I agree about both points about Audrey for sure. Austen is a beast but not much of a social game so far imo...I like Johnny Mack cause his reactions are just hilarious. That's really cool you played in the wsop and with her, she is very smart. Not sure I've picked an overall favorite yet, this season seems to be very good so far with the twists and all. We'll definitely need to get on here after the show on Sunday to discuss what happened and such!

As some of you know, I have been away from VT for awhile--life got in the way.  I Just looked at my signature/banner and was amazed by the numbers.  I just had to share it....shout it from the roof tops !
2,240 days without a cigarette,15,123 dollars saved and 67,216 cigarettes not smoked.  I think it's the 67,216 that floored me the most. 
no wonder I feel so much better !!!!
 
VT has been an invaluable, amazing, incredible, stupendous part of my journey for the last 6 years.  I can't even tell you how much I appreciate all of our members. Past, present and future. 

Anyone else watch it? I know there is a certain amount of "Anti Reality TV" sentiment on the board from prior conversations but I am hooked on Big Brother and Survivor. Have never missed a single episode of any season to date.
Anyway this is going to be an awesome season if anyone else watches it with the Takeover twist!

Playing on my computer enjoying a fresh tap beer and having a good ole time chucking some clouds. When all of a sudden I hear "HEY KNOCK IT OFF I CANT SEE WHAT IM DOING OVER HERE" Think I fogged out the wife lol she gotta ruin my fun

I'm not bashing the south just the prevalent attitude and I live in Knoxville possibly the most progressive city in the state. I was born and raised in Tennessee and have lived here 45 years and the extremes have gotten worse and worse. Maybe it's the same all over to an extent.
Dont get me wrong I love living here and would never consider moving anywhere north. I have passed many great economic opportunities because I would have to move north lol. It's just the vast majority of the people I know and work around are unable to accept anything or anyone that do not act or look like them. I mean in my smallish circle of friends and amongst the younger people it is different but amongst people my age I am definitely in the minority.
Then again I have an ACLU card and a NRA card in the same wallet so maybe I am the weird one for thinking everyone should be treated equally regardless of race or religion.

That sounds like Starbucks in LA and Denver. lol

I was just in Chicago last month on a work related trip.  I only saw one White Castle while I was there, but I wasn't actively looking for them either.  Dunkin Donuts, on the other hand, seemed to be on every street corner.  I could swear I walked out of a Dunkin Donuts, looked across the street and saw another Dunkin Donuts at one point.

all the info you need is right here ^^^ personally I recommend starting with a sub ohm tank setup like said above^^^ you can seriously injure yourself or others if you don't understand building and electricity in general...get a sub ohm tank and vape on that while studying electricity...then when you're confident with your knowledge then move to building rdas or whatever you desire.
 
Ps welcome to VT!

First, welcome to VT.  You've come to a great site.  There are a lot of friendly, knowledgeable people here that will be more than willing to help get you pointed in the right direction.  Just be forewarned - everybody's vaping experience is different, so you're likely to get a variety of different answers because so much of the vaping experience is purely subjective. 
There are lot of variables that factor into producing big clouds, including what each individual considers to be a "big cloud".  I'm only going to cover two or three of those variables because I know myself, and I tend to be over-descriptive. 
As I already mentioned, many things about vaping are subjective; "big clouds" are one of those things.  What I might consider to be a huge cloud very well be laughed at by people during a cloud competition (I'm not assuming you want "cloud comp" size clouds, I'm just using that as an example).  I have also talked to people at shops who thought they wanted big clouds when what they were really after were dense clouds.  I was actually one of those people at one time.  My personal "cloud" preference is dense.  I honestly don't care how big the cloud is.
Now, if go ahead and assume you are talking about "cloud comp" size clouds, then the main problem you are going to run into is the fact you are using an itaste mvp 20w.  Cloud comp size clouds typically require sub-ohm coils.  These days, a lot of the "cloud chasers" are building dual coils to .05 ohms and even lower in their rda's and they are using unregulated mech mods or box mods or the are using high wattage regulated devices.  If I recall correctly, the itaste mvp 20w only fires down to 1 ohm.  Does that mean you can't get big clouds with an itaste mvp 20w?  Not necessarily, but again, that depends entirely on what you consider to be a big cloud.
Higher VG content in your liquid is all but a guarantee that your clouds will be larger, even when vaping at 1 ohm or higher.  I vape anywhere from 50/50 PG/VG liquids to liquids that are over 90% VG.  For me, (and in theory, this should hold true for anybody), I know that if I go from my a 50/50 PG/VG liquid in my Lemo with a .7 coil to a 20/80 PG/VG liquid in the same tank with the same coil at the same wattage, my clouds are going to be bigger because the VG is essentially the "cloud" agent. 
Another factor is inhale technique.  A mouth-to-lung hit is less likely to produce as much vapor as a direct lung-hit.  Using the same set-up example and liquid blends from above, a 3 second direct lung hit with the 50/50 PG/VG liquid is not going to produce as much vapor as a 3 second direct lung hit with a 20/80 PG/VG liquid, but if I take a 7 second direct lung hit on the 50/50 liquid, I can get a comparable cloud to a 3 second direct lung hit on a 20/80 liquid. 
The best advice I can give right now is to take a look at a higher wattage device before you start diving into the world of RBA's.  Possibly take a look at some sub-ohm tanks.  There is a huge selection of affordable, quality regulated devices and a seemingly even bigger selection of sub-ohm tanks on the market that will help you get bigger clouds with the right setup.  That would be the right setup for you...not the right setup according to recommendations online or recommendations. 
I know I was long-winded, but I hope the info helps point you in the right direction.
 
 
 

I got a 120ml of lock rings and p.b. blaster and both are phenominal

Glad you like them...i am thorougly enjoying my steampunk juice as well.

Tried out steampunk vapor company and all I can say is wow...the flavor and ingredient quality is in line with all the top name premium juices...got 9 sample bottles at 5ml and three flavors I created...the ones I created will need some steeping obviously but are still VERY good...I'm kinda a juice snob and only like top shelf juices, I'm thoroughly impressed. Only have tried the 3 I created so far and am excited for the other 9 I selected off the juice list. Would recommend them to all vapors...they're extremely fair priced too.  

Funny that you post this today. I was just reading about it this morning but I don't remember where... 

I found this on My Vapor Store's page:

I have the older ipv3.  It has been a good mod.  I did the 165 watt upgrade when it came out.  It also has the door that is screwed on with 2 screws which is a pain.  The only things I see that might give trouble with this mod is the 510 connector.  They are very good, but if it is dropped with a heavy atty on it they can come loose and you will have to replace it with a Fat Daddys or Varitube one.  The original is just pressed in.
Here is the upgrate (upgrade) software:
Nevermind....It is acting weird and not posting my links...
 
 

let me know how you like it ccause I'm getting tired of my submini and unsure of what I should get next.

I hope I like it.  Rip Trippers gave it a great review, but said they should include the RDA.  I went ahead and bought it with the RDA, it is sitting at the post office.  I may go get it in a little bit.
I ordered the SauseCode too.  I am hoping it will be here before the weekend.  I want something that will allow a little larger nickel coil than the Subtank.  I am also looking for a bit more airflow.

Picked up a Silo Beast. I'm turning into a tank junkie. Also painted the iPV4. Silver was boring. Now sporting a sweet translucent orange.
I also got rid of the mirrored finish, buffed it out and sprayed it the same color.

Ya the troll is my second choice, kinda my everyday go too

Troll rda 

Picked up a troll RDA for $29 and my Simple Mod clone ($16 eBay) came in. Did a patina, striped the bottom and 4 coats a matte clear.

With a rebuildable, you get what you want, opposed to what the manufacturers want you to have.
 
For example, I prefer my RTA builds at 1.4 Ohm, and my RDA at 0.9 Ohm or 0.75 Ohm... cookie-cutter, mass-production builds don't hit what I want, and it seems the sub-ohm tank craze thinks everyone wants 0.2, 0.3, or 0.5 Ohm builds.  I've seen 0.8 Ohm cartridge coils, but from there, you get 1.0 or 1.2...  I've nothing against the cookie-cutter builds, per-se, but but I want full control sometimes... and my builds seem to last longer, too.
 
Rebuildables also allow us to configure the cotton (or whatever you're using) the way we like it, not a specified diameter, length, quality, etc.

​I think the Billow 2 has a longer chimney neck. Reviews of RTA's have shown that the shorter the chimney neck the better the flavor (of course taste is always subjective).

Thanks for the in depth review, been thinking about getting this setup.

Nice setup, my buddy has that and loves it...I'll be getting one also in the next couple weeks.

Welcome
