Long post to many comments on the other forum was lost when I tried to post it (because the thread was closed while I was typing it)...
See you all on Part 3.
Sorry my friend, I didn't notice that you were there
Try it and if you still can't close it flush, then trim a coil from the spare silver plated GPin's spring and it will be fine.
Blantons is great stuff. If you like it you can collect the 8 versions of the topper that show the horse in different positions. Each of them having a letter under the rear legs so that the complete set spells Blantons. Then there is also Woodford Reserve, Bulleit and Basil Hayden. Not necessarily in that order. Remember, Bourbon is the only official drink of the United States. Declared by the Legislature.
I see your 350's and 650's are IMR's. Is the 18350 an AW IMR? And, all sections fit together with no gap without the atomizer? If so, it has to be the atomizer.
Does the 510 pin protrude more than 1mm out of the end of the 510 male connection on the atomizer?
Last question, do you have the same issue with other atomizers, same 350 battery set up?

You have to try some of out local made, Bowman's. It's pretty good... And it's made right down the street from my place. Located conveniently next to the Blue Grey Brewery.
. Support your locals!
Good morning all!
After using up the sample of GVC I got from JP, I have an observation that I'd like your opinion on.
After 3 tank fills of GVC in the Spheroid, it was a big cleaning job. My wick and fluff were practically black, with a dark brown sticky residue from the juice everywhere inside the tank and base. Sticky enough to not come off at all with a hot water rinse, I had to tear the whole thing down and scrub vigorously with soap, water, and toothbrush. The coil was pretty gunked up also.
After a full cleaning, and a new coil, new fluff, and new wick, I've now gone through 3 tanks of my previous custard (CLS from Nicoticket), and my wick and fluff are as clean as when I put them in, with no gunk or sticky residue anywhere.
Is this common for GVC? Coils in both cases were running at 0.9Ω, which is a bit lower than Grant recommends, but certainly not what I would consider low enough to burn the juice, and I got no burnt taste whatsoever. The taste in fact was outstanding. I've just never used a juice that made that big of a mess.
I was just wondering if this is normal for GVC, or if it is really that sensitive to heat.
Once I get some more, I'll try running it around 1.5Ω - 1.8Ω and see if that makes a difference, but boy what a job it was to clean that up.

GVC has caramelized my coils in the past. All without changing the flavor. And when the flavor starts to shift, it's wick changing time. I use it in my SnP with a Sophia. (Also have tried in the Heron)
The Sophia cup and tubes need some qtip/rub down treatment. But I certainly don't need heavy scrubbing to it. Perhaps it's because I run 1.2 on it but I haven't had to bust out soapy water out of necessity

Nope tomorrow it will be starting 1 am pdt which means I gotta stay up til 1 in morning so I can snag some and then be at work 6 am how fun is that gonna be hahahaha
Yep, I will be setting my alarm for 3:50am as I am on the East Coast.....very excited to go to work sleep-deprived tomorrow as it will totally be worth it!!
Todai, I noticed that GVC does that to my coil as well....sort of like Boba's Bounty which also caramelizes for me a lot of times.....It doesn't really affect anything as far as I can tell.....Just need to do a bit of extra cleaning. When I was sub-ohming GVC (before I came to my senses and realized that I was killing the flavor!!
) it also caramelized, so I don't think it's resistance-dependent....I am now running my last bit of GVC at 1.2 Ohms, and it still caramelizes around the coil area......As long as the flavor is still spot on then I think you should be OK....

It is pretty good actually! Lol, I was sitting there last night looking at the topper and noticed the little N. Wondered what that was for.
Has anyone used the cellucotton as the "Fluff" or replaced the silica with it in a Spheroid? Would it work? Hmmm.

Cotton is an absorbent material. When you place it side by side with fluff, I believe you'll see that it likely won't "release" juice to the wick. The fluff density is perfect for the medium. I've tried aqua filters and that's the best substitute, but nothing beats the fluff. It doesn't come close.
My opinion.
My opinion.
Hopefully there will be some GVC left at 530am my time (Central). That's when I get to work. If not, I guess I'll have to order something else :\

Have you tried the Cellucotton? Technically Rayon? I agree with you on the cotton... it holds, almost as much as it gives up. As a wick; IMHO the cellucotton wins over cotton... less cottony flavor (even after boiling the organic cotton in distilled water) imparting little flavor of its own and wicks visibly quicker...
I'm looking at their site now and it looks really interesting. Thanks for the tip! Actually think I'm going to talk the wife into going on a tour there and checking it out.You have to try some of out local made, Bowman's. It's pretty good...
