Makes sense to me. I found out if you don't push the fire button hard it doesn't stick. I haven't tried the SS316 setting it has or anything actually besides the profile I use from steam engine but I'm sure they work. Especially straight power.
I wonder if nic can get really strong tasting? I've had this nic thawed and un refrigerated for quite some time now and I kept thinking it was the flavoring but I'm kind of wondering if it's the nic now. I am barely using any flavor and it still has a bite to it to me. I have to take one of my liters out of the freezer and I'm going to fill 3 100ml bottles and put it back then freeze it again and 2 of the bottles also. I think I'll keep it refrigerated this time and see if it makes a difference. I use so little of it I could probably just keep 30 ml out but keep that refrigerated.
Yep I think its the nic. I made 150ml of juice today but oh well. It's not like I have a shortage of flavor or nic or anything for that matter will just make 5 new bottles tomorrow with fresh nic.
You guys that ordered the $20 miracle when you push the fire button just push it till it clicks, that is if it's like mine. If you push it too hard have a listen and see if your atty is still firing. I just forgot and when I let off it kept showing temp control. I might change it to fire about the time I usually puff timewise then if I forget it will shut off anyway. I think I do about a 5 sec puff, I'll have to time it.
Yay Mike!You're most welcome ... that's what we're here for.

It is indeed the nic... nic can turn peppery when it starts to oxidize, or degrade, or whatever you call it. I keep mine in the freezer and only dispense 50 ml at most into a secondary bottle that I keep in my cabinet, Then I use that to mix with. Unless I'm feeling lazy, and I dispense directly into my recipe.
You should allow nicotine solution removed from the freezer to warm to room temperature before you open the container. Otherwise, you greatly increase the amount of oxidation that occurs both in the portion that you remove from the container and the portion that you return to the freezer. I've read that enough times that I firmly believe it.
When I posted that I was getting a Smok Beast tank, I was pretty dismissive of comments that said I should reduce my nic level. I now apologize for that dismissiveness. My vape is a lot smoother with reduced nic. My usual has been 12-13 mg/ml. I made up some 10 mg/ml, but have been reducing that further by adding more VG directly into the tank. I LOVE that this tank is top-fill! It's so easy to fill that it more than makes up for the fact that the capacity is less than the 7 ml Kanger Subtank.
I'm waiting to see if Element Vape has a 10-20% off coupon for Labor Day. Until then, I've slowed my roll on new purchases.

I've read that also, but have never seen a reason that makes me understand what reactions/properties cause that. I guess that I am one that sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I have seen no degradation in my nic and I just finished up what I bought when I did my first large stock order several years ago.
Hadn't heard about excessive oxidation. I do let mine warm to room temp to avoid any chance of water condensing into the nic base, though.
Sounds like a song. Nah Well its Saturday night and I ain't got no body, I got some money cause I just got paid.
Hey all. Been away from ECF for quite awhile. It was absolutely essential when I started vaping over six years ago and quit smoking in just a couple weeks! Found my happy place with EGO batt and EMDCC carto tanks for years, then they stopped selling the EMDCC and I got a box mod with carto tanks. Awesome combo. Now they have stopped selling the carto tanks...Arghh. So I am desperately seeking suggestions for a new tank that has the "filtered" feel of the carto tanks. Most non carto tanks I've tried are just to "airy" if that makes sense. Welcome any input...
I've never used a carto tank, so keep that in mind when deciding whether my advice is meaningful. The least airy tank that I ever used is the Kanger Evod. It also is discontinued but you can still get a hold of them.
These also have very limited airflow, and are available cheap, here, on closeout: Innokin iClear16 Tank Clear 1.6ml Dual Coil Replaceable Coils System
