Alright everyone name three juices on your wishlist
mine are:
POET (still)-- Nonne De Limon
ALtcigs--Churro
Papi Churro-need a 3rd bottle
Well I'm trying to get a 30 ml stocked for each of my top 10 juices and I don't have one for the following:
Naked vanilla - virgin vapor
Numbers- seduce juice
Fifth Rank- five pawns

Only issue is seduce only ships plastic which I want to get out of and nothing else there I want to re-order except people's vape cosmonaut which I have a fair amount left. Probably hold off I guess on this one.

Got my Ahlusion feedback email today so perhaps I'll try a few more from them. Thinking cherry cola and one of the mimosas. Anyone try these? I'm hoping my Ahlusion experience gets better because I'm not getting a warm fuzzy yet. Perhaps once they get my feedback and modify juices for my setup and preferences. I'm giving it one more shot but I need them to wow me! I did order some weird stuff I wouldn't normally from them the first go around.

That fifth rank from Five Pawns was so good it immediately goes in my top 10 so I need a 30ml bottle, even if I can only vape it for 10 min before it gives me a headache, lol.

Too hot of a vape and not moist enough. I prefer something with a cooler temp and a stiffer draw. Most people that I see that like dripping like a warm/hot airy draw... which is not my thing. The flavor is never quite right with it either. Could be just me. Could be what I've been using. (cheap clone RBAs) I also can't use cotton... so that, to me, automatically makes dripping a PITA

My REO with the rm2 is nowhere near the airy draw I got from the RDA clone I bought. I wasn't a fan of that either, but love my REO. If you buy one and hate it you can very easily sell it for almost retail.

it's like a strawberry fruity maybe even a super faint lemonade like taste. it's pretty sweet. i remember liking it fresh, but it's a lot better steeped. it's hard to describe lol mine is like a bright deep yellow color now, it's probably like 6-8 months old.


i'm curious, why didn't you like dripping? i actually had never dripped and bought reos. to me it's more like having a tank and putting fresh juice on the wick every few hits. dripping without the mess per se. i never get dry hits, or flooding or weird burning up coils like i did with protanks.

Oh that sounds good. I love strawberry! Can't wait to try it now! But I'll let it steep for a few weeks. I usually do with all my AHL. I just find them much better that way!

I have one of the mimosas coming with my order that's being delivered this weekend. Can't remember which one right now. I'll give it a try when I get back home Sunday and let you know how it is.

my honey pearry is running on a like 2 month old beat up azz 1.5 coil. and it's sooooo gooooood lol. i'm scared to try my diy HP because i know it's not going to be as good LOL


i still can't figure out why my kerry's berries has a chocolate undertone.. /confused.

Yall have me gunshy about diy... All I hear is how easy it is to ruin it from every direction except the DIY NET people... They talk about makin their own net extractions and havin it come out great.... I keep meanin to get down to the highlands(it's like the greenwich village of louisville) so I can stop by a pipe shop and get an oz or two of some pipe tobacco by hearth and home that smells good, lol. i hear that brand is the easiest to get good net out of...

Lol. Regular briefs are so unattractive to me. I don't know why... just come off as old man-ish to me. Boxer/boxer briefs only!

I have felt weird "liking" all these underwear posts but may as well weigh in. I agree, those plain white briefs are the male equivalent of granny panties.

Fabulous! Love to hear. Although it'll probably need to steep for awhile right? Only one of four I got from them so far that I can say is pretty good and that's the w/a Sasparilla. Loved it first time I sampled it, second time it was just ok, we'll see how the next session goes. Others seem like they need to steep which I have to say annoys me. I like flavors I can vape out of the box. Great if they get even better but I've yet to have one that was meh FOOB and then turned great a month or two later so I'm skeptical.

Sounds like you just need to fiddle around w/ different resistance coils and different types of wire... Sounds like an igo-w-4 or equivalent w adjustable air flow might be helpful too... I know what you mean by draw bein too tight or too airy of a draw affecting flavor.. Try makin 4 coils outta 4 different gauges of wire, but all at the resistance you like in your prebuilts... That will show you what amount of coil surface area you want. More surface area of coil=more vapor/wetter quality. Less surface area=less vapor/dryer hit. So if you have all different gauges, and they are all say 1.5 ohms, and you use some 26, 28, 30, and 32 gauge kanthal, your liable to have one w 4 wraps, 1 with 5, one with 6, and one with 7 wraps(something like that). Just figure out which one feels the best and go w that wire gauge for your usual build. I like the flat .5x.1 kanthal for almost everything, but everyone is different. Monkey around w/ airholes on each different gauge coil too, that way you get the best variety of data.

Are you talking about in general or just from Ahlusion? I, personally, have found very few that I like FOOB. Most of mine take at least a week to develop. Alice in Vapeland takes 1-3 (the 3 is the tobacco, so I don't really hold it against it and it's my favorite one) The only one I like straight up is Honey Peary and only in certain devices. Tried putting it into my protank today and it disappeared. (flavor wise, not from vaping it. lol)

No doubt. Buy the zombie green grand and hate it, lol. I'll take it off your hands faster than you can say money order, lmao

The flat works out to have a bunch more surface area per inch than round of equal resistance per inch. So, if an inch of flat has 1 ohm of resistance, and an inch of round has 1 ohm also, the flat will have more surface area. If you think of resistance as temperature, then the flat wire should provide the most vapor per degree... Follow me so far? So I guess flat would probably be better to you since it could remain same temp you like, just make lots more vapor.
