Had to do a 200 mile road trip for a wake last night so I blew the dust off my Theorum and put it on the Istick 200. Finally got it all set up and happy, new mod so I had to refer to the book a lot more than I cared for! Anyway, learned the Theorum does not travel well! Knocked it out of my lap and dumped the entire tank on the floor! The top cap kept popping off and when I left it in the car to go inside I come back to the top cap off and juice running down the dashboard. My wife wasn't pleased! It will not be going on vacation!

I just got my K5 Tobecco clone loaded & am vaping it. On the tightest air setting it's not as tight as a L+v2, I assume the 3.1 is same air as the +v2. I don't think they changed af between those. Never tried a v4 so no basis for comparison there. It's a slightly looser mtl than that. Setting 2 is a very loose mtl. Setting 3 is somewhere between very loose mtl & pretty restricted dl. Setting 4 is dl, but not like a wide open cloud chucker. Slightly less than that. The drip tip has a ...... bore, which effects all of that. You could use setting 1 & a dt with smaller bore & tootle away. I'm using setting 3. Great flavor, juice flow is great, no leaking, easy top fill without having to flip it over, just close the juice flow, fill, & put the top back on. I know the authentic is offering air restrictor kits, & they would probably fit this. Me likey!
Nice Review! :)

Someone recently posted a Video on here of a side by side comparison by a Reviewer of the Authentic KF5 and the SXK KF5 Clone.
Pretty much everything was the same but the SXK had a smaller Airflow Bore, but not by much at all. Said this caused the SXK's airflow a bit tighter enough to make it little better for MTL, with no difference in flavor.

Id like to get both Tobeco and SXK KF5s when I get a chance. :thumb:

I was just looking for one in the US but cannot seem to find one. Looks like its China or a authentic.
I got mine at Ecigity. They were sold out of stainless but I grabbed a black one. I'm sure they'll restock.

For months I've been missing my guava juice; just continuously forgot to pick up some. Checked out a new B&M in the hood and holyyyyy cowww they carry a TON of different juices...stuff I've read about in the threads.

They carry a guava which smelled heavenly so I bought a 30 ml bottle. Filled up a tank, got meself a cold drink and positioned myself on the patio for a nice, refreshing guava vape.

*COUGH* *SPUTTER* *COUGH* What the? For some reason the juice catches me in the back of the throat. Yikes, I can't stop coughing. I tried lowering the wattage...lower...lower...nope. Dang.

So disappointed. Oh well, at least I've discovered 2 things:
1. If I add half blue haze to it, it's fine...takes the edge off.
2. Never buy a 30 ml bottle of juice I've never tried before.

Lesson learned.

Have a good weekend all!

Sometimes if you let it sit with the lid off for a few days that throat hit will settle down some. I think that some flavorings that use alcohol for a carrier can behave that way. Sitting with the cap off will allow it to dissipate and smooth the vape out.

blend ratio ? ( do you pay attention to that ?? )

sounds like my story when I started vapin'...
couldn't figure WHY some juices were smooth and I loved them, others destroyed my throat ? o_O

THEN , I learn about PG and VG, come to find out PG really irritates my throat :shock:

The End :D

Oh! - thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll give it a whirl.

Yup I do, puf. I'm used to 70 - 80% VG and my first thought was to check the ratio. It's 70 VG 30 PG. Odd.

I too steer away from high PG...irritates my throat.

Thanks for your response!

So, still loving to Siglei/Fuchai 200w temp control mod. I swapped out the standard 0.5 ohm coil I was using with my Avail Black&Gold (whiskey tobacco flavor) @ 15.5 - 16.5 watts, for one of the Ti temp control coils I picked up and started vaping some of my wife's Saffire Vapor Black & Blueberry @ 350°F and the flavor is awesome.

Although, the local B&M stores just started carrying the Nautilus X tanks, and I'm debating on grabbing one of those. Opinions please.

I did the same dang thing with an Irish Coffee flavor at one point, I ended up giving it to a neighbor along with a 15ml dragonfruit that tasted good at the store but not so much in my old setup. Live and learn right?

I do not have it, and everything I know is from this forum and reviews. Mixed opinions on it, with not as much flavor as other Nauti coils. Coils are for Nauti X only, no interchange with other Aspire products. Heard an unsubstantiated rumor they're looking to release a Clapton version of the coil, maybe to improve performance. There is, however, an extension set to take it from 2 ml to 4 ml, which is a positive if you prefer a larger tank.

I may have mentioned it on this forum, but Kidney Puncher has the EHPro Squape (R)eloaded on clearance for $2 each (Yes, that's two bucks). I put two in my cart while I was picking up some other small stuff and they are on the way.

They supposedly have no logo on them, but the reviewers below the item love it. For that price I had to jump. Who cares if it's a good clone with a plain exterior? So are my Kayfuns. I've picked up a double handful of sales on older RBA's lately for my FDA insurance stash.

Here's the KP site picture.
