I have to agree on that....it does seem that the "backwood" areas attract the real cream of the crop though

Banana and peanut butter together is awesome too. Then again,
anything with peanut butter would be great.:vapor:

I was reading something somewhere today and there was mention of Elvis' affinity for the PB&B sandwich (peanut butter and banana). I think you have a name for your blend, if you were looking, of course.

In actual vaping news, been giving an iClear30 I got w/ this 134 a run. Not a fan of clearos anymore, but this thing is pretty nice. Reminds me a lot of a ViVi Nova, although I feel it vapes better and most likely won't be hard to find heads that actually fit it. Definitely looking to recoil this when it gets clogged up. Filled it with some DIY Peach that doesn't reallly have a ton of flavor and am surprised I can actually taste it in this thing. Most clearos I've ever used drastically reduce flavor. Still not sold on the clearos after dripping so long now, and would go to cartos if I had to switch for whatever reason, but it's a pretty fantastic little unit. We'll see how it is performing in a week or so.

I like the smooth, continuous vape you get. I'm clearo-challenged and cannot seem to get the 'rhythm' of priming, tilting, twirling, etc. Once you prime your carto in the tank (fill tank, put on tip, dry vape until you don't see bubbles any more and you notice about half the liquid has disappeared out of the tank) you can just pop the tip off and top off the tank until that cartomizer wears out (from 2 - 7 days depending on the juice, heat and whether or not you got a dud). I love the no fuss vaping. Set it up and Vape away.

P.S. I use the Smoktech Pyrex DCT Carto Tank setup with the flanged Smoktech DCT Pre-drilled Cartomizers.

Thanks, Chaotic, for the layman's description of using a carto/cartotank. I'm going to try them out soon (com'on vapemail!). I want to see what my liquids really taste like.

Regarding clearo's: unless you use a top-coil clearo (ie Vivi), you shouldn't have to worry about tilting and whatnot. I am currently swearing by ProTank II's (bottom coil). I would recommend allowing the liquid to penetrate the wick, though, by letting is sit for a minute before vapin'.

If you have had the filler in cartos mute the flavor of a juice, that can happen with carto tanks as well. I use carto tanks for some juices, primarily the strong ones, because of the filler muting problem. Softer/more delicate flavors can definitely fade when using cartos. I was disappointed when I tried Tidal Wave in a carto tank, and I lost half the flavor of the juice...

You can speed up the wicking process by sucking on the drip tip without hitting the fire button...that should force some liquid into the wicks :)

(Who will be the first to crack a "sucking" joke??? :D)

This is due to the fact that most of the people that live in Florida have come from a good portion of all the other states. I was born here and have watched this happen over all these years.

I shave my head all year until winter. A shaven head during winter here in IL is...unpleasant. I don't have any saffron robes (yet), though they do look comfy as all hell.
I'm always impressed when the monks get together and create a mandala out of colored sand, from memory, without a diagram

Good lookin' out, Stoneface. I haven't tried a carto yet, so I'm completely in for a surprise. If muting occurs a lot with loftier flavors, then I may be a bit upset. I'm primarily vapin' fruity juices. Hawk sauce is thick, but I wouldn't consider it to be a heavy flavor. I guess we'll see...

She's 100% correct, I have seen a few in here

I resemble that remark l)

i love it :) wish more ppl would get into the halloween spirit! View attachment 262605

me! me! I'm there - if it were year round.. I'd still be there

I think I may be up to about 10mls of juice a day EGAD.. my T3 mini's seem to need refilling way more often these days.. like 4-5 of them need topping off every day - and that's not including the full size ones.

I still use my original gear too.. haven't felt the need to go off in mod land.. I'm good with my cig-a-likes - well cigar-a-likes anyway

<-- needs sleep.. nitol
