Spydro I too rotate many flavors thru the day... I have tried very hard to bring it down to three but my taste buds get bored fast..so I stick to five....it sounds excessive but if I chose to vape over smoking a cig I think all is good!
I don't think 5 is excessive :) .....I actually have about 9 or 10 flavors loaded up all the time....okay I know, that might be really considered excessive :facepalm: but I just can't vape solely one or two flavors, as like you said, taste buds get bored. ;)

After having found the liquid that triggers by taste buds in a unique way, I stuck with it totally. Maybe this habit comes form the time I was smoking. Maybe it is generation habit - as a teenager I played my favourite records again and again. When I was running out of my brand's cigarettes, I didn't accept anything else. I've walked miles in many cases for this very reason. I loved my DRUM rolling tobacco cigarettes for so many years, I still have 2-3 packs in the fridge, just to look at them.

I always advise new vapers to find a juice they really love it, if they really want to get rid of the smoking and to buy it only from trusted sellers, because what matters most is the quality of the liquid we put into our lungs.

So true perseas, when I first started vaping, I vaped one single menthol flavor for the first 9 months. Don't think I could have stopped smoking if it wasn't for that one flavor. After 4+ years of vaping now, it is nice for me to be able to enjoy some different flavors.....and yes, very important to trust who you buy from! :)

My gear is all set right now at least until the release of the Piccolo and I'm a little hesitant on that since my Herons get far more use than my Spheroids these days (although sticking a v3 switch on the microstick may revive that). :)

I'm really not very active to begin with but since I'm set for gear I have been dabbling with DIY with mixed results and that has been the majority of my vape budget these days!

I agree on the DIY mixed results business... I always seem to over flavor the stuff which basically makes it unvapable... and cutting it doesn't really seem to help? Perhaps the oversaturated flavor leeching from the plastic bottles? who knows? But it is rather discouraging... I DO need to get back to it as I have a ton of flavors that I've not even tried yet...

Add to that the Monkey Poo juice that I just got and there ya go... that Monkey Poo is really sumpin thou... If you like NET'S... Monkey's got it going on!!!

It's true...I've seen her set up:laugh: I like a variety of flavors throughout the day as well. I've been vaping long enough now it's really more about the flavor than the nic hit. That's a nice place to be...

It's funny, it seems like our vaping habits mimic our smoking habits. It must be something deep rooted in our psychology that has to do with decision making.

I always had different cigarettes, and I like trying many different types. When I lived in Greece (Nea Peramos & Athens) and whenever I visit I trade between Holborn & Prince red. When I lived in China and whenever I visit Asia for work I pick up a pack of Mild Sevens Sky Blue (or Seven Stars if I'm in Japan). In the US I would switch between Camel Wides, Marlboro Red, Marlboro Lights, and American Spirit blacks. Now that I vape I have 60+ flavors and I change my rotation every day. It's not just me wanting to spend all the money I make on juice I'll only take 2-3 drops of, I think it's the trying and playing around with different flavors and combos I really like.

There was some discussion on vape bags a few months ago – a bag of supplies that you take with you in order to rebuild gear or address issues when away from home. That discussion inspired me to put together a vape bag of my own. I created a list of stuff and slowly accumulated it and added new items as I found a need. Here is my current vape bag:

16E0E013-04A7-4C93-AB28-41E7AA822C94_zps5lukjaqg.jpg


I got the case from The Container Store a while ago – it’s called the GRID-IT by Cocoon (Cocoon - Grid-It). It’s basically a board with elastic bands that can be used to hold objects in place. It goes into soft bag with a handle that I keep in my backpack.

Here’s a list of items that I currently keep in it:

Mini screwdriver set
Micro scissors
Nail clipper
Cotton yarn (wick)
Spare coils
Drill bits
Ceramic tweezers
Volt/Ohm meter
Flat head screwdriver bit
Rubber band
Syringe and blunt needles
Spare Kayfun quartz tube
Toothbrush
Sunshine cloth

Any time that I feel like I’m missing a tool or something I’ll just add it to my list and then add it to my bag.

Thanks for the inspiration y'all!

That's excessive. But I have between 7-10 loaded at any time. So I'm excessive as well. And to keep boredom even further in check, I rarely vape the flavors that travel for work at home and vice versa.

So after being so profoundly scolded and in the GP Spirit I ask my family this -

My first attempt at using KGD is upon me, 80 sheets arrived in the mail today.

My Spheroid and My Heron are both clean and await wicking. I know I can find the answers elsewhere but I will put it here first. Your suggestions as to proper KGD wicking on these devices would be appreciated. Even if you point me to another location!

Just keeping the conversation going!

Vape On My Friends!

All you really need to do is cut the KDG along the grain and just enough for a little resistance through the coil and through the cotton topper on the Heron.

YANKEE!!! Yes, that is excessive.

I can't even keep up with 3 flavors if I end up with 4 my mind goes crazy.:homy: But i do only have 2 main ADV.
See, Part of my problem is this... If I have the device sitting empty, then I'm likely going to go and find a juice to use in it. I do have one Heron sitting empty on reserve. Lately I've been glad I had a couple empty setups as degree schedule has been crazy.

My TiX the one device I will stop dead in my tracks to clean up immediately if needed. I guess it is the Gump in me.

What up Yank!?! ;)

Hello buddy! How are you?

I wish that I had five juices that I liked. I’m currently only vaping two liquids that I enjoy: GVC and Five Pawn’s Gambit. I have about 100+ other liquids that fall along the “I don’t like” to “I hate” spectrum. I used to like some of them but I can no longer stand them (I don’t know why that happens to me). I did get four sample bottles from ITCVapes today, but I’m going to let them steep a while. It would be really great if I found one that I could enjoy and put into rotation.

I didn't care for the four sample bottles that I ordered from Ahlusion. Nothing was wrong with them, just not to my finicky liking.

I smoked Marlboro Red for 42 years. Now.... I vape: 1 mod, 1 atty, and 1 juice. :)

I didn't like any of my ITC order at first, but the Heaven's Bounty really benefited from a 2-week aging. I'm not sure how to describe it. I get cream with a hint of coconut and spices, but I can't make them out. It's quite good, though! I've got ~220 mL if you'd like a sample ;)
