Well I got some vape mail today.I got a new 900 mah auto ego to use with my Kuwako and decided to get a cobra rebuildable to try. I'm very happy with the performance of the auto ego but the Cobra is a little too much for me. I thought it would be useable out of the box but by the time I got it apart it was a mess. lol Naturally it didn't come with directions. I guess I will find some directions when I feel better and feel like messing with it. I got the 900 auto from Mountain Vapor - High quality e-cigarettes, liquids and accessories. and it seems to be a very good auto which are hard to find.
Hey Tx where did you buy your cobra????
I need some juice advice, plz, ya'll....
I am going to order a few flavors from myfreedomsmokes, as I have read that they are strong.
Howev.... there are choices that I am unfamiliar with:
1. Extra Strong Flavor (May need to be reduced) - what does "reduced" mean? Too thick consistency or just a warning that it might be too strong?
2. Mix: 100% PG, Some VG 15%, Extra VG 40% - I have NO CLUE what to choose here. The only juices I've tried thus far were from SI and I don't know what "mix" those were. I am still using a VOLT and a NANO, which I assume that might matter...?
TIA

CharlieGirl, what I've heard is end of the month, so I hope we'll begin seeing them then. Will keep my eyes peeled and beat feet to tell everyone if'n I see em
Okay...what I like about the eVod, so far. The flavor is good, and clean tasting. Been using it very regularly for about a week with NO DRY HITS ... I think even Iffy might like it! Good Vapor production and as a plus, more throat hit than anything I've used in the past. Throat hit is least important to me, but a nice plus. It has not gurgled even once - loving that!
I like that only the coil itself has to be replaced rather than the whole coil/base assembly like the T3 so the cost is lower. I can't say yet how I like longevity and cost to maintain as I haven't had it long enough, but I'm hopeful I will like that part as well.
I had read that the coil heads can be rebuilt but geez those things are tiny. One would need vision like Superman or something. I haven't yet been able to get the round thingy off to actually SEE the coil, but I know it does come off. I guess I just need to work a little harder at it.

I do not diy and the extra strong I only ordered once- to me it ruined the flavor- for others it may be perfect. As for vg/pg.. ppl say pg offers more flavor and throat hit while vg offers more vapor. You may want to try the least vg since you want more flavor- or some vg. It really becomes a testing game, per se. I developed a reaction to 100% pg abt seven months into vaping... aagghhhh, lol. So I stick to mainly vg. Hope you find what works for you. I send ppl to them all the tine.
And congrats on the 3 days- it will be 30 before you know it! Drink lots of water always- when you want a cigarette, just vape thru it- when your taste buds get weird, vape thru it. This is awesome and freedom!

Well - that does look nice and looks like it would be very easy to use. How does it compare in size to the eGo 650 twist? I just bought a little (well I hope it is little) eGo 350 Mah for times when I want something stealthy. No more shopping this month for me - but there is always the wish list.
It is about an inch longer than a standard ego 650 but I'm not sure about the Twist I don't have one with me to measure.

Wow tex, you jumped in with both feet starting off with a Cobra. When you get back to it, if I can help answer any questions - well here I am.
Thanks Mike I was counting on that.
Has anyone tried these new bottom coil tanks from 3.5ml VapeOnly BCC (Bottom Coil Changeable) Clearomizer They look very similar to the Vivi Nova except it has a bottom coil. I ordered a couple to try and will let you know how I like them. They are 12.99 with free shipping and come with three coil heads like the Vivi Nova does.

re: reaction to 100% PG...? Like... what happened?
ITA w/ probably a lesser VG, so I might go w/ the 15% VG.
SO far I'm not craving any cigs. As a matter of fact, any juice that even mildly tastes like a cig is just gross. I don't ever want to taste tobacco again. I am loving this vaping thing, but I gotta find some juices that I can taste. Other than cinn & mint!
Thanks for you help!
Natasha, cinnamon and mint are good Right after I quit I vaped a cinnamon/apple and a menthol. Could taste those As time went one I liked bakery flavors and sweet ones. You might try butterscotch though. It's one I can taste and I have trouble tasting most juices even now. I also like a cinnamon roll and Kona Cream. Kona is a strong flavor, not for everyone though.

LOL.. well I am going to be really
if 435 days from now I STILL can't taste most juices!
LOL Natasha..guess that's what I get for smoking 2+ packs a day for 44 years. I just have to kick up the flavoring to taste the juice
Thanks Tx. I imagine if it is longer than the standard ego 650 - then this mini 350 will smaller. Mainly just curious - since I am not ordering anything more this month
LOL.. well I am going to be really
Natasha, I smoked for 46 years and I too feel most of the time that my taste buds are duds. When I first started I would read about others vaping all the wonderful tasting juices. Since I started with a small cig like that actually did not have much taste - I actually found that when I got my twists that the first ejuice I vaped was almost too strong.
Gradually as I got used to the better equipment - I did adjust to that juice. However, my tastes have continued to change. I have just gone thru another bout of not being able to taste much - which is frustrating. For me - I just continued to try different flavors and actually for a day - just vaped unflavored.
All I can say it to just try to buy smaller sizes - since even if you find something you like - that could even change by the time you finish that sample. Right now I am really enjoying peppermint - just really happy that I can actually taste it.
Natasha, I order often from SI and, from what I've been told, most of their stuff is not 100% pg, but mostly (maybe 80-90%). It's pretty "runny" compared to, let's say, BWB's 60/40 that I have. Don't know if that helps or not. I've also read that vg "doesn't carry the flavor" as well as pg. If I understand it correctly, they're saying that DIYing heavily vg juice, you'd need more flavoring in it than in heavily pg juice.
That said, and just to muddy the juice even worse: I've wondered if heavily vg juices don't just need to steep awhile for the flavor to come out. That 60/40 I have was one I didn't like much when I first got it. Tried it again after a couple of weeks and still wasn't crazy about it. Pitched it in the drawer last summer and, on a whim, got it out a few days ago ... shazam! It's great now! LOL
I'm no help at all on the varieties of flavors other than tobacco.

I started itching and my face was breaking out so I switched to VG. It seems I can now handle a little bit of PG but imho its also based on the purity of the product to begin with. I def prefer organic, etc., so Virgin Vapor is a great vendor- her vg juice is thin enough not to be an issue. It helps to read the Spinfuel reviews- just google that and add yourself to their mailing list. Vape Dudes has become a new vendor for me that seems to have a few I can taste. I mainly used MyFreedomSmokes for my Marlboro-like flavor- after 17 months I just discovered it is made in China- guess I failed to ask first- so I am now on the search for a replacement since I do not want overseas juice.
......I went almost immediately from tobacco to cherry flavor ....which I still like ...and I have tried lots of fruit flavors, still like cherry the best ...then I found cotton candy ....and that was it .....I mix it with fruit flavors but I like it a lot by itself .....
OK I admit it...I have a major sweet tooth !
and of course, I am an extremist ....so max nicotine, max flavor, and I am still trying to figure out how to balance the vg and the other one ....
