How does the VCV juice wick in those units? Any problems? Good flavor and vapor production?

Never any wicking problems or anything with VCV..

A new or freshly-rinsed & dry-burned 30 can take a bit to get going.. Have to let it soak up for a while after filling, maybe take a few vapes without hitting the PV button (primer puffs)... But once it gets going, never an issue...

I angle the 30's swivel mouthpiece upwards (so the opening is aimed closer to the roof of my mouth) which helps with wicking position.. A trick I learned from YouTube's pbusardo... A PBusardo Review & Contest - Innokin SVD & iClear30 - YouTube

As the juice in a 16 gets lower, since it doesn't have the swivel mouthpiece, I'll make sure to hold it horizontally & slowly spin it every now & then to make sure the wicks are coated with juice.. I'll also rest it on its side (doesn't leak that way) so again, to make sure the wicks are coated with juice... Otherwise, I vape it at like a 45-degree angle


Both the 16 & the 30 put out nice vapor with VCV.. I've gotten some surprisingly pretty sick clouds with certain lighter-colored VCV juices (fruits, unflavored), and I'm not even into that cloud-blowing stuff or vape at high voltage/wattage, LOL


Flavor? Put it this way: I've mixed a 15ml bottle.. 14ml of unflavored & just 1ml of VCV's Harvest Berry...

Filled up a 16 a bunch of times with it -- and could still taste the flavor (obviously mild, of course.. but could still taste it)

Both the 16 & the 30 have good flavor, though the 16 is a little stronger.. I'm guessing since it's thinner


I've tried like 6 or 7 different clearos -- the 16 & 30 have been the best to me so far

And fortunately they're inexpensive enough, so I've got a bunch of them :D


I say give a couple of each a try if you're looking for something cheap that works well.. And if you like one or both, buy more

What are you guys vaping VCV juices out of? I have Ice Beard menthol ready to use hoping to get smooth sailing out of my soon to be Protank 2 mini.

Vivi V-fates and IBT carto tank.

I don't understand how anyone vapes VCV in a PTII with success, I've had no luck at all with mine.

Hahah Gato, you make me laugh.

I have even "worse" news...


You know those 15ml bottles? I just measured..

We have more than we think... VCV fills them to 17.5ml


I'm a little scared to try this next with a 30 & 120... :D


P.S. Among others, Summer Sweet & Fruit Cup are headed my way! :banana:

I've been vaping Summer Sweet during the day every day the last few days.

Don't go too nuts with it, or it may end up like your White Beard.. :(


I'm curious to what Summer Sweet really tastes like.. Reviews here & at the VCV site are all over the map when it comes to which individual flavorings are most prominent


Sadly, this & Fruit Cup are the final VCV fruit frontier for me.. I know they've been really busy in the past month (if order #'s are any indication), but I really wish they'd get a move-on with their new flavors, which was announced 2 months ago...

In a way, I'm glad the new flavors haven't been released yet. This way, I'm not obligated to place another order!!

Is that easy to build -I want to try rebuildables but am not very techy

I've been looking into this as well. I'm plenty techy, but I don't want something that will take up a lot of my time.

My research has been pointing me towards the IGO-L. Seems plenty simple to build with, and gets good results too.
Also considering the Kayfun, but not sure I really want a tank dripper.

I hear you, but at the same time, the new flavors will still be there when it's time for a new order..

Besides, let others be the guinea pig.. Get some reviews going 1st, here & at the VCV web-site...


And just to rationalize my 210ml+ order from yesterday... :D

I definitely do NOT need more juice, volume-wise!

I did it for flavor purposes (I need fruit!)..

And for nic-level purposes -- I've got too much 6mg, and I don't know how much longer I'll be doing 4.5 full-time..

Not to mention for steeping purposes.. Ain't nothing like a Catherine steeped for a full month.. :drool:


I also ordered some zero-nic unflavored.. The longer I vape, the more & more I'm seeing how beneficial not only unflavored can be, but also zero-nic for all sorts of reasons

$16 for 120ml... Only like 13 cents per ml!

And yeah, people can get it cheaper elsewhere.. but is it as good? Maybe, but I'm too lazy to find out...

You're right, I guess I could wait!!

Based on a response I received in an email from VCV, this has to be the same type of VG they use:

Amazon.com: Vegetable Glycerine Kosher USP - 1 Gallon (128 oz.): Health & Personal Care

There's a number of brands of VG out there..

Are they all equal? Probably not.. Figuring there might be differences in taste, performance, longevity, purity, price, ingredients that they've been derived from, processes in how they were derived, quality control, etc.

Plus I like VCV's label & the distilled water that they add.. ;)


But yeah, if a vaper weren't picky, and had use for a boatload of VG, that's the way to go...

I was thinking of getting VCV's 500ml, but I'm not there yet...

EDIT: With the sale, it comes out to 6.4 cents per ml

Do you think they dilute the unflavored with distilled? My bottle seems to be a heck of a lot thicker than their flavored juices. I ended up diluting mine with some RO water.

Per the VCV site, unflavored contains distilled water..


I also just did a comparison test, since I have partially-filled 15ml bottles of flavored & unflavored.. Noticed no difference in viscosity...

Interesting. Mine was easily noticeable when using a syringe to transfer to a smaller bottle.

Okay, thinking of ordering this... ;)

We have a forklift or loading dock...

:D

That'll get 'er done!
