My aspire heads clog rather quick with nets. I'm less than impressed. They work great, or not at all. Meanwhile my evod/protank heads rebuilt with 28ga 1.2ohm kanthal are absolute beasts. The aspires are next to impossible to rebuild,which was enough to bother me by itself... The real thing I hate about mine (nova style glass tank) though is there's no holes on the sides to cover up when dry pulling. Without them its really hard to fix a dry hit.

to answer your question though Vita Bella is not very hard on coils

Funny Story:

My ecig is a 18350 caravela clone which I vape on my lunch break in my car while listening to sports talk radio. Apparently another worker thought it was something else. Rumors spread I'm smoking a :censored: pipe to the point my boss had to embarrassingly ask about my :censored: pipe habit. He and everyone at work that knows me laughed hysterically as I'd be the last one with :censored:.

Nice, funny story :)

I also vape in my car in parking lots sometimes.. . I always wonder if one day cops will be knocking on my windows, and ask me what I'm doing :)
 
I also enjoy a genuine tobacco flavor. I still had a number of cigars from my analog days. I shredded them into small pieces and steeped them in purified water for several days. I then filtered them through a strainer and coffee filter (not every coffee filter works well - the cheap ones are more porous and work better, and strain the liquid when warm) then boil off the excess water in a pan on the stove to provide a concentrated extract. I use it for flavoring and it seems to provide the right flavor.

There is a local cigar shop near me, and I asked the owner what they did with the stale cigars. He advised they break them up into pieces and throw them away. I told him what I was doing and asked if he would save some for me, and he said he would. We'll see if he actually does, which would be a continuous source.

Been wondering about the new ones at MOV too, but I'm kindof on the fence. Would really appreciate a little guidance here.

I've tried both the net and synth version of the ry4... Loved the former, hated the later. To me, the synth version tasted like perfume. Also noticed the same for the 555.

So now I see the synth's have been reformulated.. For those of you who have tried them, are they drastically different than the previous version, or just slightly different? I'm trying to gauge whether or not they would still come across as tasting perfumey to me.

Luce was graced with some free review samples (3), and his reviews are in the General Eliquid Review section as of 12-14-2013. Hopefully Dusty_D will receive his order and have time to sample them this coming week.

Thanks. Found The reviews and subscribed to the forum. Read some reviews on Mt Baker Vapor juices tho they didn't pique any interest.

Last week I wanted to see what would happen if I braided 3 strands of 31ga Kanthal. I gave up quick lol, but since I had 3 long wires clamped down I decided to twist them up. Had never planned on messing around with twisted wire, but Bill's NET juices are tasting pretty damn good on this..

Jerms, what is this setup, is it RDA or RBA? I'm curious how/where the wick gets the juice.

BTW, the coil looks like a piece of Da Vinci work :)

:)

It a dripper, and ERA clone. Also known as Phoenix V4, Smok Mini RDA, Squid, Cutie, Cheapie, etc..

Holds about 12 drops initial fill, 6 to 8 drops when redripping. Coil is close to the deck because that's where the air hole on the side is. When I set my mod down vertical, the coil is in a small pool of juice, and when vaped the coil is raised out of the juice, so not much wicking going on. Each vape is like a freshly squonked/dripped hit, so fully saturated and full of flavor.

Checked the status of my MOV order this morning, and it showed as being delivered on Friday evening.. 1/2 hour after I checked my mailbox. :shock:

The mail person normally comes around 4pm or so, but on Friday they came at close to 7pm. :facepalm:

Oh well, juices collected and are now thawing from sitting in my mailbox over the weekend in -20C temps!!

Do I need to air out the Arti's before trying them?

Juices, whether NET or not... will vary so it will depend on the specific one and your own preferences. In fact, cooking is simlar... some needs to let the flavors marry in order to taste their best... others not so much.

In fact... I just got in an arti from Juice Mafia that get's good reviews in general and was mentioned here just a bit back. It tastes a little off to me so I'll set it aside and try it again later. Of course, it may be that I'm spoiled by NET's... only time can tell.

Dude! That sucks. They should be good to go, no airing out needed. Hopefully the long deep freeze doesn't effect the juice though.

(You spelt -20C wrong. You mean -3F. 253 Kelvin is also acceptable.)

-20 has more impact than -3. Also, C comes before F in the alphabet so is better too. :p
