It's 12mg and the 30ml bottle but I presume it's the same.

It's hard to judge. What one person finds full taste another finds overpowering. What one person finds flat another finds smooth.

It's certainly less powerful than the Liqua TradTob but I found that too strong a taste, I usually vape more minty flavour blends.

Ok, we are on the same basic map I think. I guess it's just not enough flavor for me. The Traditional tobacco comparison is a good one I think, I fond it to be just about right on flavor intensity so I guess the RY4 they have is just not my game.
Thanks for the reply!

Geez, I'm going to have to trade off this Ithaka clone. I believe this device is of the Devil himself. I can't use any of my juice in it, the flavors all taste wrong because it works so well and I get a major nicotine buzz every time I hit it. I normally chain-vape 18mg, but one hit of it on this Ithaka and wow... party time.
I'll seriously have to redo all of my DIY recipes with less flavoring and cut the nic at least in half if I ever hope to use this thing.

Sounds like a win win to me.
Save on flavors and reduced Nic consumption. Sweet!!

Use up your flat tasting RY4

If you want to run dual coil you should drill the air holes out to at least 2.5mm, and there should be two of them. You need substantially (twice as much?) airflow to run duals.

I don't know about the Ithaka clone but on others drilling out other RDA/RBA's you shouldn't jump right to 2.5mm. That may be what you like but that doesn't mean everyone will like that. That is quite large and once drilled out it's really hard to make them smaller.
On my V9 dual the inner holes aren't even 2.5mm (more like 2.3mm, 3/32" which seems to be popular around here) and the outside holes that matter are 1.75mm same as the single hole on my IGO-L. That's where I like it not were everyone should instantly jump to.

That's all you had to say ... ordered!!!

The only one I have tried is the Clove. I bought it in 50ml size. I really like it I have ordered it 3 times.

But what does it taste like ?
Fresh tangy clove - dull, flat stale clove - or really more like allspice?
Is it strong or weak or barely there ?
Can you taste any depth or layers to it?

I'm glad you like it, but that doesn't tell me anything at all about what it actually tastes like.

I decided to throw in 2 350's stacked and screwed on the Ithaka. It does make a huge difference but these battery threads have me downright paranoid about doing this, that's why I've never tried it before. Is it over-hyped? Like, if I have AW's that have been in strict rotation with the same amount of cycles, would I be relatively safe stacking them in a SVD? I don't want to start a battery debate for the love of God, just wondering if I'm being too paranoid about it. What are your thoughts?

This was my fourth e-cig. I did the DIY kit though. It uses stacked 14500s. This was long before I joined ECF and heard about the "dangers" of stacked batteries. I've been using stacked batts for 2 1/2 years. The only trouble I ever had was when a cheap charger overcharged a pair of Efest 18350s. Not saying it couldn't happen though so YMMV!

I'll do you a solid. I'll trade you a troublesome Pro-Tank to it. The flavor is weak, it leaks occasionally, and I have no extra coils for it. Yep.....a real piece of crap! PM me for address exchange.

If people advise against it... I usually try it! I think the whole stacking batteries scare is another bs blown out of proportion internet unicorn. Too many numpties have internet access and love to type. I like to tell the ladies I live life on the edge while simultaneously pushing up my nerd glasses and stacking 18350's. Yeah, I'm pretty hardcore...

Try a 1/16" drill bit micro coil with a cotton wick in that Protank, it might just breath some new life into it.

Yeah, I have but something is still off. All is my micros have worked great in my Evods. I'm sure it is salvageable, but I have to acquire the will to try again first! thanks!

Now that I think about it my third e-cig was a Prodigy V3.1 running stacked Tenergy batts at 6 volts. I'd love to get my hands on the illegitimate child that stole that thing! See all my stacked battery mods in my equipment album!

Back on topic. Some of the stuff I ordered said "ships in four business days".

I fully agree about internet bs getting blown out of proportion where one person's experience (or claim) is parroted by 50 others who have no idea. But the theory behind stacked batteries is sound, one battery pumping too much power through another battery makes the lesser battery very unhappy. And you are doubling the odds of a battery being bad.
While I don't say stacking is automatically bad (the Vamo kits sold with 18350s that probably aren't the safest ones to stack, people who have no idea what they're doing are stacking them and people aren't exploding right and left) it is something that you should know what you're doing with, like sub-ohm coils, because not knowing what you are doing can lead to a bad outcome.

The reason I don't see a need for myself to stack is I also think the need for high amp vaping is blown out of proportion.

let me jump right on that!

 

[FnMag]

Its like the whole xxxfire battery thing. I've been using trustfires in some high-powered flashlights for a long time. I'm talking 9 14500s in a Mag running a halogen bulb, boro glass and metal reflector type flashlight. With NO issues. Yes I have IMRs and panny cgrs as well as vapage, trustfire & ultrafires. Sometimes the flattops need a magnet to charge or be used but that's for most anybrand it seems.

I hear ya. The only time I really think it's necessary is for those dual coils or quads that take some nuggets to get em going. Anything like what stock builds the ithaca, igo's and such come with although they ohm out under 2ohms. The limit a 18650 or 18350 will do just doesn't cut it. Crank it up to 6 volts all ya want it's not even doing 5 lol

Exactly! that is why people think the Vamo rocks with dual 18350's. Of course it does, they are running 7.4v-8.4v regulated down.

 

[Myk]

I also think duals and quads are blown out of proportion.
Seems like everything is blown out of proportion on the internet. "OMG!! This is the world's most ___________ (dangerous, best, etc.)!" when they're really not that big of a change over the last "OMG" thing.

When I ordered my AGA's the place had just got AGA dual coils in. I looked and debated and then decided it would take more power to use more liquid and probably wouldn't be that much better than a single.
Speaking of which, if AGA's are made in China I wonder why FT doesn't carry them? Surely it would be like everything else and the prices we see domestically would be squashed by FT.

I just noticed that a whole lot of products are out of stock now. 650mah,900mah,1100mah black twist- regular 1300 black, regular 1100black regular 900 black and a whole lot more are all listed ship in 3 days or, and this is the first time I have seen this, it says ships in 2-4 days. V3 ships in four days. MVP ships in 3 days. Even the ego to 510 adapte is ship in 5 days. A lot of the most popular items are out of stock.

I'll say again, FT is flooded with the e-cigg market and they are struggling to keep up.
