Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! My 3 orders of juice all came at once this morning. A little overwhelming lol. My protank got here too..since I apparently ordered a lot of "tankbreakers" I figured that would be a good choice. And omg the nicotine was definitely what was missing. Can't get a throat hit like that from non nicotine juices. Trying raspberry lemonade from MBV at the moment and mmmmm it is good.

I have both those flavors..with 0 nicotine. And I don't like them much. I wonder if they are better with nicotine in them but I won't buy new samples to test that theory. I got a sample of Southern Classic 12 mg nicotine for free and I think I did like that one and ordered another sample just to make sure because I used my empty tribeca cartridges for the Sourthern Classic..so I have never tried it pure out of a tank. I don't know what I was thinking getting so many juices without nicotine. I should have tried it first, now I'm stuck with a whole bunch.

If you have a lot of 0 nic juices and you like the flavor, suggest getting a bottle of unflavored nicotine in higher strength, 36 or 45 or even 54 mg/ml. many juice vendors sell them, I like 80%PG-20%VG. Then you can add a drop or two per ml to your nicotineless juices.

Nicotine alone tastes a bit peppery, but other than that it's pretty much tasteless. It won't affect the overall flavor of your juice much, especially at lower concentrations.

Dripping from a modded carto is not advisable on an automatic battery, because of the open airway, and the high likelihood of leaking.

Actually, a juice leak (or any leak) can ruin a manual eGo-class battery also--the space around the button is not sealed and if any liquid gets inside the battery, you'll have problems.

I have been thinking of doing that. But for now I probably will just add them to some tobacco flavors and see how that goes. I should also not order anything for a while...my husband is getting close to sitting me down for an intervention lol. Although after ordering 300$ worth of cigars hinmself he can't say too much yet. :2cool:

I have noticed that maybe I might like cartos better...I have to give it time to be really sure but it seems like I get better vapor with them?
I found just the opposite. The cartos don't do anything for me since I switched to tanks and I find I get much more vapor from the tanks. But I use 18mg nic in mine.

Everybody has such different likes and dislikes. I thought Torque, Prime, Voodoo and Midnight Apple straight out of the box were awesome. Tribeca, not so much. Let it steep for 3-4 days, still don't like it..giving it more time before I start mixing it. Also, Southern Classic smells super perfumey to me, been steeping now a week and still smells yucky so I haven't tried it yet.

But, I love deeper, layered flavors and not super sweet, exception has been Voodoo. I don't think I could ever vape a straight out flavor like strawberry or peach or something sweet like that. Makes sense since I don't care for eating desserts. Give me the tobacco or coffee flavors and I'm happy!

I found the voodoo to be like perfume. I am going to steep it for a while. I can't handle more than a few puffs at a time. But I am a Torque56 addict.

If it starts working on its own it means that there is probably some juice left inside. You've got a sticky button. Dip a q-tip in some 91% Isopropyl alcohol, try to clean the best you can around that button--it's OK if the ISO gets inside, ISO is OK for cleaning electronics. Then give your battery a gentle tap or two on the table top. You have no idea how well it works for stuck buttons. And back in the rice for another 24 hrs.

If that doesn't help, the battery is gone.

While my mother in law is hunting down that isporopyl alcohol somewhere in the house (since seriously I have no idea what that is..I am a foreigner so I was like wha? ) , I (kinda gross) put my mouth over the button and just sucked real hard. And indeed some juice came out of it. I repeated this at the end of the battery. And then sprayed some compressed air too. And so far so good... If it still goes wonky I'll try the alcohol...if she ever finds it.
