    No good deed goes unpunished.

    Longbottom is one of my favorite juices, very, very good. The Shire is *very* much like the Longbottom, with just a hint more maltly flavor. 100ml lasting a few months? In our house, between the wife and I, we go through a little over 30ml a *week* - 100ml would maybe last a month. Maybe.

    Are you cool?

    I like a cool vape. Don't like it when it gets warm.

    RBA on Provari?

    Zen Atty Pro on a Provari is very, very nice. Z-Atty-Pro - Rebuildable Tank System V2.1

    Why use RBA's?

    I got into RBAs for two reasons: 1) The vape is amazing. 2) I want a sustainable system. I can buy wicks and kanthal in bulk at a very small cost. Having a system where you only need worry about such basic things is nice. My wife and I really only spend money on juice these days, with...

    It's...so...good.... (my take on the Z Atty Pro)

    The ZAP (or any Genesis, IMHO) is not good for carrying around. This is a sit on the couch or in front of the computer vaping machine. Yes, you have to keep them upright; this is obvious given the design. This is, however, easily done by using a simple wooden block with an appropriately sized...

    Whats your preferred inhale method?

    For the most part, I just puff my PV like a pipe. Draw into my mouth, hold for a bit, and then exhale through my nose. I do, however, occasionally inhale into my lungs during this process. When I first started vaping, I did lung inhales much more frequently. I've found that I do this less...

    Your favorite vendor

    Alice in Vapeland for my juices. I get supplies from several vendors, no favorites, but no bad experiences either. Most of my stuff is rebuildable, so I don't buy much hardware these days.

    It's...so...good.... (my take on the Z Atty Pro)

    I love my ZAP. Don't discount the ceramic wicks just yet; they are lovely. Very clean and if you are careful, you can have them last for months if not longer. It is rather hard to break one while wrapping it if you stick with 32 gauge wire - just make sure you anneal the wire first. What...

    I'm a new member with FIN questions.

    Yes they can! BTW, using a screw is a great way to pop out the top plastic bit. Just screw it into the hole until tight and pop it out. My wife and I started vaping using Fins - they really aren't too bad. I will join the others, however, in recommending a 510 eGo and a clearomizer of some...

    Which flavor category do you vape from most? Tobacco,Chocolate/Vanilla,Coffee/Tea,Fruits/Veggies,Candy/Sweet/Sour,Drinks/Soda/Liqueur,Menthol/Mint,Foo

    I've been very surprised how my tastes have changed since I started vaping. At first, like so many, I looked for tobacco flavors. There are some very good ones. I smoked a pipe before I smoked cigarettes, so I settled in on some pipe-like vapes for a while. I then moved on to bakery flavors...

    Buyers remorse?

    When I first purchased my Provari, I had a bit of sticker shock. Having owned it, it is the most reasonable thing I have purchased.

    Coil rebuild disaster ***help***

    Don't try to insert the needle into the wick. Just lay it along side of the wick.

    Coil rebuild disaster ***help***

    A few things that might help: As others have noted, use a needle to give the wick some structural stability so you can wrap it. Make sure you anneal your wire. Get it red hot with a lighter and let it air-cool. This will make the wire soft and easy to wrap. Slow down. Silca is fragile, you...

    When should you consider rebuildables?

    I would highly recommend against this. Using a sub-ohm coil (resistance < 1 Ohm) means you are basically shorting out your battery. The batteries used in vaping are no small joke, they pack a lot of power. Shorting them is a dangerous game. Mods with protective circuitry will simply error out...

    what is your favorite vapor vendor?

    Very well said. Well worth the wait for their juices. Wife and I just ran out of our giant bottle of A Quiet Morning (the horror!) ordered a giant bottle last week, but won't see it for a while. The decision was made today to keep two giant bottles on hand and reorder when the second is opened!

    Alice in Vapeland. Hands down.

    When should you consider rebuildables?

    I get mine from Provape.com They are fragile and it sucks when you break one, but you learn to be careful. I don't find that wrapping them is when I break them, but when I am removing the "hood" of the Genesis tank. I'm getting better at not breaking them and they can be brought back to mint...

    When should you consider rebuildables?

    You make a valid point. I like to tinker and get great joy from making a great coil. I guess I should add that if one goes the way of a rebuildable, patience is also needed.

    When should you consider rebuildables?

    Try a ceramic wick. You won't go back.

    Does free samples and personal notes on packing slips make a difference to you?

    Free samples are a great way to get me to order more juices! I'll order what comes highly recommended from a trusted friend or if it is something I've tried. There are many juices that *sound* good, but that I'm not going to take a risk ordering. Tossing in some samples lets me try that...
