Guys, I have a confession to make. After some considerable soul searching this weekend, I've decided that I'm rather fond of cereal vapes.

The first step is admitting you have a problem ... that's the part I always avoid (no problem, no need for step two).

    Morning shinies :)

    Is there a better way of testing flavours on my hadaly clone than rewicking? Its got a ss316l 3mm 6 wrap coil in it.

    I'm sure I saw somewhere about just dripping onto a clapton coil with no wick - but I'm not sure if that will work in this rda.

    It is definitely nothing spectacular, that is why I carry multiple devices with me daily and a little flavor ADHD... ;)

    There is nothing special about 2x700 batteries in single or dual cell configuration, most of them won't outlast 18650's in a med-low power vape setting. High power devices is where they really shine as you can pull 30A+ for much longer than equivalent 18650 configurations.

    I ran a pair of Sanyo 20700B's in the iJoy Captain for a while and didn't see any extra battery life even at 60W. A pair of VTC5a's in the same mod at 90W gives me much more run time even though they are 1500 mAh smaller. The Sanyo 20700B's are a good battery for 30W vaping or flashlights IMHO, I imagine a VTC6 would give you the same run time as one of the B's.

    I seem to get better run time from the Samsung 30Q batteries than any of the Sony's. I have VTC 6's, 5's and 5A's, but the 30q's seem to be the most battery life for me.
    ( I have never officially "ran a test" though )

    MAN. I have six SOLID references. Thank God, man. LOL. :)

    Now I have to decide what to do in a final battle. I may be making an expensive (but not shiny) purchase or not. And actually, I have NOT smoked yet today NOR do I feel incredibly AWFUL, either. Etc. That's pretty good, I think.

    So glad to know I have references whenever needed. I have found out I am ultra rapid metabolizer of things, ALL things (it's also why it's hard to keep weight on, yeah, if you are jealous, just try an Ensure Shake sometime, LOL). I have the extra copy of the enzyme, my mom does too and I think it's why she is so fond of codeine. It basically turns it into .......

    So, like, my choice is thus: I cannot get my HS certificate for at LEAST a week, probably, and like I have found a fairly reasonable online hair test. No, I didn't know I'd get one, no I don't habitually do much with any sort of herb (unless I am cooking, LOL) other than my MOUTH SURGERIES. Yes, I had a card, yes I was legal, my license wasn't even ACTIVATED it was no crime, etc. But, like, man, I am RIGHT AT THAT LINE with the damn hair. It could be negative (because I'm an ultra rapid metabolizer) or it could be bad. Now, I could DISCLOSE this fact (my UA will be just fine) but frankly, it's a Jail that takes like, Federal funds. I am not a chick carrying a gun (like, seriously, THANK GOD I'm not a prison guard that would be my version of hell) but also, I don't much CARE to disclose this if I don't have to, it could well be a dealbreaker and frankly my wish is to just DISCLOSE because I actually don't like being sneaky all that much period.

    But, if I tell HR lady I can't get my HS diploma for about a week (I seriously might not be able to) I guess I could order and do this test (PSA: regular UAs with an order are PUBLIC RECORD, it's not even a hippa thing) but it would take time. Alternately I could go to a regular place, probably take longer and also PUBLIC RECORD, joy (I have never once had a positive UA, by the way). Probably quicker but also more expensive.

    I need a chemist honestly but even back when I was taking a ton of benzos (less so now) they never showed up etc. So I might be FINE.

    Think I'll email lady on Monday and let her know, like, I CAN'T get my HS diploma oh, until the 17th. That may not be enough time for my start date, she may then tell me some other form of ID is acceptable (I have never, ever one time been asked for my HS diploma, holy goodness.)

    I really just want to disclose, really. But then I also just would like it if I PASSED. The problem with that is I may not have much chance/time to figure out if I WILL or not.

    I, ugh.. I know it's a jail, I know how they treat prisoners and etc., but gosh and Crush the Holy Ghost, IDK what WORKING there will be like.

    So far I have been 100% honest and no one has come at me yet, stating that I suck the big one although to be fair, I imagine employment background checks take time. I have also heard here and there, that well, employers don't WANT to disclose, even if there is a DISCLOSURE as part of the proceedings and stuff, because they can still get sued for "inaccurate information." I just sort of firmly believe that I may be fine but I wish I KNEW.

    Also, have smoked Zero cigarettes today and the husband has come out of his PTSD dissociative fugue. THANK GOD. LOL. By all rights I should be smoking like crazy, but I'm just not... Refuse to question it either. LOL.

    A friend and I won a few complete juice lines from a couple of companies years ago and we would put a silica build in an RDA for testing out flavors. Then it's just a quick rinse under water and dry burn then you are ready for the next one.

    Lot's of attys came with those prewrapped silia wick coils back in the day. Perfect for testing flavors and juices, they are thin gauge wire, so you'll have to run them low power.

    Or a mesh build if you have any Genny experience. ;)

    Just the opposite for me. I get much better run time with the VTC6, 1.5-2 days at minimum.

    @AngeNZ You can vape your cotton dry in tc mode. I do sometimes test on a bare coil, it is really only good for getting a sense of the flavors top notes. Or you can drip plain vg to clean wick. You don't need tails to flavor test btw, just cut wick to coil.

    Awesome - that makes it easier. My tails were already pretty short - I'll now make them nonexistent ;)

    LOL I think I mentioned I was gonna pick up my kabuki tanks after a swift but deadly love affair with the Ego One Mega tanks. LOL. DEADLY FOR THEM, period, but certainly deadly for my bank account.

    Heh, I filled up my titanium Kabuki (haven't vaped it in a few months) and I used the same juice as what is in my LAST tiny Ego one tank.

    It's AS good and in many ways BETTER than the CLR coil. It's kind of more subtle than the Ego Ones, although they give this full, satisfying vape.

    But I have had that thing for OVER a year, I'll bet and I must have dropped it INFINITY times and the Nautilus coil HAS NEVER once refused to read. EVER.

    I will call this a WIN. LOL. I am going to clean and set up my other one, but later. Frankly l have to go get my sleep med today or I will have 24 hours of no sleep. I can't think of anything worse for my disposition.

    LOL, but it is SUnday, the day of rest, so I also am fine, it's hardly even noon yet. I haven't smoked a cigarette. I plan to leave them at home. So far, WIN. :)

    Everyone is different, but I would not be happy with 95 puffs. I vape at roughly 70 watts.
    My Innokin Oceanus, single 20700 battery gets roughly 95 puffs, and I rarely use it because of that.
    I vape at 20-25watts and get good life out of single mods,at 70 watts a duel seems more practical for you.

    i'm using a 20700 in my pico 21700 right now,i'm so confussed;)

    This is what I do, but I leave about 1mm or so and test in TC mode.

    My juice testing atty is a Stillare clone RDA.

    I used to test in Evods because the old PT2 coil wicks were silica. The Stillare clone is better because it better represents how I'd run the juices outside the "lab."

    This is what I do. Small amount of test flavor the vape dry.
