I enjoy melon's and berry's, coffee's and caramels, mild menthol and mint flavors mostly. Have to say, I haven't tried a tobacco flavor. I don't know if I ever will. I didn't like the taste of the real thing (thats why I smoked menthol) so don't really think I'd like it. Shrug, then again, maybe i would like it since so many claim it's enough like the real thing yet not like the real thing. IDK. lol

Zombie tongue....first time I heard/read that term. lol. Good description.

Yeah dripping doesn't seem practical and a pain. SOME say it's not the best way to test DIY flavoring because it will taste different in a carto; muted. But I'd hate to waste a carto. I do still have my Ego-c cone and a couple of heads for it. Makes since to simple get a few more heads for tasting. I'm sure my zomie tongue (grin) won't tell the difference.

Seems we got way off topic. Oops

Soooo, big truck, box truck, pick up truck? The ride differs greatly!!
Hey Grace ...

4x4 half-ton about town baby-sitting numerous jobsites ... but on the road mostly through city traffic.

Always 3 different flavored vapes on the go. End of the day I have my hands full getting my vaping toys ready for the next day with yet another 3. Keeps things interesting. Once a week I DIY it all up for the coming week, got my system down real nice. Here and then I experiment with yet another flavor, and if it turns out good, I add it to the weekly list.

All I ever do throughout the working day is change batteries ... no refilling, no coiling atties and what not ... :)

I have nothing 'diy' for menthol flavors. Other than a Chocolate mint, and an Ande's mint. Both recipies are in the e-juice calculator program. Not a real menthol person.

And as for off topic??? Ha...

Topic said truck(ers). So we're good there!
We're talking favorite mods. Mods need delivery methods. Delivery methods need juice. Juice needs to be made.

We're on topic just fine. :vapor:

No offence when I say this. I have a couple 4x4's; CJ7 Jeep that I'm rebuilding myself, and a dodge ram sport, they ride like a caddy compaired to an 18wheeler that I truck in. And the roads I have to go over sometimes, like a wash board. I really don't think a Genny style coil would survive 11 hours a day, day after day in an 18 wheeler. if someone says otherwise, I'll believe them, but until them I doubt it.
But sounds like a sweet setuo you got going there! Props.

OMG watermelon with a touch of menthol....for me, heaven. It doesn't have to be all menthol like cigs. I honestly can not wait to play with the possibilities. I have got some single flavor mint flavors and ended up adding them to fruit flavors. Not all of the fruit flavor though. Like 50/50 in another bottle. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. lol. So I have non-menthol whenever I just want the fruity sweetness. (see how i've been sticking my toes in DIY) I know I'm not the first to play with my flavors. It's just to much fun!

Whats your fav flavor? Or "all day vape"

Hey fellow drivers. I started out with an ego like battery and cartos from smokeless image. Tried the T3's. Too much of a pain. I am going to get some more ego pass through batteries with some 1.7XL cartos. The tanks are pain when they start leaking while you're driving. I got a zmax and pro tank in the mail for at the end of the day. But I think a large carto that I dont have to worry about leaking all over me is the best set up. Glad to see some drivers on here.

I have had pretty good luck with most of the tanks I have had. Vivi's and smok Dct's. I have had a couple that did leak, but you could 'tell' right away, and just replaced the o'rings and they worked fine.

Only real annoying issue I have found, is if I go out west (which is rare) and do a lot of mountain driving. Pressure changes seemed to make the dual carto's flood.

Carto's when driving though, overall, are failsafe for vapeing.

I drive my pickup to work, does that count? I work industrial maintenance so my mods lead a rough life in my shirt pocket. I've used a Provari mini for last year and a half with various rebuildable dripping attys. Very durable, it's taken some 10'+ falls and survived the concrete. Lately I've been using the Reo mini, just as durable with a BF rebuildable on it. It's really nice to be able to squonk instead of dripping. I no longer hope to get stopped at a light on the way to work so I can drip. If I were over the road I'd for sure have a Reo Grand in the truck with me. It has a 6ml bottle and 18650 battery. I'd also have a REOmizer2 atty on it. They vape great and are very easy to build and maintain. They are also great for sampling juices, you can usually just dry burn to get rid of old flavor. If that doesn't work a new coil is just a minute away.

My hubby is a trucker and even though he quit smoking eons ago, the hand to mouth habit never left. He became a food popper. Always popping grapes, cheerios, gummy bears, fruit loops, into his mouth. After gaining 20 or so unwanted pounds (he's an athlete when not driving), we rigged him up with a Zero nicotine fruit eliquid inside a tiny bottom feeder called the Old Goat, with a Cisco 306 at 1.5 on it. Within a month he regained his weight control, and his food popping habit subsided back down to manageable. He hasn't had to use it in over a year, but it's here at the ready when he needs it. He wore it on a lanyard (those drops from the truck ruin many an item, especially thermos's!), plus tucked it inside his shirt pocket. He carried extra batteries and an extra atty in his briefcase, never had a problem.

On the road
Specialized hauling, RGN and step-deck. Western Star. OTR.

I am currently using a Vama and an MVP. Love the fact I can recharge the MVP via micro usb just like my phone, but I think the Vama just works better. I can easily recharge the 18650 batteries for the Vamo when my APU is running but is good to know I have the MVP as a back up when the APU quits working. I am currently in a motel while the APU engine is being replaced as it self-destructed last week in Texas.
