Damn it, Clark. Every time I think I've sent you enough of my money for the month, I read messages like these. Off to order Hummingbird! *&$*#&@*!!

Thank you kindly for the order m8! Let me know your order # here when you get a chance ;)

We're all in the that boat with you. I've made an order every week for the last month to get these short runs but I guarantee I'm done for this month and I won't....


Oh wait, isn't Frenilla coming out on the 22nd? ....................... Maybe just one more order. :glare:


and another after the next pay day if it's still around


Getting on an epic steep cycle.

Never heard of a lychee before, but I just had to get some to go with my radioactive. I'm usually not real big on fruity flavors, but I do like to try new things. I'll add my 2cents when it arrives

Thank you for the order Gater - I hope it finds you well - this is poised to take a permanent spot so if it hits for you, zing, new ADV!

Steeping time has varied from right out of the mailbox to about a week steep time.
Tested on two different set-ups - PT3 on MVP2, 3.7V - muted but still a lovely blend of tart and sweet. I really love dripping this one though. I tried it on my iGo W, dual coil, .44ohm Fuego mod - The cranberry has a definite tart bite to it, while the lychee is bright and sweet. I loved this one so much I had to rush to get a bigger bottle before ya'll run out of it. Deeeelightfully Deeelicious!

Thank you so much for the feedback ASH! Agree on the muted part - it's almost by design (less throat hit)... it doesn't POP like the 65PG fruits - trying to get that fruit over MAXVG = a ton of flavoring!!

Steep time: out of the mail - two days

Nic Level: 6

Tank/Atomizer: igo-w

Mod: (mechanical, VV) chi you style

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: elegant, the cranberry is vague, and then suddenly overpowered by the amazing Lychee ( had no idea what the hell this was at first, wow was I surprised. I took this out with me at night to a party, got the usual people asking me bout them storm clouds, and every single person that tried it asked for more, smiled after each vape, and those who didn't vape started to think about vaping. This juice is good, not an all day. Gets a little tiring after a while for me, the Lychee is strong but it's good. Damn good.

Steep time: none

Nic Level: 6mg

Tank/Atomizer: RM2 at 1.6, cotton wick

Mod: (mechanical, VV) Reo Woodvil

Thoughts/Tasting Notes: thick, velvety vapor. neither flavor is overwhelming. sweet, creamy lychee inhale and exhale, with a tart cranberry bite on the tip of my tongue going out.

at first, I tried this 1:1 diluted with 12mg unflavored 50/50, cuz I have to- otherwise this flavor junkie is overloaded by flavor with the RM2. blessing and a curse! I added more Hummingbird to the the bottle when space was available, as I wanted to taste *more* .... and I need help- I had to change the wick and burn the coil twice within the same 3ml bottle! gunked as all get up, could certainly notice the flavor loss.. maybe I had too much cotton. perhaps I was over-squonking.

any suggestions?

Did you try it straight up first? Was it too much for your buds?

the more I added, the gunkier the coil got! and the sooner I lost flavor. just put in a fresh 1.5 coil and will try again tonight, watching my cotton thickness and squonk. the juice was cooking on the deck, contaminating the bottle below- I was probably squeezing too often.

I'm seeing others going sub ohm with this, so that has to be it.

I'm on vertical coils with my RM2s now, seems to drain better. Keep in mind Da Bird is THICK so it might need time to drain back down. (shouldn't be that bad if you PG'ed it down, though?)

1:1 with 50/50 w/nic brings it to 40/60, close to what I'm used to, so I went to town like I normally do, but more so cuz it's new and friggin delicious. tonight I added more 50/50 nic'd to what was leftover from last night- no clue at this point.

trying my hardest to pay attention to the squonk and also not taking 10 second drags. cuz that could also be part of my problem.

steep time: usps international delivery plus a couple of days (lol)

its a bit ravaging on the coils .. but the lychee is a bit less dominant when dripping at 0.6 ohm dual coil / cotton now. Cranberry flavor is more and about.

On a evod the coils get massacred as well .. flavor is a bit muted as expected for a clearo :p.

Iclear30 s .. i fear for that coil but the flavor is also there although a bit muted.

On a russian clone.. well that clone was so crap it didnt feed enough juice through < 1mm juice channels. So thats an unreliable result ;) have to get a original russian or kayfun ;/

Over the board the vapor production is very good too. when dripping it steams like a boss.

Confirms what I already knew honestly - dripper material. I wasn't aware it was a coil abuser though, mine have been burning clean.

This is an interesting take because some people get more cranberry, some get lychee, and some get a nice balance. Do you have that Igo-W drilled out, curious?
