Well, I finally have both my eRoll AND juices! Yay!

First impressions:
  • Why doesn't the starter kit come with another cone so you can have two complete units??? Of course, not sure I want 2 yet.
  • Lots of vapor, but seems to be of a different "quality" (not as in good or bad, just as in somehow different) than the Mistic I'm used to. I'm assuming Mistic uses PG juices tho, I'm using a VG/DW blend now.
  • Not much flavor :( I read to order extra flavor shots. I was a little hesitant since there's PG in Mt Baker's flavoring. I asked the Mt Baker rep how many extra shots I should get using an eRoll and 70 VG/30 DW. He said just 1.
  • Right now I'm vaping Blackberry. I ordered two shots on this. Hardly any flavor. What is there is a little ... weird. I mean, I guess I shouldn't expect it to taste like fresh freakin' blackberries! Covering one hole for a second does seem to intensify the flavor a bit, but still weak. No flavor detected at all with Apricot, which I only got 1 extra shot of.
  • Wow. Going through a lot of liquid very, very quickly. I now see why the small tank is a big deal.
  • I have poor vision. Glad I got a needle tip top for the flavor bottles for filling the tank. This makes it easy.
  • PCC took longer to charge than it said it would. Maybe it's a first time thing?
  • I like the look of the black one better. But I should have thought about the fact that I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached. I lose everything. Black blends into an awful lot of things. Something to consider. (It comes in white and maybe silver, too.)


Questions:
  • Advice on what to do about flavors? I need the taste of something besides chemically "tupperware air" in my mouth. Hellooooo, I'm used to a bazillion chemicals and burning things! (That might have something to do with it?)
  • Mt Baker says not to use Green Apple in plastic tanks. eRoll people say you can use any flavor, tho there might be some problems with juices with solids. Any experience here? (I asked in the tank crackers thread.)
  • OK to rinse needle tops out with just water when done filling tank?
  • When testing flavors (or lack thereof), you drip a "few" (3?) drops onto the spike of the atomizer. But how do you use all that flavor without burning it dry to go to the next?
  • Switching flavors in tanks - just rinse out with water?
  • What do ya'll use to keep your stuff in? In a month or two I'll need something that locks, since I might have a kid visiting now and then, and better safe than sorry. I at least need something cat-proof for now. For the extra pieces batteries, tanks, bottles, and 8 or so bottles I have of flavor. Shoe box with rubberbands or is there something more clever everyone loves to use?
  • I made a thread asking about alternatives to Ucans, will check to see if there's any responses. Seems to be hit or miss with leaks. I'd rather not spend that much money on something that might leak. And if some flavors can eat through a tank, I'm hesitant to trust a plastic bag for protection on any of them.

I know I've read answers to some of these before. I'm going to go re-read the almost 200 pages on the e-roll now, and take better notes (copy and paste into Word :D) (I have a terrible memory.)

Really bummed about flavor :( Wondering if I can buy concentrated flavor to add to these flavors or if that will even help....

Congrats on your purchase. In regards to flavor and high VG juice:
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. I vape 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

When testing flavors (or lack thereof), you drip a "few" (3?) drops onto the spike of the atomizer. But how do you use all that flavor without burning it dry to go to the next?
Atomizers are very easy to "dry burn"/ clean off old juice and that's why we use them to test juices.

Switching flavors in tanks - just rinse out with water?
Yes but try and dry as much water as possible- either a tissue or hair dryer on low/ cool.

What do ya'll use to keep your stuff in? In a month or two I'll need something that locks, since I might have a kid visiting now and then, and better safe than sorry. I at least need something cat-proof for now. For the extra pieces batteries, tanks, bottles, and 8 or so bottles I have of flavor.

I've got an antique breadbox I keep mine in. If pets or kids are around better to secure your stuff safely. Also have flavorless nic juice in an old wine cooler and a freezer.

Finding the right flavor is prolly the toughest part of this game. Yes you could buy flavor and add accordingly and sparingly.

I use Mt Baker 70VG 30% distilled water and I have settled at 3 extra flavor shots. None or 1 was not enough & 5 was gross! Some flavors are stronger than others, I love their cotton candy but when I want strong flavor grape is much better.

I usually only rinse out tanks if the flavors are super different. I've dumped just about everything on top of cotton candy, lol and also mix fruits regularly. The old flavor is gone within a drag or two.

Yay! Found storage that will work. Local thrift store had a sort of travel toiletries organizer in great condition with two zippers! For $1.50 :) Got a mini (luggage) padlock at a local hardware store. (Would have preferred combination, but you take what you can get in a small town.) Also, tried out the hazelnut flavor. I ordered it with 3 extra shots. Taste a little more flavor with it. I tried tapping bubbles out, raising tank a bit. I can taste everything else (food, beverages) just fine. Dunno. Maybe 3 really is the magic number!

Being new to vaping I saw the eroll thinking the cigarette form will be what I wanted, but was not happy about lack of flavor.
Also bought the extra cone for the spare battery and extra tanks but never got to use them.
I went and got a mini ego battery paired that up with a mini Vivi nova using the 1.8ohm head and couldn't be happier.
The vapor and flavor is great! Also can't beat the small form factor for stealth hoping.
Unfortunately the eroll will be sold either here it the classifieds or on eBay.
