Legend perfect as soon as I got it open milder than the stuff I just ran out of
Crackberry mild blackberry ( its the hidden flavor in Legend)
Cinful Pear mild cinnamon hint of pear
Java smooth definately coffie creamy needs more time

took a 6ml bottle of the new legend and added 5 drops crackberry to it.... nummy brought out the berry in legend a bit more, didnt change the overall flavor, just brightened up the existing berry in it

Altho the 36 nic is even a huge change over the 30 nic level 2-3 hits and Im good for several minutes not like the several hits on 30 to be satisfied...

Bunnykiller,

I am curious about the NIC levels you use to get where you feel satisfied. What kind of vaporizer are you using?

I find the NIC effect for me is highly dependent on the atty I use.
When I use my ZAP Pro with XC-116 (braided silica with hollow center) for the wick and a 2.5 ohm coil at six watts If I am not carefully @ 24 mg (HHV 50/50 mix) I will get hot flashes and the sweats (they go away within a few minutes if I put the mod up for a few minutes). This is also true with my RSST clone with the same configuration as the ZAP (RSST drilled out to .0625, ZAP has factory air hole).

Both these atty configurations give me a pretty heavy and fine mist which is what I attribute to the more potentate NIC effect. The NIC intensity is OK with me the only time it is a problem is when I am not paying attention and start to chain vape.

24 mg NIC is OK for my need with all my attys but if I really need to play catch-up i.e. in the morning I will use one of the attys I described above. With something like one of my Kanger Pro tanks I tried 18 mg and I had to keep hitting on it so I went back to 24 mg which allows me to take a few hits (OK more than a few) and forget about it for as mush an hour.

Anyway this is just a long winded way of saying that the atty and airy draws (lots of fine vapor) can make a big difference in the NIC your body takes in [IMHO]. :vapor:

Hey Holman,

Im using a Vamo3 with an RSST ( silica 3mm wick feeding a bed of cotton with cotton or 3mm Silica inside coil) normal ohmage is about 1.8, wire is 30ga 7/8 wraps on avg. I find that when the cotton is very wet, I get loads of flavor. When the cotton becomes "white" ( almost dry but not burning yet), vapor density increases to almost subohm levels. As far as nic dosing, 24nic is a constant - in - the-mouth thing. 30nic level I pull several deep hits and Im good for several minutes. The 36 is a 2-3 hit satisfyer, almost too much, got the nic-sic headache and throat goofies. I tried the same mix in my CE8 and found it to be less "effective" in delivering the taste and nic satisfaction. Since my Protank has turned into a sieve ( leaks and dribbles) I didnt test it out... but I would say the RSST does do a fine job in delivery.. Trying to imagine what the KFC is going to be like ;)

    I could not come up with an eloquent enough answer like you did.. :D Even Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods who pretty much has eaten anything and everything draws the line at eating Durian!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
    Yeah I remember that episode , sometimes he's hard to watch especially if I'm trying to eat when the shows on , but I had to try it out of curiosity but never again , it smells putrid .

    I added subscriptions to all of them, so I can find them later. Thanks!

    Chak, my family and a few friends have ribbed me quite a bit about the size of the vamo (with lg batteries). I also carry a small purse. That's why I went with the mini.
    You're welcome! I was surprised that my regular sized ProVari with extension cap is still about an inch shorter than my Vamo in 18650 mode! The ProVari is just a small tad bigger around than the Vamo, but it feels solid and comfortable in my hand.

    I much prefer the Jackfruit we get in India. Similar look and feel with smaller spines but sweet goodness on the inside.

    HI Holman! It's me, Stephuhnator from motoX! Long time, no see my friend :)

    Hey Mz. Stephuhnator... long time no see.

    Talk about great minds continually crossing paths, this is almost Devine Intervention. ;)

    The other day (don't remember what thread) I saw "Stephuhnator" and no couldn't be, just goes to show ya I should never trust my gut.

    So you turned to vaping also - EXCELLENT !!! I have been cig free for just under eight months now and for me that is difficult to believe. I am so grateful for stumbling onto the e-cig realm.

    By the way I am back with Motorola again. I couldn't afford to keep up with the iPhone products. I am too busy spending money on this new vaping hobby (lifesaver) albeit the spending is finally starting to tapper off but God the learning curve can be expensive. Vaping should come with a warning "Just by the best/top of the line equipment and e-juice at the get-go because you will end up there anyway". :D

    Now that I know you are you I will make it a point to jump in and visit with you on your threads. That supposed to be a good thing. :blush:

    Very best and long overdue regards
    George

    Well... You don't leave me with much to comment on. Your equipment and mine sound pretty much the same. It just caught me off guard when you mentioned using 36 mg NIC. I have tried 36 mg but the headaches and hot-flashes hit me almost immediately regardless of the equipment.

    For me 24 mg is the magic number. As I said earlier I tried 18 mg and that just didn't cut it. It strikes me as strange that for me the correct amount of NIC has such a narrow range, 24 mg, higher or lower is just a no go.

    By the way over the years I ranged between 1+ to 2 packs a day and just about a year before discovering Vaping I was smoking about a pack or slightly less per day.

    Dust, the H1N1 really gunks up the coil. I ran 2 tanks of it since Friday. I swear I saw a small flame when I cleaned/burned my coil.

    bridget,

    Just some trivia, I was watching a Youtube "how to" and every time the guy torched his coil it flamed up like a candle and burned for several seconds after he remove the torch. He was reviewing several liquids and did a clean torch burn before moving on to the next liquid and it flamed every time so it wasn't a "one-off".

    :2c:

    Yes, yes, George, great minds think alike don't we :D I have 8 months smoke free under my belt as well, Congrats to you, so glad you found ECF too! I wanted to make sure vaping would really work for me before I jumped in and got a ProVari since none of my other efforts to quit smoking had worked at all before. Finally at 8 months my boyfriend and I decided we were committed enough to deserve a ProVari ;)

    I haven't had a Motorola in years now, my last Moto was when the new Razr2 came out. Sporting a Blokia Nokia Lumia with Windows 8 now, all stock, haven't modded a phone in forever it seems. I do keep up with some of the modding family mainly over on Facebook with kent, omygodisitme, IonNuke, Dmatt, etc...

    Yes, the learning curve is expensive, but we wouldn't want to leak ejuice all over our expensive mod before learning how NOT to would we?!? hehe See ya around George!

    Truthfully, we are spoiled with these HHV juices. On level, they are very clean burning juices.

    And Heavenly Tobacco is the cleanest burning of all of them. I can go through a lot of refills of HT in my Vivi Novas before I need to rinse and dry burn. It amazes me how HT just does not gunk up a coil.

    Truthfully, the gunkiest HHV I've come across is CAT. And it's not even a NET.

    Kewl, what do they taste like???

    Ha ha ha, if you can get past the smell the taste is actually not too bad. It has a very strong oder that sometimes turns people away (probably a natural defence against insects and animals). So it's one of those love it or hate it, things. However, it's also - believe it or not one of the most expensive and sought after fruits in Thailand. The meat of the fruit is in 4 to 5 sections around the central core and has a light yellow color. When ripe it has a soft, sweet, creamy texture. I can't liken the taste to any fruit I've ever had before. It's eaten by itself or with sweet sticky rice and coconut milk. They also take nearly ripe ones and slice it really thin and fry it up crisp and salt it like potato chips. Good stuff Maynard! Warning though, not to eat too much on of it till your body gets accustom to it. First time I ate it, I had three sections and was loose for three days.
