How often do you change coils and/or wicks?
I use thick gunky juices and like to switch between flavors pretty often so i re-wick a lot. I recoil about once a week even though its probably not necessary. I just the the bug and do it. I use the cotton bed method so re-wicking is simple and fast. I love the way a fresh wick tastes... -
My Boba's clone
Hello all, I've been following this thread for some time. I'm a huge Boba's fan. I'm never without a 100ml bottle, and when it's half empty, it's time to reorder. Yesterday I finally got the flavors to make Slohands #7 clone. I made three versions, one following the recipe, and two others...- txgtr

Wick frustrations
Most of the time I use 100% VG but instead of threading the cotton wick through the coil, I make a small bed of cotton for the coil to sit in. I much prefer this method as it seems to work better for me and rewicking is a snap. -
Alien Vision's Boba's Bounty Arrived!
Boba's is my ADV, has been for a while now. I have a pile of emply 100ml bottles and I haven't been vaping too long. I love the stuff. It changes flavor with steeping, it changes flavor on different devices, but It never changes so much that I don't like it. Well, maybe on the protank, it had... -
Boba insights needed
I've found that Boba's taste changes over time and it also tastes different on different devices. My very first experience with Boba's was on a PT with a new stock head. I thought it was outstanding. The head gunked up pretty quickly and had to be changed out after a tank. After changing the... -
Post juices you're afraid to vape because it gunks up your coils so fast
One of my ADVs is Boba's. I've used it on just about every device there is and it gunks them up with a quickness. I got an IGO-L and started using micro-coils with cotton wicks. Things still gunk up fairly quickly but pulling out the wick, dry burning then re-wicking is so easy, and can be done... -
Flavor on the rm2
For a while now I've been putting my coil in a bed of cotton rather than feeding the cotton through the coil. For me this improved flavor immensely. Another thing I've been doing more recently is positioning the coil so that it's center part is facing the air hole as described here... -
Feels like I vape more with the reo
Bobas is one of the biggest reasons I got the Reo. I've tried it in just about every device possible. Once I tried it on a dripper with a micro coil, the Reo was the next logical step. I also tried it in a Protank, and so much of the flavor was lost. It was mushy. I've killed a couple 100ml... -
My nanocoil experiment
I used this new setup all last night and still going strong through today. I didn't have any problems with it gunking up, but I'm a compulsive rewicker anyways. Mine is also a micro rather than nano, so I may try the nano if I can find some free time. I'm also using 30 guage kanthal as that's... -
My nanocoil experiment
I just built a coil on my backup RM2 oriented the same as the one in the OP. Not nearly as pretty, but the coil lines up with the airhole almost perfectly. I'm not using nearly as much cotton either. I do have to say, there is a noticable improvement in flavor. My only dilema is that I do have... -
My nanocoil experiment
I guess I should have said I push it up against the coil. I roll it into a ball and put it at 4, then using a toothpick, I push it up under the coil a bit and around to 2. I make sure that the feeder hole is completely uncovered. I'll post a pic later if I get a chance. -
RM2 screws
Every once in a while one of my screws will come loose. Lately I've given it just a little more torque and they seem to stay put. I still check them on a regular basis...OCD. -
My nanocoil experiment
I actually use very little cotton. Roll it into a ball and push it into the coil on the side opposite the air hole. I take a pokey tool, like a toothpick, and push the cotton under the coil and around to the side opposite of the feeder hole. I keep the feeder hole totally unobstructed. So far... -
My nanocoil experiment
I've been using the bed of cotton method for a while now. I also like thick, gunky juices and I change the cotton several times a day with dry burns. I'm always trying to achieve max flavor so I'm going to have to give this a try. Cool stuff. -
What's your ritual for changing flavors?
I do what everybody above has explained. Sometime I'll swab the deck of the RM2 with a q-tip if the new flavor is going to be drastically different. I've recently gotten a backup RM2, so I'll swap those out sometimes. I rarely change my coil, just dry burn and rewick with cotton. -
best way to test juices
I'm just getting into DIY. I plan on using and Igo-L, since I have it already. I use sterile CVS cotton for wicking. I don't actually put it through the coil, I roll it into a little ball and push it up to the coil and a bit underneath it with something like a toothpick. Super easy to change...- txgtr

I think I jinxed myself
I kinda know the feeling. I've come down with a head cold and it's thrown my taste buds into a wonky state. Waiting for me at home is a delivery of about 30 DIY flavors. I've been excited to mix up some DIY in search of the "perfect" vape. Of course I know I won't make my "perfect ejuice" the... -
Should I get a fuse?
I just use the recommended batteries. I actually have quite a few different batteries but decided to stock up on the ones that are suggested by Rob. I rotate them very frequently and have yet to run into a single issue. I also make sure my coils are checked before putting them to use. I've... -
REO + favorite gadget you can't live without?
For me it's definitely some sort of computer whether it's a laptop, desktop, tablet or phone. Whatever keeps me "connected". At home I also always have a guitar within reach, but I don't really consider that a gadget. -
My 30 ga Kanthal came in the mail today and this happened!
Hellz yeah! I experienced the same thing....Your vape will never be the same....and that's a good thing!
