    Sheep.

    I still have a couple iClear 16s and they perform well. I'll keep them until I run out of coils or I sit accidently sit on them. (Yeah don't ask). I found they leaked a little bit if you tip them so I kept them topped off but thats the only issue I had with them. Well, i would get a dry hit from them if I was really vaping full steam ahead.

    The T2, I have found gives slightly better vape, slightly better draw and flavor but Im pretty sure it wicks faster than the iClear. And it doesnt leak even if i carry it upside down in my pocket.

    I bought 1 T3. (Not the MT3) and it leaked. And I tried to do alk kinds of stuff to fix it. I probably got a bad one. Plus I did not like my top heavy rig so I abandoned it.

    So I'm happy with the T2 for now

    That's just my experience.

    Hang in there, Tex. it might be a little rocky at first til you find a flavor that suits you. Sometimes when you are trying new flavors they can be great for a couple of drags but quickly cloy on you. I suggest starting with subtle flavors at first. Maybe a straight tobacco flavor or something subdued like a mild fruit or a cafe mocha. Hang on to the cotton candy because you can add a touch of it to other juices to sweeten them up a little if they're too dull.

    If you have a smart phone or an iPad do a search on your travel route to locate a place that sells e-juices. Lately, more and more smoke shops and cigarette outlets are carrying some juices if you can't find an actual vape store.

    If you want to post pictures you have to upload them to a third party site like Flickr and then link the URL. There may be other methods.

    Good luck!

    Bebop got a reaction from Tam in kinda diggin' peanut butter right now   
    I thought I'd try peanut butter on a whim. But only because I was able to taste test it and I was surprised how much I actually liked it. But then I tend to like coffee and nutty flavors more than anything else. But the shocker came when I realized that peanut butter seems to suit marriage with other flavors and although I do like berry and fruit flavors, I just can't vape them all day. As it turns out I can mix it with my fruit flavors and vape it all day and that's good because now I'm using up my juices.

    Plus I thought it would be fun to "DIY" even if you pros are laughing at the noob, lol

    My latest creation- 60% peanut butter, 30% Strawberry fields, 10% waffle. I think I'll bump up the waffle a little bit over the peanut butter but this one's good! Just like mom used to make! Good afternoon snack

    Bebop got a reaction from MPsilver in whats your favorite flavor?   
    MP. We must be neighbors. You might want to try Platinum Vapes too. You can taste test there too.

    On line ive had the best juices from Sweet-Vapes and from Vape Dudes so far.

    But when you start out its best to be able to test and find what you like. It is vapor only does 60/40 pg/vg mix and Platinum only does 50/50. On line you can mix what you like and get custom mixes. Best is to try out first then you can go on line and go crazy with flavors

    Nah,man. You didn't destroy them. You just got them all excited and riled up and then let them down rather abruptly. You introduced them to this intense stimulating flavor and you switched it up on them and now they're pissed at you. Just let 'em chill out for a bit and they'll be happy again in a little bit. Haven't you ever powered down a bowl of chips and hot salsa and wondered why you couldn't taste the first few bites of your favorite enchiladas? Just sensory overload.

    I suspect you will have a hard time finding exactly what is in the flavorings. Mostly because its proprietary. "Trade Secrets". You can only hope or trust that the FDA has done their homework. But a lot of things are approved for human consumption that may not in actual fact be "good for you". Take aspartame for example used as a sweetener in diet drinks. It's FDA approved but - we'll, google it when you have a few hours,lol

    A quality flavoring shouldn't be too bad. Natural extracts, sometimes some food dyes and some kind of base to suspend it all together. One of the DIY guys might have more info on this. But there is a significant amount of flavoring in a juice. I've seen upwards of 20%.

    It can't hurt to stay away from heavily dyed, perfumed, overly sweet juices. You have to remember we are consuming food products and not in a way intended by the manufacturers. Personally, I think more research needs to go in to this area for vaping to really come of age.

    Vaping has been done for years, apparently pretty safely. Be a smart consumer and know where your stuff comes from.

    This is my opinion and speculation and is not to be taken as pure fact

    Bebop got a reaction from kitsune in Pairing Flavors   
    My Wife got an order from Sweet-Vapes just before the weekend so we've tried out some new flavors. I won't review them other than to say they were all decent and quite vapable. Juicy peach, cinnamon roll, Spearmint, Chocolate truffle. I digress....

    This is the first time I have ever paired a flavor. The cinnamon roll by itself was good. Perfectly acceptable and enjoyable. A little "bready" but not bad. But when I took a sip of coffee and then vaped it, Wow! It came alive. I'm not kidding, it was significantly better. I was quickly addicted and now I have to vape the cinnamon roll with coffee. I tried vaping it through the day but it just wasn't the same. Again not bad, but I was amazed how the combination was outstanding.

    But then I thought, the only time my wife has ever struggled through this process is when she has a glass of wine. I mean the first words out of her mouth after we tip a glass is "oh my god, I want a cigarette". Fortunately, she has some tobacco flavor vape and that totally does it for her. But again, she loves the pairing of wine and tobacco flavors. It's funny, I don't have the same thought at all. I'm happy to have a beer or a glass of wine without vaping. In fact I don't enjoy the combination of sweet and alcohol.

    I guess that was a bit long-winded, lol. I'm interested to hear about other's "pairings". It's kind of added a whole new dimension to this thing.

    I live in a large metropolitan area and I don't run in to many vapers in my travels except for the occasional stop at a vape store (there are 3 fairly near by) which always seem to be packed with people. I have referred quite a number of people to vaping and most are sticking with it and I see them regularly. My wife and I have personally gotten about 8 - 10 people to quit smoking in the last 2 months and they love it. It's a huge success for us. I'm looking forward to it being more common and it seems to be headed that way.
