    CaptStuBeans got a reaction from Uma in Kanger Pro Tank   
    I didn't see a thread here about the Kanger Pro Tank, and was hoping we could have a single thread to discuss this bad boy.

    My initial thoughts:

    Pros
    They are built like a tank (get it?) I have yet to have one leak Pyrex ! Easy to set up Easy to fill Easy to clean Super easy to see your juice level. Comes in a nice case, with two atomizers and a collar thingy Price (wont break your bank) Cons
    Airy draw (when will someone make a universal tip to go on top!!!!). Heavy (im a ego-spinner battery kinda guy) I have purchased five of them from Mt Baker for $22.95. I have seen them a smidgen cheaper, but often out of stock, and I tend to buy 85% of my juice from MBV.

    Would love to hear other's thoughts, links on who carries them....sort of the be all end all thread for the product.

    CaptStuBeans got a reaction from jimvazquez2 in looking for suggestions for menthol/mint flavors..Dekang?   
    I was a menthol smoker for 33 years. I have purchased a lot of menthols in the past week and testing. Right now, my favorite is Jeff's menthol mix (wordupecig.com). I have a dekang coming, so I cant comment on that. Also, oddly, I have been hooked on this mix of menthol and cinnamon - http://altsmoke.com/altliquid/mentheliquid/sinthol.html . I cant seem to get enough. I'm not even a cinnamon guy. It's like this sweet inhale, and a menthol exhale. I cant describe it.

    Got mine just the other day and...man! Talk about some vapor coming out.

    The first coil burned out in less than 24 hours and I didn't even use it that much. I discovered that my local brick & mortar store carries these so I went to get replacement coils. They handed me a box of EVOD coils and said that they fit the Pro Tank. Thankfully, the coils are very inexpensive. I'm hoping this one lasts longer than the first did. I like the Pro Tank much better than the iClear30.

    my two Kanger ProTanks arrived yesterday (Mt Baker). They are head and shoulders above everything else I have. Already ordered three more ! Pyrex is the way to go. Juices taste so much better.

    CaptStuBeans got a reaction from VegasLady in Vaping at Yankee Stadium....I've been warned !   
    I received a 'written warning' at Yankee stadium last night for SMOKING!

    Would anyone like to help draft a letter? Below is what I have written so far.

    ********

    I attended the game on April 26th, 2013, sitting in section 220c. I was administered a warning by the section attendant for ‘smoking’. I am not a smoker. I was however using an electronic cigarette, which does not produce smoke, nor has any tobacco product in it. I politely accepted the rather embarrassing warning, but a few innings later went to talk to the attendant.

    During our discussion, he stated he was well aware that I was not smoking, however stated that the electronic cigarette is considered the ‘same thing’, and that I would be removed from the stadium if I continued to use it. I asked him if anyone around me complained, to which he responded ‘no’. I then asked to speak with his supervisor.

    During my discussion with his supervisor, I asked where I could find a written policy stating that usage of an electronic cigarette is prohibited in the stadium. The woman told me that its printed on the back of my ticket and on the Yankee website. I asked her to show me where on my ticket this is stated, at which we said ‘I can’t read it, it’s too small’. This is in fact true, but I have scanned the ticket and have read each word. There is NO statement on the ticket about smoking at all, no less language on the usage of an electronic cigarette.

    Additionally, I have reviewed the Yankee website, and at this link (http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/nyy/ballpark/information/index.jsp?content=guide), the smoking policy simply states, “Smoking is prohibited in Yankee Stadium. There are no designated smoking areas, and re-entry is prohibited. Violators will be ejected immediately”.

    I am proud to be a non-smoker, and even more proud to be a supporter not only of the Yankees, but the stadium itself. I cannot however understand the embarrassing treatment I received at the stadium. I was singled out and was made to be a spectacle. While I love the team, I can no longer support the franchise, and would strongly suggest you update your written policies so it is crystal clear to the ever growing community of e-cig users.
    *************

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Best,
    Stu

    CaptStuBeans reacted to CascadianExotics in First Impressions of the K100   
    Ok, so it isn't mine....but, my buddy is in the process of moving, and had his K100 kit shipped to my home. Then told me to charge the batteries and check it out. He probably MEANT for me to inspect the unit for defects....but (thankfully for me), the English language can be twisted to one's advantage if expressed with any hint of ambiguity, and especially so if put in writing....such as a text message!!!! Build Quality: Out of the mailbox, the first thing I noticed was how heavy the package was. Initially, I assumed it was the batteries and charger making up the weight. Nope....this mod is SOLID! For a guy who's only seen a couple mods in person, and held an Evic once, the sheer solidity of this Chinese-built mod completely took me by surprise. The threading is smooth, and holds well. The bottom firing button has a good tension, allowing the user to fire the unit with ease, yet does not depress when stood on end....even in 18650 mode with a full tank attached. The reverse-thread locking ring is a nice feature, and is fairly easy to get used to. However, it does stick if turned too hard in unlock mode. My only complaint with the build is the use of a plastic seat on top of the battery spring. I believe it would be a better idea to use a hot-spring rather than the plastic seat. Especially as this mod is being marketed as a "My First Mod" type kit for Vapers new to the world of mods. Performance: The K100 performs well right out of the box. For those using eGo-type units, this is a great step up. Users are strongly advised to upgrade the included batteries to better IMRs, upgrade the charger, and rely on other delivery systems than the included cartomizers. Outside of that, there is not a complaint to be had in this department. Fit and Finish: Perhaps the only aspect of the K100 that would put me off from buying one for myself would be in the looks department. In pictures, the unit looks clunky, and hard to hold in the hand. Honestly, it does not look near as bad in person. It feels comfortable, and natural in the hand. Especially in 18350 mode. However, it looks like something I'd find in my girlfriend's nightstand drawer. If you can get past the "Ribbed for Her Pleasure" look to the K100, properly research the use of mechanical mods (possibly investing in a mod fuse), and upgrade the batteries and charger then this mod is a great buy!!! I cannot think of any reason not to...for your first mod, or to add to your collection.

    "Best" when it comes to flavor is 100% subjective. One of the worst juices I have ever had was a mocha. I hated it. gave it to a friend, he loved it and buys it in bulk now. for me, I love Vanilla.

    "Best" should always be followed with "for me."

    A Vivi Nova tank or a CE4 style clearomizer should treat you pretty well. It will work with your existing ego batteries.

    A dry burn is just any time you fire a attomizer with no eliquid in it. This generally a VERY BAD idea as if the wicking material burns it will taste terrible and there's really no way to get rid of that taste.

    Usually, the only time people suggest you dry burn is if you're cleaning out your clearomizer with water, dry burning can evaporate the water as sorta of faster dry method. I just squeeze a paper towel over the wick and let any leftover water work it's way out as i vape it.

    The eGo is popular because it works so well but I understand not wanting to deal with the mouthpieces etc.

    You could always pick up a single ego Battery (they last upwards of about 16 hours) a charger and a pack of cartomizers. Cartomizers have been around for a while but I still use them and they work great. You can vape on it all day without having to worry about the battery draining and constantly running out. I'm a heavy vapor so I understand where youre coming from

    No it is very similar to the Kanger Evod's. I saw your other post regarding the certain flavors of eliquid, affecting the tanks. I noticed you have two Protanks on the way. Those will be fine for those flavors it is a glass tank. Other then that, you can get metal tubes for Nova, or Pyrex tanks for cartotanks and you'll be fine.

    CaptStuBeans got a reaction from Lyrical in 9 from Mt Baker   
    The below are from my recent order. I was a menthol smoker for 33 years, so I like the minty crap. All the Mt Baker stuff produces very nice vapor. All juices were steeped overnight, then shaken and vaped in a new Vision CE4 Clearos, with standard ego batteries (650s, 1000s). I did not try these on the spinner.

    For as many juices I have tried, this is the first company that I like on par with Niquid (my all time fav).

    Blue Ice E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
    Not bad. Subtle fruity flavor. I couldnt really say it was a blueberry flavor, but this one didn't go in my junk pile.

    Candy Cane E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 2)
    One of the better ones. Very much like a candy cane. Cool going in, cool going out. A repeat for me.

    Cinnamon Roll E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)

    Ecto Cooler E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
    Liked it the first day. Came back to it next day and hated it. It's like drinking a bad fruit juice.

    Extreme Ice E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
    Liked this one. Clearly a wintergreen flavor. A repeat for me.

    Menthol E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
    Very minty. It has that menthol mint, but not really any tobacco flavor. For me, it's a repeat.

    Thug Juice E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 1)
    The worst of the order. Tasted like i ran down the perfume isle at macys with my mouth open.

    Venom E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 0)
    They claim its 'all' of their cinnamon flavors in one. I didn't like it. It does have a massive throat kick, as others had reviewed.

    White Out E Juice Baker Vapor
    (Nicotine Strength: 18 mg/ml (Medium), Blend: PG 80% VG 20% , Bottle Size: 15 ml, Extra Flavoring Shot (.25 cents per shot): 0)
    Like a Tic Tac. I added some menthol to take away some of the sweetness. Still on the fence if I would reorder.

    Personally....I say, have a cigarette. It was the best thing I ever did. about a month in...no cravings up to that point...then out of no where, I got a craving. Mind you had gone into vaping without intending to quit smoking, it just happened. I digress...had a smoke, and almost threw up...it was so nasty. It cut the final cord of ever want to smoke again. That was a little less than 4 years ago.

    The more pressure we put on ourselves to quit....the more anxiety we develop and makes the cravings worse.

    side note....be very careful with the 30mg....can make you feel like ****
