  1. So this is what I decided to go with, sorry about the crappy pic. But no better upload option lol. 
    I went with the new Defenders from Heatvape, This is 36W 8V with the battery built in. I am loving this Feel like kicking myself for not buying something this good a year ago. This Tells me what my coils read at, how many watts, volts, the LCD is real clear to read. This is made well, feels like good quality. I like it because it is not to big or to small. I really like how the tank sits on the center of this battery. I am on day 3 with it and it is just night and day compared to standard e cig batteries. Really getting full flavor from my juices now and loving it. 
     
    Also got a couple new tanks and one that I have to build the coils on! 
     
    The good is I love this, the bad is I opened the door big time, I am already checking out and researching more and more. After this I do not think I would mind larger box mods anymore, something I did not want when I started this thread lol. Also I am finding myself wanting to build coils, and build up on these tanks, much re search and learning has to be done before hand, but I can see this turning crazy fast lol 
     
    Hopefully I can show some self control before my wallet springs a leak lol
     
    In all seriousness though, I love my new battery. 

     

  2. I don't use to many FW flavorings, but have noticed the chocolates they carry are very dark. Yes I would still go at least 20. If you want a lighter color Chocolate then you may want to try The Flavor Apprentice (TFA). When it comes to chocolate and coffee flavors are dark by nature. The Caramel from TFA is a med tan color. I think it has good flavor as well.

     

    The darker color flavors will burn out coils faster, but it is the flavor that really matters. You know when it has too much flavor if it has a chemical after taste.

    Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. 

  3. I'll toss you a bone Tug... As a rule do not go below 20% on any flavoring to start, except Tobacco flavors. On high VG mixes that rule changes to 25%.

    What would your thoughts be for just Caramel Candy would you stick with 20-25% on that? Or less, I noticed with a Choc/fudge I did 20% flavor looked like black tar lol  

  4. I am not as experienced as the rest that answered the question. But could it also be because of burning? I had a setup a few years ago that would burn juice, some not as bad as others, and some not at all. Then again he did just say brown, not super brown then black lol . Some great advice in this thread though. 

  5. I have a Horizon Scion quad coil that's .6 ohm and I built a .4 ohm dual coil on my dripper the other day. My MVP 30W has no complaints firing either of these. If you're all about durability the MVP will not disappoint you. For a really good deal check out Vapor Beast. They have the 20 watt version for around 30 dollars right now and the 30W for around 40 using the coupon code"YEAHBABY". Best prices I've ever seen.

    Perfect thanks for the code. That's exactly who I was planning on ordering through.
  6. Thanks for the advice and options, I will be ordering one this Friday. Still researching the ones that were talked about in this thread. Think I have it down to 3

    The IPV mini 2 sounds good although 70watts is probably something a little over board. I did read one review from a online shop I use and the review said the charger port broke 2 days after received, they did replace it for the customer but it had me question the quality of the product.

    The 50w eleafs do not sound to bad, I wouldn't have to mess with changing the battery as mentioned, the one question I would have is can you replace the battery on these if you wanted to?

    I really like what some of you guys said about the MVP, the new 30 watt ones the 3.0 I was looking at. I'm all about durability and well made products. I like my purchases to last. So right now I am kinda leaning for the MVP, the only concern is will the 30 watts be good enough for the new tanks out and coming out? I'm not dripping, or cloud chasing. I do like nice big hits though.

  7. I would be interested to see what your nic tests at after you do your aging process. Let us know.

    I will for sure keep everyone updated. I however can say this. I have been use to the halo line for a while now, I was using the 18mg nicotine that they have. I would vape through about three 2.5ml tanks, the halo flavor was good. But I must say with my juice I actually feel more satisfied and am going through about a tank less a day then I have been with the halo e juice. I personally wouldn't have thought jumping from 18 to 20mg would have made a huge difference but it has. I also noticed with a juice like the Modzilla which I thin it's only a 12mg I go through way more juice then I would with the halo juices.

    I made the juice for my own personal stash, not for sale. However If you would like to check out a bottle and let me know what you think I have no problem pulling you a bottle from one of my jars and sending to you to check out.

  8. I do as well, but not for 36 hours. It just needs to be warm enough to change the viscosity of the VG (make it thinner) and then a good shake is more than enough.

    I have seen some posts at other forums recommending doing this up to 3 days. There is some trail and error making these things no matter what you do or read. Also it depends on your heating source, one slow cooker may boil on low, and one may just keep warm. It depends. I was gonna do this one for 3 days as I did read it else where, my Home Run thread in the DIY section, I made it late night and pulled it when I woke up in the morning. Trail and error and seeing what works and what does not. It's a process. I know for a fact warming works for me. It's amazing.
  9. I'm still trying to figure out why your cooking your juice...

    I cook for a living and I can put a hunk of meat in a slow cooker and get it well-done with that time...

    Your burning that crap.... No disrespect but none of this needs to be heated up...

    Not cooking it, I am warming it for blending purposes. Many juice makers do this. It speeds up the aging process.
  10. The IPV mini 30w is a great mod paired with a Samsung 25r or Purple Efest.I have a Subtank Mini and I'm having issues with it wicking high VG.Ive heard nothing but good things about the Delta II,but the coils are kind of pricey

    one thing Joyetech has is high priced coils. Can't speak for the delta yet I have not tried it, but my ego one has had no issues with higher VG juices
  11. So I have been digging my ego one XL and that is the only real nice e cig I own, the battery was killer at first, but I have found myself needing to buy a back up ego one battery to keep me going through out the day.

    I also want to try some of the other tanks like the delta 2 and some of the new Kanger tanks with the RBA coils. That being said I am in the market for a new battery in the next couple of weeks. I was kinda looking at the evic supreme from Joyetech, but have not made a final choice yet. I hear the Samsung battery's last good in some mods. I don't want to get a box yet, I want something I can carry with me easy. Any recommendations for a battery with the tanks I want to try out? Also is 30w good enough for those or 50w??

  12. So my second attempt at a 300ml bottle was a success. I made a Honey Tabacco, with apple, honey, and a touch of caramel. 20mg Nic. This is amazing. One of my favs when I started in the vape world was midnight Apple by halo. It was a good flavor, but I feel I killed it. Toatly hyped up about it lol. My juice has a nice color and great vapor production, I couldn't be more happy. Seems to vape real nice and in somewhat of a good order. First you get that Tabacco and a hint of honey, then a nice Apple on the exhale, ending the whole thing ends with that hint of caramel. It's so good. Got real lucky. No more running out of juice for me anytime soon. Also I am real excited with my Tabacco I can see this can be a good base for many more e juices I want to mix up. Wanted to post a pic I took of the mixture to show everyone but I couldn't figure out how to. Back to enjoying some vape for me. Big thanks to the posts in this forum, and some of the good advice I received here, would have never pulled this off without you guys. Cheers.

  13. So I am very sure the issue with this juice was it was just made with to much Apple flavoring. Thanks to everyone for the advice and thoughts, I will re visit this juice at a later date to tweek it. I feel confident that by making a VG/PG/NIC only mixture and using it to tone this down a bit will work just fine.

  14. Was the juice bottle itself sealed when you heated it? Nicotine evaporates rapidly. Heating it may have reduced your nic content leading to sweetness as well.

    Comp, is there a way to accurately measure nic content after mixing?

    No I do not leave them sealed, and like I said my slow cooker is not really cooking the juice it is just warming it for the purpose of blending everything together. I have a base nic test kit from wizard labs. Also my Nic is 100mg 100%VG from wizard labs as well, so I do not think that would evaporate at all. If it did a little it's no big deal, I made it 20mg of nic and I am use to 18mg for my purchased vapes. Vapping the juice I made for a few days now, I must say it is getting better everyday. Not as sweet as when first tried, and I feel very satisfied after vapping, so I doubt the nic juice was weaken during warming at all.
  15. 36hrs of heating? Why? That is not doing anything but cooking the juice and degrading the nicotine. If your jars were not covered it may have steamed off some the flavor and PG.

     

    Aside from that, I'm not sure there is anyway to really cut down the sweet without dropping the VG. By cutting with PG it will reduce the Nic content and will also boost the TH. It will reduce some of the sweet taste and dilute the flavor. There may be added sweeteners in the flavorings, though Flavor West did not list any on the site. I would test a small amount first as others have mentioned.

     

    I would first try reducing 5ml to a 50/50 blend and see if it helps.

    Thank you for the advice, I'm gonna let it age a week or two and re test it out. As far as the 36 hours in the slow cooker on low, I don't really believe it cooked the juice at all, just kept it warm enough to blend everything together. I use the slow cooker with the lid off and I can put my finger in the water, it's a little above warm but not burning hot or boiling.
  16. Update, it just may need some time to age a bit, I don't think I will have to trash it at all, I'm gonna give it a week or two and go back to it.

    I also made a honey tobacco Apple one with a pinch of caramel last night. Steeped it over night and everything blended good, I for sure will give it some time now before I test it out. Toned down the flavors on this one and kicked up the VG a bit, we will see how it turns out.
