Hey guys, I'm new here and just got the Brunhilde Top Coiler RTA and it's awesome! And it's surprisingly efficient with juice consumption as well, even with dual coil's it uses less juice than my other RTA with a single coil!
So this brings me to my question, I would like to start building my own coils for it to further decrease juice consumption and any help will be greatly appreciated!
I'm looking to build dual round wire coils with a final resistance reading around the range of .4ohm - .8ohms (higher the better) .
I'm choosing to go with Ni80 round wire for the little bit of faster ramp up times.
Any suggestions for what Gauge and amount of wraps I should use?
These tests below only note my personal opinion for the ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This can be one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. Never use them outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous discharge rating (CDR), never let it get colder than 0°C or hotter than 60°C, and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition. Never use a battery that is physically damaged in any way.
Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.
If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.
Test Results
This is the longest running ultra-high capacity 18650 I have tested so far. The full test report for the Vapcell N40 4000mAh 18650 will be posted tomorrow.
At 5A (about 15W) the F38 runs for a few percent longer, or a lot longer, than any other 18650. At 10A (about 30W) it outperforms by a little bit even the LG HJ2, Murata VTC6, and Molicel P28B. It also outperforms the Vapcell N36, especially at 10A.
The F38’s 10A rating seems reasonable and two cells delivered 3803mAh and 3832mAh in my capacity testing, just barely exceeding their 3800mAh rating. I recommend charging at 1A or lower, 0.5A preferred, since they got a bit warm even at 1A.
The F38 does not have a non-continuous rating and I recommend not using it at above 10A (about 30W) rating as there will be a lot of voltage sag. This is true for all cells though.
I do not know what their cycle life is but I cycled an F38 a few times at 15A pulsed*** with 2A charging and there was no sign of cell damage or accelerated aging.
I do not know who makes these yet but in my opinion it’s not Samsung, Murata, Panasonic, LG, or Molicel. I do not know who is stocking this cell or what its availability is.
***Do not go over this cell’s 10A rating! My 15A testing was done only as a check of how well this cell can handle abuse, to see if it was “fragile”.

I need a pulse v2 squonk bottle I have the bladders I need the metal pieces that go on the end of the silicone, there something wrough mine when i swounk it the bottle pushes out the bottom of the mod.
I’ve been vaping for quite a few years with my GeekVape Zeus kit, with the Zeus sub ohm tank at 6-9mg and wanted to purchase a secondary pod system MTL vape.
I’ve bought quite a few disposable systems and almost all of them have a better flavour profile/experience compared to my sub ohm tank. That’s why instead of wasting 8-9€ every few days I’ve decided to buy a pod system vape.
So far, I’ve come up to 5 devices that suit my needs (small and portable) and those are :
• Voopoo Drag 2 Nano
• Voopoo Argus P1
• Lost Vape NES red Pod Kit
• Aspire Gotex X
• Vapelustion Hannya Airtok
Which of these would you suggest for me to buy, or are there any similar or better choices bellow the 50€ mark?
Of course, disposables almost exclusively use salt nic and ice flavour characteristics, so when I’ll get my new pod system, I’ll mix my flavours at a 50VG-50PG, rather than 70VG-30VG, and use the according nic salt.
Hello, I stopped to buy an Elf Bar yesterday. I wasn't near my regular store, but was told the gas station/convenient store down the street sold them. I ended up with an almost identical vape called Ace Bar AB5000. It even tastes like my normal EBDesign bar. However, I can't find any information about Ace Bar i.e. the manufacturer, safety of/ingredients in the juice, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Dan
Hello and welcome. Today I will do my best to cover the Lost Vape Orion Bar OB5500 that was sent to me in a very nice limited edition gift box containing three different flavors along with lanyards and the boxes folded flat. These were sent to me by the Orion Bar representative in order to provide a fair and honest review. The OB5500 is a disposable unit that is rated for up to 5500 puffs while containing 14ml of E-liquid. The liquid they contain is 50mg and the OB5500 is auto draw only. It does however contain a sliding airflow control which is a nice touch whether it be a disposable or not. The battery contained inside is rated at 500mah and can be recharged using the USB-C charging port located on the bottom of the device.

1 EA ORION BAR OB5500
FEATURES:
5500 Puffs Approx.
E-liquid Capacity: 14ml
Draw Activated Firing Mechanism

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the package from Orion Bar and discovered that I had been sent a special edition gift box. I am one of those people that really likes nice packaging and this one is really very nice. The box is very colorful and really grabs your attention. It has the Lost Vape name in multi colored lettering on the front as well as the words Disposable Device underneath. I was a little surprised that it didn’t say Orion Bar on the outside though.
Once opened, inside I found three of the Orion Bar OB5500 disposable devices wrapped in plastic sealed pouches along with the boxes that the OB5500’s would normally come in when purchased. Also in the gift box was a very colorful lanyard that has a loop on the end to go around an OB5500. At first I thought the small round object in the box was a pin that you could attach to a hat or something but in fact it is what I call a pop socket that can be attached to a phone or other device to assist in holding the device. Very thoughtful of them to include that.
Now that you’ve seen what I received for the review, let’s take a look at what you can actually expect if you decide to purchase some of the OB5500 disposables. They will come in a cardboard box with just the device inside sealed in a plastic pouch. The front of the box has a nice color picture of the actual device contained inside and states the flavor of the liquid in the device. There is a large warning on both the front and back which I am guessing is required by the U.S. market or it wouldn’t be there. It is nice that there is an ingredients list on the back side of the box. Both sides of the box list the liquid flavor which is 50mg strength nicotine salts and one side give a list of specifications for the OB5500 and lets the user know that it is 5% nicotine which means it is 50mg per ml concentration. I personally have not been a fan of nicotine salts but can see where it is beneficial in this type of device which is targeted at helping smokers make the switch from smoking to vaping.
The OB5500 has a colorful body with a clear plastic covering the design underneath. Both sides have a picture of what looks like a person in a gas mask and the flavor is stated also on both sides. One side does have the added branding of the Lost Vape name and the OB 5500 inside a rectangle. Once removed from the pouch, each one has a rubber stopper in the ergonomic mouthpiece to prevent any debris from entering. This could be saved for use when pocket carrying if you wanted to but I pocket carried these one at a time at work and had no issue getting anything in the mouthpiece. They are very lightweight and hardly noticeable when pocket carrying.
Also when first opened there is a silver sticker on the bottom of the device that blocks airflow and must be removed before use. On the bottom is where you will find the USB-C charging port as well as a sliding airflow control. I always prefer any device to have adjustable airflow and was very happy to find out that the feature is included on these. To the right of the charging port for the 500mah battery is a single light indicator. It turns on when taking a draw but goes out quickly so it is a little hard to see it while using the device. It also illuminates when charging the battery and goes out when fully charged. I will say that despite the battery only being 500mah, it seemed to last a long time while using the included 1.0 ohm mesh coil built into the OB5500. I did connect it in line with my Klein USB tester and it was pulling .57 amps while charging initially and it seemed to drop from there and level out around .38 amps. The OB5500 cannot be used while charging so if this is your only device then I would recommend getting two of them so you can use one while the other is charging.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I had previously reviewed the 7500 version of the Orion Bar and did like some of the samples that I received but felt like they had too much menthol for my tastes. This seems to be a trend across many different manufacturers of disposables that I have tested. I was hoping that the OB5500 would be a little different. I was not disappointed. The menthol in each was definitely less strong than what I remembered from my past experience.
You have to keep in mind that tastes are subjective and vary from person to person but here is what I thought of each of the three flavors that I received.
TRIPLE BERRY: This one sounded like something I might like so decided to try it first. I get the taste of dark berries mostly but there is an off taste to it that reminds me of a recipe that I mixed once that had too much cactus flavor added to it and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Due to that taste, this one got the least amount of use during my testing. It did have some menthol but was not offensive and was able to take consecutive puffs without it hurting my throat like some disposables that I have tried.
STRAWBERRY WATERMELON: I’ve never been much of a watermelon flavor person when it comes to vaping but I have to say that I really enjoyed this one and it quickly became my favorite of the three. It has a little more menthol than the first one I tried but the flavor is very good. I get mostly watermelon from this one but can tell that there is some strawberry in it. This one got the most use but I did not finish any of the three during my testing.
KIWI BERRY: This one was a close runner up to the Strawberry Watermelon. I get mostly dark berry flavor with a little kiwi in the background. It’s honestly a flavor combination that I wouldn’t think of to mix myself. It has about the same amount of menthol as the Strawberry but once again is not offensive. All three seem to use the same sweetener and all three are more of a candy type flavor as opposed to being an authentic fruit flavor. The candy fruit flavor along with the sweetener seems to linger on the lips for a while after stopping use.
So, there it is. I have never been a regular disposable user but have tested a handful of different ones and would say that these are definitely in the top two of the ones I’ve tried. The 500mah battery combined with the 1.0 ohm mesh coil provides good flavor with a decent amount of vapor while lasting what seems like a long time between charges to me. I did do a little chain vaping with these to help test the strength of the menthol and they delivered flavorful vapor without any dry hits. However, with the 14ml of liquid inside being 50mg, I could not chain vape them as long as I would an rta or rda that I was testing. It’s just too much nicotine for me after a while. I didn’t get a noticeable throat hit despite the strength. On a device like this I prefer a loose MTL type draw and was able to get that easily with the sliding airflow control located on the bottom. Overall I can definitely see these helping to get smokers to make the switch to vaping.
I would like to thank Lost Vape and Jason for sending the Orion Bar OB5500 gift box set for my review. As always, thank you to the readers. I appreciate your time reading my reviews. Below is a link to the website if you’d like to take a look for yourself.
These tests below only note my personal opinion for the ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This can be one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.
Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. Never use them outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk.

Test Results
It’s a pretty good performer. At 5A it equaled the Molicel M35A and almost matched the LG MJ1, Samsung 30Q6, and Samsung 35E3. If you can find this cell at a lower price than those others, or the others are out of stock, it might be worth considering this cell.
Its 8A rating seems appropriate. While it didn’t show signs of a lot of stress even at 10A continuous this cell, like all ultra-high capacity cells, performs best at a decent amount under its rating. It did get too hot at 10A though. I recommend staying under 5A (15W). Its extra capacity won’t really by available unless you’re down around 3A (10W) or lower.
This is the classic tradeoff. You can have lots of capacity but usually only with a lower current rating. Or you can have a good current rating but usually only if you sacrifice some capacity.
You can pulse it at its 15A ”max” rating but you will get lots of voltage sag as this is significantly above its continuous rating. Do not run it continuously at 15A and keep the cell under 60°C at all times.
The two cells I tested delivered 3673mAh and 3682mAh. This is great consistency and (barely) meets their 3650mAh capacity rating. There might be some N36 cells that are under 3650mAh but probably not by much and the rating seems reasonable.

Quick question why does some of my coils give me a nice crackle sound and some coils do not?
Im using vandy vape alien coils atm with no crackle at all, i was using just regular fused claptons wotofo before it and that had a ton of nice crackling how come this new alien does not?
It does taste alot better but i miss the sound :/
Does it mean its a bad coil?
So personally don't care for disposables think there a waist but I've tried to like them cause seems that's what we ARe headed toward but hate ice and methol or that cool hit and it seems like if you get just grape it's gonna be on ice or with That hit I don't understand the purpose in this
Hello!
does anyone have an answer to this question?
are you allowed with mod, 18650 battery, rta, nicotine liquid, wire pliers, cotton scissors on the plane?
obviously I don't vape on the plane, I just want to get to the other side with them...
do I put them in my hand luggage? in the hold? in the pocket?
Thanks for the reply!
A few people helped me before so thanks! They changed the rules in New Zealand again and I could only get this bottle of 30 ml. It looks like 50 mg of nicotine in the 30 ml bottle.
I use 18 mg. nicotine for my vape and I have no idea how to mix it. I generally throw in some VG with my PG, but at this point it seems so complicated I could use just PG to mix.
Can anyone help? I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks out to Darren aka @JetZ from FLAVRZ for sending these out for the purposes of these reviews.
All Flavor Shots, and One Shots were mixed at 25%, and in a 70v/30p/3mg carrier. All steeped for a t least 1.5 weeks before testing. All were tested on the SteamCrave RDTA v.1 running dual 24 ga. Kanthal vertical coils, which were dry burned before every test, including fresh KGD cotton.
There seems, or seemed to be some confusion as to exactly what Flavor-Shots were, and/or how they were different from One-Shots. Basically, a Flavor-Shot from FLAVRZ is a One-Shot, in a BIGGER BOTTLE. Hehe, there you go, mystery solved. This means, if you buy a FLAVRZ One-Shot, YOU provide YOUR bottle, add the PG, VG, NIC and enjoy. With the Flavor-Shots, you use THEIR bottle, and add the PG, VG, NIC and enjoy. You actually get 60ml of flavor, in a 200ml bottle, and it you top it off with PG, VG, and NIC up to the shoulder of the bottle, it is mixed at 30% flavor.
NOW, if you DO use the 200ml bottle, you HAVE made a commitment, and will be using a lot of carriers and NIC to set it up, SO, it's better to make SURE you love the flavor beforehand. No sense in topping off a big 200ml bottle only to find out you DON'T like the flavor !!!!
I didn't need to mix up 200ml samples for testing/reviews, so I just found what @JetZ posted about the suggested percentages ...
> 30-40% for Pod Systems
> 20-30%f for MTL & DTL
> 15-20 for RTA and RDA
..... and I settled on 25% for ALL of my Flavor-Shot, and One-Shot tests, to have a level playing field. ALL were tested at 25%, in a 70v/30p/3mg NIC carrier, and steeped for 1 week before testing. As you MAY have guessed, all tested on the SteamCrave RDTA v1., with dual verts, 24 ga. Kanthal, with fresh cotton before every test. All tested at 65 watts.
Darren made up a blank slate recipe where you can adjust your percentage of flavor, size, and NIC if you need it. Obviously you would need to adjust it, as it defaults to 1L of juice.
**Blue Slushie (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (7-30-23)** -- Welcome to the FIRST FLAVRZ Flavor Shot. (Cooling Agent Alert) !!!! Yeah, I figured it would be, it's a "Slushie", so I'll have to keep my disdain for "coolers" in check. There WAS cooling present, and it wasn't overbearing, and added a touch of "cool" but with no menthol, or minty aftertastes. Being a huge NON user of cooling, I felt like it still imparted something to the mix taste-wise but it was hard to determine. Possibly a little dryness, but only minor. The main notes were as advertised on the FLAVRZ site, a Blue Raspberry, and a Fruit Medley, billed as Forrest Fruit.
The two main profiles were fairly evenly matched, but the Blue Raspberry took the lead. I mixed this at 25% which was below the standard 30%, when filling/using the provided 200ml bottle. It was pretty full, and felt like it could have benefited from the 5% boost. Still very good, and the BRB had a nice hit of sour on the finish. Sweetness was actually just at mid-level, and it felt matched to the profile(s). The berry medley (forest fruit) was an interesting carrier, which rode JUST below the BRB, and tempered it to a degree, but made it much more than a simple BRB alone. At times, I thought I almost got a little cotton candy in the mix. At this testing weight, beyond the slight kick that the cooling agent delivered, I didn't get any off-notes, and about the only minor gripe would be THE cooling LOL, but, again, it's a "Slushie" so ... you'll have to temper my review and scoring accordingly. All in, it was a great BRB with a Forrest Fruit carrier, and just a hint of cotton candy, with a light cooling effect. It felt very good and blue @ **9.0/10**.
**Chocolate Milk (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-1-23)** -- Smooth, creamy, and chocolate-y were the big take-aways on this flavor. While having not tested many chocolate milks, I have drank them from time to time. The REAL stand out here, was the chocolate. Chocolate Milk has a very specific type of chocolate, and I was very surprised to see they nailed it, almost spot on. Granted it is simply a cocoa flavor, I've not had very many get this close that I can remember. Hyper accurate with this flavor. The Milk was also done VERY well, and despite it not tasting like a fresh, cold glass of Whole Milk, it wasn't supposed to, as it was a Choco Milk. The cocoa took front stage, and without apology, but the creamy elements were busy swirling around, JUST beneath it, and although you couldn't always taste them exactly, their presence was very clearly there. Creamy, smooth, and almost silky at times. Sweetness was JUST above mid-level which was in keeping with all good CM's. No off-notes, and it was damned delicious and present at 25%. I had blown through three full tanks before I knew it, STILL looking for at least ONE nit-pick, and I came up short. I had thought surely I would find at least some mis-directing notes like vanilla or a whiff of BA, but I couldn't, and didn't. What's hard to fully explain is how it was not a choco cream, creamy chocolate, which would have defined a heavier, denser choco note, but it stayed very truly, a Chocolate Milk. An impressive feat. I got no scorching from the Cocoa at 65 watts, which I HAD from some other Cocoa flavors. Rich, creamy, and delicious. Digging in deeper, I think the ONLY thing I would change, would be to enhance the Milk notes JUST a smidge, and I mean JUST a smidge, but even that, was about all I could muster. If you like, love, or want a chocolate milk, I'm sorry, but you'll have to ADD this one to the cart. Just almost perfect, and rating it high @ **9.9/10**.
**Eat the Rainbow (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-3-23)** -- Ok, I went into this one thinking explicitly ONE thing, and the moment I tasted it, EVERYTHING changed. I had assumed rainbow sherbet, or a Skittles citrus, but NO, hehe. Wow, what a great surprise this one one. Now, being from the US, I'd never heard of Paddle Pops before, but apparently EVERYONE in Australia (and more) know about them. Now when I started testing, and did NOT get anything "rainbow" I had to do some more research. Apparently more than a few were upset when it's flavor profile was finally revealed (it was on the label all along)
OK, what did it taste like ?? !!!! I can't think of a direct American comparison. It wasn't ice creamy per se, nor a Sorbet, or Soft Serve, and maybe the only desperate similar taste MIGHT be in the ballpark of an Dreamsicle WITHOUT the Orange. But even that isn't 100% accurate, but the ice cream center of it still more ice creamy, BUT you're heading in the right direction. A very good, creamy, creamery center with some other partially obscure notes swirling around. As per the "Big Reveal" it did present as a mix of Caramel and Toffee-ish-ness. What's interesting is normally Caramel is instantly identifiable but here, it wasn't, and maybe it was the Toffee notes, perfectly paired, AND, skillfully layered in WITH the creamy main note that made it a lot harder to identify. It was EASY to enjoy, and I couldn't stop enjoying it. For you Aussies, I've heard, this is SPOT ON for a Paddle Pop. For you Americans (and others), it's damned delicious. At 25% (5% below the recommended Flavor Shot rate), it was very good, with NO off-notes. Sweetness was nicely done at about mid-level, which is fine for a desert. I truly wish I HAD eaten a Paddle Pop so I could directly compare, but I have not. Scoring this will be more complicated because of that. All in, it was hard to put down, and my best hope of comparison would be a Dream Bar center, with a delicious mix of Caramel and Toffee that were NOT toppings, but completely infused into the creamery. I'm going to go out on a limb here, while NOT being able to directly compare to the real treat, and rate this VERY high. Dare I say, "Release The Kraken" and slam it, with a **10/10**. I can ONLY hope, that some Aussies, can get in on this, and help us with the direct comparison.
**Lemon Tart (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-4-23)** -- Having tested FLAVRZ Lemon Tart flavor not long ago, I was curious to see if, or what the differences were from the "finished" Flavor Shot version.
**Lemon Tart (FLAVRZ) 5% / 8% (4-30-23)** – Following on the heels of the FLAVRZ Lemonade, I was wondering IF this was/were the same Lemon profile(s) in this one as well. Possibly. If not, then they were very similar. As with many others, I started out at 5%, and felt it would be better at 8%, and it was. The Lemon was bright, and punchy with some sweet and tart which allowed it to punch through. There was a carrier that the lemon was riding on, but it wasn’t 100% clear what is was, maybe a pudding-like element, maybe a lighter custard, or even a light curd, but unsure. There was a light crust element, and I couldn’t detect any graham, but I did detect a lighter biscuit, so it tasted like a flour based crust. I couldn’t detect any meringue, which left if much more in the “tart” region than a LMP, As a whole, it really worked, and it was pretty (not completely) unique in the tart realm. There was an almost Lemon Zest sprinkled on the top that gave it just a little more ZING. Sweetness was just above mid level, and even at the higher weight, there were no off-notes, and no real nit-picks. At first, I was unsure was the crust was very light, and I felt like it needed more, BUT, 3 testers later, it actually felt great the way it was, WITH the ability to crust boost if needed, or not. All in, a very fresh, Lemon Tart with a nice smooth pudding/curd center, topped with a bright, punchy Lemon Zest. Too good, to NOT mark this one high, and it felt tight at **9.5/10**.
.... with the most notable difference was that this, the Flavor Shot had a great deal more crust, and the Meringue was now present. Other than that, they were almost identical. I won't bore you repeating the full LT flavor review again, but needless to say, this one WAS a little bit better, 0.15 better. The increased, crust, and present meringue pushed it up to a **9.65/10**.
**Mulberry Mess (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-4-23)** -- Some flavors take a bit to break in, so I've learned to not ALWAYS expect everything, right away. This one however, was BANGIN' right out of the gate. I got some very delicious darker berry notes, which although not Mulberry specific, could pass as them. The REAL surprise was a super delicious creamy carrier. I had assumed this was going to be simple darker fruits, but NO, the creamy carrier was really driving this one into unexpected territory. I checked the FLAVRZ site, but Darren said it wasn't loaded up on the site yet, but verified some things about this flavor. There were damned fine hints of a vanilla on the finish, and it peeked in and out throughout, but really revealed itself on the finish. The Mulberry (dark berries) started RIGHT away on top, then at the mid-point, decreased to an even pairing with the vanilla creamy-ness, and on the finish, the berries subsided, and let the vanilla peek through more. Wow, shape shifting flavor shot here people.
The berry focus while not 100% Mulberry focused (IMO), was very good, natural, and had enough POP, to ride above the vanilla creamy notes for alot of the experience. Sweetness was about mid-level, and I looked far and wide to find something to nitpick on this one, and (again), could not. About my only "want" would have been a little more focus on the darker berries, but that was a minor nit-pick, at best. I have eaten them, but trying to exactly describe, or replicate it can be next to impossible. After talking to Darren, and after finishing the THIRD tester, it did appear as if the vanilla creamery did favor a great ice cream. The pairing and ratio of the Berries to Ice Cream was done very skillfully, and having one profile take the lead, then shift to evenly paired, to somewhat recessed, kept this one a BLAST to test. I think it's going on the "Getta Bigga Bottle" list for me. NOW, scoring wise, I will have to knock it down just a bit, because I wasn't 100% on the Mulberry-ness, but that's it. I would 10/10 it, just because it was that tasty, BUT, this is a review, so I feel good officially scoring it at a **9.3/10**.
**Pastel de Nata (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-6-23)** -- Wait, Pastel de what ??. De NATA !!!!! I've had egg custard tarts before, but I had never heard of this name before. Custards and pastry combined ?? !!!! Yes please. Yes, this one WAS yet another great one, and depending on your love for Custards/Tarts/Bakeries, you may feel the same way. From the bottom up, there was a persistent crust/bakery note throughout, but it remained somewhat lower in the mix, and that was JUST fine with me, as it allowed the Custard to run roughshod over this Flavor Shot, and it DID it well. The custard was extremely well balanced, with a typical eggy custard, and what tasted like a bright pinch of lemon on the finish. Overall the custard while eggy, wasn't over-egged, and proved to be JUST eggy enough, tempered by a thick creamy mid note that road all the way till the end, where the kiss of lemon finished it off. The custard was hard to exactly compare to others, but the best I could come up with was a pairing of CAP's VC1, and FLV's Vanilla Pudding. It had a great overall mouthfeel, and the pinch of lemon on the finish ended it cleanly. At 25% it was very good, rich, and full, with no off-notes to speak of. I didn't pick up on any cinnamon, or burnt notes, but it was too rich, and delicious to miss them. All in, a great creamy custard, with hints of vanilla, and lemon, on a light crust note, and with an egg level that wouldl probably satisfy most of the diehard VC'ers out there. Sweetness was at about mid-level, which seemed appropriate for a desert/tart. Yet another one, that was hard to put down. It wasn't perfect, but that didn't prevent me from being able to exactly explain why. Finishing up the third tester, and leaving this one very high @ a **9.4/10**.
**Raspberry Jam Toast (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (6-8-23)** -- Typically (basically always) I never read ANY other reviews of a flavor/one-shot BEFORE I test it, because I want MY reaction(s), not tainted by anyone else's. NOW, in THIS case, hehe, I did. @Gazza7 has been doing some [BANG UP reviews](https://t.ly/Y0yEZ) of some FLAVRZ flavors, and flavor-shots, and I liked reading them, and he DID review this one, SO, let's get it on !!!!! Was this a clone of Jam Monster ?? Who's to say, but I'll call it "similar". The Raspberry notes were very good, and tasted fairly natural, and had some nice juicy-ness, and jammy-ness to it. Not completely jammy, but enough so you got the point. The buttery-ness was in there, and not in an overpowering way, and seeing as though all FLAVRZ flavors are DAAP, it was an impressive buttery-ness at that. Not as heavy or thick like CAP Golden Butter, BUT, it still worked.
Now, onto the "TOAST" that my friend Gazza mentioned. I think most of us know that the "toast" from CAP's was simply a combination of OOO Honey Puff, and CAP Cereal 27. Now those two didn't entirely SELL the whole "toast" thing, but it was in the ballpark, and it got you close enough. I don't know what flavors FLAVRZ used for the toast here, and it was similar to the CAP version. Not entirely toasty, BUT, it added a "similar" effect, and it worked about as good. If any of you REALLY want a TOAST, stop screwing around, and get some Solub Arome Breakfast. You can thank me later for that. At 25% which WAS 5% below FLAVRZ's recommendation it was very full, and sweetness was just below mid-level, and I didn't detect any squirrel-y notes to complain about. The lack of a totally convincing "toast" was expected, and I won't mark it down heavily for that, but that would be about the only nit-pick. All in, it wasn't a bad showing, and the Raspberry was just jammy enough, and the "toast" elements carried their weight just fine, but not stellar-ly so. I'll push it up a little higher than my friend Gazza did, and stick it at about a **9.0/10**.
**Redskins (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-6-23)** -- It's safe to say that I have NEVER eaten Redskins candy. I was also just made aware of a controversial decision regarding it's name, but we'll skip past that. This one presented as a very unique Raspberry candy, that had a great candy undertone, which was almost taffy-like. The Raspberry wasn't a pure RB, but felt like it was paired up with a Yumberry if you've ever tried that flavor from Real Flavors. A very unique pairing, and super tasty. Sweetness was a few ticks above mid-level, which seemed fine for a candy, and there were some nice tart notes in there, mostly on the finish that helped it pop, and keep it more interesting. The candy base / taffy was very accurate, and believable in this flavor shot. The two main profiles (RB and candy/taffy base) were evenly paired so you got just enough of each, but not too much of either. While not an overly complex flavor, it stayed punchy and fresh tasting throughout 3 testers. At about the third tester, I started to think I was maybe getting some cotton candy undertones, mixed in with the candy / taffy base. Off the finger, the berries tasted like their MIGHT have been some florals, but there were NONE throughout my tests. While not being able to directly compare to the candy, this one was a great bright, Raspberry (with Yumberry) pairing, riding on a authentic candy/taffy base, with subtle cotton candy notes. It felt good at **9.1/10**. If any Aussies out there try this flavor, and have eaten Redskins, post up your thoughts !!!
**Zenergy (FLAVRZ) (Flavor Shot) 25% (8-11-23)** -- Let's start out this, the LAST Flavor Shot in this series from FLAVRZ with THE, disclaimer. I don't do Energy Drinks. If espresso/coffee doesn't do it, I don't need it LOL. SO, with THAT said, let's get into it. As you no can assume, I have nothing to directly compare this to so, hehe, all I can tell you is what it DID taste like. Because it was NOT in my wheelhouse, it would have been easy to just test half a tester, and call it a day, BUT, these reviews are for you guys too, not just me anymore. So, My main two profiles that I seemed to get from this one was an almost sweetened cherry with light strawberry undertones, and a multi-vitamin. Yup, there you go. I did also detect some light cooling, and I couldn't be sure if it was intentional, or by virtue of the compounds used (which was the case with FLAVRZ Cookies and Cream). When I say multi-vitamin, I mean, just like it sounds, with an almost grainy-ness to it, with the taste of a (you guessed it) multi-vitamin. NOW, would I ever BUY this one, or use it ?? Hehe, probably not, BUT, I'm in the "I don't use energy drinks" camp, so keep that in mind. At 25% it was very full, and it actually wasn't a bad flavor, no off-notes, unless you don't like vitamins that is, hehe. The cooling effect was very light, and mostly on the finish, and the sweetness levels were just about mid-level.
Sweetened cherry, undertones of strawberry, and a multi-vitamin is what this was. NOW, although it really wasn't really MY kinda flavor, it did make me wish (or wonder if) FLAVRZ had, or could have the underlying cherry/strawberry, BUT, without the vitamins. Hmmm, that I might get some use out of. I've heard some comparisons of (some) energy drinks having medicinal qualities in the actual drinks, this flavor did NOT present that way. If it had, I wouldn't have made it through 3 testers. All in, if you ARE an Energy Drinker, this one might be RIGHT up your alley. Scoring this, hehe, will be tough, because I don't drink them, nor can I compare this one TO any energy drinks, AND, the profile wasn't really in my wheelhouse. Going off pure speculation, I will have to leave it at about a **8.5/10**, which seems/ed fair, given the circumstances. Sometimes, you JUST have to test things that might NOT be in your wheelhouse, as you never know.
Hey everyone, ive just joined obviously and new to vaping been about a month and a bit. Havent had a smoke since which im happy about. Ive jumped head first in the pool n brought a single voopoo m100s with a geekvape z nano 2 n then got a odin v2 and a kylin3 n started building and im lovin it got a whole bunch of stuff now also got a steamcrave meson rta on the way. Im just curious on what ppls thoughts are on a decent rta for a rdl about 30 to 50w single build and what are ppls coils of choice for that sort of vape i feel full dl isnt really needed for that wattage and single coils and dont really mtl even the z nano2 with a .6 in it isnt a mtl really. I currently have tri fused clapton 3id 3-26/36 which i added a wrap too for the kylin and it sits a .25 which i vape at about 40w with the air half opened on the kylin3. Is that too low a wattage to most ppl? I can go down to 30 35 and it still tastes just as good but i can go up to 55 the taste and vape feels sooo close it feels like its just the time of the draw n time to heat that changes lol. Any1 have any tips for me and does anyone have any suggestions on a nice tank or is the steamcrave meson gonna be a good choice for my needs??? I live in Australia btw if anyone has anything they can suggest or sellers ect. Also getting rid of the VOOPOO M100S for anyone that wants 1 as i got the odin and a thelema solo now. Its a month old as of this moment n has a recipt and warrenty still perfect.

► Aspire Proteus Neo; First Impressions:
The idea of combining a vaporizer with a hookah container is not new as many reviewers say, in reality the project for such a combination dates back to 2015 again by Aspire which has always proved to be an innovator in the world of Vape. After almost 9 years, the "Proteus" project appears to have improved in several aspects, both technical and stylistic. In the image below you can easily understand the gigantic dimensions of this new device which is compared to a common dual battery kit.
The device that was sent to me for testing is green in colour; green as my hope everything is working fine. The large cylindrical body of Proteus Neo is covered with a rubbery layer with texture of vertical lines, the rubbery surface offers a pleasant tactile feedback, however the device will not have to be handled for a long time to be used, it will simply have to be positioned at the top than a common Hookah.
Aspire Proteus Neo E-Hookah is powered by a huge built-in 5700mAh battery that is rechargeable through a USB Type-C 2A port. There are no activation buttons on the Proteus Neo body because its operation is 100% automatic. Above the charging port is the Aspire logo. The word Aspire together with its perimeter lights up during use, in fact this is a signaling LED in all respects and works as follows:
• When inserting or removing the Tank, the LED light flashes white
• Red light; Charge between 0-30%. The battery level is shown during activation and during charging.
• Blue light; Charge between 30-60%. The battery level is shown during activation and during charging.
• Green light; Charge between 60-100%. The battery level is shown during activation and during charging.
• When the device has reached 100% charge you can unplug the power cord and the LED light will flash green 3 times
The ASP chipset offers all the necessary measures for a safe vape:
• Over-time protection (8s): The LED light flashes red and blue 10 times and the device turns off
• Short circuit protection: The LED light flashes red and blue 3 times and the device stops dispensing
• Low voltage protection: The LED light flashes red 15 times
• Overcharge protection: When the device reaches 100% charge the light flashes green 20 times
• Overheat protection: The LED light stays yellow for 3 seconds and the device turns off
• Over voltage protection: When the charge is abnormal, the device stops delivering
Examining the upper part of Proteus Neo I expected to find a common Drip Tip in the center of the tank, in reality I found myself in front of an adjustable and raised airflow control system. Then you can adjust the two slots by turning the wheel either to the right or to the left. I could also use the device as if it were a mug of beer... However this is not the best way to use the Proteus Neo.
The tank offers an impressive 25ml capacity with a convenient top fill system. The filling hole is protected by a silicone grommet. Aspire recommends carrying out the filling operations by detaching the Tank from the Mod, however I must admit that most of the time I fill the tank leaving it positioned on the mod, I see no contraindications in doing this. You don't have to fill the tank completely, you can add even just a few ml of liquid to the tank and you won't run the risk of dry shots. When you change fluid you can wash the tank by removing the coil.
The pod compartment has inside a metal ring held in place by 4 screws, the metal ring offers the necessary magnetism to firmly hold the tank in the correct position. In the center there are the two contact pins, while the sensor for the automatic puff is well hidden, protected from condensation. The huge 25ml tank features 4 strong magnets, and comes with a sticker placed on the coil to prevent accidental activation during storage before purchase. Of course the adhesive must be removed before using the Proteus Neo for the first time.
The Proteus Neo Meshed Coil 0.17Ω (Pre-installed) fits into the Tank with a simple pressure, the maximum power that Proteus Neo can reach with this coil is approximately 80W. Currently this is the only coil available for Proteus Neo. Aspire recommends the use of VG-PG 70/30 E-liquid for this Coil.
A necessary expedient is to occasionally clean the compartment/tank from possible condensate residues, the operation is easy and quick considering the enormous space available for effectively rubbing the absorbent cloth.
In the Proteus Neo package there are two rubber fittings having different sizes to adapt perfectly to most of the Hookah Kits available on the market. In the lower part of Proteus Neo you can insert one of these adapters depending on the type of Hookah you will use.
In order to carry out this test, I bought a Hookah Kit. If you don't have a Hookah available, you can contact me and I'll tell you exactly which Hookah I bought.
► Aspire Proteus Neo; Vaping Test & Final Conclusions:
For this Test I used one of my favorite E-liquids; TOB Tropical VG-PG 70-30 with 3mg/ml of Nic. The first question that naturally arose to ask myself was this; but how will the steam come out of the almost 180 cm pipe of my hookah? The second question was; but will the taste be good? I can say that the result was far above my highest expectations ... Incredibly, the amount of vapor that comes out of this long tube is more than abundant and the flavor is absolutely in line with the average of pre-made head vaporizers that I usually use DL/RDL for vaping. Aspire Proteus Neo offers the right balance between flavor and vapor production. Certainly the steam after such a long journey does not arrive hot in the mouth, it arrives rather cold, however for some this could even be another point in favor of Proteus Neo. The air regulation system is usable without interrupting the vape and can be adjusted wide for DL, but also narrow enough to achieve a contrasted RDL hit. The huge 5,700Mah battery manages the 80W of power for a long time, allowing you to spend pleasant evenings in the company of friends or with your family. With this new device you will be able to immerse yourself in its immense clouds of vapor and you will be able to enjoy an experience very similar to that of traditional hookahs. Aspire Proteus Neo E-Hookah will transport you to the discovery of the e-Hookah, have fun!
I would like to thank Aspire for providing me with the kit. I hope this review has been helpful for anyone looking to purchase the Proteus Neo.
The Aspire Proteus Neo E-Hookah Head offers a portable hookah experience with the optimal meshed coil, adjustable airflow, 25ml e-liquid capacity, and fast charging. It features a draw-activated system and comes in various colors. Safety protections are provided by the Aspire ASP Chipset.
