The mint chocolate from
Eco vape is pretty on the mark. If you're looking to replace it the discontinued. Here's the drip range
Eco Clouds Drip Juice Mint Chocolate Flavour
I can make the same Mint Choc Vapetto that Chefs had, but if I found one equal to it, I'd be happy to buy ready made. It's a nice dark chocolate bias, and has a hint of mint rather than a more definite flavour of it. The Vapetto part makes it very pleasant.
I have tried a number of other brands, but they're all either too minty, or the chocolate tastes too milky or artificial.
I did find Highbrow dark chocolate very nice though - and it's completely customisable.
I may try a 10ml bottle of the Eco at some point though. It's 60%VG in the small bottles, so not right for me, but OK for a short term taster! - if I liked it, I'd get the higher VG bigger bottle. :)

So all the ry flavors I've tried have been far too rich. And the tobacco experiment was to try and cure my cravings for a smoke. It's working relatively but next time I'll
Order any tobacco is 12 I think. When I add nude nicotine to Boost it - it's such a smooth nicotine I don't really get increased throat hit. I was just surprised that caramel mated to the premium t flavor didn't really make it sweet. It anything it made it more like a cigarette. Which tells me big tobacco use caramel flavoring in most cigarettes if anything.
I can understand you seeking out good tobacco ones if you still get cravings, so hope you find something that you like.
Shame about you not much liking the Chefs RY ..it's been very popular for a long time, but no good if too sweet/rich.
I see Marcus has made some recommendations :)

Is there any solution for their spit back
Protected drip tip ? I've built a single coil at about 1.3 ohms and I'm getting virtually no vapor proficient with the top on. If I take it off to expose the deck it is firing away. Vapor as expected. I have to think the indirect tip is the issue. Also the atomizer gets absolutely boiling after a few seconds Vaping. Heat transfer from the coil is awful. I feel pretty confident this atomizer just won't work for me at all in the way I vape. I can't open it up and build dual coil and vape the way I air. Just two very different things. A but of s bummer because now I need to find another atomizer to out on top and I doubt I'll be able to do that for a while given medical bills. I sort of thought it may kind of work for my style. At least as much as the sub tank does. But it doesn't. Flavor is very intense which is awesome. But nothing else is working even remotely right for my style of Vaping. Maybe I'm missing something. Or you can offer some guidance as to how to maybe hobble along with this on my style.

Here's the extremely simple coil I put in it so you can see no shorts or anything. Clearly this was made for dual coils and very low ohms but hen id have to think the heat on the metal would get unbearable. The atomizer itself to me - the design just isn't good. Mostly because the air flow is so high. At not cooking anything effectively.

Even open like this is too much

I guess I'm going to rebuild it with dual coils and 26 gauge but It would seem to beeper try clear I need to find a new atomizer. Bummer after waiting over three weeks to receive this. I should have found something back then.

Here's vapor
Production with the top off. When it's on and I exhale almost nothing comes out. If I turn up the power it becomes scalding hot in about two seconds.

Don't know what to say, I have a 0.28 NiFe30 single coil in mine at 420F and 50w and although not great the vapour production is adequate and it gets warm but not overly hot, did you check it is in Power mode and not temp mode (wattage should be at the top of the display for Kanthal builds) because that causes the problems with what you are experiencing, for my other one that has a Kanthal build in it I am not using the supplied Aromamizer SC902 atty, but one I had on a cheapo Chinese mech squonker that I have dumped

Fantastic. Thanks. I need batteries and for $31 I'll buy another Evic mini I think

@Bobw1951 here's the second attempt. I don't build dual Coils much particularly with a shared center post. How does this look? It heats evenly. I just cut the outside end bits of the cotton shorter as that seemed the logical way

I just don't get what's killing vapor production. When the deck is exposed it's hammering away. Both builds. But with the top on I get next to nothing. Maybe it's the drip tip adaptor which just won't stay on no matter what I do. Frustrating. The flavor is really sharp. But I need to find a different atomizer. It's too early to have any real opinion but the battery dies seem
To be going pretty quickly in power mode. But they did something to account for parasitic loss. Which means they're getting the actual output of displayed.

The actual squonking mechanics are working well haven't noticed leaking or anything. And the flavor would tell me that squonking at home may well be the right answer for me.

Edit. I can confirm the battery life under power mode isbad. It's been maybe an hour of testing and the battery is 2/3 depleted. I'm hoping here's a software update. No way their parasitic loss calculations made it this bad.

Right now I'd have to say you seem to be luckier than most bob. You have two of these. What kind of power are you running? I spend most of my time around 17-20 watts and the battery went very very fast.

Honestly at this point I may check their return policy.. At least if there's no.sofrwarenuodate to fix the battery issue. They may not have one but another $50 into a better for me atomizer and battery life problems.like this would make the device unusable for.me..
Re the one I have with a Kanthal build in it, I run it at 20w it's a dual coil 0.64 ohms and I get about the same good but not great vapour production, I agree though about the battery life with Kanthal not being good, but I have plenty of batteries (I do have the air flow wide open on both)

Well here's hoping, I've seen a few reviewers using it, so it's probably a good 'un, even Pauley had it in his review of the Rafale (he didn't like the VRBA kit though :))

Was thinking the same, sticking with the Crown & Triton for replaceable coil tanks

I'm interested in the Aqua FX,not an easy build,but the flavour is supposed to be something else.Straying away from ready mades other than for my Super mini tanks.May get some Triton coils to try in those.

How does the Crown perform in TC,aren't the coils NR-R-NR,does it still perform OK?

Works fine if you use the Crown profile that I included

PSA: Pricing for some Authentic stuff on FT is sometimes the same as here in the UK, just looked at the Griffin RTA:
$35.99 Authentic GeekVape Griffin RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3.5ml / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping $35.99 which equates to about £25 using Paypal exchange rate, it shows £23.39 if you have FT set to show GBP, but remember that they always charge in USD, the same atty is available from MyePack for £24.99 + whatever the postage is - so worth checking locally, worth it if you don't want to wait a week or two.

Well i dunno whats happening at Chefs ? For example, if you look at the bottom of their home page, there is about 8 of their range. On friday i managed to order 100 ml of Lews Brew, yesterday i got 100 ml of QOP, and earlier today i got 100 ml of Doughnut King.
So 3 separate orders, but with free postage it doesn`t matter that much, but the thing is, if you check what`s there eg Lews Brew, it will have gone next time you look :laugh: and will have been replaced with something else !! Hence me having to place separate orders ???
In other news i got my 2nd Bellus built, filled with RY and had a quick vape, lovely :) Just hope it doesn`t start dry hitting later. Also i re-wicked the 1st one, so we will see tonight.:thumb:
Bob, i think i will have to change the o-rings on the AFC, as it is very loose and spins too easily, The one George sent me is fine though. :)

weird, that was a brand new one, I only opened the box took it apart to have a gander, think I put the single coil widget inside and then put it all back together again, just like I did with the one that I am using.

Just set up the Aromamizer you sent me, SV Titanium, dual 14 wraps each of 26g came out at 0.17ohms, horizontal build, with some Japanes cotton and some Yaeliq BUTTERSCOTCH :laugh: & at 60w/430F and it vapes, nice and cool, great flavour & good clouds on my woody DNA200
