i wrapped the coil around the wick. it may have been too tight, i might have left too much hanging out on the side. i put a pin through the wick to wrap it, but i'm thinking i may just try wrapping around the wick without it. it's 1 less piece to mess with.

Yeah, well the pin should have given the wick a little more room but those darn things are so small, I will really need to get one of those darn magnifiers with the light on them to do to many, not so bad on rba's as you have more room to work with, but I am not a big dripping fan, I find it great for testing juices out but it's just not something I care to really sit and do, I am also not all that interested in the big ole show off clouds that I see a lot of Sub Ohm people like to do. I'm in it for keeping me from analogs and flavor, some vapor is great, but I have no need nor desire to become a damn Volcano spewing out huge volumes of clouds! lol

Adding unflavored should help, but finding the balance will be the difficult part. I would start smaller than you think you will need and then carefully add more until you get something good. You will likely need to steep a little, but you will not need to steep nearly as long as a new bottle of juice. The most important thing, IMO, is to shake/mix it really well. Good luck and let us know if it works out for you :)

Man, the more threads I find to follow the further behind I get. Anyway, the main juices that I needed to dilute with the unflavored nic were Butterscotch from MBV, and CSL from er, uh, someplace else. Neither one tasted good to me with all the extra shots that I got, which surprised me because of all the glowing reviews. Well, I mixed them about 4 to 1 flavored to unflavored and they now taste great. I still need to tweak the MBV Caramel Candy a bit to make it good to my tastebuds.

BTW, I'm rockin' my mix of Almond Delight and Sticky Bun every day in rotation with a variety of other flavs, and lovin that blend.

i agree, i had a hard time seeing everything. i may try it with the pin on the outside, just to wrap the wick looser.

but i'm trying to decide which one of these "helping hands" to get:

TEKTON 7521 Helping Hand with Magnifier - Amazon.com

Amazon.com: SE MZ101B Helping Hands with Magnifying Glass: Home Improvement

i'm considering dripping for testing, but if i do i'll just get some cheapos that i can chuck. (unless i figure rebuilding coils rather quickly)

That's exactly what I was looking at on eBay, but not sure if it's going to really be big enough, one of those that clamp onto the desk that have the light ring around it would be better, but I when I get back to work I am going to get one of the helping hands one, I was more concerned that the thing wouldn't be stable, but saw that the base is cast iron so that should be good to hold it in place.

I'm in that same boat as you are Joie. I'm seriously considering this one since it's small and is at a good price since you get 5 clearos with the kit and free shipping to boot ...it ships from China so plan on around 1-2 weeks before it arrives in your mailbox (my only order from them only took a week though) .

https://www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004594/1383905

And yet another order in. This time Hawk Sauce and Red Licorice flavoring and Surprise Grape and Salacious Strawberry in 15ml bottles.

I thought I had giving them all away with the battery and evods & chargers.

Someone gave me one of those for X-Mas a few years ago and I can't find it.
I need a few things from Amazon so free shipping makes $5-$8 pretty damn cheap.
Thanks for the idea and links

Do you pre fire your wire before wrapping? You might want to try cotton before giving up. Peaches and Cream yarn in white can be had at Wal Mart and gives a nice clean taste....just remember you cannot dry burn it. What gauge is your wire and mm on your silica? PM me if you still want to unload it.

No, i hadn't been prefiring the wire. I've seen some vids do it and others not. i think i will try cotton. i feel like my coils LOOK really good, but just taste like poo. its 32 wire and 3 mm silica. i'll hold on to it for now. (i've done a lot of reading and got a lot of help, so i can't give up yet Lol)i'm just frustrated, but ill try try tray again. maybe. lol

I'll have to do a little lookin' again, been using primarily mechanicals as of late, the ProVari is a fabulous PV but well out of the $ range we are lookin' at. I haven't seen the latest variant of the Vamo but it falls into that range, the iTaste MPV and coming soon VTR are box type mods little more like $60 range but no added cost for batteries or a charger. The Sigelei Zmax Mini caught my eye as a gift for my better half. There's others I'm sure but these come to mind...

I really like my mini. it's small, but thick enough to hold perfectly in my hand. i don't use it for daily travel/car though.

Jackfruit doesn't taste like licking a shoe.
I'm not going to lick a shoe to verify but I doubt shoes taste that good.
It's not a top 10 flavor but it's not nasty.

it tastes just like the actual fruit. and its what juicy fruit flavor gum comes from. and yes my fruity juice smells VERY similar, with a hint of gum. jackfruit is, an acquired taste hehe

just fyi....I am choosing to ignore all future references to the "P" word.....just say'n....if peeps don't want share in my excitement I'm cool with that....and I will always vape MBV juices....I'm loyal that way....:p and it wasn't a vacation....I buried my mother's ashes....on the way home I found out a good friend ended her life Monday night....so I am in no mood.....don't mess with the ginger!!

I'M NOT! I so have Roonie provari envy! I tried to read all the pages I missed, but i didn't see, did you end up picking white?

Yes, it sure does suck! Very frustrating when you can't see crap anymore, some of my vision problems stems from medication I take, it makes things very blurry and takes about 3 weeks after stopping it for my eyesight to improve.

The chocolates will take about 3 weeks to mature, the chocolate tobacco may take up to 4 weeks. If you have a UC that can help speed up the process or using hot water baths and leaving the caps off for a day or two and shake them as much as you can, after putting the caps on of course! I know, seems like common sense but I have 1 time picked up a bottle to shake it and forgot to put the cap back on and juice everywhere! lol

I will try the hot water bath, as I don't have an UC. I will also remember (or at least try) to put caps on before I shake. Thanks.

Gotta say, almost all of my mbv juices didnt need much steep time. Im coming from Halo where at least a week and a half of steep time before even attempting to vape is necessary. This is looking good so far.

i vape mostly mbv. but of the select other juices i vape, i can't even touch my ahlusions for 1-2 weeks, just too harsh on me. whatever mbv uses as its nic base works really well for me. i find most companies juices to have either weird tasting bases, or their harsh or gross.

Hawk Sauce and Thug Juice don't need much time, they're okay right away. The Moos and Strawberry Shortcake, honestly I think they need a month. Can't say on those chocolates but I know S'mores needs a month.
