I didn't get any answers but said screw it and ordered the Vivi Nova 2.5. Hoping it will properly wick the Kona Velvet... but for the cost who cares, I can always use other juices in it if it doesn't work out. It will also be an intermediate step to the world of true rebuildables that I will probably get into when possible.

I have to concur with most here...I have tried 100% VG in a tank, and it just throws my cartos out the door. I am using an expensive rebuildable atty tank with air control without problem (Kayfun III ES). That is the only way I have found to enjoy some of the richer and thicker juices like VV and AVE. Seems some of the Halo juices will also do it, but I switched those over to a spheroid which again, you can control a little.

I LOVE my phiniacs and cartos, but have given up on them with the thicker stuff.

After this first experience with this thick juice I can already tell I'm going to agree with this 100%. I love the cartos/tank setup for my regular flavors that are 80% PG because they are simple and relatively cheap, and the Phiniac's won't crack with any juice - but after this experience I know I will have to make concessions for these thick juices because it will not wick at all. Hopefully the Vivi Nova works in the meantime until I can buy something a little more permanent and rebuildable than just replacing the atomizer with another that cost a few bucks.

I had to laugh at myself on my first attempt putting this Kona Velvet in the carto. I put a good size drip on the top of the filler and it just sat there, no movement at all. It was like seeing a rain drop on the top of a freshly waxed car.

The first time I used boba's bounty, I loaded up a carto (thought it took a little while, but I was new)...DRIZZLED it into the tank...and promptly could not get a vape to save my life. Dumped it, put another hole in the carto, filled the tank...promptly could not get a vape. Spill all over my hands, rinsed and repeated 4 times. Thought I was crazy!

I'm glad that I didn't fill a tank with it, that would have ...... me off wasting that much. I only wasted like .5 ml or so at the most. I knew right after that first drip it probably wasn't going to work out, in fact I made this thread before even attempting to vape it because it just didn't look right. I was able to get some into it by basically just stabbing the filler a bunch with a paperclip, but the juice was still to thick to actually work in it. It's probably just sitting at the very bottom of the carto, who knows.

What I do know is that all I got after letting it sit like 3 hours was just burnt filler/carto with an aftertaste of what would probably be delicious. It smells beyond great which is why I went ahead and ordered that Vivi Nova... I want to try the damn stuff. :laugh:

I got the Vivi Nova in and filled it with the Kona Velvet Milkshake. The Vivi Nova seems to work pretty well with very little fuss, I'll definitely keep these in my arsenal. On to the juice... A little underwhelming. It tastes a lot like something I put together on my own with juices that were small samples I purchased from VaporGod which consisted of cappuccino, malted milk, and irish cream. It's still a nice flavor but I was hoping for more I guess.

I thought she was out? :w00t: did you try filling via the condom method? I use it in boge cartos with a tank all of the time. I tend to ask for mine thinned, but if you can use boba's in a carto, you should be able to use kcm with no problems.


edit. sniff. I thought you meant you just got the regular kona coffee milkshake :cry:

They just put the regular Kona Coffee Milkshake back up for sale and I ordered a bottle to go along with a few ounces of Johnson Creek and the Radiator Pluid I just ordered as well. Looking forward to tasting them all.

The Kona Velvet Milkshake is growing on me. I still don't have much taste on inhale, but exhale is pretty good and smooth - I hope the Kona Coffee is a tad harsher, if that makes sense? The Kona Velvet is almost too smooth, but I don't know if I should 100% correlate that to being all PG, or if its also the flavor.
