I do that too, but it doesn't always work out the way you think it would when it's in the same bottle...right, Nikki?

I use the magma to experiment with the ratios.

I mix flavors a lot, especially Nicoticket ones. CLS and CB. Got Cookie (chocolate) with cherry, strawberry, raspberry or cheesecake. I've done chocolate raspberry cheesecake, too. As soon as I have more banna pudding I wanted to try that with chocolate. And make "banana split" with several :)

So how do you like Banana pudding from Nicoticket?

I've been putting a FC Orchid v4 through it's paces. Been vaping on it with a few different builds and so far it kinda rocks. It's getting just about as much love (vape time) as the Lemo. I see most people here are raving about the Rose v2 and if it's nicer than the Orchid I have to get one. :laugh:

I think the Aqua V2 is better vape than the Orchid .. more dense flavor production IMO. For me the Rose V2 is a different vape than both of those, a sharp flavor producing atties with a little less vapor production.

I don't go for vapor production. It's all about a nice smooth vape with pretty open airflow. Sounds like the Rose V2 will be my next atty.
Thanks for the recommendation. :thumbs:

How does the Aqua V2 compare to the Squape R in that regard?

I just switched back to my Orchid after a couple of weeks of gennies and SqR- tons of vapor and flavor, but it's feeling a little too thin and airy to me right now. Taking a little time to get used to it again. :/

For me it's not always the ratio - sometimes chemicals don't mix right. I forget what the flavors were, but once a couple of flavors that were great on their own ended up tasting like carrots! :laugh:
If you're into banana split, OneonOne has "Sundae Toppings" on closeout for 50¢. I have some. Not too bad! :thumb:

Way back in the day of cartos, they used to have this:
Double-Barrel-Cartomizer-Adapter-Title-500x500.jpg

That's when I started wondering about what having two separate flavors at the same time would be like.

Wait. :ohmy: That sounded kinda kinky, huh? :laugh:

If you like dual coils and have the device to power it, it would work, but breaks Ms Nikki's rules for a topper, does not look right on anything. I know because I have one. :facepalm:

I wouldn't touch the clouper, reports coming of them burning up and poor response from clouper on the problem, as reported here - Taste Your Juice | Cloupor Mini – Heats… ah I mean… Heads Up

Well as they say, your only one big lawsuit away from being out of business. If one of those burned my house down or my car up I'd be running to a lawyer. In the mean time, if I had one of these I'd take the battery out when ever I wasn't using it or try to get a safety fuse in it. Isn't there little washer size disk fuses that set on top of a battery? I'd try to get one of those in it if there are.

I did try them Burnie :) The peanut butter cookie is the same for me as I have heard some others describe, it tastes like roasted peanuts, I don't get any cookie from it ... yet. I have had peanut butter cookies with roasted peanuts on top, so I am wondering if this what Nicoticket was going for? It doesn't taste bad at all, no weird or chemical tastes, just hoping that the cookie aspect will come out more with steeping.

I am firm believer that juice steeps better with some space in the bottle, because its needs as much air as possible. So I vaped one tank full and now I will leave it to age. I tried the Banana pudding in a dripper, and I didn't get much flavor. So I am letting that steep more too before I try it again. The color has already changed a lot on it, it has become super dark, so it may be close to ready.

I did try mixing the two and that was a mistake :laugh: It didn't taste good Burnie :cry: So I will continue to vape them apart :p

Now you .. you weren't able to find anything by googling Nivel V3 chip? There has to be some way to get your hands on the authentic .. maybe try the Semovar V3 thread here on the forum?

I try to remember and take the cap off the bottles for a half hour or so every day when I steep my juices, if there is something in the juice giving a bad flavor that will evaporate it needs to be exposed to fresh air or it will take forever. Sometimes I'll speed steep in either a slow cooker hot water bath or in my heated ultra sonic cleaner at 140°-150°F for a few hours then let the juice steep for another week or two, it really shortens the steep time. But you can't leave the caps loose or else you'll get water or water vapor in your juice. :facepalm: I only use glass bottles with the droppers, the rubber squeeze bulb on the top will expand when the juice heats. I take the dropper tube out first because the heat will push the juice up the dropper and may go into the cap. You also have to mark the bottles because the labels will come off, paper or Sharpie! I found out the hard way, I had six bottles with different levels of the same flavors that I was experimenting with, I marked bottles with a Sharpie 1, 2, 3, ect., when I took them out of the UC the numbers were gone. :facepalm: Now I use colored rubber bands on the necks of the bottles. One of these days I'm going to try using sand instead of water in my slow cooker, that should eliminate the problems of loosing the labels and having to leave the caps on while steeping. But if you use sand, you can't use it in a UC and you'll want to sanitize it first, there's a lot of nasty (dead) stuff in sand. :ohmy:

Which is why I only mix Nicoticket. They really do all play well together :)

    Vaporflask "V3" 40W clones are up this morning. Looks to have temperature control? I don't really want one... but I do kind of want one. :facepalm:

    What do you know about these Nikki? And when can we expect the review? ;)

    Yes of course they did, because I just ordered a V2 VF from the other place last night :facepalm:

    Been waiting a long time for a VF, so decided to pull the trigger on the V2 last night, but I am not interested in the temp control and the one I ordered is a 40watt flask, so not to bothered, but would of rather ordered from FC personally.

    I don't think Nikki has any info about the VF focal posted today, as was talking to her about ordering the VF last night, and she never mentioned FC was getting one this soon.

    I have noticed their juice does get better with age. From posts I have read some take 60 to 90 days, and get better the longer they steep. Some do taste good FOOB, and I have enough to see how some of them mature over time.


    Now you .. you weren't able to find anything by googling Nivel V3 chip? There has to be some way to get your hands on the authentic .. maybe try the Semovar V3 thread here on the forum?
    Yes I have used Google many times, trying different search words, looking for another clone chip or even the origional (depending on price), but have had no luck, all I am finding is the full mod. I'm not going to reset it and see if it is just the indicator lights, or if the mod shuts off before the battery is dead. I only use my larger mods at home, so no big deal.

    IMO, the Aqua V2 poops on the Squape R .. for me the air flow is smoother, and the vape is richer, fuller feeling. I don't even know where my Squape R is at the moment (true story). I put it some where and have yet to go looking for it :laugh:

    I also feel like my atomizer resistance was more stable on the Aqua vs the Orchid .. I did like the Orchid when I used it, but it didn't make a big enough impression on me to make me keep using it.

    Go Aqua Cindy, you won't regret it :banana: The Russian 2.0 is also a favorite of mine at the moment, I really enjoy this atty. Flavor = A+ , throat hit = A+, Vapor production = A+

    :laugh: Well, because you have that "get out of Pow Pow" free card, you just got out of Pow Pow free :glare" ... I was actually about to threaten you with one, and then I remembered that you have a lifetime exemption :laugh:

    A lot of folks may not know this but Burnie is a OG spendaholic, I remember when he had his credit card # memorized :sneaky:

    Yes, that is the Kangxin Vapor Flask V3 with Temp Protected clone chip, that I just sent your girlfriend a very long skype LECTURE for completely botching the description for this item. If they didn't show the Temp screen shots you would have no way of knowing that this is the TP clone chip from the description :facepalm:

    Here is what I know ... the Kangxin VF V3 TP clone does not have a usb charging port, the TP function has been reported as legit and functional according to some dude in UK that Doris knows and is friendly with .. his name is Robby. He has a thread about it on AAEC

    While I was working on getting a sample for review, I told Doris about it and it turns out that one of her bosses is friends with one of the Kangxin bosses, and so now FC has it too. Although this one guy has said it is legit, I need to know for myself and will not call the TP legit until I have it in hand and test it ..

    Being that Doris is not really knowledgeable about this technology, she obviously didn't know how to list it properly :glare: I will guide her in her product description revisions :p Just like the real deal the TP only works with pure Nickel wire, and TP can be set from 200F - 600F ... That is all I have at the moment :D

    ETA: you can expect the review sometime next month ... and there is another manufacturer of a TP VF V3 clone, I have actually been waiting for that sample since November :glare: So I will be getting that one too ... when its finally done :unsure:
