LOl I remember, you got yours the same week as mine, didnt you? I like to relax and sit back at ecf, it makes my short term memory temporarily faulty sometimes... i seem to remember peoples flavor profiles more than their device profiles for some reason. I love the kraken, its full of bug juice from ITC right now:) The air flow is fully adjustable, you can close off a hole for single coil use(the way I prefer to vape), and it is a cool design, the kraken/cthulu/octopus creature is pretty wicked lookin, and it tastes great!

Yes, I think we ordered about the same time. I may come back to the kraken one of these days. Pretty soon, I'm going to have to set aside a whole evening to rebuilding every week just to keep up.

I watch a ton of TV and breaking bad was awesome! Dexter, californication, sons of anarchy, game of thrones, true detective are all excellent series as well.

I just finished Hannibal. Being a super fan of the movies I was skeptical and thought they'd just ruin a good story, but it was surprisingly great. I'll finish season one of The Following tonight...it's been very good to.

Californication is like watching a train wreck...you just can't look away. All the shenanigans are hilarious imho...like a nsfw seinfeld lol. Hank Moody gets in so much trouble every season it's really hard to describe. But an excellent show.

If anyone needs more tv reviews let me know lol

Love Dexter and Game of Thrones. Ive read all of the books to Game of Thrones and the series had stayed right with it just leaving out many of the details that make books great. I love to curl up in bed with a great book and a great vape. I can kill an evening very easy.

i stream, that aint obscure at all compared to some things you find, lol. Its cinemax I think, one of the premiums. I dunno, because at my house internet = every channel on demand. I dont pay any subscriptions except the netflix I split w someone else, lol. Tvmuse.eu, movie4k.to, 1channel.ch, iwannawatch.net. Payin for cable anymore makes no sense

are those on the right nemesis? I think those look so cool, i saw a clone that looked the same and was cheaper so maybe i'll get one...and a kayfun clone. So what is the real difference between clones and non-clones anyway? I understand that clones are just imitations of the original but is the quality the same? Are clones all made in china?
I have two Nemesis clones, both purchased from SlowTech. They have several clones of Nemesis just on that site alone. Of the two, I definitely prefer one over the other and it's actually the cheaper of the two I have. The more expensive version either didn't come with (thinking it's this one) or I lost the pin that's inside the fire button immediately because it's not there. The pin in the second one I purchased is either fused/welded into the switch or very hard to remove because it won't budge. (I tried to take the switch apart to upgrade it with magnets)
Anyway, I like it. As far as clones compared to the real thing... I would say the difference is the quality. The more expensive versions are going to be threaded better/smoother, the etchings will be better and the components may be better. I know with my clones the threading isn't the greatest and the switch in both aren't smooth at all. Rather crunchy (wobbly) and inconsistent. (sometimes won't fire when I press down, I have to fiddle with it) Also, the voltage drop is a factor but I can't attest to my devices as I have no way to test that on them.

It was a fast tech clone, 12 or $14, but I had to debur all the holes on the underside of the deck, and it was coated in oil. Plus I had to wait 6 weeks because it was on backorder. By the time I got that order, I was on to bottom fed,lol
I still have my tobeco kraken clone sitting here and I haven't even used it, lol.

I wouldnt dry burn anything premade bro, it shortens the life of the kanthal. The vmod chick that posted that method of cleaning was uber crafty, and she cleaned her hybrid atties this way once a month and made them last like a year!
She cleaned them what way? Just in vodka? No dry burning?

Soaked in a bowl 24 hrs, dried on top of a towel 24 more. That simple. I imagine the higher the proof the better... Maybe a pint of everclear would work twice as good or twice as fast, its 95% alcohol, most vodka is 40%! Just use drinking alcohol, not rubbing. You dont wanna go blind, lol

This is actually very good-of several Lavenders I tried this was my favorite. Lavender isn't an ADV but this one has a light lavender with a creamy almost vanilla taste to it.
My ADV is a Lavender... I'm still digging the AIV Call me Vanilla/Lavender Ever after mixture. I occasionally vape other flavors but always come back to it. My AIV shipped yesterday so hopefully I'll have more to rotate. My 15 ft falls will be a couple weeks before it's vapable.

When I change flavors in my Mini ProTank 3, so far I've just taken it apart and ran everything under hot water. (including the coil head) When I put the new liquid in, it takes a couple puffs to get the water out but after that it's fine. Once I get my new heads, I'll probably just rebuild them when running it under water no longer works. But since ATM I only have the head that's in it, I don't want to risk rebuilding the only one I have that is working perfectly fine.
I also agree about the cooler part. I like cooler vapes myself. When I ordered my heads, I opted for the 2 ohm instead of the 1.5 one I have.
Interesting, I thought you were supposed to make sure they were dry before you use after rinsing out? Or maybe that was only if you were going to dry burn after? With the single coils, I would snap the post off, take extra flavor wicks out, rinse everything out, let sit and dry overnight, dry burn next day , reload. Would always have a rotation of 4-5 coils so I had ones to vape with while others were drying, etc.

I dont think a single machine shop in all of China could turn a decent set of threads, lmao. YOU HEAR ME CHINA? Your manufacturing racks discprine! Change your toors inserts more often!

If I could resist the ahlusions and TPR sales(2 of my current top 5 favorites), you can be strong too :)

I didn't resist them lol. I got rid of a bunch of stuff I don't vape or like. I am not going to force myself to vape stuff I don't like anymore its stupid. Life is too short and this is my only real frivolity. So now my boxes look too empty. I am trying hard to wait though. I just have too many upcoming expenses and now another child to help care for. Once I get all the stuff I have coming I will relax some but right now I am stressing. Wish it would all hurry up. All of the ones I ordered are en route but nothing yet on my trades. Those are the ones I need the most because the should be ready to go when they get here. Patience is a virtue just not really one of mine lol
