So do I have to watch them long boring PB videos? Or will some one sum it it up for me :)
No more 510's? ...?
I dug out the old Rose V2 a while back for a stealth vape with some thin RY4 juice I had. I forgot how great the vape is from the Rose.

Speaking of PB videos I have a really hard time sitting through them as well, he is a tad long winded. I'll take his long winded any day over the incompetence of that buffoon Robert Ellis. Watching him trying to stuff cotton down the throat of a Kraken was just too much for me, but I digress.

PB's best review was with the Rose V2 Stumpy. He couldn't build it for beans, but the 15 second intro is absolutely priceless. :thumbs: Rates right up there with that all time classic Victor video.

Is their juice THAT good for THAT price??
I ran across a couple of youtube reviews of their juice and it sounded pretty good. I still have a bunch of juice so I didn't really need more but for $23/120ml, it was worth trying the 2 flavors that sounded pretty good. I didn't know it was a BOGO deal which made it even better. I've been moving toward light fruit flavors since they don't gunk as fast as others (coffee and dessert flavors). Over the years, I've tried everything from cheap (CHEAP!) juice to premium juice ($40/30ml bottle). It seems the cheap stuff usually have weird smells and flavors that are noticeably artificial. Premium juices are usually pretty good but really expensive so I've been trying stuff that gets good reviews. I've found some great deals on good inexpensive juices and this would rate up there with some of the best, especially for the price. MBV is usually hit or miss and there's only a few flavors I really like, like raspberry lemonade but no longer made and I was running out of my 236ml bottle which is why I wanted to try Broke Dick's. I've been vaping Water Cup (fruit punch) and PrePaid (berries) almost exclusively for the past 5 or so days. There's no weird perfume-y smell usually associated with cheap juice and tastes as good as it smells.

2 120ml bottles for $23 is a smokin' deal and free shipping $23 and up.

*Oh, the reason I put them in the cart but didn't check out was because I didn't try Prepaid at the time and was going to place the order after I tried it (and if liked it).

While I'm here...

The Therion 75C is a really nice mod. No issues at all with it and the extra battery life (dual 18650) is great.

The Lavabox M DNA75 is a great little mod too. I wish I ordered more than 2 at their blowout price ($40, free shipping).

Titanium wire is pretty good. Not as soft as Ni200 but softer than SS. Seems to take less power to heat so my batteries are lasting a bit longer. Maybe 25% more? On my 75C, I can see it takes about 3-4a per puff vs 4-5a with 430ss for the same vape.

The Rustoleum Matte Clear looked great but isn't good for mods. I already peeled/chipped it off both Silo 75c's. I polished the back of one and will probably take both apart to fully polish both. Probably the ERM+'s too.

I've been watching them for the last half year, I too heard they were good but until recently they didn't have a tobacco flavor. I'm not one for fruit or candy vapes but there is one black raspberry diy concentrate from MFS I do like, unfortunately they stopped selling it so when this is gone I may try something along that line. Seeing you are happy with BD I'm going to place an order for the tobacco and I'll have to wing it for the second flavor. Your right, for the money it's a deal!

I'm very picky, it's very hard for me to find a flavor I like, even among the premium brands. For years my main vape has been the Uncle Junk's Jon Wayne, I love that juice, very complex flavor. I cut it with flavorless so I get more bang for my buck and I've found a smoking deal on 120 bottles for $31 shipped at ecigaretteempire.com, that's $10-$15 cheaper then anyplace else I've found. If you haven't checked them out do so, they have some damn good prices on the big names.

I've always vaped two juices swapping back and forth through out the day, my flavor buds go dead on one juice after a while, swapping out keeps vaping flavorful. I've added other flavors to the mix now and then but I always end up back at two, like I say I'm fussy.

I'll let you know how I like the BD's, hopefully they'll be strong enough that I can cut them with flavorless, that would really stretch a buck!

A secret santa sent me Ti clapton's for the merlin's, been vaping on one a little tonight, still in break in. Vapor is amazing, flavor is pretty good and I'm sure will come in more as time passes, only negatives are I got a nic buzz and I can watch the tank drain. But it's kicking ... so far, I'm impressed. Thanks santa! :thumbs:

Oh yeah, I took the base of the merlins apart and drilled out the air tube, not a lot, just enough to remove the threads for the restrictor plug. I think the treads created turbulence which acted as baffles, even though I removed little it really made a huge difference! I was afraid I ruined them when I took a draw without a coil, it was really free flowing, but after putting the clapton in it's not too much. I know the bottom of the coil is getting plenty of air now, ton's of vapor without a long hard lung hit, got so cloudy in here I had to open the door LoL.

That sucks :(
A question, I never got a "silo 75c". Is it bigger than a normal Silo950?
I ask cause I got the 3D printed 21700 sled from SW for the what I though was the same size normal silo950. It's way bigger & didn't fit :( I ended up getting the "Swedish Vapor 20700 sled" from SW & it fits a 20700, in the "Hana Style & the normal Silo 950 :)
I got the Sanyo 20700b's coming for the mentioned mods 4250mAH :) Only 16 amps but should be good for a single simple round wire build, & should dramatically increase my battery life on these mods.
The Ijoy 20700 is an improvement over an 18650 but at only 3000mAH, not as drastic of an improvement as the Sanyo "b" will be :)

So I have 2 21700 3D printed sleds for the 75c silo. I will never use these & am willing to give them to you, If you want to use them? After all your taking yours apart, great opportunity to increase your batter life :)

Let Me know, I can ship them off to you, If you want them :)

Ti's density is roughly half that of the other commonly used materials. IIRC, its specific heat is marginally higher, but even when you take that into account, a Ti coil made from the same gauge, using the same number of turns on the same diameter will take noticeably less energy to come up to temp.

I guess they had to change the filters here to allow Broke Dick since they pay (still haven't seen their ad here so I might be wrong).

I liked Water Cup so much I put 2 more bottles (and 2 bottles of PrePaid) in my cart but didn't check out last week. I got a reminder that I had stuff in my cart which I ignored but today, I got another reminder and a code for 10% off my order, good for 24 hrs so I just ordered 4 more bottles.

Have you tried Payday? I've been looking for a Mad Murdock's 710 replacement and/or Nicoticket Virus replacement and Payday sounds like it. Gonna order that and either Water Cup or Prepaid. :thumb:

It's slightly larger by 1mm in height and width but the same depth. Thanks for the offer but I don't think I'd ever use 20700 or 21700 batteries. I'm happy with my LG HG2's. :)

IIRC, its specific heat is marginally higher, but even when you take that into account, a Ti coil made from the same gauge, using the same number of turns on the same diameter will take noticeably less energy to come up to temp.
Makes sense as this is what I'm experiencing. :thumb:

I've only tried Water Cup and Prepaid. Both are very good quality and could easily pass for premium ($$$) juice.

I can't say enough good things about the 20700B. Ive been using them since they were available. I'm using them in DIY non regulated 3D printed 'lil pinch-a-likes and at 0.7 ohms I drain the 8ml bottles before the voltage drop off gets to a less than satisfactory level. Haven't pushed them past 8ml, but with HG2's in my pinches I would get about 2/3 of a bottle when I felt it necessary to change the battery. I would suspect at least 10ml in a regulated at the same wattage would be possible.

Yea I know, unregulated talk in the Evolving thread. Let the whippings begin.
