I got my e-solid kit with MEdium RY4 and Strawberry. It works pretty darn good, it's like a dripper. Excellent flavor vapor, very surprised at the performance so far. I get about 6-10 vapes per dollop of solid, and the vapor is excellent @ about 3.8v on my Spinner. I don't see a huge advantage other than a few more vapes per application over liquid.

Also note it is glass, and the flavor is excellent.

added: I vape 11mg Hush, and the medium e-solid is very strong, I'm nic sick lol.

So after being ripped off by someone using my credit card I'm going hyper paranoid and got a net spend card i was planning on loading from PayPal. Didnt work, something about same account holder yada yada can't transfer from another person...

So tried my debit card to load but have to wait for the bank to open to post the test charge...grrr

All i wanna do is buy three of the taj's and the rest of my cart, hold on to three for me Dan and bad!

BTW gonna pass on the paste, I've found my sweet spot for juice, and atty (agi) dunno how I feel about a paste.

Dome Dripper and e-Solid
Got mine yesterday and must say this works pretty good. Ordered two tubes of the solid hoping to get at least one fruit flavor but both were tobacco blends, not really into these blends but for the price what the heck. As for the dripper, I like the fact it is a glass tube. Only problem I see is that it doesnt fit very well to the base, very loose fitting and as it heats seems to become worse, maybe a slightly bigger o-ring is needed here. As for the paste, it does have a great throat hit, and loads of vapor ! Also think the nic rating may be slightly under the actually levels, I normally vape 24mg and the high(18mg) was very strong to me. After vaping the first application of paste, 4-5 good vapes I felt a bit light-headedness that I don't normally get from a liquid. Will report back as I use it more after work, definitely don't trust the dome to stay in place all day as loose as it is. I feel overall this is a great product and glad I was able to try it out. Would rather have tried it out with maybe a fruitier blend as this is my vape of choice but as I said it does produce great throat hits and tons of vapor. Thanks GV for putting this to Alpha for us to try.

If anybody wants my paste just PM. Pay shipping and its yours. Its way to strong for me. Ive got Strawberry Med, State Express High, Banana High, and RY4 Med

So I rebuilt 1 of my bulbs last nighe. I installed long wicks to go to the bottom of the bulb. New coil at 1.5Ω. The bulb actually held juice for a few hrs. It did seep out overnight. Some of it, not all. I think a larger o ring is in order.

I wonder how accurately one could do a titration on this paste. Has anyone tried? Since it's a paste, I haven't a clue if it the math even works out the same. Of course, it would also have to be water soluble - at least that's the usual solution used, but I would assume PG should work too.

 

[Gr8Scott]

Has anybody put aside the element of the paste factor and just tried dripping straight eLiquid on the dome device? Or would its design not allow this?

I had thought about doing that and it should really work fine - I believe it's still just coil around silica, but given the wick size, you'll only get a drop/two out of each until you stuff a different wick in there. Has anyone disassembled theirs [yet]? I was curious how easy/difficult it would be for rebuilding.

How was the rebuild process? On par with a stardust or...?

Its identical to the original Vivi Nova bases (heads). The cup un-threads and the post its attached to comes w it. There are 2 holes in the bottom of the cup for the wires. Then a gasket and center pin to trap the wires. I didnt use NR legs so the post started to get warm

i got a few tubes and a couple domes, and i've done my fair share of experimentation...i'm not so sure about this stuff. it produces vapor, and it turns into liquid quickly. i think the novelty factor won't stick. the glass dome tanks look kind of...i don't know how to say this politically correctly, but the dome on top of the ego makes it look kind of "street illegal", if you know what i mean. and i can't really say i love the taste of the pastes i've tried... they taste kind of lo-quality. i was kind of excited to try this stuff out, and i'm not completely throwing in the towel here, but my first impression is "meh". you can definitely taste the nicotine in the "high" nic paste, and the taste of the strawberry stuff kind of reminds me of air freshener from the convenience store. i think it needs a lot of tweaking before it goes any further. however, i'm still gonna mess with it, because i'm a bit masochistic, and i've got a few minutes to kill. i will report back in a few days to let you all know if my feelings have changed.

this isnt about looks or what other users use ecig products for, these are ecig products first and we dont care what other people in the different world use ecig products for but here thats all we discuss so refrain about mentioning anything else not pertaining to ecigs., its about how it works, and what you guys think about its performance, many form factors can be made and many new types of ways of cooking the solid ejuice are being made.

 

[zipflint]

I agree. Let's keep the new gadgets and innovations coming!

I for one am happy to be doing this for the community. It really does kick up the nic absorption on inhale. I have other flavors coming from another tester. Once I have a flavor I like better I will give a detailed report. Don't want my dislike of the taste to taint the results of my input.

[sgenn99]

I love the idea of new technology and gadgets. Not crazy about the form factor as is, but I can look past it and continue to experiment with the paste. Still not bowled over by the flavors and still think it needs tweaking. Again, I know this is early on in the Alpha phase, and it is all new. So far, the idea of it is interesting enough to keep playing around with, but overall, the vapor production is decent, you can feel the nic kick faster, and it is kind of neat.

 

[obsidianchao]

I'm not an alpha member, but my 2 cents on the dome look - I honestly think it could help people like me, who used to be into harder stuff, and quit using ecigs. Just a thought.

Alright, I'll quit bugging you alpha members now.

 

[zipflint]

That is an interesting perspective, and one I certainly had not considered. I'm pretty sure that wasn't what the design was intended for, but still. Thanks for bringing that up.

I'm going to be 100% honest: I've seen this design, the exact thing, go for $50 on some websites for vaping extracts (although who extracts tobacco?). It was TOTALLY intended that way, at first...


... but then someone was like, "I have a good idea."

Edit: I don't mean t badmouth the product due to its origins, just to clarify. I think e-solid is a great idea.

 

[bassmonster]

A little OT maybe, but are we still expecting the Tesla to make its way here? I've been waiting, and may want to swoop the K200 if Tesla has been nixed...

 

[badkolo]

i nixed the tesla at the begjing out of respect to a vendor that paid a lot to have them made for them initialy, they should be coming soon.

and to the posters above, what did i say about any discussion not pertaining to ecigs. ???
