Oh, come on where is your sense of adventure, I'm sure we are all really curious to know if they taste alike or not! :D

Tastes better than my moccasin. Not the same flavor notes.
The Jackfruit is fruity. The moccasin is more...yep...earthy :pervy:



Wow! 80+ posts in the time it takes to watch Breaking Bad.

has anyone gotten root beer lately that actually tastes like root beer? a 4 week steep and nada, bought a new one, and nada???
(somehow i think there's something missing, like koolaada :sneaky:)

anyone use 3mm wicks when they recoil? if so, is it OK to put a little juice on the middle of the wick before you close it up and load up a tank? :?: (which may not technically be a tech, but i don't care)

oh, and i decided that the best frontman for a band happens to be a woman. so i put Johnette Napolitano as my avi...

I've had mine for weeks.....I want to like it but it does nothing for me.....not even a good mixer here. Just ordered butter cream in hopes to get that creamy vape that satisfies....that and vanilla cup cake....maybe they'll be good together. I hear the vanilla custards are hard to get right. Sorry I can't help ya on this one.


what can I mix w/ the vanilla custard to "up" the flavor a little?
Maybe it justs needs to set a bit longer...kinda blahhhh

I use 3mm silica wicks and I do and have no issues at all.

I wanted to try as I have some 3mm threaded ekowool but it seems too thick for a ProTank. What kind of 3mm wick did you use?

Hi Opal,
I've been thinking about you and hoping you've been healing well. You did it up good didn't you? At least you're colorful as you go through the casting part of it! Thanks for the tip on mixing bavarian cream and the custard. I have both and will try that. Maybe it will help. Keep posting when you can.....don't want to miss out on your chance for the big win!!!

I have 3 more weeks of hard cast to just below the elbow - currently halloween orange cast - did have electric pink for a week
Then I get a removable splint/brace for a while...turns out both radius and ulna have fractures <---good word - only needed left hand to type that one





I like it with Bavarian cream - not necessarily up on flavor but a nice combo

My sister sliced off the very tip of her thumb over Thanksgiving and it took a long time to heal....lots of nerve endings there. Hope you heal up fast and have enough cold ones to stave off the pain in the meantime!

Yea, I woke up and said "What the hell did I do to my thumb. . ." then I saw all the scratches on my Igo-W and it came back to me. I should have waited to use the drill press at work, at least I have a story for my marred RDA :)

I use 3mm silica wicks and I do and have no issues at all.

i tried making my first coils last night. i put some juice on the wicks that were sticking out. i let the evod sit for about 15 minutes, still seemed dry. (and i was starting to feel like Xaviera Hollander :ohmy: )

I wanted to try as I have some 3mm threaded ekowool but it seems too thick for a ProTank. What kind of 3mm wick did you use?

3mm silica, seems a wee bit too thick...

I initially tried the 3mm Ekowool and no-go, it fit but is too tight to wick, 2mm works like a champ...

Disclosure:

I vape primarily at 60/40 to 50/50 so no guarantee on thinner juices

i am pondering 2mm silica

my juice is either 50/50 or 80/20

tomorrow, i make my 1st DIY!!! actually 3, and i'm gonna operate on my root beer...

Well, you may want to move the grommet up just a bit more to help with the wicking or use 2mm silica, but putting some juice on the wick before you close it up will not cause any issues, it's possible though that the coil may be wrapped a bit too tight on the wick for it to absorb the juice fast enough. I know quite a few people are using cotton, I built an Evod coil the other night with a piece of cotton pad, but have not tested it yet as I only have 2 Evod and they both are full of juice, but I am thinking that it may not be enough cotton and my flood but I see when I test that coil out. I will say that it was a royal pain to try and pull 3mm wick through the coil, the 1st one I just wrapped on the coil on the wick and it was fine after playing with the coil to get it uniform enough, that is why the 2nd one I tried to pull it through, so when I can which might be sometime off, I will get small silica wicks for the Evod coils.

I sincerely think they were just teasing roonies, everyone loves you here, I know I sure do, whatever you use to vape with is great! All I want is the SVD so I don't have to fiddle with stuff and be able to vape at 8 watts as my eGo are starting to take a lot longer to charge so I am a bit worried about them dying out and the VV/VW that I had gotten is a 510 connection and it's messing up all the time now and no way to fix it. I'm personally happy for you that you can get what you like, doesn't matter what you use as it doesn't change the fact that you are our Roonies! :D
