Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

[Robert Cromwell]

I'm not a huge fan of Zappa (to my husband's enduring chagrin!), but that one, I LOVE!

Andria

Zappa DA MAN!

So much wisdom...

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Got my under $1 Efest 18500 batteries yesterday. Like em in my Zmax. Good for over 2 T3 tanks of juice per battery. Just ordered 4 more.

HA! I finally caught up with the last post!!!! This thread requires a commitment! Lol! Took the weekend off and it's taken me three days to get caught back up. There were so many posts I wanted to reply to, but I forgot what they were when I saw the next one, then the next one, then... Happy hump day y'all.

 

[chopdoc]

Yep also this one.

Always loved listening to Zappa!

Dave
Actually there are quite a few IT types bouncing around in here.

I know that. But I still wouldn't trust any of them with anything too real life.

 

[Electrodave]

Is it just me or has stupidity become more of the socially accepted norm in recent years?

It's not just you. But it is because you're old.

You should definitely go into the juice business.

I may sell just enough to a few to pay for my vape addiction?
Will have to get some child proof bottles though.

I have found that with my bitter gene and my somewhat super taster buds that If I like something almost everyone else likes it.
My family and friends learned that if Robert likes it virtually everyone will.
Of course many of them also like stuff that I cannot handle

Henley really nailed that one.

So no carrot ejuice, then?
Childproof bottles are cheap and easy to get. EBay will give you 2000 free listings. I will buy something from your first batch!
There. No more excuses.

I don't know if the owner of that nearest shop realizes it or not, but one of his employees pretty much nailed the coffin shut for me going in there again; when I said I had to have 85% PG, he nearly has a spaz, he's "never HEARD of anyone using THAT MUCH PG!" Which tells me he's a total idiot, since that's the default for the "PG blend" at MyFreedomSmokes, where I started my vape journey with their Virginia.

One reason I'm an almost-total hermit is because I don't deal with stupidity well at all, and there's just so much of it out there these days; I certainly won't patronize a store who employs people THAT stupid who are also pretty rude about a customer's preference/needs.

They don't even have much of a driptip selection, so in future when I need a driptip ASAP, I'll be driving up the road to MadVapes.

Andria

You live up the road from Madvapes? Cool! I'm getting vapemail from them today!

Never been much for listening to Zappa noise either.

Much rather listen to music.

A question for the DIY tootlers... Has anyone ever used Hangsen Caramel? I grabbed some and mixed it up at 5% 70% VG. It's been steeping 2 1/2 weeks and I get ZERO flavor from it when I vape it. It smells good, a drop on the tongue is awesome, but no flavor at all when I vape it.

 

[Katdarling]

@Katdarling i found the best site for matching coils was discount vapers. They have show great information and a couple of charts. I was impressed

http://www.discountvapers.com/coil-heads/

One of our all-time favorite places, XX. And owned by a person whom I've often credited with my ultimate success in vaping. Honest truth is that I'm not 100% certain I'd have made it without the never-ending assistance he offered, back when I needed him/help the most (Dec 2011 through...).

I'll always be a fan, and my entire family still shops there, as often as possible. So yeah, two BIG THUMBS UP for DV (and family)!

HUGE agreement here! DV have always proved themselves to be exceptional, all across the board. They are fab about getting in a wide selection of products, but what I love most about them is the INFORMATION. They seem to test and remark on everything they sell, and give honest evaluations.

Major pluses for DV!

Thank you, XX. Good stuff there on the coil matings.

When I was still on the replacement-coil-merry-go-round, I always bought mine from them -- outstanding prices!

Speaking of coils........ I guess I fall into a small group of VERY lucky peeps. I can count the bad coils I've received on half a hand. I abstolutely LOVE the convenience of them, and the performance has been beyond adequate for me. I truly would not have ever guessed that I would relinquish my Karto Kween title, and tho I did so kicking and screaming, I'm sure happy I did!

So I suppose I'm just lucky.

And a no rain kind of Wednesday here

You never fail to bring a smile to me face, Mr. Cromwell!

not sit there like a bump on a pickle and expect someone to hand it to you.

dead fish and pickle bumps. My day is now complete!

I can go off on an entire rant on this and probably upset a ton of people with my anti liberal attitude so I will just say yep and leave it at that......

I heard that the OP thinks it's fine for you to rant........ anytime!

 

[Muru]

Hangsen's ready made juices are always high pg. So maybe up the flavour%? However, I have never mixed my own juice, so you might wanna wait for somebody else's answer

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Many Caramel flavors are more for add in flavors and not stand alone. The Flavor West Caramel candy stands on it's own pretty well though.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

I didn't care much for TFA or FW caramels. Too dry and not sweet enough. I mixed up this small batch just to see what it was like by itself. It's almost exactly what I've been looking for when I taste a drop, but If I have to add like 10% of it to a batch that is only 5% total of other flavor it's gonna be a no for me.

Truthfully? When I first got a Kayfun, I sooooo wished there were replacement coils for it; I was used to that, and it certainly was more convenient. The main thing I disliked about replacement coils was a) the cost -- I always seek to economize on consumables; and b) waiting on that mailman to bring them. I like being self-sufficient, so I very soon got over that small discontent I felt at first, about building my own coils. I don't try any of the new tanks that use replacement coils, because I'm afraid a) they'd be too airy, since I like a very tight draw, or b) I'd like them too much, and have to go back to buying replacement coils -- which I could afford, now, but it would offend my extreme-tightwad sensibility -- and having to wait on that mailman would irk me as much as ever.

Now that I'm a year and a half into coil building, I really can't even find convenience as any excuse to go back to that sort of atty; on the rare occasions when I need to replace a coil, it takes about 3-4 minutes to twist the coil, and maybe another 3-5 to get it mounted -- maybe double or triple what it would take to screw in a new coil, but truly, not that big an investment of time. And I rarely ever need to replace coils; usually it's 5 minutes to rinse, dry-burn, and re-wick, and I'm back in business. It was a little more tedious when I used Kayfuns exclusively, having to drain them before I could get to the coil, but now with the Achilles... piece of cake.

Yes, I'm in Lawrenceville, and they have a store in Buford -- 'bout 10 miles north of here, and really only that far because I live on the south side of L'ville -- where we used to live in N L'ville, it would only be about 3-4 miles. Really the only things I ever buy in B&Ms are driptips, but their prices on those in-store are either the same as online, or just a tiny bit higher -- definitely worth a 10-mile drive!

Mostly, I'd like Zappa better if he'd "shut up and play his guitar." His drivel is completely inane and self-consciously self-amused, which really irritates me.
