I am coming to realize that I can only taste e-juice between waking and like 1PM
I change juice from my coffee flavor to fruit flavor midday on my RDA. I keep the apple cinnamon muffin in my driving RTA all day, and I keep lava flow and berries in my nic hitter all day, and it is a grab bag which one I hit based off of whichever one is accessible. I found my iced macchiato is a very delicate flavor that goes away very quickly if I over vape it over the day, at the same time, it is my favorite.

For the DIYers, what is the best route for nicotine, nic salt or regular? Everything that I have read seems to favor salts and personally, the fact that they made all the difference in me quitting is a big plus, ie. stability, ability to go higher percentage, etc. What is the reason for selecting regular nicotine in recipes over salts?

From what I understand, Nic salts are smoother. They are also newer, as in the last 6 months is the first time I've heard of them so for a very long while, regular nicotine was the only option. Either way, with DIY it's more important to worry about knowing how to hit your nic target than it is the actual form of nic. You don't want to miscalculate and over do it. Use an ejuice calculator. and double check your measurements.

Free base nicotine is less expensive so if throat hit doesn't bother you then free base is the way to go.

If throat hit bothers you then smooth salts are the way to go.

Either way - listen to @HauntedMyst .. most important is measuring properly.

Didn't watch it all, but mega thanks for posting.

My intial thoughts on the new RDA are...25mm? I'll have to wait and see but I've been leaning towards smaller RDAs. I swear I heard him say 25mm, if so I may pass.

The little bit on the 80w, about what I'd guessed already. Gene chip in a Pulse with issues addressed. Will it raise more? For nit picky mega vapers yep. Can't please everyone.

I will most likely pick one up, I don't know. Wanting to pair down what I have now, 7 squonks with 8th on the way early March.

I will say, as an educated guess, that if you're interested in squonking and want (what appears to be) a quality 1st device, this may be a great buy.
