Does anyone know if raspberry is one of those flavors that mess with plastic tank sections? I've had it in a glass tank since I started using it but a few days ago I put some in a KFL and the plastic seems to be getting a little frosty.


Sound like it. Get it out quickly and wash it thoroughly before it cracks. Frosty is better than cracked.

Everyone is different. Uncle likes the .65 in his Sceptre.

NOPE - NA DA - No .65 oHm coils for "Me" . . . Matter of fact, traded them all for 1.2 oHm coils . . . Even though, I keep trying every now and then - especially when I am doing a review on a new MOD/POD/tank, sub-oHm coils are definitely not for "Me" . . . Strickly a 1.0 oHm and higher Coils for "Me" . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

I just took the .25 coil out after over 500 puffs and it was still working good. However, the vapor just never seemed dense enough. I put in one of my .5 coils and it’s more dense and a little more restricted. As far as flavor goes I’ll have to wait until it’s broken in to tell.

WOW - And I think the vapor is a lot denser, even with the 1.2 oHm coil . . . :blink:

I think they should have included one of each of the four coils to fit everyone.

And some spare o-rings and coil adapters. I have a feeling that I'll lose mine sooner or later. Really, Innokin! My Ares came with bags of goods, extras, replacements, coil winders, etc. That was so nice of them.

I have a cart ready but waiting till tomorrow in case I find something else. I really should stop now but it's impulse buying.

Just be careful--they are in the US but not collecting taxes. There's been some talk about the gov going after businesses and buyers who don't pay taxes for vape products starting in March. I have no idea how it's going to work, but I decided not to order anything stateside from vendors who don't collect sales taxes.

If anyone knows more about that tax crackdown, please let us know.

LOL. So should you then be banned from the diy thread?

I have a VIP pass, dear. I know the owner. But yes, I probably should have been banned from this thread a long time ago. Just don't remind Frannie. ;)
I vape unflavored half the time.
But, just curious if you find a difference between unflavored nic vendors or whether you have a taste preference, cost aside.
I've alternated between LNW, Wiz, NN, etc. and have always made a mental note to save some aside from each and do a taste test.
So much for my mental notes!! Fail.

FWIW, based on everything I have read in those long nicotine threads (for years) and my own trials and errors, I would say Nude Nicotine, CNT and Chemnovatic are the best--if you want the cleanest, flavorless, odorless, smoothest nic. That's what I like and need because I often vape unflavored or very lightly flavored eliquids--any off taste, pepperiness, or oxidation are very pronounced in unflavored vapes.

Prices? Well, I pay the highest prices, I think, because I order NN Armor nic in small (125 ml) amber glass bottles sealed with argon gas for long-term storage. I usually buy 500 ml every year or so on Black Friday when their nic goes on sale, I get my VG and PG also from them, free shipping, and they are located ~60 miles from me, so the the packages get to me fast. They charge 63 bucks for 500 ml argon-sealed 10% nic, less when on sale, which lasts me a very long time. A carton of premium cigarettes in CA costs ~100 bucks. ;)

Of course, there are folks who prefer peppery, tobbaco-y, or "throat hit" nicotine. But that's not my area of expertise.

Oh dear. I remember those long threads and lists of tank cracking eliquids and flavorings. The plastics used in tanks have improved since the early days, and the flavorings have become better, but we're not there yet.

Let's make a list of juices/flavors that crack tanks, ce2's/clearos... :lol:

    I’ll eventually dig out one of those coils from a sceptre pod I bought and try it.

    I want to get back with everyone and thank you for the great replies and discussions regarding ELR; there's a lot here to consider. Though, being the lazy vaper that I am, I'm going with @Letitia's advice and not worry about it. lol. JK. I might try that CVS thing. I might need to read back on that process, maybe this weekend. Thanks again.
    It was super easy, even for me. Tech never goes right for me and always confuses me

    No more free shipping at Nude. Not sure when it started but I could not get my cart to recognize so I read under the shipping terms. NO longer offer it. Big Sigh

    I haven’t bought vendor juice in years but it’s really sad this stupid shipping ban is putting folks out of business. HHV is closing later this month.
    Their store will remain open but they are closing the online business. I was in the HHV Army for years until I started DIY and life changed and I left ECF for a while. I went to their store once and met Adam and Heather and Dusty the ECF moderator. Very nice people and I hate this for them. I no longer vape their juice but their Serendipity was always my fav. At $40/100 ml bottle, it's out of my price range at this point, but I did think about getting one more bottle. :(

    THIS BREAKS OUR HEARTS
    By now many of you have heard about the USPS shipping ban. Some of you know that vape products are now covered under the PACT Act with many, more stringent, regulatory requirements.

    Up to now, we have met every regulatory compliance that has been required. We have fought hard for the rights of vapers. If there was a way for us to continue online sales, we would do it. Our government has chosen to set the regulatory hurdles too high for a small business like us.

    Unfortunately, as of right now, it is not possible for us to continue online sales past March 21, 2021.

    Our hearts are broken. What we hang onto that has kept us going is that through it all, you have all been here with us.

    We can't begin to tell you how much your continuing support has meant to us. Adam and Heather started Heather's Heavenly Vapes out of a passionate desire to help others switch to vaping by making flavors you could enjoy. It's always been a family business, and you are part of that family.

    Thank you for being with us for 9 incredible years.

    Starting now, you can use the code THANKYOU for 15% savings on all e-liquids.

    Our online store will close at midnight (Eastern) on March 21, 2021. Every order is hand-mixed, and we'll need time to fill orders and ship before the cutoff date.

    Our flavoring supplies are limited and there is uncertainty about the ability to replenish. We will update our site to let you know if any flavors are sold out.

    Our brick and mortar shop in Newnan, GA is going to remain open for as long as possible. If you're ever in town, we sure hope you'll stop by!

    Vaping has faced constant hurdles and managed to find a way to survive. If anything changes to make online sales feasible, we will do all we can to be here for you.

    With love and gratitude,

    HEATHER, ADAM, EMILY, DANNY, ALYCIA, ROBBIE, KRISTEN, LORI AND JANNET

    Back to work after a 4-day weekend. :(:cry::facepalm: But our company just gave us an extra holiday in April! :) I have a strong feeling, after several emails floating around, that we will be going back to work after Spring. I am not ready to drive in every day, but I am so ready to get back to normal.
