Beat the Winter blues Contest

[kathi17]

After looking at the tanks people want in their contest posts, PowerBand has decided to give the winner more choices. If the winner chooses the istick instead of the store credit, they can now choose between the innokin I clear XI, the Mini protank 3, the Mini Aerotank, the iclear 30B or the iclear 30S.

So now you can customize your prize even more!

3. Do you DIY your own juice?

I DIY most of my own juices. I bought a lot of juices when I first started vaping and almost all fell short of my expectations plus put a major strain on my pocketbook. I can choose my flavor, my pg/vg ratio, even the type of bottle. If I make something and the flavor isn't quite right for me, I can generally make it better. Just love being able to personalize and create. I also save a great deal of $$$ by making my own.

Yes, there are some juices out there that I would dearly love to try but consider them too expensive these days, and then add shipping and I just can't bring myself to pay the prices... these aren't the uber high end juices, would say mid range but still... I can buy 2 gallons of milk for the price of a 15 ml bottle of juice that I may or may not like.

2-18

That's why I started DIY, not only the cost, but I usually find that premade juices aren't quite what I expected them to taste like. With DIY, I can make them to suit my own preferences.

Doing DIY and making coils aren't my favorite things to do, but they help me to get the vaping experience I really want, and it's worth it to me to do both of them.

I always wanted to try a mechanical, but didn't want to plunk down big bucks.

Maybe the Flip v3 will do for a real mech.
Flip V3

That is one of my favorite mechs. It looks great, and it's just a quarter turn to lock and unlock it!

WOW,, this thread jumped 5 pages. I think I got most of them read.
Bruce, adding a tank is over and above. Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes.
Back to the question about equipment.
I have a mechanical that I added a kick to. it now sets topped with the aerotank mega I got from CactusEsmokes.com. I tinkered with the wattage and found the sweet spot. I wrapped a older style aerotank coil in single configuration and used the cotton. Vapes like a beast. It's my set around watching Tv set-up.
I have a Kmax+ I also got from CactusEsmokes.com, and it's gotten picky about which 510 connector tank it likes. It isn't picky about the ego threaded tanks so it now is the mod of choice for my ProTank minis. I use the minis as my taste tester tanks. Planning to get the version3 airflow controllers for them soon. I like telescoping style tube mods for the battery choices it gives me.
Best of luck everyone.

5. Shortly after taking up vaping, I was shopping with a friend. We were at a light and I look at the car next to me. There sat a police office. Now this was back around 2010 so it wasn’t all that well known and I’d just took a puff. I smiled, put the tip of my ecig to my forehead. He reached over, and did the same with his!!

1. What is your preferred device and atty/tank and why

Well I have a few preferred devices & atty/tanks but my latest fave preferred device is (because I just got it) my IStick 50 watt & Kanger Sub Tank Mini! The iStick is just a great lil device that works so good & feels good in the hand. Everything it does seems to be true to form, I think I will always love it & hopefully it works out well! Same thing with the new sub tank, as I get used to it, I'm loving it. The builds on the RBA are working good and also like the OCC heads. I think it's a matter of figuring out all the in's & out's (if that's a way to describe it) of each device & atty configuration, as they all have different wants & needs I think on how they work the best & once you figure out what works best with them & you get the best out of it, well then you really see if it's a worth while piece & does what you want & don't leak all over the place etc! So if that answers it, well I'm liking these two very much so far!

2. What is your preferred juice pg/vg ratio

I like berry & fruit flavors mostly @ 70/30 pg/vg...I've tried up to a 50/50 and really prefer a higher pg level and find it much better taste etc! But to answer correctly, guess my fave would be Strawberry & Cream! 70/30 or 60/40

4. What is your funniest or most interesting vape related story

I can't really think of a good funny or interesting story, so I'll just say that I'm so glad I found vaping & it's the only thing to ever get me away from smoking and am now tobacco free, 3 years as of this April! Also My son is a vaper and I believe he'll never go back to smoking and he has a real nice collection of vaping gear!
