I just wanted to thank everyone on here for the helpful information you have given. Was on another theard and the poster said everyone on ECF was rude and didn't want to help new people. To be honest it mad me mad because I see how much people on here try to help and you give your time and energy to help out and don't deserve to be slammed that way so thank you very much.
I started in the newbie forms also, & promptly left because of all the childish slamming & flat bad info to beginners. But I'd already been on You Tube researching beginner vaper videos some, so I knew enough to stay away from mechs & subohm stuff. Vv/vw were just taking off & the MVP 2.O & nautilus tanks were new. I came to ECF again with a little more info got in my 5 posts, & began to surf the forums, staying away from those that were ugly or full of kids & clouds-bro. I know everyone has their own vape style, but some of these peopke need to be cut off until they learn some manners & how to vape safe. No one just staring out needs a mech or tc or rebuildable atty. Learn the basics, find your juicr, & nic level, keep it simpke & straight forward & move up as you start to understand these things. I still don't go to the newbie forums because it's like a free for all.

As someone who Subohms a dual coil dripper on a REO even I think that is a bad place for the new to start. ;)
Yes. But is that where you started? I have no idea where or how people began vaping before, since I started with an ego CE54 blister pack. And moved up to a vv/vw. I didn't even go to a Spinner next.

Mike & Janet have promoted pom fer a looong time.

Tried their pom mix last week at da PO and have it on my 'get' list!

Just call your new recipe Serendipity...
Ok, @JanetH, you need to share that recipe! I just mixed a key lime pie that I think I got from @MrsC. It is really good, too! I'm so happy I can finally vape fruits! Seems I have to stick to single, possibly 2 fruit mixes tho. And can't do tropicals yet.

Thatz provided you WANT to move up. If you find your perfect spot... moving up is only from peer pressure. :)

I picked up the flavor to try and duplicate the NJoy pomegranate that I actually like that is both too strong and too expensive. In actual taste though it is not even close.

I think the trick to the Flavor Art Pomegranate flavor might be that it really needs mixed with something else. Alone I am not really sure what it tastes like but it is not Pomegranate, mixed it becomes more fruity and less medicinal(for lack of a better word).
I agree I didn't care for it at all. Tastes are subjective.

I started with pencil batteries and atomizers with a tip on that you put aquarium filter or tea bags in. Got all my stuff from Vape4life. That was some hard vaping. Sometimes it works sometimes I'd burn them up. The atomizers lasted about 3 or 4 days if I didn't burn them out. I was still working at the railroad at a desk job after I lost my legs and I'd plug them into my computer by way of a USB plug.

You started off with better than I did. I started with that horrid thing that was the Joyetech Ego-C Tank system. ;) I thought I was in heaven when I moved up to a CE-5. Now I will admit I jumped from there to the REO.

Like I said I do not advocate rebuilding or subohming for new vapers.

Have you ever had watermelon that tasted like or close to the real thing?
I have mostly flavour art flavors, some capella, and some inawera. I have only used the watermelon in one mix, and it was a recipe that came from someone who is really good at making recipes from FA flavors. I didn't like it at all. I will try some by itself to see what I think of it and let you know, but remind me, cuz I'll likely forget.
In all fairness, I didn't have everything he said to use in the recipe so I did improvise a little, but I had most of it. But it was the one thing I've mixed that was really unvapeable for me. I do need to try it again now that it's steeped for several months

It's a straight up 1 flav recipe. 18% Pom (Flavor Apprentice) & 1.5% Lemon Juice. That's it.

Someone please tell me what I did. I got FT vapemail today. Five sets of kayfun parts to turn five of my Orchids into Kayfuns. One base was defective. The tube in the inside of the inside airhole was projecting above the block. I put a coil on it, and it was an open connection. I fixed the projecting tube by putting an o-ring under the block. Reassembled, and now it works. Why did that fix it?
Update on that base. It is now in the action, and it is crooked on my mod. The lower band is thicker on the side with the holes than on the plain side. Only a mm or so off, but it looks downright odd. If someone is willing to do the relay thing, I will need couple of pictures to file a complaint.

It does look odd, although it works.

Really? I have never run into an issue using paypal to buy anything off Fasttech. That is the first I have heard of that.

@Myrany I quoted the wrong post so disregard that it sounds as if I'm your own personal echo chamber. LOL

PayPal is not a problem with FT. You can, however, make it one if you put anything in the memo or notes about paying for ecig stuff. Leave the memo blank......always.

A tale of Provarinatitarianism:

Back on Black Friday I bought five supposedly blemished Provari 2.5 mods because the price seemed too good to pass up. I had planned to get them all into other hands without ever using one myself. In fact, I could not use one because I didn't have any batteries for them and I was not inclined to buy yet another battery size.

But, months later, I had only pawned off 3 of them on other unsuspecting souls.

So, I ended up buying an extension cap from Provape a little over a week ago so that I could use the one button-top 18650 that I do have.

Big mistake... I'm being drawn by some prime evil primeval force to the vapor quality. I mean, it couldn't really be true that Provaris have some kind of smoother power delivery system, could it? It's just my imagination, right?

Newp. The provari vapes very well. Still, not my fav. And yes, the mod does make a difference. No clue why, but they do. Which is why I still favor the old SVD over everything else. Itz da flaver stoopid! :)

I wonder if the fact that I was mixing it at 3% and no lemon juice had anything to do with the wierdo taste. I may have to try Janets recipe and see how it goes.

Oh holding the middle button changes between nickel and power you want power. Just read the screen.

On the 40W you can expand the options to also use Ti coils. I've forgotten the button combination to do that but I'm sure it can be found with Gooooooooooooooooogle.
