Jimi D.,

I would very interested in knowing which Hangsen Flavors you have found to be outstanding?
So far I've had no problems with the fruit etc. flavors. I'm nailing these flavors pretty much at 1 drop per ml. I may add a drop or 2 extra for more flavor. Then sometimes they'll be too strong. Some of the flavors won't have an aroma. So one may think it's weak. Those I start at 1% let it steep for a week. These flavors are designed for vaping. These are not our typical food flavors like we're used too. Key is, start low, steep, then taste. I've never had perfect results in any flavor manufacturer.

Didn't you also like the Cola? I thought I bought that because you really liked it.

Ahh.. I have an RDA addiction :D I like the Red Cola at 1 drop per ml.
I am getting one too :D I'm actually looking for something like the Ody or Terminator that does not require NR wire...any thoughts? Having a tank would be nice.

So I must have added too much instead of too little...thanks for the tip! :thumb:

The only tank that I use is an AGI. I use silica only. With SS, I get massive headaches from the metal to metal contact. The AGI is set up as a drip tank. During the day I drip. I've never tried the ODY, because the reviews weren't so hot. The Terminator, I held off because I've read that it needs NR wire.

Your'e welcome. Hangsen flavors are very strong. Start low man, and you should really like the results :)

I've been experimenting a bit with different wicking materials. I saw the AGI and almost pulled the trigger, but I'm really after something with the tank on top feeding juice to a chamber below. It seems everything like that uses NR wire.

I will start lower on the Hangsen, thanks...I really need to get back into some DIY when I can control my OCD. Both obsessive and compulsive take me away from things from time to time :D

I'm not sure where you saw bad reviews on the Odysseus, but I have an Odysseus (v2), Ithaka and Penelope and they are the absolute best rebuildables in my opinion, I will never stray from GG at this point, I couldn't be happier.. They just work perfectly! I can't give enough good reviews and I've never seen a bad review on any of these devices.

you may want to look at this Pali V4 Stainless Steel R/A Tank I have not tried one but it fits the description you are giving

Thanks Sparky. I did see that one and considered it, but I can't find much info from members who have actually used it. The wick from the tank down to the coil/wick looks complicated. I may still give it a shot though, since it is affordable as these things go. :)

EDIT: The Dream might be another option, but I haven't read many good reviews on that one either...

I was thinking of the Ody clone. Not the European original.
