    Cartotank Newbie - Point me in the right direction

    I bought the 22mm XL tank from IBTanked, and I love it. I'm still undecided between the Fusion and Platinum cartos from Ikenvape. Both are quality cartos, though there is a learning curve to priming them. Check out Baditude's blog post on priming them. He's a good dude, and he has helped me...

    IKV to set US Liquid line.Creativity Welcome!

    Okay, so what I'd really love to see is an Elderberry Jelly with Philadelphia Cream Cheese flavor. My grandmother used to make elderberry jelly and we would typically eat it on toast with Philly cream cheese. The elderberry jelly has to be sweet, though, and I can typically tell if a juice is...

    Lung hits

    I typically vape at 1.8% nicotine strength, but when I set up a RDA just right and want to do monster hits with sick plumes, I've got to drop down to .6% nicotine strength or I'll trash my throat and get wicked nasty hits. I also tend to go with at least 50% VG normally, but that, too, seems...

    Is the Z-Atty Pro still a contender for Provari users?

    ...or are there Genesis style atomizers out there right now that are significantly better in build, user friendliness, and cost effectiveness?

    The "Spin E" coil sure is coil E & wind E

    So... Rather than go straight to a quad on the Trident, I used 32 gauge Kanthal and made two coils with 10 wraps each totaling out at 1.3 Ohms. I used Organic Cotton looped underneath both coils. I'm vaping at 4.0 Volts, and it's sputtering like a mother... It's weird not bothering to put a...

    The "Spin E" coil sure is coil E & wind E

    Holy crap! Somebody, somewhere, suggested using the thin blunt needle of a bottle top to wrap a coil, so I gave it a shot with 32 gauge Kanthal wrapped super close...then I broke open an organic cotton round and used that for the wick - not inside the coil, but underneath it. The coil came out...

    best strawberry juice?

    Merango was my first strawberry vape; so far, nothing else has compared. It's really good. As indicated, it's not too sweet or heavy and fairly realistic. I love the vapor production, though, and it does have a decent throat hit. Merango, along with Vanda (vanilla cream/custard), are my two...

    IKV atomizer questions

    By the way, not only does chain dripping reduce the lifespan of the atomizer, but if I'm gonna chain vape, I'd just as soon not drip. I see disposable drip atomizers as being more for testing juice, and that's another way that I differentiate between disposables and rebuildables. I test...

    IKV atomizer questions

    I'm guilty, too...but that's what rebuildable drip atomizers are for! Another piece of advice, though it's a bit off subject, is to get a drip shield or three...disposable drip atomizers can drip like crazy, and I get nic juice on my skin way too much as it is!

    IKV atomizer questions

    I don't know if this helps to give some context for the OP or not, but I started dripping with rebuildables, first, before buying disposables. I didn't want to ruin disposables before getting familiar with dripping - not that they work the same way, but still...I wanted to know whether I...

    IKV atomizer questions

    It may be a faulty assumption to consider each and every drip atomizer as having a break-in period, but I think it's a safe assumption. In other words, as a whole, some do and some don't. I've had atomizers be awesome right quick and others take a few hours of heavy vaping or days of lighter...

    About 2 months now for me... It's like a damn miracle, really, after nearly 20 years of smoking. Congratulations!

    IKV atomizer questions

    Drip atomizers are worth the effort (read: "learning curve"). I have a 510 Canon from Ikenvape, and I'm quite impressed with it.

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    I think that I have six orders in the mail: 1) 100 feet of 28 gauge Kanthal wire & 25 feet of 28 & 32 gauge equivalent ribbon wire from TemCo. 2) Snickerdoodle and Banana Doodle eliquid from Ms. T's Bakery 3) 50 1.8 Ohm SLB 510 drip atomizers that I got for .50 cents each on a clearance deal...

    Cleaning Syringes & Needles

    Yeah, I got some needle tip bottle tops from Mt. Baker, and they work great for refilling eRoll cartridges.

    Cleaning Syringes & Needles

    I went to CVS and asked the pharmacy tech about buying a bunch of syringes about a month ago to help me fill my eRoll cartridges, and she was more than happy to help me. She has been desperately trying to get her mother to quit smoking, and when I showed her the eRoll and its cartridge, she...

    Cleaning Syringes & Needles

    I'm clergy, so I don't worry too much about getting pulled over by the police when driving with vaping stuff or what they would say if they had cause to search my apartment...wearing a collar sometimes has its benefits.

    DIY Day One

    I just went back and made 3ml of Flavour Art Custard at 20%, too, so now I have each of my flavors (except EM) in a 3ml bottle mixed at 20%. Now I can drip various combinations to experiment with flavor ratios and get a better idea of what I can do with what I've got. I think that I'll do...

    Cleaning Syringes & Needles

    I just got in a bunch of 1ml and 10ml syringes and various locking needles, and now that I've used them, what is the most efficient way of cleaning them and/or sterilizing them before using them again? Thanks!
