This is all really interesting...thanks so much for all of your replies, vaping is certainly not text book stuff is it!!!
The nice thing about vaping is it's elasticity, it's malleability -- if something isn't working for you, there are X, Y, Z alternatives available to help you dial in something that will work for you. Be it in the equipment, or even in the juice. And each device could give you a different experience with the same juice.
The worst thing is not being open to experimenting, not being willing to put into a little research or effort into making it work for you.
