Oly,
My oldest dd just decided she would like to vape (24 but never smoked a day in her life, thank god...so it's zero nic for her!) but really liked the slim style of pen types. I just bought her an eVod battery and a mini protank 3. She loves it!

Not sure the specifics on your daughter or her preferences but I have suggested iSticks (20, 30) as starters for many. Hth!

 

[Bovinia]

Dee there's not one single thing in your post that I don't love!!

Good starter suggestions Tracy. Exactly what I was thinking, a small evod or ego type batt with a mini pro tank or mini nautilus. Cheers to your daughter Oly!!

Here is the Velocity and the Aromamizer. On the Aro I have 3mm coils 6 wraps of 26, I think and probably the same on the Velo. The Aro's deck is smaller and I had to keep the coils close the the posts but wasn't an issue. It goes through 3 mil pretty quickly but i really like the size. I am getting a different flavor than usual, not bad but different. I do like it and I think this could be my go to tank. I'll be playing with nickel soon.

Last year I got ahold of the company the makes and sells Nic to pharma for gum and patches. They sell in drums and the smallest I could get was about $500. They turned me on to a company who co-packs with their Nic and sells it too. I bought a liter and it came back pee yellow. I was so disappointed. They said that's how it is. I told them I have 6 month old Nic not in the freezer that's nearly colorless. He kept telling me how pure it is. I told him the yellow is from oxidation and how pure could it be. I went back to the manufacturer and he said it should be crystal clear.

Almost all Nic is made in China or India. Kurt the chemist from here and AEMSA said both their stuff is very clean. That being said, I'll be checking this Nic company out... thanks for the link Dee.

Those look fantastic Wharf! I've been batting around the idea of a Bellow V2 but not sure I want to go to a 2 coil setup. Or maybe there's an Aromamizer in my future

I'm still plenty happy with my Subtank rbas, I am waiting on some prewrapped .6ohm claptons to test drive. I was having trouble with wicking no matter what I used, I couldn't get it right. Al (owner of our local vape shop) turned me on to cotton bacon and I haven't had a single problem since I started using it. Now I want to know what bulk cotton they use to package it and call it bacon!!

I have some of that too,Bov

Nice Wharf!!!
My troll is built at 0.29 as well, but I'm a whimp and vape the Snow Wolf @ 25 watts!!!

My Aromamizer came today but with H'ween festivities, I can't play with it yet! Hoping for tomorrow or Monday to be able to!

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

The grandfather date changed passed the House Subcommittee today !!!

Wharf, are you sure about this? I've been Googling HR 2058 since I saw this and everything tells me it's still in committee.

 

[Bovinia]

You're not a wimp Tracy! I rarely go above 18w.

 

[FranC]

I rarely go above 10w

I've been using cotton bacon for about a month now. Everything else went in the drawer or bathroom vanity.
I followed a link to a story on U.S. News and saw a document signed by John Boehner (sp) saying it should be changed. I'll check and see if I can find the link. Can't remember where I saw it lol.

I quoted the wrong post lol. The article I read about it is above and I'm not sure what it means. I don't think it means it passed but it's an interesting read.

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Crap. I just looked and that was written last year. Don't know why somebody posted it today like it was news.

Goldie (I apologize for not posting this when I saw your post) and PI... Keyzy posted this on FB Thursday.



"The House Appropriations Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Subcommittee approved a $20.65 billion agriculture appropriations bill Thursday that would make it harder for the Food and Drug Administration to remove electronic cigarettes on the market now from store shelves.

If enacted, the bill would keep the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products from forcing e-cigarettes already on the market to go through a lengthy and potentially costly Premarket Tobacco Review application process under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The FDA would still be allowed to regulate how the products are made, packaged and sold."

LD, I have seen many comments about CXT. Some people say the best on the planet and others say it is no better than other vendors nic. Seems about 50/50 mixed as far as reviews go. I have not seen anyone say it is not good nic though. Very expensive and so is the shipping. I thought about trying the 120 ml "sample" bottle but, I am happy with what I am using and can't see paying the price they ask. You may feel differently.

In Charleston through Tuesday. Taking my parrots to their avian vet here. Thought I would pop in before sleep.

Have a good night, all.

 

[salemgold]

No worries, Wharf. Almost missed your post. I really have to look for the "see more posts" thing. Especially on my phone.

I didn't really compare prices when I found CXT....I did look but wasn't alarmed....I'm gonna call and ask if I can pick a bottle up and hopefully get the old Dee discount....May ride too Charlotte later in the week for some flavor.....Pretty happy with the Nic I get there as well....I did like the way CXT extracts the nic and Wake Forest is a ding dang long way from China......

2 Aromamizers and one Nano Cap rolling this way tomorrow.....24/26/27 gauge TemCo coming in hot as well.....

NC passed some WHACKO VAPE LAW last year.....The local B&Ms claimed it would shut them down....They're still here....with crappy outdated stuff....Pretty sure the law is un-enforceable....Vape mail was supposed to be a no no or with some big azz tax....I don't remember....Raleigh can SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang old Mom....Wednesday I sat at the Doc's for 3 hours sos she could get checked out....some slight lung inflamation.....got the script as well and then i had to haul for my blood test....Awoke early yesterday by Mom wanting to go back too the Doc as the condition wasn't immediately gone....She hell hammered Sis and I and Sis ended up taking her too the emergency room where she was told the exact same thing her Doc said....I went by and checked her out last evening and got the beech fest about my ill Sis....Great....... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now she wants to roll up too Auntie's for a baby shower for a girl she hardly knows....Yeah....I've heard every excuse in the book for why she'll go if she wants.....Time to slow that roll

I just cut the ECF block....Looks like the Aromamizer will need a good bath prior due too machine oil and a reported metallic taste....Also reported to dump if laid on it's side....Time will tell....Bet this....I will stuff the Hades outta that coil and cover the juice channels with mops....Last go round with the wicks I trimmed the middle a little thinner...I then pulled that thin spot into the coil and WHAMMO!!!! Worked great and still rolling weeks later...I've debated stuffing the trimmed wick tails into the space on either side of the KSM wick but so far haven't done that...I do make sure I got Hella cotton blocking that hole...I ordered 2 Aromas in case it is the Holy Grail and if not and a KSM remains in rotation I will have spare parts galore....

Yesterday I traded my I Stick/DNA Shark/ Mini Nauty w/4 coils for a complete minus title Suzuki Samurai with a blown clutch....I missed a like Sammy 2 weeks back that sold for $700...I offered $400....Parts is parts and I'm collecting....I intend to swap a VW 1.9 turbo diesel into a Sammy one day in the future....Easy 40 mpg and torque out the ying yang

Salem, drive safely and hope your birds are ok!

I almost never wash before I build a new atty. With the Aro I saw a bit vaseline ? on the inner thread. I soaked it in hot water, a bit of soap and used a bush on it. Should have washed it more. he different taste has finally gone away. Liking it so far.
