I mixed up some Bosenberry & Blackberry to replace the Blackberry Crumble. Not bad. Trying to save my coil! LOL
Let me know how it works out. I have had bad luck with Blackberry and Raspberry flavorings oxidizing my kanthal coils and turning the juice in the tank black.

I wonder if this can be avoided by using SS wire instead of Kanthal.

I caved and ordered 2 Zenith Pro tanks from Hoosiers, hope they make it ok!
I could be tempted by that tank, if I weren't so heavily invested in the Nautilus ecosystem with all the coils I have. I'm expecting delivery of four Nautilus GTs in the next few days. Sure don't want to attempt stocking up on yet another system. I only bought the GTs because I already have a lifetime supply of coils for them.

Are these as good for MTL as the regular Zenith tanks? Have you tried the Zlide tanks?
I have the regular Zenith and Zlides, I like the Pro best. I ordered a couple last month and should have picked up a few more then. But kept waiting talking myself out of it, then I thought I better get them now and hope they make it!

My juice is turning darker in the tank. Maybe I should try straight boysenberry, I have it in pie & jam and it is tasty :)

Yeah I was afraid of that. That is why I quit using Raspberry or blackberry flavorings.

Maybe SS coils would make a difference but I have never really used them.

I will try it once I get the ambition to coil up an RTA LOL I have been so lazy lately & just using my Zenith's, they have me spoiled. But I think a KFL+ is a better vape :)

It's no different than using Kanthal, it just requires more wraps to get the same the same resistance because SS wire has a very low resistance.

Just as an example, to get 1 ohm on Kanthal A1 28g wire with a 2.5mm inner diameter coil, you need about 5 wraps. Same gauge with 316L SS wire you'd need about 10 wraps.

SS is safe for use in wattage mode (unlike Ni200) and lots of vapers prefer it over Kanthal (cleaner taste they say, but I notice no difference lol).

I taste a huge difference. It's amazing how taste buds differ, eh? And after dry burning SS and NiCr, they give off a horrible taste. But then again YMMV. I never dry burned Ni200 (TC), but I am fine vaping it unlike some. Not too impressed with Titanium (TC), but some swear by it. And Kanthal taste the same to me after dry burning. Although sometimes Kanthal can leave an iron taste.

Last order from nicotine giant was dropped at the door via ups. They didn’t even knock, just dropped and left.

We got our first 'adult signature' vape package yesterday. My wife met the mailman at the mailbox. He had our mail and 3 packages. She said one of the packages may require a signature, do I have to sign for anything.

He replied, "No, I signed it for you. I know only you and your husband live here". :D

My Gearbest 4PX/DHL Ecommerce order has been sitting at the Stow, OH holding facility for 7 days now, waiting for USPS to pick it up. That's the longest I've seen a package sit there.

Posting this here because it seems every time I post a shipping issue to ECF, the package is miraculously delivered next day or 2 :lol:

I had the same issue with the transfer between DHL Ecommerce and USPS, except mine was delayed for 1 month.
