Focalecig chat...Part 2

[Nikkita6]

I've finally managed to coil the 2nd Tobeco Aqua. This one is much looser in the oring and threading department. Almost to an annoying degree, but still better than the first one. I had to use pliers and actual man-muscle (hubby) to disassemble the first one. [emoji23]

Now I've just gotta fix the wicking. I'm way off my game the past couple days. I'll do the Dripper or the new N22 (or both) tomorrow.

I also managed to get a build on the Plume Veil successfully. Wow. That's one fun atty. Oodles of air like the Vertex, but way less harsh. Me likey. it's a nice, smooth, airy vape just like I like it. Could do with a bit more warmth, but I'm still learning my way around it.

Nikki, I begin to understand how you feel now and I don't even have half the stuff you do. I can't keep up with the tank explosion I created.

That is why eliquids are my new obsession Although this is threatening to catch up to me as well ... Potion XXIV Geisha is good stuff

I received my copper cartel from the wheel destiny too and was pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish. The engraving looks top notch and I love that it has some kind of clear coat on it to keep the copper looking shiny. I like that it's 22mm but the top still tapers so no 22mm attys sit flush. I had no intention of keeping it when I won it but after handling it in person I think I will.

Potion XXIV Geisha is good stuff

Picked up the whole line of Potion XXIV in December - gotta say, I'm really impressed with their juice. I think you are about the only other person I've come across anywhere who has tried it, and that surprises me, given how high quality their juice is.

Geisha is definitely an interesting vape, and really satisfying when I need something "different" (not exactly a fit with my flavor profile, but it's still better than most). Love love love both Split (one of the best juices I've ever come across) and Sacred (which deliciously similar to Lenola Cream, incidentally). Their Sin is also one of the best cinnamon bakery juices I've tried, and Capone, while far from an ADV for me, is a great rich tobacco. And then there's Pure, which...well, I better stop, as I seem to keep derailing this thread with a lot of talk about juice, lol!

Just good to see I'm not alone in my juice love, lol...carry on!

They are on my list - will get to them eventually! lol

I have tried them a couple of times and was not that impressed. Although that was many many months ago,
Probably a year or more almost when he was getting up and going. May have to revisit. Aside of the flavor not hitting it for me, I think it was the order format that also drove me away. When I have so many choices, of adding fruit, more flavor and having to use a certain scale to have to figure out when ordering I tend to move along. I don't want to spend two or three bottles trying to figure out how the juice taste best. I like it when a vendor has a blend that works without having to add all those options. Not that his don't work, it is just the options drive me batty, I like to have options of nic and size and PG/VG but that is about it.

Trying to stay in topic, I am really liking that Yosen FC posted yesterday

Anyone have any experience with this?

 

[The.Drifter]

Tried some new juice myself this week

Went with the High Roller Sweets line this week. Gotta love the packaging, looks like a Casino Chip holder. The bottles are 35ml cubes that look like dice and its even packed with a shredded dollar bill LOL

So far I like 2 of the flavors right out of the bottle, gonna visit the other bottles again in a couple weeks so they can steep some more.

Also got two Le Petit Gros mods in, here is the SS one sporting a Sat22

$56.41-$57.01 LUXYOUN 30W Variable Wattage VW Box Mod - Brown

Anyone have any experience with this?

Todd reviewed the 100W and liked it except for saying a 100W mod shouldn't be single battery (agree!). I've thought about the 30 or 50W. Apparently the build quality is decent, and its accurate.

I felt the same way about all the options but those are all gone now. You just choose the nic, PG/VG ratio, and if you want you can add an 11ml bottle of just flavor to tweak it yourself.

It's hard to commit to 100ml bottles but now he has the 11ml sample bottles for $3.

Luckily for me two of his flavors are my ADV and at his price it makes testing some of the other more expensive premium juices a little easier on the wallet.

That was my reaction when I saw them. Figured anyone offering 100W, let alone 150W, single battery mods didn't really understand what they were making. Good to see that at least they're building them decently if Todd liked it. The 30W caught my eye too but I wanted to wait to hear about fit and finish from someone who had hands on experience with the mod.

With all these regulated mods coming out of China, it seems quality of workmanship and materials is what will set the different products apart. There's only like 2 sources of the actual chip, what Clouper uses and the Yhi one, or am I wrong?

I heard about Yaeliq a few years ago, but for me it was too much of risk ordering from Israel so I never tried them .. but I have always heard mostly good things about Yaeliq.

I had never heard of them until I ran across it in the classies. I have never made or purchased any sort of peach based flavor before but I was intrigued by the name. So glad I got it because I love it. It is so delicious and different, not what I would expect from a peach juice ... and I agree, the quality is great. Such a well balanced flavor with depth and character, and I am definitely ordering more even though I wish they had 30ml bottles.

I also could not find any feedback on it, just one juice review which did not accurately describe the flavor at all. The reviewer kept calling it a peach Tobacco which it is NOT. I don't even know where she got that from. Its peach, cream and nuts, there is nothing reminiscent of tobacco to me.

I actually looked at High Roller while I was shopping on Seduce juice, but the packaging was too over the top for me. Nice that its 35mls though ...

I am with ya on that .. I don't mind picking my VG/PG ratios, but thats it .. I need to start a juice discussion thread

Glad you like the Yosen SX, I think that one is a sleeper right now. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did because the idea of a resin body didn't appeal to me on paper. But the reviewer in me had to have it, because I need to know if its crap or not .. I thought I would be put off by the lightweight, but it was the opposite. I had a hard time putting it down.

You would think that first, more substantial feeling DNA Zero would have been the winner, but strangely enough the Yosen SX is far and away better. Of course having the Yihi SX300C chip is a large part of that, it is a much better chip than the one in the DNA Zero .. also Love this switch too

So you are getting along good with the G Sensor?

 

[Nikkita6]

I just saw that FC listed the 50W Kangxin Vapor Flask with no Temperature Protection, which is nice for those who feel like they don't need or want the TP feature. Was a little surprised that Kangxin still has the V3 engraved on the bottom though It should just say 50W or something.... or nothing

Am I the only here who likes or has tried Yaeliq juice?

I just placed my 3rd order with them today. They're very hit or miss. The flavors I've tried and my rough scores for them are:
Banana Nut Bread:7/10
BanaNut: 7/10
Black-cherry: 4/10
Mint Candy: 4/10
Pina Colada: 7/10
Pumpkin Pie: 7/10
Symphonia: 8/10
Woody Cider: 9/10

Gotta say, Symphonia is a very nice tobacco and Woody Cider is one of my favorite flavors from anywhere. Pina Colada is another good one but I prefer a little more pineapple. I always order everything without any added flavor shots, sweetener or anything else. I prefer mild flavors that are less sweet. Some of these I dilute with flavorless to make them a little milder but I do that with lots of juice. I REALLY like to add a touch of a minty flavor to Woody Cider.

Anyone have any experience with the current batch of SMPLs on FC?

I want to pick one up with my $10 coupon, but I'm not quite sure of the quality.

Can't order the USA warehouse version due to the coupon, so...

I initially wanted black, but looks like all the blacks have painted threads, and I'm too lazy to scrub the paint off, lol. The black one's are out.

So next choice would be the copper, and since I don't want a copper switch (again, too lazy for the maintenance required), that leaves the cheap copper and the expensive copper.

Finally, I admit to be slightly worried about stripping the 510 on the copper, so I might get the SS (only one choice there - easy! lol).

Any thoughts or input would be appreciated! (and yes, I did read the reviews on the site, lol)

Anyone have any experience with the current batch of SMPLs on FC?

I received this one a few weeks ago and love it: $12.22-$12.09 SMPL Style Mechanical Mod - Copper

I paid $10.88 and I think it dropped even lower a few days later, but it's very much worth the current price. To me it's not a drawback but to others it might be; it doesn't have a clear coat, so the copper will start getting dark the moment it gets handled regularly. I kind of like it that way since it will patina naturally over time, but applying a layer or two should prevent that.

It's the smallest 18650-sized mech mod I own and thanks to the pin-less design, also the hardest hitting (so be sure your have an atomizer that has a protruding center pin contact).

I got Symphonia and woody cider with my last order but haven't tried them yet. They gave me a bottle of woody cider for my bday, I usually only order tobacco flavors. Asian RY4 with graham cracker is one of my ADV.

I think I'll try the Symphonia in the Limwell Taifun GT2 clone I just received from FC
