    I don't know if would work for you, but I use a juice made by one of the premium vendors here on the board. His site is http://www.fadoravapor.com/ He goes by Compenstine here on the board. The flavor is not listed on his site. It is called Frutti-Tutti. It is a blend he made of 10+ fruit flavors. I can't even tell you what it tastes like. It tastes different each time!

    spydre reacted to bcartervol98 in The culture of smoking vs vaping   
    What I bolded is in my opinion the biggest problem with the "culture" of vaping today. The main objective is staying off analogs and improving your health and quality of life. A very small minority see it as a $%#@ measuring contest and push the equipment to the limits of safety to see who can blow the biggest cloud. If thats what one wants to do they can go for it but do not think it is the "norm" at all.

    I have yet in approaching two years suck vapor directly into my lungs. I know no one personally that does that. I take a drag then inhale and repeat as often as necessary. I hit my e-cig like I would an analog always have.

    Best of luck in staying off analogs! I will be two years in April and have never felt better!

    My recommendation would to make very small batches (5ml) until you start hitting on what you like. Otherwise you will find yourself throwing away what your saving. If you mix something palatable try to vape through it and keep notes what you might change. As far as aging Ive learned if I didn't like it the day after I mixed it, I still didnt like it month later.

    I mix and vape, Im not running a wine cellar

    spydre reacted to jasonculp in Kanger SUBTANK vs. Aspire Atlantis,which one would you pick?   
    I am sure you tried it, but I am curious, does it measure the same when screwed into the base? From what I have read the Sig is fairly accurate when it come to measuring ohms (for a mod).

    It could be with the right design, but you would do better just to build a wood mod with a 50-100wat chip. I honestly don't think that Modding it would be worth the hassle.

    I do not have any experience with the Tesla. Being a dual 18650 you should get some respectable vape time out of it. (If you buy the sub ohm tanks) Make sure to read up on the all the safety stuff in the rebuilding/modding forums. I understand you are not rebuilding, but subohming is subohming. Mechanical mods have no real saftey for shorts and low voltage. (I have never seen one taken apart, so I am assuming)

    My only problem with a Mechanical mod/tank combination is the reduction of power as your battery drains. Earthling was talking about it in an earlier post. With the most regulated mods you keep the same power at the coil until the mod's battery cut off kicks in. Another problem is that they are not powerful enough on tanks. I run my Nautilus and Delta at 13 eleaf watts which is nearly 17 normal watts. A mechanical mod with fresh batteries can only put out around 9.8 watts (4.2volts with a 1.8ohm coil). It will fall off pretty quick after that.

    Have you ever considered trying a bottom coil unit? I never was able to get any sort of decent taste out of top coil tanks I used when I first started vaping. I know that's not your immediate issue which sounds like a bad mix of liquid, but long term I bet you would be happier.

    Another thought is are both you and your friend using the same resistance coils? I ask because I only use 1.8ohm coils and the other day I had one go bad at work and wouldn't fire and only had replacement coils here in 2.2 ohm and I could barely taste anything until I got home and put a 1.8 back in. It is amazing how resistance can reduce flavor at a constant power setting.

    BeBop is wise... once you "burn" a coil in a tank, any juice in that tank will pick up the burnt flavor... so you'll think the next dozen coils are all burnt too, when they're not.

    Empty the tank, tear it apart, wash, wash, rinse, rinse, rinse, and air-dry overnight. Pop in a fresh coil with fresh juice, and you'll probably find the problem solved.

    Vapers tongue perhaps? Try s different flavor before you blame the tank. Soak the coil pack in alcohol a few hours and then rinse and dry it, then put a different flavor in it and give it a try...if it works...vapors tongue...if not:replace the coil.

    Lack of flavor could be a failing coil...

    The coils that ship with the tanks are notorious for being sub-standard... personally I think they are contaminated with machining oils... But, even then, a coil used steadily (especially with dark/sweet juices) will generally start to give-out after 18-25ml of juice have been vaped through it.... That's the life-span in my experience with Kanger coils... 18-20ml and you start to notice some decrease in function... and sometime after 25ml the decrease intensifies. It does not always happen this way... some may hold out for 40ml before decrease, but I'm just giving ball-park-averages, based on my experience.

    Did you thoroughly clean the tank before you started using it? Have you tried a replacement coil? What battery/device are you using with the Mega?

    Steeping is a fallacy that was originally started by juice makers to respond to complaints. They would tell the masses that the juice will taste better after sitting for 3-4 weeks. People want to believe it taste better so in their minds it does. Dont believe the steeping proponents. They are weak minded.

    Or add a disclaimer at the bottom saying that they can also be used on an Aerotank and/or KPT3 but some vapers have had issues with leaking when used. Buy and use with these tanks at your own discretion.

    That way they're warned before hand.

    Pretty typical and one more reason regulation is coming and it needs to to be honest. Its one thing for someone at home to build coils in a dangerous way but its ENTIRELY different when a place of business does the same thing. They should be looking out for vapers rights not doing their best to get them taken away.

    As you know I only use single coils in my Davides and I have not had any issue at all. These are new Davides that come with the dual coils that I toss and put in a single. I tried the doubles but prefer the singles by a vast margin.

    Often people mistake a gurgling from condensation as leaking. Every tank I have ever had occasionally floods when altitudes or temperatures change drastically. Every time I go hunting and am out in the cold 4-5 hours and get back in my car every tank I use floods under that scenario.

    I guess I have been lucky but I have been through hundreds of Kanger single coils, some from VT store some other places, but out of those hundreds there have been two or three that were "bad" and truly leaked. I will take that failure rate any day with almost anything lol.

    That was BS story just for a sale.... WoW Yeah, I would be like aufin and would have got kicked out for checking the guy. Having said that, building a coil that low and not checking it is Definitely unsafe. That is asking for trouble and a lawsuit if that mod blows up on the guy. Not to mention how irresponsible and unprofessional it was.
