That's the way I like it. STRONG. It also helps since I mix menthol with almost everything.

I didn't realize how strong it was till I started paying attention to other site's menthol (i.e., Wizard Labs is at 10%).

I mix my menthol crystals in PGA. Makes a very strong but good menthol with a kick :) The crystals go a long way and are much less expensive. Plus you are able to dilute to your own tastes.

Someday is a dream for me. :) I still have all my old ce2 tanks. I still have a pack of menthol crystals I never used. I wonder if they can become stale?

I don't think so. The pack that I have is about two years old. They are easy to dilute in PG or PGA. I think that PGA keeps them from becoming solid again though. I never tried PG dilution.

Just thought I'd mention the Menthol. I was wasting a lot of money trying to find a decent menthol until I purchased it from ecigExpress (http://www.ecigexpress.com/flavoring-menthol-hot-cold-additives-c-16_42/menthol-select-size-p-621). I was quite pleased. So very few items stand out to require comment and this is one.
Yes thats what i been useing for the Mrs. she is so easy to please and i make up several 60ml bottles that last her what seems forever@onlya few %.

I've never bought the menthol crystals,just the flavoring........and yes I'm back.

Welcome back Fran :)
I was sorry to hear that you were gone, and am glad to see that things worked out somehow... however that happened. I didn't really understand what happened in the first place, but it's nice to see you back.

I see you still like the Ruyan 4. I really like it. I tweak it sometimes. My vivi is in the drawer of shame right now. I have no idea what I am going to do with it. I am not throwing it away.
SdH -Take a picture of it then toss it......ROFL ! Joke ; )
Got 2 new DiD clones from coop opened one made ss wick and its so goood .

Traded my megalodon and just shipped it this morning as im hooked on my VV box mods as Meg was just sitting there looking pretty.
In trade i got an original all stainless DID made from the fella in Greece and a Kir Francis clear tank with it, told him to keep his kanthal as i have a 200ft roll enough to last me a lifetime, i only use 2 n1/4 inch kanthal on wick and ss wicks last probably months as mine is going on 3 weeks and no sign of degrading yet.

If i was rich i would by you all the setup with ss mesh wick as a tease for you folks to see how clean the taste of your e-liquid is compared to silica. ; )

SdH - yup hooked on the TE-Ry4 Ruyan and TE Ry4- for a while now and use the Oryental as a palate cleanser @ times , one day i try the B&M perhaps .

Are you using the mesh and ss wick that came with them? My coop DID should be here later today (crossed fingers). I've seen a couple of people say that they didn't like the mesh and wick that came with it so much. Has me a little worried since I can't afford other wick and mesh right now.

With the griffin i did used what came with it, the coop one i used mesh as a template to cut 6 mesh wicks that i keep in a little container.
I use my own kanthal wire.
The mesh that comes with the griffin and the ones in the coop are fine nothing wrong with them and appear to be 400 which is what i use.

It is good to see you back Fran. :)

@ Dies I have a bottom coil rba. I am still working on it. It does have a clean flavor. My diy never tasted this good. I mean it is good but so much cleaner in a rba.

Makes the vivi look like garbage.
Coiuld not agree more, its very refreshing. ; )

What product you using here SDH? I have tried tons of CE2 so the vivi was not very appealing to me. I dont like the way you have to swich the juice around to get it to wick. Not to mention the flavor on a vivi was so muted it was far from worth it for me.
