A little about Fijian Nights. When I first received it and tried it (after steeping of course) it was rather so so. Tried it in multiple setup's and they all gave very little flavor. It seamed there had to be more there than what I could taste

Along comes my attempts at rebuilding Vivi novas - and now with cotton wicks. WOW, what a difference. Rum and coconut come through nicely. It is an exotic cocktail and brings back memories of the Virgin Islands. It is better than it smells now. Been vaping it all day today! This new setup is bringing life to my liquids!

Did some checking, decided to order the Legacy with a Kick today as my birthday present. Looks really sweet and everything is positive about it. I have been wanting something as a backup to my other PV's and this fit the bill. Also wanted to try VW.

Not a bad way to go! I prefer the Puresmoker Legacy because it's mechanical and the bottom button is actually really nice, but the SB's a great device too.

I bought a secondhand Reo Mini and love it. Only negative is that if I feel like changing flavors I have to vape through whatever is left in the mod. I'm no hygiene stickler but the thought of pouring used juice back into the bottle makes me feel icky. :unsure: Otherwise it works really well and doesn't mind if I drop it on a slate floor every once in a while.

Thanks for the update! I have Fijian Nights on the way, and I'm a little unsure of my decision, as someone else mentioned it might be a little mild in the flavor department. Which PG/VG ratio do you have? Too bad I have never tried to build my own wicks & coils, becuase I'm just really bad a stuff like that...so I'll be vaping this with the stock versions of the vivi novas.

Excellent choice! I think you'll be happy with your birthday present!

Another nice mod! There shouldn't be much room for cross-contamination by emptying the contents of the squonk bottle back into a storage bottle, should there? In other words, wouldn't it just be like transferring the juice from one bottle to another?

A little off-topic, but I know we have some VMODIANS here:

My squonk bottle, upon a squonk, is leaking out from where it screws in. Is there a common fix for this?

The bottle itself? It may need adjusting. Or you might need a new bottle. They sell them in 2 packs for like 2 bucks at vapage. I just bought 6. I noticed that when that top of the bottle itself starts to get some wear down, there can be some leakage but the new bottle cured the problem. Aside from that, I am not sure.

Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of. One of my bottles seems to not have a strong vacuum seal, and the other one is leaking when I squonk. Since I bought the VMOD they have been out of bottles to purchase (for the 2.0, so I can't order more. I wish I knew that they would be out of bottles for so long prior to purchasing the device itself. :(

I would definitely head over to the Vmod thread over at the Ecig video reviews, or Liquid Feed APV discussion threads and see if there are any experienced members that have some temporary "how-to's" to get you through until you can get some more bottles from Vapage. You might even be able to run a search for this topic as well. I'm sorry I don't have more helpful advice...I hope they get them back in stock soon for you.:(

Already there. I also got in touch with Vapage live-chat, but all they are saying is that I can send the chasis back if I think it is cracked (which I don't think). I want to thank you and Tex for being so awesome in trying to help me trouble-shoot this thing. You folks are amazing people. :)

hijack over! My Ahlusion order might be here tomorrow!

hi all...I finally dug into my new ahlusion juices (some of them anyway) that were steeping and I just wanted to share my thoughts on these, and I recall one person wanted to know how the Kiwi Sea was so here goes. For both of these, these being Kiwi Sea and Boba's Tea (plain) I accidentally ordered 70vg/30pg instead of my usual. I didn't even realize this until I went to use them lol, but that's ok because they are both incredible. Boba's Tea plain - I wanted to get plain first to get the original flavor notes and then perhaps order with fruit later on. This is a very good juice and even at 12mg and my goofup on the pg/vg ratio has a nice TH, which I like.

It reminds me a lot of another vendor's juice that I had, and even though it's great now, I think it's still needs a wee bit more time to meld. Right now I am definitely getting coconut undertones but there is definitely something else going on there. Iit is really hard to put down as it is. It's awesome!

Kiwi Sea - I ordered this one as sweet kiwi with the breeze option. This flavor is spot on. The breeze really sets it off (for me). A more delicate flavor, there is nothing candy going on here. This one has become a favorite fast (right up there with melon-berry frost). Again it's not my usual ratio of pg/vg so I'm not sure how that would change it. All I know is its gooood.

Others I tried but still need more time are raspberry sunset (very candyish to me right now) and mango colada.

As always no chemical weird funky things going on, very clean juices, and I'm one happy vaper. Cheers!

Remind me again, Ax, what do you have coming? :)

30ml Car-Mal Mambo (I've been vaping primarily HHV/BWB tobaccos with the exception of Ahlusion Boba Tea. Car-Mal Mambo is by far my favorite non-tobacco vape, and I blew threw a 10 ml bottle like it was water).

30ml Caramel Pear Black Tea. I am SOOOO looking forward to this. I love caramel, pears, and black tea. How could this go wrong?

10ml Smooth Criminal. 9 out of 10 Mr. Manns can't be wrong! :)

10ml Masala Chai with no nic for my fiancee (I'm loving my nic version)

10ml Berry Shangri-La Tea with no nic for my fiancee. This also give me the opportunity to steal some drops to see if I want to order it with nic.

I really should have stocked up on more Boba Tea though!

Be sure to send them a message back saying that this isn't what you think it is. Ask them about the bottle seal that Smiliee was talking about and also ask them about the possibility or rigging your current feed bottles. If you take your cover off and do a test squonk..tell them in detail exactly what you are seeing. Don't give up! Let me know how it turns out.

Yeah - I went through all of the details with them, and they weren't much help. I think my best bet is to wait until more bottles come in stock. If that's the problem, I'll be happy since I'll be ordering a ton of them. If that doesn't work, the whole thing is being sent back! I'll keep you posted. :)
