Vape Wild. Yay or Nay?

[Ricky Spanish]

When I use an istick 20 its at around 6.5-7.0 watts since its set to Mean which means its actually firing higher. When I use my eVic I have it set to 8.0 - 8.8 watts depending on the juice.

FWIW, on my iStick 20W with the Nautilus Mini 1.8Ω coil I usually have mine at 12-13W and I get about 8 or 9 tankfuls before I start noticing the drop in flavor and the metallic taste of the coil.

My juice is 80/20 PG/VG. I just did a 6 day Tiramisu marathon on that same setup I mentioned above to see how long my coil and taste buds would put up with it and got those results above.

Have you tried the higher wattage yet?

I have. I used to vape at 9.8 - 10.5 watts and was having this problem. So I watched PBusardo's review on the istick and how its chip is programmed and thought to lower the voltage to an accurate 4.2 range to see if I have any better luck. So far no luck. The cinnamon flavors also burn other coils after 2 tanks like the protank 2 mini and the reg protank 3.

As for the flavor reduction issue on the non-cinnamon juice - I'm not getting a metalic taste. Its completely flavorless. No taste at all.
I will keep playing around with it to see if I can find a better alternative.

Rachel, Phil's video also demonstrates that the iStick's pulse-width modulation essentially disappears above 5 volts. With your 1.8 ohm coils, it should fire relatively true and steady over 13W. Have you tried shorter hits in the 13-14W range?

P.S. I realize this seems to depart a little from your flavor/coil problem...but maybe it doesn't, believe it or not. Your juice should wick and vaporize more efficiently when the power is a little higher. Worth a try, anyway.

The highest I've gone is around 10.5 which is a bit harsh for me but I will try it at a higher setting. The coils arent getting burnt out like they do with the cinnamon juices , just flavorless with only a small reduction in vapor which means that its vaporizing the liquid like its meant too. Otherwise the coils are fine...I just dont like to vape flavorless juice.

Still vaping it tonight. I think I like it best of all the other juice flavors I got in my sample pack. I still haven't tried the Sub Zero yet but I'm scared. They included an Apple of my Ice flavor as a freebie and it was one of the first I tried. I liked the apple flavor but the strong menthol was a bit much for me. Now I'm scared the Sub Zero will just be full on menthol. The juice itself smells really good, but I'm not so sure.

I also haven't tried one of the cinnamon roll flavors I ordered. I read somewhere that the cinnamon flavor can be a tank cracker? I'm currently vaping on a Fayfun Lite with a plastic tank and I have no decent backup (other than an old Protank2 with no new coils) and dont want to break it. I have a Lemo with glass tank on order from Fasttech but who knows when it'll actually get here.

Funny thing when I tried the Apple of my Ice I couldn't taste the apple and only got strong menthol after 2 weeks of steeping. About a month later, I can finally taste the apple good and the menthol calmed down. It's still good apple menthol for sure but mellowed out which made me very happy. Give it time to blend and you will probably find both won't be as strong as straight of the box.

Just pulled the trigger on an 8oz bottle of Strawberry Mojo. I got to have some more! Lots more!

Chatted with a VW employee & asked if they sold unflavored juice and she said you can order it by phone. I'll probably get a big bottle of that Friday.

Nice i was wondering if you could get unflavored juice from them. Good to know. Ill have to give them a call then.

I stopped using my mini due to clogging, gurglling, bad coils etc. It's been sitting clogged up for some time now. My lemo and magma have taken care of that problem. Looked at it today and wondered if I wanted to mess with it but I didnt

My mini went through some coils too! It never really seemed to give me the vapor production I wanted. Finally the threading gave out and I couldn't screw the tank on tight anymore.

Strawberry Mojo is one I have on my wish list!

Just opened two well steeped untapped VW flavs for the 1st time: Pina Colada & Freckled Lemonade. These were both bottled on 2/19/15, high VG, with a shot.

Pina is muted to me... very little coconut detected, and I cannot perceive any pineapple. I was really looking forward to this and not happy with this one.

Freckled isn't bad at all, a lil sweet a lil tart. I don't normally like sweet fruity flavs, but this one is good in my RDA and my Atlantis.

Also nice to know that we can get unflavored to dilute some of the stronger stuff!

I got some Tiger Blood from a local store that smells just like a Pina Colada. People at work love the smell of the vapor. Coconut inhale and strawberry / watermelon exhale. Gets old fast though. Maybe the VW would be better?

Going to get a little bottle of Lemonade and FL later this week. I was surprised how much SM appealed to me. Tried mixing some Strawberry in there with it and I believe it's better by itself. Never vaped anything like it. Glad you are going to try it.

Giant bottle of ITC RY4 should be here tomorrow or the next day.

SM is a strawberry mint flav, yes?

Not much mint to it at all. Not that I could taste with my gear anyway. Maybe it's masked a bit by the lime in it. Wish I had some right now. lol

edit

You've almost got 70 days. Congrats!

Alas, my order of new stuff comes Thursday and I have developed the dreaded Vaper's Tongue. I can't taste anything. I can smell my lovely juices but it's like breathing in air.



I'm probably stopping the vaping in a couple of weeks anyway. Keep your eyes peeled for a Vape Wild juice classified if I do it.

After only 45 days do you feel cured of the urge for analogs?

New Vape Wild Order on it's way! This time I opted for the sampler pack I got:

Flavor #1: Strawberries & Cream, Flavor #2: Circus Bear, Flavor #3: Tiramisu, Flavor #4: Sweet Complexity, Flavor #5: Jamaican Me Crazy, Flavor #6: Toffee Coffee

All at 50/50, 6 mg with a flavor boost added.

I also re-ordered Smurf Cake in 30 mL. Same specs, flavor boost as well.

I hear what others are saying about a muted taste. I found that On Cloud Custard was ok, but the others (Smurf Cake and especially Swedish Candy) were mild. I'm hoping that the flavor boost will help out with that a bit ;-)

I had Circus Bear and Sweet Complexity in Max VG with no flavor shot and found both to be pretty flavorful, especially Sweet Complexity. I'm anxious to re-order Circus Bear at 65/35 or 50/50 to find out what the difference in flavor is. I don't think I'll go with a flavor shot just yet. Let me know if the extra flavor shot helps with Smurf Cake cause I love cheesecake and want a good cheesecake flavor but thus far the VW ones don't do it for me.

Let me know how you like jamaican me crazy, I was going to order that but instead got something else. Let me know how it tastes though if you can

Just shows you we're all different with respect to taste; I thought both the Smurf and Strawberry Cheesecake, as well as VW cheesecake were great CC flavs. I am a max VG guy too, but because VG tends to mute flavs a bit and I use mostly tanks - I ordered all my VW with the max vg + shot.

I will say that I thought my first Smurf was an 8.5/10 and the 2nd order didn't taste as good at a 6.5/10. Not sure how they mix there, I'd imagine its computer controlled, but some of the batches of the same flavs tasted different to me. I hope they aren't experiencing growing pains and cutting corners!

Man I must have had a bad batch from vape wild,..sweet complexity, buttery nuts, toffee, tiramisu, peanut butter cup, nearly all the flavors I got were straight up horrendous. Apple of my ice was ok and vanilla clouds was halfway decent. ITC stole the show for me on cheap juice.

Try vaping a strong menthol flavor for a day. Seems to do the trick for most!
