I am really digging Altcigs-new fav (not in the way AHL is a fav) bu a random fav

I saw the sale at Elevated it was one of the only ones that I was like well, maybe. I did pickup some Ahlusion though but I think all but 1 where reorders. I wanted to check out one cant remember now but I believe it ends at midnight and I need some time to look around.
its too late to get too many opinions but has anybody tried anything that I may have not heard of that knocked your socks of recently?....anybody? lol

I have a trade I thought was mostly set haven't heard from the person but they also haven't been on so Im not being ignored. I had someone else ask for one of the flavors they want so now Im trying to figure out what to do. I also was looking at my drawers and was about to put a bunch more stuff on the trade list but decided not to do it while I have the vape blahs. Gotta come up with a word for it like I did my vspot, I think everyone knew exactly what I meant with that. You know when you sit down with a vape and its so good that for a minute everything is right in the world and/ or you close your eyes and just enjoy....yep its hittin the vspot

Some guy at a vape shop drilled my lid to my IGOw to bog. I put a cut piece of duct tape over 90% of the hole. I hear you can use JB weld but I need one of those vape fairies (assistants) that would fix it for me. That would be the same vape fairy that came every night and built me a few coils. I am getting better at it and have mastered the micro now. Never did like using my torch but I just hold it over a candle with a pair of really long tweezers

What do you use the torch for? did you ever get the pt heads done? Did you like that juice? Wasn't for me.

Ive always preferred cooler vapes, I use a super long drip tip, hated the vape on a genny etc. What changed for you. Idk what the deal is with the REO, idk if its a learning curve on the mech aspect or what. I really think that's what it is I need to find like a fruity sweet spot and a Tobacco sweet spot, Im just recently getting into the really creamier stuff so I don't even know my regulated sweet spot so no idea for the mech. I keep saying I am going to just get a regular mech and another dripper that that may help me. I don't want to not enjoy my juices all summer even on a REO, yes I bought it for convenience its A number 1 purpose is for outdoor activites etc with the kids this summer because its convenient and tough, if anything happens to it internally all the parts are very easily and cheaply replaced. Fore example today my last bit of Angel Sauce is what I took to graduation (it was outside so we vaped cops didn't say anything so I guess it was ok?) and it tasted like just warm fruit. I typically run my coils at around 1.8 ohms and fruits about 7.5-8w and tobaccos etc at 9w so when I looked at the charts it looked like using the same coil I usually do would put me in that ball part. I guess its gonna be more exacting that I expected. I also tried micro coil on it, ive never had much success with micro coils in general but since this thing is so tiny I guess I thought it had to be a micro, finally gave up and just did the exact coil I do everyday......fruits really never come off right in it and tobaccos usually do kinda. I know it sounds crazy but the fact that this atty is so small have something to do with it or that I have a bigger airhole drilled into my others. I like an airier draw but its drawing fine and I don't want to make a mistake and have to replace my rm@ it its expensive!

I hope you find that sweet spot. i've been vaping at 1.2-1.3 and i think my fruits tastes really good. can't say anything about tobaccos, they aren't my thing

I'm using a piece of the "condom" that comes on the end of a carto but it still doesn't vape the same as my other REO. I will end up either getting rid of it or replacing it. Not sure which yet.

I know you asked chanel, but the torch can be used in two ways that I have seen/done so far.

1.) pre heat kanthal and let cool, then wrap your coil (preheating makes the wire easier to work with)

And/or

2.) once coil is made, heat to glowing and then use tweezers to squish the coil together

I don't think it tastes like Juicy Fruit because...I don't like Juicy Fruit but I did like Lychee Pear. Lychee is really great in a vape and pear is a tough flavor to nail. It's funny. I hated all the FSV that I bought but I liked the two you sent me a lot.

Well I did leave the cap off mine. I forget whether you did or not? If not, definitely do it. The Lavender is a 50/50 and the Lychee Pear is 100% VG, which is strange because I believe it's the first and only 100% vg I like. (one of the ones you sent may be and I did like it too)

BTW -- for those that don't know. I'm fine with people that want to be gay. I'm not against it. So if that's clear I will post the words meaning:
Gaystapo = Those that fly off in a rage at someone or some written piece that deals with the marriage issue. These people are for the most part straight and only do that to draw attention to themselves. hehe :)
I was hoping so. I don't tolerate intolerance well. I don't understand why people care so much about who people who aren't with them are sleeping with or attracted to. Makes me wonder why they are so defensive.

Yes. I was talking about the bamboo (and hemp) wick. I am fond of the Bamboo myself but I still like the ReadyWick in certain situations.

Is the hemp wick good? Back when I worked in textiles (denim manufacturing), hemp filling that was imported was used in making high cost denims.

For those who wants to know, the filling in denim is the part that's seen when they're cut off into shorts (the stings). This is what holds the material together.

Hey there pretty girl! Do you like the Reo? As you know, I'm not a Provari elitist. I bought one and then found out that they have this snooty rep. I'm glad you're doing well. :D

People with other devices are just as snooty and particular. LoL. Comes with the "branded" territory. that being said, I love my Taifun clone so far.

But seriously. I really don't wanna go. LOL. But I also hate to be a flake...it's going to be IN-SANE down there. Chesapeake Bay Bridge was backed up for hours last night with everyone heading in from the western shore.



AWWW staaaahhhppp it :wub: I just figure my prince charming is waiting for me in the south. The dating pool where I live is very, very, limited. It's an area where everyone knows everyone's business. All the goods ones I've met so far are married. What lucky ladies that have them! Plus, I have no real desire to get married..yet.
Southern boys are some of the best... And they seem to be more likely to be old-fashioned, which I am for the most part. My grandma was married and divorced twice before she found her southern sweetheart... and he is a sweetheart. He's one of the best men I know.

Is that the first 3 months? lol because I think everyone goes a little crazy then. Otherwise I think we all go a little nuts when we can afford to. I have had a pretty strict vape budget for awhile now due to cutbacks at work. No more $100 orders that's for sure. The money I got cut took away every bit of extra money I had so now (unless I have extra for whatever reason) Im only allowed to spend what I did smoking and I try to spend less and lately have been. I also try to catch the sales and pick up juice when its around 50c per ml and under for the premium ones I buy. Unfortunately there are a few I love that don't really do sales Nicoticket and Alice in Vapeland come to mind. I never ordered from NT until a couple weeks ago because I kept waiting for a sale lol

Yes, my 1st 3 months. :blush:
And yes, a monthly budget IS in order! I figure no more than $60.
That said, I did good this month. :D

Ok so had a really good day with the fam etc. I am really vape unhappy. I have had a day of this here and there but this is the first time it's lasted longer than that. Most of the time there is something new I'm interested in and buy that during the blahs but so far there hasn't been much I wanted to try from the sales and clearly I'm not happy with what I have either it seems. Idk I guess just wondering if anyone ever has this problem? Does it go away on it's own? I have to take a nap....back to work tonight, looking forward to catching up on the thread, reading any answers or advice you guys have, and looking through the deals and steals again. I've had very little time to do much else.
Uggggghh it's so bad I can't even decide what juices to take to work, also noticing some of my juices taste different in the REO, jury still out on the reason. Talk to whoever so up later tonight! HELP!
Yes... Was there for a while and nothing really made it go away besides changing devices. (cartos, drippers, etc) I'm finding that each juice I have shines in one thing compared to another. Very annoying because it's a lot of trial and error til you figure it out... and I also have a good number of juices now. Never thought I'd have so many store bought ones... and I have DIY flavoring coming thanks to a wolf.

Alas -- I can no longer partake. Been that way for 20 years. ;)
I used to like it but ever since my run-in with panic attacks, I can no longer enjoy it. It just makes me really sleepy anyway... And it hurts my chest. I seriously have no idea how I was able to smoke cigs. Just being around it (parents smoke) irks me, gives me a headache and depending on how long I'm around it, hurts my lungs.

Torch-Micro coils
Ptheads-only did one and that was the one we talked about and have not used it
Juice-glad you sent me the sample. It is alright but def not something I will order. I have just gotten to where I order 2 30mls of the flavor of the week from TPr and I would have hated to be stuck with 60mls of this
