Ha! My 32 mg was WTA. It was the GREATEST vape ever, but I gave a friend the final few mL because I felt he could really use it. Honestly, that liquid -- though I never talked about it -- was the nothing short of revolutionary and made from the man that revolutionized the whole thing to begin with. With that liquid, I think I would've shed a tear to see it vaped in any other way but a regular ol' atty.
I remember you talking about it. That was my thread, remember. ;) I plan on trying the Aroma unflavored eventually, but I have about 90 ml of WTA and Arctic Wolf already mixed so it will be a while. I have 50 ml of un-mixed Arctic Wolf waiting for that day. :)

Wait...which thread? Oh, you're that guy? Well, I meant to say "I never talked about it more than a couple times." LOL.

OMG. I COULD NOT remember where we spoke, but thanks for reminding me. Good to see you again, JP (after we've been talking. hahaha)

Oh, and thanks for the suggestions about attys.

I only ordered from Arizona once. I think it was some cheap 808 cartos. I don't even remember what vendor it was, much less how long it took to get here.

Right now I'm waiting on my Sherlock pipe from Vapor Girl. Placed the order on Sunday and it just left North Carolina last night. At this point I'll be happy if it's in my mailbox on Tuesday, since that's the first night I'll be able to enjoy it. It has some gaudy as crap jewels on it, but it's a wood pipe with a side switch and eGo threads. I got an Aurora loaded up and a brand new Stingray soaking in Arctic Wolf ready to go. Though I may toss my Oba Oba into it eventually, since that's the only flavor I've found that I like other than menthol.

That is an interesting thread. Vaping a menthol as strong as mine, you don't really need the flavor a French Inhale gives. Plus I'm still working my way through that Newbie menthol from Aroma, and even mixed with my Arctic Wolf and unflavored it still tastes like crap. Lung hits all the way for me. Which is a pain if I'm drinking and forgot to refresh my atty. Hurts like hell. ;)

Drop me a note and I'll try to set you up with more. The stuff I made recently had a couple problems... bad yield and just a little rough. I think it was old tobacco. I'll go with NAS next and make enough for me, you, and our friend.

Been reading the thread a bunch, but my eyes are starting to cross after 70 pages and not even half way done. Sooooo....

What are everyone's favorites for regular bottom-feeder atties?

>^.^< Purred contentedly via Tapatalk

Vapage slant-coil hybrid BF atties are made for the Vmod, but work well on any feeder. They're delicious and very well built. Get on the Vapage mailing list and you'll get notified when they have a 50% off sale. At that price ($9 for two), they're the best deal in atties anywhere.

Whoa Nellie! Interesting...you don't use any kind of tip at all? Whew, I like my vape extra warm but that seems potentially blister inducing. Do you have to be conscious of how far down the atty you vape? Sorry to be so inquisitive; although I only use straight atties, this vape method is new to me.

I only do this on my long barrel attys. The atty I have now is 2 ohm and I have it sitting on about 3.5 volts. I am mainly chasing flavors. Don't get me wrong though, I enjoy heat too but I use a different setup for that.

I am sitting about a week now with the KP sealed LB atty. I have put roughly 25ml though it so far with juices that tend to gum up an atty but it's still hitting like a champ. I will probably soak it in a little shine overnight.

Well guys, I hate to say it, but I've betrayed you. I was weak and picked up a Taifun from my local vape shop over the weekend. Definitely a much more "expanded" vape as we've discussed before and I had to up the flavoring in my DIY juice compared to the 306 but it is a very nice, smooth vape. Won't be completely ditching the 306 and dripping, but I am enjoying this new atty quite a bit.

I got my KP long barrel and after vaping on these bridefree atties for a few days, I am reminded of why I LOVE my bridge attys. I don't know what is up with these boogers, but even while completely wet, dry hits happen and there's no rhyme or reason as to when or why! At the end of the night, I think what makes the biggest difference is HOW we vape. How I vape makes these bridgefree attys work poorly, and how I vape makes my often-minimized Joyetech atties work superbly. Maybe it's how I pull, maybe it's that I like to take hard hits -- either way, I'd rather not use, what has been in my experience, too-temperamental hardware. I am firmly aware of the fact that sometimes Joyes are duds, but then again, at the price I paid I can deal with that!

That is precisely why I have five AMP tanks and six Auroras I can use with my HH.357s despite the fact that I can crank out perfect coils darned near in my sleep. I am not willing to sacrifice taste, particularly the subtle, layered notes in my favorite juices.

What is the resistance (ohms) of the Stingray?
What is the resistance (ohms) of your other atomizer?

I'm guessing the Stingray is a much lower resistance.
And if so, it would get hotter and use juice faster than you are used to.

Sorry, just now seeing this. The Stingray is reading 1.6 and my 306 reads 1.9. I just ordered a bunch more 306s and 501 long barrel from Empire Mods. Still gonna try the hh357 too :)

Have you ever tried a bottom feeder? I never used bridgless in the past for similar reasons, but now with my VMod I never have a dry hit. But if you're happy and it works, keep on trucking. :)

If the Stingray is too hot for you, I will gladly give you a 2.0 ohm Vapage Hybrid in trade. Assuming it's an open post atty, of course. :)

Yes, I have (on a VMod) and they did seem to work differently, though I can't see why. I wonder if theses (specifically) Is there something about my Provari that messes these up? Because they often times start out fine and then act up = short life. This has happened with virtually all 1.5Ω bridgefree atties on my Provari (EM, KP, SR, CP/Aero, Ahl, Rawr, etc.) Unless I get a new device, I think I gave 'em a fair shot.

I don't know. I ran my eGo-C 1.8 on regulated batteries and they last forever for me. Haven't had the VMod long, but I barely discharge the batteries before topping them off.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to be a "veteran" vaper but to have such issues with simple ... equipment. That's why I go back to thinking it's, not "user error" necessarily, but the way we vape that makes one atty shine over the next (in some cases). I guess I can get the atty to work if I only kinda pull on it, but that feels so dainty and unsatisfying. Maybe this would only be really frustrating if I wasn't fully stocked on what I am more-than satisfied to use. I must say though, the Stingray IMO is better than the KP.
