    What am I doing wrong? Tobeco Russian w/ XC 116 wick

    Based on the pictures, I agree with dice57, it looks like the coils are too tight around the wick. Even though it's not a cotton wick, it still needs some room to expand a bit. Too tight and it'll choke the wick and you'll end up with dry scratchy hits the entire time. I had the same issue with...

    E-Liquid/Juice Color

    Food Coloring can be made naturally or, much like motor oil, it can be synthetic and made in a lab and loaded with preservatives to keep it stable. You can do a search on Google for what natural food coloring is made of and then decide whether you want to vape it or not :). As an example, red...

    clone vs original- noticeable difference?

    You can grab the Nemsis magnets here, towards the bottom of the page. Search the page for "Nemesis Mechanical Mod Switch Magnet Upgrade" - $7.99. Same ones I'm using right now and they function 100% - no issues and no wobble. They hold up with the kick ring and a Smok Kick (I don't have an Evolv...

    oops while cleaning....

    Were these the stock Kanger heads or a generic brand? I've never had the Kanger heads crack and I can usually just tilt the stem to the right and left a little and wiggle it loose without the use of pliers. If you bought the generic heads (which a lot of B&M's sell), they may not be built to the...

    clone vs original- noticeable difference?

    Based on my purchase history, all I own are HCigar Clones where they're available. I've held and used Tobeco clones and I simply don't like them. They look and feel cheap to me and the chrome-plating look that they use on most of their clones is what gives it that feel. I've seen chrome plating...

    clone vs original- noticeable difference?

    The way I see it, clones are a good thing as they promote fair pricing in the industry. The Nemesis is the only mech I use and I think very highly of it due to the simplicity of the design and the feel of the mod in my hands. It's just comfortable and it fires when I press the button. I paid $40...

    clone vs original- noticeable difference?

    I've vaped on a real Nemesis and then on my HCigar Nemesis Clone and while there are subtle differences in the machining, there's nothing that would drive me to immediately say that the clone isn't worth using and that I need to buy the original right now to have a good vape. The button on a...

    Anti B&M

    You have to keep in mind that there's never going to be a "cheap" B&M that can honestly compete dollar for dollar with an online shop that has no storefront and can use a backroom for inventory (in most cases). B&M's have too many costs, i.e. overhead, to be able to reduce their profit margins...

    Capella's Vanilla Custard - Report from ABC Consulting & Testing (via Tom)

    The last bit in my previous post was aimed at Natures Flavors, since they only claim Diacetyl-Free and make no mention of the other two chemicals :). I'd like to see more information from NF as most diacetyl free flavorings contain the substitutes. I'm all for proper labeling and transparency...

    Capella's Vanilla Custard - Report from ABC Consulting & Testing (via Tom)

    I don't know how many of their flavors have it, but it is used in some of their creamier flavors from what Jake said. I'd imagine the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and White Chocolate have them, just because of what they are, but beyond those, I'm not sure which of the others use it as I've not had...

    Capella's Vanilla Custard - Report from ABC Consulting & Testing (via Tom)

    Acetoin and Acetyl Propionyl are common as substitutes for Diacetyl, especially given the negative publicity and potential harm concentrated doses of Diacetyl can do. Diacetyl is a well-known issue, but there are no concrete studies on any of the three and the effects of vaping flavors with them...

    Capella's Vanilla Custard - Report from ABC Consulting & Testing (via Tom)

    As far as Acetoin and Acetyl Propionyl, the alternatives to Diacetyl, the only way juice vendors are going to absolutely stop using flavors with those chemicals is to find cold, hard evidence that it's going to do damage comparable to or on the level that Diacetyl can or may - why? Look at how...

    OneOnOne Flavors - Flavor Percentages

    It's not bad, but nothing like Capella's. I'd say it's the exact opposite. It doesn't have the strong vanilla custard cream taste that Capella's does when it ages and it's pretty much clear. It's not my absolute favorite as I'm a huge fan of Capella's and use it for pretty much anything that...

    OneOnOne Flavors - Flavor Percentages

    Sweet Tart is one I vary with according to how much flavor I crave. I mix as low as 5% and as much as 10% (10% is pretty strong for this one - forewarning). After mixing, shake really well for about 30 seconds and then cap off steep/age for 24 hours, cap on for another 2-3 days. It needs a...

    USPS warning

    USPS is in so much trouble not just because of Congress, but how they work in general. You don't have to look far to see that their system is a bit flawed. They give away all of their supplies freely and then go through what was probably a multi-million dollar+ re-brand, effectively removing...

    USPS warning

    If they dropped a package that required a physical signature, skip the post office and contact the Postmaster direct through USPS.com. My last complaint of my packages being delivery at all hours of the day or not being carried with the postal worker when the mail runs (they would deliver mail...

    USPS warning

    This has always been the case with USPS, that's why they offer insurance at an added cost. They're not going to cover the cost of, say, $100 in merchandise shipped via First Class (their cheapest method) for the cost of a $2.50 or less stamp. This is why Flat Rate is really the only option if...

    Grant's Vanilla Custard

    Have you tried any other GC's? I've tried TFA, FlavorWest and OneOnOne. Just trying to find a comparison. Capella's has an excellent selection and I'll probably end up ordering it in the next week either way, just trying to see what options are out there :). Not much of a fudge brownie person...
