Thanks. I have a cheap Doggystyle, like it. Tried a Manta clone, it was ok. Had an Ammit, never got top flavor like a Merlin, i mostly vape tobacco-flavors btw. Hastur has been on my wishlist, i'll take a closer look.

For now i pre-ordered the Berserker 1.5, thanks all.
Hastur has been on my list too. Let us know what you think of the berserker 1.5.
 

Skunk!

I'll add to that, have you seen the new bestia mech?
Potentially the smallest 21700 mech, side fire.
Mike vapes got one at the Vegas expo and loves it so far.
Just fueling the fire for ya.....

RTA please.


Yes, see below.


I tend to like bottom airflow like the Kayfuns, not a fan of top airflow. Some side airflow rda's also work very well for me or in Aromamizers, Boreas.


Thanks for your responses. Things i use ATM: KF Prime, KF5 mini, KF 5-2, Berserker, Merlin, Merlin MTL, Serpent SMM, Toptank, Siren2, Kennedy 25 + Vindicator, Squeeze + Hadaly, Entheon + CF Squonk mini, Hadaly + SMPL, tried another 50 or so, have dozens stashed.

Gear in rotation a few months back:

So it was more of a shinyitis question, as in: what brushed silver, or stainless steel, 24-25mm, rebuildable, bottom airflow, single-coil, new tank or rda would look nice on that Pico 21700?
My vote (living vicariously) would be: Hussar RDA 1.0 or Legacy, Armor 2.0 RDA, Hussar RDTA+, Haku, DWRV DL or MTL, Animods Biatch, Taifun III or IV, Squape Emotion or X. Yeah, guilty, this is my shopping list/ wishlist...

What flavors aren't you getting on with?

Some I've dripped in minute quantities diluted with VG/PG, some I've added to my ejuice and some I've just sniffed and that was enough ...

Opinions purely my subjective own. The remaining flavours are the middle of bell curve, these are the outliers.

4% - Dire [Bury in back garden]
  • Flavor Jungle - Espresso
  • The Flavor Apprentice - Red Licorice
  • Capella - Rainbow candy
3% - Pretty rough [Might leave at the back of cupboard and quietly forget about.]
  • Capella - 27 Bears, 27 Fish
8% - Decidedly an acquired taste [Don't immediately like but see the potential]
  • Capella - Blackcurrant, Blueberry extra, Fruit circles
  • Flavor West - Biscotti
  • The Flavor Apprentice - Double chocolate clear, Orange cream
11% - On the other hand, I am capable of drinking these straight from the bottle [But realise it would be silly, so don't]
  • The Flavor Apprentice - Almond Amaretto, Western, Maple syrup, Pistachio, Orange cream (Smells superb, vapes like old socks IMO)
  • Flavorah - Turkish tobacco
  • Flavor Art - Marzipan, Oak Wood, Burley
  • Lucemill - Acetyl pyrazine
Meanwhile, back at planet shiny, we have a new addition I picked up at a discount. Hopefully it will last a bit longer than the finish on the Arctic Dolphin after 8 - 10 weeks. Not sure what caused that (Juice, 15 minutes in a warm UC without solvent or just wear and tear?) but pretty poor show AD - mods should be a bit more resilient than that.

Did you steep any of them? Some flavors just can’t be used right away.
That’s an Aegis or a legend or mini? One of mine has all but pretended to be a stunt man (fell out of the truck onto a gravel lot, went swimming in the salt water bait well, etc), and looks no worse for the wear.

All were steeped @NolaMel, apart from all the Capella ones which I've just bought and gone for "Sniff the bottle" or a dripper test. Is there a list of those flavours you can use straight off the bat? That would be a great basis for a "Shake n Vape".

It's the original Aegis, 100W with a single 26650. The screw-on battery cover, price and slightly better resilience appealed over the Legend 200W, and while it has a colour screen and looks marginally better, the Aegis is intended for use mainly while I'm having a bath. I've tried showering, but the water goes straight in the atty :shock:.

China had its big Black Friday type sale and my stuff is starting to come in.

This thing isn’t technically a clone since it’s got its own airflow and branding but the deck is obviously heavily influenced by the vicious ant Goliath.

On the scale of 1 to nope. Building this thing was definitely a big nope what was I thinking. Works great though.

Thanks, i have the Dvarw MTL, the taifuns have also been on my wishlist for a while, only have a clone. Didn't try the Biatch but do own a Doggy clone. Love the SQ tanks, swiss precision, also swiss prices, for now i'm just using the poor man's (german) eXpromizers which somehow remind me of them. I'm sure those SQ's would match any of my future mods: Danibox mini, a Dicodes tube (i have the poor man's version: Ehpro 101) and Taifun box.

So far all vapegear i tried or own were mainly cheap tanks or clones and cheap mods, the Danibox will be my first expensive mod (€230 overhere, which is ~ $250)... a long time from here, in a galaxy far, far away.

Good morning Shiny's .
@Old Greybeard
Some of those flavors should fit into your flavor profile well. I would encourage you to explore the elr recipes site. All the flavors is another good site. If you put a public stash on elr it would be much easier for us to give you ideas.

Wow, that's quite a build. I bet you're great at origami cranes too. I'm lucky to get dual coils to glow evenly.

Hi Shinies. I have more money than I thought I would. This well paid, no benefits thing is great. Don't get me wrong I want my benefits and all, but having a few months of just being paid absurdly is kind of nice.

I'm glad I'm not a contractor. I'm having a hard enough time saving and whatnot already. If they didn't take taxes out, I'm pretty sure the tax man would be locking me up.

All is well though, I almost bought another cylon and mine's sort of TEMPORARILY dead I hope (husband may be able to fix it) but it's weird how I loved that vape..

Holding out for the Amodus though I've wanted that sucker forever. LOL.

Today may be rough, I am steeling myself. Etc. BUT it's almost Friday so if I have to do notes tonight, well I do.

Oh, good morning enablers shiners. I have some juice and Orion pods arriving today, and it looks like Fedex got my Topside to NY already. It's theoretically scheduled to land tomorrow as a 2 day ship, but I'm hoping it gets delivered today as it's already in the neighborhood. That should keep me amused for a few days. Hopefully.

This morning has been a treat. The kittens have started the .... wiggle, they mostly lose their balance and go rolling before they pounce. Hilariously and ridiculously adorable . When they do manage to execute the pounce they are quite ferocious, little teeth and claws are sharp!

Vape related...looks like the Juggerknot mini may get here before Thanksgiving. Languishing at JFKA now.

I've been fairly vocal about how much I enjoy my Juggerknot mini, I can't wait to hear your thoughts :)
