    Reduced flavor with reduced nic level or just me?

    Are you noticing loss in flavor in all liquids dropping from 24mg to 18mg?

    Reduced flavor with reduced nic level or just me?

    A lot of things can be a factor here, when considering juices in general. I've never tried the same juice at different levels, so keep that in mind! I guess let me ask a few questions before I give any insight. How long since you quit stinkies? Do you still use them? How long of a period of...

    Lava Tanks, Tubes & Clearomizers

    It would be unlikely to see a dramatic crack from many of the acidic juices in 3 minutes, but some juices, like cinnamon, have a very dramatic effect on polycarbonate or plastics that can be seen in a short period of time. If something has a huge effect on the material, though, it will become...

    Is this a good deal? Looking to upgrade to Ego-T

    I am super glad to hear about this. I am also a CS student (Ph.D. second year), so I can feel your pain. Definitely keep in touch with me via PM over the course of your initial experience. I am relatively new too and I am constantly in flux of getting and giving juices to find the best match...

    They must have heard us talking about them last night, cuz phiniac just started a "scratch and dent" section of their site with marked down prices. Not a plug for phiniac, but if you were looking for a glass tank or specifically a phiniac, you might look there now.

    Ghostrider, those do look promising. They do not appear to be released yet. What do you know about them?

    Lava Tanks, Tubes & Clearomizers

    Ms. T, truer words could not be spoken. I think tanks are great for convenience, but if it is causing a lot of problems, it is not a reason to stop using the juices, especially if you like them. I think it is pretty clear that it is the peripheral, not the juice, that is the issue here. Tanks...

    Lava Tanks, Tubes & Clearomizers

    Bubbakinns, I know there's a lot of names being thrown around, so let me give you a quick rundown on the problem. Certain juices are more acidic than others. Plasticky (polycarbonate) tanks crack with these. It doesn't matter what the company says about their tanks, this material suffers with...

    Thank you Ms. T! You're so sweet! If I figure out how all this works, I'll make a nice thread in your forums about how to set one up. Then maybe someone might start makin' them and supplying them for ya! If I ever get downtime between Ph.D. courses/research or teaching I would jump on that...

    @Str8V8ping: I know how to make those "quit date" generated images. Perhaps we should talk on PM and we could set it up? You could supply the images/mockups and I'll just add the coding. Then we let simmer for 45 mins to an hour and serve with a Merlot.

    Absolutely! Anyone reading this (you too, Ms. T!) feel free to keep asking questions. I will update this thread the more I learn about these. Ideally, as with most things in vaping, people can learn enough to fine tune and DIY their own devices for the perfect experience. I think places such as...

    Coupons go up for the Phiniac VERY often. I think there's one until May 2nd (code: haveablast) for the sandblasted one. 15% off? Let me see if I can find any others... Yeah, it looks like they are all around $40 for _glass_ tanks. I searched for more delrin tanks, and the link at the bottom...

    Lava Tanks, Tubes & Clearomizers

    Okay! I am not particularly endorsing the Phiniac tank. I hear decent things about the fuel tank as well, it's just that I suggest anything with delrin or glass so as to avoid the cracking issue. Reviewers like GrimmGreen or PBusardo or any of the millions of reviewers out there are much better...

    Phiniac is really, really cool. You or whoever does your graphics should make a cool black and white version of your logo so I can get it sandblasted, like I was mentioning earlier! I'll put the link at the bottom. Know that in no way am I affiliated with Phiniac. I barely know about tanks, but...

    Here's my solution: Buy a Phiniac tank. Here's how to make it better: Have them sandblast Ms. T's logo on it. Actually, I am a bit of a hypocrite here, because I don't have a phiniac yet. I also just bought your liquid for the first time. Regardless, I know almost nothing about tanks yet, but...
