Well t his is good news for me, for when it arrives :) I'm just soo bored, I can't seem to find anything that WOWS me. Will it forever be a chase?!:confused:

Darlin', go and find a vendor who sells Papi Churro by Jetfuel. Trust me, you'll be WOWED. It's the greatest juice ever produced. And you'll never go the "steeping" route again. :)

Seems this is the point you miss each time you post.

May be true, but at least I post it. I'm entitled to my opinion just as everyone else is. As long as it is reasonably respectful and courteous, I have no qualms providing a disclaimer from my often times 'unpopular' comments. Must be 'cause I'm a Cali guy. The industry is very different here.

But. but. but. I don't know how to rebuild. Wahhhh :(

:lol: It's very easy, and cheap. I'd love to help you but. but. but. this is cyberland and unfortunately we all (well, maybe not all) pretty much have to learn by trial and error on our own. Watch riptripper coil threads on youtube. You can get an IGO-L for like $10, a 100ft roll of 28guage kanthal for $8 shipped and a big bag of organic cotton balls for $5. That's enough material to last you a year for $25 and ohhhhh life is good. Good life! :)

I feel like you just spoke to me in a different language...

But seriously I am not handsy at all, I suck :( Maybe one day when I grow a pair of kahunas...until then it's cheap bridgeless atomizers which I burn up and throw out :) LOL

I agree, the Igo - L is a great beginner Rba. The Igo-w is good too with more room to work and option for dual wick if you want to advance.
I will add that I recommend starting with some 32 gauge wire and silica for wick. Your probably not going to start out micro coiling on your first go.

That you are! It's just that when you label yourself "an elitist" in the same sentence, well, you know. Maybe you don't.

I don't care for MBV but i'm not going to email them and tell them i think their product is inferior, because it's probably NOT. It's just not for me. You follow?

This is true! Except the silica part. Cotton for the win! I started out with 32 gauge and an IGO-L. On to the Patriot and 28 gauge.

Oh, I also much prefer cotton over silica. It's just how do you use cotton without a micro coil? I just find, teaching beginners coiling to fold a piece of silica, 4-5 wraps of 32ga. and install a great starting point.

And to stay true to the topic, should have some High Five and tahitian pearl in the mail tomorrow. From descriptions, both should be right up my alley.

I've tried SO many of GLV's juices...not any new one's yet though. It's funny how our opinions are so different sometimes. I think they make really great juice but I'm not a fan of melon boba at all. Which HELLO? I should've known I hate melon!
I like the flavor of watermelon but I don't even eat watermelon all that much so IDK what I was thinking.
OurYchai and El Kamino are 2 I just can't get around either, Oh well taste buds are taste buds....can't wait to place an order though. Learned my lesson and tried a couple new vendors and was horribly let down -- back to my tried n true it is!

No, its because you come into a vendor discussion thread, trash said vendor, give your disclaimer with plenty of smug added on, recommend a juice no one has heard of from a different vendor as the best on the planet, while stating your opinions as rock solid facts. So yeah, maybe because you're a "cali guy", except relying on your typical nuance and subtlety to make a point in a text discussion :p

I use cotton in my pre-made evod coils all the time. Just carefully slide out the used silica, do a couple of short burst dry burns so as to not burn the rubber insulator, and the slide in some fresh cotton. Use blunt 20gauge needle to build coil for evod, or drill bit/small screwdriver for RDA and just slide the cotton thru. I see your point though as far as making it easier for those just starting out.

Let me know how the tahitian pearl is. It will probably make my next sample pack along with Keys, YoPlay and Zenberry.

Yeah, i had high hopes for Melon Boba but they were soon dashed. About the only melon flavor i have found that i liked is Nice Melons from Fuzion. I am curious what El Kamino tastes like to you. I love it. I can say that i wasn't too sure about both EK and Deadly Sin when i first tried them, but when i went back to them like a week later it was a different story. I don't think it was a "steep" thing as much as it was my taste buds becoming adjusted to them. Often if you give something a second or third chance the results are different.

Ahhhh - ha! Got ya. Hadn't thought of evod and Protank heads, good point.
I will let you know on the tahitian pearl. I love pineapple so hope it is good. I eyed the yoplay too, so I would like to hear on that.

Do you think there is any pear in the pearl? Love me some pears!

My mistake.... Pear is the primary flavor. Don't know where I got pineapple.
Oh well, I like pear too. Does goodlife have a pineapple juice? If not, they should!

I'm so in the minority not liking El K. its all cigar to me -- but I've said before I've never actually smoked a cigar just smelled one. I've had El K for awhile now maybe 4-5 months so it's definitely "developed" it's just so strong of a flavor but I don't get anything out of it but a cigar flavor. But that's me.

I'm about to place an order today -- goin for 2 sample packs and want to try new flavors, the only one I'm going to reorder is Deadly Sin only because it wasn't in my last order and I kinda miss it.
So far I'm thinkin:

925 (maybe)
Butterscotch Yo
Kustard (maybe)
Lucky 7 or Nana's Nuts
Orange Blossom (I liked Freak Show but I think I may like this one better)
Plain Jane (maybe)
The Keys
White Zenberry

Well that's 8 so I guess the decision is really do I go with Plain Jane or Kustard or both? Or Nana's Nuts or Lucky 7's? I know the banana in them is very different....

I'm sick to death of candy vapes...I have a coffee vape coming as well as a strawberry so I'm not sure if I should not get the 925 and just go with something else? Oh decisions decisions. I haven't tried any of these so anyone that has input would be great!
