I am liking it thus far aside from a few little quirks I have with it. It definitely provides a much better vape compared to the 18350 mod. The sigelei Bagua 18350 was the first mech I mentioned I got. I just purchased it to test the waters and see if mech mods were something that was going to work for me.


So, the waters have been tested? and they are good? =)

Thank you for the reply. I have found that When it is first crafted that it is a bit bland and all I really taste is bread and cinnamon. Also. Its been awhile but when I vape on my SVD at different watts and volts the flavor profile shifts significantly on Cinnamon bun, as most other flavors do.

Try it again in two months and let me know if it is still to much cinnamon for you. Caribbean Jack might be a bit more to your liking. I hope we can find a flavor you would want to order again.

I loved the Caribbean Jack and Fuzzy Gnome.....both are excellent and I will order both soon. (when finances allow)
I just filled up a Protank2 with Caramel Candy, and it is excellent too.
I hesitated on the Caramel Candy due to trying Caramel flavors from other vendors and not being too fond of them, but yours is excellent. I will order the Caramel Candy also.

For those in California...Hope you all are well and safe. I seen on the news this morning that there was some flooding going on. Stay safe, Stay dry, and Vape on!

Flash flood warnings on my phone all day that day. sorry I wasn't around much during that stuff. About 3 miles form me people had to be rescued from their cars because they were roof deep and got swept away. Talk about real flash flood. I took a picture put it up on IG and it was 100 degrees and sunny. about 8 minutes later my parking lot was full of water. Rather than that, everything is fine.

Thanks for the wishes, Carolina. There are flash-flood warnings in the mountains and deserts.... I may not even see a drop of rain, but RML might see more. The warnings extend into Arizona and Nevada as well.

But why no concern over the 4.2 earthquake that struck at 4 am yesterday morning? Oh, that's right--because no one even woke up for it. :)

I was having a hard time getting to sleep. that little 4.2 rocked me gently to sleep. hahah.

:ohmy: I did not even see anything on the news about it. It is amazing how comfortable we become with things like that when they happen on a frequent basis. I don't think earthquakes would bother me all that much unless I was in a high-rise or something like that. Hurricanes, tornadoes, fire etc. are a completely different story though.

That's because it wasn't news. kidding. I am sure somewhere they did have something on it. You are right though, we barely notice that stuff much any more if we are in our cars or ground level.

The worst that can really happen is your roof falls in or a power line comes down. It is more like and adventure park ride living in California hahaha. And there is no steep climb before the drop to warn you it is coming. Just eatting dinner and then WHHAAAAMM eeeeeerrttthhhhhquuuuaaaaakkee. lol then it is all back to normal.

Typhoons are about the only things I have to deal with on a regular basis and I've kind of gotten used to them. Had a few earthquakes here and I don't care for those. Never seen a tornado but have been through areas to witness the after effects - no thanks. Have seen a few water spouts - one when we were out in a boat, thankfully we were moving away from it. Have been in some flooded areas - worst one was Nashville in 2010.

Ohh man, we have been discussing all these different natural disasters and we all forgot about water spouts. lol. funny you mentioned that. I just watched "Noah" Water everywhere in that movie.

What were you doing out on the water when a water spout decided to form? And where were you?

Typhoon - thanks but no thanks. I remember the Nashville flood; my cousin lost everything in it. Well I should say he lost all his materialistic items. Starting over with nothing was hard but he was grateful that he had his life so he never really complained.

Hopefully he had some type of insurance. You can always start over. Sometimes starting over can give you the option to build bigger and better than before. all in your perspective. Sounds like his is pretty good.

I was watching news about 5:30 this morning. Low and behold a commercial came on for the new Vuse Digital Vapor Cigarette. The "Vapor Cigarette" caught my attention and I grabbed the laptop and and looked it up on Google. Go figure it is manufactured by the big tobacco company. This might be old news that I just learned of and if so sorry for being behind the times.

I had not heard of it yet either. Looks like the clouds might be passing away if big tobacco can get this on board and pushed through the FDA. Better buy stock in whoever owns that patent and the company who took it off his hands.

I'd rather deal with the typhoons here than any of the other ones. Stuff here is built to withstand it - been through a few that had winds well over 100mph and some of the Super Phoons.
The Nashville flood was something I never want to see again. Went for a business trip, got in Sat evening when it started. Sun news was showing the stuff and that night the hotel was evacuated - was in the Gaylord.


Lucky you! reminds you how much your life actually means to you when you see so much devastation.

For my prize, I opted for another round of Caribbean Jack. But I also placed an order for more Fuzzy Gnome (vaped whole aero mega of that yesterday...) and decided to also try Apple Jacks and Blackberry. I still have a couple of other flavors (Love Spell, Skittles, and Caramel Butter Popcorn, I think) left to try from my first batch.

USPS says I should get my shipment today... ! :)


Fuzzy Gnome.. woot woot. lol. Wait till Caribbean Jack finally gets its reserve batch done. Sweetness.

Just got my package, Jolly Rancher.

Smells good, I'm going to let it steep. Thanks for the label fix too. :)

You speak, I listen. Hopefully that label fix will work out.

Jolly Rancher does need a little steeping. It is ok out of the gate but steeping is always the right thing with 99% of all E-Liquids made by all Vendors. Though when I pay 20 plus bucks for a 30 ml I do expect It to be ready to go right out of the box.

Right on Whodat! Glad to hear about the Caramel Candy. That will definitely put a smile on my brothers face. Caribbean Jack is mine and the wife's, Fuzzy Gnome is all me. What The Flip is all them.

We all have excpetionaly different pallets. When we head to the vape bar and sample flavors none of us really agree. Sean and i can vape 100 plus flavors and sometimes not agree on a single one. The wife sides with about 50% of what I like and about 50% what Sean likes. They both lean towards real sweet, fruity style of flavors. I am bigger on the slightly more complex stuff.

Also, I really try to not read what is in the mix anymore. I do my best to enjoy multi mixes as what they are intended. A new flavor that you normally wont find by itself. Like if 200 years ago someone said " I have created cake" if someone says cake? what is in it. Butter, flour, sugar, salt, eggs, milk. most people would say oh this doesn't taste like butter, or this doesn't taste like flour, eggs, i don't taste eggs. Exactly, it is cake. lol.

anyway that is how I like my vapes. does the final mix taste enjoyable to me. not, can I distinguish every single nuance of this mix and identify all the ole-resins or flavor molecules within it?

I am very curios as to how the Caribbean Jack private Reserve is going to turn out, since I do in fact have an expectation on it.

We were heading out on a fishing trip. Was about a half hour out of port when we spotted it maybe a couple miles off the stern. Was still close enough that we could see the spray it kicked up at the surface. Just glad that is was going in a different direction than we were. It was off the west coast of Okinawa about 6 or 7 years ago.

Liking it thus far. I think the huge benefit to using mech mods comes in regards to also using RBA's or even rebuilding your own coils for cleros. I keep my builds at .6ohms or higher, any lower than that and the vape is a little to warm for my liking. Last week I won a prize package from madvapes. It consisted of EHPro Cronus 26650, EHPro Big Buddha, 2 26650 batteries, 4 bay charger and 2 bottles of juice. I just got it today and man the 26650 mods are beasts. It fits nicely in the hand though. I am interested to see the battery life compared to the 18650 mods. I am quickly becoming a mech mod convert!

Hopefully he had some type of insurance. You can always start over. Sometimes starting over can give you the option to build bigger and better than before. all in your perspective. Sounds like his is pretty good.

RML

He did have insurance and while they did not pay out on everything he lost they did pay out on most of it. When he purchased a new house he actually downsized and was able to pay it off in full. He said it just made more sense to not have a house payment.

I had not heard of it yet either. Looks like the clouds might be passing away if big tobacco can get this on board and pushed through the FDA. Better buy stock in whoever owns that patent and the company who took it off his hands.

RJ Reynolds branched out and created RJ Reynolds Vapor Company. Then the put out the Vuse. It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out. I doubt if any current vapors will buy any of their products. However new vapors will be drawn to their products. They will look at it and see an established company that has been around forever and automatically trust that they will have good and safe products. That in itself is kind of hypocritical thinking IMHO. Considering the fact that there is nothing safe about analogs annd they promoted them and continue to promote them every day to the public as a whole.

And does anyone really trust them with the ingredients for their liquids? After the :censored: they pulled with cigarettes?

Yeah, I just got coupons in the mail today from them to get the Vuse and the refills free... not going to happen. I don't trust them and why would I want to vape a cig. flavor when I have a whole rainbow of flavors that are good, and I know what is in them! No cigalikes for me plus they want to ban all other types of vaping stuff besides their own.

I got a similar offer for Philip Morris's Mark Ten a couple of months ago. What a joke!

Not me..lol. As a matter of fact I don't see how anyone in their right mind would.

When I first started vaping I ordered sample after sample of tobacco flavors. I was in the mind set that the only way I would stay off of analogs is if I could find something that tasted very close to the analogs that I smoked. I smoked "Reds" and believe it or not I loved the taste of the tobacco :blink: After going through several samples of tobacco flavored juices, none of which I could vape longer than 10 minutes I was about done. Fortunately EC Blends had sent me a free sample of "Dragons Blood" with an order I had placed with them. I tried it as a last resort and loved it. It was my ADV for over a year!

At that point my eyes were opened to the wonderful world of all the different juice flavors. Like you said why would I want a single cig. flavor with vast amount of juice flavors available to us now.
