My re-up or Tobacco Pure from Volcano 30ml (<-Like tobacco try this)

Boge XL LR cartos For the Boge F16 tank. I dont see the point in talking about a Carto Tank UNLESS theres something wrong with it, which there isnt. It holds juice 5ml and doesnt leak nice looking and only $6.50 at surevapes good buy if you're looking for an inexpensive tank. Theres also a smaller version (F17) if you find this too big.

Boge LR cartos dont need and explanation either. They are good at wut they do. I bought them to use in the tank and a carto punch. They have the prepunched one available but i wanted to punch my own holes so I got the regular cartos.


The Eon Smoke kit is for a friend. It is being sold (Rapidly!) at my corner store for $16 so I thought I'd try it out for her. She wants to quit smoking and likes the Blu disposables..somewhat but wants a good cigalike (shoulda saw her reaction when she saw my eVic and Zmax. Priceless, last time I spoke to her I had the inferno lol). Anyway she had her sights set on my Halo G6 Kit..no way. So I gladly purchased one for her yesterday and gave it a test run.

To my surprise Its a good little device and the menthol flavor it came with I actually like it. Nice and small as you can see closer to an analog size and the carts can be refilled after you fight a bit to get the hard plastic cap off. Its clear they did not want you refilling but it comes off and you can. HOWEVER in my studies I noticed sumthing, Notice it only comes with a USB adapter no plug. If you charge via pc it works fine like it should BUT if you charge it via Wall plug its soooo much better, much more vapor and a bit more TH. Thanks to my Halo G6 I already knew this thats why i did it to see the performance difference and you can definitely tell the difference. Just a heads up for anyone interested in Eon smoke its a good buy :vapor:

That tank is looking pretty good on that zmax! I know its not the same tank, but I looked the other day to buy a Phoenix Raven and they were sold out. I'm going to keep checking. I ordered a j-tank and a vivi nova from electronicstix. Got my ship notice yesterday, so I should have them and my juice order from Fuzion middle of next week.

So far, I'm digging the Mt Baker Vapor juices. I just loaded the protank with ecto juice, but had been vaping double dutch and peach (from ivape) most of the day.

Yes Im lovin this tank right now been vaping it all day. Seriously though I hevent touched my eVic in like 2days I actually was thinkin about selling it today. Only good that would come from doin that is I would be able to get a Provari alot sooner if I do....but firmware 1.3 coming i heard ...ughhhh choices!!

Mtbakervapor is good stuff indeed. You shoulda told me wut flavors you were lookin into I coulda sent you sum ecto I have like 5 bottles here. We could even do sum trades if interested. But either way I have plenty of MBV laying around dont mind sharing

Just tried to bump your evic sell, but it was closed. Did you sell it? Not interested, sorry, just curious. That didn't stick around too long. The guy at iVape had the mini evic that was completely black (tube and top cap). I asked if he bought the dress up kit, but he said no they just ordered them. Not sure if he meant the dress up kit or black evics, but either way it looked pretty cool.

I also seen you mentioned you weren't a fan of the iClear30. I'm actually using it right now. Honestly, now that I've used a de-wicked Protank, it's not as nice as I thought last week. I haven't been using it lately, but that's only because I got new juices and used empty tanks. Which was the Protank and a couple eVods. I actually de-wicked the evods and I can't say it was a huge difference, but they seem to hit a little better now.

Today I received some vape mail. I got my j-tank, vivi nova, pre punched cartos and a cherry vapes drip tip (orange). The vivi nova and drip tip look sweet on the anyvape. See pic. I haven't used either tank, I haven't even put a carto in the j-tank yet. I want to wait for my fuzion juice to get here, but since I haven't received a ship notice yet, I may not make it.

I placed an order this morning for a bunch of vape dudes juice, one tuff tank and 5 pre punched cartos. Here's the juice list: Naturals RB Dude, Peace ICE, Apple Spice, Apple Bubblegum, Cinnamon Roll, Fruit Tsunami, Grape Bubble Gum, Snicker Dude'L, Strawberry Banana and Thinner Mint. All 10ml with "Extra" flavor, the pg/vg mixture at 50/50 and 6mg nicotine.

The juices that I got from MBV were awesome. The butterscotch was my ADV today. I drained the evod about an hour ago that I filled up this morning. Between me and a friend of mine, the double dutch (chocolate) has been hit hard. The 30ml is at about half, but I hooked him up with about 10mls. The ecto juice is great too. That was yesterday's ADV. I've ventured back to the Tropical Passion from iVape, but only for convenience. I gotta refill a couple tanks. One of which is peach from iVape. I'm really loving this. I've been through a few tanks of it so far. I'll be getting a 30ml of it next time I go to iVape. The bad news... I'm not a fan of the Thug Juice for MBV nor the Chi Tea they threw in as a freebie. The thug juice made me think about the cheap cherry flavored cough drops. They are good, but they don't do crap for your cough, even if you eat the whole box, which I do because they taste like candy. Although, I like them, I still don't like the thug juice. It may be the menthol, but not sure. The chi tea... well lets just say the word "leaves" was used a couple times to describe it. I'm sure its for someone, maybe someone who actually knows what chi tea is, but not me.

Wouldn't be right, if I did it right... next time.:D

Yea Joe, Its still for sale Im gonna throw it back up on the weekend you can bump it then :D ....Turns out I like the vape I get from the Zmax more I dont know wut it is its just better..go figure, plus the fact that it telescopes is very convenient for me With the eVic i have to carry both tubes. Im jus tryin to get my Provari ball rolling ahead of schedule. All the provari's I see on the classies for good prices drives me crazy....Truth be told im probably jus gonna end up gettin it from Provape cus I want the blue LED we'll see.

Yea I did not like the iClear30 I got my main liquids in so I gave it a real run. If we're talking top coil I prefer the Vivi nova ..sumthing is just off with the iClear Vivi nova is just more satisfying. Tighter draw on the Vivi but more flavor.

In other news I ordered my 1st RBA today, The AGA-T2 with some extra SS wick and kanthal ..cant wait for that IM READY!! Also next week Ill be looking for a Mech mod. Then my hunger should be settled...for now

I love the blue led, black mini provari. They are sweet but i dont see me ever pulling the trigger on something that expensive, but you never know.

I didnt wait long with the vivi nova. I filled it with French Toast from the vapor room. Lets just say i disliked it so much i emptied it back into the bottle and into an evod tank. The taste was nasty out of the vivi. If it wasnt burnt tastimg, it kust lacked flavor. Im very disappointed in this tank.

I think im going to be right behind you on yhe RBA. The same one actually. Havent pulled the trigger yet but will probably be soon. Where did you order it from? Also funny youentioned mechanical mods, as i was eyeballing one last night from exhalevapors. Not sayong om buyong one. Theyve just been catching my eye lately. Amy odea which one your thinking about?

I was waiting for the RSST but that thing is sold out everywhere, so figured while everyone is raging over that why not grab this ..it was originally my 1st pick anyway.
AGA-T2 rebuildable atomizer system - Pyrex tank
Coupon code "VKBC" 10% off 27.50 shipped thats really what made me order ..and the fact they ship fast

Thats exactly wut I had in mind for my provari black mini with blue LED. I know there is talk of sum new LED colors soon hopefully by the time Im ready to purchase.

I dont know my vivi nova performs quite well WHEN I tip it but tipping does get annoyin that I dont deny, you should try to break it in some more.

Mechs so far im looking at the rocket
Telescope - The Rocket

Or the smoktech telescope
SMOKtech TELESCOPE Adjustable Mechanical Battery Mod - STAINLESS [gv-SMOKtechTELESCOPE-STNLS] - $54.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Either way I dont plan to spend much on one and it has to telescope. Im leaning towards the Rocket even though its like a half telescope it takes only 18350 & 18650 no 18490's or 500's which is fine by me and the price is more attractive.we'll see. But so far jus those 2 and thats jus a half assed search I didnt really get into it yet.

Another contender http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_273_257&products_id=1439

Also like the smoktech "natural" but not payin that much for a mech

What has sold me on the T2 is the pyrex tank. I don't have many 'bad' juices, but its nice not having to worry about it.

I'm not going to give up on the vivi nova. If nothing else, I'll switch out the head and give it another fresh start. I may have jumped the gun, vaped too soon and burnt the wick. Not sure if that's even possible, but its a thought. I'm not sure what resistance the head was. I do know I was somewhere around 8.5/9 watts. Maybe it got fried...? IDK, kind of thinking in text.

At first, I didn't see the appeal in the telescope, but while discussing different mods with a buddy, I realized how convenient that would be. For me, I either have to carry the same size batteries all day or carry a different size battery with the extra tube. Not having to keep up with that extra tube would be a nice relief. This reminds me, I need a battery case.

I've looked at both The Rocket and the KTS. Nothing serious, but just looked at them while investigating those sites... seeing what they have. Personally, between the two, I too prefer The Rocket. That is based only on looks. I know nothing else about them.

Just tried the iClear again..yea its bad, its gotta go...I tried

in other news its finally time to change the head on my EvoD ..seriously its been over a month. Thats a good product right there.

After doing the group shot (see photo below) I do have a new gripe about the iClear30. It wont stand up on the 510 connection when not on a device, so it has to lay on its side. That kind of bugs me, not sure if its a problem. Hasn't been yet.

Also, I just had my most aggravating experience in ecigs to date... Trying to fill and put together the j-tank. Note: I did watch a few videos on how to fill these, but it didn't matter. I ended up wasting a tank of juice and I'll probably be smelling butterscotch in my kitchen for the next week or so because of my weak attempt at pulling it off. Still not sure where 3/4 of the juice went.

After 15 mins or so, I walked away for a few. Then grabbed a new carto, cleaned everything up and started over. It was still a pain, but didn't take but maybe a minute. I lubed everything up with some flavorless juice (yeah kind of odd, it was a freebie). Although I think the best thing was putting the drip tip on the carto when I tried to align and position the cap. The very end of the tip was a little big, but the cap did slide over it pretty easy. Once I made it past that point, it was real easy and it slid into place. I did fiddle with it a little to get the carto back into the correct spot.

So was all this trouble worth the vape? Absolutely! This thing is beautiful with my orange cherry vapes drip tip. (see picture) It's actually called something else (similar to citrus), but obviously, I don't recall. The hit/taste is just as beautiful as it looks. As for the trouble I went through, I blame it on inexperience. I assume (hope) it will get easier the more I do it. I am a little glad the tuff tank from vape dudes is a submarine type. Although, I'm sure I'll find something that annoys me about it too. I can be like that sometimes. :D

What do you know... a correctly oriented photo. Just seems wrong.
It's a little family photo.

Yes after carrying the tubes of the eVic around and getting the zmax I learned to appreciate the telescope feature. Theres a telescoping body for the eVic but it cost more than the Zmax so F' that.

The mechs I like the rocket too for looks but I like the kts for the gold but i cant find the the body alone in this color just the kit. and i also think im gonna be a side button guy as opposed to the bottom....ehh we'll see as i learned over my lil vaping career ..that can change anytime.
KTS Telescopic Storm X6 APV Electronic Cigarette [KTSAPVKTX6] - $79.99 :

I considered the J tank but went with phiniac instead, The collector in me will probably pick one up sooner or later.

But today I woke up late rushed & left my Zmax home with my FULL new head installed EvoD! (its a vaping dream..again) Luckily I keep my eVic in my work bag with a lil bit of liquid a few carts and my Vivi nova, Along with my G6 in my car ..(yes I am prepared lol) but I want my evod so bad right now. vaping it last night with the new head made me disregard all my other devices ..just like it did on day 1..DDark sad

but picking up 1-or 2more evod's today to keep in the emergency bag lol

You are way more prepared than I am. I carry a lot of stuff with me daily in my go-bag. Which is kind of dumb now that I think about it because for the most part I don't use anything in the bag, but if I forgot it, I would be in trouble. I carry extra batteries, other tanks with different flavors and juice bottles mostly. The only way I would be safe would be if I was rocking an 18650, otherwise, I'd be hosed by after lunch. Bad thing, I've been rocking the 350 tube since saturday. I have three 350s, so it's easy to have a back up when I need it. All this discussion about my carry situation makes me realize I might need to do some rethinking.

I also wanted to give a report on the j-tank... it is performing great. I've refilled it twice now (mbv's butterscotch). It was a pain in the ...., but the second time was a little easier. Honestly, I'm a little surprised how well it is performing. Considering the bad experiences I've had with normal carto uses, but so far so good.

Got it on 1st try. 2.4oHms had to work out a few hot spots but didnt snap or anything. Gotta break it in im gettin a metal taste but putting out clouds and its hittin hard.

Congrats!

Metal taste, prob an oxidation issue.
Did you juice the SS wick, then light it on fire and let it burn out a couple times?

Workin out the hot spots took the longest other than that it was a breeze. Oh and the center post is F'in annoying...RSST is next

Well actually a mech is next..34gauge is really thin and kind've a pain

Haha, warned you - center post sucks
32g with an extra wrap would prob work out for you

How many wraps do you have going now?
