Makes perfect sense. That's the biggest reason I haven't ordered juices online. I recently got laid off, so we don't have a lot of money to play around with. I like going to a shop and being able to sample before I buy.

Most assuredly. For a given coil resistance, a certain wattage will create a certain temperature, although in a non-TC mod, that varies slightly with voltage pulses, etc. But, as you and a few others implied, most people have different hardware they are using. Even if (HUGE IF) everyone were to use the same tank, many would use different coils. I have 2.5, 1.8, 1.5 and 0.5 that all fit in the same tank. Each will produce different temperatures and, therefore, different tastes for any given juice. And, as someone else suggested, Capella's strawberry flavor is different than The Flavor Apprentice, etc., so depending on who the juice maker gets his flavors from, the same wattage in the same tank with the same coil can produce different flavors. But, as a hasty generalization, it is still fair to say "this one is good at low watts (low temp) and not at high watts" without being overly specific. There must be a thousand flavors out there from several hundred vendors and I'd like to taste them all, but I would be a lot more comfortable if I had even an inkling that this would taste good in my preferred vaping range. Did that make sense, or am I blathering?

I hear ya there! I am not "laid off," but I am very low on funds because I have been disabled for 16 years (we live on my social security). The nearest B&M vape shop is over 100 miles from our little hobby farm, so when we have a couple extra bucks, "online" is about our only choice. Maybe that is why I ask for such clarity from online vendors. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for vaping and what it has done for me (able to quit a 50-years stinkie habit), but sometimes I can't help but feel like trying to figure it all out is like beating your head against a wall. With cigarettes, all you had to do was light up and suck. You did not have to worry about a hundred mods choices, a thousand tank choices, dozens of coils per tank, thousands of juice flavors... just a .... and a match. But I won't go back to that, so I'm gonna keep pounding my head on the wall until I get it all figured out.

Sometimes I wish I hadn't gotten into the hobby side of it. When I first started over a year ago, my CF-VV batteries and Nautilus Mini tanks were fine for me. This time, when I started back, all the bigger mods were as cheap as the small pen mods back then, so that's what I went with...

Hello everyone. Not a good day today. Not sure if I got food poisoning or a stomach bug. Made it in to work because I can't take any more time off until I build my paid time up. Ugh it is going to be a long day. I'm thinking lunch break will be more like nap time.

I used to taste juice at local B&Ms, make a list of what I liked and then buy it on-line for way cheaper. :D
Sometimes I would throw them a bone by buying something small. ;)

@DaleH1985 - Sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully it passes quickly! Meanwhile, hang in there!

I used to buy my stuff at a B&M. Then I found a better shop, not a chain store. Much better service. I buy the juice he mixes. He gives me wire whenever I need it. Sometimes even some TC coils from kits people bought but didn't want the coils.

Good morning, everyone.

Hello everyone. Not a good day today. Not sure if I got food poisoning or a stomach bug. Made it in to work because I can't take any more time off until I build my paid time up. Ugh it is going to be a long day. I'm thinking lunch break will be more like nap time.
I hope you feel better soon, Dale.
