I just loaded up another tank of Coval Vapes PBB cream, I think you would like it. I don't get much banana at all, just creamy peanut butter. The flavor is nice and balanced, not too strong, but undeniably peanut butter, and very smooth. :)

Do they ever run any coupon codes. Just wanted to make sure before I ordered :). How about the nana puddin....anything els you guys recommend from them.

It is good but just not my thing. Very sweet and folks love it!! I will be glad to send you some to at least taste if you want. I will have to rinse out a small bottle of something else though to put it in, which is fine but it seems I can never ever get all the smell out of a bottle to put different juice in. I am glad to do that, just give me a shout.
i love their orange blossom and apple pie moonshine from their nebbia line which is their max vg. Those are two of my favs. Been a GLV fan from the beginning. Nanas nuts is awesome but it is 50/50 and I just can't do that anymore. Their smuckers and nerdy girl from their seduction line is pretty good too if you like fruity vapes, they are higher VG. Sandy loves those. I am more of a sweet custardy vape myself. I you like custards you have to try lion by illuminati, my all time fav. I just discovered their veritas liquid....that is some good stuff too. Blueberry lemon custard of sorts.


hmmm will have to check them out. Thanks!

Ok good to know on the Deadly Sin :) You can shoot me a little 5ml sample to taste, I would appreciate that :D

Lion by Illuminati duly noted. I think Giant Vapes carries Illuminati so I will have to check it out. I also came across this Mob Boss themed juice line on Mountain Oak Vapers "creme de la creme" , its all custard flavors, and I was so tempted to try Gotti and Capone I think it was. One was a vanilla custard and the other a blueberry custard.

Yeah, use code "reddit" I think its 10% off :)

ETA: I heard their Crunchberry is really good, Cranky used to like it. But I haven't tried any other flavors, but the quality is good and clean though.

I'm vaping some right now :). Now CLS is another story. I can't stand it fresh. Two months old or more, its fantastic.

I almost got CLS, those were the two that I was deciding between ... Creme Brulee won just because I LOVE real Creme Brulee, best desert everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Ok so who I am reordering a new pair of Samsungs from now?? .. What is crazy is that I did recently order a pair to put in the Dimitri which I didn't use at all, so I put them in the SXK V2 Flask ... but I can't remember who I ordered them from? Came with a nice battery case too ... Argh, what is wrong my memory right now :cry:

Illumn perhaps?
Ordered 2 batteries from them about week ago and they came in a case.

Yeah that is a little annoying ... Crocky how do you like Good Life's Deadly Sin? I had that one on my list and would snatch up yours but I need more than 3mg gurlfriend. :p

GLV deadly sin is faaaaantastic. It totally changes character with power. Lower settings for me get me more frosting and tone down the cinnamon, crank it up and get more pastry and way more cinnamon. YMMV, this is through a Nautilus mini rebuilt with a 1.1 ohm 26 gauge 3mm coil at anywhere between 18 and 35W. I haven't freed up a rebuildable tank for it yet. I have used 15ml of the bottle so far though. I love it.

Most NT juices need a long steep. But, CB and Virus I can go FOOB on.

I am thinking the same for Ahlusion because I am trying strawberry Vanilla cake for the first time after letting it steep a week and its near flavorless .. I can smell it, but I don't taste much. And my taste buds are pretty sensitive now. :(

Yeah I have not heard much negative feedback on it, mostly positive :)

Hun I don't think you should try to make due with something that just ain't right. Your money is worth more than that ... I say return that one too and exchange it for a completely different device with similar capabilities. Perhaps the SMOK M22? It has a few less watts, but its a better brand and it has mech mode :)

Or maybe something else, but I don't think you should be stuck with something that just ain't working right.

Thanks for the suggestion. The M22 looks very nice but I'm a replaceable battery kind of guy. Somebody mentioned that it's usually excess glue on one side of the PCB that causes the board to say TOO HOT because it can't breath. I'll try to remove the board on one of these, remove the glue, and see of that helps. If not then oh well. I still have an IPV Mini that I adore and Cloupor Mini on the way (I know.. danger! danger!). I'm disabled and can't drive so returning stuff is difficult. I'm also Cajun. which probably doesn't sound like it applies to this but we're more or less taught to be considerate of the business in these situations. There was a problem and focalecig tried their best to make it right. It didn't work out but that isn't what's important. Eleven went above and beyond my CS expectations. Respect earned. He/she sent me a new DNA without having to return the original defective one. I'll get one of them in working order even if I have to put in a new board. Vaping gets us off of those nasty coffin nails but it's also a great hobby. Disassembling and reassembling one of these counts as fun time! :laugh:

Smooth you say? :?: Not too strong you say? :| Creamy peanut butter? :drool:
Oh yeah. This one is definitely in my wheelhouse! I hope it isn't too sweet.

Well then I hope taking it apart to remove some hot glue does the trick :) And no, I wouldn't consider Coval Vapes PBB too sweet at all, minimal I would say.

Mine is great, had a problem with the rubber gasket breaking under the 510 pin, in the 1st month I had, stuck a oring under the 510 pin and never given me any problems, and it's had some abuse since I got it, if it wasn't for the delay firing and pointed buttons, I would love the thing.
Same here. Mine's a SKU 19557, cheaper today by a couple bucks than when I bought it last Sept. All I've done is installed neo magnets on the door. Had builds down to 0.6 ohm w/o issue. It went through a phase where the resistance read 0.3 ohm too high but only on builds over about 2.2 ohms but that resolved itself, besides it's not like I use builds having that much resistance.

I'm gonna give the temp control clones a while before deciding whether to pull the trigger. But with the tempered Ni wire, this is going to be hot.

I really doubt having hot glue around the board would be causing the problem. Cleaning up the excess hot glue will not hurt anything, certainly but mine was flat full of it and I never saw any "too hot" warnings. Instead, I'd be looking for cold solder joints- they'll look duller and 'grainy' compared to a nice smooth, shiny correctly done solder joint. The poor solder joint will cause high resistance and you know what high resistance equals- heat.
