PLEASE NOTE: The Samsung 25R-R2 (Blue) is being phased out for Samsung 25R-R5 (Green)
the batteries have the same performance but the R5 should have better cycle life according to Samsung.

I thought it was the green ones that was being phased out. I have some of both of them and they work well for me.

I don't actually get a flavor from nic but rather a harshness.

NN has none of the harshness. MFS is based on percentage. TH is harsh even at very low percentages.

Steeping mellows most of them out but time doesn't help TH. Nasty stuff.

NN is 60 bucks a liter on sale. For 20 bucks a year + extra over MFS is say it's worth it.

Sale must be over, I have the NN site up and its showing $105/liter.

When I started doing DIY I was around 12mg nic and have cut myself down to 3 mg where I am planning to stay. That low I doubt if TH nic would make much of a difference to my batches, or NN for that matter.

Recently, I've found that 3mg nic is harsh to me, PLUS it gives me too much of an adrenaline rush. I don't like it. I mixed up some 1mg and a bunch of zero mg and as I feel I need some, I'll hit the 1mg, but the rest of the time (especially afternoons and evenings) I try to stay with the zero nic stuff. We got MFS nic in the 100mg/ml VG base, and at 1mg I can't notice anything at all, but at 3 it makes me cough now. And a month ago, I was at 4 and 6 mg with the SAME STUFF. It's weird.

I thought maybe I was done with nicotine finally, so didn't use any for quite some time (maybe a week), but found I was feeling tired and worn-out, so I went back to the 1mg stuff in the mornings and sometimes afternoons, and now I'm fine again.

I never thought it would be this hard to find the correct nic level! LOL! It's nice that I can adjust it at will, though. When I smoked, I got what was in there, which I now realize was way too much.

I dunno about harshness; I've been using the TH nicotine almost since the beginning of DIY, because a) I love TH, and b) I love saving money. I don't get any harshness at all; I really can't tell a bit of diff between the TH nic and what I got from wizlabs and from ECX. It's just nicotine. I still have to add Flash to my mixes.

I like Nude Nicotine, too, but they are one of the most expensive. Lately I've been getting mine from Nicotine River. Very smooth and very good prices. And they do have sales on occasion.

The Green ones are newer and the Blue ones are being phased out. I don't think the Green ones are THAT noticeably better though. I dont have any Green ones, just info I read around..

What color are the 30Q's? I thought I'd get those next time, since I never come anywhere near their 15A; 3000mAh is better than 2500mAh.

I need to get some LG HG2's when I have some spare money, they are in and out of stock a lot(Everywhere, You may not even notice it), makes me worry!

BTW, one of you mentioned unicorn bottles recently -- where's the best price on those, the 15ml version? vapor beast sent me one as a freebie when I got my kbox mini, and I really like it!!!

Andria

I snagged some from FT. Depending on the color cap, I was getting 5 for less than $1.50. I grabbed a few 30mLs along with the 15mL

I think I have Vapors Tongue, or Nose every time I exhale through my nose with my Menthol it kinda smells like cotton! Tried in 4 Blisterpack Clearos If I vape my Fruit flavor through a KF or Sub Ohm Tank, I don't smell cotton.. Anyone ever had a similar experience with Menthol flavors? Also its 24mg Nic.

Also, the taste is muted in my mouth as-well..

Vapor Bank order came today. I can't even believe it, later Thursday afternoon and waiting for me today when I got home.

Its about 5 pound of toys.

Bunch of Tobecco K4's. And some Orchid V4 for decks. I used to use a Silverplay with a K4 and its was my favorite but I'm trying to make a Kayfun tootle puffer with decent air and all my Orchids are V6's.

So far so good with the Orfun. No leaks. At .6 its a little hotter then I wanted it but not bad. Decent airflow. Little noisey. Nice to have top fill with a Orchid. Also about a foot shorter then the Kayfun. Looks WAAAAAAY better on the Radius and won't tip it over.

Also got a black Kayfun 3.1 for my Provari 2.5. I didn't realize they were so big. Gonna be about 18 inches long on the Provari. What my wife calls the Provari now is gonna be even more true.

Picked up some Carvella clones made by Hcigar for I think 4 bucks. The case they came in is worth 6 bucks. The mods are super nice. Got a Chuthulu on one now and its very nice.

If I remember right I got my HG2s for less than $6 each at RTDVapor.

Got a total of 6 of them now.
And 6 other 18650's that are good for up to 20 watts.
7 18500 and 6 18350's.

those blue Sammys have been around awhile...

what I take away from reading that,
under IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES
push the button they act the same, but
life cycle
maybe say: the Green one lasts 20 min longer...
maybe the Green will re-charge 146 times vs 139 times...


but I don’t know, just something I read, thought I’d pass it along…
