    At this moment: Which Nicoticket eLiquid are you vaping?

    My 30ml (by which I mean a 30ml bottle completely overfilled) bottle of Betelgeuse arrived today, and I immediately tanked it up in a Kayfun clone. Wow. It's different than the older stuff that I got from Flavored here on ECF; the fresh stuff is notably sweeter to my taste buds - and I love...

    What's your favorite "complimentary" flavor ?

    Frenilla by Nicoticket is a great mixer to add vanilla to just about anything.

    What are your all day vapes?

    For clarity, my definition of an ADV is one that I can vape for a full day without the urge to switch to another flavor. I can do that with lots of liquids now that I know what I like. For me, perhaps a more useful distinction is between what I can reasonably afford to vape on a daily basis...

    And it begins (coil building)

    You can always back your first wrap off afterwards so that it doesn't count, so to speak.

    If you could start vapeing all over again, what would you buy from the start?

    I would have started with a Provari right away with Kayfun & Taifun clones (had they been readily available for cheap). I would have skipped silica and gone straight to cotton and XC-116 & XC-132 from RBASupplies. I would have gotten into DIY juice much sooner. That said, I have no regrets...

    Two is one and one is none

    Two is one and one is none - my mantra, too. Only once in my nearly 9 months sans cigarettes have I been woefully unprepared - my 18350 battery case had fallen out of my briefcase before heading to class and a single 18350 wasn't going to cut it, so I bought a crappy disposable from a head...

    At this moment: Which Nicoticket eLiquid are you vaping?

    I guess this is the wrong thread to mention that I just switched tanks to Boba's Bounty from August? :)

    At this moment: Which Nicoticket eLiquid are you vaping?

    The Betelgeuse that I got from Flavored as a reward for becoming a member of CASAA is quickly diminishing! I'm so glad to have 30ml on the way from Nicoticket...

    A little help please?

    You might look into Lucky 7 for very inexpensive juice. You could get a couple sample packs and then save even bigger by buying in bulk - up to a full liter! I'm a fan of IBTanked, but I typically use a Kayfun or Taifun clone from Fasttech - you'd benefit from their low prices and free...

    Having a bad day

    I used to need "craving killer" juices for times like that. Thankfully those cravings have gotten fewer and less strong over time. Sometimes I would go back to cig-a-likes for the cigarette form factor, too, when having cravings. Nowadays, it's not much of an issue, though I still maintain a...

    Durability of a Provari?

    My Take on Micro Coil setup

    What gauge wire? With 30 gauge, it is quite responsive and doesn't "sizzle" afterwards. What wattage? 28 gauge and lower can be rather unresponsive and may "sizzle" afterwards if underpowered.

    Authentic kanger protank II atomizer not rebuildable?

    Obviously, he doesn't know what he's talking about, but I would expect shops to prefer us to not rebuild them since they'd typically prefer us to buy more heads from them. My business model would focus on helping customers save money on things like that and focus on quality juices as the source...

    Lucky 7 Vapes discussion

    Ha! Nope - I was strictly referring to myself and how my diligence paid off with my 100% VG DIY experience. I've learned patience, though. I still have Boba's Bounty from August and Custards Last Stand from early December. Right now I'm vaping some DIY dated on January 15th. I typically...

    Lucky 7 Vapes discussion

    You're probably right. I don't typically breathe juices unless they have alcohol based, but boy does it make a difference when I'm diligent about it.

    Lucky 7 Vapes discussion

    Breathing & steeping are two different things entirely. I recently made some 100% VG juices that definitely had an alcohol based flavoring, and I would take the cap off everyday and squeeze the bottles to expel the air and suck new air in. After a week of breathing them daily, now I'm leaving...

    Is steeping always necessary ?

    Fruits w/o alcohol are typically good right away.

    Vaping banned in schools/colleges?

    At the seminary where I'm working toward a doctorate, smoking is permitted outside, and most folks that see me vaping are probably just happy that I'm not smoking anymore. At the university that I'm doing a certificate program, smoking is also permitted outside. It's a gated private Catholic...

    At this moment: Which Nicoticket eLiquid are you vaping?

    Thanks for the validation! You enjoy CLS for me, and I'll enjoy Betelgeuse for you - it's really good!
