Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

Kurt, ECF’s resident authority/guru on nic storage, has just posted this Deeming Regulations have been released!!!! thought it was very important to pass on. All between my last post and this will have to wait until tomorrow, I’m barely awake. Sleep well all, you guys rock.

Then Bogegate happened and he actively starting looking for something else

lol I'd pretty much stopped watching him by the time bogegate happened, but I know he really liked the vivi nova.

Did Phil actually say he liked the Hurricane better than the kayfun? I did hear him say that the Squape "may" have slightly better flavor than the kayfun, but every time I saw him he was still using a kayfun.

Hiya Trader........welcome to the porches!!

Thanks for posting this. It made me go back and rewatch the video that I have posted several times (his portion of it). I thought he had said that nic lasted longer in PG and I realized he did not say that. He did however say that Nic in VG is much more prone to hot spots, because it doesn't mix as well with vg as it does pg. But PG could be a lil more prone to oxidation. That's pretty negligible though if it's in glass, in the freezer and not being opening, because it won't oxidize through sealed glass in the dark. Pg is more prone to oxidation if you're keeping it out, or opening the same bottle over and over etc. He does buy his nic in VG because Pg irritates him, so he uses as little as possible, but he said you do need to leave about 20% head room and shake the stuffin outta it and agreed that when you think you're done......shake some more. Or put it in a larger container and stir it a lot. Then rebottle. This may be where I thought he said pg would last longer. Any cook will tell you the more you're agitating something in an open bowl or jar, the more air you're mixing into it.
Just wanted to clear up my mistake.......Kurt did not say nic in pg will last longer. But he did say in VG you're more likely to have nic hot spots. (Greater concentration of nic in one part than another part).

I didn't read down far enough its on sale for 50.

Everytime I check it it's 50.00 since I started researching about diy. It shows as a sale, but if it's on sale then it's a neverending sale.

 

[Kenna]

And I tried it - so if you order the plastic bottle for $50 and use the coupon code the MM found - it turned it to $45...

Did not order it, but the $45 seemed to work up to the checkout stage... Gotta load some more money onto my card so I can order me one...

They have free shipping for purchases over 75.00. If you don't spend 75, that discount pretty much covers uour shipping.

It is a sad time, very hard to believe its happening.

BB Sport sounds like something I want, the Subtank rba's are a good vape.

I found some V2 subtank RBA bases at Sweet Vapes and ordered them in anticipation of the Sport (Racing?). I just wish Konstaninos would release them, already!

I don't see anyone mentioning wizard. are they still on people's happy list? I've been using them exclusively for years. I know they are not the most inexpensive but I like they mix to order and I've had very good stuff from them.

WL nic has a peppery flavor to me. I bought Nude Nic when it was on Black Friday sale a few years ago and liked it better. I also have some Vtek nic and love it too. I haven't tried the others (MFS etc).

Hi, and welcome to the porch!

So, what is new and exciting hardware-wise? I'm still running my old school KFLite. Killed my daily carry Provari 2.5 and picked up a classic. Still have my Semovar as my daily backup and Nemesis as the weekend warrior. Can I still hang out with the cool kids?

Yikes! How's you kill your P2.5 ... them things are near indestructible.

How would you compare the V4 to the Lite? I watched the PB YT review, it looks like an IQ test to take apart and reassemble. Thinking about picking one up but if it's not that great an improvement I'll just keep the ones I have running.

The V4 can be adjusted for more airflow than the KFL-lites. I like the V4's better because of that. The KFL-Lites are just a tad too tight a draw for me. And IMO, the dual airflow EhPro versions aren't any more airy as the limiting point to the 510 tube supplying air to the coil and that's the same in all versions.

Who sells the Kayfun for a good price? What version should I look for?

EhPro is the most popular clone brand for the KFL-Lite. If your considering the KFLV4 I recommend the Tobecco clone.

Someone was saying that Fastech sells the Authentic a lot cheaper then anyone in the US apparently they got the OK from Kayfun to sell them. Probably not to many US vendors want to carry them there are so many others out there. PB likes the Hurricane better and he was always a Kayfunboy. Authentic Hurricane is like $190

I read that too and searched all over Fasttech for an original SVOE. Couldn't find anything other then KFL Styled listings. Although some showed the clone even came in a cloned box looking like the original packing. I still seriously doubt Fastech did or does sell the original.

Did Phil actually say he liked the Hurricane better than the Kayfun? I did hear him say that the Squape "may" have slightly better flavor than the Kayfun, but every time I saw him he was still using a Kayfun.

Welcome to the porch Trader. Make yourself at home and join the group.

It was slowly going downhill after two years of daily use, threads getting worn, button getting weird, basically it was tired. Then one day it fell off the counter onto the tile and that took it out. Thought about sending it in for repair but just got a classic for a buck and a half. Glad I did. Better electronics, flat-top, takes any size battery, set for watts, blah blah.

I really like WL but its too expensive I think so I stopped using them. I have been getting from MFS and ECX when they have sales. And if I need something right away I just use ECX as they are in my State.

 

[Semiretired]

Wow, I had to peek. I have not bought nic in so long I have not kept up with direction the vendors have gone. WL sure has gone up a bit - they used to be right in there competing with RTS and MFS, but I guess once they invested into their current setup - they went with the - I gotta pay for this investment approach.

 

[Semiretired]

Hmmm, kind of makes me wonder what the others are doing to keep their prices down besides using nic from China...

 

[Semiretired]

Another Hmmm, there may just be a bunch of sales in the future if this deeming does not back off just a little... I hope they are given enough time to liquidate gracefully before the door slams shut - I would hate to see that many small businesses devastated at once. It just would not be fair...

People on dialysis in general are on it because thier organs are not functioning properly to clear toxic substances out of their bodies.

A relatively no big deal spill of 100 mg on the hands for us is potentially deadly to Lulu. Our body would clear it quickly. She could potentially OD.

Thank you for that succinct explanation, @Myrany, I usually get bogged down in the nitty gritty and wind up with too much info shared. I think I'll save that explanation and just copy and paste when asked about it. Your explanation is so much more clear.

I went home today to spend some time with the Mom on Mothers Day. I checked all of my LG HG2 batteries while I was there. Some were bought last year, & I really wasn't concerned that they might be fake since the ones Mooch reported on were sold in March or later. I'd bought 3 pairs in March for my Hex's & those were the ones I especially wanted to look at. All of them had the dull finish & rough texture on the white insulator. Glaf I don't have to deal with venfors over them. I bought them all from 101 Vape, RTD Vapor, & some from Vape NW last year.

Just made some joose with another flavoring that I'm using for the first time. It's FlavourArt Red Touch (Strawberry) flavor. I'm vaping it "raw" with no steeping and it's very, very good. It's not one of those FA flavors that's super strong but it is delicious, true, and not too subtle at all. To my taste it's sweeter, stronger and more like real strawberry than TFA Strawberry (Wild).

I used 7% FA Red Touch plus 3% FA Menthol Artic (RTS Vapes' misspelling of Arctic, not mine).

No one has ever used nicotine liquid from anywhere but Asia. It all comes from China, India or one other Asian place that I can't remember. Those are the only locations in the world where consumable nicotine is extracted and produced. None of it has ever been sourced from Europe or North America.

I have never bought nicotine, but many said this one has no flavor at all and is worth the price for trial. Just a mention...

Did you notice the breakdown at the bottom of the page? They did the math for us.

Glad I could help feel free to swipe it.
