I mix in my living room, kitchen is dysfunctional. Honestly i simply need to develop a system instead of doing it on the fly like I do cooking. For me mixing is nothing like cooking. I haven't measured anything for cooking since I was a kid.

No, but I have vaped machine oil several times because I was excited about a new rda and forgot to wash it.

No, no, no. :) It doesn't take long to dry a tank if you put it on the mantle over your fireplace.

so have you ever vaped Dawn because you didn't do a good job rinsing?

I am SO paranoid that I will do that. I put the tank parts in a sieve and run hot water over them for long minutes. Then, I put the pieces into my ultrasonic cleaner for 25 minutes. I learned about the taste of Dawn years ago after using a pot to make mac and cheese that my mother hand washed and hadn't thoroughly rinsed. :eek:

Here are the Alpines only tip options. The stock plastic tip is up front. You can also use the Top cap of the cosmonaut (right), but lose Top air flow and renders my cosmonaut unusable. The only quality replacement Top cap that allows for adjustable air flow is by District 5, it still does not allow for 810 drip tips though.

Edit: Trying all 3, Looks like I’ll Be retiring my Cosmonaut for now. I love the tight bottom airflow draw with the large tip, massive clouds and flavor.

I'm thinking really hard about the Vandy Vape Mesh RTA....both good things and bad things...:lol:
I own one, and I really like it.
There are some caveats to that, however...
First, it LOVES to drink all my juice.
Second, wicking it requires a great deal of cotton.
Third, getting it to work right with a squonker is a royal PITA.
And last, but DEFINITELY not least, the lack of a proper well kills it.
If you want to get a mesh RDA get the Digiflavor Mesh Pro RDA. Wish I had known it was coming.
Improves on the biggest issues the VV version has, except the juice drinking, but, you can't win em all...

I think he's looking at the RTA, not that "Unique" RDA that gives dry hits from the 9th level of hades...

I've been stepping down from 6 since about mid January. It seems that I'm tasting more of the flavor now, but I am reaching for my rig a little more often. The same thing happened with each step down. I have a tankful of 6mg liquid and if I were to hit it now I'd cough.

I'm in no hurry and I hope you aren't either. This is not a sprint... ;)

Nah I'm not rushing it. This is a holdover from when I quit vaping more than anything .

After I hadn't vaped for a few months I lost any tolerance to nicotine, but when did have that break down, in my emergency vape gear stash (for when/if I ever wanted to vape again) I had the foresight to have ejuice, but I didn't have the foresight to have kept any zero nicotine ejuice... all I had was 18mg because that was what I was vaping when I quit. Lol...

Well, I vaped that until zero nicotine came in the mail, but by the time any zero nic got here it wasn't satisfying, perhaps more in the taste difference, perhaps in the nicotine ejuice itself I don't know, but it wasn't cutting it...

So, I made up some three and stayed there except for the rare occasions I needed to buy 6mg on a juice because 3 was out of stock. (I wasnt DIYing when I quit vaping) When I began DIY I just made three mg.

Well, when I made a shake and vape recipe last week I added more flavoring, and all the nicotine wasn't fitting in the bottle and I wanted a little headroom - so I only added half the nicotine figuring once I vaped a tank I'd add more of the nicotine..

Thing is, I never added the rest... didn't need to. I'm not vaping more either... I mixed up this bottle either on the evening of the second or the morning of the third and it won't be empty until tommorow. It's a 30ml bottle so that's 7 or 8 days (basically) on this bottle . Which is likely a little less than my norm, if not about right for me... (I don't keep good track of my consumption honestly. .. lol) but I don't think I'm vaping more at all..

So... I'm thinking of just dumping it with another shake and vape bottle and see how it goes..

If I feel like freaking I've got plenty of nicotine I can add... lol

Good for you! You can only try....your body will quickly let you know if it is going to work for you or not. I am a true tootle puffer, still sitting on about 18mgs (depending on my diy) and 9 watts, but I am happy with that for the while. After smoking for 38 years - vaping has got to be better!

I've worked with mesh a bit with Genny tanks. The flavor was great when I could get it to work. I couldn't get it to work consistently, though, so I abandoned it once I got a chance to work with the ceramic wicks. Those were too brittle, LOL.

The VVM RTA looks like the required wicking is excessive to me...
I've seen vids of those Genny tanks and I'm glad that I started vaping after that passed. Looked like an exercise in frustration
