the giantomizers don't wick as well as something like the map tank.

vapspaz, kens boxmods has the 2.4./2.6 xl and reg in stock.

The maps are huge though. I want to make one though and use it on my Provari. I hear they work great, I just can't justify $30 for a monster sized E2. lol
Thanks for the heads up on kens boxmods. I never looked over there! Shaweeet!


Someone I know is making mini tanks...he's sending me one to try out...sounds neat!

Pssst.... Hook a friend up there darlin! lol How mini is mini? 3ml sized?


Oh..... And a big Thank ya to Don. I just got home from work and there was a purdy package full of our favorite BWB's! I couldn't wait for the Applewood to steep so I popped that puppy open and loaded some up in my atty on the Provari. I gotta say I'm in shock. Every time we have gotten a fresh batch of Applewood we let it steep for a bit because months and months ago when we first ordered it, we found it a bit too strong at first. But this stuff is spot on right out of the mail box this time. We've been out for a good while now and I forgot how much I love this stuff. lol I gotta go load some of this up into the wifes Phidias. I'll bet Applewood really shines in that puppy!

Thank you Don!

Hey everyone,
Got home today to find that I had a package from Don and from Iken!!! Woot!!!!

To clarify that post I had made about questioning my Dr. about her wanting to know if I was weaning myself off of vaping...
It isn't the nicotine that she is talking about, its everything juice related. That was why I was like...yeah sure I will just go back to smoking.

I agree with ejoker about the feeling that I am starting to believe that there is quite a bit of mental addiction going on with the nic levels. It makes me wonder if someone sent me a bottle of juice that had the strength blanked out on it if I would evemn be able to tell what nic level it is. Now I am sure I could probably tell if it was 0 nic when I vape first thing in the morning.

As everyone knows I hae almost become a totally exclusive casablanca vaper. I have accumulated bottles of every single strength available and mix accordingly to achieve a desired nicotine strength. Currently, I am vaping 15mg in the a.m. and then it goes to 12mg for the afternoon into the evening. That said though I have been throwing around the idea of maybe trying to dro pmy level down even more.

I remember when I first started vaping I had that whole mentality more is better concerning nicotine level. Before I found BWB I had ordered a sample pack from a different vendor in 36mg. It was a big mistake!!!!! I got really bad headaches and an achy feeling all over my body from vaping that high of a level. It was almost as if around 8pm I would come down with the flu every night. At first I thought that maybe I was having a bad reaction to PG but when I started vaping 24mg juice it subsided. Until that is, I found BWB, vaping 24mg juice from Don put me right back in that flu-like feeling. Realizing it had to be the nic because the sheer amount of juice I was vaping was much higher with BWB, I lowered again and have been slowly dong so now for the past couple months.

Basically, I personally think that being I haven't touched a tobacco product in a little over 3 months and have lowered my nic level successfully it an accomplishment to be proud of and I just got a little ticked that my Dr. would just wave that off and move to the next thing I'm doing wrong and should think about stopping.

Never when I was smoking was she this persistant about me quitting, suddenly when I have been vaping for awhile she jumped down my throat.

Oh well, sorry about the rant, hopo everyone has a good night.

Thanks for posting that Up. I have been having some of the same symptoms and I had decided to cut my nic level do to other issues. I hope some of the flu stuff clears up as I drop down. I ordered some 0 nic flavors of my dailies and they should be here Friday. I will work on the others a little at a time.

i started at around 24mg, and cut down regularly. the hardest drop was from 6mg to zero, i bounced back n forth for awhile. i can't say for certain if it was a nic dependency, or just a mental block, but eventually it took. as i decreased nic, so went the TH. sometimes i would use additives for extra TH, but eventually realized that was a mental thing, and i didn't need it at all.

that said, there are some juices that have a natural TH - the obvious one being strong cinnamon. i find (and some others have as well) that some of bwb juices have a natural TH, those being ry4 and ejoker blend, and to a lesser extent casablanca. i've not tried all of don's wares, but would imagine most of his tobacco's would carry a modicum of TH as well. mind you, not like you would get from nic, but satisfying enough for me and the people i know who use 0nic.

i've had some nic juice lately, and i can tell you i no longer care for either the flavor or the feeling of nicotine. for me, nic actually detracts from flavor enjoyment. and vaping for me is all about flavor and vapor.

i don't discourage those who use/enjoy nic to keep on keeping on, but if you're interested in dropping/cutting your nic usage - its not nearly as hard as quitting tobacco.

Did you ever find it harder to concentrate with the lower nic level ejoker?

Same here. That's why I'm weaning myself off of nicotine. Maybe I'll stay at 3mg or 6mg but it has to be lower than my current which is 12mg. I tend to over-nic once in a while ;)

Gonna have to acclimate myself on the small incremental changes to the nic level before dropping further so it's not rushed at all.

FWIW...I started at 18 mg. After a couple of weeks, I bought some 12mg of the same flavors and started mixing it with the 18mg until I was finished with bottles of 18mg. I then stayed at 12mg for a couple of more weeks and then bought some 6mg and mixed that with the 12 until I was done with the 12mg. I've been with the 6mg since. I also have some 0mg but I'm not ready for that yet although I sometimes vape the 0 at night in my ego.

I started thinking I was vaping too much so I bought some bottles of 12mg for during the day. That was a mistake. I no longer like the taste of the 12mg juices for some reason. So now I have 6-30ml bottles of Don's juices that I don't like because like a fool I ordered them all at the same time. I'm going over to the BWB swap thread and see if anyone wants to swap them for 6mg juices.

My goal is eventually to get to 0mg. Just not how sure it's gonna take me. But for the time being, I'm sticking with 6mg.

Heya Up -- comments in line:

I agree with ejoker about the feeling that I am starting to believe that there is quite a bit of mental addiction going on with the nic levels. It makes me wonder if someone sent me a bottle of juice that had the strength blanked out on it if I would evemn be able to tell what nic level it is. Now I am sure I could probably tell if it was 0 nic when I vape first thing in the morning.

Honestly, I'm beginning to believe the whole 'addiction' thing is a farce also -- funny, you put a lid on a jar of fleas, and after bumping their heads repeatedly whilst attempting to pounce out, realize their efforts are in vain and they stop jumping so high 'cuz it hurts. Take the lid off? They still won't attempt to leave the jar -- along the lines of Pavlov's dog theory -- I am now of the mind that 'addiction' was more 'conditioning' and that once we take a stand and address our 'conditioning' our 'addiction' fades. Could it also be that we're being conditioned that 0 nic won't deliver? I'm laddering down now and will have the answer from first hand experience soon...

As everyone knows I hae almost become a totally exclusive casablanca vaper.

Hear, hear!!! Casa is in the house!!!

Basically, I personally think that being I haven't touched a tobacco product in a little over 3 months and have lowered my nic level successfully it an accomplishment to be proud of and I just got a little ticked that my Dr. would just wave that off and move to the next thing I'm doing wrong and should think about stopping.

Sounds like my wife (LOL!) But, gawd! I love that woman!

Anyway, good insight Up!
