Right behind you...
Yeah, mine sits in Grovenor or whatever for a few hours, then hits Rochester and is on a plane to Tampa usually within 12 hours of it leaving ITC. My 2-day is always 2-day, with one exception when all that snow hit the area in February. Then it was 3 days.

Could be there's less traffic to your part of Virginia than it is to the Tampa metro area, so it takes longer to get an economical load together, or there's fewer flights out for your local hub.

Just got my first order of larger sized bottles from ITC, 120ml of fufu juice and 240ml of berserker and they didn't include any spouts. How am I supposed to transfer to smaller bottles? I made a mess and spilled some trying to fill the 30ml empty bottles. The 240ml also came as two 120ml bottles but only one bottle had a label the other was just a plain bottle with no indication of what juice or strength.

I know its cheap but they should at the very least put a label on the other bottle too so I know what it is. A pour spout would be nice too, other vendors like MVP includes spouts on their large sizes.

I use a old Suicide Bunny 30ml bottle, and I get some out of the bottle (120ml) first, once the bottle is a bit less full, I do it straight up.

I complain a lot (lol), but come on now, you're really complaining that they didn't give you the pour spout for free? What is it like 59 cents? I tried the new twist pour spout last night for the first time, and damn was that easy to use. The old spout was fine, but you had to poke through it first and it was kind of annoying. The new one is perfect.

I've transferred juice without the spout before. It's kind of a pain if your juice is thicker. You just have to tilt the receiving bottle at an angle so it doesn't overflow. Some science kinda thing I wouldn't be able to explain.

Sooooo I ordered the Subtanks plus juice on Sunday night. The subtank shipped on Monday. The juice shipped on Tuesday. (I knew this when I purchased).

So why am I receiving both of them today? Seems a bit odd that my subtanks got delayed. Apparently my subtanks made a pit stop in Maryland on its way to Virgnia, while the juice didn't.

Just got my juice and my tanks a little while ago. The lemon bar smells great.

I've got a bottle of boosted and unboosted Cinnagram sitting next to each other and you can definitely smell the difference with 10% extra flavoring.

Looking forward to trying the lemon bar. Should I wait a few days or just try it tonight?

Definitely at least try it fresh.

Am I understanding correctly that if I am using a single coil EVOD with 1.8 coils and like a LOT of flavor And use 50/50 I Should probably go for the
extra flavor shot?

I personally just got back into tanks. I use the subohm ones mostly- but I prefer 50/50 extra FS. Partly bc I am spoiled from the intense flavor of dripping and compensate that with the FS and I prefer 50/50 even though my tanks can handle higher vg because I can chain vape all I want and due to it being a tank system it's better for flavor IMHO. Certain flavors I don't do a FS in. I always try without first.

Bruce, are you using Kanger factory coils wicked with silica? If so, or if you're rebuilding the heads using silica, I would say 50/50 would be the way to go. The FS adds 10% extra flavor, so it's not a huge amount but may well compensate for any loss of flavor due to the silica, and 50/50 will compensate for the silica's wicking properties- which I found to be inferior to rayon wicking especially is using thicker juices. But the only way to get rayon wicks in a Kanger head is to rebuild them yourself.

I picked up a set of 4 small plastic funnels from Bed, Bath, & Beyond roughly 8 months ago for $2.00. Transferring from bottle to bottle, regardless of size, couldn't be easier.

Just got in my 3rd order from ITCVapes. Shipping is slow, but I love their product. How can I go wrong for $20 for 120ml of fantastic juice? I have yet to find one I hate. No nasty chemical taste and the flavors are on point without any shots. I always get my juices 70VG/30PG at 3mg nic. So damn tasty!!

Sorry MBV
Sorry Vista

I am a believer.

I still use my kanger mini protank 2 as well as my rebuildables. They're rebuilt and rewicked with rayon. If you're still using stock silica coils you're missing out on a lot of flavor.

In regards to the flavor boost, I highly, highly recommend against the flavor boost on your initial trial. I used to get 2 flavor shots with every juice from MBV and they did make them taste better, sometimes.

With ITC I find the flavor boost to make the juice taste too "syrupy" if you know what I mean. They taste better without them IMO, and most people on this thread don't get them. If you really like flavor then keep the ratio 50/50 so the vg doesn't take away from it.

I recently reordered two 120ml bottles of the same juice I already have because I wasn't digging the same juice with the flavor boost.

Thanks Cobalt.

I am using the stock coils. 1.8s. So all you say is the case. I also had gathered that from Sara's post.

I'm wading through the posts here, about 60 pages down... :D

Are there some flavors that are winners FOOB? Some that Must be steeped first, no testing?

I'm not very patient and I don't have lots of other juices on deck.

I briefly tried my friend's kanger subtank tonight with the stock heads. Although they're more expensive, I'm really happy to see that the next generation of vapers can have the benefit of organic cotton wicks without having to learn how to rebuild. They're a little pricey at $3 a piece, but ITC has the best price I've seen.

A lot of good stuff in the box, including a replacement glass section. That was really a nice surprise. This is just an initial impression, but the tank is a little too airy IMO at the 2 hole and full open settings. At the 1 hole setting I found it to be a bit too restrictive. Really wide bore drip tip too.

The recommended wattage with stock coils is 12w-25w. My friend said the throat hit was too strong at 14w, so he dropped it down to 10w and is happy.

Sarah, you mentioned that you've been trying sub ohm tanks lately. Did you happen to need to drop your nicotine content with them like you did when you went to drippers?

Mine is still in the shrinkwrap. I didn't have time to try my Subtank out tonight, but probably will tomorrow along with my first taste of Lemon Bar after letting it air out for only a few hours.

Yeah, it took me a week to get through all the posts, and back then there was less than 100 pages I think. Personally, I'm a big fan of Dragon Dew. When I first got mine, it was a little strong (no flavor boost), but the flavor did not change after steeping.

Most of the flavors don't need much more than a few days after uncapping to try. Other than the ones that explicitly state 2-3 week steeping times (Cinnagram Custard, Custard #3, Orangutan), the Spoonlickers are said to taste best after a couple of weeks of steeping. Cinnagram custard actually tastes the best after a week IMO.

I did not drop my nic. I use 6mg in drippers and tanks. Just different ratios. I will list my ratings of the tanks I have tried lately:
1. Arctic .2 dual are better flavor and taste than the .5 but perfect draw to vapor and taste
2. Delta 2- certain flavors taste good in this tank vs others. Denser draw. Not airy but still smooth.
3.. Subtank- good flavor but as you said kinda airy and inconsistency of QC of coils. Some work well and others mess up quickly.
4. Atlantis- better QC of coils but I prefer the top two tanks over others.

Btw- I didn't drop Nic when I went to drippers. I actually use to drip 18mg for the longest, 12 mg last spring and summer/fall dropped to 6mg. I don't plan on dropping anytime soon.

Thanks Sarah. Sucks to hear kanger having inconsistent coils. Same friend was having issues with the expensive Nautilus coils. He doesn't rebuild, and when I rebuilt him some aerotank coils he acted like it was such a chore to pull the chimney off and saturate the wick before vaping it. He won't be rebuilding any time soon.

I just wanted to get him something that works. He also likes Mach 10 a lot like I do, so his coils probably get gunky pretty fast. But I just gave him a 120ml of Cinnagram tonight and I'm pretty sure it'll last longer.

On a separate note, I just googled ITC vapes and found their twitter.

on December 27th they tweeted "Jakob is working on a Coconut cream pie flavor, the test sample is quite amazing. I think this is going to be a new top flavor."

What happened? I tried coconut cream pie from MBV and thought it was okay but it had a really funny aftertaste. I would be willing to give ITC's version a try.

I'm sure they turned most of their attention to their investment in a retail location for the moment.
