    Flavor in different types of tanks?

    Right this minute, I'm running... 1. SMOK Micro ADC II @ 1.5ohm/12.6W - my super-tootler, with good flavor 2. Kanger Subtank Nano @ 1.2ohm/16W - with VERY good flavor 3. SMOK eGO Cloud Tank @ 0.5ohm/26W - with Excellent flavor 4. UD Bellus RTA @ 0.17ohm/37W/420F TC - with Outrageous flavor...

    New Youde RTA the Bellus

    Up to now, I've been a glorified tootle-puffer with a couple Subtank Nanos on the side. Recent FDA rumors shaped my holiday sales purchase selections this year, and I went heavy on stockpiling factory coils and DIY e-juice supplies. And, in a fit of survivalist paranoia, I thought maybe I should...

    You opinions on itcvapes

    No, I haven't tried anything from ECBlend, though I've had them bookmarked a long time. These days, I'm making juice myself, so I'm not looking hard for vendors. Anyway, though it's hard to answer in detail whether the throat hit or flavor will be suitable for you, hopefully my impressions can...

    You opinions on itcvapes

    That NG will still be pretty smooth, but with those options you've done all you can to bring the throat hit. I do enjoy their Silver RY4 also, and I've got a big bottle of it. It's a good choice when you really want a cigarette, since the Turkish note is very robust.

    Nilla Gorilla is a smooth banana/vanilla pudding with a little cookie or graham cracker taste. The flavor doesn't really impart throat hit in this case. If you get any, it'll be from the nic and power levels.

    You opinions on itcvapes

    This has to do with their base, which is a bit thicker than other vendors. I'm not sure why, but I've heard theories about anhydrous VG and the like. Here's what the vendor said on fB (which I quoted back in April in the big old ITC thread, now closed by the mods): "All ratios are PG/VG There...

    Hi New Here, help regards strength calculation

    I don't know ZAAP brand either, but a 1.8% nicotine solution would be a good strong e-liquid for a new quitter using beginner e-cig equipment. It's what I used to quit smoking, although it was labeled as an "18mg" liquid. :)

    Hi New Here, help regards strength calculation

    No, that statement you've quoted is a bit inconsistent. If you had 20mg of nicotine in 100mL of e-liquid, that would equal 0.2mg/mL by ratio, or 0.02% nicotine by volume. That's a very low nic strength and I've never seen e-liquid sold that way. In my experience, when an e-liquid is labeled...

    If Ohm's Vapes juices are as great as their order fulfillment...

    I haven't tried that Custard, but Red Velvet never really lost that acrid boozy buttercream icing note for me. I still have some, and rotate it in for occasional playtime, and while I can make nice and say it's mildly improved over the months, the truth is it will never be something I really...

    You opinions on itcvapes

    I like them quite a bit, and recommend Nilla Gorilla, Puddin' #9, Apple Buns, Mach 10, Dirty Dutchman, and Mimosa if I'm picking six. I haven't tried their newest, Loopy Fruit, but it has picked up a lot of good reviews in a short time. I didn't care much for the popular Spoonlicker variants...

    Hi New Here, help regards strength calculation

    I don't know the brand or its reputation, but I can tell you that "18mg strength" is the common parlance for 18 mg nicotine per mL, meaning that bottle should contain 180mg of nicotine in total, and be 1.8% pure nicotine by volume.

    Black Axis.

    Thanks for the reviews, @Submarine123! You selected some flavors I haven't tried. I really like Milk Maid, and Key Lime Suga Cookie has steeped out pretty well too. I never tried the plain version, but Good Ol' Peach Custard was a winner. Cinilla Bun Shake is also pretty great. For Christmas I...

    Some noob questions for the lot about DIY

    Welcome, Blue300! You don't want to be messing with pure nicotine anyway. A 10% solution (100mL/mg) is the commonly-used high concentrate. Getting it in a PG base makes it easier to work with when pulling up small amounts in a syringe. You'll want a good e-liquid calculator to start mixing...

    Whats the latest and greatest.. and affordable?

    Good experiences with: Black Axis, MadTown Vapor, Ohm's Vapes, Slim's E-Juice. Intrigued by: Blue Dot Vapors, T-Maxx's No-Frills MLs, Vaping Veteran's Supplies. But I'm into DIY now, and it looks like that's going to stick for a while.

    What's your best juice ever since you started vaping?

    This may end up getting moved to DIY Recipes, but I've seen this Pistachio RY4 clone and will be giving it a try soon. All TFA flavors: 2% Brown Sugar, 1% Caramel (Original), 7% Pistachio, 3% RY4 Double, and 3% Vanilla Swirl. There's a very interesting thread on a Soller's Pointe clone HERE...

    Itc vapes flavor boost

    ITCVapes' liquids are definitely long steepers. I've never gotten a flavor boost, but I know they need time to develop--maybe more than any other vendor--and I don't think adding the boost makes that aging period any shorter. I'd say give them a good shake and put them away for another week or...

    Blueberry Cinnamon Cake Donut. All Capellas

    I'm going to try this one, since I enjoy the BCC on its own. I'll have to order your other components though. Since you mentioned it's light on blueberry, I immediately thought about the new CAP Blueberry Jam flavor, which I'm also quite liking as a solo. I might toss it into your mix at 2% for...

    TFA RECIPE ADVICE

    Here's one you might try: RY4 Lovers: Zelda SkyWhy4 I've mixed a bottle based on this recipe, with significant revisions because I don't want 26% flavoring in my vape and I don't like caramel to overtop the other flavors. Mine's not yet a week old, and I won't try it until it hits 3...

    Help! Started with the basics and made....garbage

    Next week they'll both taste better. Count on it. My 10% TFA Apple Pie waited a week before I ever touched it. The only differences from yours: I made 50/50 12mg, and I added 3 more drops to my 15mL bottle (Sweetener, EM, AP). It wasn't strong, but it tasted like apple pie, especially in...
