What kind of lip balm do you use on your o-rings?

Purchased 4/20/11 (no, nothing to do with elevation......) :facepalm:

Nothin' better for a bit of the ol' lube than this. However, in a pinch? Coconut oil.

I hear taste is subjective. Is this true?

Yes, taste is subjective DPL, BUT, an off taste with the same juice is still an off taste, don't ya think ? One might sense a slight sweetness in a juice where another tastes a slightly burnt sensation for example. Sometimes it's a fine line we walk in describing a flavor to others, and I think it depends on what (if any) thing we have just eaten that influences our sense of taste/smell of a vape. After brushing my teeth in the morning, my first vape always taste weird for awhile. I mostly vape my Menthol/Mint all day, but when switching to my Arabic NET in the evening I get a boosted sweetness from the Arabic's natural background sweetness (if I mix it correctly and don't use too much Arabic) that I really like, and look for.

That these funny wire things and throw them in the junk box or the bin. You now have a great case to keep your silica in.



I had some that were bad. They changed the wicking or something. I have started cleaning my coils before use.

Really ?? What do you clean them with ?? I'm interested !!

I don't clean my tanks until i retire it. I take it apart and clean it when it first get it, then once again when I put it away.

That's me, exactly !! What I was wondering about is the cleaning of the coil heads of my Naut. mini proper. I didn't know anything about cleaning the coil head itself on one till someone (can't remember who) mentioned it here. I didn't even know that it could be done.

EDIT: If I used some of the gunky juices that some use, I might re-think what I do, but, I don't.

Im constantly cleaning all my tanks.. I don't have a sonic cleaner so constantly cleaning them never lets for any long term build up... I read that people have oring problems but I think routine cleaning helps make them last longer... also using lip balm on the orings is better than using ejuice to lube them.. that tip I've got to give credit to Q from one of his videos.

Lip Balm, Interesting thought. I'll ponder it more when fully awake.

Just you basic kind plain unflavored.. the easiest one to apply is the Vaseline brand.. its like a small tube not a stick.. sure a stick will work as well..
it's works great for tanks that have juiceflow control which require constant turning.
I also picked up the lip balm trick from a Q video. I use plain original Vaseline lip balm, it comes in a little tub that looks like a jar of Vaseline. I haven't noticed any off taste but I use it sparingly on my orings and some threads. And I use it to shine up my drip tips.

I do believe, good sir, that you confirmed my point (albeit in a more verbose and eloquent manner). [emoji6] [emoji4]

Another one for the clr list - the dvarw e tank. 5 or 2ml and stainless steel tank available too (if comes back in stock).
View attachment 661655
Not cheapest, but 8 air holes so versatile and so far is working very well (only 1 tank through so far).
Very nice!

I'll probably opt for the 5 Eggies though. There is strength in numbers.

Adding to the list though (mentally).
