Well my new DIY juice came out really well I love it so far on the shake. Let's hope a steep doesn't spoil it. I do find that sometimes....it never turns unvapeable but just mellows to something less tasty.

The ingredients were dragonfruit, apricot, strawberry, raspberry, juicy peach, bav cream and cream fresh. It has got a delicious balanced punch type flavour with the raspberry coming through in an understated way which is setting off the dragonfruit. Dragonfruit is a wonderfully useful flavour which blends things very usefully and rarely ends in disaster......

Happy vaping guys. This one may go into my daily rotation. We'll see what happens after a steep.

Wow, that sounds yummy! Share the recipe?

Was just looking around at vaping apparatus and found this:

Dang,is it just me or these look sexy!!

Loving the shape and design of it,real beauty :D

Is that Yihi? I had a stabwood, and they are really nice, well made. I sold it because I couldn’t deal with the joystick. Ymmv but I guess since I never played video games I had no inclination towards joysticks.

Aha! I prefer two also, but they seem to be rare now. No idea why...
MTL tanks usually have one. DL almost always have two.
Much better flavor from DL (restricted) with two inlets for me. I still wish I could get that flavor from a MTL set up....but in the end it's the air that brings the flavor.

Oh, I see. It used to bug me because older MTL atties came with dual airflow on the AFC ring and then, it seems, they all switched to one side only. Couldn't figure it out!

Thanks for the explanation.

Good afternoon Shinies. Took me a while to catch up :lol:

@AngeNZ I did an order at FlavourForest for a couple of concentrates to improve the non existent taste of the strawberry juice I have. I added a PET Unicorn Bottle but the bottle plug was to small. I searched to see how to contact them and realised they are in the same city I live :w00t:. Soooo this morning after sending an email telling them of my dilemma and the fact that I thought it was disappointing not to have an actual phone number and mentioning that they were recommended to me by a member on ECF. Well one minute later they rang me, apologised profusely and offer to drop off a replacement one. I am at work so I suggested to drop it here since it is closer to where they are located. One of them came in, apologised again and gave me a huge bag of several bottles and a one-shot for me to try out :wub:. That is what I call excellent customer service. I have attached a picture but I haven't opened because I am at work lol.

I think the fact that I mentioned here at ECF we always talk about suppliers to NZ, Australia and other parts of the world helped ;)

I am a happy camper. Now the one shot might mean I might need to get into DIY sooner than I was expecting :lol:. Now I am missing the PG, VG and nicotine :shock:

Not Letitia, but if you like berries, FA Forest Fruit might be to your liking. From HIC's notes:

"FA Forest Fruit: (Forest Mix) A tasty mix of fresh bilberry (wild blueberry flavor), raspberry, strawberry, black currant, and a touch of blackberry, as far as I can tell. These are all realistic, fresh berry flavors. If you can have only one FA berry flavor, choose Forest Fruit. Don’t be afraid to add more of your favorite berry flavor to emphasize it in the mix. In a recipe that features a single berry flavor, try adding 0.5% Forest Mix for some complex background notes."

Also, FA Pear is a nice mixer:
"FA Pear: Fresh pears, sweet and a little creamy. Pear can be used as an alternative to Sucralose-type sweeteners - especially nice with less-sweet fruit flavors and in fruity bakery recipes. FA Pear adds creamy sweetness that’s perfect with peach, apricot, and plum flavors, whether FA versions or not. Pear gains creaminess as it steeps."

I don't vape fruit, but I love FA Pear with my tea (black, green and white) vapes.
Yes I know fa pear well but this mix used cap harvest berry as ran out of fa. I must do another order as generally fa produces some of the most realistic flavours you can buy ;)

FWIW, I stick to FA because, some time ago, when I started to DIY, I was an avid follower of HIC's epic FA thread and I learned almost everything I know about DIY from him. Besides, I knew then that FA didn't use any diketones in their flavoring so it was a no-brainer. And I love their flavors.

With one exception--their green tea is awful. I don't understand why, since they make fantastic black tea. :)

    I finally got caught up. Thread is awesome, like old times.
    I am still silly happy about my new vape gear. I have not bought any for a long time because I am saving for something else.
    Anyway, please help an old confused person.
    I want my Drag S RBA built. I installed (OMG so tiny) the coil that came with it but it is .50 and I want .30. Can I buy these pre-made anywhere? Pleez a link if anyone is so inclined. I have all this wire and used to rebuild the mini protank coils so I know the concept BUT arthritis in hands and site makes me not what I was 5-6 years ago.
    Great morning coffee wake up session I had with you all. :wub:

    From what I can see, the coil that comes with the voopoo PNP rba is a 2.4mm id 5 wrap coil:
    9718125-5.jpg

    And ppl are rebuilding it with a 2.5mm id coil no problem.

    So you need 2.5mm id pre-coiled wire around 0.3ohm? FT has these ones:
    $2.70 Authentic XFKM 316L Stainless Steel Tri-core MTL Fused Clapton Pre-Coiled Wire 10-pack - 28*3/38 AWG / 0.32mm*3/0.1mm dia. / 0.32ohm / 2.5mm inner diameter / 10pcs/pack at FastTech - Free Shipping
    ss316L 28*3/38 AWG 0.32ohm, 2.5mm inner diameter, 10pcs/pack
    You may need to lose a wrap for them to fit

    Thanks for the explanation.

    :wub:Here's another option - I ordered it last week due to the dual airflow, amazing flavour, shinyitis, the airflow options it has and mainly again shinyitis ;)

    $24.95 ULTON Tripod Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2ml / stainless steel + glass / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

    It's a clone of Atmizoo's Tripod RTA. Internal airflow id is 4mm, it comes with MTL inserts of 1.0mm/1.2mm/ 1.5mm/1.8mm. It also comes with a mtl chamber reducer of 3mm id. Without the chamber reducer the chimney it is 5.2mm id.

    It's 2ml as is, or you can get bubble glass to increase it to 3.5ml
    3PCS Atmizoo Tripod rta 22mm tank Bubble Glass Tube Fatboy Replacement [FT090x3]$7.99

    If you'd rather go taller, there's an extender available which brings it to 3.4ml:
    $5.53 ULTON Replacement Extension Kit for Tripod Styled RTA - 3.4ml at FastTech - Free Shipping This fits the Ulton version, and the cheaper version listed below.
    and there's also bubble glass available for that's which gives you a tall fat 5ml Tripod RTA :D
    2PCS Atmizoo Tripod rta 22mm tank Rainbow Bubble Glass Tube [VT1201x2]$7.49

    FT has a cheaper clone, which also has good reviews:
    $12.85 Tripod Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2ml / 316 stainless steel + glass / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping

    I'm glad they looked after you :wub: And I've loved the CS I've had there too.

    PG and VG are easy peasey, nicotine may be a bit harder ;)

    I use Mixology for my nic. If you do an order here, use the code VAPR20 for 15% off
    They had stock earlier in the week, and now they are taking orders for their next shipment due on the 8th:
    Nicotine E Liquid & Juice | Premium Vape Juice with Nicotine
    I'd suggest getting it in PG, purely because you will want to keep it in the fridge and VG gets thicker and slower to pour when it's cold.

    You may as well save on shipping and get your PG and VG there as well:
    Unflavoured PG

    Unflavoured VG

    They also have some one-shot concentrates there:
    You searched for vampire vape
    If you want to see reviews on them, click on each flavour here:

    and then click on the Notes tab


    Welcome to the DIY Rabbit Hole :wub:

    More homework? :lol: Thanks, I think.

    Anyway, I better make up my mind soon. Storm clouds are gathering fast--and from every direction. It won't be long, I'm afraid. The FDA PMTA deadline in September and now this:

    Just my bloody luck. So it's either 1.8 or 4 mm :shock: . I feel like a forgotten middle child--plenty of great (tight) MTL tanks, even more great DL tanks. Not much love for the in-betweens. :cry:

    I love the Gear--but that hole under the coil looks gigantic! And those juice channels! If this came with just one air-reducing insert, I'd be all over it. How big is that hole, anyway? Any idea?
