So how does one go about fixing this?

Maybe some very fine grit Emory cloth very lightly could at least smooth it out a bit

You silly rabbit, tricks (clouds) are for kids!

I'm old school. It's all about clouds.

I've got my eye on that, but I want to try squonking with a bridgeless atomizer with an open center post first, if it's possible. I sent a lot of questions to Avid Vapor on Friday and still haven't heard back from them. What they say will determine what I do.

This is another one of my all time favorites, and you can debridge it easily

I’m building it tomorrow.

What are you waiting for????

Sorry, weird week with the huge shiny coming...

The atty is great. I have it on top of a Pico Squeeze and works like a charm. Likes .20 ohms better, and lower onto the posts. Quite leakproof if you don't oversquonk.

I wrote my first reviews for stuff sent to me by a manufacturer. If anyone is interested, i've quoted it down below:

I was sent a sample of two juices ahead of their official release on the Warpedvape website. I thought to pen my initial impressions so that I can add a second, and relatively neutral, opinion for those tempted to purchase.

Warped Vapors

Warped Vapors has become a darling within the Canadian vaping scene, whilst also shipping to the US through a California based distributor. Known for their smooth salt nicotine, extremely competitive pricing, and fruit flavours; these two new juices represent their first step into commercial non-fruity flavour profiles. We are looking two heavy cream flavours: Bavarian Cream and Pulsar - Strawberry Milkshake. These two juices will be available on their site in the New Year at $15 CAD/$11 USD per 120ml and are available for preorder.

Bavarian Cream
Created: 05-Dec-18
Sampled: 12-Dec-18

Website Description: Our loving take on a classic custard! Perfectly balanced, rich and fluffy Bavarian Cream with hints of spice and gentle kiss of vanilla essence. You've never had something like this on Earth!

Bavarian Cream is a flavour that opens up with the crisp taste you get when vaping anything custard. I realize that custards are anything but crisp, but as a flavouring in eliquid there is a need to augment it with a layer of creaminess and another of sweetness. A good custard is a composite of crispiness, of cream, and of sweetness. The underlying tone is that crispiness, the familiar base of all custards, of an almost smokey texture.

There is a hint of butter that precedes the crispiness when sampled in my KRMA; although missing when sampled on my B2K or Citadel, and less present on my Entheon. It is a butter that reminds me of a freshly baked piping hot croissant: the kind that glistens from the warm richness of melted butter, that leaves oily stains on the napkin you use to hold it. It makes you slightly salivate and opens up your tongue for the finish.

The buttery notes briskly disappear, the dry crispness of custard flavouring takes over, it then transitions into vanilla. The finish on this flavour is a syrupy vanilla. It reminds me of the bottom of the cup you find in a French Vanilla from Tim Hortons. It is a thick and sweet vanilla, it coats your tongue and leaves a fading sweetness. In fact, sampling a drop of the eliquid directly on my tongue, I would swear that it is the syrup used to make French Vanillas at Tim Hortons.

To date this is my favourite custard flavour. The other custards I have sampled do not quite accomplish the balance between the crisp undertone, buttery creaminess, and sweet vanilla that you would expect from real custard. There are additional tones that add depth to this flavour. It is not simply butter-vanilla-sweet over crisp custard, it has a nearly imperceptible hint of either chocolate, cinnamon, or some other related flavour that adds depth to the cream. For years people have added pieces of candy cane to cookies or cinnamon sticks to apple cider; they are doing something similar here but the element that is being added is very subdued and works to add mouth texture rather than strong flavour.

My dislike with most custards is that they are often dry. The mixture of butter and vanilla syrup do well to create the creaminess we would expect in a real custard. I would recommend this juice to anyone who loves a good French Vanilla from Tim Hortons. I cannot stop dripping it directly onto my tongue.

Pulsar - Strawberry Milkshake
Created: 05-Dec-18
Sampled: 12-Dec-18

Website Description: Let yourself be magnetically drawn to the densely packed flavour of our out-of-this-world strawberry milkshake! Sweet, milky, and just the right amount of energy to catapult your taste buds out of orbit!

For the most part, eliquids advertised as 'strawberry' often have a very commercial and chemical flavouring. You find that flavour profile at the ice cream bar of your local chinese buffet. It lacks the tart of a real strawberry and the midtones are often dominated by sweetener. This is was my expectation, but it is far from the flavour profile of the Pulsar - Strawberry Milkshake.

I would consider this eliquid to be a borderline custard rather than a traditional cream. Like the Bavarian Custard it has a crisp and dry under tone. The strawberry is not headlining, it is second to the vanilla syrup we saw in the Bavarian Custard.

Taking in the vapour, I taste the same crisp custard undertone we saw earlier, but in concert with a mild strawberry. The strawberry flavour leads into the rest of the profile; it is the opening act for this flavour. Similar to the coating of a pocky stick, there is a waxy coating of vanilla with the addition of the fruit's flavouring. The proportion of vanilla to strawberry is akin to a McDonald's strawberry milkshake; in fact the two are nearly analogous.

Whenever I get a McDonald's strawberry milkshake I remove the lid and take a look inside. I see vanilla icecream with strips of red strawberry topping running throughout. It may be a local phenomenon, but the staff at my McDonald's can never be bothered to fully blend the two ingredients - they are never made homogenous and as a result you do not taste a strawberry milkshake. Rather, a vanilla milkshake with complimentary tones of strawberry.

Pulsar - Strawberry Milkshake, in my opinion, is a much simpler flavour than the Bavarian Custard. There are no transitional notes, there is no syrupy finish, there are no flavour progressions. Rather, what we have here, is a vanilla cream/custard with a strawberry lead in that tapers down in intensity.

Sampling the Bavarian Custard I had a different experience with each RDA that I had used. The flavour profile was very delicate and sensitive. This one is slightly more robust. It requires more heat, and it lends itself better to high wattage dual coil vaping where you need not worry about tinging out the butter profiles or the vanilla syrup. This flavour was unsurprisingly least flavour in my citadel, slightly better in my KRMA and Entheon, but shone with a higher wattage in my airier B2K.

For these reasons I would recommend this flavour for those looking to cloud chase and need an eliquid that can stand up to high wattages.

Thank you /u/warpedvapors for the sample! Thank you everyone else for reading. This is the first time I have been sent a sample ahead of release - I hope I did not botch it too badly.

If anyone wants to buy it, here is their site (they have warehouses in CAN and US and ship to both): Warped Vapors - Salt Nicotine E-Juice Canada

Posting it here because I had included it in my shinyitis posts when I received it.

I have the sq, haven't used it in a long time though.
I got better flavor from my others at the time.
I was referring to the topside specifically.

Dom recommended the fruits from Warped Vapors to me a few weeks back, I ordered some and wasn't disappointed. In fact I have more showing up at my door any day now.
I'm looking forward to more flavours being available in the 200's in Jan

I think you did a good job reviewing the two flavours, nice detail. Are those part of the Jan roll out?

Tried it??? Had the rda pre built and primed, mod out of the box before I got to the back to juice and battery.

Love it. Tried it with both the DRSQ (fused clapton @.5) at 35/watts, and the ammit mtl rda (simple kanthal at 1.0) at 15 watts. Both are really nice vapes. Great hand feel because of the curves. not too heavy to carry about. battery door is nice and secure feeling (like it will hold up). button is clicky, with just enough resistance. bottle is firm enough, but doesn’t take two fingers to press. Finish and build feel and look quality. The finish has a bit of texture that makes it feel secure to grab. I’m waiting to see how battery life is.

And it gets bonus points for the perfect color match to my tank.

I like it quite a bit. I like a cooler vape with lots of flavor, so a slightly higher ohm build works for me. Super easy to build, doesn’t seem like a fussy tank.

They are and they aren't. They're being rolled out in Jan but on the regular WV website.

I remember you mentioned you don't like fruity. Have you tried custard? I find they have a sort of dry mouth feel that mimics smoking cigarettes. Usually I don't like them because I just find them dry and unflavourful, but Bavarian cream really nailed it with the vanilla and butter.

Laz & Adam mentioned they would send me a care package of the 200 line before release. I am not sure what or how many i'll get, but if there's some tobacco ones i'll let you know how they go.

Agreed, a lot of water consumption with this bottle!

The Hussar looks nicer, but the Haku Phenom is an amazing vape...
