My bad, I thought you'd found the flavor/brand you had been using. Little surprised ecigexpress doesn't even know what they were selling.

Well, it is for sure Nature's Flavors Earl Grey Tea, but they have a lot of products under that name. I can eliminate the powders and cotton candy (Earl Grey Tea cotton candy:shock:) but that still leaves a bunch of possibilities. I'm leaning towards either the concentrate which is supposedly what used to be their coffee and tea flavoring, because that's the form that I'd seen mentioned in the DIY forum, or the diacetyl free, since that seems to be aimed at vapers. I'm not quite sure what diacetyl would be doing in Earl Grey, but you never know.

From what I read, it's a really safe charger. I charge through the night and never give it a thought.
kewl. Jup, many have said they feel safer with the xtar than nitecorp. The one I have now is xtar wp2 and it's been fantastic! But I am getting to where I would really like a 4 holer now, and be able to have the 2 holer for back up since I don't have a backup charger. Plus I really like the digital read out.

Is there a way to contact them.......I would and say hey, so and so used to sell this. They quit, I really want it, what was it?!?! and while I'm at it, do you seriously charge 11.00 for shipping one lil bottle??? lol They may say, oh, no we'll only charge ya xx for one lil bottle. Some places just assume that it will take a lot to ship what you order, and if you only order a small thing they adjust the shipping so it might be worth a shot.

jup!! and unless businesses have to pay because they use so many, priority boxes are free from the PO, and so are rolls of priority tape. It's crappy tape, but they'll give it to ya lol


yay! Do you like it so far?
PO doesn.t provide the tape anymore. All the tape dispensers are gone from the counters.

are the 2 little flat head screws on the bottom for air flow control ? or should i keep them scewed all down tight ?
Not unless you don't want any airflow! I keep mine screwed in just below flush so I get enough airflow. Any more than that & it.s not enough. I slipstream lung hits anyway. If you look through the airflow holes on the sides you should be able to see all the way thru the base & out the other side. Those little screws vertically block or unblock those holes.

2 screws? usually there's one small screw for air flow and a larger one for filling? Do you have 2 screws the same size?
My dual airflow KF's have 2 screws on the bottom & 2 af holes onthe side of the base. I have a coue that only have 1 of each. I like the dual airflows.

What a pain. I'd do what Deb suggested and contact them. Looks like they are in S. California and their phone number is 714-744-3700. If they don't know offhand which one it was, they can look it up. If they won't tell you, we'll all call them. :D

Don't forget to wave the frying pan around also. :)

I kinda wondered about that. Last time I got some was 2007 when my son was deployed. They didn't do packing tape, but would give you a roll of the priority tape if you asked for it

At the risk of having someone say I've now entered 2012 :), a Kabuki tank arrived today. It takes Nauti BVC coils and produces the most flavorful vape I have ever experienced. Ever. Ever. I'm stunned.

Been seeing a lot of kudos for the Kabuki in the Radius thread. I'm still a non-believer unless I could actually try one. I think Robino is the only one over there that doesn't rave about it.

Although just the other day cleaning vape gear and getting some stuff together to PIF to our handyman ... for the heck of it I put a mini-Nauty together and vaped it. Dang, it is probably the best plug-&-play topper I've used over the years.

That's wonderful! Yay Trip!

2012?! I'm still in 2011. I think. When did the Davide come out?

Do you actually still use Davide's? I think they were the last 'clearo' type atty I used before moving completely to rebuildable. And Janet was using the Vivi Nova which used the same replaceable head. I think we've got 4 or 5 Davides, about 8 Vivi's and a couple 100 replacement heads just sitting around.

I'm outta the mod, into the charger; outta the charger, into the china cabinet. My collection of batteries defies logic! Prolly I should put a "first used" date on each one, but I'm pretty sure I'd just ignore it anyway!

We got quite the collection of batts two what w/ 2 of us vaping. After charing the go into a compartmentalized box. Then they come out on a FIFO basis to try to keep them in an even rotation for usage.

Ask Mike what he does.

OK ... so I keep a spreadsheet tracking vendor purchased from, battery brand, type/ size, purchase date, put-in-use-date. Each batt gets labeled w/ a sequential number so I can track it in the spread sheet. Keep the spreadsheet sorted by type / by in-use-date. When a batt gets around 1 1/2 years old - i just take it out of service. Try not to get in a position where all my batts of a particular size need replacing at the same time. I'm embarrassed to say how many dozens of batts we have - 18650 (button and flat), 18490's, 18350 (button & flat), even 14500's (from back when Janet had 6 or 8 Rider Robusts).

Trip is doing well. He's not up to 100% yet, but he's off meds, eating (canned food and some dry), running and playing some, head's still not on straight. But all in all doing well. The reports I've read on sever ear infections say it could be up to 2 months to get over, so we're encouraged and hopeful.
Thank you
Yay! Glad he's eating again continuing to improve!

yay!!!! so happy to hear this, and please continue to give us updates on him. So very happy for both of you!


Had to look that one up, nice lookin tank. Glad you're liking it!


with the reos I only run my batts down to just under 3.9, pop one out, put another in.......wait til I have two of em needing charged, toss em on the charger, put em back in my charged batts case. I did number em, so I'd make sure to get em rotated good. When I get my new ones I'll put the date on em. I know when I got these, cuz two of em I've had since I started vaping, and the other two I got just before panasonic quit makin the gray ones. I've got one aw imr, and when I get the new ones I need, I'll replace the pannies with more aw imr's. So 5 18650's in rotation and 3 18490's in rotation
I inherited 2 grey Panasonics with my Hana Modz v4s. I had no idea what they were, since the brand wasn't on them anywhere. I googled the model# on the side to figure it out. I'm impressed with the battery life in them.

I did hear from one guy with the NiFe52 you can wrap a coil just like Kanthal and dryburn it. That would be great.
Now that would be good as long as it doesn't have to be evenly spaced. Spacing, & temp & joules is just too much for me to want to fool with.

The Lite V2 has two air holes and two adjustment screws. Been a while since you bought a new one eh Mike?

I've got 5 full size KFLs - only 1 is an eHpro clone. Like one of the pictures Kenna posted above. It has 2 airless but only 1 air adjustment screw. Janet's got another 4 eHpro nano's and they all have 1 air hole and obviously 1 air adjustment screw.

I think the 2 hole V2's were only released by eHpro.

I thought the last one was going, turned out it was the batteries slowly wearing out. :lol: I'm not sorry I have the backup now though.

Once you've used something, anything, bigger than the 18350, you never go back.

I've heard 'talk' that size matters. :lol:

Could the Kayfun with 2 screws for airflow be the V2 Lite Plus?

Ooooh, I'm jealous. That's a nice vapocalypse stash!

That's the part I've been neglecting. I have a hard time throwing things away. But, some of my batteries are 4 years old now. Yet, when I check them, they seem to still be holding a charge. So, I can't let them go. Yet, I don't even really use the older, non-IMR batteries much anyway!
