Yes, they sound good, and smell good ..a drop on my hand tastes good too, but there's no telling how they'll taste until using them properly! I keep an open mind.
Tonight I just tried 'Double Black' which is a coffee/tobacco one from SNG. Not nice when it arrived, but a few weeks on, a drop tasted of coffee and almond ...tastes like used coffee grounds & cardboard in a MOW on my istick even at 6W, and that's higher than I like to use it!
I'll leave it in the tank overnight and see how it is ..they sometimes change left overnight like that.

I don't care for watching a film more than once ..I hate knowing what's going to happen next! :laugh:
I enjoyed Skyfall (first bond film I've watched in over 20 years as I didn't like the Bonds after Connery - even he was a bit smooth for me too), and liked the Bourne films ..some of the best book adaptations I've seen.
Seen a few decent films in recent months including Harry Brown - very thought provoking regarding the times we live in.

OOOOooo I love coffee based vape flavors :D Do you usually continue steeping bought juice? When i buy juices from the vape store ill just start vaping on it immediately. Until its all goneee LOL! No time for steeping. But when i started to DIY my own juice, the whole steeping process just takes too long :( especially my bakery based flavors. I have never tasted juice on its on. My hands also start to burn when i get close contact with drops of liquid. Have no idea why. There was once where i DIY without gloves, was screaming :(

LOL i know what you mean. Some people just cant watch it more than once. I like to watch things i like over and over again. Maybe im weird like that XD. Bond movies are awesome. I know bonds after connery changed a lot lol. But i still enjoy them. I also like movies that are based on actual events.. Luv Luv Luv. Ohhhh im also a freak when it comes to things that involves mummies, vampires and some other ghouls that dont spook me out completely LOL!

Hey Trish how creamy would you say chefs posset is? I've had my DIY mix of it steeping for maybe 5 days now and it's a pretty sharp lemon still, I was hoping it would get creamier with time but so far not that much. I thought as it's a fruity vape it wouldn't need much more steeping but maybe it does!

Also mt baker hawk sauce is really nice, the menthol isn't overpowering and the berries aren't too sweet, just sweet enough for me. I'd recommend it.

The pink spot retro punch is pretty good, heavy on the guava and maybe not as complex as I was hoping but still nice.

I'd call it a happy division between lemon and cream ...but don't really think sharp is the right word because it's never really sharp.
Seeing their recommendation of Posset varies between 25 and 35%, which percentage did you go for?
I remember using my ready made one as soon as it arrived and didn't stop using it ...bottle was gone in no time :) I can't say the lemon was particularly sharp or pronounced in those early stages either.
I'm using it in a mini Nautilus on an MVP2 at 7W. I'll perhaps try it on an iStick later and see what it's like then!

I've never tried that - I may get a small bottle of ready made next time I order the MBV.

I got some MBV G Men recently (Guava and Menthol), but it's not got as much guava flavour as I'd like. I tried the Admiral Berry Crunch too, and that's too much Crunch, not enough Berry! :laugh: I got them both with 2 shots of extra flavour.

Ok maybe it just needs more time. I've started at 25% as most other chefs juices I've made from concentrate didn't need much more than the starting point, I use 50/50 PG/VG so maybe you'd need 35% at max VG.

I haven't tried the Admiral Berry Crunch but I am pretty hooked on Mom and Pops Krunchberry. It's very sweet but I think a good mix of "crunch" and "berry", the "berry" aspect would be better a little more tart I think.

Most of the ready made ones I buy are made to order, so yes, some do need up to a week to steep. Tobacco and Coffee ones can take longer.
The nicotine liquid that you dilute would burn your hands definitely, and even if you got diluted on your hands too much, it would make them sore. Best use gloves if you do DIY and have sensitive hands.
Only time I've had any problem was when some ready to use liquid had dripped onto my mouse mat wrist rest and I'd been using the mouse a fair bit ..the liquid had made contact with the side of my wrist for a while and caused it to be really sore for a few days.

Films that have unreal things in them don't appeal to me whether they be aliens, vampires, mummies or whatever - I'm too much of a realist, so prefer real and possible events even if they are filmed in quite improbable situations! :)

Yup it burns. Never again I'll diy without gloves. Haha.

Well people have their own preference I guess. Sometimes I can't really stand movies that have too much storyline and talk a lot. I'll probably fall asleep hehe!

Anyway. I have vape mail! Wheeeee... Im charging it's battery. I love thisssssssss. The feeling on it is ohhhhhh so awesome!

I've never asked them what percentage they make the VG ones at ..they just taste a lot better than many! :) They also give me less trouble than many too, so I've long suspected that not all base liquids are equal in quality. Plus, Chefs use nicotine in VG, so every little helps.
See how it goes after a few more days or even a week. If it's still too sharp, you could perhaps add a bit of whipped or sweet cream to tame it.

I haven't tried the Admiral Berry Crunch but I am pretty hooked on Mom and Pops Krunchberry. It's very sweet but I think a good mix of "crunch" and "berry", the "berry" aspect would be better a little more tart I think.
I tried it because someone in the same boat as me with PG, tried the equivalent from somewhere else and liked it. Can't find the brand now though, but not desperate. I'd prefer a decent but not too sweet berry taste with a bit of 'crunch' :)
I do have a couple of berry flavoured ones that could probably be added to the Admiral Berry.

TRISH......Red istick clone in new arrivals @ FT.
Thanks! :) They weren't there when I looked a few hours ago! Got one ordered ...wonder if the 7 days will be accurate this time! :unsure: Still, it's a red one! :D

So in a lot of cases, people could be off for a month! :blink: Glad we don't shut down for a month each January!

Well I put the Billow on it with what was 2.1 ohm on my P3 it now shows 2.23 ohm so started it at 12w which is about right for it, I then took it down to 7w and there was a hell of a difference for me, could still taste it but very weak, so I would say yes, it steps down.

EDIT don't know if it suffers the same problem as the T6 T8 though in being over-powered, but 12w for the build in the billow is about right

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxidbhUCgrA

Just watched this. He says it doesn't step down so that's a shame. Presumably alright on your billow because it's so high a resistance.

Yayyy thank you sweets! Oh em geeee.. Is this new??? I definitely love the color!!! Why dint they have this sooner :( i would definitely have gotten this instead of the dark pink one lol. But this isnt the eleaf one right? Am afraid it wont perform as good as the real thang. *added to my long list of fasttech wishlist* (Just in case) haha!

Just found this and wondered if anyone would be interested in getting a little co op together.
KAMRY 20 Watt Variable Voltage / Wattage Box Mod
OMG i sawwww this.. It looks soooo damn cool and chic at the same time. Wish it came in more colors. But i wished it was more than 20 watts. I mean look at it. With the RDA on. Spiffy!! If i slap an RDA on there i would definitely want to sub ohm. 20watts is just not gonna cut it tho. Price wise its awesome!

Well i have finally sussed out these Lemo`s :laugh: I cleaned an rewicked one of them before, filled it with Chefs apple pie & irish cream, put it on the Hana @ 16 watts and had a vape or five :) Then i noticed the wick was starting to dry out :facepalm: I have been vaping the Lemo`s with a wide open airflow, so i closed it off a bit for a tighter draw, and i started to get the elusive bubbles :laugh:

I may be wrong, but i reckon with the AFC fully open, they were not feeding the wicks with juice IE: Need a touch of resistance for the liquid to be drawn into the channels. Anyhoo, all seems well now !

I run mine half open @ 15 to 20 watts Tel,never have a dry hit.And like you said see small bubbles on every draw.
Even half open i'm getting loads of flavour and vapour.Vapourwise if i do a big double hit, it's too much to inhale it all.It's vitually coming out of my ears:)
