    Hoping for suggestions

    The Digiflavor Drop is an easy to build dual coil, it's a year or more old, but i think some retailers still have them. Good flavor and easy air flow adjustment.

    My cotton is burning fast

    The SMM is considered a flavor tank, if you aren’t getting good flavor maybe your wick job and coil placement needs to be adjusted. I use cotton bacon prime and keep the wick fluffy and barely tucked in to the juice holes, wicks great and very nice flavor. But I’m also running a .24 build and...

    Recommended wire build for flavor?

    A flavorful, satisfying vape can be pretty subjective, some people like low Watts and simple builds, some like higher Watts and thicker more exotic coils. I don’t care about clouds either as far as how they look and doing tricks or anything like that, but I have found I prefer a nice dense hit...

    You don’t need a “lab” for DIY

    I only mix for myself, and give away juice every now and then to friends. I used to mix in my kitchen, but now have a desk in the corner of my bedroom with my scale and everything ready to go. Not the cleanest place to mix, but it works for me and is comfortable.

    Point me to some recipes?

    Probably the best thing i did on my DIY journey is i quit haphazardly trying the mix things on my own so much, and instead started searching the popular e juice recipe sites, changed the filter settings to show the most popular and most mixed recipes. Then out of those, i searched for things...

    Flavorah Concentrates Cost

    From my experience, they have thier good ones and bad ones, just like the other companies. Rich Cinnamon is pricey, but very concentrated, also may be the best flavoring I’ve tried, that cinnamon note it has is delicious. Wild Mellons is priced more normal and one of the better mellon flavors...

    good 'cheap' eliquid companies?

    DIY isn’t for everyone, it takes some time and investment, have to figure out what recipes you like. But, the beauty of it is, once you find a few great recipes and have your supplies and equipment ready, it’s very freeing to know you can make a big bottle of amazing tasting juice for a few...

    Question about MTL vs DTL

    Yea, MTL is usually higher Ohms and less Watts, not a big cloud of vapor is produced, works better with a tighter air flow. Low Ohm builds and coils need more power to work right, so you kick the Watts up and end up with a bigger cloud. Personally, I like a restricted lung hit at about 55/65...

    Sub Ohming vs Building

    Yea, I can’t stand drop in coils anymore, especially when they cost so much.....just to end up with muted flavor lol. I pretty much switched to using RDAs at home and use a few RTAs when I’m on the go or at work. I’ve also completely switched to DIY juice, talk about saving money. Once you...

    Just getting back into vaping

    I know what you mean, personally, ive given up on sub ohm tanks lately, those coils are 3-5 bucks a pop depending on where you buy, and don't last very long. I have the Pharaoh mini RTA, single coil with a very easy install. Cheaper than buying coils, better flavor, and still pretty quick to...

    Why is Smok so popular?

    Im not that big on Smok as a company, but i have had better luck with them than i have with Kanger and Wismec. I have a Smok X-priv and it's a nice looking, solid mod, have had no issues with it. I don't like their coils and how they come out with too many flashing lights type mods, but...

    New Sweetener

    DIY vapor supply had INW Yes We Cheesecake last time I checked, they also had FA Milk. They seem to carry some rare flavorings for a North American flavor store.

    Pharaoh Mini Air Flow

    I don’t have any of those, I have the SMM, and the Pharaoh is a bit more open than that to me, but if you like a lot of air flow it’s probably too restrictive. I know I saw one reviewer on YouTube saying he took the locking nut off and liked the airflow better without it, and that the tank...

    Just getting back into vaping

    I haven’t tried it, but the Smok Prince tank has a rebuildable base you can buy. They also have come out with mesh pre made coils for it, that seems to be where sub ohm tanks are heading, mesh coils get good reviews for flavor and longevity. I haven’t tried any though, I stick to RTAs pretty much.

    Pharaoh Mini Air Flow

    Some reviewers have said they took off the locking nut and it has more air flow. I close mine a bit, i don't like it wide open.

    GeekVape Zeus RTA

    I just ordered a Zeus Dual. Has anybody tried a single coil on it? Sometimes I just prefer a single coil, been using one in my Drop RDA and it works well. But, I’ll give the dual coils a go first, looks like a good tank, and with summer hitting and hot temperatures, no leaking sounds great.

    How much juice do you typically keep on hand at any given time?

    I DIY, I have about 3-4 favs I make bigger batches of, 80ml, 100ml. Then I’m usually experimenting with 3-4 others, trying new recipes, usually make 20ml testers of those. I figure a probably vape 400ml to 500ml per a month, I try to make enough mixes so I can let it steep 2 or 3 weeks, try to...

    My first mix by weight!

    I recently switched to weight too, sorry I waited this long, mixing is fun again and not a chore. I got to where I hated pulling out those syringes and washing everything.

    no flavor from DIY E Juice

    With that much flavoring you might be getting vapors tounge and overwhelmed taste buds. And with 4% EM it’s probably muting things too. Bad combination. Everybodys taste is different, but I hardy ever mix anything over 15% flavoring total. And a lot of mixes are under 10%, especially if using...

    Best Smok product

    Smok isn’t the best, and they come out with too much stuff. But I did buy thier x priv a few months ago, found it online for 50 bucks. It’s nice looking and has been solid. If you can find thier stuff priced right, and a look you like, thier stuff can be good. I’m not a big fan of them as a...
