    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    Gearbest has the eVic VT 60W on sale now for $57 and change. With a coupon, it's 54 bucks shipped. Gearbest says they have the units in stock. I ordered one two days ago, but cancelled the order yesterday. So many reports of problems with these early production run eVics make want to cool my...

    All-in-one RY4 pre-mixed DIY flavorings with mix percentages, Report Card, vendor links, and review posts Mixing Percentages The key to making good DIY RY4 from Pre-Mixed RY4 flavorings and concentrates is knowing how much (or rather, how little) flavoring to use. Flavorings require a higher...

    The Big RY4 Report Card The grades given for these retail RY4s are my opinion only. They are also current judgments and may differ from grades I gave in the past. So please understand that if you base a buying decision solely on this list, you might end up getting an RY4 that I like rather than...

    Cloupor Mini Mod 30W

    Flapstick, I believe you, and my former suggestion may be dead wrong. I still think odds are good that your Cloupor Mini is fine, and that the mystery problem lies somewhere else.

    Cloupor Mini Mod 30W

    Flapstick, As KTMRider wrote, your Cloupor Mini is functioning as it should. The blinking resistance means that the Mini cannot buck the voltage down to achieve the (low) wattage you've selected. As to why this happens with only one of two supposedly identical coils, I'd suggest that the...

    OK, I added MtBakerVapor Ruyan 4 to The Big RY4 List with links to the vendor page and your review.I didn't add it to the Category Groups or Report Card sections, since I wouldn't know where to put it in either assessment. Ruyan 4 has more than 100 customer reviews on the MtBaker product page...

    The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

    Early on in the thread I had the goal of making The Big RY4 List comprehensive---you know, a list that covered every retail RY4 and DIY RY4 flavoring in the marketplace. Well, we gave that a good try. Almost 200 RY4s reviewed, categorized, and graded amounts to a pretty fair effort. Now...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    What gives me pause is that I understood the entire sentence without skipping a beat, as if I were reading regular English. Confirms how far down the vaping rabbit hole I've gone.

    The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

    Ah, decisions, decisions. I trust your reviews, dude, so my dilemma is whether or not to put on The Big List a juice with an "RY4" name---Ruyan 4---that is NOT an RY4. I think I'll just leave it off the List.

    Cloupor Mini Mod 30W

    The new Kanger Subox Mini 50W might fit the bill. Most vendors are offering it now (some still on pre-sale) bundled with a matching Kanger Subtank Mini for around $45-50, depending on the vendor, coupons, etc., but the mod alone is beginning to show up for $25-30. Uses one user-installed...

    Here's the hangdude's review (post #3326 from Dec 8th, 2012): Professor Marvel's Master Blend from Nashville Vapor Nashville Vapor is a reseller that recently started carrying their own ejuice line called Sancia Smoke E-Liquids. The flavors sound good. I chose Master Blend, not really knowing...

    The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

    I think it's time for me to report that I seem to have become a direct-lung inhaling cloud chaser. This comes as a great surprise to me. I remember back about two years ago (I'm guessing), when I first saw vaping videos on YouTube with guys chucking huge clouds of vapor. This was the beginning...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    I misread your question. You were referring to the slots on the evaporative chamber, not the modding of the air holes into slots. As dwcraig wrote, increasing the width of the chamber slots allows larger wicks and more juice flow through the wicks to the coil. That alteration serves to increase...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    The goal of enlarging the chamber slots is increased air flow to the coil.

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    The one Taifun I dremel-slotted does have somewhat increased air flow, but not enough to really turn it into a direct-lung cloud chucker. So far, the rest of my bell-capped Taifun GT V2s remain unaltered, with their stock air holes, since I like them as my mouth-to-lung max-flavor tanks...

    The Really Big RY4 Roundup (long)

    Jerms, Awhile back, someone sent me a sample of ITCVapes' Silver RY4. I don't know if the recipe changed, but that sample didn't taste like the RY4 from ITC that I reviewed near the end of 2013. The Silver wasn't as good. I think you're right about the synthetic Turkish flavoring. My preference...

    I'm not sure what you mean by "too bad it did not happen." The Big RY4 List has been an ongoing feature of this thread since its beginning and has grown very large. It has six sections that I update and re-post on the thread every 2-3 months. 1. RY4 Reviews - Classic and Custom Retail RY4s...
