    Caramel original or Caramel Candy?

    You might try FA Fuji for your apple. Maybe with a little FA Apple to round it out. Fuji tastes like a ripe fuji apple, so sort of like a green apple with a little red apple sweetness. It's pretty strong. I've never used it over 1%, so go slow. For a caramel apple, I usually mix a small amt of...

    Gin flavored eliquid?

    FlavourArt makes a gin flavoring, and someone, Flavor West I believe, sells a martini flavoring. But I don't know if anyone sells a gin flavored ejuice. I haven't yet tried either flavoring, though have heard good things about the FA one. It has crossed my mind to try to mix a juice with the...

    Leaving Juice in Tanks for extended periods of time....

    Yeah, it gets gummy and unvapeable. And, usually, the juice will oxidize: it gets darker and the nicotine gets peppery. High VG juice, even if it's kept in the dark, will absorb a lot of water, with obvious negative effects. I've had juice in a tank go bad as quickly as a week. I assume...

    Strawberry Malt

    I wouldn't stress too much about differences in flavor intensity in bottles of Signature (TFA) flavors purchased from ECX. l have been DIY'ing with TFA flavors for several years, and I've bought them from ECX under the Signature label, from TFA directly and from other vendors. I have not...

    First coil build photos: help needed

    Yeah, machine oil is probably the culprit. I wash most RDAs/tanks 3 times. Large run attys are usually dirtier, and I'll sometimes have to toothbrush w/ dawn dish soap, soak in alcohol, and/or boil to get rid of all the machine oil. But the other thing that you could be tasting is your wire...

    What do you expect in 2016?

    Man knitting. :lol: That is nice! We'll probably see coil porn take new and more complicated directions. Man crochet? Man tatting? I'm thinking we'll see improvements in the 26650 so that mods using them will actually become viable. As it is, there are some really interesting 26650 mods now...

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    And, not an RDA, but I've been loving my Zephyr. Looking forward to hearing about other folks' builds and suchlike. Great flavor, surprisingly generous airflow & I really like the feel of the draw. It's very rich, for lack of a better term.

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    I'm interested in that indeDUO. It definitely looks a bit too complicated, but the airflow looks good, the deck might be fun to build on (5 post holes), and it's $30. $30. It's so cheap it helps me rationalize the le Zephyr and the NoPity. Because I have trained my brain to master backwards...

    diy and "vape-tounge" question

    There's nothing in that particular recipe that would give you paper's tongue. But if you only vape one flavor, you will eventually develop it. Sids pretty much covered the things you can do to get your taste back. Some people also recommend rotating juices all the time to avoid the problem...

    10 year old box mod?

    Those patient diagrams were awesome. I can't remember any box mod-ish stuff from 2007. Cig-a-Likes for days, cartos and 4081s/901s/401s, etc. Ego connectors weren't even on the horizon. I do remember seeing a converted flashlight somewhere around 2009-10. Maybe your friend's friend is a...

    Possible issues with Hannya RDA?

    Neal's right. Sounds like your set-up is safe, but it will naturally get hot when you're vaping. There are some attys that I used to always run with a heatsink because their designs made them heat up too quickly, so I second that recommendation. And the delrin/POM one, too. Vape on.

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    Anyone heard of the Mazarin? It's the little brother of the Richelieu by volute modz, which I haven't tried either since it's $150 and unnecessarily complicated IMO. But the Mazarin, which is abt $100, looks very much like an Origen with top air. Probably too rich for my blood right now with...

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    Day-um! That is sweet: both the mod and the JMK Origin haberdashery. I'm really taken with that mokoo. Looks even better in your photo than on fbook. I just ordered another Origin top cap from jmk, in ultem, and an ultem tank section for my mkII. Had to keep my origins looking fresh. He just...

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    For the person asking about Squonk-ready RDAs, I think Catfish still has a few dozen Stumpys from the last run. That Svapiamo squonker is very sweet. I've been putting off buying one because I am on too many lists, but my resolve is weakening. Bad angel: "But, they're so cheap..." Good: "But...

    BUTTERED POPCORN JELLY BEAN FLAVOR? ANYONE?

    Flavor West Butter Cream, purchased from Kidney Puncher Tried it as a test @ 5%. I tasted it and immediately marked the bottle "Buttered Popcorn Jelly Bellys." It's kinda nasty. But then, I don't particularly care for that flavor... Hope it works for you tho.
