Hey all, has anyone noticed any inconsistency from MBV? My ADV is Butterscotch with 2 shots. My first few orders were absolutely incredible mouth watering good. I then purchased the 256ml with 2 shots and after over a month of steeping(first day with cap off) it is near unvapable. It tastes completely off, and the smell of the vapor in putrid. I'm at a loss.

Good morning MBV :) Happy Saturday

I've got a White Out thing going this morning :thumb:

Since you got the big bottle, the larger amount of juice will take longer to steep. Try steeping a smaller amount separate from the large bottle, and you might want to try a hot water steep to give the process a boost. :2c:

oh dear. I tried mixing some 12mg moo juice with some 6 mg strawberry. it was horrible. burned my mouth and throat right away. Can i really not vape anything higher than 6 mg now in my reos? :( I thought at 9ish mg's i'd be ok. I chain vape so hard on the way to work that I thought a higher mg would be good. Ugh, it was horrible. So 6mg went back into my traveling reo.

Uno, what kind of wicking do you use in your RSSTs? Mesh? XC? Ekowool? I have 2 to build and I'm torn between the standard mesh and using an Ekowool wick maybe with NI foam wrap...

edit: vaping cinnamon roll, extreme ice, and thug juice....mmmm

You did not ask me BUT....

I have RSSTs and some of the AGA series as well as a Kracken(clone)

I have found that I like different wicking materials with different juices if that makes any sense.

My thinner juices with lighter flavors taste better on Silica or Ecowool. My heavier flavors taste better on stainless wicks, I am still trying to decide weather I like cable or mesh better. Less fiddly with cable but you have a greater degree of customization on the capillary action with mesh.

My theory here is you would not have got a rebuild-able unless you wanted to tinker with it :) get some of everything and see what you like best. With a decent build there are no bad options here, just what you will like better. I did read somewhere about bubble stone and got some from the local pet supply store. It is a teeny bit more durable than ceramic and is kind of a mix of the flavor you will get from SS/Silica or Ecowool. I did try ceramics, I did like them. This is all very small stuff, I am 6'6" and have large hands so I kept snapping the wicks. YMMV of course, but it is fun to see what you like or what is going to work best for you. Hybrid SS/Ecowool wrapped wicks are nice as well. And of course nothing beats a cotton wicked dripper :)

I am still on the journey to find that "perfect vape" just when I get there I find a way to tweak it.

Feel like warmed over dead been fightin' this crud 4 days...........gettin' old.
We must have come down with similar colds about the same time...still hackin and can't breath yet, but at least some sense of taste is back. I can taste the thug juice and cinnamon Rolland the extreme ice still feels good on my throat.

Hope we both get over this crud soon.:(

My boyfriend says Vaping has a smell. Im like yah, fruity? But he's like no, the vapor has a distinct smell. *shrug* I prefer smelling like fruits and candy than assh heheh

When I was vaping tobacco flavors I found that the tobacco flavoring had a definite aroma to it. Not the smell of tobacco smoke but not pleasant either. Part of my reason for going with non-tobacco flavors was to get away from that, and I figured since I was quitting tobacco might as well quit those flavors as well. I do not miss them. My wife still insists that my carmel, berry and menthol smells like her granpa's pipe tobacco.

Thanks. Yea this ain't my first rodeo. I have 3 rssts, an AGA-T2, a cobra clone and recently a KFL and a fogger. One of the RSSTs I have set up with mesh and it works really well, but it's dedicated to a specific juice (a different vendor). I got some glass tanks for the other 2 RSSTs and wanted some other ideas. Tried cable...now I have like 10' of SS wire cable for need of 3". :facepalm: The cobra clone is setup with just XC-116 and it ok, but I'm just not a fan of that screw on cap. I might go the XC route with 1 of the RSSTs and maybe try the sleeved mesh as Uno suggested, probably with some XS-18. The KFL has a vertical coil just waiting for some hemp to get uber cleaned, just haven't felt good enough to mess with it. The flogger...well that one just needs work.
