Can always try
WaToAx.
ATW would work; Alternatives to Tobacco by Walker.
Ygh, that almost sounds like a cologne spray or some kind of business-suit wearing high-class e-juice B&M.
...nevermind... just... stopping that train of thought before it gets out of hand.
This is making me think up new government agency names and acronyms, now.

Trying out MTF's Milan Black Gold again. A little extra steep did it some good. The muddle of flavors is no longer there. At first I got a nice dose of the Maduro cavendish that imparted a cigar like quality over everything. Then the cigar faded and the Burley came through with a bit of black Cavendish. The Virginias are barely there. They seem to be lifting the flavor profile up with a sprinkling of high notes. They aren't readily recognizable as the sweeter VA taste from a VA/Per blend. They just shine some light on the darkness. The chocolate undertones are coming through as being a darker chocolate. They remind me of the dark chocolate on a Clif Builder bars. The coffee comes and goes as a tertiary note.
I give this a thumbs up. After some more steeping this will make a mighty fine night time vape.
Mini PT3 with cotton ball wicks on an Evod battery regulated to 3.7 volts. Resistance around 2.1 - 2.2 ohms.
This is exactly why I don't feel my reviews would do his juice justice.
Mike, you review tobacco like a wine taster reviews wine. Holy moly.
I went ahead and put some of this very juice in my (damaged) KFL wicked with Koh Gen Do cotton (Would you believe, the delrin drip tip I stuck in there actually cracked the MAPP flange at the top? Now, I don't think it's exactly
safe, but I used some Gorilla Tape to re-seat the cracked piece at the top) and I'm going to try and forget your review until I finish what I just put in there.
FWIW; try it with any sort of organic Japanese cotton pads. Amazon has got a ....-ton (an actual unit of measurement, surprisingly) of brands that aren't KGD that would likely work equally as well.
I've tried "bunny ball" wicks and they just...well...suck, compared to the exceedingly-fast-wicking Japanese cotton. Plus side: no cotton taste. Unless you're an idiot like I am and decide to try and use the stuff wrapped around a vertical coil
, in which case you'll be enjoying the taste of cotton (or not, it does kinda taste cardboardyish).
I actually stuck a 1/16 bit in there and rotated the coil back to standard horizontal, and now it doesn't suck. Surprisingly, the wick isn't flooding every time I take a puff. I finally must have done something right, at least.
I'm still going to try my hand at giving this juice a proper review.
I
am waiting on the Plume Veil to show up, but I will need to have a coil ready for it when it arrives or it'll need to wait until the evening for a test fire. Protip: a (clean) toothbrush works great for cleaning off manufacturing dust from the threads of new devices, under hot running water. Obviously you don't want to proceed to brush your teeth with it, unless folks use metal shavings for their toothpaste.
I liked them, but I moved away from 18mg. So, they were of no use to me. I think you'll find them as pleasant occasional vapes at the least.
You're welcome. That is part of why we're here. This is a community of obsess... I mean dedicated folks with a common hobby. We're all just trying to help grow the knowledge base and community. There is a reason several vendors lurk through our neighborhood.
You know, I must be weird or something. I find myself vaping everything from 12-20mg. I guess it just depends on the situation. Less time to vape; higher nic juice. Relaxation time; lower nic juice. Rarely do I get a chance to sit down and vape for more than a few seconds when I'm busy in the daytime.
I suppose you could say this is why I'm looking for a device that can break the 5A barrier; the Vamo only reaches 5A max from what I understand.
A DNA mod is going to hit way higher than that, being that it can output 30W it has to be at least double.
Then again, I found one of these supposed DNA mods with 5600mAh capacity, right? The stupid thing had a built-in
Li-Po battery. I'm not charging one of those things and using it in front of my
face, of all places to use a Li-Po. It belongs in a Li-Po sack.
And then I go and find other ones that take a single 18650 battery; mixed reviews on others; huge price-tags; horrible reviews on others.
It's just so confusing. I just want something I can fire and forget. A bottom feeder would be nice, but you know.... makes me want to say, "why hasn't anyone just invented a multi-feeder that can eject juice through a tube that can be conveniently placed in any spot on a RBA/RDA"?
With the Plume Veil's multi-airhole design, and even with other RBA/RDAs frankly, there are plenty of places for a small tube to feed juice into a spot where the wicks would just get saturated without any bore-holes needed. Even a screw-on mini-ring that was device-specific to feed from the top-down would be kinda neat.
Would be a pain in the .... to develop that, though... people would be popping the tube off when sticking the device in their pockets, moving it around, re-wicking, reaching for it for a vape in the dark (you know you do this), and so on.
....Wait, what was I talking about, again?

Just a 10 ml bottle dusty. I have some weeds in the garden that I need to root out so u can use vita Bella for that as a backup plan
I think Vinegar would do the trick quite nicely. Don't you go killing any more bees than Bayer now, yahear?

If they do, they'll notice if Anthony creates a large Superfund site in his backyard garden. You could then probably make an extract from the soil and get well-steeped Vita Bella from the dirt.

Lately, I have been filtering extracts down to 2.5 microns and can attest that it does help clarify the extract and minimize particulates without compromising flavor. Coils will still gunk although it takes longer, primarily due to sugars cased on the tobacco. Sugar molecules are too small to filter without filtering out flavor molecules.
You know, I think this might be what Clay does with his extracts. I don't really know for certain, but I can definitely tell the difference between his liquids and liquids from other vendors.
Also, when you said this, it reminded me of the review Rip did on the Plume Veil RDA- he said that normally, there was flavor over vapor, or vapor over flavor, but with that device- they were both equal. Honestly, I didn't even see that review until after I ordered the clones, but now I'm really excited.
More OT:
I still figure that larger coils that cover more surface area and generate more heat are the most gunk resistant, at least when twisted- I can confirm that. However, I have no idea how lower gauge Kanthal compares. Rip says it's better than plain lower-gauge kanthal (32AWG triple-twisted) due to the additional surface area- I just know that it's three times as durable due to there being three pieces of kanthal twisted together.
They take longer to heat, and longer to cool, though- something to consider.
Gotta run, made it to page 762; huge thunderstorm just hit outside and power outages do happen here via the large number of lightning strikes.
That's all for now.
