JonboyUSMC's Lava Tanks

[SummerDawn]

Oh heck Summer, I was looking forward to seeing your Cheescake almost as much as you were! It looked so pretty in the pics. Keep fingers crossed for tomorrow. I haven't tried this yet, but may have to until these holidays are over. I'm talking about boiling out and drying cartos for re-use. I've heard some good results if you do it as demonstrated in the Utube vid. My cartos stay a lot nicer and cleaner looking when they have been used in the tank, but not sure what would happen to a punched carto? They didn't cover that.

Edit: I have tried this with the EMDCCs but used the steam cleaning technique with good results. Never tried with the Boges.

Ack, me too! And it's going to look so pretty and vape like a champ on my 6v GLV with a 3.0 ohm carto. Can't wait.

I boiled cartos when I used KR8's. Haven't since... And I am also curious to know if there is a difference with punched cartos. I use all SS Boges. I'd like to get an average life expectancy on running cartos solely in a tank. If I run them straight up, I know I can expect anywhere from 3 refills up to 8 depending on all sorts of factors before they start to go a bit, what I like to call stale. But yesterday the carto in my Bubblegum Pearl went completely 'stale' and tasteless. Tasted almost like a slightly toasted vape. Not like the nasty burning taste of a dry atty, just tasteless and ever so slightly burnt. And I had only been using it for about a day and a half. I was like,

Yea i didn't pm him i will now and buy a few didn't want to bug him or know i could buy extras.. Summer its not Really BLING gold it subtle and I'm sure in daylight it will stand out more but i was looking for a low key gold so its perfect! Throw a light to it and it sparkles like a charm.. Again to me perfect.

What I have noticed is I can get about 6 good refills on my menthols, and only about 3 on my coffee flavors before they don't do it for me anymore and I want a new carto. I tried to change my avatar by myself so I'm about to see if it worked. I'm pressing submit now!

hahaha....wrong picture!!

I like it. Kind of looks like Santa's beard. Very festive.

Somebody made some darn good choices! Let me know how you like "The Pie" and you've gotta try Black Raspberry Lemonade sometime! So yum! I'll fill up a 6ml for you before I come down.. I'm also at 12mg, and the concentration is 40pg/60vg. Close enough.

Is that one on the right Pear? Just curious as to the 0mg factor. Nighttime vape?

If it's a mistake, he can send it to me. I use 0mg

No mistake...somebody sent me some 24mg Pear that was too strong...I'm down to 12mg nowadays. So I ordered some 0 nic to blend with it to cut it down to 12 without diluting the flavor. Haven't tried it yet...only so many tanks to go around

Judging by the CC thread, DJ is in a pie induced nic coma by now.

That pie is unreal...I started getting a nic headache and kept vaping it anyways. But I'm onto the Irish Cream now....ooooooohhhh this is gooood

hahaha....wrong picture!!

I love the picture. Makes for an awesome avi. I vape light juices exclusively. I will only vape darker juices like sweets or my darker beverages (CC Sweet Tea) in atty's. They throw off the flavor in my tanks too much when 99% of what I vape are fruits and light beverages. So I would assume it's closer to 8. When you say refills, Cat, are you talking refilling the tank? Because if that's the case, I was only on my first refill when the carto went stale. I filled it the first time, awesome flavor, vaped through it. Then I refilled the tank, got I'd say.... 40 hits in and the carto when bland on me. I'm hoping it was just that one batch because my carto I'm running in my Crushed Mud right now is going pretty strong flavor-wise. I dunno..

I hear the pie is awesome. This is the first beta run I haven't been a part of since I joined the Copper Creek thread. Too many people were interested this time, but FV's promised me a spot on the next one.

Right now I've got a 30ml of Creme de Menthe coming, a sample of the Ever Special (Black Currant), and my Rawr juice. And that'll be it for juice until after Disney. Just too strapped for cash and what I really, really need are more cartos.

Unfortunately, the pie will have to wait until 2012.

Me too....very sharp. I'm not a gold fan, but with this I really like the contrast of the gold on black.

The rest of "Christmas came early..."

Those are all the flavors i want to try.. Ive had the House Blend, Cake, Peach, and Cappuccino... All great.

I was exclusively vaping house blend in atties, then when i got this lava the other day, through some House in there and it tastes much better.. I think i was burning it up in the atties..

I have not found a vendor I like more than Copper Creek, all around. I have tried some vendors who have certain juices I like (Vapealicious, Virgin Vapor, Rawr) but Copper Creek is my go-to vendor. I know I will never be disappointed by anything FlyingV comes out with, hence why I just havehavehave to try all her new flavors, every time. Even if it sounds like something I won't like, I usually end up surprising myself. Like the Copper Creek Coffee, for instance. Haven't liked coffee vapes since about a month or so after I started vaping. But I love her Coffee.

I'm surprised how much I like the pie, I typically don't vape dessert juice. But the witch doctor nailed that one...tastes just like pie filing. The black currant is going right up there with my favorite fruit vapes....reminds me exactly of the black currant iced tea I brew.
SD I highly doubt the pie will last till Disney...I'd be surprised if it lasts till tomorrow lol. But let me know what you need, I'll bring you some supplies to keep you going. Can't have you running out of stuff halfway through vacation.

SD, Don't know why but if I leave my watermelon flavor out for a couple of days sitting on a counter or my desk it start to lose flavor, but if I keep it in the refridge and take it out and let it warm up to use and put it back in the refridge, the flavor stays the same for the whole bottle....I have always kept my juices in the fridge in sealed containers and never had a problem with them. Now if the flavor sucks, it is because the juice was sucky to begin with...lol
just my 2 pennies..,

I really like House, but it is too much for me to be an all-day vape. Most dark juices are. To give you somewhat of an idea...

My all-day vapes are Black Raspberry, Cherry, Pear, Mint, Raspberry, Cherry Lemonade, Black Raspberry Lemonade from Copper Creek. Hype from AVE. Blue Nectar, which is one of bmwjen's DIY flavors. Butterfly Bait from Mom and Pop Vapor Shop.

Hoping to add Rawr's Strapple to that list soon, and Copper Creek's Creme de Menthe and Black Currant.

Well maybe I'll keep the pic up for awhile. It hides all my wrinkles. I was talking about filling cartos straight up. With the tank I can only get maybe two or three runs with the coffee's. The first run is always perfect. I can get more runs off the same carto in the tank, too. I dunno. I think it's the flavored coffees that fill up the voids in the filler reeal fast and it just can't absord and go's flat. I'm still workin on tank refills and getting the top on just right so I don't get that stupid girgle/flood thing going on. And yes, I have watched dinos videos. It's all about that "bubble" that I NEVER see when I reload.
