I just recently got an Igo-L and an Octopus. Both are really easy to re-wick. I got my wick today and I expect some ribbon Kanthal tomorrow. Then I'm going to re-wick them both and an old A7 I have. I'm really tired of having to re-juice the 306's and HH357's every few puffs. Hopefully the taste will not change radically using the Igo types. I have a ton of new juices to try, not to mention my own to test, and the NET concentrates and the........ man this is fun!

Oh, almost forgot. I'm a big Kanger fan. T3's, EVOD's, ProTanks and I just got a Kanger mini T3. Tiny little clearo takes 1.6 ml of juice and puts out clouds of vapor along with fantastic taste. Really a great buy for $6. It actually taste better than any cartomizer I've used including the Fusion.

Boomer...have you ever tried your 357 on a bottom feeder?

El Toro Puros.....:wub: :wub: :wub:

Is that stuff not the absolute living end? I can't get over the high-keyed brilliance of it combined with the noticeable earthy nuttiness. Who was it earlier, who was looking for a NET 555? Even though they aren't called 555 by name, you could do a lot worse than El Toro Cigarillos or to a lesser extent, Puros. Even the eBaron Cigare de Paris, which has been getting a lot of vape-time from me. Strongly almond-flavored medium tobacco. Smells like marzipan in the bottle but tastes scrumptious.

Two things will hopefully come out of this exercise that I'm doing with "TCP's Stash".. I'll learn what's right or wrong for me, without confusing myself too much AND I may learn to pick out the different kinds of tobaccos being used in the juices.

Yesterday was a write-off with it being my wife's and daughter's birthday but hopefully can get back to testing later tonight.

In the meanwhile, I continue to read and be amazed by the wealth of information on here. :)

I've been on a Cigarillos kick this week, and I'm enjoying the change of pace. I've been very itchy for a real smoke and, even though I don't consider 'rillos to be very cig-like, it's doing a great job of keeping the cravings at bay. The first thing I get from it, aside from a serious throat kick, is the well-documented nutty earth. As my palate adjusts and gets saturated, all the other subtleties start to come forth. There's a very subtle sweetness that grabs the tip of my tongue on the draw, and a noticeably fruity undertone on the exhale. I'd never noticed either of those elements in my earlier sessions. Good stuff.

I find the complete opposite. I can taste a lot more subtleties in the BCC's than the atty's. Maybe it's the cool vape? The atty's are a lot warmer due to their shortness.

I use these at work, but not with NET's. I think if you compare a tobacco in a T3/Evod to the same juice in a good dripping atty, you'll notice the huge difference right away. I like bottom feeders, which give me the good atty taste without the mess of dripping. The more subtle elements of the NETs are lost in those clearos.

I'm not sure how that works. I'm not familiar with bottom feeders. I thought those were bottle fed and used in high resistance box mods. How does that work with a 357?

I was high-five'ing myself when I got it! :) It's truly fantastic . Now I have to check out the Cigare de Paris as well. :)

Check out the REO's and VMOD's. I've seen lots of people using their 357's on them and enjoy it very much. The benefits of dripping without the hassle. I can't speak personally to it because I never owned a bottom feeder. Perhaps someday. For now I use a basic dripping RBA.

Yeah TCP does give great mustache rides :D

There's a very subtle sweetness that grabs the tip of my tongue on the draw, and a noticeably fruity undertone on the exhale. I'd never noticed either of those elements in my earlier sessions. Good stuff.

How would you describe that fruity undertone on Cigarillos? I've been bothered in that mine suddenly developed a fruitiness very similar to Eden, and I've been wondering if I accidently put some Eden in it during bottle transfer. That could have happened since I put them in about 10-12ml plastic bottles from the 15ml glass, and had a little left in the glass that I would transfer when there's room. It's been driving me crazy since I'm almost sure I didn't screw it up but I'm tasting Eden when I vape it.

That hasn't been my experience.... While the Evod's and now the ProTank doesn't have quite the flavor that my IGO-L has... they are not far enough off to show much difference to me.

It's kind of non-descript, Jerms. Borderline citrusy, maybe? Perique-esque?

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind next time I vape it. My mind kept going to an Eden mishap since I never heard anyone describe any fruit notes and I didn't get any at first, but maybe some steepy-time brought it out. Thinking back, yes citrusy, and tart maybe.

For what it's worth here is my on the go vaping kit and I love my variety so this set up gives me the best of both words: convenience and a bit of variety.

Each day I leave the house to go to work, out with friends, or anywhere else (except for the car where I take more with the following:

One ego twist with a carto - one liquid for it.
One ego twist with an atomizer - 2 or 3 liquids for it which i just stick in my bag.

I think the key to effectively avoid flavour creep when changing flavours in an atomizer is to use the same type of flavour. So if you are using an atty for tobacco flavour it's okay to change to different tobaccos particularly when they are the same brand (being the same base there are only minor variations in different liquids).

Similarly I will keep fruits with fruits and sweets with sweets. I won't leave the house with one tobacco, one sweet and one fruit for example.

If I need tobacco flavours and some fruits I will take atty's: one for tobacco and one for fruits.

I also take along a USB charger for the office.

I always go for my vape break, or to lunch with both ego twist setups in my pocket, one with the carto and one with the atty. This is why I always favor 650 mah ego twists over 10000 mahs, because my ego twists are primarily a portable mod, for on the go and around the public.

AB

So I've been thinking of switching things up for my "on-the-go" vaping. For years I've used cartos for taking to work and when out and about because of the ease of use and pocket-ability. I like to drip the good stuff at home so I mainly use mints/menthols in my cartos. Sure they would taste better dripping, but I'll never know since I don't drip them. I'll also use cartos to use up juices I don't like so much. From experience in choosing juices the amount I don't care for has been really small for a while, so it's mainly mints/menthols out of the home.

I'm not tired of that, but it is fun to switch things up. I still have about 20ml of Sleighride for carto use. Here's my plan for after that.. Gonna get a big bottle of unflavored nic, probably the best thing to run through cartos for longevity. I'll use that to make smaller bottles with about 5%-10% of a strong tobacco NET to add a little flavor. I figure using NETs that use common cig tobaccos like Buley, Turkish, and Virginia will give the unflavored a hint of real tobacco flavor. Another benifit is it will probably be very close to an actual cig experience, having just a hint of quality tobacco flavor, and when people show an interest and want to try a vape it could give them a positive impression.

Mine tasted good after one month, although it's better as it ages.

I loved VB fresh and steeped. That flavor never transformed as much as it simply became more of what it is supposed to be--it sort of continually folds over onto itself like kneading dough. Speaking of kneading dough, I need some dough! haha


I use these at work, but not with NET's. I think if you compare a tobacco in a T3/Evod to the same juice in a good dripping atty, you'll notice the huge difference right away.

I agree with this statement, but then again, I vape ev'ry thing out of 510 attys!

Got a fresh 30 ml of Blue Grass Burkey today. Nothing compares to this liquid straight out of the mail. Dusty this would be considered my 5 star e-liquid hands down. God I love this stuff!!!!!! This is the best damn eliquid known to man and if you disagree you are wrong, lol. J/k


No buddy, you're wrong! It's Patriot, with BGB coming in a split second behind. But that is in the 400 m sprint, in the 200 dash, BGB wins. :laugh:

Was surfing the forum looking for a natural, strong tasting tobacco ejuice... Guess i got to try this one. Most juices I find to sweet though... Im an (almost) ex-pipe smoker, and love the stronger (english, balkan, latakia) tobacco's. What's the sugar level in the BGB like?

PS. Is it available from an e-shop?

No more or no less than what is in the tobacco itself. I wouldn't consider BGB dry or devoid of sweetness--of course there is some sweetness to the leaf itself--but there is no added sugar or anything like that. A lot of pipe tobaccos do have added sugar, but this juice has a natural level of sweetness that registers, for me, at a 4-5 on a scale from 1-10.
