    ss mesh wicking issues

    Well, the tilting thing has always kind of been the nature of the beast with genys... a small price to pay for the crispness and rich flavor of the vape, imho. I'd say there's 20 geny users who have to tilt at least some for every 1 guy who doesn't. I think alot of folks using ss wire rope are...

    ss mesh wicking issues

    Assuming you're using a geny style rba, high vg juice will not wick nearly as well as high pg. If your using high vg, try creating a straw-type wick with a hole in the center... by rolling it up around a straightened paperclip or the like. Also, while it is not the case 100% of the time, as some...

    How I re-wick my T3's with cheesecloth (pictues)

    Just got my first ever protank of any sort... the 2. It worked okay but I noticed a continuous slight dry/burnt taste. After about half an hour of that, I turned to this method and it's tasting MUCH better. I'm vaping the same juice side by side with a Joye 510 dripping atty and the Protank 2 is...

    Just wanted to share my "unwicked" horizontal micro-coil w/ cotton igo-l setup

    Might could also try something like this: I ended up using a mattress of SS mesh directly beneath the coil instead of a bed of cotton. (not shown in the photo - at that point, I was trying to see if I could vape without any wick at all. Fail.) The mesh was only beneath the coil which left...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    You may be interested to know that I don't even know what this juice tastes like steeped. :blink: The first few test batches where 3ml and didn't last long at all as I vaped through them with my tester's palette in high gear. Then I made 2 15ml batches, only the 2nd one being the absolute...

    Yeah, I've lowered the sweetner to 6%, which is perfect for me.

    Can I expect a percentage... considering this solicitation was proffered on my VC thread? :pervy: :banana: :lol:

    I would keep in mind that the butter adds a creamy richness that some palettes can discern as being slightly on the salty side. Wherefore the extra sweetner might just complement it well. I certainly find it does. But that's what 3ml batches are for, zeroing in on your particular tastes. I wish...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    Why certainly :) Here's a 15ml batch with my prefered nic level and nic base. Don't forget to change the values to suit your own preferences, whether it be for nic, nic base or pg/vg ratio. Plus, as always, feel free to play around with the flavors and percentages. Like they say: taste is...

    I was going to offer a more lengthy reply, but retrox has summed up what I wanted to say very well, probably better than I could have said it myself. I will say that your words of warning are well received here though... at least by me. And I thank you for the link. I found it interesting. The...

    Oh God, I so need to order supplies. I'm forgetting what my vc tastes like, it's been so long. Common paycheck... come to papa. :D

    How does one exactly sand down contacts of the mech mod?

    This is very helpful as it answers the grit question I've been wondering about. I got some 3M medium sand paper and it just seemed to be way too coarse. Didn't seem like all those scratches could be good for a connection, and your insight about what goes on with such a rough surface makes sense...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    I ran out of both Vanilla Custard flavoring and all stock of my most current blend (see tweak report back a few posts). The last I vaped of it was easily a week ago. That said, I was very satisfied with the blend. Is it anything like Grants? I have no idea - as I still haven't tried it yet. But...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    Okay, folks, let me offer my apologies. I was wrong to add those check marks on all the flavors EXCEPT tfa Whipped Cream, which is the only one which offers no mention of pg in the description. MiamiMom is absolutely right though, all that changes is the pg/vg amounts ie... in a 15ml batch -...

    Stevo's Vanilla Custard

    That's a good question. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that... at least not until I get home and try to find out the makeup of the flavors. Thanks for pointing that out. If anyone out there is particularly concerened about their pg intake fir health reasons, please take a moment to...

    My nic base is 60mg pg. I go for 12mg juice. You can see this in the post right below yours which references the screenshot of my op. Check my tweak report a few pages back as I changed to a 50/50 blend.

    Nothing is totally nessessary, especially as it depends on your particular tastes. I would say though that the VC, eggnog and butter are the most important ingredients for me personally.

    Yeah, creaminess is definitely a good thing for this type of recipe. I might buy some marshmellow next purchase, but the Bavarian cream is definitely on my to try list.

    Tweak report. Modified the blend to 50/50pgvg. Increased Vanilla Custard to 15%. Reduced Sweetner to 6%. Increased Egg Nog to 2%. Reduced Smooth to 2%. Regardless of how it compares to Grant's, this juice is yummy! I'm actually liking it better than my beloved CopperCreek House Blend...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    I seem to be having luck with nr-r-nr joints using the basic method (no square knot, zapper or beads) but with plyers. I used to just use plyers to hold the joint while making the last wrap of nr around the main wrap. But now I'm using them to do all the wrapping, which seems to afford an...
