I can't stand RBAs. I use Cisco atties from Avid. I really want an AMP tank, but they are perpetually oos.

I use the Cisco Aeros and the Cisco bridgeless. The COV Hybrid 510 atties are good, too. So are the Vapage AMG atties.

Shatner, they've been available for the last few days. I ordered one last week and it should arrive any minute now.

I just discovered that one of my local vendors stocks the Ebaron Dripper range. I can't remember if any of our NETizens have tried it. Worth the money? Better than Phoenix or Igo? RPad? Bueller? Bueller? :laugh:

The eBaron Dripper Pro has been my favorite JDS for the last two months. You get the flavor of dripping, full rebuilding if you want it, and rebuilding-for-dummies (i.e. me) if you don't. The construction is top notch and the draw is tighter than other RDAs I've used -- something I really enjoy.

The con for rebuilding is that it uses NR wire, which some people find difficult to work with. What I've been doing is buying CE2 ceramic cups off of eBay and pre-built NR wire/wicks from Avid Vaper. It's fairly inexpensive and makes replacing coils/cups easy as pie.

Edit: Special thanks for using the term NETizens, Khaleesi!

Just got back from meeting up with Tez at The Vapor-Mart. Obviously it was fantastic meeting Tez IRL, hanging out, and chatting like good vaping nerds. He let me try his stash of Ahlusion Desperado, Smokin' Cherries, Maple Burley, Caribbean Blend, and Cocoa Blend, while leaving me some Sweet Georgia Peach and Smokin' Cherries to bring home. That was completely awesome. Desperado was very tasty and something I will order in the future. The aromatics were great, as I expected. Also as expected, I didn't enjoy Caribbean Blend as much as the others. Cocoa Blend surprised me and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

On the hardware side, I vaped a long stretch with Tez's GG. It's a gorgeous device. I also tried his Spheroid. After using it, it switched from "really, really want" to "must have!!!" It's beautiful, produces fantastic flavor, and has a very satisfying draw.

Big thanks to Tez and props to Vapor-Mart Brian for letting us hang out in the back while we used hardware and vaped e-liquids that he doesn't carry. Ha! Of course we made purchases as a thank you, but were surprised by a very generous discount.

Cocoa Blend -- like Maple, Cherries and Peach -- has tobacco perfectly matched in flavor to its non-tobacco flavor element. When it comes down to it, I'm not sure which I'd pick if I could only have one. Each one I've tried seemed at first better than the one before. But really they're all done equally well. As for the flavor in question, cocoa is not chocolate. It's a grown-up flavor. It doesn't taste like a candy bar.

Have you tried building it without the NR wire? Busardo rebuilt it with just resistance wire in his review video.

Hmmm, difficult to work with in what way? It's different from the Kanthal I use for my normal RBAs?

I've planned on trying that aro last. Chocolate/cocoa flavors haven't really worked for me, but other than my Frankenjuiced Chocolate Dog (Devil Dog and Chocolate Cream) I don't remember buying a chocobacco.

I know what you mean. But Ahlusion's chocolates, especially the very dark ones in Cherry Midnight and Orange Nocturne, are amazing. And anyhow, that's another discussion, because cocoa isn't chocolate!

I have not. I'm curious to see where he puts the end of the wire that comes out of the cup. Right now, the NR end rests on top of the rubber grommet above the base. Obviously you don't want heat going there. I'll check it out.

Some people have difficulty fusing the NR wire to the resistance wire. Just looking at the process, it's something I believe I would mess up. Ha!

Just received a couple of NET flavors from myvapejuice so I could make an attempt at DIY- anyone have experience with these flavors at all?
I got:
My Hero Tobacco - Vanilla Blend DIY Flavor Extract
Savage Tobacco - Original DIY Flavor Extract

Reviews seem good, just thought I would ask my fellow NET fans for their thoughts!

Today's vapemail has some Ahlusion NETs and non-NETs, an AMP Tank specifically for NET purposes, and an Edz Modz Stainless Steel Avenger. This is quite possibly my best vapemail day ever. Am happy.

Several people have tried the retail juices but I think Bill is the only one who has worked with the DIY extracts.

Figures; I don't have the funds to buy one. Well, I do. But I shouldn't right now. :( Someone want to be super awesome and buy one for me? I can pay you back June 3rd. Just kidding. Kind of. :blush:

Surely I'm not the only one. (and don't call me Shirley... LOL).

Here are the MVJ extracts I have. I've made DIY mixes with the first seven, but not yet with the remaining two (marked with an *) that I got only two weeks ago:

My Hero Original
My Hero Vanilla
Rogue Original
Savage Cocoa
Wicked Wench Original
Wicked Wench Bangin' Butterscotch
Wicked Wench Maple Brown Sugar

Country Squire Original*
Dark Burley Single Leaf*

Happy for two reasons right now:

1) Discovered, in the back of my DIY cupboard, a tobacco extract I'd forgotten I'd made: McClelland Colombian Mocha. Holy jeebus this is great. Barely detectable acccents of cocoa and coffee atop a Virginia tobacco best described as "spiky". I might add a drop of my Imix coffee flavoring to bring out more of the mocha.

2) I won't have to change my avatar for another week at least. :)

The other juices are Gold Rising, Cherry Cola, Vecchio Blend, and Peach River Tree Blend.

I'm going to ease into the AMP Tank with a cheapie Joyetech atomizer. Once I start getting the hang of manipulating air pressure and juice flow, it will graduate to an Empire Mods atty. When I've (hopefully) mastered it, it'll get an HH357.
