    Nature's Flavors recipe thread

    Well..... crap. I love the Kona mixes I've come up with, and have used the Kona Velvet Milkshake/Kona Caramel Milkshake from Virgin for months -- and am absolutely positive these use the same flavors. Of particular note -- I've been using these mixes daily for about 3 months now, with the only...

    Nature's Flavors recipe thread

    I'm less worried about sediment and more worried about diacetyl content..

    Nature's Flavors recipe thread

    Anything new on your request to NF for a list of diacetyl containing flavors? As much as I love the flavor, I've discontinued any of my kona cream mixes until we know for sure.

    Why full size when the mini can potentially be both?

    The extension on the mini is only capable of handling a 18490/18500 battery, whereas the full with the extension can take a 18650. You can get a non-factory extension (known as the 'Twins') to use a 18650 with the mini, however, Provari doesn't sell one to use the 18650 with it by default. The...

    How many puffs a day do you take?

    ....I do, for many reasons. Sometimes when I wake up, due to the allergens in the air around my area, my chest feels 'heavy' so 1-3 sec pulls are all I can do. Sometimes, I'm driving some serious wattage through one of my rebuildables, and 1-3 seconds is all I NEED for huge billowing clouds. It...

    one ego shorts with atomizer, but a different battery works.

    Resistance wire is resistance wire. The battery can't tell the difference from Kanthal A/A-1/D/Nichrome 60/80 from a hunk of stainless steel. The only thing it can tell is, "is this drawing in a way that may damage me? Yes? Shut off." Simply put -- you are getting a short somewhere. Whether...

    A Preview of DIY Armageddon?

    Batteries aren't going to be a problem. The batteries we use were well established in the world of flashlights before us, and besides -- they're just batteries. Nothing to regulate there. Same will go for everything but the nicotine portion, and perhaps the industry around it. For people not...

    Nature's Flavors recipe thread

    Strange... I don't detect any aftertaste or undertone present in the 4 NF flavors I have. Also, I'm quite sure that its the source that Virgin Vapor uses for their flavors, and have never noted any kind of underlying taste with theirs -- and I've pounded through quite a bit of their juices. Now...

    Crazy clouds with Bakero wire

    Can't argue with that -- but at least we know going into it what to expect. Yes, manufacturing problems exist, especially where QC is largely nonexistant, but why introduce more layer to the mystery? I personally have moved away from prebuilt stuff to avoid exactly this kind of unknown -- and...

    Crazy clouds with Bakero wire

    Ziggy won't be replying, he's 'moved on' due to being an unregistered supplier. Tibs -- The difference is, we KNOW what we're buying from the vendor who's a reseller. I have no problem with someone reselling -- but reselling 'magic wire' without even revealing a basic level of materials isn't...

    Crazy clouds with Bakero wire

    None of his posts or his FB page imply that he did ANY research and development. By his own claim, he was given a few different types and lengths from someone, tried them out and decided on this one. You're talking about this like he created the stuff -- this is simply not the case. Its a...

    Magic Coil wire/Bakero wire Trying to figure this out

    Of course. I get that. But doesn't it seem convenient that the same guy who's looking to become a stateside vendor of this 'special wire' started his posting here with an attention grabber like "I'm running .002 ohms!" -- then when he's "proven wrong" he can play ignorance when it comes time to...

    Magic Coil wire/Bakero wire Trying to figure this out

    Thanks for a bit of perspective from a local to the Phillipines. I'm still not convinced though -- the timing just seems too convenient. If you read through the OP's .002 ohm thread, it VERY much sounds like he's 'playing ignorance' because it plays into the 'i'm just a naive person looking for...

    Magic Coil wire/Bakero wire Trying to figure this out

    I question that too though -- you did notice the part in the thread where the OP of it was working with ziggy to become the US 'source' for the wire, right? Thats the point when I started questioning the entire thread -- it all seemed too convenient. Quick review of the whole situation up til...

    While I didn't have a big interest in the classifieds or co-op forums, I applied...

    Thanks for the summary, Sarge. Thats pretty much what I expected -- high scale, high availibility load balanced cluster. This is exactly what I work with on a daily basis, and I will attest that this is *NOT* cheap. A couple hundred bucks a month for most decent servers capable of doing this...

    Magic Coil wire/Bakero wire Trying to figure this out

    I noticed that too.. and the only person who doesn't come across like a shill for dude trying to sell it, seems to be continuing some sort of "i'm calling you out on this BS" carried over from a Filipino forum... and the responses seem to imply that what we're suspecting is in fact the case.

    Magic Coil wire/Bakero wire Trying to figure this out

    That whole thread comes across as a subversive way to sneak a subtle ad into the new members forum to drum up sales. It certainly sounds like its just a matter of ribbon kanthal.
