I never hear anyone talk about the RY4. I have some of the flavoring. Any suggestions on what to add to it to make it something better? Madagascar Vanilla maybe, with a wee bit of butterscotch or caramel candy??

I should have vape mail today too, and it's been awhile. My MVP2 is due in today. It will be my first vv/vw device and I'm excited. Thinking of getting the smaller form factor Inokin ITaste vv/vw3 for stealth. Anyone have one? I like that they're ego size but square, and have the variable wattage too. reviews seem to be good.

Hope everyone is having a good morning. I'm up way early since I was up til 7:30 am.....might have to power nap it today!!

Sorry if this has been repied to before.

VV3 is a great device, it is not an all day device for me. It has a lot of features for an ego sized device. it does not have that hard of a hit when charging so theoretically you could use the USB port on a computer but I never have. Charge lasts me about 3 hours if I am where I can vape. It does everything it is supposed to very well it just does not have enough power to be a serious contender for me.
MVP2 is a stellar performer, full featured and every thing it says on the box it does well. I have even used it to charge my VV3. I use it almost as much as I do my Provaris.

MVP2 and Provari go with me to work every day.

VV3 goes with if I have a training or need to stealth, it also comes along when me and the wife go out. Sometimes my MVP2 or Provari come. I tend to not vape in public where you aren't supposed to smoke and really do not care what people think :)

I mostly use the VV3 for dry burning coils or testing flavors at home with the little 510 atties.

+1 on the IGO-L or -W (don't need to build both coils) and top pick of mine for a startin' Genny is the RSST...

My RY(ish) is a concoction for sure, RY4 double TFA, Hangsen Deluxe tobacco flavoring, then additional caramel, bavarian cream and vanilla swirl for a total of 7.5% to 8% flavorings if I remember correctly. I stay 3 months ahead for a long steep, vape this the first 3 - 4 hours Im at work :)

I realize that with the W, I just like the look of the L better and the one stock airhole. I prefer a tight draw as it mimics smoking for me. I am not a cloud chaser, even though I do vape very low ohm on a mech. Even w/ the stock airhole I am still creating my own weather patterns. Your RY4 is definitely far more pro than mine, I haven't done any DIY wizardry with the flavoring yet, just mix it straight. I think I have to get some of that Bavarian Cream, I see it in lots of people's recipes. And caramel. And strawberry. And about 100 other flavorings.

Mmm. Just smelled my wannabe Thug Juice. I think I will be mixing this one for a long time, it's not the same, but I absolutely love it. Grape, Watermelon, and Honeydew (all TFA) with a bit of Koolada and Menthol. Kerpow, so tasty.

It's very easy to fiddle with the Kraken, yes... I play with it every hour or two just for fun and to see what happens. I also love how easily it can keep up with my chain vaping... I stuck a single coil in there and dropped an extra piece of cotton down the second wick hole, and brought it around so that it's just barely touching the outside of the coil... that keeps it wicking like a dual coil setup without burning through twice the juice like a dual coil does. The air flow control is a thing of beauty... the way it works is, there's a hole on the top cap on either side (aligned with the wick holes) but underneath that is another piece of steel with various cutouts (you can see it very well in Mark Todd's Kraken vid). To adjust it, you just rotate the top edge of the top cap. That way, instead of having to pick a hole size, you can dial it in to *exactly* how you like it... as well as closing off one of the holes entirely if you're running a single coil.

I love the versatility of it... I've filled the tank, of course, but if I want to drip something instead, I can do that too. My little 510 testing atty has been lonely since I got this thing.

Ok, I am all over the place here but you have sold me. I am going to get a Kraken and consider a Russian/Kayfun in a couple months. No need for it right now. You should definitely consider an IGO of some sort, I switch flavors up constantly on it. One of the great things about dripping is being able to change flavors on the fly if you want. I have some old 510 atties, but no clue where they even are since getting into RDAs.

good morning, noon, afternoon MBVers! I hope every one is enjoying their Friday Eve.

+1 for the entire series of IGO atomizers, except for the IGO-F it is cool because it is small and ego I just do not get the 1 mil tank on an RBA, I guess it is just a deep drip well :)

I started with the IGO atomizers and got a feel for how close I like a wick to an air hole as well as where I want to be as far as resistance goes on different mods. Yeah I know it shouldn't make a difference, I will let you try but I lost that argument with my self. From there I went to RSST and AGA-T2 the same day. IMO as long as you have watched the vids and done your reading they are equally as easy to build on and cheap. I think the AGA-T2 wins because of the glass tank. It can usually be had for less than an RSST.
I like my Kracken clone, I do not like dual coil/wick genesis atomizer juice consumption. I get good flavor and vapor from one coil/wick that is well done, I see no need to turn 10 to 15 mils a day of vaping into 15 to 30 mils a day.
Now we get to it, I like the Kayfun style the best, the clones are good with the best clone being the R91 which I like better than my real deal. Of all them I like R91>KFL+>other clones of the series. The R91 and the real deal have their juice channels cut a smidge deeper, they wick a smidge better. They are easy to build on and provided you have done your learning on dripping atties you know where you like your coil to be in relation to the air hole.

Literally vaping my last few vapes of Hawk Sauce and letting the sweet flavor of Sticky bun alleviate my distress.

Best freebie yet! Ordered over $100 from MBV this past week... in the package was a 50ml of Toasted Almond, blended 8/13. Yep 50ml Pre-steeped for months. Awwww yeeeeah! Of course, this delays a new order by about a month or so, but it also secures a customer. In my order was 60ml of juice, and to get 50ml as a freebie is very impressive.

Thank you MBV.

I have some old 510 atties, but no clue where they even are since getting into RDAs.

I'm sure you'll like it. It was definitely built for people like us who like to be able to adjust *everything*, but it's *so* easy to just stick a coil in it and not have to mess with it at all, too. Perfect for me, because I love to tinker but there are days when my fingers just can't handle fine work, so on a good day I can mess around to my heart's content, and on a bad day, I can just pick it up and vape.

The IGO variants are definitely on my list to pick up some day. The only reason I didn't start there is because of the aforementioned variable abilities of my fingers from day to day... I like dripping, but there are days when doing so results in more juice on me than in the atty, so I run into the issue of liking a nice deep drip well so I don't have to physically drip the juice as often, but *not* liking a deep drip well because the larger that lip, the harder it is to get my fingers in there when I'm trying to actually put a coil in. I've messed around with other stuff enough to know that an RBA with a tank (genesis or otherwise) is kind of the best of both worlds for me - nice flat deck so I have room to work, but the option of filling a tank up so that on a bad day I can just fill it and be done messing with juice for a while.

But I do really like the IGOs in terms of a straight dripping setup, so I'll be picking one up eventually for those good days when I trust myself to drip for an extended period without ending up with juice all over the place. :D

What are these 'chores' you speak of. I deny all knowledge of the meaning of the word chores in a feeble attempt to get out of them. :p never works though.

Oh man, that's badass on their part. I love that Toasted Almond. Mix it with some Toasted Marshmallow if you got any. 50/50 mix of those two is amazing. I'm guessing you picked up some hardware as well to get over that $100 mark.

I usually try something like "Honey I can not do my chores tonight it is my leg. What's wrong with your leg dear? I have a bone in it."

For some reason it never works.

Can you say Russian 91%? Yep. They have them in stock. I kept my mouf shut til mine shipped, because everyone else is out of stock..

I am currently vaping the last of my toasted marshmallow... I blend it 50/50 with cherry... I call it "RUN TMC" for 'Toasted Marshmallow Cherry'

They are the wicked design of some evil agent devised to keep us busy and toiling away versus sitting around thinking about how much better things could be and just how much 'chores' suck. Some call them 'careers', which usually means they went to school to learn how to do said 'chores' and will most likely do them until they are too old to really appreciate the fruits of their labors. Others call them 'jobs' and those people most likely went straight to doing 'chores' without any schooling and lots bounce from 'job' to 'job' in their lives, while some are so good at their 'chores' at their 'job' that they are given more money (the only reason ANYBODY does their 'chores') to do more and more until they, too, end up just like the 'career' people. Then there are those who do just enough 'chores' to get by. I could go on, but I'm afraid I may insult some people's sensibilities if I do. All in good fun, I'm really not THAT serious minded.

So, is this official? Buy a R91, get 50ml of fine, aged MBV?

I love that name, btw. You need to wear a fat gold chain, some 'Buddy Holly' frames, and a Kangol when you vape that stuff.

And you think I don't? My Adidas (Shell toes, of course), Donkey rope, Gazelles and fuzzy angora Kangol. Boom! Vaping like an OG.

As for any 'official' freebies, I can't say.. it's just what came with mine. I have had large orders come with the standard 15ml size of flavors that sucked... so, it's just the luck of the draw... but this freebie with this RBA was a match made in heaven. Currently wrapping a coil for it now! 10 wraps of 30ga... shooting for the 2 ohm mark to go on my APVs.

Slight flaw in your evil master plan... we've been talking about those being in stock for days now... maybe over a week? Hard to tell in this thread. Time loses it's own track in here. :p
