Darn international shipping times! So excited for my TMNB. What are you using for an atty?
Heh me too. Although for me it wasn't the shipping, that was just a couple of days. Mine's been stuck in customs, and I haven't even gotten the duty fees yet, which means I'm going to be lucky to get it by Friday next. The joys of international trade........:(:mad::-x

What's that they say about anticipation?;) Bah, just give me my Rat now, pleez.....:nun:

I have all of the bridges and even had the uno and the racing and kanger rba give the best overall dense flavor that I love and the airflow is the perfect restricted lung hit. It is also fairly quiet, no load pops or whistle so the wife is happy too.

And it's a truly marvelous thing that there is something for everyone. I had the good fortune of hitting it perfectly with the first non-carto release, and I'm thankful for that. It made my coil stockpiling efforts that much easier.

How DOES that saying go again... jeez... something SO profound...

"Taste is..." (daymit! I can't remember). :lol:

@Katdarling - HOW does that go again???

I am a certified flavor chaser, so I really need to look into this setup. I'm currently using the nautilus bridge in the 3.a and the BVC bridge in the Rev. 4. I vape mainly dessert flavors and Suicide Bunny - Mother's Milk through the 1.6 ohm Nautilus coil (3.a set to 4.75 volts) is amazingly flavorful. I'd go as far as saying that it's probably the most flavorful vape I've ever had.

I am on the other end of the spectrum.. I don't care about flavor.. When I smoked, and why I vape now, is for the throat hit...

How bad is my non flavor chasing? Well...... I use 120 ml bottles and I take 115 ml of unflavored VG/PG mix and then dump 5 ml of flavored juice in there... Shake, shake, shake = Vape! It gives me a very minor / subdued / seriously diluted amount of flavor..

I really think most juice is over flavored! Don't get me wrong though, I like a little flavor as opposed to straight up VG/PG mix but I can vape that too sometimes.

For me it's all about the throat hit..

I do much the same as you. I like flavor, don't get me wrong, but diluted with PG/VG suits me just fine!

I have only held onto my comfort bridge this long as I am waiting on the RBA deck labeled the VFTF. I used to use kabuki tanks and I have a local friend who worked with china manufacturers to get RBA decks made for the nautilus coils so it will be interesting to see the flavor I can get off those.

Alpha...My guess is you have, but if not...Nicoticket's ACB is pure perfection in a dessert flavor.

Ah, I forgot all about the throat hit! Like @raqball, the only reason why I smoked the stinky sticks was because I loved the sensation of inhaling the smoke. So yes, although I'm a flavor chaser, the throat hit is equally as important.

I haven't tried any Nicoticket e-liquids, but I keep hearing great things about them. I'm going to place an order with them now, as I'm curious about this flavor!

I think Nicoticket might still be offering their BOGO for new customers. If that is the case, feel free to PM me...I have tried most of their flavors :)

With the rev4 I use the roo or pretty much just my racing bridge.

I have so many questions! Does the racing work with the other subtank coils? I keep scratching my head trying to decide if I should pick some up for when my racing arrives

I have not tried it but it might work with the other kanger coils but I also have a roo so I did not need to try. I wouldn't see why it wouldn't as the racing works with the rba due to the new positive pin for the rba deck itself.

Re: flavor and throat hit
I've noticed that most people use 50/50 or higher in favor of VG. For some reason I've always gone with 70/30 PG/VG (sometimes 60/40) especially because of the throat hit. When I started many years ago I went through a flavor madness phase, but that quickly passed, and for the last 4 (ish) years I've been vaping unflavored 6mg nic.

Is that not normal, and am I an outlier (wouldn't be the first time :D)? Would be interesting to see if the median/mode clusters around 50/50.

Ugh, procrastinating--my turn to put the kids to bed:cry::shock:. That typically takes at least half an hour just to get started. And it's hot in Denmark today (26-28C / 78/82F), so they're going crazy.

If you message Ohman on Facebook, he has some ready to ship. I ordered one direct yesterday and he mailed it out today.

Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered the Kangaroo and two custom drip tips for my Rev. 4s.

We are still vaping 70/30 Pg/Vg. It makes a difference when all the new gear is targeted to higher VG. My lungs just can't handle higher VG and as for throat hit I like the ice TH of menthols and Koolada..........flavour is super important.

As time goes on we are reducing the percentage of flavour in all our eliquids......it must be the taste buds ageing

not kat, but it's like..... sublime, sassy, superfluous....subtle.......I know it begins with an "S" :lol:

JUP!! I do like more flavor than you, but TH is most important. My tastey buds never did really recover, so I'll vape sometimes 60 mls straight of the same flavor.

As to NT, I'm a fruity flavored person, and fell in love with their Betelgeuse. Now I make one that is close enough for me.

I have a local friend who worked with china manufacturers to get RBA decks made for the nautilus coils so it will be interesting to see the flavor I can get off those.
wow.....those are teeny, hope you can see it, much less build on it lol

I do my DIY at 70-75 PG so I can get a great throat hit and better flavor. Plus, like xx, I just can't take heavy VG. Feels too heavy on my chest. Might even try some 80pg

I'm in the minority on this one. I don't like throat hit. It's all about the flavor!

Must be 'cuz taste is supercalifragilisticexpialidociois! Er, nope, that's not it! :lol:
