Well, at least I had some vape mail today. Got in Drew's 3.5ml Big Gulp attys, iGos, HV Fluxomizers and some Nhaler juice. And, oh yeah, since I'm stuck I refuse to suffer alone. Behold my first impressions summaries.
3.5 Big Gulp Atty
I filled this, using a syringe, with a oft-vaped and relatively delicate flavor to see if there was any off taste and I haven't detected any. I set it aside for about 15 minutes while I filled the other vape vessels and put the tip back on. The opening is too big for my 801 Twisted, stainless or delrin 801 tips but the whistle tip isn't awfully annoying. Now, this is a testament to how much I trust Drew...I popped that joker on the Darwin and went to gas up the mom mobile. At 9.4 pixies the draw and flavor were good and by the time I got home there are still no dry spots in the carto. In fact, it looks like I'd just filled it. So far, so useable. I expected no throat hit because this is a low nic fruit flavor. and the flavor intensity is standard for vaping through fill. I'm going to use this one the rest of the evening and then try the other one but pretty sure already they're worthy of keeping on hand.
iGo
Tried this one with Drew's Asian Pear but kinda wish I'd gone with a familiar flavor because I can't tell if this is a light flavor or if the iGo is muting a flavor. The throat hit, for 10mg, is good. Either way I love the draw on this thing on both the Darwin and a high drain 18650 battery. Above 5.1 pixies I worry about burning but between the low 4's and there the vapor is warm though there isn't a lot of punch on the 18650. This one started sounding dry sooner than the Big Gulp but its a new carto, not broken in yet.
HV Fluxomizers
Once again I was foolish enough to use an unfamiliar flavor, High Octane Banana Laurel, so I can't really speak to how well these are wicking up flavor. I had the Darwin up to 9+ pixies and fired it up. The ohms reading was 3.9 which was impressive but the coil being so high meant it heated up like a lil 306 furnace and was too hot. Still ended up having to lower to 5ish pixies. The wick really is fatter which is interesting. Can't wait to get some stainless versions for when my tanks' CE2's need replacing.
