Simple review time! Got mah vape mail de Dino.

Donut run: definitely gotta let this steep but first impression is good. Definitely taste the glazed donut. The first drip was in an atty that had slim's ejuice "COPYRIGHTDMCA of the fruit" (fruity COPYRIGHTDMCA with a heavy on the lemony) lingering in it. I have to tell you, the only thing I like in a donut is cream or lemon jelly. Accidental awesomeness! Then I tried it on my other dripper. The donut stayed true. Its going to be AMAZING at the week mark.

Berry ice cream: sooo fruity nice. Impressive. Really enjoying this.

Blue moon ice cream: this was a gamble for me and honestly not having any familiarity with the ice cream I have to say it confuses me. I don't really get what I'm tasting....YET. A little help?

Twisted Peppermint: previously the only peppermint I own is from virgin vapor. It's amazing, true and cloyingly sweet, which I'm a fan of. But after trying Dino's it is a totally unexpected and differently yummy experience. This is a powerhouse peppermint and I LOVE it. Its peppermint. What more can you say!

Going to be doing a giveaway on ECF this weekend for a Kamry Robot mod & juice, along with a 20% off sale till Mon. The coupon code is going to be "laborday20"
Anyone have any big plans for the longer weekend?

Saturday, I'm going to a Muy Thai stadium where I will watch men who weigh 100 pounds whale away on each other, and know they could whup me (at 6'1", 230lbs) with minimal effort.

Sunday, I'm gonna ride an elephant and see the world's biggest reclining Buddha.

In between all of that, homework and hopefully putting an order in. *Edit* got the order in. Priorities :laugh:

I'm proud of my fiscal self-discipline with this order. That DNA box is really calling my name, but I have to get straight from the move and build up the coffers - not so much because of the unit cost, which is pretty darn fantastic for that kind of technology, but because of all the juice I'd be blazing through with it!

Donut Run and Full Blue Moon are in there...I'm extremely curious about both. Even when I lived in Michigan I don't think I had Blue Moon ice cream, so this'll be quite a new taste from what I'm hearing. And donuts? Please - that's a no-brainer!

I know right? For 20% off I'm stil considering it but I Soooo want orange and I Sooooo want the 100watt so I'm making myself wait.

I didn't even factor in the discount. Dino is extraordinarily accommodating of my unique situation, and saving $10 on a liquid order kind of feels like cheating given the extra effort he's willing to put in for my orders. Had I thrown that DNA30 in, I might have used it, but......still need to stockpile enough liquid to make sure it won't be sitting forlornly on the shelf before I buy something like that first!

Ah Blue Moon Ice cream. One of the upper Midwest mysteries.

Here's a wiki on it...
Blue Moon (ice cream) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And here's some background...
Melting the Mystery of Blue Moon Ice Cream

My first experience with Blue Moon was at the Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream on State Street in Madison. Good stuff when you're a kid... Kinda holy moley that's an interesting flavor when you're an adult. I haven't had any of it for a long long time.

Blue Moon is my favorite ice cream. Cedar Crest brand more specifically. That brand has a creamy almond base with a bit of a citrus-fruity undertone. Dino's Full Blue Moon is nothing like that particular ice cream, but I love it too for what it is. It lives in one of my Kayfuns. Actually currently vaping it. :D Instead of almond, I think it has a coconut base, but as many mills as I have vaped I can't pick that one apart. Heh.

Dino - a couple drops of the lime perked the cheesecake up perfectly for me, thanks. :)

You know, I'd start with a FRESH coil and see of that helps. Even alcohol can leave a residue. And coils wil go bad after a while. They just won't taste good. The reason I ask about your ohms is because protanks don't perform very well under 1.5 ohms. AND if you're at high nic with lower resistences it can gunk up the flavor.


Ok so I built a fresh coil 1.6 ohms with 28 gauge (on my MVP2) and the flavor didn't change. I'm sure some of this is subjective... Just figured I'd see what other people thought.

So far, 30 gauge coil with a 3/32" diameter at 1.6 ohms runs better on my MVP then 28 gauge at the same stats. Too bad I hadn't figured this out sooner, but oh well. Life moves on.

A while back I won a hana DNA30 Mod clone (cana), and I got it in the mail today. It is scratched up a bit and has some spots on the front and back like something was spilled on it and stained it, but I won it for free so I do not care :)

Yeah, science is all about experimentation. I just wish my spool of 28 gauge was as cheap as the 30 gauge I just ordered. My 28 gauge came from one of the companies I was working for at the time. They ordered from TEMCo once a week and I told them to order me up a 50 foot spool of it. The guy told me $12 when I went to go pick it up... I was like meh... that's life I guess....

Come to find out I could have ordered it right from TEMCo for less and on ebay it's free shipping where as if you order it through TEMCo you have to pay shipping.

Picked up 100 feet of 30 gauge for like $5.60. Wont be so cheap with this stuff, new coils every time :D

I get mine way cheaper on eBay. But its hit and miss with unavailability.

So did it come in packaging? Or just something used?
Inside the box it was shipped in the mod was wrapped in bubble wrap inside of a little black box. The contest did not say it was used, but I do wonder. Another thing I wonder is on the contest they had a link to a picture of the Hana Mod, and I can not find the stainless steel non logo one that I got.

Update on the cana mod dna 30 I was talking about earlier. I noticed one of the screws were almost stripped when I went to put the battery in, so I made sure after I put the battery in that I did not twist it to tight with my fingers. After only hitting the power button 5 to 6 times I noticed that it was getting harder and harder to push, and then I looked at it and saw the button was caving in. So I took it apart and seen where the power button was hot glued to the side of the mod and the hot glue had come loose. When I went to take the clear red cover off it activated and I heard my coil in my tank heating up.....and I pulled the battery out really fast.....it scared me a bit. I do not have a hot glue gun so I do not know what to do to fix the power button. It kinda scares me, because it is not reliable, and I just will not use something that cannot be trusted. I seen a few different patches of glue in it and I saw where the positive and negative slots for the battery were welded. I do not know if that is normal. Oh well! Lol I am just thankful I had no money in this! Lol I do not know if they sell these (I could not find them on their site) or not, but if this company does then I hope people who have purchased this did not get one in the condition mine was in expecially after waiting so long to get it :)
