Hey I think a scale is pretty exciting.To me anyway:)
For me it was frustrating. Some scales have a lag time for reading, granted it is only a few seconds but you still have to pause before continuing to add ingredients. Its not like the syringe that once you measure you put it in the bottle and move to the next flavor. Using a scale felt like it was slowing me down and it irritated me. LOL

    Yes, I have a few Zeus tanks and a few of the Intake. I really don't like to coil and wick the Zeus because I have pre made coils and always have to put them in with legs on top so that the coil body is inverted down and it takes a long time for me to trap those. I really like the 24 gauge Titanium and I have the 26 gauge also. I keep forgetting that that I decided to use the 26 gauge on the Zeus bc coil trapping is easier than the thicker ones and fight putting in the larger. Old habits die hard. LOL

    I use the coilology 316 flat braided coils in mine. The way they are wound, they align with the wick slots and run great around 25-30 watts and work decent in temp control also.

    What size is the wire used? Also my preference in wire is Titanium. Hard to find premade coils that use it. I have tried everything else(except NI) and for me the flavor and length of time lasting just does not come close to what I get with titanium.

    Especially since it's a multi-use tool. I have a recipe for homemade Biscoff speculoos that calls for teeny tiny amounts of some spices. It'll be way easier to follow with a scale that goes down far enough.

    I just opened my blue kroma kit. I really like the dark blue. I’m going to wait to try the tank with it. I already had a Zeus ready with some of the dumbledore mix I loaded earlier. I like the dumbledore quite a bit. I never did go back and do a mix with the sour ball candy.

    Do you use the OoO Lemon Round Candy in the Dumbledore?

    I just realized I have three scales... too many years in the lab I guess, every area had a scale specific for it for safety. I have a kitchen scale, one in the laundry room to weigh out the cat’s food, one in the shop (weigh out laquer chips), and mine for mixing. Wait, four:blink:. I’d still like a smaller one for mixing that goes to .001. My other two indoor ones only go to first digit

    Before totally getting rid of the syringes, you may still need some of the long ones to reach into big bottles for one reason or another and the smaller needles can be use by taking some of the flavoring into the syringe and using that as a dropper? Just a thought.

    :)

    Plus it’s easier to get the nic out in small amounts.

    I use these a lot and some of there other coils. I hate Ni as I seem to be able to taste the metal. I havent had any issue with these.

    LOL. I have several ss sized coils from Advanced Vape and then I found I just really like the titanium much better, so I have them in my coil drawer in case I do have to go back to them someday...
