I'll have to check out that buffalo cheese. I admit I'm worried about the dry mustard. I never was a dry mustard fan and I definitely do not want FO soup to have any spicy bite to it.

It has to be used with restraint , pull a little bit of soup out and add a tiny amount to see if it agrees with you , if not don't use it , it'll work just fine without it , some combinations do yield unexpectedly good results that you wouldn't expect though so it's worth trying . I used to do a dessert with pears poached in red wine , the X factor for that one was whole black peppercorns in the wine , most people can't see black pepper pairing with fruit but it works quite well .

I'm not a red wine drinker. I do like white wine on occasion, however. But I LLOOVVEE wine (all kinds of wines) in cooking. Adds great flavor. And I can see the black peppercorns adding a nice flavor to that pear dish.

That looks dang good too! Thanks.

Better make sure your wife and friends have soup also. 6 cups of onions.. wow.

I'll let them cry over them.

Yeah it just comes down to preference but being lazy horizontal is my favorite position for coils and for my getting old body .

I was thinking you were going a different direction with this until I read the whole sentence.

not the tears cutting them up.. the tears you'll cause by breathing..

Actually cooked onions/garlic aren't nearly as vile as raw ones on the breath.

Usually affects the other end worse.

I add a tiny touch of Kahlua to mine.... gives it a tad bit of sweetness and mellows out the bite from the leeks....

Dust, is your ZNA a 20 or 30?

Dust, is your ZNA a 20 or 30?

I have the Perfection Vapes 20W ZNA model. It was the only one I could get my hands on.

Did LA come back with a ZNA Lite today?!

I'm trying to figure out why you got a DNA if your max vaping wattage is 15 watts. Or did you want to be able to do some regulated subohming with your ZNA?

Just got back! So excited to have this. Bronze, I wanted the ZNA for regulated sub-ohming. And because I fell in love with the form factor.

The tube is Aluminum Graphite 18650. The ZNA is awesome with the Magma. I haven't even tried the KFLs yet.

What kind of watts do you run while subohming? And how low are you going on your resistance?

 

[LAwaters]

What kind of watts do you run while subohming? And how low are you going on your resistance?

I am experimenting with watts, starting at 12 and working my way up to see how the flavor changes. I'm at 15.2 right now. So far 14 watts was spot on with my 28 ga, .7 ohm dual coils.

I'm trying to remember the watts Retic mentioned as ideal at .7 on the Magma.

I did not buy it for regulated sub-ohming, but because I loved how solid it looked. Knowing that it was a Zen product, I bought one for a hefty chunk of change without ever having seen or held one. I've not been disappointed yet by it. The added fact that it was made for an 18500 battery was a plus for me. I didn't care for the extended 18650 tube. I also knew that I would probably not put it through it's paces as far as what it was capable of, but then I didn't do that with my Provaris either.

Well, you're going about it the right way by experimenting at different levels of power and resistance. I know retic has his dialed in but that doesn't mean that is where you will like it. It would be a good place to start and then drift to both sides to see where it performs best for you. What is the low end resistance limit on your 30?
