That looks like a pretty good deal for $15. If I get the "full kit" for $5 more, what kind of clearo/charger/battery are included?

Thats basically how i started with it.I dont do the 100dt,as thats just to much counting,i would get half way through and forget what nunber i was at haha,but i made a small 3ml sample,let it sit a few days,and thought it might be ok,so i took a risk and made a 10ml.That's when i really didn't like it much haha,so i let it sit a while,to the point that it turned from that yellow color that it starts at,to a very dark almost maroon color.I was getting ready to dump it so i could reuse the bottle,but figured i might as well try it to see if it was at least decent enough to force myself through the 10ml instead of wasting it.I was very happy that i didn't dump it,and just the other day made a 30ml of it.If i still like it after this 30ml,then i will make a 60ml batch.

Liblue... hubby has a sensitivity to the PG also. I don't think I have a sensitivity but prefer juices with higher VG... at least 50% so just do my base max VG because the nic I use is PG based and so are the flavorings. He vapes 12 mg and his precious Mango is 10% flavoring so his juices are basically 22% PG and 78% VG.
b.m. .... yep, I learned to give my 'failures' at least a month. I always steep anything with custard, creams, heavy tobacco, coconut, chocolate, and several others.

IPV mini, I stick etc. all serve a purpose. good for a regulated stealth (stealthier anyway) device, of course most are powered by li-po's or single 18650's so they are better suited for running in the 7 to 40 watt range type loads
seems they are more popular with women than men.
just depends on what you want it for really

I actually have a Cloupor Mini on the way. I wonder how it will compare to my iSticks.
I have seen the same thing happen on my iStick 20. Sometimes loosening the topper and then tightening it again will fix the issue. However, I usually read it as a sign to replace the coil at the next opportunity. I don't think it's dangerous at all (otherwise, the device should read short--and none of my other devices--MVP, Vamo--have the issue), but it does become annoying when the device automatically adjust the wattage down to compensate for the high resistance.
I got some creme' brule a few weeks ago but havent played w/it yet... think its a tfa or fw brand, not sure. how did you mix it up? what ratios?
seems the Cap V2 Van. Custard is a hot item and it mixes in well w/just about everything also seems to add a sweet note to the mix as well, I only played with the V2 a little bit but I had a big bottle and just started putting it in everything Ha ha! and it has done nicely, so much so I ordered 2 more large bottles a few weeks ago
if you hate to refill tanks just vape less or buy more tanks Ha Ha!
if you want a tank that holds some juice the Big Budda holds a full 10ml but it is a 26650 size tank, they are really nice however
no danger if the coil resistance increases as the higher it would get the less load it would put on your device. It sounds like your coil is loose, every other time or so you refill your clearo's give the coil a snugging up. where you have to watch out is when you see a great decrease in resistance
comes with a clearomizer, 2 (grey 18350) batteries and a wall wart charger. indeed the full kit is a better deal for the price. people will bash on the blue or grey batteries but they are safe and work fine for these devices after all they are not designed for subohm use and @ 15 watts max, they are a suitable battery.
BTW - they all sold out this week sent out the last ones this afternoon
still have a couple of V3 and I think 1 more V5 left (single units only, kits are gone)

I haven't used an istick,so can't really compare there,but the cloupor mini has the same chip as my standard size cloupor and it's very nice,so i would guess the mini should be pretty much what i have now,but in a smaller package haha.They are very easy to use,and even though i never have found a need to go that high,i like that they will go up to 30 watts,gives a nice bit of flexibilty.
I haven't tried making any creme brulee yet,i need to because i am finding that is one of the best juice flavors i have ever tried,and if i keep buying it premade i'm gonna go broke haha.I have found a few recipes that sound good,one day i need to sit down and make a few to see how they compare to what i've been buying.I didn't know there was a creme brulee flavoring,i will have to check that out too,that could be a big time saver if it's good,and the vendor i have been buying from does use alot of fw flavors,so if they make that flavor,it may be exactly what i've been buying which would be perfect and a whole lot cheaper haha.
I've read alot about that capella v2 custard,but haven't tried it.I still have like 20ml of the v1 left,so once i get through it i plan to try the v2,actually i may go ahead and get a sample bottle,as it seems to be getting hard to find the v1 in stock anymore,so i've been nursing this bottle trying to make it last as long as possible haha.

Aside from the size, one of the selling points of the iStick is it's ergonomics with the rounded side. For me, since I have long fingers, this puts it just on the edge of difficult to hold, as I actually end up with extra finger length (if that makes any sense) while holding it. The Cloupor Mini is about the same size as the iStick dimension-wise, but does not have the curved edge. My hope is that the corners take up a little bit more of my finger length to allow me a slightly more comfortable grip on the device. I guess we'll find out...!

.I own a near obscene number of tanks. Prefer the 3.5-4.0 mL size, I can grab 3 or 4 with different flavors heading out the door without worrying about running out of any one flavor for the most part. They'll last me 2 or 3 days before having to top them off, works for me. It's the 1-1.5 mL sized "tanks" and minis that just never held enough for me, the RS CE-2 were the worst without a MAP tank.
That's the biggest reason I like the bigger boxes. I like having dual 18650's. I guess you spoiled me with those Box Trolls you made a while back!
I like the bigger tanks because I like being able to grab a tank and go without worrying about refilling it while I'm gone. If I want something smaller, I just grab an RTA.
My Big Buddah RDA is awesome. It holds a massive amount of juice, and it doesn't leak! It looks and vapes really nicely too!

I have various tanks of various sizes. I still use the little Aerotanks. I put juices in them that I have about 10-15 ml of or flavors that I know I will tire of after a tank or 2. The larger tanks get juices that I vape daily pretty much and ones I make 30 ml at a time. Single coils generally keep the amount I vape down but tried son's Kayfun V4 the other day... not sure how he had it set up but got a real buzz off 3 mg and emptied the tank... 5 ml in less than 90 min. I don't care much for set-ups that go through juice like that.
The Fogger tanks and the Lemo are what I have been using the most as my large tanks.

I snugged it up, and it still read 3.5, so I replaced it and the new coil reads 1.9, so... yeah, coil going out. I kept the old coil and will clean it up and keep it as an emergency back up...no danger if the coil resistance increases as the higher it would get the less load it would put on your device. It sounds like your coil is loose, every other time or so you refill your clearo's give the coil a snugging up. where you have to watch out is when you see a great decrease in resistance
IMO the V2 is better, its the improved version
Bull City Vapor has a great price on flavoring and its about 1.25 less than ordering it from Capellas...- Status
