You might want to just replace it for him as its a pricey name brand job.. Most places are sold out or otherwise no longer carry it but you can still get it here:

Magma V2 RDA by Paradigm Modz (Authentic)

If it was my kid that's what I'd do if I could afford it.. but I'd ask him if it was authentic or a clone first..

Yeah, It seemed like the best way to resolve the issue. So I did.

Yowsers, Roadside Vapes has some very SHINY merchandise. Beautiful stuff.

I've already shared on similar posts the mistakes i've made. The flame throwing rdta, the perfume flavored DIY black cherry cheesecake, near miss on branding my lips on rda without the cap. With this new post, I kinda feel like I gotta go and do something horrible with my vape so I'll have something new to laugh about. But I probably won't.

Yesterday 2 mistakes:

1st mistake was to get watermelon/lemon e-liquid.

Sweet flavours like popcorn,vanilla,stuff like that i get tired of,i like minty citric flavours so decided to give this a try:

Succube v2 - Vapeototal

Quality of the flavor isn't bad but the taste of Watermelon itself just spoils it for me and now im stuck with 200ml of it,oh well i guess ill have to make do.

2nd mistake:

Remember my first post when i opened this thread?
Using hand sanitizer as e-liquid?
Well it happened again,but vice versa...used e-liquid as sanitizer,no wonder my hands smelled like the Caribbean :D

When I have gotten a flavour I didn't quite like I usually mix it with another for example peach :cry: with strawberry :thumb: I end up been able to vape the original since it improves the overall flavour. Might not work for everything but just an idea :thumbs:

I have about 80ml left of this:

Phoenix - Vapeototal

Was thinking about mixing it all,then it would be combo of watermelon,pineapple and lemon all minty fresh but those 80ml i have are 50/50 PG/VG but my new batch of yucky watermelon/lemon is 70/30 PG/VG...
so not sure if mixing those PG/VG different ratios is good enough or not.

Thanks for the idea thou,cheers :)

You could try a small amount in your tank or just finish those 80ml. My guess (no expert here) will be you will end up above the 50/50 and under the 70/30. I think I might have mixed different ratios tho :lol:

think i got an empty bottlle around here somewhere,ill give it a try with a little amount and see how it comes out.
Wish things were different but throwing out almost 20 bucks of e-liquid is not an option,if i can't vape it ill make a nice bouillabaisse out of it :lol::lol:

I actually purchase some stuff on that store. Also like to shop at VapVip.

That is not an easy mix to tune down or disguise.

I just dilute it with falourless VG/PG base and use my DIY flavouring to get it closer to profiles I like.
The ice is not easy to mask if it's strong.

I just need to mask a bit of the melon,fresh,minty ice i actually like.
in my younger years i smoked a lot dunhill menthol so i kinda like the minty taste,watermelon is just to sweet for my taste.

later when i have some time ill mix a small amount and see how it comes out,if not well ill just have to make do and finish it all off.

Watermellon can be overwhelming sometimes.

Perhaps tone it down with some raspberries or strawberry?

Reminds me @AngeNZ, I'm thinking about 0.4% menthol with 0.6% Koolada in a liquid.

Also, a good piece of advice.

Do not try to consume undiluted TFA Cinnamon Red Hots flavour if you can. It's actually a decent flavour, but my it does live up to its name.
In my early days of mixing I managed to spill a full bottle of that flavor in my lap. It actually BURNED my skin. Never did vape the stuff. After living through what felt like a bad sunburn for a week from skin contact I just decided I didn't want the stuff in my lungs.

I miss my ton of gear that I left behing at home. I needed to make a selection before coming here and already purchased some new items.

The mix you suggested above seems ok. I would vape watermelon, pineapple, lemon ice liquid.

Gear wise im ok at the moment.
I mean ive seen some of the posts around here and pics of people and their collections,for them it's a hobby,a way of life if you will.

For me not so much hehe,not into the techy techy stuff,suffered like a madman putting my first coil the other day and wicking i just do it because it needs to be done,don't really enjoy it.

Once i get my Jackaroo ill use it for my Wasp Nano RTA and ill keep my Innokin Zlide on my Swag 80w,tired of swapping atomizers all the time.

Maybe in the near future ill look for a better atomizer to use with my jackaroo (it's in processing at DHL in Hong Kong,seems it will arrive in time hehe),but it will probably be something that i can coil/wick easily and wont give me any problems.

But with 2 mods and 2 atomizers im all set,jack and wasp for outside use (big clouds and flavour) and the Swag and Zlide for when im at home and i cant cloud the whole place out.

Mixed a small amount of both flavors and it came out better than expected,now im going to mix the whole batch,that watermelon taste is just so overpowering and sweet.
Tried few flavors,im fairly new at this but so far for me it has to fresh minty like and with citric flavour,i think that is what ill be going on for now.

Some spanish shops have amazing outlets and discounts. Made some great purchases there.

Vapeototal has in stock one of the concentrated liquids I usted to vape a lot. One of my favourites. Needs to steep for a while but it's sooooo gooood.

yep,that is the page ive been using to get some vape stuff,got me the Innokin Zlide with some coils,base and flavours,etc.

Cant afford to get the long maceration flavours so i have a limited amount of them i can get,for now i know not to order the watermelon again hehe

this is the one from the last order i made:

Succube v2 - Vapeototal

but delivery service is very good,i mean it's all packaged well with plenty of bubble wrap so im happy with their service so far.

Ahahah, dude, I really sympathize with you :)
God, the bottles are so similar. I had a little freshener and it was also of a similar shape and once I almost made the same mistake. By the way, recently I spilled a new tasty liquid and I was very offended because of this. I searched for this taste for a long time and found a similar liquid on aquavape.co.uk. I also like to smoke vape while watching movies, and when I decided to add a little liquid to the vape, I spilled a lot of liquid on the bed and now I have to wash it ... So after that I very carefully add the liquid!
