Velvet Cloud Vapor

[Gato del Jugo]

I really want to like the PT, but I just don't get much flavor nor vapor from it. I might try re-wicking it with cotton, just haven't been that adventurous yet with it!

The new Kanger Aerotank caught my eye the other day!

Yeah, as I dive deeper into the world of toppers, I might try organic cotton re-wicking at some point.. really cheap & easy to do, can get it at like CVS/Walgreen's.. That said, after a bunch of online research, I'm also pretty convinced that silica wicks aren't harmful

And yes, the Aero has already caught my eye.. heard tons of great things about it, and it's been coming down in price..

There certainly are worse issue to have!

This is true..

I just went on Amazon to look at organic cotton balls. Guess what comes up in the "what others bought" section?

Kanthal wire & 18650 batteries!!!

jrenae,

I noticed that you now have a quit-cig counter thingy.. Congrats on the 1st couple days! It does get a heck of a lot easier

And the further you get away from that, the more money you'll be saving.. that's how I've been saving boatloads of cash & using it instead for vaping -- and still have come out ahead!

Of course, I've been cig-free for almost 6 months now, and was treading water for the first 3-4 months.. but once you get rolling with the vape stuff, the financial savings just start snow-balling

Thank you! Lemme tell ya I'm on thin ice! I decided to make the banner right after 24 hours to kind of hold myself accountable, if that makes sense? In 10 yrs I haven't gone 24 hrs without an analog. And now I wouldn't want to be a liar to you great folks here, so I know it sounds strange, but that's why I made it so soon

This doesn't sound strange at all! Adding the counter and reading countless success stories here on ECF is what got me through my first weeks of ditching analogs. Almost every time I had the urge, I ended up reading something on ECF that stopped me from giving in.

Congrats to you!

You'll do great.. the first few days are the roughest, then just gets easier & easier & easier

It also helps to have really yummy juice...


Seriously, just to reiterate, the financial savings is just crazy.. I used to get my cigs in a neighboring state because they were "cheaper" than in-state -- and I was still spending like $250 a month!

And to think, I bought a brand-new ProVari with an extension cap for less than what I used to spend on cigs each month.. which is how I justified it.. Very worth it, and I needed a 2nd mod anyway -- which will probably last for years (not to mention any re-sale value)


I don't miss smoking at all.. vaping is sooooo much better...

Look at it this way: You've already saved $12.. In a few more hours you could buy a whole 30ml of whatever VCV you want (with the code)!

I got vapemail, yaaaay I got vapemail!

Not only did VCV fulfill my sample request of Harvest Berries, they also threw in a sample of Maple Mountain Breakfast!

So what is everyone using to vape their VCV juices?
I am using an IBTanked and a Vivi V-Fate 3.5 on a ProVari Mini.
When I go snowboarding, I use an ego type with a Vivi V-Fate 2.0

Sometimes I'll drip with an atty, not into the RBAs yet.
Tried using a PTII, just don't get good vapes from it though.

I drip for the dark juices (Mewlew's, Monkey Business, etc.), and if I'm not in the mood to vape a lot of one flavor (which is how things usually are for me, because I switch flavors like every hour). I keep Ice Beard and sometimes one other "Beard" in a carto-tank, though. I alternate between my SVD and MVP 2.

does anybody have problems with VCV nicotine content? i order all my juices in 6mg and i feel as some juices have way more nicotine in them than 6mg and some juices feel as if they do not even have 6mg

I've tried them in several different set-ups. I have an Igo-L, but I just can't get into wrapping coils. I am not a fiddler. But I do like to drip VCV in dripping attys on my Sidewinder. They work really well in my VMOD. One VMOD has been dedicated to Vanilla Custard for quite some time. Also tried them in an Aurora BFT on a Vision Spinner and in a Mini PT2 on my MVP2. No problems there either.

My favorite set-up for pretty much all of my liquids is the Mini PT2 on the MVP.

Dripping was the best way for me to fight cravings. The nic delivery is pretty efficient so it satisfies the urge quickly. If you drip regularly, you'll probably start ordering liquids with a lower nic level.

Out of curiosity, what mg are you vaping? I started at 24 but dropped to 18 really quickly. Dripping at about 6mg seems to work well for me.

How do you like the Aurora BFT? I've been eyeballing it for months, since you could order it in the states. I just ordered this today: EmpireMods LR306 1.8ohm since all the recent recommendations I see on here are how amazing these are. I've only dripped once using a cheapy disposable atty which I burnt up pretty quick, but from what I remember I liked it. Especially since I only have four tanks and lots of juices coming in, I'm excited to do it again.

Do you think VCV will ever get Wild Cherries back?? I forgot about that one, and wanted to try it. Went to look yesterday and saw it is no more

Love the BFTs! Empire Mods makes good attys. Great choice! Avid has some good ones, too.
I hope they restock the Wild Cherries. I think it is a big seller, so I can't imagine they would drop it permanently.

Yeah I was looking at the Avid ones as well. I might have to pick up a BFT and try it for myself but have so many other things to order first! LOL. And I forget to answer your nic question, I vape 18 mg.

does anybody have problems with VCV nicotine content? i order all my juices in 6mg and i feel as some juices have way more nicotine in them than 6mg and some juices feel as if they do not even have 6mg

I vape at 6mg, too.. for over a month now. One of the 1st things I noticed right away (aside from the yumminess) about VCV juice was I swear I was getting hit harder by the nic. And still do to this day. Every order, every bottle, no matter the flavor.

Never less, though. It's always been consistent for me.


That's run across my mind, too.. maybe it's actually more, that the math/process/testing/QC could be a bit sloppy?

I don't think so, though. And for one reason.. if it were more than 6mg, it would feel.. different. I know what too much nic feels like, and this doesn't feel like that.

This feels like a "cleaner" & more direct nic hit. Best way I can describe it.

But at least for me, I wouldn't categorize it as a problem. Just the opposite, actually..


I could be wrong on this, but maybe they just do a better job at the extraction level, doing something different than others to get more nic purity? I'm not a professional chemist or anything, but I know there can be various ways of doing things to obtain somewhat varied results. They seem to be doing lots of things right, at least to my tastebuds & performance observations.. so why not at the nic level, too?


Questions for you: Do you notice any rhyme or reason to you're noticing of different nic levels? Like, if it's always the same particular flavors? Stuff that's been steeped more, or less?

Also, are you keeping everything else consistent, i.e., same PV equipment & settings -- and still noticing a difference? Time of day? Etc.


Curious if anybody else notices anything about nic levels / nic hits, too...

Re: VCV's nicotine strength. Yesterday was my first day at work since having not had a cig. I was nervous I would fall off the wagon. I brought my HB with me (18 mg) and went out at 2 (no smoking between 12-2) to have my vape. WHOA nicotine buzz. I guess I noticed it because I hadn't vaped in over four hours. So apparently I've been sitting in my house vaping this 18 mg all the live long day not noticing how strong it is Think my next orders will be 12 mg as I tend to chain vape when at home.

 

[RuDawg7890]

18 does have quite a kick! My first VCV order was 12mg, and it wasn't cutting it to keep me off analogs. 18 did the trick though! I think for my next order, I'm going to order equal parts of 12 & 18 and mix them to make 15. I don't think I could drop right down to 12 yet.

Two orders ago, my free sample was strawb-gwab @ 24mg...WOAH!!! Headrush!!!
