Strix Elixir's black honey cream, my adv so far. So good. Morning everyone!

Ooh, I had to go look at that one, sounds yummy; ooh, pre-steeped too, even better. Bookmarked that site for further investigation. Have you tried any other juices from there?

ETA: Found a coupon! STRIX25 gives ya 25% off your order, trigger pulled, lol.

DV Orange Cream - just a lil' bit too much rind/peel taste fer moi. Gonna try a couple of diff toppers before I add sumpin' to it.

You're just spoiled 'cause it's too easy for you to get naturally ripened oranges in FL.

This might get a little long, but I have a testimony...especially for you newbies and anyone on the fence about to vape or not to vape.

Nov. 2011 I was at my Dr. He showed me my chest x-ray and told me I HAD to quit smoking and I had emphysema. He gave me a prescription for one of those inhaler things...I don't recall the name. I decided not to fill the prescription and instead, drove to Walgreens and bought a Blu disposable. My feeling at that time was "this just has to work" or I'm in trouble, cause I cannot quit cold turkey.

With that first puff, I knew I could give up cigarettes as long as I could vape instead. The Dr had me take one of those breath things that measures lung capacity. I did not do well.

I was back at the Dr this morning. Had another lung capacity test and it was normal...normal. I smoked for 40+ years and have been vaping 27 months.

Is vaping worth it? I think so. Vape on, everybody. :vapor::D

Always so nice to read the positive stories. Good news indeed!

How'd you decide on 32? Seems all kinds of ideas from 28 to 30 to 32. I was considering picking up a roll of 30.

Can't go wrong starting off w/ some 30g. It's probably the most versatile gauge for coiling everything from clearo's to RBAs.

I had been using those tiny bottles of vodka ($1) for rinsing out my syringes. I dumped one into a tall glass of cranberry juice and drank it-- was interesting. I put base into it, and am now using that for rinsing the syringes. I use the denture tablet method for the coil heads.

I never thought to use denture tablets. I probably have them in stock. They work great on my coffee pot. Damn I just checked no dice. I slip it on wifey's shopping order. Good call 0mg

What'cha vapin' on this mornin' everyone? I'm tootin' on my first tank of Gremlin Juice's Vanilla Custard for breakfast, it's pretty darn good. It did need a couple of weeks in the steep box; peeked at it this morning and it was that pretty orange color so I knew it was good to go. I love it when a new juice joins the rotation...:)

Just picked up a bottle of Suicide Bunny Mother's Milk - this is really tasty....strawberry creme. This 30ml bottle wont last long if i load it in the R91. I may save this for the RDA and enjoy it two drips at a time

An excellent option for those who would rather have no drinkable alcohol in the house. I need to get some more denture tabs-- given how frequently I swap out coils. I am looking forward to my little bit of everything vape.

I agree, it is really good, that and their OB are my two favorite juices so far.

enjoying some caffee mocha from halo in my new evod.

On a side note.. one of the two evods wont screw on properly on my MVP, small gap.. small enough to not make contact. Afraid to force it down. Really odd since the other evod screws on buttery smooth. ;{ it screws on okay on a EGO batt and works but just cant get a reading on the mvp ;[ AH well needed a tank for that EGO batt as well ;)

That's an issue with the MVP. You can try nudging / lifting it's center contact a tad. Turn it off, then using a straightend paper clip, small screwdriver, whatever, gently rock it from all four sides. Or maybe get a 510 adapter. Slight variations in the build of the toppers...

I'm loving some of my diy Peach Brandy this morning.

I am really looking for a good tobacco flavor. I am normally a "dessert" kinda gal, but tried a Sahara Desert flavor and liked it, so I thought I would try others. I bought an Itaste MVP2 (which, btw, I l o v e) from Mt Baker, and they threw in a bottle of juice for free, so I ordered Vanilla Tobacco. When I got it, tasted like perfume, but no worries, I thought maybe it needed to steep. Three weeks in, tried again, still perfume. Asked my husband (a non-vaper) to try it and he said it kinda tasted like the pipe tobacco he used to smoke. Anyone else experience this?

the MVP has a floating center pin in the 510 connector... always be careful not to overtighten your atty's. As David said you can gently pry/coax the center pin up using a precision screw driver...that little sucker will come up quite a ways. You wont hurt anything unless you decide to mash the power button with your screw driver touching the center pin and the side walls.. :evil:

I bought a few of these airflow controllers. I use them to protect my mod pin from the screw in the bottom of my kfl+. I hate scoring my power pin. These have a floating center pin and also catch leaking juice keeping it off your battery. If a tank leaks you can remove it and run it under water to clean. They also will meet up with pins that like to turtle up the 510 connection. They look a little wonkey but for 3 bucks cure allot of issues. They work great on kanger pro tanks 1-2

In all seriousness, don't use the mint, or any flavored ones for that matter, or you'll end up with minty fresh atomizers. I've seen folks who used them for their dentures get an Eureka moment when told denture tablets would clean atomizers only to have a serious letdown, usually after the tablet's long dissolved, that using their everyday minty tablet wasn't a good idea. I'm sure it wouldn't occur to me until long after its too late and more likely as I'm using a newly cleaned coil trying to figure out where the odd mint taste comes from.
