Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[therussellv]

Well, I done did it, pulled the trigger on a hammer clone, and for good measure got myself a kayfun lite clone to go with it. Dont worry about my wallet, been selling the pieces of an old hobby to pay for my new one. Ebay has been my friend this month.

So now my expected vape mail list is:
1 innoken svd
1 nitecore i2 charger
2 efest imr 18650
2 efest imr 18350
1 hammer clone
1 kayfun light clone
1 250 ml 100 mg nic base
11 assorted flavors

I feel like I've ordered enough for now

Pg/Vg to dilute that 100 mg base?
Bottles?

I have used the efests in both 18650 and 18350. Fair warining the 18350s will work great until they suddenly die. Mine lasted 8 months. The 18650s are still going strong. I have heard from others that the 18350 don't seem to have much longevity.

Already have the pg/vg, I am just stocking up.

Interesting reading the comments on sweet flavors today. I was cleaning and sorting and going through samples I had, and I finally found an English toffee that I like, but I still can't go for more than 10 puffs or so before I need to go back to my unsweetened tea or menthol flavors. So I just don't think I'm cut out for vaping sweet. The toffee will go in the same category as the pineapple (the only other sort of sweet flavor that I like) and be just for an occasional break or for after I've been eating sweet things. I have no problem liking sweet food, but I just don't like sweet vape flavors.

Big grin.
It looks good, and welcome to your new "hobby"
There's no turning back now.

Hope all the sinus problems are put to rest.
They aren't fun

well it seems to be fading pretty quickly. Doc wasnt too worried about it either. Just gotta keep an eye on it

Not a fan of efest. I prefer the AW or Sony. Batteries are one area I prefer not to worry about saving money.

I have been trying to explain the battery thing to the Mrs and I think she finally gets it. But even at $15 a pop it's not a bank breaker, and better safe than sorry!

OK hammerheads, is this a clone or the real deal ? Is the price anywhere near decent ???

Lol, unless those little fingers have long nails on them, getting that little rubber grommet back into the bottom of a PT head can be quite frustrating...... If anyone has a tip on how to make it easier I'd love to hear it.

+1000 on that!!!!!!!!

Moisten it. Squeeze gently and start one side. Keep holding it with one hand, use the other to push the opposite side in using a blunt instrument.

Some grommets are quite stiff material, and they're the hardest to do.

Moisten it with what? A drop of juice seems to be the most likely possibility, since it does have some lubricant qualities.

Kato is the original maker of the Hammer. As to is that one original? I have no idea I can't tell from a photo.

 

[3mg Meniere]

My son in KC just sent me a picture of a new twist and clearo that he got at the local vape shop. Now he has four batteries! LOL

 

[DavidOck]

Juice would be fine to moisten the grommet, or just PG or VG so you don't have to think about flavor, or even water.

I agree batteries and chargers are the only parts of vaping I never cheat on. I'll diy buy clones buy cheap regulated mods but the batteries and chargers are the components that can burn down the house or blow up in your face.

Hit up a bunch of local vape shops on vacation in Florida today. These things are everywhere. All selling starters or pens. Some have clones. Not a lot of good stuff to be had. I do like the innevape juices. Had to get the Heisenberg. Yep it's blue just like the .... on Breaking Bad. Fruity but not bad. Really liking their Vulcan Blood it's an absinthe based liquid. Really tasty. Got a line on a high end store I'm going to try to check out this week.

For you DIYers...

On a lark I picked up some Flavor West Blackberry Mojito flavoring when I placed my last order. All I can say is this stuff is YUMMY. Give it a shot.

Any other new good flavoring out there - I am getting ready to stock up again? I vape em all - Fruity, Coffee, Bakky - mix and match as I feel at the moment...

I've come pretty close to duplicating the MBV Cucumber mojito they discontinued on me right after I discovered it.
Flavor West Cucumber mint Flavor and Flavor West Mojito Flavor in equal parts and add in just a smidge of sweetener

otherwise I have not been experimenting much with flavors lately. Trying to use up some of the not knock my socks off bottles of juice I have laying around.

 

[Ken_A]

Myrany, I think that MBV try not to use exta sweeteners... Is it closer with or without?

The flaps are for light control, and versatility. I don't close them always, only to manipulate the light the way I want.

The first two photos below were shot at 9 this morning, with the open end of the box facing the rising sun, flaps open or not makes no difference. You can see the posterboard curve in the back, for a seamless look.

Turned the box around 180 deg. and

Then opened the flaps to 45 deg. each to reflect sunlight into the box


And got this, taken with only sunlight.

Nice pics, how ever ya got em!!!

I can never stock up on ADVs because my tastes change too often! I've never been a "dessert vaper" but I do love pina collada mixed with banana and tend to stick with fruity flavors or chocolate caramels

Just lately I have been getting tired of that the after taste of that always in my mouth, probably a lot to do with the taste buds waking up so much and filled my extra carto with caramel today and have been vaping that all day! I think it might be my new regular. I have ALWAYS loved the caramel taste, this one is from the local B&M. Need to sample a few of the online ones, I tried one from value vapor and didn't like it. It tasted a bit like pina colada instead of caramel. If anyone knows of a good priced excellent caramel, let me know! I might just have to make some of my own.

The Vapor Chef has a really awesome Nutty Caramel Apple very subtle and complex that you can taste every flavor individually and together...perfect! Which brings me to a question...
In my IBTanked this flavor is not a full as in a clearo, and likewise in the protanks and mini pros. Any reason? I thought it was supposed to be more flavorful in them as opposed to the clearos (evod).
