Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[bigbells]

@bigbells uses stevia, I think. Let's try to get him in here. No worries about the "adding to my tummy" part. You couldn't vape enough stevia to do that without getting sick!

For me sweet is 5 drops of NuStevia liquid per 120 ml bottle of ejuice. Really sweet is 10 drops.

I have not used any sweetener for a couple of years now, but here's what I've done in the past:

I used more than Robert does, as much as 10% in fact. Anywhere from 1% to 10%. I know that's odd coming from somebody who doesn't add sweetener at present.

The thing I like best about liquid stevia is that for me, it keeps getting sweeter when you add more. Sucralose seemed to me to reach a saturation point where it stopped getting sweeter. Also, stevia in vapor does not have the slight off-taste that made me stop using it in my coffee.

@Robert Cromwell and @bigbells, thanks! Wasn't my question, but when ya got a craving, welp ...

Well my Q will be here today Maybe I'll put this Merlin on for a pic but I'm going to get rid of them or put them away will stick to the STM or TTM. Hey anyone know of a good TC atty that isn't too radical. This Merlin is just not for me. Maybe I'll get a K5 to try how are they. But for now the STM is perfect for me might get a couple three more. The Merlin with the air restricter in is too tight wide open and with out it is too open even with the af completely closed.

Ok. I may want more, since 4 drops per KayFun seems to about hit it so far....

I thought that the stevia was better than Sucralose... Maybe I heard or saw you say it before.

and what a craving!! I'm pre-diabetic, and my blood sugar was getting up to 189!!! That no good. That bad.

Wish I could say. Many of the devices are TC, so I have some... But I've never used the feature.

You Know I was thinkin with those Top Tanks if you vaped the juice down to the juice holes and then tipped it partially on it's side when you break the seal with the top you could probably fill them from the top and not get juice all over you or flood it. Ya think that would work?

Are you talking about the replacement parts for the Kanger Subtank that you can buy from Fasttech, that supposedly have top fill capability? If so, I gave up on them. Since both of my Kanger Subtanks are 25 mm models, I had to also buy the glass. The glass is thin and fragile. They're the only glass tanks I've ever broken, and I broke both of them that I bought from FT. Then, the leaking. Bad, not worth the saved effort of top fill. Plus, they had to be filled with a needle-tip container (I used a 10 ml syringe). When I went back to using bottom fill, I was like gee, this really isn't much trouble anyway, and minimal leakage!

No I mean the real Kanger Top Tanks from MVS

Don't do it for a few days. Don't ask, just don't.

 

[bigbells]

Those tanks tend to leak too?

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I have some of the the FT topfill top part for a STM V2. I use the RBA and so far they work great. No leaky at all not even a gurgle after filling.
The holes are small and a unicorn bottle works fine or a needle bottle. Dropper no go.
But since I have totally switched to unicorn bottles....
Will likely order 2-3 more of those tops. The standard height version must hold close to 5 ml.

 

[2legsshrt]

OK heres proof

Don't do it for a few days. Don't ask, just don't.

 

[2legsshrt]

OK???

 

[2legsshrt]

Wow it's like it has more poop then my others at the same setting. Not sure why but it sure makes my flavor more pronounced.

 

[2legsshrt]

Man this paint on this is just like on a car with like 3 or 4 coat of clear Coat on it. Really feels nice. Makes me feel frisky.

 

[Iffy]

Makes me feel frisky.

Speakin' of, how ya doin' wid your 'leg(s)'?

 

[2legsshrt]

Well they seem to be ok had another adjustment on them and it's been about 2 weeks. I am able to wear my cushier inner liners but only a 1 ply sock instead of a 3ply like it should be but they aren't bothering me anymore. Think they'll be ok for our trip. Still will take one of my old pair just in case plus a range of socks.

Woohoo! Nice to be pleased w/ a new purchase.

Leggs, I know I'm not nearly as "experienced" as most of the folks here BUT we have had tremendous success and satisfaction from our "genuine" Kanger top fills. They are the nanos that come with the Subvod kit but many have high praise for the top tank mini (4.5 ml.) w/RBA and that is likely the route we will take when we purchase stockpile tanks w/RBA's/RTA's. No leaks EVER, super easy fills w/plastic tips (unicorns?) and though I don't have anything to compare it to, a very satisfying draw from "I'm gonna cave my temples in!" to "WOW! That's A LOT of air!"

Schweet mod, BTW.

... but they aren't bothering me anymore. Think they'll be ok for our trip.

Dat's gotta be a relief! Let's hope so...
