    Probably a really bad idea, but has anyone tried it?

    I would support the dump bucket approach. A warning about trading is that you usually trade your bad flavors for more bad flavors and it takes some time and effort. I have a big bottle I use for exactly that reason, usually keep things in the same family. If I find it meandering the wrong way...

    Is Itaste MVP2.0 a good upgrade?

    I didn't really like the box look, but have warmed up to it. I have tried much more expensive mods and could probably pick one up when I get a quarterly bonus, but I have come to like the form and function of the MVP. Admittedly, I am a very, very light user, but on a recent trip, my MVP went...

    Protank 2 single coil in Mini Protank 3 (usually a dual coil)...OK???

    I think you'll be fine. I always use single coils with pro tanks and have never had a problem.

    anyone feel awkward in vape shops

    This will probably shock you but many of the shops around here actually have more female employees. One small chain has nothing but women working the counter. I am usually pretty uncomfortable at shops, but have found one I like…it looks professional and is well stocked and the prices are close...

    Disrespectful Little Punk

    First of all, I am claiming "Hipster While Shopping" as my band name. Profanity in public, contrary to popular belief, is not generally illegal, but grown ups should know better.

    Nemesis clone or MVP2

    I would highly recommend the MVP. No muss, no fuss, battery will last for more than a day with moderate use. I will give you that the nemesis looks sexier, but I am a big believer in function over form. MVP just works. I am honestly not trying to impress anyone with what device I am using, so I...

    How many coil heads should I have and how often should I switch out

    Changing when the flavor changes is the right answer. Occasionally blowing out the heads and wiping them off if the draw seems to tighten and to keep them from getting gunky seems to extend the useful life. I can usually get three or four cycles out of them with a vodka bath. So far as best...

    Anybody else run into his issue?

    I have a juice I like and plenty of back stock of other juice, a set up I am rock solid on. I nonetheless like going in stores, even though I really don't need anything else. Kind of feel guilty just floating around and usually end up buying a juice for my steadily expanding juice box.

    If you had it to do over again....

    Here's where I settled: MVP 2.0 and pro tank with aero adapter. Have tried a lot more expensive, nothing close for me. Roar Vapors is my go-to. I which I could trade everything in my drawer that isn't Roar for it. The journey is not as fun as the destination in this case.

    If You Don't Know Anything About Vaping, Don't Open a Vape Shop

    The Vaping thing reminds me for all the world of the baseball card craze of the late 1980s (which I was very much a part of). Shops opened on every corner, often by people who didn't know Willie McCovey from Willie Crawford. But at the time, the simple reselling of wax boxes would yield huge...

    itaste mvp vs vamo

    I started with an Ego / Stick battery set up. Decided it was time to upgrade, almost for no particular reason. After looking at a Provari and deeming it too bulky, I bought a Vamo because I didn't like the box format of the MVP. The experience for me was not an upgrade over the VV stick...

    e-liquid is a "tobacco product"

    Just curious…has anyone tried to extract nicotine from Broccoli or Cauliflower for use in e-liquid? While i am sure it would be far less efficient, it would probably also create some interesting opportunities.

    Why is there so many anti vaping articles?

    While it is natural to assume there is some sort of vast conspiracy, it's probably not that. I used to work in the media. The one thing you need to do is report on controversial and alarmist things…that's what gets people reading and talking. For the moment, vaping fits that bill just fine...

    Very odd finding/ please help

    This should not be the way it is…but it is. I used VV stick batteries for about a year with no issue. I decided I wanted a VV/VW device an bought an MVP as well as a Vamo. Using settings that are in the Ohms Law sweet spot (1.8 coil, 7.0 / 3.5), I found it to irritate my throat…sort of like...

    Need to find a way to organize liquid bottles

    I have a vintage Webster Superior cigar box from the 1920s which is a nice size, taller by twice than most cigar boxes but also thinner. When it begins to approach full, it's time to dump, give away, or stop buy buying for a while. I keep it in a file drawer.

    eVic or MVP2 as my first APV?

    From personal experience, I never thought I would tolerate a box, but I kept reading rave reviews on the MVP 2. I bought a vamo, was disappointed with its performance and short battery life, looked at a Provari, which I could fit into the budget, but found it heavy and awkward. I decided to take...

    Any reason this won't work fine?

    I am looking to mix up some 0 mg juice…can i just use PG and flavoring? Should that work ok? Sorry, new to this.

    Stupid questions from DIY Noob

    i am thinking about meandering toward the edges of DIY. If I were to get premixed, pre steeped flavorless pass and add a good quality flavoring would additional steeping be required? Generally speaking, if you are making 10 ML of liquid, what percentage should be flavor if it was a simple flavor?

    Just Flavor Shoot Me

    I have had great luck with Roar. I guess what sent me on the rant was looking at two very popular sellers who are lower price vendors who offer multiple flavor shot options. Because the are cheap, $30 will mean you will get 100 ml or more, which is something you really DON'T want if it is bad.

    Airing juice?

    Tops off. I usually try to block in in pretty good as I have a steeping drawer and once had a bottle tip and it was both a waste of liquid (money) and a mess to clean up. An occasional shake is a good thing. Put the top back on for that, obviously.
