I really like the taste and vapor produced by the kfl+. It's very easy to rebuild and I've had no leaking or dry hits. I'm using the cotton that comes in my and my S/O's medicine bottles, which are quite a few. So far I've only had to replace the cotton wicks when I take it apart to dry burn or change flavors, so it actually lasts a long time. It only takes a couple of minutes to rewick with cotton and it has a fresh, clean taste.

I hope you win one...or two! I'm sure you'll love them. They hold a lot so you just have to make sure you fill it with something you like and can stand to vape for a long while. Deadly Sin tastes stronger in mine and sweeter, too. You know how we diabetics love sweet.

 

[Thayamax]

Thaya! I've gotta thank you and your love of deadly sin The tahitian pearl is really good and so is Eve's Mistake......I have others to try but I had to stop and order those in bigger bottles!

I haven't tried either of those but I've heard good things. Deadly Sin is definitely my go-to vape. I started with 15mls, then 30, then went for the 50ml bottle. I'm now awaiting delivery of my second 100ml bottle! If you like fruit yogurt, Yoplay Parlay is good, and a little different than other creamy vapes I've tried. I'm waiting on a 30ml bottle of that one, too.

I do know only to well, I want more sweet in everything! good to know about the cotton, I thought you had to keep changing it all the time

That is frickin awesome! Way to go! It is scary starting out! My BFF I finally got on vaping, her sister had tried to get her on a huge mod and she hated it, I gave her my done up like a zombie little ego battery and she loves it! I even found a killer vape store for her to visit and she loved that as well! She's still smoking like me but substituting more and more! She has also bragged to her sister about all the new stuff she knows! Yay! Think I will paint my emergency battery like hers so we can have matching ecigs, even though we live to far apart

 

[beebopnjazz]

Of course the deadly sin was ordered too. Unfortunately GLV must use flavorings that lox can't use....or there's alcohol maybe? I'm fine with them but he reacted immediately to 3 different flavors, and he liked the tahitian pearl. So, which flavor company makes a nice coconut?

Did you get a clone? I've looked at various ones, including FT and some say this or that version, this or that manufacturer - huh? My first preferance is something that I have to know as little about it as possible and works.

I figure it's like electronics and every day I wait something better will come (hopefully cheaper too). There is one coming out that I'm waiting for. Called the ex........... (have to look up the name). My fingers are crossed it's not super expensive or decent clones appear soon.

Idk. Still looks fiddly. But 510 drip tip. Rebuild with juice in tank. Con: still no GLASS! (I vape tank killers).

Coconut? That's what I haven't found yet. I read a review about Free State Vapers coconut (Nillson because it also has lime - you know, "Put the lime in the coconut") but they need steeping. That means alcohol. Reddit15 gets a discount so I went ahead and got the VG sampler. I've been looking too.

Soon I'll have FA, NN, VZ and Inawere coconut. Those are all the coconut flavorings I know of < 3% or pg free. If none of those make the grade then I think it's SOL until something else comes along. Wonder how hard an extraction from coconut is?

 

[beebopnjazz]

Yep - the Tahitian Pearl is pear, coconut and lime (w/ a little menthol) - ADV worthy....

My sleep schedule is so messed up. Just woke up and child is trying to fall asleep on me.

Awaiting shipping confirmation for the contest I won. Figure I will give a few days before I ask for tracking.

Ahlusion makes a few vapes with coconut in them. I know Lox likes tobacco. They make a tobacco with coconut called Shipwreck. There are reviews of it on the Ahlusion thread here:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/446286-ahlusion-e-juice.html

I just ordered Sweet Surrender which is a cream and coconut and some kind of berry. Here is the Vapor Rater review of it.

Vapor Rater

I think Fijian Nights and Cocoberry Cream have coconut, but reading in the thread the Cocoberry Cream does not have a dominant taste of coconut. If you do order from Ahlusion, be aware that they list their pg/vg ratios weird. They do their juices listing the VG First. So be careful when ordering. If you order $20 of regular juices (not Xpress or airomatic tobaccos) you can ask for a free 10ml sample of a regular menu juice. Just specify name, nic, vg/pg ratio. You will get an email in a few weeks for feedback and a code with 15% off your next order (good for 2 weeks). I am ordering juice just from Ahlusion and Plume Room for the past 3 months. They do not use cinnamon or diacetyl or dirivitives. They do use some kind of spice in their Spiced Pumpkin Latte that reacts on me like cinnamon. Spiced Pumpkin Latte has not been a favorite of the people on the thread, just to let you know. They have very good tobaccos.

 

[etherealink]

you can find and add me (you have my name already.. lol.. and when i search your name i find 4 guys. one in germant, 2 in Montana.. and one that may be you but last publucly posted in 2013) and the group is called KAREN'S VAPING KONTEST KRUSHERS.

Sweet as soon as I get home tonight I'm on it

 

[etherealink]

I gotta find a picture that expresses what I think about rebuilding.

Maybe i'll trade juice for coils.

I'm all in for that one!!

RTDVapor.com has the Smok Tech mini rebuildable atomizer marked down to $3.00 each. Normal price is $7.99 so this is a great deal. I am pretty sure the unknown RBA I have that I swapped for at a vape meet is one of these. I put a microcoil and cotton in it and it is vaping all right so far. The airflow is up from the bottom not on the side like the Igo-L. Comes in a few colors too.

Rebuildable Atomizers

 

[aikanae1]

Your descriptions have made my mouth water for Ahlusions many times. I never would have put together Carmel Pear Black tea (I ordered FA black tea too) and they do their own extractions/nets. But it's still 10% PG and that's to high for my comfort zone It's frustrating.

I gotta ask is there that much difference between a rebuildable dripper and a 510 / 306 atomizer?

Aik. Take what I say with a grain of salt because I have very limited experience with RBAs or RDAs or whatever you call them. The only drippers I have used are the Joy3 510 attys at 2.3ohm.

I have an Igo-L that a friend gifted me and built me a 2.2ohm coil on it with cotton. I started it clean with 15 drops of my Caramel Pear Black Tea and it is better than my my 510 atty, but different. More vapor. I am getting more sweetness than tea. With the 510 atty I was getting less sweetness and a clear black tea on exhale. When I refill the Igo-L I drip 10 drops since there is residual liquid in it. You do not want to let it get dry - some definite nastiness there. I am liking the Igo-L. Mine does not have the air hole drilled out larger. If I knew how I think I would do that. There seems to be a lot more air flow/volume passing through the atty. Different experience.

The second RDA I have is the little Smok Tech mini RDA. It looks like a little aluminum beehive. I do not know what this is supposed to be built out to or how many drops it holds. I am not even sure if what I have is that atty. The top screws on to the base, which I like better than having to pull off the Igo-L top. I built a 3.0ohm microcoil and use a cotton ball wick. I have been vaping it all night with Smooth Criminal, a tobacco. Again, much more vapor than my 510 atty. More airflow/volume. The taste of the tobacco is closer to the same as my 510 atty. That may just be the juices I am using in both attys.

I like both the Igo-L and the Smok Tech mini rda. I will never give up my Joye 510 attys and since I bought a lot of them I do not have to. The RDAs that I am using are a different experience than a 510 atty. I like that they will hold 10 to 15 drops (or more) of juice at one time so I am not dripping every minute or two. The flavor seems more intense but if you do not line the coil up right with the airhole you get almost no flavor. More work and more chance of error with the rda/rbas. Ease of use my 510 atty all day long. No thought process at all for me anymore.

I just got my Russian 91% this past weekend. I have not even taken it apart yet. I am still playing with the little guys to learn to make coils and how much cotton to use in a wick. I am not going to fill the Russian with over 4ml of my favorite juice to find out I do not know how to build a coil right or how much cotton to use. So, one step at a time.

I would buy and Igo-L and a Smok Tech mini rda. They are both pretty cheap and have a nice clear deck to build on. Much larger and easier than an evod or protank head. I tried rebuilding those and I can not and will not do it. Not worth the aggravation for me.

That Artistic Wire Gizmo thingy made the coil making easy for me. Now I am getting used to mounting the coil on the devices. It is close work and I have to train my hands to play with the tiny things. But I have gotten 2 of my first 4 coils to work successfully. I am still zeroing in on how to get the right ohms. So I am keeping notes on what gauge wire and how many wraps gives me what ohms.

I would go for it. If I can do this and figure it out you can. I am actually enjoying it. Get addled a bit if I have to fiddle a lot to mount the thing. But so far I am quite pleased with the outcome.

That looks like the cheapy I got at Fasttech! I like it, but it's a bit messy and very, VERY small...

I have one that looks just like it (got it in a trade so do not know what it is) and it is the same diameter of my Igo-L and a good 1/4 inch taller. So what I have is not the mini?

This is confusing. But thanks Alisa. I hate to give out wrong info. Now I have to figure out what I have again. Oh well.
