Flavor strength and bottle sizes

[NLites]

Taking advantage of the Gourmet Vapor sale - just wondering how long a 5ml bottle could potentially last a light vaper on an 808, and also how much flavor a "normal strength" flavor juice provides? I know it's subjective, just asking for opinions. GV goes all the way up to triple strength, but it's almost hard to imagine that tasting good - anyone used triples?

Most vapers use 1.5 to 5ml per day. One KR808D-1 carto holds about 1ml. And 18-24 drops is about 1ml. You should know about how many drops you go through per day. Try small bottles to test the GV juices - the shipping is not cheap so you may as well get several bottles to try. You can always salvage ones you don't like by mixing with other juices like a good vanilla or a good plain tobacco juice.

Flavor at GV - unfortunately that varies especially since many flavors are customer-created. Some juices are too weak without double flavor and some are fine at single flavor. Now is the time to experiment, during a 50% off sale (code vapercon I think through sometime 8/16).

Peach seems to be a pretty weak flavoring - I would recommend extra or double flavor with peach. That one I know from using Peach in the flavor creator. Pomegranate is a strong flavor. The chocolate/cocoa are a bit weak. Blackberry seems OK. Rum is fine (normal Rum flavor, not PG Rum) - I use 20% rum in some flavors I make. I love their vanillarum (vanilla w/ caramel and rum - probably customer made and I get normal flavor)

I buy 80PG/20VG juices so most of the flavor does get through (and low VG keeps my cartos working well longer) - if you use higher VG you will be more likely to need more flavor since VG dulls flavor and TH.

It'll probably last you about a week but most people don't just do one flavor. So you might not even use the standard 1.5ml/day.
You just gotta try a flavor first and see if you like it or want it stronger, then the next time you'll know what to order.

GV recommends 80%pg/20&vg on every juice I picked, so I may as well just go with that. I'll bump up all my mixes with chocolate to doubles though. The more I learn about VG the more I wonder why anyone uses it - clogs up the atomizer faster, dulls taste, less vapor (from some of what I've read)...about the only big advantage seems to be that I can go to a local store and buy it.

VG gives you more vapor production, PG gives you more TH - some people go with even 100% (or close) VG juices as they don`t tolerate PG or just don`t enjoy a good throat hit. It does tend to clog your atty and I`d never use a high vg juice in a cart - but each to his own. As for GV ... start with regular flavorings imo, a lot of flavors will be just too overwhelming at double or tripple dose

I could equate 5ml with about 2 packs of cigarettes. I vape pretty constantly and go through about 3ml a day.

Each person goes through a different amount - it depends not only on how much they vape and how big their drags are but also on their equipment. Tanks and LR attys/cartos can go through juice faster than most other ways. Easiest way to tell is vape from one bottle for a couple of days and eyeball what percent it goes down each day.

I only use triple flavoring, it tastes great. GV is my only supplier for juices. I use 50/50 mix on a Reo Grand with 2.0 atty.

I was a one and a half to two pack a day smoker and I tend to go through about 4ml at 30mg/ml a day. I know 'cause I just mixed up a trial of 5ml cranberry lemonade last night and am almost through it today. Enjoy!
