One of these days I'm going to send you a drip shield Luv, and walk you through dripping - you'll love it once you get the hang of it & it stops being such an icky mess!

Let the honeydew steep for a while - a friend sent it to me & she'd had it sitting around for a while. I'll see if I can find out exactly how long she had it!

I can't wait to get both of your takes on the Vivi tanks - I'm keeping my eye on the CleanTanks & may go for one of those if they're competitively priced (If not, I may just wait until vapestock & hope I can grab a lavatank!)

And yes - I have noticed the muzzy teeth! What is that?!

CleanTanks? Okay, I haven't heard of these yet, but I'm intrigued. Please do tell!

I've noticed the desire to brush my teeth or rinse with mouthwash increasing to 5 or 6 times a day. I believe it's because vaping is so dehydrating that you feel the need to get that fresh feeling in your mouth again from brushing.

CleanTanks are new, scheduled to drop May 8th & will be available exclusively through AvidVaper.
Clean Tanks - Avid Vaper
They look pretty sweet, but they haven't announced the pricing yet, so I'm not sure if I'll want to buy one or not - if they're priced on the higher end, I'll probably get a sandblasted phiniac instead or hope to pick up a lavatank at VapeStock in June!

Nice! I checked out the videos on the page and the 2 piece looks like it could make filling the tank easier than traditional tanks. Now we just need to wait a week to see what the price will be.

Yes - they seem pretty similar to lavatubes in their simplicity of filling - I can't wait to see the price tag!

I've had some time to play, so here's my brief report on the XL3 Wood mod.

First of all, the pictures really don't do it justice at all. In person, this thing is absolutely beautiful in form and finish. It's just under 4 inches tall and about 1.5 pounds (guessing since I don't have a scale handy), and the shape is just perfect for the average sized hand. The green and black stain reveals some very interesting interesting patterns in the box-elder wood grain which are topped off by a very nice semi-gloss finish.

The connection for the carto/atty/clearo is an eGo type, but a bit larger at the base like the KGO (from what I've read). My Vision Stardust clearos fit very snug, and because of the extra diameter of the base, have a hard draw. This was alleviated a bit by loosening the connection by about a quarter turn so that the draw is a bit looser, and now it's usable. When connecting the CE4+ by MiT (the other clearos I have), the fitting is more suited and the draw if quite loose, but even with the higher voltage settings these 2.4-2.8 ohm clearos just don't perform as well as their 2.1-2.4 ohm Vision cousins. I also connected my eGo-C cone with an SR atty and vaped that at 3.7v and 4v for a little while with decent results.

First impression is very favorable and I can't wait to try the new cartos, atty, and Vivi Nova on this thing.

Absolutely, because the alternative sucks!

I told my brother it was coming today and I got a call from him a few minutes ago saying "Hey dude. Did you get your woody?".

Sounds awesome Glen!!!! Ummmm maybe a new mod is on the table....

Vapemail report!!!! I expected tomorrow but low and behold when I got home first thing the kids said...Mom you got some packages!!! My what a sweet sound!!! My orders from KBV and AVE both arrived today and, of course, had to try 'em outta the box...so far I'm very impressed by both!

From KBV Rice Krispy, Crisp Cola, Smores and Gooey Better Cake so y'all know me by now for me its all about the flavor (not so much vapor or TH) so there is my concentration....
Wow oh Wow...The Crisp Cola was the biggest surprise now I completely understand what Cheeky meant when she said that you can actually feel the bubbley on your tounge...it was like drinking a real Coke (West Coast all about the Coke, Pepsi yuk!!!) Rice Krispy, Smores and Gooey Better Cake (which is exactly what it tastes like) all live up to all the hype around here...Can't wait to see what they are like with a little steeping!!

OK for AVE only 3 here Mountian Berry (which is a blackberry), English Toffee, and Maple Medly...The mountian berry tastes like I just took a bite of a big juicy blackberry YUM! English Toffee...If you like toffee, you will LOVE this!! Not quite sure about the maple yet, I expected syurpy maple but it was a lighter maple flavor but both of the latter are VERY dark liquids so I'm sure the flavors will get quite a bit richer after steeping...

All of this and still looking forward to TVR and Trippy's tomorrow!!! I'm one lucky girl!! Hugs all around you guys make my night!!

Nice! New juice vape-mail is probably my most favorite vape-mail of all. I think we need a dictionary of abbreviations for vendors though because I have no idea who AVE, KBV, and TVR are supposed to be.

Glen, your XL3 sounds fantastic! I would love to see pictures, or better yet, the mod in person at the next Vape Meet (May 19th - AJs in Largo ). Hope you're still having fun playing with your wood (and once again, vape talk sounds naughty )

I understand your issues with the stardust - the draw can be an issue, but one of the guys at the March VapeMeet told me that he took a dremel to the bottom skirt of his stardusts to create a few slits, resulting in a better draw - your results may vary, but I think it might help (use the little notches as your starting point, and check your draw after each slit).

Mythus - Hurray for surprise vapemail!!! I have some very well steeped KBVs on hand - they were supposed to go out in a trade, but I haven't gotten confirmation from the intended recipient - I'll try contacting her again tomorrow, and if I don't get a response by the time I'm sending samples to you, I'll send them to you Isn't that bubbly sensation neat & awesome & surprising?? I've been vaping DeejStuff Champagnes for a month, and the first puff still surprises me every time lol Such an unexpected sensation in vaping, and I love it!

I hope you'll post pictures of your new trippies when they arrive! What are you expecting from TVR? (I can't keep up lol)

I think I'm going through a new phase with my taste buds - I still like some of the bakery & sweet juices, but I really am craving the lighter, more natural fruit flavors, mints (just broke out the DeejStuff peppermint taffy that's been steeping for a month - it's wonderful & refreshing!), and oddly enough some of the tobaccos! I do still like some of the sweets like fruit danishes (with more fruit than anything else), but the sweeter, heavier bakery flavors like Gooey Better Cake aren't sitting well with me. My guess is that it's due at least in part to the weather getting hotter and more humid, though I spend the majority of my time in the AC, so who knows! Hoping to find some new favorites in the custom creations I came up with in my ECB order, and if any of them are good enough, I'll submit them to be added to the Customer tab (and send all of you samples )

And... I have to agree with Mythus - you guys make my night every night! I all of you, and haunt my Whats New - My Posts page all day in hopes of new vapaholic chat

I love Tapatalk for the ability to easily keep up when I don't want to pull my laptop out - I don't know if you've ever tried to access ECF on your phone, but when I do, it's a miserable experience trying to post or PM anything because of incompatible settings between my Thunderdolt (yes dolt!), and the forum design.

Tapatalk makes things much easier (it's even easier to attach photos to posts!!!), but it does have it's weird issues/bugs - it has a habit of force closing in the classies (probably a sign that I shouldn't be browsing and salivating over whatever great, exciting deal of the day I find lol), but in general, it was worth paying the onetime fee of $2.99 for the app

LOL you are so right - a dictionary of vaping and vendor abbreviations would be useful!

AVE is Alien Visions E-juice Alien Visions E-Juice
KBV is Kick Bass Vapor KickBassVapor E-Liquid
TVR is The Vapor Room (I think) The Vapor Room.net | Vaporize Nicotine | E Cig Atomizers
ECB is my new abbreviation for ECBlend ECBlend E-Liquids - Something Better

That's a good idea, although if the Vivi works out it's probably a non-issue. I'll just need to find a good eGo/510 cone (flange) so that the 510 tank looks more "at home" on the eGo connection. I did a quick search earlier and found a couple of potential places to get one.

Here's a quick picture of Woody and Stanley:

I already knew about ECB (of course!), and now the others make perfect sense too.

Yippie!!!!
I think the heavier stuff is going to be for cooler days and mornings only. I've already found that during warmer days I'm much more apt to reach for the lighter or minty juice...very refreshing. For example I was vaping Summer Rain, Happy Farmer from MOV (Mountian Oak Vapors) or Lemonaide or Lime from VV (Virgin Vapors) like crazy when temps were in the 80s but now that we haven't been out of the 60s its maple, toffee, hot chocolate etc.

 

[CheekyMonkey]

Grrr - I don't seem to be able to view the photo you posted of Woody & Stanley - I hope I can view it later!
Let me know if you need help finding a mini cone for the tank!

Lol I'm starting to think we pick our juices the way we pick our food - heavier, warmer & richer on cooler days, and lighter, cooler & more refreshing on warmer days!

I don't think my hubby would let me on this site anymore if he know you were posting pics of your wood....

It seems all my attachments are having issues for some reason, even in the older posts. Not sure what's going on there, but let me try again:

Nope, that didn't work. Oh well, maybe it's just a forum glitch that will work itself out.

uummmm....let me try...
