    There seems to have been a lot of interest in the Sceptre.
    I'd like to hear more about you folks' experiences with it. Good for MTL? Leaking? I like my VooPoo Air, but it leaks on and off, meaning I can't predict it nor figure out why.
    MTL with the 1.2 coils. No leaks

    I'm stocked not ready yet lol. Want to make test batches maybe 2 or 3 at a time. 0 nic since I went throrgh withdrewal while waiting on transport to replace dead old batteries & 5w mod :D
    Have VG, PG, (3ml VG nic don't want to use now) some tobacco flavors pina Colada, toasted almond (think I have strawberry & berries.) I'd like to substitute vanila & carmel sweetness for hints of pina colada & or coconut not so sweet. So 60/40 VG/PG Ratio. Consider I don't want hi watt or plumes of smoke. Mimic A Light Smooth Cigarette :thumbs: I don't think I'm vaping 5ml a day. Just a little here & there:) or when I feel like "Just 1 More Cigarette" thank U

    That's the killer for me, too sweet
    I came up with this recipe but I’d like the master mixers to give their opinions on the flavor totals. You can substitute the Pina colada with the toasted almond in a second recipe, then sub one of your fruits for a third recipe. I assumed a 10 ml test batch but I don’t know your bottle size. This would be a good start. Are you using mls (volume using syringes) or grams (weight using a scale)?

    How about this...you could vape it.View attachment 906325

    Just do a small 10 ml tester...
    :lol::lol::lol: I didn't see what you were replying to and the above quote was what was before your post, I thought for a second you were telling them to do 10 ml tests :lol::lol::lol:

    Hold the buttons? This is new to me. I've done upgrades for my Pico and Presa in the past but never had to hold any buttons? What am I missing?

    I connect my mods via USB to the computer and it recognizes them just fine. Launch the firmware updater, it does it's thing and done. Easy.

    It works even smoother with DNA mods and the software and firmware from Evolv. Same thing with the Arctic Fox firmware/software for certain mods.

    I never remove the RBA or batteries, don't need to.
    you may not need to, I donno just that both the aegis legend and topside instructions said to remove the atty and batteries .... I don't remember on my evic that's been too long ago....

    with the aegis legend you have to hold the + keys while plugging it into your computer

    the topside it was to hold the + and - keys together while plugging it into your computer
    funner part is, without any batteries, while plugged in, it turns on and acts like it's trying to charge the non-existent batteries
    one day I may just attempt to see if I can vape on it without batteries just having it plugged in :lol:

    Me either but I was just wondering if it was a good ratio between tobacco and sweetness. I thought 8% was a good start with most of it tobacco. I just picked random flavors since @Fstop didnt specify.

    I enjoy drinking Koia's coconut almond protein drink and also almond coconut milk, so decided to whip something up. Steeped it for 2 weeks. It's tasty and pretty much spot on IMO.

    FA Madagascar 3%
    FA Vienna Cream 1%
    INW Shisha Vanilla 1%
    VT Milk Fresh 1.2%
    FLV Cream 8 drops
    FLV Sweet Coconut 6 drops
    FA Almond 6 drops

    ETA: That's for 30ml's.

    Come on up.
    LOL. Thanks for the welcome.
    But, you see, I lived across the river in VT for several years, and realized half way through those years that I should have been in NH, because the nannies in VT are as bad as those in MA.
    But, I'm also tired of winter, and when I was in VT got tired of living in the country.

    So, seeing that the governor of FL had the guts (and so few do) to veto the ban on flavored vaping products, and winter, I'm really drawn to that state.

    I asked this question on the Provari saloon thread, but this thread is busier with more folks.
    My son says FL is biking unfriendly because of a lack of bike trails and because people drive like nuts.
    My niece says FL is too conservative and that I wouldn't like it.

    Help me figure this out.

    Come on to Texas, just don't bring any liberal ideas with you. We got enough of that coming from California. They had a fine state and go and screw it up, then think they can do the same here. Apologies to those in California who are stuck because of liberalism.
    It's funny how I don't even understand anymore what certain categories mean. Liberalism? Don't know.
    I do understand what freedom means, and what human rights mean. LOL, don't ask me to define them, but I smell it when they're trampled on.

    This appeals to me, but what quantity of liquid did you make? Presumably the drops don't remain constant regardless of the volume mixed.

    If it had weeped even a little, I wouldn’t have bought two more.
    I wouldn’t say the 1.2 with af turned all the way to mtl is very tight. I like a loose mtl/rdl and I can get it in my happy zone setting the af dead middle with either coil. It’s certainly not berserker mtl tight if that’s what you need.
    Flavor is good for a pod. Coil seems to last a long time. Battery life is great considering how small it is. I was surprised to like it, the Boost and the dotaio have been the closest to a pod that I liked enough to keep using.

    I like FL, most things were cheaper. I lived in the Panhandle, didn't have to pay for garbage, taxes were relatively low and weather was wonderful except the hurricanes.

    You can always move here. No snow, lots of bike trails on and off the roads, NOLA is progressive but if you go North in the state it’s solidly conservative. More European than Southern I guess would describe it best. Politicians are all crooks, but I suspect they largely are anywhere. But, our governor is a gem. Man has a brain and uses it.

    Sammy’s got my back ;). Plus, this is a community property state, under Napoleonic law (we’re a tad slow updating lol). He won’t want to give me half his truck :lol:
