Have you ever tried thinning the VG with distilled water. You could try anywhere from 1% up to 20% depending on what thickness is best for you. Sure makes working with the ingredients much easier to handle and does not change the taste of your recipe. Just a thought.
I am going to guesstimate 15ml per day. I think higher VG content would probably gunk stuff up quicker.

7 ml. Ideally rewick once or twice a week of continuous use, new coil once a month of continuous use. Fresh wick and coil seem to promote throat hit. Typical build lately is 26 AWG, 420F, 25 max watts. DIY uses 1% flavoring, no sweeteners.

. . . Especially, given what people are saying about how much they vape during the Day . . . Depending on what I am using, I only vape anywhere from 2.5 - 4 ml a day/day & a half if that - of 50/50 Unflavored 24 NIC (1 MOD has a .08 Coil - creates more vapor I do not inhale). . . Funny thing is I used to smoke 2 1/2 - 4 PAD depending on activity & mood . . . Just Sayin' . . . .

I suspect there's a lot of us in that camp, Uncle. I run about 4 ml a day, at 18, has kept me off smoke for a long time.
I'm starting to question why I bought 20 rbas for the crown tanks. I was going through a stack on case I have full of old tanks and found eight more rba's I had ordered a long time ago from FT. They didn't come with the screwdriver but I don't need them. After all, there's 20 of them with the cheap rba's I bought.
Because RBAs can be recoiled/rewicked in one sitting, then you can put them in a baggie or a little box or whatever (to keep them from getting debris inside them) and carry them around with you just like you would carry a pack of drop-ins.
Also, like everything else, RBAs don't last forever - things break, screws/parts get lost, etc. "Too many" RBAs means you have parts to cannibalize when you lose/break parts on them. Sure you can probably buy screws that fit/work, but you won't find them at a big box store. So in order to buy the right ones, you have to know how to measure them accurately as well as figure out what the thread spacing/coarseness is - not easy to do, especially on such small screws.
If you're willing and able to build/rebuild, RBAs are golden in a vapocalypse situation. The more, the better, IMHO.
That's a good idea. I should take them all out of the packages and get rid of the screwdrivers and build them all so they are ready to go.
Then the question is, do you have enough glass and gaskets to last as long as the 20 RBAs?
I have nine of the original crown tanks with the extra glass and oring bags that were included. Some are unopened. They have been sitting in storage for a long time. I lost track of time and don't know the last time I used a crown tank.
How can you get rid of something that you do not have? Magic? lol
The ones from FT didn't come with the screwdrivers but the 20 I bought recently did. It was nice how they sent them in two long boxes of ten each.
Well the worst possible scenario happened to my morning commute this morning. Left for work without my bottle of juice, my backup device, or my pod mod that could have gotten me through the whole day. Was left with my Juul I leave at work and some terrible strawberry off-brand pod. I'm saving the last bit of juice in my mod for the drive home. Knew this setup wasn't going to get me through the day and was considering leaving work early until the unthinkable happened...
I went to the convenience store and bought a 2-pack of Classic Tobacco Juul pods for $10.79 (rip off). The biggest surprise out of all of this? They really aren't that bad, like I don't mind vaping this flavor. Quite the surprise to me. I let a coworker who vapes Juul only try it and she had a similar reaction "Wow that's really not bad." Truly surprised, I might even turn my auto ship back on to get this free carry/charge case.

Good to know if I am ever in a similar situation. I have no clue how the Juul pods work. I assume you have to buy the Juul device, replacement pods and coils? Approximately how much does it cost to be able to use the Juul the first time? Just ballpark stuff, please. $20, $30 or more?
They're selling the battery for $9.99 right now, typically $29.99 but it's been that way for a couple months. So assuming $10 device and 2 pods for a rip off price of $10, you could get started with $20. The only big drawback about using this as a worst case scenario is that you'd have to charge the battery, but that can be done in about an hour or less.
Oh yes, that would be a drawback if you are just on your way to work or home from work and want to vape during the drive. Thanks Hak!
