I will once I drain this current batch of juice. I also noticed that my company and the last one are both proprietary blends, so I am unaware of PG/VG ratios. The flavor is slightly going away, the last two things I think I may have wicked it terribly or I burned something permanently.

What kind of wick are you using?

I think some of you are getting burnt or bad taste because your voltage is coming out too high. IMO voltage is what really matters for good taste and vapor production. I try to keep mine around 3.8 - 4.2 max. Once I start going much higher than 4.2 at any resistance it starts to taste bad to me. If you want to vape at a higher wattage you need to lower your ohms to get your voltage in that range.

A lot of people (including me) when they first get a VW/VV device think that now they can vape at any wattage setting on any resistance. In my experience thats not the case. Keep it in that 3.8-4.2 V range and you will get better taste. If you wanna vape at 15 watts, no problem, just bring your ohms down to .9-1.0. Just try it, you will see what I'm talking about.

Edit: I find this to hold true when using any atty, kayfun or not.

I got my Russian 91% today... it *is* rather different from the KFL+... the top cap is flat on the inside, not recessed at all. The "block" thingie, where one of the screws is that you attach the coil to, was loose when I got it, but I discovered that if you tighten the center pin screw, it fastens it down. But I think that's also how the air flow is adjusted? Not sure the air flow *is* adjustable on this one. I"m not even really sure what critter it is, to be honest. The box says "Svoemesto" with their logo, and on the back of the box it says "designed in Russia Made in Germany" but on the side it says just "Kayfun Lite". There is no Svoemesto logo on the tank itself. So I'm not sure exactly what I have. I do notice that it has a much tighter draw. right now I have my regular Virginia in my KFL+, and some Blueberry Muffin I bought yesterday in the new R91, but I may be switching those, so I can have a tighter draw on my regular vape.

I don't mind clones, but it ticks me off when they go too far. FT sells a KF clone that says designed in Russia/made in German on the bottom and Svoemesto (or Svoemest) on the body. Why? It's so unnecessary except to confuse people.
 

Not to be a downer, but that list is a bit misleading. USDA regulations for what constitutes "organic" aren't particularly stringent, and they can absolutely use pesticides and similar chemicals. While those types of pesticides can't usually be synthetic (a few are allowed), that doesn't necessarily make them non-toxic either. While I'm sure there are some organic farms that take it much farther than the USDA regulations, many of the bigger companies are going to use everything they can to ensure a good crop and just be able to squeak into the USDA organic certification. They have a long list of fertilizers and non-synthetic pesticides that are allowable for the USDA Organic certification program. Obviously other countries will have their own rules as far as that sort of thing goes. I'm also not sure how much the USDA Organic cert comes into play with regards to the post-harvest processing, but that's beyond the scope of what I've bothered to look into.

TL;DR version: "organic" is in no way a guaranteed equivalent of "devoid of potentially harmful substances". In many studies, "organic" produce has been shown to be no more safe or harmful than non-organic equivalents, and often it's little more than a marketing tool. As far as I know there have been no studies comparing organic to non-organic cotton when it comes to use as an atomizer wick. I'm not suggesting that organic cotton balls aren't a better option, just to err on the side of caution, but my point is that it's not accurate to say that non-organic cotton is necessarily more harmful. We don't know that either way, especially because this is kind of a unique and new use for things that were previously mostly just used for cosmetics.

Anyone have any pointers for thicker juices? I have been trying to get my Boba's to stick consistently, but eventually I get a dry hit.

Less cotton? The coil isn't coming the cotton and the channels are clear, but its still not keeping up. Just wondering what your thoughts are :)

I use Koh Gen Do cotton if that's helpful.

I've heard about it for ages. Of course with a silly nonsense name without descriptive words the rest of the normal people use renders it absolutely uninteresting to me also. I mean I couldn't tell if it's animal, vegetable or mineral, let alone if it's supposed to taste like xxx with additional yyy and zzz flavors.

Although I will admit to being curious about what's the primary flavor.
