@NolaMel and anyone who uses the Sceptre:

what coils give the best flavour? I'm still on the same rdl 0.5ohm coil. But the flavour is meh, compared unfairly to my RTAs and RDAs.

For some screwed up reason, I can only vape it DL - maybe as it's a tighter draw? who knows with my brain
So I might just make up some higher flavoured lower nic juice.

Or look at other lightweight pod mods

I like the 1.2.

Morning shinies

You might like the .65. (I didn’t care for the 0.5.) The 1.2 has good flavor too.
It’s a pod, so I’m not expecting RTA clouds, but either of those give enough air and flavor considering it’s tininess.

Perfect, I'll try the 1.2 first

It's one of my cloudiest devices due to to me using it DL What I love the most, is it goes in my pocket (or in my boot) and I don't even know it's there. Brilliant for on the farm.

Creams are not ideal for pods. Maybe mix up a berry mint juice sans the cream.

Thank you I've had mint cream and caramel cream through it - I'll do up a boysenberry mix

I'll be interested to see how you like it Charlie. @ShowMeTwice recommended it a while back but only the high price tag has been putting me off.
AUS $42.50 for a 12.5g bag here.

I've tried many different types of cotton and they make such a massive difference to flavour and overall vape.

Using some Dvnk Kulture cotton at the moment from TRVP/bbvapes and like it but I'm nearly out and postage from Canada is prohibitive.

I've been trying this cotton out for a few weeks and pretty impressed. After two weeks when I changed wicks the coil was pretty toasty but the wick was barely yellowed. Rocky over at elr had posted it, cheap and I could probably have gotten a month out of it easily if I didn't need to clean the coil.

Forgot to mention next to zero breakin.

That's what I use. And the bag can last me more than a year. 13 ft of cotton rope! Only thing is, when it's fresh wick, I fire it twice while blowing through the afc otherwise it has a off-putting 'bleach' taste.

 

[Letitia]

Weird, I don't get any bleach or odor from it fresh. I do always prime my wicks so maybe odor is too faint to compete with the juice for me.

It's probably partly superstitious. I also have Koh Gen Do and Cotton Bacon Prime. I do the blowing thing for all of them. It literally only takes two seconds and brings peace and order to my vape world.

 

[Letitia]

Lol, guess I'm just too lazy. I wick juice prime and throw it back on the atty.

Hey Ange

 

[Tralfaz]

Monday vape mail yay!

This thing is nice. Worth the wait for a proper C-frame, IMO. Now it's time to fire up EScribe and fiddle with the chip. The anticipation is palpable

Friday vape mail yay!

Beautiful! I so want one but know it will be in the stash in less than a month with my beloved therions I can't make myself sell.

 

[Tralfaz]

Why would you ever sell your Therions? Does not compute.

I won't but should. Doubt I'll go back to dual battery. I couldn't bear to part with my 133, first mod I had that just fit and once I topped it with the obs nano I knew I'd finally found my happy vape place.

Greetings Shiny Folk.

Thanks @Letitia . Will give that a try for sure at that price

 

[Daniel Forsyth]

Good Morning Shiny People

 

[Pigs]

Yup maybe....but I'll wait to hear from him before I make my decision.....bulk buy seems the best option probably and Canada post usually takes ages...

EDIT...Ah you mean the one you're using is prohibitively expensive.

Yep. The postage from Canada to Aus is very expensive and like you say takes ages. Buying any TRVP bb stuff from Toronto is an excercise in patience.

 

[Fidola13]

Sourcemore has vaporesso gt coils for sub ohms tanks on sale for $4.99 for any resistance. I bought 10 packs of the GT cCell ceramic .5 ohms which are normally about $10 -$15 at many stores.

I have several Vaporesso sub ohm tanks for the stash inc NRGs, a few from the Cascade line and the newer Skrrr. They have fantastic flavor results and are the only sub ohm tanks that I’ll use that taste almost as good as an RTA to me.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

it has a off-putting 'bleach' taste

True organic cotton sliver (pronounced slīver; sly-ver) is unbleached, no pesticide, no dyes or chemicals.

What you are tasting with a new wick are the natural oils and waxes in the cotton. After a few hits that does go away.

USDA certified organic cotton removes those oils and waxes entirely. Removing the oils and waxes greatly increases absorption.

Any cotton can be called or labeled "organic". That in and of itself means nothing, unless, it carries the USDA certification, or the equivalent certification, from the country of origin.

The USDA certified organic cotton sliver I use has near zero break-in. There are no off-putting tastes whatsoever.

Over the last 6 years I've learned a lot about cottons from the Cottonman himself. His farm in Edenton, NC has been in the cotton business for a very long long time.

@ShowMeTwice , didn't even look at second one, just left the convo and it disappeared, happily. First one is closed though you read it. Don't waste your time.
True colors, Baby.....shinin' through. My eyes are wide open now. Thank you


To everyone else, looks like the USPS pushed back the vape ban to April 26th and they phrased it as "decision making" as opposed to outright ban. Didn't read the whole thing, but it's in the USPS Ban thread. Hope y'all are stocked up by now. Good luck.

You're welcome. Glad I could be of assistance. Hope it all works out for you. All those colors sure are pretty aren't they. Thanks for the heads up, yeah I thought it was a waste of time too.

ETA: I also figured, trolling, yep.
