    I have a fridge and something from China waiting for me at home.

    I'll show you mine, if you show me yours (if it's not X rated) ;)

    Newest Axial rda on the dot. Not the prettiest rda I have, but definitely one of the yummiest :wub:

    But they're an English thing! Elizabeth David would be a better bet.

    You need rings to make them. Heat and grease a skillet or griddle, pop on the buttered rings, pour in the batter, and then cook until the tops of the crumpets are dry and holey. (Full disclosure: I've never made them myself, but my sister has.)
    I have the rings. I swear I thought the recipe I used was from Baking with Julia. I’ll look later for which cookbook. It’ll be the smudged page lol

    vaping on the Sigelei 213 squonk mod past two days. Even with the 5mL bottle, it's pretty good. Fits the hand well, and I like the button placement.

    Have you noticed the Armor v2 clone mod showing up as a pre-order?

    it's ticking all my boxes - full mech, side fire button, curved and small sized. Not gonna pre-order one, but I'm interested to see what ppl think of it when it does come out :w00t:

    feck, takes longer to catch up than it does to steep non fruity juices :p
    yes, kinda like there marshmallow there. odd, even my regular juices taste like that in blank.. yes i normally have no problem changing liquids. idk if i'm experiencing two coinciding problems; my cloudy flavours and/or something wrong with wick/coil. happened with last three wicks, only not sure if i'd started out with my mixes then shifted, going to rewick with something i know in the morning and well see, hope this doesn't turn into a thing now with the blank...

    anyway, thanks for the intel on effect of shaking.

    in the meantime, in case it is the .blank would appreciate pointers if anyone's experienced anything like this muting, cloudiness or whatever due to wicking or coil position or whatever..

    my esophagus huyts...

    say bye bye
    bye bye
    but forsthy hye
    horsey hye hye
    everyone nightbye

    a wise person once told me that to test ejuice mixes on an RDA, you only need to stick in a small length of cotton - you don't need big long normal RDA tails.

    So for testing now, I stick in a strip, pull it through until there's 1cm poking out the end of the coil, and cut to give me 1cm tails each side. Test the juice, pull it out. Then reinsert the long strip, repeat the previous steps, til I've tested all the mixes.

    To get your .blank RDA as it should be for normal vaping however, just use an ejuice (if you still have one) that you already know how it tastes. Practice your full wicking/coil technique with that.

    Got to say a thank you to all you guys in the States & Canada. Everything you guys have trouble getting - so do we downunder, but usually a week or so later.

    I stocked up on 2L of VG from a NZ supplier, as soon as it started to go up in price for you guys, 2 weeks ago.
    I saw this in an email from MFS today:

    I completely missed that the price was going up until this post, so thanks for this heads up..

    I just used an ELR discount code plus some of my points at LNW, and picked up a free liter, just had to pay shipping... so all's good.

    Hopefully by the time I need more all this insanity will have passed!

    Very nice. Maybe if the price drops later on and shipping gets reliable again.

    Good to hear....I bought two of those as I was a fan of the original 213. Still works too. Haven't used my squonks for ages because of chest problems so decided not to use RDA's for the moment....they tend to be about the fiercest delivery system.

    Happy squonking :)

    Have you noticed it seems under-powered for selected wattage? mine does
    That's quite likely as the original was tested at 150 watts max when it was supposed to be 213 :D divide 213 by 150 and then multiply resulting number by wattage required and run it at that figure :)

    Absolutely NO way.

    I don't even need to be in the same zip code with a spider that could get the lid off my garbage can.
    I was painting my sister house in Sydney and one of these did the quick drop thing. It was in the eaves and I was using an extension pole when it dropped on its thread heading straight for my head. I'm a bit ashamed to say it's now embedded in the paintwork :D

    I panicked :lol:

    Cloudy isn't a term most of associate with muted or weak flavor. Shaking won't mute flavor but the bubbles will make it look cloudy for awhile. Have you been using a flavor you are very familiar with? Are you adjusting air flow and wattage to find a sweet spot outside of your normal settings? Have you played with coil placement? Always keep in mind that everything about build, juice, and af is subjective to the individual. Just because certain settings are fantastic for one doesn't mean it will be fantastic for you. Vaping truly is a journey about finding your own sweet spot. Try just changing one thing at a time, if you change up several things at once you'll have a hard time figuring out what is and isn't working for you.
    @virm what total percentages are you using. I tend to keep my DIY juice to 15-20 % totals but store bought juice can be much higher.....are you sure it's not that?

    If so you'll get used to it as your palate adjusts :)

    Maybe she branched out in later years. I just always associate her with French food.

    And apologies for explaining the cooking process. I missed that you had made them before.
