I'm wondering if a carto tank would be okay? I have one, I much prefer my ViVi Novas though!

It might mean you will have to replace the carto fairly often if the coils get gunked up.

I have a friend who's sending me a Genny style atomizer that uses mesh. He's going to teach me how to make coils through Skype and emails. I just hope I can get it. It can't be that hard right lol?

FWIW, I have tried a couple of ways of doing the coil/wick. I found that the Petar K method (or drill bit method) makes it easier for a noob. There are several threads and videos to help. I found it most helpful to watch someone do it first. With the Petar K method, you wrap the coil around a round rod (like a drill bit) and install it. Then, you put the wick into that coil - the coil is perfectly round, no hot spots. It's almost cheating. The original method was to wrap the coil around the wick you had already made, which was more difficult to finesse. Good Luck with it!

i actually ordered their hawaiian punch and mango. prices are very good, but i honestly.. the juice tasted like crap.. mabe i jus ordered the wrong ones..

Did you steep the juice? MBV mixes your juice when you order it, so it might be too fresh and not fully combined. Try giving it a week's steep (shake, remove the cap and dripper overnight, cap back on, shake like crazy, rinse, repeat). I haven't tried the flavors you purchased, but steeping might help you out.

Yes, well, it took me many hours of video-watching, reading, and an in-person tutorial. We all have our paces for learning
...And RBAs don't talk back

As Stoneface said.... steep, my friend. Let them sit for a little while. Some flavors are vapable out of the box, but most require a week or more to come into their own. Of these that require steeping, quite a few are unvapable at first, but get really nice in time. Maple pecan was like that for me. The ones that have a stronger perfumy or alcohol smell when you first open them are the ones that require heavier steeping and more time with the lid off to allow the alcohols to evaporate, leaving the goody goody flavor behind.

Patience, Daniel-san!

I haven't tried mango but the Hawaiian punch was horrible for about 2 months. After that its good.
Try butterscotch, cinnamon roll, or moo juice or blue moo I bet you like those

Maybe it would help to add a little pure grain alcohol or distilled water? I don't know for sure, I'm not a tobacco vaper.

do not feel alone when it comes to the Greek speak - I may have started to quit smoking, decided to keep vaping because I like it and be obsessive with the amount of juice and gear I HAD to have but - I don't have any desire to get into the guts of vape gear. It would be nice if there was a hover feature for acronyms for those of us that don't go traipsing around in the gadget threads.

I was with you until the FDApocalypse started looming. It is the only reason why I started looking at the guts of the gear. However, it is more rewarding than I thought it would be. ECF is pretty good about the acronyms, but they are obviously behind in some of them. It probably also doesn't help that there are dripping RBAs and tank RBAs, with more acronyms popping up daily.

I just read your response, Stoneface, and it was excellent! Great advice without being too didactic. Kudos to you!

Has anyone tried "pie crust"?

 

[cbfairbanks]

OK, so the Hawk Sauce has steeped for a little over a week. It is 50/50 with 0mg nic (It was a freebie and my SO vapes 0mg). I love the berry with the cool finish. Slightly sour, but I think that is more from the berry flavor than any actual sour flavoring. I'm not sure if it would be an ADV, but I did mix it with some Sour Melon (50/50, 18mg nic) at about 75% Sour Melon and 25% Hawk Sauce, and the flavors complemented each other very well. In fact, it is now in regular rotation with my Brandy/Sweet Cream mix.

FYI- I use 0mg nic juice to cut my 18mg juice as I step down my nic intake, so I always have some 0mg nic juice in various flavors around for that purpose.
