    Just did a couple of protank rebuilds to test out the Monkey Cake and Winter Breeze. Probably need to let the wicks soak over night to be able to give a real initial review. As of right now, Winter Breeze is exactly what I expected. A little lighter on the Blueberry than the Sweet Blue, with a...

    Dirty Dutchman is a coil gunker. It requires a lot of maintenance as an ADV for me, but I do it because I like it so much. The orangutan left my wick pretty white when I took it out. You'll save time/money if you choose something a little lighter in color. Unfortunately, everything I like seems...

    Thanks for reminding me about the extra steep time on the Orangutan. I've only had it for 5 days. I vaped about 1/3 tank of it to try and get rid of the soapy taste leftover from the HB. A little bit of soapy taste remains, but it's not as strong as before. All I taste is soapy tobacco for now...

    VapeNW is $34.95 like it has been all week. I ordered mine on a Friday afternoon (WA), and it arrived on Monday (VA). That's a good price at Rock Bottom if you can actually make use of the wall charger and cable. I actually could, as an acquaintance of mine has been asking me to put him on (but...

    I feel your pain. I know what it's like to be very anxious about receiving something. I've noticed a recent slowdown in shipping times as well. Perhaps it's just the time of the year, although Christmas is a ways off. I order from this ebay vendor all the time. She ships same day from CA, and I...

    Not sure why you're getting so defensive about this. I'm just trying to help, and so were you. Let that person decide how they want to deal with the issue and just provide him the information. I said the O-Ring thing would probably work, but I've never done it on an iStick before so I can't...

    If the IPV mini displayed voltage correctly without being too much bigger, then it might be a big competitor to the iStick, but it has to be very price competitive. With iSticks settling at around $30 shipped, the IPV mini couldn't charge more than $40 if it wanted to stay competitive. The IPV...

    Still, I wouldn't do that to a brand new device. If start using the adapter before it gets too worn, then maybe you can save it before it becomes a bigger issue.

    I'm fairly confident that they will drop down in price after this initial rush. Also, the smartvapes link that the other poster made is probably a better place to get it. $30 is a pretty good price point, and I don't see it dropping down that much more after that.

    I wouldn't do this so soon to a new iStick. It was a last resort to fix my MVP 2. It has worked fine ever since, but it requires a sweet spot on tightness, and the OHM meter is all over the place now. I'm hoping that me keeping the ego adapter mine will preserve the fire pin for a while. I've...

    Funny, I saw a post for an iStick on my deals web site. It ships from China on November 1st, so you might not get it for a month, but it's the cheapest price I've seen. $28.49 shipped with coupon code "all5off" Eleaf Istick 20W 2200mah VV&VW Mod I ordered mine from VapeNW for $35.99 and...

    Good info Sarah. I usually take it out whenever I remember to. The water usually stays warm for a pretty long for me and I lose track of time. As I said before, there are many different thoughts on how to steep correctly. Some people think heat/hot water ruins the juice and that you should just...

    Take some hot water that's not quite boiling (I use the water from the hot water cooler that you can make instant coffee out of) and put it in a cup. Take the bottle of juice and stick it in a Ziploc bag (to protect the labeling from getting damp if you care). Stick the bottle in the hot...

    Struggling to recoil.

    I find the opposite to be true, unless you have large hands or something. With a PT, all you have to do is wrap it, put it between the 2 cutouts in the coil, push 1 lead up, and push the rubber insulator in and you're done. With my KFL, I have to align it in the middle, get the leads around...

    Thanks for the review! Please report back after a week or two though. After a week with a hot water steep you should probably get very close to the final flavor. I got enough "candy banana" in the bananaberry dream though. Not really into it. P.S. That's a very pretty mech mod. But I don't...

    Ehhh I saw that, but I find that most people don't review stuff unless they really liked it or really hated it. Everything on ITC has good reviews pretty much, but a lot of the stuff I have received has been mediocre. I really need to stop buying so much juice though. I've spent over $200 in...

    Yes, I carry around 4 flavors with me every day (I have 2 more tanks at home I don't have room to carry). I usually alternate between two primaries during a break. The other two flavors are just for a quick taste. I've only used the HB in protanks. The KFL is so tedious to take apart, recoil...

    Struggling to recoil.

    Yes, threading through a made coil is easy, but to actually wrap the coil around a non-solid piece of wicking material is not an easy thing to do, at least for me it's not. Someone said earlier that silica cannot be threaded into a coil as easily as cotton/rayon. The OP is using silica...

    Struggling to recoil.

    Yes, and wrapping fluffy cotton with a coil is darn near impossible as well. I actually tried once when I didn't know what I was doing. It's laughable the way it came out. I can see why people use silica, as it probably lasts the longest out of all the materials, but it's pretty poor at...

    I believe the commonly used term for the nozzle is the "dripper." Steeping is done differently by different people. But yes, I remove the dripper when I steep my bottles. Some people claim that leaving the cap/dripper off for longer than a few hours leads to diminished flavor. I haven't had...
