Happy Monday all!! This is going to be a short month for Giveaways.. So I am going to drop this as the challenge for Apollo's giveaway this month!

** Tell me what type of Gimicks would you like to see when your purchasing juice? Whats going to draw you to look more at the product? **
Example - Certain bottle, t-shirts, stickers, hats, free juice, glow in the dark bottle?

** Be creative and tell us some Ideas. **

Companies like us, love our customers feedback

Next Giveaway for this month is on 3/19/16

Thank you from Apollo and Vapinjoe925
Bumper stickers are great advertisement.
When I order stuff online, simplicity makes all the difference. I'll take ease of ordering over gimmicks lol.
Rewards programs for loyal customers, buy 5 bottles, get the sixth free. Order four times, free gift on next order.
Mech Mods and rda's, I'd love to see more on Apollo. Why have two separate sites that sell the same gear, with one selling mech mods and the other one doesn't.
I need more coffee :D
Good mornin everyone :)
 
Good morning room! There are some great ideas coming out of this post. So far, T-shirts is a big thing, bumper stickers are harder as it would have to fit in packaging. Pricing is always going to be a issue but we @ apollo try to keep the numbers low.

Now my thoughts on glass to squeeze bottles. I personally don't like using a drip top on a glass bottle. I tend to do something bad "Drip and Drive". So all my juice that is sold in a glass bottle goes into a Unicorn 30 mil bottle. I prefer a unicorn over anything out there.

OK folks. I am going to be at the So Cal Vape Convention for the next few days. This convention is being held in San Diego. If you live in the area, come find me. I would love to meet you. I will check in here on Friday morning! Everyone have a great afternoon and Thursday as well. - Vapinjoe925

The general rule is you want the cotton snug so it will give a little resistance when pulling it through the coil. You don't want it so tight that it chokes off the juice flowing to the coil. However, if you look into the Scottish Roll wicking method, they pack it super, super tight. That seems to wick fine even though it is way tighter than one would think.

Have a question. When wicking is it better to have alot of cotton and fit snug in the coils or is it better to have a loose fit. To get best cloud and flavor.

Generally you want it tight enough to catch in the coil as you pull it through, not so tight that it distorts the coil.

If using rayon (my favored wick material) you want it even tighter then cotton, the wick should have "shoulders" where it is in tight enough to puff out on either side of the coil, then trim the tails down smaller....

This is rayon, notice how it puffs out on each side of the coil.

with cotton, you want to ensure that there are no areas inside the coil that doesn't have positive contact between wick and coil, or that will create a hot spot and give you harsh burnt flavor.

Good morning everyone! Anyone else about tired of rain? Been raining non stop here since Tuesday afternoon.

It's a fine line between brilliant and blech :p
Rayon is an even finer line, but totally worth it once you get it. I can't use premade coils with cotton now because of the funny taste.
