I love the way certain flavours keep you guessing. Every hit gives you a new variation of taste.I get vaper's tongue really easily so complex liquids seem to work for me, keep my tastebuds on their toes so to speak.
I've never tried any P.O.E.T liquids, but their flavour descriptions seem to hit similar notes. I wish you could get them in the UK, so far I've only tried Dragonscape which was another one of the njoy collection.

I love her ac juice. Actually going to order more of that too since njoy have that nice 40% off first order straight from them. Hedons bite i also love. The dragonscape meh, quality good just not my kind of taste.

Very exciting :)

I hope the new eu regs don't put her and her man out of work

I had a serious Hedon's Bite addiction for a while:D.I've had to give it a break for a bit.
Things are rough for French vapers that's for certain. A lot of mixed messages here in the EU.

Zen, can I ask a really important question please regarding the Kabuki. I know you've said your 'Kabuki packaging' drip tip works well, but what would you consider to be the best inner diameter for a drip tip (ie the diameter of the hole) for the Kabuki? I have both wide bore and narrow bore (4mm) tips and prefer the narrow bore Ming style ones, but I'll be getting a custom drip tip made and the maker considers 2.5mm or 3mm the ideal size for the best flavour, but am unsure if such a narrow bore would work well with the Kabuki airflow. If it's any help I draw gently, preferring the coil to do the work (hey, I'm lazy!), inhaling the vapor produced rather than trying to force air through the device (if that makes sense). Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ali.

Just out of curiosity, Chuff; have you a preference? I know that my changes, sometimes liking a wider bore, but at others a smaller option. I'm just wondering if you've identified what works best for you yet. After all, it is the only opinion that really matters.

Everyone who listens to my audio system is amazed at the sound quality, which is, I have to admit, rather good! My speakers? A stacked pair of B&W DM2 Mk2's from the mid 1970's. So yes, that's two pairs, two speakers each side of the fireplace, one on top of the other. In their day they were excellent speakers and IMO still are. But, maybe surprisingly, stacking them transforms them into something really special. Speaker cable? Mains electric cable! Power amps? Behringer! Definitely not audiophile territory. But as I say, everyone who comes to listen is amazed at the sound quality and that is what counts.
I remember my old man having a pair of Duntech Sovereign speakers running three valve amps per speaker. The duntechs were 7ft tall and had 7 drivers each. The warmth of the sound paired with the valve amps was amazing. I was 13-14 years old when we had that setup and even though I was listening to NWA and the like I could sit and listen to opera on those things for hours. It was an amazing experience.

I definitely prefer the narrow bore, the draw from the wide bore tips are just too airy for me. I also prefer the ming vase style tips, they fit my lips better than other types.

The CherryVapes Mings I have are 3mm bore. I believe that was the common "bore" size for tips for years. This is the measurement of the hole on the bottom, not the top opening.

Most customs have steel bases and bore these days, so it's good to know the size bore you like.

I only use 2 1/2; 3 or 3 1/2 mm bore on all of my "toppers", Kabuki included, of course.

Well now, you need to be careful with that advice about the 2.5MM bore... because MANY of the guys using wide open drippers can only get flavor if they create a restriction at the output. These days it is quite common to see that in "flavor chasers". But those are guys with screwed up, wide open airflow to start with.

I like it a little wider than that... but if I'm being honest, I don't give it a whole lot of thought. I range from 3.5 mm to as wide as 7mm. Let your senses be the guide! You could try buying some cheapo Asian tips in a variety of sizes, before having that custom made tip built.

Where do you find toppers with that small of a bottom inner diameter? And/or where do they list the sizes for tips they're selling?

In other words - some recommendations please? :)

Just to clarify -- I'm talking about the size of the hole on the bottom of the drip tip. Most tips do fit most toppers---that unknown dimension is supposed to be relatively standard "510" drip tip -- though not many call them that these days.

Most custom fabricated tips have a metal base and bore attached that goes inside the "fancy part". Most custom places will tell you the size of the bore. SOME readymades will.

The ones I like the best are Pinnacles and Molehills -- and both tell the size of the bore.

WAIT!

Was I supposed to measure these? It's not even all of them!

I am SO skrued.
