Well, the good ol' CA gov is at it again. Bill AB1500 proposes to ban shipping of anything ecig related in CA. Bad news for us who buy juice online. Easily enforceable, because the credit card companies would comply.

This could put damper on my juice intake.....

If all stays true to form, experience tells us that Politicians on all levels have mastered the art of what I call.....yakkity yak blah blah blah.blah

It seems to me, that they state these proposals, then do nothing, waiting to see what other states are doing. I use the... Tax all internet sales as an example

Patiently waiting for J-Vapor to call. Owner of J-wraps opened a new B&M store on Saturday and they are still working on their website. I am ordering another 14500 VV kit. I love these small PV's! lrider.jpg :pop:

Actually I think the Internet sales tax is a reality, but I only know of a few people that report it and the man power isn't there to ensure compliance.

It looks like I found the thread to ask my question - the thread of people who actually vape & enjoy MBV's liquids. I have just placed my first order, it should be here in a couple of days. I ordered well in advance of need, so it can have lots of steeping time before I try it. My question is about flavour shots (and yes, it should have been asked before I ordered, but I couldn't find a thread that was actually about MBV juice!). I ordered 5 different flavours, and I got 1-3 extra flavour shots in each of them. My tastebuds are still healing, and I often have trouble tasting my juices. At this point, I guess I'm just asking what to expect. Is this going to put my juice in the slightly stronger flavoured range, or just barely flavoured, or over-flavoured, or what?

Alright, I couldn't wait. This morning I built a double strand nest coil for my new KFL clone.

Double Strand Nest Coil for Kayfun - In depth tutorial - YouTube

Made a spaced 6/7 coil. 30ga on 2mm silica. Was shooting for 1.8 - got 1.6.
Used a juice I am *very* familiar with so I can tell the differences between this KFL and my other heads. My beloved Dime Piece from Mr. E-Liquid.
Throat hit is massive. I haven't coughed like this since my first week of vaping.
Smoke is medium. About the same as my PT2. I don't know if I choked off the channels with my placing of all that wick, or if the channels are cut too thin and shallow [visibly smaller than on a real R91] or if this is it. Time will tell.
Getting just a little funk in my flavor. Hard to believe some machine oil survived my clean, but it may have. Or it could be that fasttech silica. I just lightly burned it with a yellow flame lighter, not a white flame torch.
Flavor is more intense than from the PT. Like that a lot.

Hey Busardo....it is NOT a cool vape. At 1.6 it is decidedly warm. Which I like.

I'll have to experiment to find the sweet spot, but it's a big upgrade over my PTs.
It's a keeper. Glad I got it.


Now....HOW do you tell when the thing is full?? I'm using the metal tank to prevent tank cracking.

It depends on the type of liquid and your preferred mix of PG/VG. I like stronger flavors and go with 2 shots for 65/35 and 3 for 50/50. Some flavors need less, some more. Too many flavor shots can mute flavors instead of enhancing them but I haven't run into that problem. I have never ordered anything with 5 flavor shots though.

Really just depends, what flavors did you order?

I as a general rule order 50/50 with 2 shots. But that being said some flavors
don't need any shots at all.

Thanks very much! I should be okay then - my juices are 65/35 and I didn't go more than 3 on anything, 2 on most. btw, I've been a Murray fan for many years.

There are ways around things................
But doesn't surprise me about California.
A few other states would follow suit yes, if this goes through.
ONE good thing about living in Missouri is.........no can't jinx myself.

I personally always order my first with no shots. If I like it and feel it would be better with a touch more flavor I order again with shots added. I always do 50/50 with 24 nic.

You should be good to go then. I am surprised so many people have recognized my signature line. More Monkey Island fans out here than I imagined. :)

I need to sit down and collect all the links to the latest findings and send them off to the SC reps again soon. There have been 7-8 new ones since my last mass mailing. :)

You all did pretty good on that other thread, spent my quickie readin' through the posts and figured I needed to stay out of it for the time being, get a chuckle out of the occasional juice snob comment, like buy such 'n such it's never bad :facepalm: Anyway, back to work...

Hi Uno. Glad to see you here. I was beginning to think you were gonna skip your lunch time quickie.

I tend to believe MBV bashing is more about the "Gotta Have It Now" types being angry at the world and really mad that MBV's liquids work for so many people, but not for them. :) So in order for them to express this anger they bash MBV and make feeble attempts to belittle everyone who likes their liquid because it makes them feel better for not liking it and not having the patience to wait for it to age and distracts them from the true issue which is that they are flawed as people. :D

Those same people will spend 2 months waiting for a clone to come from fasttech though, refuse to pay for liquids that should be aged before consumption. Weirdness.


I think the bashers are bashing to get a rise out of us. They see our huge thread at the top of the board day after day and want some action. On a less moderated board I'd have them either spluttering with rage or crying within an hour.
Here I'll just be nice.

It's a political play... they do it all the time. It's been successful more than once.

They take a ridiculous idea & push it forward to a vote, which gets shot down. Then they rely on the fact that the sheeple have extremely short memories & don't pay attention to what the public servants ruling class is really doing. They let it rest for a while & bring it back for a congressional vote, because it must not be a ridiculous idea if there was a vote on it before, right? There's a few other nuances to it, but that's the gist of it. Gov. Moonbeam is well versed in the tactic.

Definitely on to get a rise out of the MBV groupies.
People are like that.
And there is bound to be some jealousy, among other
vendors and customers.

What part of SC are you in Criticalmass? I'm new to the upstate myself.
