Finally got my kits and all my e-juice. First thing i did was was blow out the atty, wipe everything down on the outside with a tissue moist with alcohol (it felt a little greasy, possibly primer or something left after testing. It had that e-juice feel and smell), charged the bats, and then de-bridged the atty (Thanks for the video Shan B) and put on a drip tip. I'm using an Ego, but i also have an untried 510.

I'm putting in 2 drops at a time and getting some good vapor. It taste great. I wanted to drip first because it seemed like a good way to try all the different flavors. I'm also trying different ways to puff it. The best way seems to be draw it into the mouth first then inhale.You get a good taste and a good hit that way. Very smooth. Wow!

But I thought I'd throw this out for new vapers. VG seems to be what causes the thick vapor. When you buy e-juice it is perfectly OK to get 50/50 or even 60/40 VG/PG. I say get at least 60% VG. That is the way KickBassVapor seems to send out their e-juice and it is very satisfying for a hard core cigarette smoker like me.
I made the mistake at TastyVapor of choosing 10% VG. That just doesn't produce the vapor that a recent analog smoker is going to want. TV's stuff is so tasty I'm going to vape it anyway ;-) It was just too many choices for a newb. I didn't know what I wanted. But at least I know what to order next time.

Anyway, if your just now switching to a PV then try an e-juice with lots of VG for good hearty thick vapor that resembles an analog more. Funny, I don't seem to have any problem at all with my PV tasting like a raspberry lollipop. It's just the thick vapor I need. Go figure!
:laugh:

Congrat's on getting your new rigs. Vapor has more to it than just the PG/VG ratio. I use some juices at 100% PG and they produce good vapor, others at a 70/30 mix don't produce as much. I like good throat hit so I tend to stick with a higher PG ratio, but I've tried some 20/80 juices that gave good TH too. So it seems like it's not all about the ratio and there's other factors involved. I'd just suggest you try a bunch of juices in different ratios until you find what work best for you.
