Got into squonking to get the most pristine flavour possible (without the hassle of dripping). Cartos? Muted. Clearos? Blech (at least at the time). RTA's? A hazy mystery that was either leaking or gurgling (again, at the time).
Spent a year trying anything after getting the first REO. I mean, hey, eeeeeverything taste so good in a RM2 or cyclone. Six or seven different flavours in a day? No problem (okay... there was a problem, but that was solved by getting more REO's). You name a flavour (I dare ya) - I tried it in a REO.
Then I dove into DIY. Y'see, I live in a country where nic base cost $275 for a litre of 100mg, so I got in late when the price came down (like crude oil... which decimates our dollar, so ya take the good with the bad). $75/l now, so I've got a freezer full of base.
Like Spydro (in fact, disturbingly like Spydro), I'm into spicey, jolting flavours (now of my own concoction). Absinthe with heavy citrus, chai, a spearmint that'll rip you a new one (says so on the label I made for it), and a tangerine lemonade that sounds sedate... but isn't (no, gentle reader, it is not).
To me (and I say this with no slight to sloth or superX or any of the other flavourless vapers - go for it, lads and ladies), this whole squonking thing is about flavour. Glorious, wonderful, beguiling flavour - and nothing delivers it better than a good topper on a REO.
(whew) There. I feel better.
Again... those of you vaping flavourless - as you were. Totally cool in my book.
