Put a new coil and wick in a KFL yesterday, plus I replaced the plastic tank section. It had dark plastic that made it hard to see the juice so I put in a clear one. Since then I've had a major airlock going on. I can suck hard on it and drag some air through but it just happens again and now it tastes burned. Guess I'll strip it down and try again. I never understood airlocks. It's been years since that happened.

    My first new mix went in my Zlide. @Zazie with much thanks. My Zlide is very happy to get rid of the menthol mix.

    Enchanted
    FA Raspberry 2.5%
    TFA Bourbon Vanilla 1.8%
    Cap. Custard Cake 2.75%
    FA Fresh Cream 1%
    INW Shisha Raspberry 1%
    Thank you, Fran, I just mixed this one up along with a test mix that uses the new (to me) SSA Premium Raspberry.
    Raspberries are everywhere!

    Yeah, once singed it's time for a wick. Did you get bubbles after blocking the air and drawing sharply? Or maybe a bit too much wick, so it's choked off in the middle of the coil? (I've done that a couple times...)

    I'm hoping it's just the wick is too tight. Should find out tonight. And I did get bubbles when I sucked on it.

    Had another head scratcher this afternoon. I do my Lemos with 3.0 SS 28 coils, they generally start around .77 and move up to low 80's with use. But one always started around .72 and went up to around 75. Got ticked off with it for no particular reason so I dug out a never used Lemo and started from scratch. New tank, new coil, new mod, and it came in at .71. The only thing that wasn't new was the juice. Guess some mysteries never get solved.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good evening. I’m going to try to get some more done on my review tonight. With the four review samples I’ve added to rotation I’ve got quite the pile of pv’s going. I think it’s time to thin the herd again. It’s a constant battle.

    I gave a coworker a bunch of disposables today. He was happy to get them and I don’t have a pile of them sitting around.

    That’s a win for both of you.

    I drafted up a "pumpkin cranberry nut muffin with cream cheese icing" recipe. (Ichabod Cran, haha)

    I'm not very confident about it so I think I'll do it as a mini tester (@5ml, drop method, no nic) at first to see if I'm anywhere close. If it shows promise then I'll work it up to one of my regular testers.

    (I should have probably mixed Anaconda Scream as a mini first.)
