I thought that the Aspire coils were also plated?!?

Do they mean the coil body is nickel plated?

I was thinking these same thoughts and wondered if it's just some Chinienglesh that was written. After finally getting a couple of the Vaporwerx coils given to me, I ran one for a few tanks. First I soaked it in vodka for a few days, then a hot water rinse and a few days to dry...I primed the coil thoroughly and proceeded to vape it starting at 7 watts. No off flavor at first, but performance didn't seem on par with the Nautilus coils. After three fills of my Kabuki, the flavor started going south on this coil. I hadn't pushed it past about 8.5 watts during this time. I dissected the coil and the wicking was turning black, the coil itself was not overly fouled though. I have one more coil which I plan to just prime and use strait out of the blister, but from my experience so far, I will be sticking with Genuine Aspire coils. YMMV

Why, which one do you use, jwb?

I've been vaping Halo Fusion, but I do have some MFS smoke juice I could try in the Kabuki.

I don't have alot of bulk base around the jernt.

Storage would be a problem.

There is that one company that gets raves for its base, if only I could remember the name.. it'll come to me.

Which one, deary? Which nic base do you like? DPL have nic base on our future shopping lists and were thinking of going MFS.
I use Nude Nic, Vapers Tek, and MFS 100 mg/ml in PG , and my PG and VG comes from Essential Depot
4 Gallons PG-VG Crazy Pricing: Essential Depot

P.S. With shipping this costs 16.10 per gallon, or .125 cent per 30 ml of base less nic...
the nic to bring it to 6mg/ml costs .09- .18 cent, ;) or (.21cent- .305 cent per 30 ml vapeable juice, less any flavorants), depending on which nic and when purchased...BTW while I had the site up, I just grabbed a Glycube to put away, heard told this stuff will last for years at room temp, in a dark, quiet place...

Thank you, jwb and E-D. I had considered Nude Nic, but we discussed a few things about it, then promptly forgot about it. Perhaps I'll put them down on our map (future purchases).

Longolino, discuss?

And I'm also shopping for a compact (garage) freezer. I may go for this Danby.

I've read that top lid is the best, because cold air does not easily spill out like a front door model, but then, how often will it need to be opened? I am all set for "supplies ;)" until I can manage a separate freezer ATM... maybe after the first of the year...it's rather comforting to know that one doesn't really "need' anything, for several years forward, just sittin' there on that sack o' seeds...

Nude nic is the one I was thinking of.

But Vapers Tek is one I've looked at too.
Both are really good, Nude offers Argon purged aliquots for long term storage... They are having a big sale ATM too, don't quote me, but I think it's DONTTRAMPLEONME40 for 40% off, a quick search of the DIY section would confirm, but I think it's only got a short time left.

I considered a chest freezer, Enaud, but in all reality, I'd be screaming and freaking out every time I wanted something from the BOTTOM of it. I'll take the door version even if some air spill outs.

KISS!!!!

Thank you for the heads up on NN nic. Perhaps we'll wander over there on a future sale. We really bought quite a bit in the last few dayz. :blink:

Even at non sale prices, you can see by my example, that vaping, excepting coils and hardware, can be almost free, in the grand scheme of things. At least, inexpensive enough that it seems to be free, so that kind of puts the gear hoarding into a little different perspective, no? ;)

Before I discovered the E.D. pg and vg, I was using Mount Baker Vapor stuff, which wasn't bad, but then I tasted the unflavored base made with E.D. pg and vg, and there was a huge difference to me, at least. You can also find them on Amazon in quart sizes if space is a problem.

Oh no...are they that bad???
Did you have a bad shopping experience with them?


Sent from my i6S+

Sorry for the delay, real life distracted me for a while...

No problems with shopping. In fact, I asked a question via email and got a reply pretty quickly.

The coils weren't horrible but they wouldn't be my choice over the genuine Aspire. As ENAUD noted, they were pretty light on flavor. I also noticed the short life. As for the nickel plating, the only difference I saw was that they seemed to be a bit shinier than an Aspire. I didn't have any problems with the shell construction itself.

At the same time, I also bought a box of their coils to fit a Kanger Pro Tank 3. They had less flavor than the Nautilus version.

I was really hoping for them to be good, but as I mentioned I don't think I'll be buying more. I honestly don't feel as if I was scammed or anything it's just that they don't seem to do as well as the authentics.
