Good Afternoon and Happy Saturday!!!! Couple of things I wanted to address.

First of all, are there any of you using carto tanks? Please don't send out the lynch mob, just asking. I bought that lovely magenta BAM from a fellow forum member and she sent carto tanks that I will NEVER use so I am giving them away.

Secondly, I built my Orchid V2 last night and have been vaping it along with the rest of the line up. This morning I have made some personal preference decisions. Taifun for emergency nicotine delivery and pretty good taste! Fogger V4 for an excellent throat hit and pleasurable all around vape. Orchid for flavor flavor flavor (I like 14 watts). And believe it or not my favorite is still my Ruzgar! That thing never floods, never leaks, never gets a burnt wick (I am changing the wick today because it's been a week, I know I'm gross) Flavor is above amazing and it is child's play to build. If they made it with a decent size tank it would be my only tank! As it is it holds so little I am refilling it 1-2 times a day and it's in a rotation for Pete's sake! Aqua and Squape have found a new home with my daughter in law because I didn't care for either of them. Wish I had Drifters skills and I could fix the Ruzgar! Nikki, if you're talking to FT perhaps you could mention it and see if there are other options for the Ruzgar?

What are your favorites and why?

    I only change my wicks once a week, sometimes longer depending how much I am vaping on what I'm using, if wick goes off before the weekend, then just gets put to one side till the weekend.

    Foggers was my favorite for a while and still are my work toppers, but since I have made a custom kayfun/russian, which I love the looks of it and gives great flavor, then got the lemo, which has a big tank and pretty good flavor, also real easy to build on due to the large deck it has, but the Orchid beats all with how good the flavor gives, but the plastic tank and how small the tank is, are big negatives to me, so will only be a 'at home' topper.

    I will probably try the rose at some point, but hit my budget limit for this month, so maybe next month I will see what Nikki keeps raving about :)

    General thoughts on the Rose that focal is selling? I know there have been quite a few posts on it already, but I'm thinking of getting one in a few weeks and am gathering info. It looks kinda tricky to build, and just looking at photos I don't see where the positive and negative connections even are. Anyone got a link to a good from-the-ground-up video on it? And is the diameter on that thing 23mm or 24mm?

    I'll admit that I'm intrigued just by the sheer....exoticness of it. :)

    Nothing wrong with Carto's in Carto Tanks, they are my ADV, using an IBTanked with 2.1Ω carto right at the moment. I just do the rebuildables to play with, carto's are just so easy. I loaded 4 tanks this morning as I like to let them soak before use. :D Seems a lot of people are getting away from carto's, I have gotten quite a few (and tanks) from the classies. Just counted and I have over 140 carto's on the shelf (and that's just the full boxes), Don't want to run out. :lol: :)

    I loved carto tanks, but then got into rebuildables, now I don't spending money on anything where you have to buy carto's or coils for, buy a reel of wire and some cotton and good for months, and the money I've saved, go towards more mods :)

    Looks really good. You made me go watch one of Pete Busardo's extra long videos on it but it was worth it. I think I'm gonna have to try one.

    While I was watching the video my new Orchid managed to leak all over the place. Not a good sign!

    Allergic to high PG hun, gives me terrible headaches .. and I don't like the way it makes juice tastes. Everything is sharp and tangy-ish to me. I am a VG girl :banana: If Alien Visions can make 100% VG at 12mg have great throat hit, then so can everyone else. :p
    Believe it or not, PG makes me break out. I'm down to 50/50, but afraid to go any lower. Is there much of a difference in taste in all VG? I always thought that the PG gave you the throat hit, which I'd hate to give up. Good grief, if I find out if I have a bad ticker, I'll be on zero nic and zero PG! :blush:

    Psst it's Phil not Pete, he hates being called Pete :laugh:

    Yes I watched his video on the lemo before I bought it, he is right about that air control ring, that thing is a PITA, it so loose, hopefully they will address that in the future, I did have some leaking on my 1st build on it, but I re-wicked and put more cotton in the next time, and is a lot better.

    Had no problems with the Orchid leaking, apart from when filling it up, and only a loose a small amount of juice, I blow out the chimney and all is good after that.

    She just said to cut down. Wait for the test results before you start worrying, or you'll give yourself one. :laugh: Too bad about the PG allergies, you guys. There's probably still some additive out there that you can use.

    How about Sofias? Don't those things fit in carto tanks?

    Good to hear about the Ruzgar. I've been thinking about one of those, because little miss matchy-matchy (me) likes the oval cutouts that go perfectly with my mod.

    Cindy it would SO match your mod! Better than a Squape would. What is a Sofia? Never mind...looked it up, no way!

    If you aren't into rebuildable's I can understand the "no way", otherwise I'm shocked. The Sofia has the best flavor, vapor production and easier to setup of all the carto tank RBAs I've tried and I think I've tried them all.
