I've tried the Real Extracts teas (Chai, Darjeeling, Earl Grey and Moroccan Mint) and found them so subtle I could hardly tell what I was tasting/smelling. YMMV of course. Kinda sad because I was really looking forward to them (they sounded delicious). So far my faves are coffee, ginger...

Hi all! I've been quite happy with my new Atopack device for taste-testing different juices -- just drip some juice on the cotton, let it soak, try it out for a few puffs, then throw the cotton away and start a new flavour. It seems to pass the flavour through accurately -- tastes better than...

Oh, sorry my bad, I forgot to mention I was searching in Canada. I did find one at a US vendor but they wouldn't ship outside the US... will keep looking.

My hubby bought one of these and it's quite a nice unit. I was thinking of getting him a 2nd one as a gift but... everywhere I look they are out of stock! is this model discontinued? anyone know whether Kanger will be making more of them, or are they a dead end? [update] looking further...

Actually I'm hoping to substitute vaping for snacking, it's kind of a weight loss thing. I like to snack while reading or watching a movie, and I'm hoping that I could reprogram that habit and just enjoy the taste of a zero-calorie vape instead (if I can just find some flavours I really like)...

I tried to be very gentle swapping cottons -- it is darned fiddly trying to get the little square into the hole, while holding the trapdoor open. I found that closing the trapdoor sort of packed the wick into place properly. Practise will improve my technique I'm sure. And the pods are not so...

I just tried the "Magic Atopack" device you recommended (it came in the mail while I was away, just got back); it seems to be just the ticket! Took me a while to figure out the "trapdoor" -- the manual really doesn't offer a clue -- to get at the cotton. A YT video helped :-) I tried just...

(followed by some very useful information!) thanks! yup, dropping into the vape tech scene as an ignoramus is an alice-in-wonderland experience no matter how many jargon dictionaries I try to absorb. terminologically speaking, I'm underwater and sinking fast! but your answer to my ignorant...

Best reply yet! I only want the RDA for evaluating juice flavours... keep trying to explain that, and you seem to have understood. I can happily use a tank device (for casual "snacking" while reading, say) later -- once I find out which flavours I like. So your usage pattern here is a good...

@GOMuniEsq: hipster ha ha :-) I'm over 60 and mostly into exploring the possibility of substituting tasty vaping for snacking, which I have a bad habit of doing absentmindedly when reading etc. So taste is all important :-) Also I have no idea what equipment is pretentious and what is cheap...

Awww HigherStateD, I'm still trying to figure out which threads are compatible with which, and you want me to start doing chemistry experiments as well? Gimme a few months :-)

Hey vapemeisters Newbie here, struggling up the learning curve and still bewildered by the wild variety of hardware and acronyms and so on. I'm not really in it for the active ingredients (no nic, maybe just a smidge of CBD now and then) but rather for the taste, the amusement of the hobby...

Update (I was off on a sailing trip for a while)... when I returned I found nifty boxes in the mail with mini flavour samples of high-vg all-natural juices from Kai's, VV, Kind etc. Haven't even begun to work my way through them yet, but I did get a (disposable) drip atomiser and "drip tip"...

@Walter great link, thanks. They offer a whole page of real tea extracts -- from basic Earl Gray to really delicate specialty teas like Moroccan Mint... I'll have to give those a try one of these days!

Thanks HigherStateD, I checked Hangsen's web site (very sloooow) and didn't see any actual claim that their flavours are natural. Plenty of language about "pure" and so on, but no language actually describing the flavourings used. OTOH they get some pretty good reviews, and apparently they're...

Hi vapdivrr! Thanks for the warning about viscosity. I have read that I can, with care, dilute with distilled water and/or food grade ethanol (i.e. vodka or Everclear) to ensure easier flow. That is my plan for any super high vg that I try out. I have already tried a PG/VG of 30/70 with...

After some disappointment with mainstream e-juices (I don't find artificial flavours convincing) I have been on a search for juices flavoured with actual fruit and plant extracts rather than synthetic chemical compounds. Some find the artificial flavours tasty, but I don't -- I can tell the...

Thanks for the friendly concern Charlie! Knowing my lungs are kind of sensitive I'm just holding the vape in my mouth and letting it out the nose without deep breathing. It doesn't trigger coughing or any irritation so I think it's pretty safe. Also I'm over 60 so I don't have time to build...

I have found quite a wide range of non-synthetic flavours -- some are organic, even -- online... and have this time ordered SMALL bottles and sample sizes where possible :) live and learn, eh. will report back -- could be a while though as I have to travel soon and will be leaving before my...

OK, OK... the inevitable n00b experience is that you buy all the wrong gear at first. I'm used to that. I only got the Kangers for taste-testing 'cos they were cheap and had small reservoirs -- guess that was a bad move! -- so I'll keep looking for better toys. Looks like the battery bases...
