Strange about the T3 though: After I posted that last comment, I had given it a quick rinse to get the Twisted tobacco out completely before I put the Red Pirate in. Maybe I got some water where I shouldn't have but now it is making a "squeaky" noise and giving a little bit of gurgle. I shall have to ask for cleaning advice. Still works though, and the Pirate is as yummy as it ever was. 1ml down, 1 to go.

There is a small white plastic o-ring type seal where the top post of the coil slides into the draw tube. Turn the T3 upside-down, remove the coil and see if that small white ring has slipped up onto the side of the drawtube. This happens, especially if you've inverted that seal for a better draw. Using a toothpick is how I usually get mine off of the drawtube so I can reset it in place.....:2c:

Pawpaw, you are correct! It had indeed slipped. Back to the long luxurious draw I am growing to like so very much.

I am loving The Plume Room. Honey Fig is battling for second place with Ramaglia's Toscano. It is definitely figgy and honeyish with a nice pop of tobacco. Candied Cavendish is still at the top though. I could vape this all day, if I were inclined to vape anything all day, which I'm not :) I think a repeat purchase if she has any Black Friday coupons is a distinct possibility.

I bolded my temptations.

I have three T3's going, so much so it's hard for my overworked Twists (2) to keep up ! I really enjoy mine, just wanted you to keep enjoying yours, and happy if I might have helped in any way.

I love the stuff I have from W2V and HHV, but the difference between the two is dramatic. Here is an analogy coming from an avid coffee drinker who home-roast his own single origin coffee. W2V is like a cup of full city roast coffee out of a french press, and HHV is like a vanilla latte or mocha cappuccino... They are both good in their own right, but I only drink a flavored latte/cappuccino at certain times, while I drink coffee all the time. Both of them can be great, if made with good, well roasted beans... And both have coffee (NET) as the main ingredient, but one taste like only coffee, and in the other the coffee plays a second fiddle to the creamy, sweet, frothed milk and flavoring...

(Semi-Off-topic)
As a fellow home roaster---I started out seven years ago with a popper, but I've had a Behmor 1600 dedicated drum roaster for the past four years---I love your analogy. (And I agree about the differences between W2V and HHV, by the way. HHV Dark Horse and Huntsman might not quite fit the analogy, but Gandalf, Dragon's Fire, and Oompa are definitely Big-Gulp flavored lattes---mostly syrups and steamed milk---whereas none of w2v's tobaccos ever strays further from straight-up espresso than a simple 3-ounce cappuccino with just a dollop of foamed milk on top.)

Yeah, baby, single-origins all the way! I do blend sometimes for espresso, but always post-roast. My Baratza Vario and ExpoBar Brewtus II double-boiler are as essential to my happiness as my vaping gear. Espresso and vaping are my two "delivery-systems" of choice for you-know-what (can't mention the word on ECF, but it begins with "D").

You guys are both right of course, but I would point out that, unlike the W2V juice, the HHV juice won't eat the cup you put it in. :)

Can't argue with that, but roasting your own coffee requires time and maintenance vs. buying a pre-ground bag or cup of joe at the local starbucks/dunkin' donuts, so cleaning my clearo or atty every 5ml or so is not that big a problem... If the end result is worth it ;)

Still off topic, but are you watching "Dangerous Grounds" Bill? It's very entertaining.

I would love to chat about this with you sometime...

I still use a popper, because I like the level of control. And I agree about mixing after roast, I do melange some blends, like home made mocha-java (beans from sumatra and the yemen areas, not cocoa flavored, hehe) and others with a slight bit of Kenyan to add brightness.

Hit me up if you want to talk trash about coffee... Peace.

Haven't seen it. I do allow myself to be co-opted sometimes by The Food Network, but I forget to check out The Travel Channel.

Trick Question of the Day: What is the PRODUCT of television as an industry? If you answer "TV shows," you're wrong. The correct answer is: Viewer eyeballs. TV shows, whatever they might be, are simply the bait on the hook to lure, catch, and capture viewers (i.e., "consumers"), who are then sold by the networks to advertisers, at prices that depend on the number of viewers and their demographic breakdown. Production companies that make television shows are the equivalent of worm farmers. They just sell bait to the network fishing trawlers to catch more viewers. In other words, we are the product of television.

I think you and Skinnie might enjoy it - it's a chap who goes hunts down coffee beans for his business - but of course a lot of the world's greatest places for coffee harvests are also the world's most dangerous places. He's quite a character.

I like you. :)

We are simply, in industry terms, "impressions". We are judged in batches of thousands (CPMs), and priced that way too!

It seems you're really diggin on The Plume Room's NET offerings. I'm definitely gonna have to try them. Have you tried the Honey Fig?

That stuff is not Honey Fig.

It's Honey FIG!!!

Very strong fig flavor.

I mean, wow. Let it steep for a few weeks and it's a pretty good vape-
if that is your thing. The fig gets outta your face a little and mellows into
a nice relaxing vape.

It's not an every day vape for me, but it's a nice, relaxing evening vape
from time to time.

I recommend it with a hunk of pie crust and a glass of milk ;)

Okay, that's it. Only one Black Friday purchase from me, and it will be some Plume Room juices. I can have eat eaten myself sick on figs. Add some tobacco in there? Sold.

You won't regret it.


I can confirm that eating yourself sick on figs has digestive consequences that can most politely be termed "unfortunate".
