    Never tried a Kanger.  I am hoping that I take to squonking and that I can do it in TC.  That would be amazing!  No dry hits.  Just diminished fog to trigger the time to squeeze in more juice.  Time will tell. 

    Ever since I had the Dripbox I have used SS316 coils in TC mode, its worked great for me. Even used it a couple of times driving to town. Dripping and driving isn't recommended, but Squonking and driving is OK.

    I'm diggin this!  Getting some great ideas of things to try.  I used Google to see "what goes with pineapple" and it brought up a bunch of fruit salads that included orange.  That's what started me pairing the two.  

    Pineapple by itself isn't very good, but when you add 2 - 3% to a mix it works out pretty well. Like you I got a 4 oz bottle of pineapple, and it will probably last a long time.

    That's interesting.  I make almost the same mix as your orange cream with a little different percentages and no pineapple.  Now I'm gonna have to try a dab of pineapple in that one to see what you are talking about.  

    I also use a little Pineapple in a mix I call Fuzzy Navel.

    10% Blood Orange

    8% Peach

    2% Pineapple

    Although there is more orange than peach, I can taste the peach more.

    Mixed this up today just playing around.  Not even sure what I will call it yet:

    3% Blood Orange (FW)

    3% Pineapple (TFA)

    2% Apple (TFA)

    6% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA)

    .5% Sweetener (TFA)

    Very nice vape but I think I will pull the Vanilla Bean back to 4% to let the other flavors shine a little more.  The apple is doing a nice job of taking the edge of the Pineapple and Orange.  

    I make a flavor I call orange cream.

    15% blood orange FW

    3% Bavarian Cream FW

    2% Pineapple  FW

    I don't notice a acid taste, but adding the pineapple seems to bring out the orange flavor more. My taste is maybe different than yours, so I may not taste the acid like you do.

    I keep looking with "one eye" so to speak at squanking.  In my mind's eye I see me squeezing, the tube coming undone and spinning in the air like an unmanned fire hose with e-juice dripping off everything in the house.  I'm really ambivalent when it comes to squanking.  I would like to try it just because it's part of the vaping culture.  On the other hand the only time I use my RDA's is either to test a new mix or have just a few vapes of some pungent "desert" after a good meal.

    I was a little skeptical about squonking, but awhile back I got a Kanger 160w dripbox, and now I really enjoy it. The RDA that came with it wasn't very good, and I replaced it with a aspire quad flex tank. I use dual .8 SS316 coils, and end up with .4 ohms, gets a little hot, but works really good using TC. 7ml bottle holds plenty of juice too.

    Nice I have 2 lathes both too big for small stuff but I do have a 6' chuck I can put in the big chucks I just dont like doing that it scares me especially at high speeds lol

     

    The 16C collets will take up to 1 5/8 material, and the 5C collets will take up to 1 inch material, big enough for what I do, besides I'm suppose to be retired if the machinery wasn't paid for I'd probably sell it, but since its paid for I keep working 2 - 3 days a week, keep myself busy.

    LOL I thought about using my lathe at work or my high speed balancer for mixing gonna be tough grabbing a 50ml plastic bottle in a 16" chuck 

    I have 3 lathes the manual lathe has a 14 inch chuck, one of the CNC lathes uses 16C collets the other one uses 5C collets. Been trying to figure out what to make for the vape industry, but with the new regs I'm finished before I start.

    Mix in 5 gal jugs.  I did see one rig that was a modified paint shaker. 

    I do have a 6 cubic foot vibratory tumbler for deburring machined parts, basically it a oversized reloading tumbler, I have used it to mix juice in plastic bottles before when I was running parts and it seemed to work pretty good.

  9. I have been toying with the idea of converting a old BBQ rotisserie to a mixer, if I use a plastic bottle I might even put a few SS ball bearings in the bottle to help with the mixing. But than it might be a hassle to get the ball bearings out.

    The primary reason why we ship to the US (other than following customs rules) is that, when we open shipping to a country that has customs regulations in place and that order is seized, we usually get some pretty angry complaints in our ticket system that their order went "missing." Even after agreeing to the terms during checkout and knowing full well in many cases, you're not supposed to import vape supplies. We're then given a couple of choices, reship out our loss (and risk it being sized again) or the customer threatens to file a chargeback. (At which point it becomes time consuming to fight. And we always fight chargebacks). 

    Way back when we did ship to Mexico, we had quite a few issues with fraudulent transactions. Which is a real shame. Ultimately, we decided to remove Mexico from our shipping options. 

    We're actually smaller (in the US anyway) than I think some people realize so those losses can really hurt the bottom line over time. I wish we could ship all over the world without hesitation but a few bad apples ruin it for everyone. :( 

     

    From what I understand from people that have shipped stuff to Mexico, a lot of legal stuff goes missing once it hits Mexico. I hear their custom agents aren't very honest.

    You go! I've been at 2mg for a long time. Just about ready to try 0mg but not quite yet.

    I have been at 2mg for a long time also, in the past 6 months I have mixed a couple of my flavors at 0 nic, I'm certain I could go to 0 nic completely maybe I will in the near future, but not quite yet. Even if I go to 0mg I don't think I'll quit vaping, I enjoy it too much as a hobby.

    I picked up a Joyetech Penguin several weeks ago because it was CHEAP... I'm really enjoying that for simplicity and 9ml capacity for "away from home".  I used it tonight on a 3 hour round-trip bike ride and sitting through 2 soccer games.  Back home with half a tank and still plenty of power left, too.

    Lately when I go for a bike ride I take a Subvod in my pocket that I carry upside down because of all the altitude changes around here, And a 160w dripbox in the sissy bar bag for extended stops. Dripbox has a 7ml bottle, and don't leak when changing altitude, don't even leak if it gets hot.

    I know I'm preaching to the choir here but I hope you don't mind being pushed for details on occasion.  This is probably selfish, but I have a pet peeve with the vaping industry.  I really don't like the exaggerated and unqualified specifications many manufacturers publish.  There are also dumb little things that these manufacturer's do that make me nuts.  One that makes me want to bang my head on a wall is when they drill a post for grub screw threading and continue to drill into the receiving or back portion of the post.  Being a temp control freak, I'm always relegated to small gauge wire.  When the back wall of a post is drilled the wire will be cut before the grub screw is tight.  UGGGG!  Really?  That just doubled the current draw on my mod. 

     

    Regardless, keep em comin! 

    What I do is to double the wire and twist it where it goes through the post, helps a lot when the hole is drilled all the way through. Only have one like that, and don't use it that much.
