One flavor that I haven't seen talked about much in this thread is Strawberry Cheesecake, which I just sampled 15 minutes ago. It's been breathed, steeped in the dungeon for 18 days, and shaken every one to two days.

Now I like strawberry, but I find that most eliquids use too much of it. I hated Unicorn Milk for example, and its one of the best selling eliquids around. Way too sett and too heavy on the strawberry for me. This VW StrawCheesecake isn't one of those; its great and a perfect blend! Since I am such a fan of SmurfCake, I had to try this and I'm liking it a lot. So far every cheesecake and custard VW flav I've tried is better than most "gourmet" flavs I have tried or purchased. Just like Smurf this is rich, smooth, and very creamy; with just the right touch of strawberry. I'll be ordering a larger bottle once I get through more of my samples!

I'm kinda picky with e-juice but I think I'm addicted to Vape Wild. I sampled 20+ flavors in a shop last week and wasn't crazy about any of them. I received my first order from VW on Monday. 3 of the 10 are already in regular rotation. On Cloud Custard is easily an ADV for me. Smurf Cake is awesome. Vanilla Clouds is on point too. I really want to like Strawberries & Cream but it seems to need to steep longer. Its decent when dripped but chemical tasting in the Subtank Nano. I think it may have ruined the brand new coil I had in there. Can you salvage one of these coils from a chemical/plastic taste? I briefly sampled some other flavors and I'm letting them steep as suggested by VW. Cinammon Roll was way too strong for me. Circus Bear was decent but too much banana. Tigers Blood was just gross and its the only one that I have no desire to ever taste again. Grape Gatsby, So Berry Good, and Fruit Hoops all have yet to be sampled but they smell sickly sweet. All are 50/50 and 3mg of nicotine. I'm going to try a higher VG next time and I think I'm going to be using the RDA more than the Subtank because everything just tastes so much better!

I've had pretty good success soaking the coils in near boiling H2O and refilling the HOT water several times over the course of 4-6 hours. Then dry completely. Also the ST coils can be easily rewicked. I prefer koh gen do (AKA: Japanese cotton). I use a toothpick to poke the existing wick out... gently. Then if the coil is really gunked up you can pulse it to heat it up and stick it upside down into h2o while still hot. Re-wick and go at it again.

BTW - since you like many of the VW flavs I do, give the strawberry cheesecake a whirl! Tis yummy!

Most reviewers, and ECF member for that matter, prefer the mini over the larger ST, for both better flavor and no need to have a screwdriver to add juice as it is with the full size ST.

Point of interest, maybe: You don't need a screwdriver to add juice to the full-sized Subtank. Just unscrew the bottom like the Mini and Nano. The screwdriver is only needed to replace the top cap when you change from OCC coils to the RBA. I suppose if you switched back and forth often it would get old fast. I just use mine with the OCC coils.

I have both and use both and prefer the Mini for it's more standard 22mm diameter. Other than that the vape is very similar - IMO.

Somebody just VIF'd a bottle of Fruit Hoops to me. It's a nice orange and lemon flavor with a slight cream taste. A pleasant vape with a good cloud at 50/50. I think I'm gonna go back to 50/50 for the flavor. I thought more cloud would be more satisfying but not for me. Flavor is where it's at. Clouds don't do a thing (my dollar and 2 cents worth) :D

Fruit Hoops is one of my faves :) I like 60/40 or in VW usage 35/65. Still get decent clouds and good flavor.

I am in the same boat.The last kanger product i used was a protank 2 that i added the aerotank base to,and it was nice,but once i got into rba's,it just didn't cut it for me anymore,so i quit looking at any of the kanger stuff.When the subtank first came out,i had no interest in it at all,but as i started reading about it,then watching a few reviews on youtube,i have decided i want one.I'm putting in an order monday for a sigelei mini,and i'm going to add the subtank on that order,now comes the hard choice though,not sure if i want the full size one or the mini haha.

I've got the full size. Haven't tried the mini. The only thing I don't like about it is the cost of the replacement coils. Although they are easy enough to rewick. I find the airflow of the RBA base to be really restricted. It's not bad, I just like an airy draw. My favorite tank that I have so far is the billow. Costs a little bit less than the subtank, easy to build and has loads of flavor. I can also run it with more wattage than the subtank if I choose, although I prefer to stay in the 15-20 range. Only thing my subtank has over it, is capacity and plug and play use :)

Good to know,as that is the one i keep leaning toward more anyway.I originally planned on the mini since it is 22mm,that way it would fit flush if i want to use it on a mech,but the bigger capacity of the full size was tempting me,plus i usually use a box mod,so the larger size wouldn't look out of place,but pretty sure i'm going with the mini especially knowing this now haha.

The mini basically is 22mm, in response to complaints about the originals larger size. And it has improved airflow. The RBA section is also designed differently and you don't have to switch tops to switch out between RBA and prebuilt coils. Oh, and they changed the insulator on the RBA section to a different material because some people found that it deteriorated in some liquids like pluid and heavy cinnamon flavors (I think)

1. While they are breathing should I pop out the needle tips to allow for better air flow?
2. For those of you who have tried these before - should the steep be two weeks from arrival or two weeks from the born-on date?

1. I don't know if this is scientifically correct, but I do.
2. I don't think this steeping stuff is that precise.

Personally, I don't steep any of my juices. I find if I like them "fresh" then I will like them after time passes. If I don't like them "fresh" then no amount of "steeping" will make me like them.

Granted, some liquids get a little better when "aged" or "steeped" , but in general, I don't find that much of a difference between fresh and steeped liquids.

Of course your mileage may vary:)

Have a question guys I just got my 120ml of sweetcomplexity and 60 caramel apple I usually do 50/50 I took a chance with 65VG. Sweet complexity is one of my all day vapes, and it was a little too sweet so I'm guessing hopefully by going up in VG it will be in my favor my first time going out of my comfort zone lol. just wondering if you guys Have tried the same flavor from them in different ratios How big of a flavor difference it really is. Crazy first company I order big bottles and know I'm going to like it no matter what. I love their Apple so I ordered a 60 of caramel apple and again it's an Adv for me. I also threw in Dutch apple pie which I wanted to order next time so can't wait to try that.vw is amazing.. and thank you guys

I have never been able to afford bigger than a 30ml from anyone especially taking a gamble with if i will like enjoy it. I now have a 120ml in front of me and it's the most beautiful thing ever lol. I have over 300ml of juice and it's because of your guys and girls recommendations, I have never been happier with a juice. And all the new vaping gear coming out made vaping so much more enjoyable. Also must give the new guys a much higher success rate to quitting and enjoying the new "hobby".
Basically saying thank you. this forum has helped me get into vaping much easier. for me to get vaping and save a lot of money and a year back. Def. Not saving money because I stopped smoking lol. I spend way more on this than smoking, but I have could have bought a lot more junk if I didn't read reviews and this forum
