  1. I looked and saw these. I plan to order some from him in the future but his price on the CE4 that I am using now are $1 higher than the other place I get them. I may order some coils for the T2s I have from him though but I really do not like how "airy" they are so not sure if I will continue to use them or not. I love the 2.5ml capacity so I am torn. Maybe taping over one of the air holes at the base would do the trick.
  2. With my spinner fruit flavors seem to taste best about 3.3-3.8v and my new favorite Tobacco flavor tastes best about 4.0-4.2v. Anything higher than that tastes burnt to me, but I am using low resistance clearomizers so it might be different with a higher resistance.
  3. Ordered clearomizers from SunVapes supposed to be true Vision brand CE4s and when compared to actual Vision CE4s (V2) from other suppliers I realize that either they were from the bottom of a huge batch and an older style or cheap knockoffs. Hate to be harsh, and not worth my time to try and return them, but they are garbage. Out of the four I have attempted to use two have literally ran the liquid out the bottom and the other two have an awful seal and leak liquid out the top. The wicks were all twisted and unwraveling. Will never order from here again. Both sweet-Vapes and veteran Vaper seem to carry true Vision brand. On the knockoffs it looks like there is one large wick on both sides and the ones that work best have four smaller wicks on both sides. They fit much tighter and haven't leaked yet.
  4. Or order another one 90% PG and mix the two? Not a math wizard but should give you about an 80-20 mix. More money but if you vape you will eventually need it. That's how I would fix it. I ordered a lot of 50-50 to start and ordered 100% PG in 24mg to mix in and give better throat hit. Fruit flavors are better to me a little muted anyway, at least for my taste.
  5. I haven't gotten a single thing from Sweet-Vapes I haven't liked at least some. Their Traditional Tobacco is the bomb. Closest thing to an analog I have found and with about 1/4 Juicy Peach mixed in it is a great combination for a change of pace. Love VapeDudes but some of the flavors I ordered I am not fond of but its mainly my fault for not reading the negative reviews. I have found most every negative review to be spot on, but got in a hurry and didn't put enough thought into it.
  6. I got an email today that if you use the coupon code MAYSALE15 you get 15% off 30ml. I ordered 3 more this afternoon and a Juicy Peach, my favorite fruit mixer by a mile. I found my all day vape for sure with a little peach for variety on occasion!
  7. Ok just got in my Traditional Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes and this is the closest thing to an analog I have tried. I know a lot of people avoid this, but it is what I have been looking for. My search for a true tobacco flavor is over. VapeDudes has them beat on the fruit flavors except the Juicy Peach, but the Traditional Tobacco will be my ADV for the foreseeable future. It also mixes will with fruit flavors to give it almost a pipe tobacco taste. They nailed this one!
  8. I haven't tried them yet, but I will I am sure. Have heard nothing but great things about them.
  9. I am probably not much help with this, but I use the V2s and love them. When I buy a tank it will be a Mini Nova or Vivi Nova both by Vision as well.
  10. Sia once you get the jargon you are golden lol. Kanger and Vision are two separate companies that manufacture e-cig hardware. Vision makes the Vivi Nova, Mini Nova, CE4, CE5, V2, V3, Stardust (some of these are same things called different names) and Kanger makes the Pro Tank, T2, T3, and I am sure others. I have a couple T2s from Kanger that are very airy, but a piece of tape over one of the holes and it becomes usable even though now that they make the T3 the heads for the T2 are very hard to find. I have not used a tank, but for my money I am a big Vision fan and use them almost exclusively right now.
  11. Ok Sweet-Vapes Original Tobacco in 24mg 80/20 blend is tops, just came in and WOW what a difference 24mg 80/20 makes from 18mg 50-50! Classic Tobacco from Vape Dudes is a (not so) close second, want to try this now in 24mg 80/20 blend. Have tried these 4 and are ranked from top to bottom. I find these almost intolerable. Cherry Tobacco (VapeDudes) American Standard (VapeDudes) Denver Dusk (Vaporleaf) Turkish Blend(dekang
  12. You just have to find what you like. I cannot stand the Dekang liquids from eliquidmarket and plan to give them away. I ordered one form Vaporleaf and disliked it immensely. All these smelled and tasted like moldy socks. I just have found both Sweet-Vapes.com (be sure to use the hyphen as there is another site without it I know nothing about) and VapeDudes.com have been consistent in flavors and shipping. Be sure to read reviews thoroughly and utilize sample pack deals. Its how I am determining what I like and what I do not like at a minimal expense. I plan to order some Vapor Talk juice at some point too.
  13. Yea the biggest thing for me now is finding the flavors I like. I ordered spearmint, Hazlenut Coffee, and three Vanilla variants to try from VapeDudes and unlike a lot I really like the taste of tobacco and am still searching for the right one. So far Classic tobacco from VapeDudes is the best but waiting on the mail to run today to get my Original Tobacco from Sweet-Vapes. The fruit flavors are nice at times but hard to vape all day, at least for me. I loathe coffee but saw many reviews where non coffee drinkers really liked some of the coffee vapes. The main thing I like to do with fruit flavors now, other than my two I like the best (Strawberry Fields from VapeDudes and Juicy Peach from Sweet-Vapes) is to mix them with tobacco flavor about 80% tobacco and 20% fruit flavor. I think somewhere in there I will find my all day vape.
  14. Well first I do not expect to get more than a couple weeks to a month out of a clearomizer, may have been an off brand too. I am still a little new at this but havent "cracked" one yet. I find the clearomizers I use to deliver great flavor, so much so that I have ordered unflavored to mix with some of my stronger flavors to mute it a little making some I wouldnt normally vape a little more tolerable so as not to waste the money on them. I have only used an atomizer-cartomizer system on the cheap set i bought from the mall to start and it had virtually no flavor and very little vapor. I get easily 10x the hit from my setup now as compared to those cigarette looking V-2 styles. These are the exact Clearos I use. http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_color_plus.tpl&product_id=1156&category_id=39 I ordered some from a company called SunVapes too but they came with unwraveling and twisted wicks, the ones that came with my VapeDudes eGo T kit that were private label have work fine but I still like the ones from Sweet-Vapes better. They have the Vision logo and arent private label and seem to have a tighter seal, threads fit better, wicks are all uniform and in great shape, and have had 0 leaks through the bottom unlike the private label ones that I have to blow out every refill. So far I have found Sweet-Vapes.com and VapeDudes.com to be the most reliable suppliers. I think I like VapeDudes liquids a little better overall but they have limited hardware selections.
  15. And I plan to stick with the Ego style Batteries and clearomizers for the foreseeable future but once I find the flavors that will be all day vapes for me I plan to get a couple tanks with replaceable coils. Most likely a Mini Nova from Vision or a Kangre Pro Tank but for now the clearos are fine.
  16. In Knoxville TN, a city of 100k+ counting students at UT, the closest Vapor Store is about 80 miles away. Once I know more about this overall and legislation becomes apparent what is going to happen I may open one here. I have ordered 100% of the stuff I use online. I started buying a "Topaz" kit at the mall for my wife and I for a little over $200 total with a few extra disposable cartos and it was garbage but they are the only place in town that sells anything other than Blu, NJoy, and Nfinity. Funny that now we together have 4 Vision Spinners 1300mah, 4 eGoT 1000mah, 20 CE4 Clearos and have spent less than those damn cheap 808 (I think they were, cigarette style pull on them to activate end glows and 3-4 hour battery life and about the same to charge) starter kits cost. It is truly amazing the difference between the cig styles like Blu and NJoy and the real stuff. Its like going from a McDonalds cheeseburger to a Filet Mignon.
  17. Just re-ordered the Juicy Peach 30ml from Sweet-Vapes. I think it has potential to be my all day vape. Also they have a promotion through the 19th at midnight using promo code MAYSALE15 to get 15% off any 15ml or 30ml size. It is case sensitive so use all caps.
  18. I use Vision Spinner with CE4 clearomizers. The CE4 has all sorts of names that are synonymous. CE4, Vision V2, and Stardust are all the same thing. Everyone has their favorite supplier but I got my spinners from Sweet-Vapes.com for $24,95 each and they have the real brand Vision V2 (CE4) Clearomizers for $3.95 and are the best I have found after ordering from 3 different suppliers. There are a lot of fakes out there, look for the VV logo not the "private label" stuff. 0 leaking so far, and havent had to toss one yet after over 2 weeks of heavy use. They are meant to be disposable but everyone will have different experiences with life span of these due to difference in liquids and usage. I plan to switch to a tank at some point, but for now the clearomizers I am using are awesome. I am trying lots of different flavors of liquid to find what I like and do not like. Once I find what my all day vape will be I am going to buy a tank but for now I am happy where I am equipment wise.
  19. Welcome James. I am approaching a month of smoke free vape living and loving the way I feel! Tennessee boy here, ask questions and take it in there is a lot of options available.
  20. Best deal on CE4 I have found. I believe CE4, V2, and Stardust are all synonymous. http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_color_plus.tpl&product_id=1156&category_id=39
  21. With the delivery today of my additional 1300mah Spinner I will not be using my original EGOT 1000mah batteries. With a full charge, how much do they discharge sitting unused? I plan to use these as backups and switch out between the two Spinners as my primary batteries but want to know they are there and ready. If they go a week, two weeks, a month, will they retain their charge assuming the power is switched off and there is no use?
  22. I am not a fan of the Turkish Blend at all, it was cheap enough but unless my wife likes it I will most likely give it to someone on here that wants it if they pay the postage. That, the Dekang Cherry, and the Denver Dusk are my 3 least favorite flavors and find all 3 to be disgusting personally. I know everyone likes different things but I do not like any of those three at all.
  23. I am going to be frank in my reviews and remember taste is subjective but this has been what I have found so far: VapeDudes (all 16mg in 50-50 mix but plan to order 24mg in 80-20 mix from here on out) American Standard: This is supposed to be a tobacco flavor, but tastes more like pancakes. At first I thought it was ok but I have grown to dislike it and for some reason the vapor doesnt dissipate and hangs around like smoke. Will not reorder Cherry Tobacco: This one should be called "Cherry Chloraseptic" very strong mediciny taste. Will not reorder Blueberry Pie: Ordered this one with the wife in mind but neither of us really like it. Will not reorder but not completely unvapable. WIll go to the back of the shelf for hard times Classic Tobacco: This is my favorite tobacco flavor yet, but would rate as "good" not great. I usually mix it with a little fruity flavor to get a better taste. They recommend letting it steep for a couple weeks, but only ordered a 10ml sample pack and went ahead. Am going to reorder this one and steep as recommended and see if i like it even better! Blackberry: They nailed this one, will be a regular for me. Just emptied my tank as I typed this lol. Strawberry Fields: This is probably my and my wifes favorite flavor. Ordered 50ml yesterday as she hoarded all but a taste of our initial "trying everything out" order. Perfect natural strawberry taste without any aftertaste or candy-jolly rancher feel. Watermelon Drip: This too is a flavor I like a lot. Not super strong melon but will most likely always have a bottle of this in the collection. When mixed with the Classic Tobacco it is very nice! Raspberry: I am not a huge fan of raspberries in food so I didn't know if I would like this one or not but really do. They nailed this one too. I like it a lot and will definitely re-order it. Apple Spice: Simply put, not good. Tasted like rotten apples smell. Grape Vape: Great Taste, solid natural flavor, but for some reason vaping this alone gives me heartburn. Another one that when mixed with the classic tobacco produces a great flavor and no heartburn Sweet-Vapes (All 50-50 mix, std flavor, 18mg but will be ordering 24mg 80-20 from here on out) Sugar Plum: This is a great flavor, will definitely re-order. Very sweet as the name implies but not overly sweet. This is one of my early favorites Juicy Peach: Very close to being tied with (VapeDudes) Strawberry Fields as my favorite overall flavor. Will order again very soon. May be an all day vape for me. Not super sweet, GREAT mixed with classic tobacco. Cannot wait to get their Original Tobacco flavor to mix some with. Watermelon: More of a "candy" taste than the watermelon the VapeDudes calls Watermelon Drip. Probably will not re-order this one. Strawberry: Same as watermelon, a very "jolly rancher" flavor. Probably would love it if I hadnt tried Strawberry Fields already lol. Cherry Candy: Solid flavor, only used it once but found it enjoyable. Not sure if I will reorder this one yet but nothing bad to say about it. Just not a huge fan of the cherry flavors VaporLeaf (50-50 mix 18mg) Denver Dusk: Ordered a small bottle at the recommendation in my "tobacco" thread. Was excited until it arrives and I opened it. I find it smells like moldy sweaty socks and tastes even worse. No offense to the company which seems to be great and even corrected an order I made a mistake on but this tastes like tobacco about like ketchup tastes like hotsauce. Will not use or re-order UNLESS after steeping a couple weeks it really changes the flavor. Almost unable to tell the Dekang Turkish Blend and this apart. Eliquidmarket (80-20 mix 18 mg) Turkish Blend and Cherry: I can put both of these together because they both equally suck. Very chemical tasting, like they left a film on my tongue. For the price I was excited but shortly remembered a lesson I learned long ago. You get what you pay for. Will never order Dekang again, probably will end up trashing these unless for some reason my wife likes them. Just posting what I find works for me and doesn't work for me. Remember everyone likes different things so no offense if I bashed anyones favorite vape lol. I am just getting into this and trying to find what works for me. I do not like coffee in any form, and still am on a quest to find a great tobacco flavor. I cannot imagine liking the sweet dessert flavors. I am finding I like the fruit flavors best and when mixed with a decent tobacco flavor it really becomes something I like a lot. As I branch out and try others I will post reviews in this thread. I think for the time being Sweet-vapes and The Vape Dudes will be my regular "go to" suppliers. I was in a hurry to get rid of the mall garbage and get some real stuff so I did not put a lot of thought into my initial order because I wanted it to get here fast so I didnt run back to an analog. Over 3 weeks without one! Longest I have been in 27 years and this is my first attempt to quit. I actually prefer vaping now, the wife is "getting there" lol. EDIT to add that I just realized this may belong in the Eliquid reviews section, mods please move if necessary. Sorry about that!
