Well it arrived yesterday afternoon and by the time I charged the batteries and let them sit for an hour it was around 8:30PM. I don't notice a whole lot of difference between the Vamo and the KGO Rivas (1100 Mah) - but I am quite happy with it. I got the stainless Vamo.
I carry the KGO in a lanyard when I am out and about, and the Vamo does not fit - So I went online and purchased a new lanyard for it late last night - and also some new juice from the same company.
I have tried several different companies for juice and have not liked any of them except for the juice that comes from Northwest Vapors. When I ordered the Vamo, I also ordered a small bottle of their "wildberry" juice - and although it is 'vapeable'....I am really not thrilled with it.
I have since made juice orders from Mt. Baker Vapor as well as VapeDudes (Where I ordered the lanyard from last night) None of the 'new' juice has arrived yet, so I have no comment on any of them.
I am always very careful when ordering juice - I read the descriptions as well as the reviews. Despite being cautious, I find myself regretting going elsewhere. Even places that get rave reviews here at ECF.......I just find that I really don't care for them.......Some of them have even gone in the trash after a month (sometimes 2 months) of steeping. Some of these got rave reviews and what not - and I absolutely hated them. So much so that I would never even mix a few drops with something else to just use it up.
I am trying to find my perfect juice/juices. I THOUGHT I had that with Northwest vapors raspberry, pina colada and Strawberry OD. I LOVE those juices, but at 50/50 mix, they are just too thick and clog things up. Also.....having vaped those flavors solely, I have found that they have become 'boring' to my taste buds.
All of the new juices I ordered (the ones I have not received yet) are 70/30......Hopefully, that will make a good enough difference for me. If not, I may have to pick up some PG to thin them out further. I am not particularly worried about adding PG and decreasing the nicotine content as I typically order 12mg.....but have vaped 6MG as well as 0MG.
It will be nice when I find my perfect combo!!!!!! I have also tried a few DIY juices and was fairly happy with the outcome. (Meaning that I have not yet had to actually throw one of them out) I will eventually go that route solely in the future. But for now.......The hunt is still on!!!!!
Thank you all very much for your help, opinions and suggestions. I would have been lost without a good "starting point". I would have spent endless hours watching youtube videos and trying to decipher things on my own as a result.
So far.....My favorite setting is 9.0 on the Vamo. The flavor is definitely better with the Vamo than it was with the Riva.....but THAT could be a 'bad' thing if I get more juice that I really am not fond of!!!!!!!!
I should have the shipment from Mt. Baker Vapor by Monday.....I ordered 4 (I think) flavors.....hopefully at least one will be a 'hit'. I ordered 2 from VapeDudes - one of them I ordered 100% PG and higher nicotine content (16%) - I intend to use that juice (30 ml of coconut cream) to add to the 50/50 PG/VG mix of 12MG Pina Colada..............I am hoping to thin out the Pina Colada a bit and figued if I was going to mix it, I would need to have a higher nicotine content.......but now I am questioning that thinking.
If I add 16% (100% PG) to my existing 12MG 50/50 PG/VG.......will it be too much nicotine, or will it balance out???? Obviously, it will matter how much I add and what amount of Pina Colada I start with.
So say I start with 10 ML of 50/50 PG/VG at 12% nicotine.........and I add the 16MG 100%PG coconut cream with the intent to thin the Pina Colada out.........how much of the coconut cream should/can I add to it? Adding 16MG of nicotine to a mix that already has 12% will do what???? Increase OR decrease the nicotine content??????
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!!!!!
