Man, you guys sure were chatty today!! I'm still not finished catching up on this thread and I may not get to tonight as it's 5:30 am here and I wanted to at least reply on some of it before I crash! (Fortunately it looks like maybe the count is slowing down and it's hit a lull so perhaps I'll be able to catch up from my tablet in bed as I drift off.) But sorry I haven't been able to get in here at a more reasonable hour the last few nights. Busy life and all!
Ahlusion's Gold Member. I have their Car-Mal Mambo and haven't tried the Gold Member yet as it's fairly new, but I've heard lots of good things about it on the Ahlusion thread. Note that it's got a malty note to it too which may or may not float your boat....
LOL I was thinking the exact same thing! But I was away the whole day, I think it was closer to 40 pages (which is why I'm still not caught up yet
BTW thanks for the video. I saved it even though I'm not yet at the point of building my own coils. I might like to venture down that road some day, but for right now, I haven't had time or inclination since I've already got my hands full with all kinds of other hobbies and tech stuff, plus DIY projects for dance costumes and jewelry. I'm lucky I have enough space to store all my juices what with all the tech gadgets I'm always pulling apart, rooting, etc. and my dance costumes now have their own room too!
*giggle* Like everyone else, I thought you did that on purpose to demonstrate how to
defy Gravity, those bottles hanging from the ceiling and all. :laugh
That's awesome Pat!! I too used that very same method for my very first dripping atty as well. (I have a couple of Stingrays and EmpireMod dripping attys now since I do a lot more dripping than just flavor testing, but it's definitely a great place to start if you don't plan to do it all the time. And how fantastic is that that you figured it out yourself!! I had to use
this youtube video for my first one.
And I'm glad you decided to listen to Cactus and me and check out Nicoticket. I'm a big fan of vanilla and caramel myself. Had always thought of Halo's Tribeca as my favorite RY4, but more recently, I'm digging MEL's (Mister-E-Liquid) RY4 and Grey Matter even more. Both my mom and sister agree and we'll be ordering more from them again shortly. They have several other great flavors that aren't yet in Clark's arsenal. (I don't think I'm a one vendor kinda girl anyway as awesome as Nicoticket is... I'm happy to have a good top 5 or so that I will order from regularly. Besides Nicoticket, that also includes Ahlusion (A+) and Alice in Vapeland (AiV), and probably MEL now too.)
Sadly I have not ordered from MBV in awhile and they have lost their top spot. Though I still have a few flavors from them I really enjoy (Butterscotch, Hawk Sauce, and to a lesser extent Cinnamon Roll & Sticky Bun) I was never happy with any of their fruit flavors outside of Hawk Sauce as they all tasted artificial to me. Hawk Sauce to me tastes like sweet tarts so since I perceive it as a candy vape, I'm not too hung up on the fact that it doesn't taste like real fruit.
Oh and on the APV front, I'm not sure of the price on the Tesla, but you may want to just consider a Vamo as your next step up from the eGo batteries. Are you already using variable voltage, i.e. twists, spinners? The Vamo can be picked up real cheap at Fasttech, only about $37 I honestly think it'd be a better, more cost effective option for your first mod instead of the more expensive Tesla. (No offense 7sixtwo.) The battery only can be had for as little as $32, but since this would be your first mod, you'd be better served with the Nitecore kit which includes 2 18650 batteries and a Nitecore charger.

FYI, I've included a few Djarum Blacks in the package I have going out to Clark tomorrow since he said he'd need to taste the real thing in order to work on an e-liquid based on it. No inhaling, right Clark?
Clark, I'll send you the DC # in a PM. It's going via First Class, but when you use electronic shipping software like Endicia or Stamps.com (I use Endicia), DC is free on First Class as well as Priority. I believe it costs 90 cents otherwise if you're not using shipping software, plus you also get the commercial base rate on priority and International packages which is cheaper than what you pay if you walk into the post office. I've been using it for 10 years or more as I used to send tons of books through the mail.
Megan, I found you on Facebook and sending you a facebook and sending you a friend request. I've had some stuff from Black Phoenix myself. My friend Kim from NY loves that stuff and introduced me to it. I still have lots of essentials here that I mix up myself to make my own scents, but still buy retail from time to time too. I'm currently seeking to replace Steambath Factory as they no longer make the all-natural hemp body lotion I used to love in their delicious scents. Do you know off the top of your head if BPAL has something similar? I recall their web site being really hard to find anything...
Back to reading.... think I'm gonna take y'all to bed with me though so if I fall asleep on ya, at least you'll know it was good for me too!
