I have the first two, but no Maraschino Cherry. Maybe I'll try mixing it with peanut butter and maybe some vanilla ice cream.

Oh and vanilla ice cream mixed with 1/3 long-steeped yellow cake is awesome too! Yellow cake took a long time to come to fruition, but now it's pretty spot-on (for yellow cake batter, yum!)

3mls banana cream pie
2mls caramel candy
1ml maraschino cherry
Awesome!!!

Actually, I do have the IGO-L - it came in a trade AND the hole was already drilled out by the previous owner. A friend made a coil for me and it hits like a champ. Prior to that I was working with the Octopus and it left more to be desired. I will watch the GrimmGreen video, however, I don't know if I trust his knowledge after people here criticized his video on rebuilding the EVOD/Protank coil. Apparently, he overlooked a lot. I have been using Snaredrummer's video verbatim as a guide.
Broke down and grabbed an Igo-L in a local shop today for 15.10. Couldn't wait until the octopus got here tomorrow. Used some Kanthal A1 32 and first coil came out a nice 1.5. Blown away by it. Octopus may never get opened. Next step will be to drill the hole a little bit.

Drilling out the hole on the IGO-L is da bomb! Make sure you line up the hole behind the coil for maximum vapor!

I have some kanthal 28, 2 mm silica and a hand drill on the way from Ebay for the Octopus and Squid I have here from MBV.

If you are an expert on creamy MBV flavors Id love to hear some of your recommendations! Creamy seems to be what I love in a vape right now, that rich, yummy mouth feel.

not sure of that expert thing.. I love the creams on their own .. whipped, sweet, bavarian. I'm not a fruit vaper so can't comment on the fruit and cream things.. butterscotch and whipped cream is good

I think I'm getting closer to that elusive buttermint thing.. just butterscotch and candy cane together seem to be the ticket.. the proportions are where I'm at now... and I think I might *need* a little (right.. me ... little) bottle of +1 butterscotch.. candy cane is overstepping its place in this juice.. or my taste buds are tired of this experiment again.

Anyone with those two flavors feeling adventurous? only if you're into the whole buttermint.. after dinner mint thing.

Finally got around to berry treat. Anyone else feel like its similar to hawk sauce? The tartness I thought was from the hawk sauce I had in my aga t+ before. With both I get tart on inhale and a different flavor on exhale.

I'm not sure my throat loves the tartness but its enjoyable. Maybe ill drop some fruity hoops or pineapple peach when the tank gets lower. Or vanilla cupcake... I can't decide.

I should try drilling out the hole. Well once I get the issue of cotton always leaving a taste in my igo. I love the vapor but the flavor is a little off.

Between the igo L and the aga T+ I don't feel a need to order the protank 2. But I probably will anyways.

I'm really tempted to get the Protank 2, but I'd like to see if there are any bugs first. I'm concerned about that "replaceable tank" - will there be leaking or o-ring issues? I do wish I could use my special drip tips on a protank though.

Congrats!! You will be so glad you ordered :)
Try them all.. If they aren't perfection then try some speed steeping. Cinnamon roll should be good, it only gets better with time. Root beer was pretty good too when my package arrived.
When you get butterscotch you are in for it. When I tasted it I fell in love. It's my absolute favorite juice..EVER!!!
Okay, vapemail arrived and I tore into it with relish. Haven't tried them all yet as I'm swapping batteries and stuff around as they're charging, but here's my first impressions of the ones I've tried:

Black Ice: Wow! I hated menthol analogs, but this berry/mint/menthol flavor is very tasty and refreshing. Really enjoy this one.
Cinnamon Roll: Definite reorder, delicious right from the get-go.
Dark Chocolate: I think this one needs steeping. Not bad, but I'll revisit it later.
Raspberry Lemonade: Tasty and refreshing, but I think it will get better with time too.

I can't imagine the cinnamon roll getting better because it's already awesome - but if it actually gets better after steeping, I can't wait!

I have some 4mm cotton on hand but used my .8mm silica folder iver 4 times. Not sure why I didn't just start out with RDA. Would have saved me a ton of money. Going to have to go get a drill bit here in a little bit. Haven't got an order in for 28 gauge yet, but will, I want to try the micro coil. I did find 32 gauge kanthal a1 for 5.65 for 100 ft though, they were out if stock on 28

I'm back from my timeout! Look out, Gary :D

From the video I watched on the ProTank2, it appears that it will use the same silicone gaskets that the AGA-T2 uses. They work very well, and I haven't had any leaks with my AGA-T2s. That part of it should be fine, but I would still wait to see what else Kanger bungles on the initial roll-out :)

I hope to get to testing some of my new MBV flavors tonight. I haven't done it yet....

Kelli , I have PeanutButter coming in Saturday's Vapemail(per your recommendation:)) .....Does it need to be steeped?

i could not tell you for sure, sweetie....i "power steep" all my juices in my ultrasonic for an hour or two before i ever vape them. so i seldom taste them right out of the package. but if you open the bottle and it smells like skippy or peter pan, it may be good to go :)

has anyone double baggied their juice and thrown it through a dishwasher cycle? Seems that there would be enough water pressure to throw it around some and there is defiantly heat in there - and my dishwasher runs freekin forever..

If your goodies landed on the heating element at the bottom, it would melt any plastic it touched. You could spring a leak from the bottles and make a mess of melted plastic in the process.

We have discussed Salted Caramel - it's fabulous, but a real coil killer. Some of us save it for a carto when we want to use it.

HAs anyone tried the Salted Caramel yet? Very tempting but I'm a bit skeptical. No offense James. I just love me some Salted Caramel Mochas from Starbucks so the bar is pretty high.

^ what they said about being a gunker ^ seems to not kill a coil quite as fast in a top coil device YMMV
