    I think I’m the only person who didn’t love the sceptre. Mine leaked, just weak vapor compared to what I’m used to, but it had decent flavor.

    I ended up giving away my spare and haven’t been using the one I kept. I just couldn’t find my happy place with it. It’s getting packed up tomorrow with some other stuff.

    I was thinking the other day that once the ban starts that I should start shopping at home and pull out different mods and tanks every couple weeks.
    Maybe your shiba can be the bored aloof 20something store clerk who just says, “we don’t have that. This smok blows killer clouds though! “

    Just FYI. No boost on the Sceptre with 1.2Ω coil is 9 watts, boost is 10W. I use my Sceptres with boost for both coils: 10W for 1.2Ω coil, 12.5W for the ..65Ω one.


    "My Bad" . . . I double checked and the LED light is purple - "Boost" . . . :facepalm:

    Funny coincidence that I haven’t heard from innokin since I posted my review and I emailed the link.

    FYI: It has been "My" experience that they are not on ECF that often - most of the time it is during the beginning of the week (and not until after 9PM EST) . . . AND - Usually takes a few days or up to a week to get a reply sometimes, even with an email to CS . . . ;)

    Yes, as in a second glass zenith pod tank that only fits the sensis.... as I type that, Im seeing how implausible it would be for them to do that, but they could capture more of the market by including z coil users. I love the sceptre coils in the sceptre. In the sensis, I find them mediocre at best. I’ll keep playing with settings, but it makes me wonder if people are saying it’s fabulous because it’s new, or they don’t want to admit they aren’t getting an awesome vape.... or, is it just over my head?

    Well - There is a lot about the Sensis that is over "My" head - so you're not alone . . . So far it's been quite a trail and error figuring out the MOD & coils, let alone what setting are a benefit and work at least for "Me" . . . But more about that in the review I am writing up . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I definitely will. I’m really thinking about giving up and designating it my minty flavor mod.

    I have a Z coil soaking in vodka. Wonder if that will refresh.........
    Fran is soaking a coil in vodka (I use the cheap stuff but guessing you use the good stuff ;) )
    It can give the coil some extra life (but not much) It will get rid off past juice flavors if that was the goal. Of course, dry it well. Forgive me for saying this, but after doing that, I don't waste the vodka. I haven't tried the boiling water method (but I guess it also works well) After you soak the coil, blow through it with a finger over the bottom (gently) to get most of the liquid out of the wick. I would say about half the time, this helps... other times, not really worth it. I put the coil in a small plastic "shot glass", agitate it several times during the day, blow out the excess, drink the vodka and let it dry overnight. Really have nothing to lose by trying. If a coil (and wick) has been "cooked", nothing will save it.

    There's actually more than one version of Everclear, depending on state laws. There's Everclear 75 proof and Everclear 90 proof.
    I have no idea what you are talking about (don't mean to critisize) but here it's like 180 proof (I think you meant 90 %) Proof is twice the % number. The reason it's called "proof" is if it's at least 100 proof, it will burn (that's how you proved it was strong) My brain is full of so much useless info like that LOL

    Well I enjoyed peach/mango/apricot (with cream) for days but burned out. Back to good ol' berry cheesecake.
    Finally used up my 0.3 ohm coil (Kroma Z) rinsed the pod and putting a 0.8 coil in (because I so missed my 12 mg peanut butter banana pudding with nilla wafers) Looking forward to my week-end. Might even finally re-build my RTA (and even a RDA)

    Thanks. I know some reps are like that but thought it was odd after receiving a couple emails prior to the review asking how I was doing with it.

    After soaking it, is there any residue in the glass indicating that the soak did any good? I’ve never tried it.

    I don't either. Would love to have a single battery mod with 21700 (and my charger can do those)

    I really like the Augvape foxy one that I reviewed and uses 21700. The Jellybox mini also uses them and is pretty inexpensive.
