Bov I had to take a nap after that. My problem is I can type 50 wpm but I can only spell 10 wpm.

I've been Applewood 90% of the time for a few months and it seems my old 808's lasted longer. Though after reading Switched's thoughts I started trying to track mls and apposed to days, so I could be wrong

I haven't used anything but BWB for 8 months. All juices are different, but with some of Don's brews (especially the complex ones) they really change with time. I really didn't like his Casablanca at first. I tried it 3 more times over 1 1/2 months, same result. Over 4 months latter I thought WTH, and I was blown away, it was great. Sometimes I can't taste a difference and sometimes it dramatic

I usually get between 1 and 2 weeks but have also had them only last 2 days. I've never gotten a dead carto from them so I feel lucky about that.

I bought 5 of these on my first order and the very first one wouldn't work on any of my PVs and all the adapters I had, so I put them away and didn't touch them for a while. Tried another one and it was fantastic. I've gone through 10 of the fusions now and haven't had another bad one.

I should have clarified better about the steeping Wharf, I was talking about my home brews. When I mix, I measure everything but the nic into my bottle, shake and toss it in a sink full of hot water for about 10 or 15 minutes to jump start that blending process. Then after it cools down, I add the nic. I may get a little more depth after a few days but no huge changes. I wouldn't consider my brews complex tho...the Butterscotch Cookie that I'm hooked on right now I use 4 flavors to create plus the nic and PG/VG base.

I do have a DC that I like, I forgot about it. It uses 2 18650 batteries and dual cartos. These are old pictures of it.

Well I do not believe it. I was going through these cartos that I started and then because either I didn't like them or I just wanted to try something else the are put in my little stand. Anyway I seen the Dual coil, the one I started and didn't like and I said okay I'll give it one more try just to get it out of the way and I was totally amazed. This thing is now putting out mass vapor. The taste isn't bad either so to Salem and Pokey I guess you can say "I told you so you big dummy" The taste is just a little different, not bad but different, and just a little. I guess you have to let them sit a while or something. But I would def recommend them not that they're working right. Oh I also re-tried the Vortex and there is no change there.

That's interesting 5C. Wonder why it's working better now.

I've been playing with my voltage tonight and now the roof of my mouth feels burnt. I reckon 5v is a little too high for me :blush:

I'll be darned if I know but it sit here with juice in it for a week and I thought I'd give it one last try before I toss it (I do that when I get a bunch of cartos sitting around) and I was surprised. The vapor was great the draw was perfect but the taste is different. I haven't figured that out yet but it's not a bad taste. Anyway they made a believer out of me but these Vortex's are a joke. They are flimsy, the top comes off, no performance and a plastic taste.

I don't usually get that high. I think 4.8 is the highest normal setting I use. I'm at about 4.5 on the fusions and here's how they work.

WE TOLD YOU SO BIG DUMMY! Not really lol You really do have to let these sit a little while before using them. Even with the taryn spin method of fill. I am glad that you got the chance to see why so many others love these :)

Dear 5card,
You are not a big dummy, lol! I was truly surprised that you "hated" these DCs so much, that is all! I am tickled that you gave it a second chance, of course, but find it more admirable that you were honorable enough to come back and share your more positive experiences with us -- even if it meant having to eat a little crow. :) (I have a good recipe if you ever need one, BTW. They can be a little tough. I know, I've probably eaten more crow than most, ha!)

Some people have been saying that these seem to have a little break-in period before hitting with full flavor and vapor. I, too, let mine sit a good 30' after filling before vaping. Sometimes longer, if I can be that patient. Again, as with all things vaping, it's whatever works for you -- and if it doesn't, its nice to have so many options out there to choose from! Cartos have come a long way -- and some of them for the better, even (maybe not the Vortex? lol)!

Im guessing it is due to wicking. However the wixks are placed they most likely need time to suck it in.

I had 5 fusions with slow wicks the other day. Burned em up first hit. This was after I let them sit for 10 minutes. I guess all cartos can have wicking problems.
