BA,

Ahhhh thank you my good sir :blush:

I am glad you are having a positive experience with the Biansi. Our mission statement is Affordable Quality! and I'll do my damnedest to remain true to our moto. Our customers are extremely important to us. If we fail then they fail and the culminating results of such failures is loosing someone back to "acoustic cigarettes" (couldn't help myself I like that catchy phrase coined by a British humorist). Our business model is such that if I wouldn't vape it, I won't stock it. It is that simple :) Sifting the chaff from the wheat is an ongoing task that takes up a lot of my time, but our customers only deserve the best IMHO and hence why we will carry what is deemed as the best vice short lived fads. It is the test of time vice first impressions that provides value for dollars spent ;)

+1 for the Switcher. Been away from the forums for ages but not from vaping. I needed a change. Tried tanks, cartos, mods, LR, HR, meh...all of it. The iMIST is a great device, and thanks to Switcher for carrying it. And it's Switched...you are going to get the best service around.

Over and out peeps!

Great to see an old name from the past again! Hope all is well in your world, Born and hope to see you posting again in these here parts. Glad to hear you are enjoying that iMist ... took a real hard look at it myself but as I seem to have found a juice that does it for me and they are from Juggy's and we know how high the VG content is in them ... well, it doesn't appear that this would be the best choice for me at this time.

Switched - do you think you might bring in some bottom feeders one day (beside the Boge Revolution!)?

Fisher, I tried filling a tank with Jugheads 100 percent VG Jokesmoke 2.0. It works, but Switcher is right, it's not a good fit. Now, I use Jokesmoke 70/30 blend on the iMIST and it works absolutely wonderfully.

Hope that helps.
... as not all VG or VG liquids are created equal as a responsible vendor I have to point out the obvious wrt "any" tank systems. I used/use 100% VG but then again I mix my own liquid therefore, I suit the individual liquids to the device they will be meant to be vaped in for best performance. Too many folks blame set ups on the device itself rather than the appropriate culprit :)

True....its why sometimes you gotta test things out. Vaping isn't a perfect vice. After a while, it just becomes part of the adventure.

I did test out the iMIST with numerous other juices....pure VG from most vendors I have in my collection just doesn't wick well, and you get a burnt taste quickly. I moved to my 50/50 blend juices, and a similar result. They work, just...MEH. The device working is one thing, but if you aren't getting the full effect from your juice, it's something to consider.

Right now I can give definite thumbs up to the Jugheads 70/30 split juices, and all the BWB juices thus far. The flavor just pops with this darn thing, and the throat hit is, in my humble opinion, more satisfying than my 1.5 ohm high priced atomizers.

As you can tell, I'm a fan of this device. (shameless plug)

LOL, I'll take all the shameless plugs you can dish out and raise you, I haven't figured that one out yet :) I'll raise you something :lol:

Exactly BA hence why the disclaimer right on the site. I have used mine since they arrived, same atty different tank as I lost the end seal on the tank. Never been cleaned yet and still performs like the day I got it. Let's re-phrase that one, better than the day I got it. The atty does require a break in period, but as it becomes seasoned, it performs like a Timex or Energizer Bunny, called and raised ;)

ummmm, I never carried the Boge Revolution???

I receive loads of solicitations daily, the majority I simply dismiss (ambulance chasers). I reply to the odd one. I was in the line up for a VV this morning, passed. It was reviewed as a device with questionable reliability and quality. The problem with the Chinese is they are not interested in selling you a sample, they want an order. They will sell you what they call "sample kits" (same price) with your order. The majority of these deals have an MOQ of 100, duh! I don't think so.

Re-selling what is already out there is not an option, not if we want to remain affordable, which is what folks want :) So it has to fall within our moto Affordable Quality! or it simply doesn't see our shelves.

On another note, it is difficult to get the real McCoy at times with all the counterfeiting going on. This counterfeiting has transgressed into some brand names e.g AW, more specifically the 26500 cell. AW hasn't carried the cell for quite some time, that is from the man himself, but we still see them surface here and there and hence why we probably won't see the birth of the 20mm round.

For folks who may be worried wrt the cells we carry, rest assured they are AWs. Why? The e-cigarette business is a spit in the ocean compared to the flashlight industry which is AWs bread and butter. The discontinuation of the 26500 was due to supply and demand, not enough demand.

Sorry for the long explanation, I believe folks have a right to know where we come from and where we intend to go. So far people are please with our direction. The rapport we build is not taken lightly and is the driving force behind improvement :D

@BA - I assume you mean 70 PG/30 VG, right? Glad to hear you are enjoying the iMist so much. Means a lot to hear another 'old timer' give a thumbs up about a product. My Ego's and VV Kgo are still performing but ... I don't know ... I'm just tired of them for some reason. Getting kind of tired of the 'cartos' thing and all the other clearos I've tried have usually worked awesome at first but then a substantial drop off in flavor or leaking issues crops up (and I know it is a LOT of 'user error' here!). Maintaining flavor is my No 1 priority in vaping. Which is why I was looking at something like a VMod XL bottom feeder. Thought that liquid straight to an atty would be the answer. Hmm ... actually ... guess that's kind of what the iMist does, right? ;)

@Switched - thanks for that great explanation. Also very interesting to hear that you have been using the iMist so continuously with so little maintenance required. Cleaning atties is another 'what the hell am I doing?' issue. I don't really care all that much about VV in a unit. I don't understand batteries enough to know 'the good, the bad and the ugly' about all that. Just looking for something simple and that can hold the flavor and TH over the long term. At my age, simple is not only preferred, it's practically mandatory! :D

I have about 100 mls of Juggy's juice right now to go through (was lucky enough to win 3rd prize in his monthly draw last month so really got stocked up!). Am reluctant to thin it down due to the 'loss of flavor' issue. Although I must say that my biggest flavor does seem very thin even though it is labeled as VG. Damn it! Guess I'll go and look at your video again, Switched, and think ... think HARD ... LOL.

Really liking my Mod Hangout Switcher. It has clean up my clutter by half, still working on the other half.

I was wondering when IMR 18350s would be available. I need to get some for a surprise PV I wasn't expecting to buy. It won't ship until the end of the month so I have some time before I would need them.
