Darling your porn is getting better and better all the time :) I didn't even know that you had the Kato Square Box :)

AiV= Alice in Vapeland, and the hole is not always open :glare: I just tried to buy some off of Giant Vapes and of course they were out of stock on all AiV flavors :facepalm: Its all good, I got my Snake Oil and some Nicoticket Creme Brulee .. I didn't want 30ml bottles though, but that was all they had.

Back to your FC Kato porn ... Awesome! :laugh:

You can order direct from Alien Visions E-Juice

My top 3 current overpriced addictions are: Duffy by The Collection, O.B. by Suicide Bunny, and Eclipse by Space Jam.

Before this turns into a juice thread let me post a little FC porn while I still have a chance. :) This is my new pocket mod from the sale last week. Wanted to post before it suffers any unfortunate pocket incidents. ;)

Vape Wild had several tobacco flavors in addition to the usual stuff and was cheap enough for me to take a gamble. Not much expectation though.

Dr. Juice has been added to my list of things to try. Let's see if I can get my B&M guy to order some samples. Thank you for another outlet for my money Temptress. :D

Wait for my review to post before you try them as they gave me 15% coupon to post with the review, that I am also waiting to use :laugh: Scheduled for 2/9 ...

I played with DIY juice for a few months but never really had the patience for it. Most of my juice comes from Yaeliq now. I like his tobaccos and it's hard to beat 100ml for $18 or 11ml sample for $3. I don't do dessert or custards. I find them way to rich...but that's just me. As a kid and until this day I never really liked cookies, cake, and all those other sweet baked stuff. Some fruit juice is okay if it's not the candied type. I tend to like light tobacco juices with a hint of flavor or slightly sweet taste.

You don't like cake or cookies? :ohmy: :blink: ... our friendship is over, I don't trust people who don't like cake :glare:


Kidding :laugh:

@Fa-Q ... Hoho my friend, seems I was wrong and you will get your wish. Just found out that Cigabuy is selling DNA 40 TP clone chips :) Now I have no idea who makes this chip, I didn't see any of the KX markings on it for Kangxin, but it is claiming to be a DNA 40 TP clone so here ya go :)

$30.55 $35.36 - DNA 40 40W Box Mod Chip with Temperature Control - Cigabuy

Im surprised they cloned it with all the problems with it. Then again maybe they fixed the screen problem. Whooohhh I would have been so ...... to drop 250 on a mod and the screen scrambled and stopped increasing watts at 40. I dont know for sure if its all than and a bag chips but Grimm Green did not have good things to say about it today.

What do you guys think anyone can comment?

I don't know why, baked goods just never did it for me. I have to scrap all the frosting off my cake before I will eat it. Weird, I know. That's not to say I don't have a sweet tooth. I almost always have some type of gummy snack in the house like sour patch kids or haribo gummy bears...but when it comes to vape juice even those candied flavors are too much for me. I tried some gummy peach ring flavored juice once and no way could I vape a whole tank of that stuff but if you put a bag of gummy peach ring candy in front of me it'll be gone in seconds.

What if I give all my cake and cookies to you since I don't eat them anyway. Can we still be friends then:)

Man, you guys were busy after I went to bed last night! I'm kind of ambivalent about ITC. I've only tried a few of their juices with mixed results. Of the ones I've tried I think I liked Heaven's Bounty the best. The Silver RY4 was straight nasty. I still have some Spoonlicker OG - it's not terrible but it's taken me over three months to vape about 10ml out of my 30ml bottle. I just don't like it enough to vape it very often.

My go to budget juice vendor is Open Source Vapor. PG free, 100% organic flavorings, all ingredients listed on the site, great prices, great flavors, and great service. My current faves from OSV are Vanilla Chai, Spicy Peach Mango, and Aphrodite's Sin. It's all made to order so it does take a little steeping time for the flavors to meld.

Anyway...

Hey Inswva .. what happened with you and the Hobo/LPG? I remember when you got it, but I don't recall you posting any follow up thoughts on it.

I love the Hobo and LPG. It's my stealth pocket mod for when I'm dragged along on shopping excursions, lol. Both pieces are super high quality. The SXK Hobo is very nice. I plan on buying an OG Hobo in the next couple of weeks and look forward to comparing them. I'm willing to bet the SXK Hobo is damn near as good as the OG. I'd consider the LPG/Hobo kit one of the best FC purchases I've ever made considering the price point.

lol... and now I read that you've heard it actually *is* junk! Meh, no biggie. I'll smack into submission.

Just keep your expectation low like I am. It increases the chance you'll be pleasantly surprised. If not, it'll be like you only lost a meatball sandwich.

My original plan for this flash sale is complete: killed a Hobo instantly. Oops?

I need a couple more Flavors and then I can start trying to DIY more of my favorites. So far I've only done the one and it's still missing something. I'm afraid if I go much further with it, making it just right will become my new obsession so I've been trying other juices in attempts to avoid that. [emoji23]

Give you a simple recipe with fruits.
(any fruit) I chose Juicy Peach 10%
French Vanilla 10%
Brown sugar 2%
50/50 mix at your nic level.

Comes out pretty good.

    Nailz,
    I found this preorder for the IPV V4 at a lower price. There is only two more available for purchase and they are supposed to ship early March. This is a new web store run by a guy out in California that has been running group buys.

    IPV4 - Silver [Pioneer4you] - Smog Distribution

    I guess I shouldn't of slept last night, as missed out on this, but thank you anyway, still in 2 minds if want to do a pre-order, the price is good and sure it will raise once it actually is released, but not sure I want to put my money into something I might not see for 2 months, and then be getting the very 1st ones off the line, so could have defects, but all mods can have that so that is a gamble I am willing to take.

    $30.55 $35.36 - DNA 40 40W Box Mod Chip with Temperature Control - Cigabuy


    Unless your in a hurry to get into TP, you may want to wait and see what people have to say about these chips. There was a lot of problems with the Evolv DNA 40 chip when they first hit the market, it took them some time to get the bugs worked out and a lot of people had to send back chips for replacements. Evolv now has a large screen version to choose from, I got in on the second group buy a couple weeks ago. I got the large screen, it was $44 and change for just the chip, I didn't buy a charger. From the sounds of it, mikepetro will probably do another run on these once this co-op is done.

    Also and FYI for those of you who are now or will be getting into TP, I read a couple days ago on the rayon thread there is tempered Ni200 now available. HolmanGT posted the link, I got some 28 & 32 coming Nickel ni200 DNA40 Wire Better get an order in ASAP if you want some, no one knows of another source for this tempered wire. It's much stiffer then the regular annealed nickle wire out there, they say the soft annealed wire is very hard to wick, it's so soft the wire bends out of shape just from pulling a wick through the coil (and not just with rayon). Holman also said they will be adding 29 & 30 ga tempered soon.

    As far as juice goes, tried a lot of ITC juice, the prices are good, but don't think the juice is anything special, I really like the Heavens Bounty, and others are just ok, Heavens Bounty is the only flavor I have repeatedly ordered from ITC.

    I was huge into Nicotockets Creme Brulee for a long time, went through 1000 mils of it over 6 months, but it is another one of Nicotickets juices that really needs a long steep, personally I always let it have a 4-6 weeks steep, and then was really good, I just got burnt out on it in the end.

    Been recently trying goodlife vapor and so far been pretty impressed with them, ordered 4 juices from them so far, and only not liked one of them, which is rare for me.

    DIYing didn't work out for me, just to much time and hassle, and never made anything special to make it worth while, tried copying other people;s recipes and also tried my own, and nothing was worth it to me.

    Yeah, my expectations for a $7 mod aren't particularly high.

    Nice kill on the Hobo. Just keep on eye on the center post insulator. I fried the insulator in my FC Hobo with a quickness (not the SXK version I have now).

    I will add that the dude who runs those buys on reddit (SmogLA) is a stand up guy. I've participated in a couple of his buys with great results.

    If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing, they also have a "Hanna Modz DNA 40 clone" w/TC, presumably using the same chip/board. Says this is made by Usee, which means nothingnto me but prolly does to you in the know.

    Would that be ITC Vapes by any chance? If yes I already beat you to it :laugh: I have doing a review for High End vs Budget juice, and ITC is one of my budget vendors.

    Any ideas when this review will be done? Need to get some new juices and a review like this sounds awesome :D

    I don't think anything about the chip for sale on Cigabuy because I have no idea where its from .. as far as the Kangxin Flask there is some learning curve there, but the user feedback on it so far is mostly positive. It seems that after 2 or more hours without use the Kangxin Flask will ask you "new or same atty", which the authentic only does when you change the atomizer. But the clone has already been verified as legit Temp protection, so unless someone gets one with a factory defect, its been good.

    I am annoyed as hail that the batteries that I ordered from IMRbatteries.com three days ago are still not tracking :mad: I ordered these for the new Flask, and I am ...... that they sent me a tracking# for a package that didn't really ship yet. So ......! I will never order from them again :glare:
