Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Debadoo]

Very true Gary!! I love fresh strawberries, but don't like sb milkshakes, ice cream etc. I mean it's ok, but sb flavor is just not one of my favs. However... first time I tried a SB pie juice that tasted like it had fresh whipped cream........man was I hooked!!

I'm a chocolate and coffee fiend, but have not been fond of any coffee or chocolate juices I've tried. In fact, several coffee juices have made me literally sick to my stomach after bout 1/2 a tank

 

[garyoa1]

I've always got a cup o joe in my hand. But have yet to find a good coffee vape. I did stumble across a couple chocolates tho.

I did stumble across a couple chocolates tho.

Quit holdin out man..........which ones??? lol

 

[bigbells]

My all-day vape for a while now is FA Orange flavor at 10% (with a few drops of lemon juice added that makes it "pop".) But when I first started vaping, it had to be a tobacco/menthol flavored joose. I never hated the taste of smoking, in fact I loved it. Vaping gives me the same enjoyment without the health penalties.

I keep tellin folks, quack's gizzard juice. More of a cocoa, vanilla, caramel and dunno what else. Been my ADV forever.

And they got a new chocolate one... quack snack. Got a bottle on the shelf but didn't try it yet.

But that being said... I love it. Have contemplated drinkin' the stuff! But that doesn't mean you will like it!!!! We iz all different!

Oh, and liberty stix chocolate ain't bad either. Not amazing, but not bad.

You guys are making me feel bad that I still vape something that tastes like a smoke. I guess it keeps me off stinkies so it's ok. I've posted several times lately that I am definitely looking for some new flavors.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

That I didn't care for the taste of tobacco to begin with probably had a lot to do with it. Just a guess from what people have said over time on ECF, about 10% use tobacco flavor after converting completely. Chin up, if you like it who cares what anybody thinks.

 

[Modapa]

I keep a steady supply of atomizers, batteries and tips and have tons of e-liquid on hand at all times....when the batteries stop holding a charge for very long, I just replace them. Same with the atomizers. I would say the device I started with is probably long gone, lol.

Got a question for you dual battery, DNA 40 guys! What's considered the best battery's to use these days and how close to the same do they have to be? I have a couple of Sony 30a I bought about a year ago and have used both of them a little but not very much. I don't know if they've been though the same amount of cycles or not but there probably close. Bought them at the same time just never tracked there use. I do have a couple fresh ones on the way and will keep them as a pair. I use mostly AW 18650s. I bought the Sonys for mech dripping but I never really liked it. My Patriot and Orijen sit idle. I never really thought about it but Im guessing you need a paired set so you get an even pull from both without over taxing one more that the other, right?

I said it befor and will probably say it hundreds of times more...
Vape what flavor(s) you LIKE. I have a friend at work that hates smoking... I told him about my DIY flavors over a year ago... For Haloween 2013, he actually ordered TFA tobacco of some sort and made candy with it as a joke. He makes some every other month now because he likes it.
Still hates smoking though. And he doesn't vape, and doesn't want to.

 

[garyoa1]

Agreed, Ken. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just that I discovered flavors after 54 years of 3pad smokin and never wanted to quit. Loved cigs. Just sayin there could be somethin out there that will satisfy even more than smoking.

 

[PapaSloth]

I can't wait to try that Tigers Blood recipe. Strawberry, Watermelon and Coconut.

I made some of that, and it's good! I ended up adding a little sweetener to it, which you might not want or need.

 

[Modapa]

I tried a lot of flavors and still try different ones from time to time but I've been using black coffee for quite a while and it's my go-to flavor. I get all of my stuff from litecig. They get stuff to me no matter where I am in a matter of a couple of days.

 

[DavidOck]

So for 1.8 with 2mm it's about 30g 7-8 wraps, & 11-12 for 28g.

Yup! Sounds like you've got it figured out just fine.

Just remember that the calc is a starting point, not an absolute. the manufacturing uniformity of the wire can vary, and it doesn't take much to have an effect. How tightly you make the wraps will affect the total length of the wire, which, along with the chosen gauge, is what determines the coil's final resistance.

So get your baseline from the calculator, mount your coil and check Ω. Make a note somewhere on turns and value Makes making the next one easier, despite CRS

I've always been told they should be a married pair purchased together and charged together. I haven't quite figured out why as long as they are close to the same age, brand, model, capacity, etc. Why you couldn't charge them to the same voltage then marry them. Probably could. I have a dual battery mod coming and I might try it, I really don't think it's that critical.

Great folks aren't they? I've bought quite a bit from them. Always quick shipping, fair prices and good quality, they're close to me so it gets here quick too.

for me, there is. I like strawberry lemonade(Freckled Lemonade) and tropical blends. Fruits and candies.
not too much into the bakery stuff for me.

but for many people vaping tobacco flavors satisfys even more than smoking tobacco. It's all what works for you.
THAT is what is important.

Thanks, I'll give it a try! I've got the new set coming and would like to have two set for rotation. Don't see myself using the usb port for charging much. I guess we'll see when all the stuff gets here!

 

[seminolewind]

I am sooo tired of all the new vape experts spring up all over en mass. Where did they all come from, LOL. I guess after smokers we are the new whipping post.
I wish they all would mind their own business. They will never take MY choice to vape, I am willing to limit my flavor choices to only those used in alcoholic beverages. Those flavors don't seem to be attracting kids.

 

[Slots]

I have several tobacco flavors that I enjoy, so add me to those 5
But do they taste like cigs? NO WAY!
Maybe some over or undertones of various pipe tobaccos, but not cigs...

Exactly, .. I have a ton of tobacco flavors that I love, but I would not call them 'tobacco"
They taste NOthing like a cig.

Here's an online calculator then
Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
Just bookmark it for easy access.

How come I never saw that before Thanks
I've got it all down pat right now, for the tanks I'm using, but when I start using some of the different equipment I have stashed, I'll be needing it.

I can't wait to try that Tigers Blood recipe. Strawberry, Watermelon and Coconut.

it does sound good doesn't it.
My problem is I've tried 8 different Coconuts, and there is just NO flavor to these destroyed taste buds.
I know it's a delicate flavor to start with, but, you would think I could add enough % to get a coconut taste ...nope

Trouble is... so many flavors really suck! Depends on who makes it.

You are SOoo right about that.
I have the same flavor from several different company's, and none of them taste the same.
When (and IF) I have found the best one, the rest of them go into muffins, ice cream, cookies, smoothies ... in other words, the kitchen, so it's not a total loss.
It would be nice if I didn't have to find the "pick of the litter" in a scattering of different company's.

Did a dripper build the coils on the last one must have broken ohms went 0.5 - 5.5.

This one is 0.4Ω its not that even but on this atty you can't glow the coils and squeeze them together - just snaps the wire.
Its functioning good.
26 gauge 2.5mm 5.5 wraps.

Can get wraps 2 onwards reasonably ok but often get a gap between the first and second wrap , sometimes i'm able to squinch it together a bit.
Or unwind the first wrap and try to wrap it closer but then you have a bend.

Lemo is still going great 1.8Ω in that one.
