Thanks guys for explanation, but I'm lost a bit here... :confused:
(1) How do you mean restricted? Is the hit warmer? (2) More like cigarette or low resistance atty? (3) I can feel a big difference in draw with original joy atty and clone.

  • I thought I explained it rather well
  • Not as airy as a 510, more air less flavour. Metaphorically speaking more air is like cutting juice with distilled water.
  • ... and you will. But draw is only part of the equation here, atty resistance (Ohms) plays a part as well, along with voltage

Update on my mix.

Mix is stabilised now completely and doesn't change taste at all now. If you wanna get it little bit sweeter add 2 rops of FA honey.
cheers
Honey will impart a flavour even in those low concentrations. A better choice is EM or even marshmallow at he same ratio, or a single drop/6-10ml of mask wizard.

I always thought - warmer atty produces more flavour. It looks the way it is actually other way round, is it?

Original joye atty which I believe has lower resistance than L2 atty produces warmer hit and little bit more flavour, that is my experience. (510)
Until you have experienced different atties with different resistance at 3.7V this will seem all academic to you.

In your experience your test subjects are 510 atties. One is working efficiently and the other not at 3.7V. If all thins were equal:

  • using a stock 510 at 3.7V nominal and 2.5 Ohms of resistance will produce 5.5 watts of power at the coil (heat)
  • OTOH using an L2 with a nominal resistance of 3.5 Ohms, requires 5V to produce the same power. At 3.7V it produces a mere 3.9 watts
If you could have a device that regulated the voltage precisely to mimick the output of the other, there would be no difference in taste. But definitely a difference in draw, as L2 draws harder, and because of that, vapour production would also be diminished somewhat.

Edit: Now let's bring this thread back on track.

Thanks Switched & Jofre! LOL on the Fridge smell...I freaking' knocked over 10ml of Desert Ship upon receipt (too many bottles on the counter :p). The whole kitchen smelled like a Tobacco Factory for 3 days...Awesome concentrates though...just getting into 'em all, but with the right tweak & patience...WONDERFUL STUFF!!!!!

Have a great week all :D - Best Mr.e

I know guys it is bit out of topic, but while I'm here...
can anybody tell me if there is eGO with auto battery? As I'm looking now I see manuals only.
thanks
Yup! From Janty. I can see an auto for a 510 or other mini cigs, but in all honesty I don't see 'em on larger mods, which the eGo is so to speak, as your cannot dangle an eGo from your lip. Auto batts are finicky wrt draw. Are you auto or manual now? Whatever U are, give the other a whirl with the 510. It's way cheaper than experimenting with the eGo batts.

Personal preference, manuals alllllllllllllll the way.

Another I have learned about FAs is - never save on your VG or PG. Do 4-5 or 6ml mix. Mystake I was doing from the beginning was doing 2-3 ml mix - you can NOT get the flavour right with such a small amount of liquid!
Wow! for single flavours I start with 0.5ml. 9 drops to 1 = 10%, 17 drops to 3 = 15% and 8 drops to 2 = 20%.

Having said that, after a while you come to understand that tobacco flavour is usually 2-3%, starting with 2% and tweaking on the larger mixes, remember that 1/3 drop I talked about.

Flavours you can count on a total of 20%, 25% is pushing it. So when deciding the percentages of multi flavoured juices, you need to decide what is the predominant flavour, and adjust the rest accordingly to fit the the 15-20% flavour range. For complex mixes, that is where the final tweaking comes into play, keeping in mind that as you mix different flavours together (even in the beginning) flavours alter other flavours. I hope this makes sense.

Oh, oh, schould have refeshed that page before I answered:

… Have you tried the eGo Alex? Because I sure don't know what it is, but that batt does something different or at least seems to, and I haven't figured it out yet. That being said, I am not about to refute your reference. But would sure like a logical explanation. :)

I've got an eGo. To be precise, I got 5 of them standing here :D
Coconut - Menthol - Tryout (currently with FA Caramel) - TA/EM - Spearmint

I haven't been able to even formulate an idea about the eGo and what it does differently, but something it does. It's not the voltage - Scottbee tested the eGo, too, and it has stock-510-3.1v. It's not the mAh either, although there is something odd there: 180mAh last me between 45 minutes and an hour. 280mAh last me maybe 1.5 hours, or a bit less. So why do 650mAh last me 6-8 hours?
And why does almost everything taste so much better on the eGo, even without a cover?

Mysteries, mysteries. And Mik isn't talking ;(

What's the problem letting an eGo dangle from your lips? I do that all the time when I type. Practice makes perfect :D
And eGo auto batteries exist; dunno if Janty USA currently has them, but I almost ordered them from Janty EU. Only nobody wanted to share a 5-pack ;(

I'm thinking about my following mix in next few days...

My setup is... lucky strike cigarette (I don't smoke cigarette for 4years now, RYO only before started vaping) on my desk and a loads of FAs. I will try to reproduce it. I think base will be desert ship, but I need to eliminate that nutty flavour which Desert ship has. Only need to keep tobacco flavour. Then I'm thinking about more drops of FA black pepper (5 or more) and see what that does...

I didn't have much success before with mixing FAs tobacco flavours together. Any recommends on this please lads?
