I compared the Mixx 18650 battery tube to a 21700 battery.
I'm somewhat the same but you are missing out a bit without flavourart. Their flavours are mostly second to none for strength and authenticity..... they're not cheap though....
I've just got mine and still waiting for my Ether bridge before firing it up. I'm not particularly interested in the SBS kit as it's already SBS and the whole point is that you can use most of the Billet box bridges in the supplied tank. If you are a Billet box fan....the Ether is about the only bridge that won't fit in a Boro tank but all your BB bridges will fit in the Abyss.
I use a lot of FA flavors. FlavourArt flavors are more highly concentrated versus CAP or TFA/TPA flavors. With many of the FA flavors 2% (or less) works great. Many CAP or TFA/TPA flavors would require double that, or more, to equal the same potency.
Agreed and most Inawera flavours are the same...strong potency at lower percentages.
I really don't use many CAP or TFA/TPA flavors anymore. Only a few. Most I gave to my younger brother when I helped him get going with DIY. I prefer FA, FLV, MF, INW, SSA, VT and WF (+SC) along with a couple others. Those are more highly concentrated as well. Especially the MF flavors. MF's are the most highly concentrated that I know of. A couple of my recipes using MF flavors don't exceed 3% total flavoring. And those are easily just as potent as some juices that contain well over 15% total flavoring. I have one single flavor MF recipe that is 0.5% total (Peach) and full flavor!
It's an interesting one.
After the mail ban when shiny is hard to come by, I may explore their flavors. I’ll have to clean out the cubby though, I have about 300 flavors in there now. I used to experiment all the time, I just kind of got out of the habit.
Agreed....they are chemicals mostly so they effect everyone differently. I appear to be one of those people that can't taste strawberry although I've heard that a touch of strawberry taffy can work....I must try it sometime.
I don't know that there are any negatives. The current 18650 Mixx battery tube is pretty heavy duty. I like its 2mm thickness. If the new 21700 battery tube is ~1mm or less it may feel, IDK, somehow cheaper, or of lesser quality, if that makes sense. It's going to be a tight fit for sure. I will pass.
Hi Zazie
I've tried nearly all the strawberry flavors. My favorite for realism, before MF's, was FA Strawberry (Red Touch) at 3-3.5% mixed with FA Juicy Strawberry at 1.75-2.5%. Combined they were very realistic, nothing artificial.
I suppose since it’s just a metal tube, it won’t pose a shipping problem after the ban kicks in. I’ll wait then if you think it’s iffy for fitting. It def would be nice to have the Mixx take a 21700. Fingers crossed!!
I’m loving the MF I have. Have you tried the dark chocolate? I need to sft it it first, but I was toying around in my head with that plus MF butterscotch and caramel, LB ice cream, a nut ( INW mixed nut???) and something for a cone for a Nutty Buddy kind of vibe.I've tried nearly all the strawberry flavors.

On ELR there were some folks who couldn't taste strawberry using the s-berry flavors most use in DIY. A few of those tried MF Strawberry, discovered they could taste s-berry again and really like it.
MF Strawberry is the most realistic IMO. It tastes like a juicy ripe California strawberry. I'm planning on doing a mix with MF and the two FA s-berries. It'll be a very simple 4 flavor mix with FLV Cream, as a test. Then I'll likely add either a cake or cookie flavor for a foundation. FW Yogurt would also work well for separate recipe.
We should know soon enough. The Aspire store said it will be on-sale later this month. I'm looking forward to seeing what people have to say.
