Check out the Igo-l (I know Clark Kent has one)....very affordable, great flavor and very easy to coil ...
I'm hitting H1N1 on one of mine right now and compared to the carto I had it in at work today, the flavor on the Igo is so much more crisp and clear.

As for the Clark/Kent thingy.......he's Superman.....lol

Thank you Hawkizefan!
I've heard a lot about the Igo-l - so that's definitely one I'll look into.
Earlier today I heard about the The Russian 91% (a clone of the Kayfun Lite) that sounded interesting.

On the mechanical front, I have the Kamry K100 and I love it. Mod-wise, I think the differences are overplayed, honestly... at the end of the day, it's a battery tube. People get all hot and bothered by voltage drop, etc... I generally don't obsess about it.

I am a huge fan of my Sigelei #8 with an RSST - I just got a Fusions SG-1 Hybrid Kit for it, but I haven't slapped it on yet. The RSST is nice for a Genesis Style Atomizer - mesh seemed to be easy enough to get used to as a wicking material. It does have a longer break in time for me (2-3 tanks) before it loses the metallic taste. I am still on the same wick I rolled 2 months ago, though...

I have an Octopus and it's my favorite dripper, but it takes some modding... plug the stock air holes with toothpicks and drill a 2mm hole in the side of the cap. All things being equal it's been a royal pain the rear, leaked more liquid that it's vaporized, but I learned a ton in the process and it's still my favorite full size RDA (due in part to the fact that it has thumb screws and no allen wrench is needed). The smaller version (Bully, or Squid) is nice for testing liquid.

I am a recent Igo-L convert, due in part to Hawk and gotalot. Gotalot traded me one for some juice and I really like it. I still haven't rolled a coil on it yet, using his microcoil on cotton at first... then fished some Ekowool through the same coil. He drilled it out, not sure how big the hole is. I have a couple more coming just for play.

Finally - if you can find any local, support a local vape shop. Fasttech, VaporBreak, etc will save you a bunch of $$$, but you're pretty much on your own from a service perspective. At the end of the day, it's not like there's a ton of moving parts in a mechanical mod or an RDA, so I confess, I went the cheap route despite the slow shipping - that, and there's no one local who carries the mods and RDAs I wanted.

Thank you Clark!
As for the Igo-L - is Silica wick an option?
The prospect of breaking in a metal wick to get past a metallic taste doesn't sound all too appealing - and I've heard that silica tastes smoother that metal.

This Hawkspit continues to still change ever so slightly each day.
It's also taken on a beautiful "amber bock" type appearance.
Very creamy, nice TH and even though it is in a way reminiscent of CLS....there is something in the finish that sets it apart and is very tantalizing.

I THINK I know what I'm tasting at the end, but it's so ethereal that its almost ghost like.....
I'll buy you a beer to learn what tobacco you're using...lol.....

Shatner from the Natural Tobacco thread was razzing me about my MAXVG recommendation on H1N1. I like my MAXVG bottle in my dripper even more than the 65/35 bottle that has been steeping over a month. That said, it's still doing well in the protank between 9-14 watts (just tossed out some XTC from Fuzion Vapor, I can't get into it). You have a MAXVG bottle too right? I think the throat hit and flavor is more than "there" even in a MAXVG blend - that's the part that surprises me. Usually I have to reccomend a 65/35 or a 50/50 to get the flavor to pop, but this stuff is killing it in VG.

After the NET comes through you'd think the net was 50% Aunt Jamima.

I've got the 20/80 blend, and surprisingly it isn't as thick as those numbers make me think it would be.

The prospect of breaking in a metal wick to get past a metallic taste doesn't sound all too appealing - and I've heard that silica tastes smoother that metal.

If you talk to gotalot and Hawk, they will tell you cotton is king. Try it for yourself, cheap option, get some sterile rolled cotton at the pharmacy (or cotton balls). Just keep in mind that cotton is thirsty and expands like crazy. I think gotalot has a good vid on rolling a microcoil and a cotton wick on the Igo-L.

I went on a cotton run, but to be honest, I only like some liquids on cotton. Hawks DIY is mixed at 33mg or something crazy so I am sure he can't taste anything but his liquid - but in lighter vapes (like Nicoticket fruits) the cotton does a number on the flavor.

Silica is a great bet. I linked a guy on the nicoticket facebook that offers good quality silica cheap. He also offers A-1 Kanthal. I only keep 32gu and 28gu on hand myself... I know there are plenty that play with 30gu and 34gu but I haven't got any experience there.

Another option, to make things more complicated, is Hemp Twine. That's down the road for you though. H1N1 tastes great on hemp, as do other net tobaccos I've tried (including Boba's Bounty, KY4, and Halo Prime 15)

Get high quality silica - I have concerns about the cheap stuff that flakes off and has the potential to land in your lungs.

I'm getting a taste of TA (tobacco absolute), which is good for me cuz I like TA. But it's sooooooooooo subtle that I'm sure I've convinced myself that I'm tasting it when I'm not......

Aunt Jamima is one hot lady.....lol....

 

[Kent Brooks]

Same scenario as Boba's Bounty - BB is 100% VG, but if you shake the bottle you'd never know it. It looks, feels, and wicks more like a 50/50.

There is some TA for sure... not much, but some. What else you tasting? Curious?

 

[Vander615]

GRAP3 AP3!!

I cant put this stuff down...and thats bad because I only bought a 15ml bottle.

 

[Vander615]

Expect ANOTHER order from me soon Clark...lol....I gotta get a bigger bottle of the purple monkey.I DO NOT want to run out of this...lol

 

[Bryan lord]

My order was shipped today! Should be vaping it on Wednesday I'd guess. Hopefully my pre order reaches me before I go on holiday for a week. If not, extra steep time never killed anyone.

.....another unprovoked attack.
Isn't 33mg the universal nic level????

Earlier it was maple.....but that has all but disappeared. Sometimes I think I get a faint whisper of ?mint? But think that's a mind trick.
This changes not only daily but hourly.
Should have called this "GOBSTOPPER"
Remember the Willy Wonka movie? He had jawbreakers that lasted forever and the flavor changed continually.
I just copyrighted " GOBSTOPPER" .....don't even..

They made a Gobstopper candy if I recall. Hard candy, round balls, really tasty... probably Wonka brand candy. I loved em - I wonder if they are still around? Mint? Thats a new one. I pick up cinnamon sometimes, early in the steep. Very faint, almost like a candy cinnamon *hint* You are a taste Jedi, I am know you will come up with it.

Now, about that beer...

Omaha misses you Hawk - how are the California girls treating you?

Lol.....OL Hawk can take a jab.....

You wanna buy the name "GOBSTOPPER"????
Selling it half price today.....lol.

Jump on a plane and come have a beer and a fish taco. I'm buying...(actually, Travel and Transport is buying). I might have 2 beers and 2 tacos. I'm not maintaining this girlish figure eating only 1 of anything I eat

I think I'm getting a tan. Thanks for lending me that thong thingy. I'll show you my tan lines when I get back.

Cali girls love OL Hawk. Chasing me down the street.
Apparently rock throwing and spitting are a form of foreplay in San Diego.....
Yeah.....they love OL Hawk.

I get absolutely no cinnamon....?????
Could my nic abused taste buds possibly be confusing cinnamon and mint?

 

[hawkizefan]

Ok....Hawk needs to clean up and go forage......
Nice English pub at my hotel and the food is outstanding.
Their very proud of it ($$$$), but it's verrrrry good.
