I forgot my disclaimer to say I am not responsible if your taste buds don't taste the goodness ...but I will say this, if you don't like it you will be among very few

This disclaimer is TOO LATE! "not responsible if your taste buds don't taste the goodness"

If its from FT then of course its authentic I just saw an Eviva T that was in the classies for $100 bucks and it was hard not to grab because its a nice looking atty. But I can't get any more atties, I still have 5 brand new atties that I have not used .. which reminds me, I have been meaning to pick up one of those atty/mod stands from FT cause I need it BAD!

I bought two packs of those stands.

I do recommend the Eviva-t for flavor junkies who vape mouth to lung. You can buy a new one for nearly the asking price of that one.

 

[roxynoodle]

I missed this post earlier and I never noticed this mod on FT before, but I agree, I like the red accents on this. You could always pair this with the Aqua V1 Cin .. FC has two versions on sale recently

That would be nice for the Aqua v1 or Erlkonigin.

So did anyone jump on the lenola cream bandwagon? I have it in cart but I am hesitant because I am buying too much juice lately. Seduce Juice contacted me to find out why I didn't complete my order, and I gave them an ear full. So they apologized and sent me a 24% coupon code, so I got my sample pack. I was also going to use it on some more Five Pawns Gambit but they only has 18 &24mg in stock

I also had some Carmel pear black tea and Cafe au Lait in cart over at Ahlusion .. And I was looking at Mountain Oak Vapors too, so I can't make up my mind

If that lenola cream is any good it's pretty cheap, 120ml bottle works out to $5.15 for 15ml shipped after using the discount code Nailz posted! I look forward to see what folks have to say about it.

Question, what is a "Reddit hug"?

Oh you didn't know? Doris bought an Eleven 1:1 Get it " Eleven 1:1" I heard that Eleven wants a raise (true story) so she may be on a new path to proving herself

OK, Nik - get really, really close to your monitor:

That's for that last joke.

Wow, what nerve. She should just be happy she hasn't gotten fired yet!

Yeah, what bugs me more is that the push switch is up on top.

If it were 22mm and like the Skeleton Key with the switch at the bottom, I would've been all over that AND the black one.

I won't be buying anything because I won't have any money left ... after making my 3rd juice purchase today I innocently went to the e-liquid section to check out any possible threads on Seduce Juice or Kite in clouds and the first thread I see is for 49% off all juice at Moon Mountain Vapors (code XLIV??)

So I got a 5 bottle 15ml sample back for $24.60 shipped! The sample pack was $42.99 before coupon ... I can't stop

I might seriously need an intervention

I think Reddit forums is the reason they blew up with this singular flavor, so it was just their cute way of saying "reddit hype" I believe

That almost happened a few times actually .. I still have never spoken to Eleven though, and I think that is for the best!

It should be illegal for you to do that to Haley Berry Cindy you need to embrace the innovation, the Omega mech was actually a top firing mech like that and I used to really like the look of that one too. I think its a nice looking mech so you should just go for it so I can get a better look at it. Those red Chinese symbol accents are kind of sexy.

To whomever suggested that I give the Aqua a try. Thanks for the suggestion. Not bad although I prefer my Fogger V4.3 and V5 for the dual coil huge liquid channel designed atomizer. Are you supposed to be able to turn the center chamber / chimney section to adjust for juice flow, rather like the Erl, (couldn't spell the name out if I had to)? And you screw the tank off and on to cover and uncover the pair of air holes to adjust air flow?

Speaking of the Erl.. I'm not particularly happy with the one I got. Tried a few different builds and wicking, all were a very hot vape with little flavor even with juice control turned so high that it leaked.

The USA warehouse Kato arrived with the Aqua. Nicer than the China warehouse sourced one. Deeper, cleaner, darker and just all around better looking engraving. Mechanically, with just a day of use, they seem identical. Seems to hit pretty well considering the spring contact for the battery which I thought would cause more of a voltage drop than it apparently does.

Is this the v1 Aqua? You turn the tank to adjust the airflow. The juice control is independent and is adjusted via the chimney. It does have good flavor

The Erlkonigin doesn't have juice control. I never get a hot vape from it. I can help with the wicking if needed.

So did anyone jump on the lenola cream bandwagon?

I took advantage of their 25% sale on Black Friday.

I have to say - it's one of the best, if not *the* best, juices I've ever tried. And I've tried a lot of premium juice (as well as a lot of smaller/cheaper companies), and Lenola Cream is about as close to perfect as I've come across, IF you like the general flavor profile.

I think Jackfruit is one of the main flavorings, along with maybe some lemon (?) and a lot of creaminess and bakery in the background. It is *very* smooth, light but not flavorless, sweet without being cloying/syrupy, and definitely suitable as an ADV.

It changes flavor over time/in various setups, but I would say it usually lands somewhere between "mixed fruit salad with cream" and "banana cream pie" (with occasional bursts of "lemon pie").

I'm generally a bakery/dessert vapes kinda guy. My favorite flavors are a good caramelly RY4 (think TFA RY4 Double with Bavarian Cream and Caramel), Cinnamon Cereal/Cinnamon Roll, Fruit Cheesecakes, Coffee and Cream, etc., so Lenola Cream is definitely within my preferred flavor proffile. Not a huge van of "fruity" vapes, so I would say that this has a lot more going on than your average fruit vape.

Definitely as good as any premium vendor (and a lot better than most) for much less money. I highly recommend.

(And I'm reminded that I'm almost out of my first 30ml - time to order the 120ml! lol)

I should add that it is one of the only juices I have ever tried that was just as good FOOB as it was steeped. The flavor changed with steeping, but it was smooth and the flavors were blended right from the start. That was impressive to me...

Thanks for the detailed feedback on Lenola cream, I am so looking forward to it .. and quit stealing my DIY RY4 recipe Although I do add one more ingrediant which is Acetyl Pyrazine (nutty bready flavor) .. this recipe used to be my #1 love but I have finally grown a little tired of it. But that is with DIY in general.

Oh, you like that combo, too? That's one of my favorite RY4s. Of course, I still buy other RY4s just to keep things interesting, lol.

Oh yeah - forgot to mention the AP. AP is always required.

Of course, I also mix up the various flavorings, too, depending on my mood, so I was intending for that to be an ADV taste comparison rather than a recipe suggestion, lol. Next time I'll be sure to post my favorite flavors and percentages as references, lol...

Regardless, I really feel like Kite in Cloud deserves all the shout outs they can get. I feel they've earned it (moreso than almost any other vendor I can think of, honestly).

 

[cobalt327]

That tears it- just went there and ordered a 60 ml. This is setting my DIY back, but with all the positive reviews I just have to try it! I'm thinking they must be fairly close to me, got nipped for GA state and county tax.

Yes, V1 Aqua. Yes flavor is good. Still prefer my Foggers though

As far as the Erlkonigin goes, isn't that washer like piece designed to keep the wick in place as you unscrew the chimney via the drip tip and isn't that for juice control? The version I got has a standard drip tip adapter along with the standard unique diameter drip tip. I was worried about the adapter since its much smaller than the original drip tip but there's enough material there to turn so adjusting works OK. I know airflow is via the black plastic hexagonal piece on the underside where the 510 connector is. But always hot vape as if there isn't enough e-liquid at the wick. Nothing too fancy for the coil, 8 wraps 30 gauge Kanthal on 2mm for about 1.2 ohms.

We think that ring is more for holding silica wicks in place. I don't use it as air bubbles seem to get trapped by it and then it doesn't wick well. I also took off the black afc things on the bottoms.

Give me a bit and then I'll try to get some pics and instructions up for you on the wick. I use a 1.3 ohm 3/32" coil.

1. First I seperate little tails for the side channels and trim them just above where the threads end on the base for the chimney.

2. Then I trim the big part of the wick vertically right to the edge of the base on each side.

3. Last I cut a bit off the top of each of those wick shoulders to match the chimney angle. Now you have a wick that fits exactly inside the chimney.

Fill quickly but not forcefully. If you take too long a couple drops might come out the bottom.

Oh cool .. can't wait to hear everyone's feedback and opinions when we all receive it .. May have to start a thread in the General E-liquid section though

 

[bsoplinger]

I'm always interested in decent tasting e-liquid at bargain prices so I'll be watching to see what folks think. I like Killer Juice, not quite as cheap as before but still has a half dozen or more flavors on sale each Wednesday thru Sunday. Only takes credit cards, no PayPal, 3 or 4 bucks for 15ml for their standard line, 6 for their premium flavors (which are very good).

I'll give those hints for wicking the Erl a try. Figured it can't be as bad as my experience since quite a few folks seem to like it.
