    Last night at bowling during an outdoor vape break (brr) one of the gals was asking me about the burnt taste she was getting from her Protank/Ego set up. She purchased the tank on vacation over Thanksgiving. I asked if she had replaced or rebuilt her coil recently and I got the deer in the headlights look. Her reply was I rinse out the tank on a regular basis....she had no idea the bottom of the tank had the replaceable coil. I can't believe someone sold her the tank in a B&M with no instructions. She was going to go home and see if she had a replacement in the box and/or any instructions. I suggested perhaps she should give me a call so we could get together and I could explain a few things to her.
    I believe it that's SOP for the BM's here that and charging 80$ for a 650 mah ego knockoff with a protank .

    I'm still waiting for my order of Dipity to show up. It's been in transit for 8 days now, and as of this morning it was in Montreal. What it's doing in Montreal, and why it went to Montreal, 5 hours away is completely unknown to me. :facepalm:

    I hate it when vape mail goes site seeing on the way to its destination!! :mad:

    I'll definitely second that but add request extra extract , BK forgot to do that and comparing his Legend with mine there's a night and day difference in tobacco flavor .

    I am hoping thats what was wrong with my first bottle of Dragons Fire, I didnt get any extra put in it and I thought it was just bland tasting. I did order it again and I got the extra in it that time, its about to come up in the rotation and I am eager to try it again.

    I am always surprised at how uneducated vapers are who rely solely on B&M,s. I am also surprised at how poorly they are educated. Some of the stuff B&M operators tell vapers is so far offbase. That would be very nice of you to sit down with this gal and give her a vaping primer. I think she would appreciate it and it would increase her chances of vaping success.

    order legend and make a request to add extra extract? what does the extra extract do? who is BK?

    The Burger King guy. :)

    BunnyKiller.

    Most people can't tell much of a difference in the added extract (even Adam admits that). I never could tell the difference with Legend. But Retic says he can so there's at least one who disagrees. I think there are a few others who order with extra extract too so it's not like they are unrepresented.

    I'm sure this really help unconfuse you. :) Order it either way CayCay.

    Will do for sure Bronze...it was too cold to mess around outside last night...I think the set up will work well for her as she is a 'lite' vapor, she just needs to understand a little maintenance. She ended up with the ProTank because she purchased a Cinnamon juice and they told her to get a glass tank. Now I will say that the B&M I went to recently was very helpful and I didn't find their prices to be outrageous.

    I gotta say I notice a big difference in regular Legend and Legend with extra extract. I much prefer the added extract. With that said all of my extra extract juice is gone but damn this 11 month old regular Legend is still great

    Have i mentioned how much I love Legend?? :p

    Chak orders extra extract too.

    My personal take on it, the extra extract just helps to get started with the juice quicker. Good for those that do not long steep their juices.

    If you're a long steeper, you don't need it because the regular level of extract (like Slim just said) will automatically get things going.

    I found if you long steep AND get extra extract, it gets a bit much and the tobacco or other flavour notes can change the taste of the juice..

    I've tried both ways, and prefer to get regular and a mid to long steep. :)

    Slim you're actually the one that gave me the idea for the extra extract in Legend so I owe you thanks for that . CayCay when you order from HHV their is a section for comments on the order form , you can type in your request for extra extract there , I find a big difference in flavor it might solve your problem with Shadow not having enough flavor as well .

    Don't pay any attention to him. He's just annoyed that Dusty changed his favorite to Huntsman :p
    :evil:
    snicker

    DF was once Dust's favorite and then it suddenly did not appeal to him anymore. There was some thought maybe he got a bad bottle (and that remains a possibility). Not sure how that played out, but I'm posting now because I bought another bottle shortly after Dust gave up on DF. It was mixed on 11-15-2013. I loaded my KFL with it yesterday and have been vaping it since. As the self-proclaimed, foremost aficionado of DF, I can say without hesitation it is the same ole DF that it has always been. I bought 600 mls last Spring and have been feeding from that supply since. But it is about gone. In this time, I also purchased a previous bottle and had another bottle sent to me by another ECF member. Those were mixed in the summer when others swore they were not the same. In all cases, the flavor was the same. I'm guessing few (if any) have vaped more DF than me since it was created so I don't want you to think I'm talking out my rump. :)

    That is so cool that you will help her out. At least the B&M warned her about the tank possibly cracking from the cinnamon and recommending the glass ones.

    Good for your Dad!

    Yes, I would put these three on his list to try...

    1) Legend
    2) Dragon's Fire
    3) Huntsman

    And I have some non-HHV's he can try too. I'll PM you.
