Chopper, I forgot to ask, how's it coming on those passthroughs? That one you have is pretty neat.
I like that side cut, looks sleek.

Looks sturdy good enough to ward off burglars also!! (dual purpose passthrough :))

Well if I could just get the switches here in a timely manner I would be done with them.I have 2 completely done and a 3rd almost done.The chrome wouldn't help out with a burglar,its very light.Its vape is worse then its bite lol.I work on them when I can as I'm on 4 different types of medicines that keep me like a zombie most of the times lol.

Geez! Must you be such a teaser?

Yes :)


Ok the items I wanted to tell you about...

For the last few weeks I have been working with someone who is a very good woodworker. We have talked about making wood mods, cases etc..we've sent videos to each other, talked and emails back and forth on a variety of items and designs.I have sent him some Go-go's, Jumbo Go-go's and some XL3's As the time and talk has gone by we figured out the best approach to getting something out here that anyone would be proud to own.

Oddly enough, just as we were about to release it, up pops another guy (posted here a bit earlier) He is equally talented and he is working on ePower devices. I also be sent him XL3's and Go-gos.

He does this for a hobby and is extremely committed to providing excellent work, just talking with him gives me confidence that he is a stand up person who doesn't care about the money.So, I have two guys who do excellent work and seem to be just excellent people, working on mods for us.

American handiwork at it's best and I am going to be proud to offer these pieces.
They aren't cheap, but neither is the worksmanship. These aren't cheap wood slap sealer on done kind of items, these are very professional items.
I will post more details later and I have some more pictures coming tomorrow.

Here is a sneak peak:

So is that basically a whole Go Go that is put into a wooden case?Meaning something like a wooden dowel drilled out,pre-fitted,shaped,sanded,stained,then a Go Go battery put in.

Yea, and I am waiting on that OTHER GUY to get his protoype to me :)
You know the other guy I was talking to two months ago about this stuff.

There is room for more than two makers ;)

Got my package today :)

The package had a few goodies in it.
  1. Organic Tobacco: Compared to the tobacco flavors from liberty-flights and CCV all I can say is WOW. This is so close to a actual smoke which I really missed. It has that bitter/sweet/burnt taste that cigarettes have yes that taste. It produces a little more vapor than my liberty-flights liquid. The TH is definitely there. A little less than my 24mg liberty-flights, but this is 18mg. Overall its a perfect balance.
    With CCV liquid I would start to get a chemical taste after 1/2 a day. So far with this there is not even a hint of chemical taste. I really hope it stays that way.
  2. XL3: I can't comment on the switch as the battery is charging other than it is VV. I have always thought that 18650 was just to big for me. I like my Riva 650mah. My E-power 14650 is just small enough for me. I have seen pictures of E-power 18650 and compared to the 14650 and they are huge. The XL3 is only 1/4 of a inch taller than my E-power 14650. The diameter is 13/16 compared to 5/8, but that is fine with me. For the size of a 18650 with VV I am very impressed. I thought I would just be using the XL3 for testing, but this is definitely going to get used.
    The quality also seems to be better than the E-power. The tube is thicker and it is all one piece (threaded at both ends). The E-power tube is thinner and has the bottom cap and top threads pressed into the tube.
    I am not saying the E-power is bad, I like it too. So far it seems that for the size the XL3 is a better option.
  3. XL3 mini: It is a short XL3. It is perfect for me. It is the modular VV riva that I never had. Now I just need to get some batteries hint hint.

As if my request for organic cloves isn't enough....
Did you ever try the swisher sweet mini cigars about 20yrs ago. The ones that you could taste the sweet on your lips. The ones they have now are well not really sweet anymore. The black-n-mild that they make is not any better. In short swisher doesn't make them anymore :( So please Eric if you know what I am talking about is there any hope for a e-liquid like this. If I hadn't have tasted your tobacco flavor I wouldn't even ask :)

I could probably work on this, it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to make something that would give you just a hint of sweetness without ruining the overall taste.

The old swisher sweets were really sweet almost like a candy tobacco with some sort of spice in it. Really hard to describe unless you tasted it when they used to make them.

If I could modify the organic tobacco for myself (not for everyone) I would make it a little sweeter and make it 50vg/50pg. Basically a little sweeter with more vapor and a little less TH. This wouldn't make a swisher cigar taste and I don't think most would like it over what you currently have but I sure would :)

Not that many but I'm afraid to count them because it might discourage me from getting the next one. lol I have more Go-Go's than any other PV being as they seem to last and last. I just received my Kuwako pipe head today that works great on my auto batteries. They would be a good product for you to carry if anyone clones one. They are the only reasonable priced item Janty has ever had but I think it was a come on to buy their expensive auto battery. They want 29.00 for a 650 auto but you can use an Echo auto with them and they only cost 13.00. It would make a nice pipe for you to sell being as you don't have any pipes yet. Here is a pic with a 650 battery. That is a 650 manual I just stuck on it for a picture but any 14mm battery will work with them. I like it much better with a 1300 auto though.

Ok so now I have 60ml of CCV liquid that I can't use.(chemical taste)
I have 100ml of liberty-flights pg that was alright until I tasted someones organic tobacco and now they are not alright anymore. Thanks a lot Eric you just ruined all on my pg stock!

So now I am wondering if I can doctor them up. They are all 24mg, over powering taste, and a tad harsh. What do you think about adding 25% pure vg to them? I am guessing it would mellow them out and produce better vapor. Am I on the right track?

You are saying the 100ml PG (is it plain?) has a chemical taste?
if so I would chuck it, not good, I believe that can happen if it's left in a warm area, can turn yellowish also.
That said, yes, diluting would probably tone it down a bit.

I do zero testing with trying to fix something, if it looks, smells or tastes bad in anyway, I chuck...

If you mean you have some flavors that are doing this, the dilution will help but you'll also change the flavor dramatically at 25%

and I ain't gonna apologize for sending you primo stuff and ruining all your "other" brand. :) :)

The 60ml from CCV (chemical taste) yes trash can.
The other 100ml doesn't have any bad taste or color. Is stored in cool dark place.
Basically it is just like when I got it. I am just spoiled now :)
I was hopping 25% VG would cut the flavor in about 1/2. Mellow it out and give it more vapor production.
Does that sound about right?

Do you recommend storing in cold dark place or refrigerate?

Yes on the first part, you do not need to store your supplies in a "cold" place, room temperature is fine but keeping it out of the light and heated areas is best.
