I'm only finding an SC Cranberry Cocktail--is that what you're talking about? Or is there a straight SC cranberry that I'm not locating for some reason?

Just Cranberry — no cocktail. I just checked VapersTek and they no longer list it. This leaves VZ unless you want to try TFA.

I was gifted 2 of those Baby Beast whatever smok tanks quite awhile back but I've never even tried them due to the huge dt's. That's what I just ordered the adaptors for. I'll probably end up piffing the low sub ohm stuff. Don't really care much for under .5.

I have the rta\rda piece where you can put in whatever resistance of coil you prefer. It is a dual but if you build using 1.0 resistance coils then that would give you the .50 you like. Or you can use any coil you like. The stock coils do like high watts and i only use those rarely. Let me know if that would be something you would like to try and when i get back to WV next week i can send you one or two.

    Agree. Instead of two years, as I understand it the plaintiffs are asking for PMTA's to be submitted within 4 months.
    Yes,that's what it sounds like. If nothing changes we could have as little as 10 months.

    What is the PJReid version?

    I used VT Sour Lemon and VT Lemonade Clear.

    Shattered Lemon
    Fizzy Sherbet (VTA) 5%
    Lemon (FE) 2%
    Lemonade Clear (VTA) 3%
    Sour Lemon (VTA) 2% (or use FA Lemon Sicily or INW Shisha Lemon
    SugarDaddy (Reg) (Rick's) 1% (or your favorite sweetener)
    WS-23 30% 1.5% (or to taste)
    It really is a S&V recipe. The LA Lemonade is good right off for me. I let it sit overnight just to settle. The VTA Lemonade is better after a week.

    I will send a note to Bull City about the Super Concentrated Cranberry Flavoring. It is, IMO, the best cranberry I have tried but is obviously not popular. Maybe other cranberry lovers could request it from Bull City as well. It would be a natural at ECX for the FE line so that might be worth a try. I don't know what I would do if this goes away.

    Off to buy some LARGE bottles from VZ.

    Just one would be fine.:) Thank you much. Then I could at least try the tank out. I'm never going to use the coils it came with. They are absolutely huge.

    Was there a reason for not mixing the original recipe from Nick? We’re you guys subbing or just tailoring it to suit your taste?

    I am using one of the stock coils now. Rated at .25. Its the M2 i think. I can run it for about a month- depending on juice used. Its at 21 watts right now but as the month continues and it starts to wear a bit then i have to up the watts some. Never have gone over 30 but its not hot. I like a cool vape. Using a 510 drip tip with an adapter it vapes more like my other tanks. Most of my other tanks are the Zeus 2 and the Intake both are rta and single coil.

    Clearing the cache won't do much. Cleaning out specific cookies may. Setting your browser to "do not track" will help a bit, but not all sites respect it. Installing an ad-blocker app to your browser (I use Ad-Block Plus on Firefox) will help quite a bit.

    I use Adblock Plus and Firefox also. I run cache cleaners and malware scanners, too. Sites seem find a way to get around the scanners.

    I've considered creating a VPN and may do that in the future.

    My reason was that I don't have and didn't want to buy FLV Lemonade. I subbed VTA Sour Lemon for the Lemony Sicily because I think it is a better lemon and doesn't fade as quickly. I am sure the recipe is delicious as Nick originally wrote it.

    Well,in that case I'll try the coils once I get the adapters. I haven't bought a new rta tank in forever outside of the Ehpro True which I haven't even used yet. I have 2-3 Kanger subtanks that I use with the RBA once in awhile.Have an Aromamizer I haven't used in quite awhile. You collect a lot of stuff in 10 years of vaping.

    I was thinking about ordering the cranberry from VZ but they want $5 shipping to ship two 10ml bottles. I'm not sure if I want it that bad. Is it really worth it? There really isn't anything else that I want from there that I know of.

    How do you create a VPN? I pay for mine.

    It is, for me, the best cranberry flavor. I don't like FLV Cranberry - I can't get the dirt taste to steep away. :D TFA Cranberry is good but I need to use 7% to get the same flavor I get from 3% of the super concentrate.

    I wrote to Vaperstek and they responded quite quickly that they discontinued the Cranberry SC due to lack of interest. I just don't think that many people know about it. They offered to order a liter for me if I want it. IDK if I want that much but it might work out better than constantly not being able to find it. I order nicotine from them so that does kind of make sense. A liter is a lot though. LOL

    I don't like TFA Cranberry because I can't vape it fast enough. For the first few days I love the tartness but in less than a week it starts turning sweet to the point of yuck.

    I do like the FLV Cranberry.It's not super tart but it doesn't fade.

    I can't yet comment on the SC Cranberry. I did buy it but haven't done anything with it as yet. Life hit me with a few bricks and I'm trying to get back to whatever is my new normal now.

    I do have a couple questions which I'll take one at a time. I bought a scale awhile back and I never calibrated it which I want to do. I have the SF-400D. Question is how do I calibrate the scale? I do not have weights. If I need them I'll have to get some.
