Just to add some info here. I decided to put the fill screw back in. No more leaking and I'm not having too much trouble keeping the wick wet (still some trouble though. Dry hits hurt) and I'm able to vape comfortably at 4v. We will see how this turns out

Oh ok I see....if you have to keep the watts low.....meaning the ohms of the coils high and the voltage low...for the juice to taste normal then you will kill atties and ruin wicks in no time. Definitely the 28awg wire wont help because you wont be able to go lower than 3v but the wattage will be very high regardless. My suggestion is to look around and find some other brand of strawberry that is acceptable to you taste wise. You can also buy no flavor PG or VG and try to dilute the juice you have ( a little distilled water might help as well). By Diluting the juice you might be able to go to higher voltages without sacrificing taste....since warmer vapor is tastier. Your attys will probably last a lot longer. As I said in a previous post some juices are atty killers.

Oh it's the juice for sure. I've always gone through an atty a week. Problem is I don't really like anything else for my all day vape. I don't really know how to fix this

Yeah I love testing new flavors out. It's hard though. Never had a problem coming up with 5 bucks for a pack of smokes but it's a minimum of $10 for any juice order and then it's $5 for shipping for any new flavors I wanna try but if I buy all at once I gotta come uo with $20-40.

Haha a little convoluted but you get my point. Maybe I'll make a topic in tasty vapor's forum for some recommendations. I prefer them as a supplier.

Just my personal opinion but you should try DIY. It's so easy to just order your nic already mixed to ratio you like and flavor it however you want. Not to mention so much cheaper.

My favorite juice was about $1 per ml. Now I get about 250ml for half that and my juice tastes better.
I agree 100%, and we are the best quality control.

I'm all about it. I have a lot of Lorann flavoring right now I just don't know where to buy large amounts of premixed juice. I've found all kinds of cheap unflavored juice just never any with nic in it at a decent price. Where do you get yours from? I'd be willing by a couple hundred ml to mess around with.

With that said I buy 150ml of juice from tasty vapor for about $30 (a 1oz 48mg bottle and a 4oz no nic doubler both around $15 a piece. That makes it about $0.20 per ml if my math is right) so a buck a ml or even $0.50 might be a little steep compared to what I'm used to. Even if it is though, if I enjoy it more it'll be worth it

Wizard Labs is where I order my juice and flavoring.

Aside from the savings and the joy of making good tasting juice, you can try a bunch of flavors for like $1.60 a tube, which will make quite a bit of juice. I'm sure I'm not alone in this but if I vape the same thing all day, everyday I quickly realize I can no longer taste it as much. To combat this I have about 5 juices in rotation. I rotate every tank and it keeps things interesting and keeps my faves tasting great.

Something to consider.

I'm right with you with needing to rotate. Unfortunately I've never found something I can use for an entire day. I switch off to atomic cinnacide and orange creampop from time to time but usually for no longer than a couple hours.

I really just wish I could find another sweet, light fruit flavor I enjoy as much as strawberry

I only vape fruit flavors. A tank lasts me all day but my refill falls midday so I get a switch during the day. All my flavors are from flavor apprentice (wizard labs sells them and some lorans). My 5 most vaped are double kiwi, peach, raspberry, black cherry, and watermelon. They are all actual fruit flavor, not a candy like flavor.

I was in your shoes and never thought I'd find a juice that I'd like as much as pink spot but I've found that nearly everything I've made has been really good. The stuff I didn't care for set me back a couple bucks, no big deal. If I find something lacking, I kick up the flavor a little. Sometimes I mix some stuff. Raspberry, pineapple, and lime end up tasting a lot lime how I remember pink spot.

Anyways enough selling from me, I just wish I would have gotten into earlier. I was totally turned off from the early days when you had to get PG from a pharmacy and everything else was dakang flavorings. Blech.
