Is it true that nic liquid taste slightly reduced compared to non nic one? I didn't felt it with voodoovape shown above but with the creamy type liquid I notice that the non nic one slightly have more intense taste... I am trying to think that the nic in the NT has not settled down so it need some time to reach it full potential

That could be, nicotine does give a slight peppery flavor at higher milligrams. So if you are comparing tastes between 0mg nic and 6mg nic there could be a difference. And yes, maybe it just needs some time hiding for it to settle down some. :thumb:

Hopefully that's the case megan. I really do hope NT will shine for me. The got cookie, the more I vape, the better it gets. Now flavor is not as bland as before and I can really feel the chocolate type.

Will steep betelgeuse for one week then try again... If still not good, will try for one more week while waiting for CLS or other flavor.

Win... Send us your review on the flavors that you bought as well... Would like to hear if you have great experience with some of the flavor

Also I will still give NT another chance... I am thinking CLS and Virus. Although GCD, ACB, Wakonda seems interesting. I have never had good experience with strawberry flavor... Mostly so so and the best I had so far probably Otai Lejen

Try Virus and CB, or Virus and Wakonda and I think you will have a better experience. Interested to hear your thoughts after trying either of those two.:)

Material list that I've used:
- Japanese organic cotton
- khantal c wire 24awg
- 3mm coil with 9 wraps

If anyone can spot if I made a mistake, please let me know and will highly appreciate it.

So, how about got cookie? Throat hit was good... Vapor is better than betelgeuse and I can see it is thicker... Maybe more vg %. Taste? Quite bland to me.. I can feel some chocolate mostly on exhale but it wasn't as vivid as other US or Malaysian liquid. This is may need to break in first since it is a new wick but normally with other liquid it is good since the start

Your coil is too high above the air hole if that's a Lemo...

Hi Soignee, do you think so? I will try to move it a little bit down and see if it give me better effect. At the moment tank is full with got cookie... I have just fill it in until full and it will be messy to change it now.

Your suggestion intriguing though.. Hmmm... Would love to really try it now... Maybe a syringe would help me empty the tank first

On the tank you have you may want to try more loosely spaced coils it looks similar to a lemo (or is a lemo) and in my experience of my friends that I've built if there isn't space between the coils it doesn't get as much flavor.

Hmmm would love to see this as well... I like to explore, so geez when someone make suggestion I would love to try them all..

Problem is, I tried it before and seems like I am not good yet at making spaced coil. They would turn not really even... Also I have just ordered kuro coiler and it won't help at all for spaced coil

Do you think cream Brule would be a better option compared to cls? Right now the issue is my local supplier don't have any virus, cls, cb or Wakonda with nic. They only have betelgeuse and got cookie with 6mg nic.

It would be a waste for me if I bought 0 nic and I will be looking for the stinkies again. When I vape 6mg nic, I might only have 5 sticks... Zero nic, I am almost back at a pack per day... But it was 2 packs per day for the last 10 years before I start vaping though... Improvement is still improvement and I am hoping I would be free of stinkies soon...

I run my coils 2 mm above the air hole on a Lemo at highest.

Loose coils, twisted 27 gauge, 7/64 (or 2.778 mm) internal diameter, well wicked with Rayon was my favorite build for the Lemo.

I give the edge to CB, but CLS with some steep is good. Mixes well with a lot of the other juices too. Wish I could solve your availability issues. I vape 6mg myself. Glad you are getting an improvement in getting away from cigarettes. I do loose coils just wrapping on a mini screwdriver and not pushing the coils tight together. Don't know if nicotine is available around you to add to some of the more popular zero nic flavors. Wish I knew the restrictions where you live better for ordering direct from Nicoticket and hopefully your supplier gets more soon. With juices like Wakonda stopping smoking is actually something pleasant tastes better and you feel better. Sending good thoughts for you.

when I make spaced coils, I'm fairly bad at them as well, I actually wrap them tightly, mount them, then space them with a pin/needle nose pliers.

You can also wrap them tight, then while keeping them on the drill bit (or whatever you wrap on) tug on each leg. The coils will space evenly if you are pulling evenly. Keeping it on the bit keeps the form and inner diameter. Then you just straighten out the legs again without disturbing the coil.

Here is my trial with spaced coil and not too far from the deck.

The only issue is I was putting in the wrong liquid. It is using butterscotch chiller at the moment. Has same brown color but lighter. I put leftover in syringe if I bored and want to change into other flavor.

I got like 10 syringes with leftover liquids. Cause sometime I still have like 3 ml and I just want to vape different flavor. Could have use my Orchid but the lemo is my favorite atm.

So, how does it vape?

Hi Soignee... Sorry but can't really tell any different.

It made small popping but not too bad... I might need to change from spaced and not spaced more times then might be able to tell if there is any difference.

Btw, the got cookie liquid grows in me.. I just finished my 15ml. Also just found a brick and mortar shop in town selling ACB, CB, and CLS with nic. Hmmm which one should I try...
Also lured by 5 pawns gambit but I want to limit my budget this month... Been trying too many things.

Phassat, just tried Strawnilla, taste exactly like Otai. Well I'm little disappointed, with such hype, it tastes like Malaysian liquid. Maybe a bit, just a bit better. Otai in 6mg is too harsh for me, but Strawnilla in 6 is spot on. But flavor, exactly the same.

Not sure how old your liquid is, coming from the US and all, but Strawnilla does need some steeping time to get really yummy. I think recommended steeping time is 60-90 days?
