Ah.. well I have it in the alcohol right now; figured I'd let it stay there for an hour or so, then soak in hot soapy water again. If that doesn't work, I'll try the boiling water. Not *terribly* concerned about the o-rings, I've got several pkgs of spares that came with my various kayfuns, including that one kayfun that doesn't work worth a flip and I don't use, so for the moment, o-rings aren't a huge concern.

The old carto is still functioning with decent taste, none of that hot metal taste, though it is starting to leak just a bit, so I have to take it off the Vamo and swab the battery post every couple hours. This entire shipment of smok cartos has been a bit troublesome; they all seemed to leak just a bit, and one of them only lasted about 3 days before it got that awful hot metal taste. In the vv3 thread, Katdarling put me on to Ikenvape cartos, and their single-coil flanged 3ohm punched cartos are really inexpensive, so I thought I might try them this time. They were out of stock a couple days ago when I checked them, but maybe they'll be back in stock later in the week, when I have the wherewithal to order.

I tried some of the blueberry muffin in the T3S last night, and it's really not too bad; good throat hit, but somewhat lacking in flavor. I figure that lack of flavor may be because I'm so danged spoiled with Kayfuns, which is why I had the idea to try the blueberry again in a kayfun. Also, although I used the T3S tanks for quite a while when I first started, I find now that I don't really care for the feel of its mouthpiece on my lips, and those of course don't have removable driptips.

Thx!

Second try:

Usually the taste and scent sticks to the o-rings. I discovered that with my Protank. I tried blueberry (liqua) and didn't like it. Washed the tank but could still taste the blueberry so I washed it again but no good. Finally I discovered the smell coming from the top and bottom silicon O-ring that holds the glass tank. Boiled them and rinse them in HP and no more smell :)

I didn't buy anything today BUT I'm drooling over an Orchid right now. Two air holes, four juice channels, small in design and a double coil deck... Oh I so want one... Please stop me!...


... Or not :D

Yeah true. Comercial expresso machines are cleaned weekly with salt though and when they aren't rinsed properly... Blah... At least you don't get to pay the coffee but it's horrible :)

Have to try vinegar some day thought... Since it's acidic, won't it hurt plastic parts like tank, o-rings or insulators?

It doesn't hurt them, but my experience has been that plastic absorbs the vinegar smell, and THAT is nearly impossible to get rid of. I have some old ejuice bottles saved when I emptied them so I'd have spares, but had to throw away several that got that smell in them and I couldn't get rid of it again.

I got that kayfun done and filled it with the blueberry, but I didn't like it in the kayfun any better than the first time I tried it. When I vape it in the cartotank, I get the whole blueberry muffin taste; in the kayfun, the muffin kinda gets lost, and I just taste the blueberry. Which isn't bad of course, but it feels lacking, since the muffin is supposed to be there. Without the muffin, it's a "sharper" taste.

So, when I paid my credit card payment, I noticed that I did still have a little leeway on the card, so I went ahead and ordered 4 of the usual XL smok cartos I usually get; including shipping it was a bit under $10, so that didn't hurt the card any. Payday is a week from tomorrow and it should be a much better check than the last one, so I'll order some more then, so I don't run out this way again. Hopefully either Ikenvape or IBtanked will get the 3-ohm XL single-coils back in stock by then; hopefully Ikenvape, because I really want to try those; the IBTs are just Smoks I think.

Are you using rayon, Andria?

If you are, you need vape at least one or two ml before giving it a true judgement. Rayon seems to need some bedding in. During my first ml or so, I can taste the fresh coil and the rayon tastes a little harsh. After one or two ml I can clearly taste my juice.

Yep, rayon. But so far, when I'm using my regular Virginia, I haven't noticed anything like that -- it tastes fine right from the get-go. I ended up just using that kayfun for another juice which benefits from a slight addition of the blueberry flavor, and it wasn't too bad. I think it's just that particular flavor, the blueberry muffin, that doesn't respond well to a kayfun -- it lets you taste the blueberry flavor very clearly, but really hides the "muffin" flavor for some reason, or else the blueberry flavor just comes thru so strongly, it cloaks the more subtle flavor.

But the cartos I ordered yesterday have been shipped, so I'll get them in a few days. :thumb:

Well, I guess it can't be good for every flavor out there :)

Did you manage to fix that crumpy kfl that had no draw?

I'm starting to think obsessively about the Orchid... I really don't need another atty now but I so want one... :(

This addiction has no cure besides bankruptcy :(

:D Well, I guess you could stop vaping. But if you're anything like me, that just means you'd go back to smoking, and if I'm going to spend money on something, I'd rather it be on something I'll have and enjoy for awhile, instead of just turning money into ashes and more risk of cancer.

Haven't worked on that weird kayfun; just haven't been that ambitious. :D Actually I'm working a lot lately on my own website, Vape Fight. So far it's not really much, but it's starting to take shape.

And I think I've figured out why I've been sleeping so deeply, and sleeping so late nowadays -- I don't get woken up by my asthma! :shock: And hot damn, I just saw on the tracking page that my cartos are in Atlanta, got into the sort center just after 7pm, so they should be here tomorrow. :banana:

Good for you :)
Any health improvements are always welcome.

Speaking of which... It's so relieving not coughing for over two months and be able to breath deeply without feeling the lungs collapsing :)

Got my car back today. US$998...

Going to delete my favorite vendors bookmark folder... I won't be using it for a longgg time :(

Hi guys. I need help...

I'm sitting here with my credit card in my left hand and my phone in my right hand and I'm at the checkout stage to buy an erlkoenigin nano atty.

Stop me please.

Regards
Tony

Put the card and phone down.....step away from the desk top.
Go outside and have a nice vape.....Think about the vape and how good it is right at this moment.

Good luck ;)

Anybody alive around here?

Just to let you know that I failed miserably... Again.

Didn't buy the erlkoenigin nano but did buy the erlprinz + nano kit so in the end I saved like $40 bucks but I still couldn't resist and made the purchase...

Anyway, how are you all doing? Still shopping like crazy or better than myself? :)

Hi

As the title says... enough is enough... I dropped my tobacco addiction and replaced it with vaping... Nahh. Not vaping... shopping! Thats right! I'm a damm shoppaholic now. I just can't stop buying stuff. I have enough material and liquid to get through 2014 without needing any more material so please, if you see another order of mine please ignore it, I have a disease :unsure:

Am I the only one around? Jeez... this is killing my wallet!

Sorry to let off a little steam :)

Regards
Tony

PS: Can't write more, I have to complete an order I'm making for some extra dual coil atomizers. Be right back :facepalm:

Oh, how I feel your pain. The local vape shop dude gets a big smile and shakes my hand when I walk in the door. :facepalm:
