FYI 50% flash sale Ahlusion today 12:30-1:00 PM EST.

Thanks for this. I will tiptoe into this sale. I need to replenish my W&A Sassy, I will buckle and get another Maple Burley if available, and based on a few recommendations I am finally going to try Vecchio.

I might even tickle the Blue Fairy

As a longtime professional critic, I rarely give perfect scores to anything. Generally speaking, I hate review scores and loathe when outlets use 100-point scales. People like scores and are accustomed to seeing them, but I don't think they're particularly useful. This is especially true when talking about extremely subjective things like food, drinks, and e-liquids.

On a NET note, here's the Moonshine Brew photo I said I'd post. The glass jugs totally crack me up.

Try them already.. I'm due to meet with Hendo in the next week or so, and would love to have feedback. :)

My Magma is out for delivery! Where is that darned mailman?

Probably taking the longest and slowest route to your neighbourhood. It happens to me too.. Out for delivery as of 8 something in the morning and I hardly if ever receive my packages before 2 or 2:30pm.

Pre-build the coils to occupy your time. :)

Not sure why, but they look like a little line-up of Cossacks.

Literally half of my Kanger heads died today. They came apart right were the resistant and non resistant legs are soldered. I guess two months was a good run The sucktastic part is that I now only have three for my beach trip next weekend. I may need to order some more and hope theyake it in time. I don't want to carry rewicking supplies with me.

For my tastes, I strongly disagree with this. I have actually spent more time with the RBFS juices than probably any other juices out there because I respect them and I WANT to love them. They are all light in the loafers on flavor for me, every single one. My Pirate's is almost bland. Porch Rocker is delightful, but in no way knocks me out. If I had the option I would order it with extra extract. I think the ratio of tobaccos he blended is really, really sublime and I love his subtle signature of an extra pinch of that most excellent and clean perique. However I like the "authentic smoking experience" and this very clean and well though out juice is not that. I finally decided after almost 3 months of respecting, but being disappointed by the RBFS juices time after time after time that they are not a reorder for me, but one that I would recommend (despite price) to many others I know.

I do however plan on trying the KillrY4 and Count Caramel. I continue to respect this juice line a lot despite a less than robust flavor profile and I am really curious about those two offerings

I have an older bottle of Count Carmel. The caramel is good. However, as you have stated, the tobacco flavor is a bit to weak for me and possibly you B.J.

My mail never gets out here to the stick much before 2:30-3:00 bit it doesn't leave the ppst office til about 11 for delivery.

I agree about the Count Caramel - it is a nice flavor but could use more umph. Technical term there. I have coils ready to go, worked on them last night when I saw the Magma was in Jacksonville (FL). Usually here the next day. Well, usually...

PS it arrived!

For all intents and purposes I think they do. I save a pipe full of each tobacco I extract and smoking it is far less flavorful than vaping it. Some of them ( I'm looking at you Tatiana.) even come with an extra flavor shot. :vapor:

execrators = ::ohmy: In the immortal words of George Hamilton, " I don't smoke sh**. "
extractors :vapor:


In the back of my mind, constantly since I started reading this thread, is the wish that one tobacco company starts developing a tobacco line, for the billion dollar vaping world. This line of tobacco would finally translate into what we execrators/vapers would experience in our mods, not what goes up in smoke with various analogs. :thumbs: :vapor:

If you want them quick try Stormy's. Price is high but they're in the States and ship quick.

What coils have you got built for it? Single or dual? What ohms? What juice are you going to try first in it? :)

Built my new Magma with a 1.8Ω single coil, wicked with KGD. Cracked open my new bottle (10 days steeping) of Cherry Wild Wood. New flavor for me, but I love the other Wild Woods. OMG!! The flavor this thing delivers about knocked my socks off, and I am not wearing any socks!!!!! Gonna take time to learn how to hit off this thing, made myself cough that first hit and I am only at 7.5 watts on a Vamo V5. But I am a very fast learner, so no worries. Playing with air flow control and such, this thing is a force of nature!! Now I can't wait to try other flavors in this. Darn, I'm gonna get spoiled!

I normally travel too much to make this practical to use all the time, but gosh darn, when I am home... heaven!

HA!! Standard first impression after being Magmatized.. :)

I've actually started looking forward to my time with the Magmas in the evening. Never been much of a dripper but this RDA has sure changed that game for me.

You gotta try it with duals at some point. Duals at around .7 - .8 ohm, nothing crazy, and on a Mech mod.

Heads-up! Find a low nic juice if you're going to lung hit that thing with dual coils and the air holes wide open, unless you want to be walking around in a daze hacking your head off.

That was my experience anyway, but then, I'm a lightweight when it comes to some of this stuff. :D
