I vote for the latter. Hey, Jeff. Go beat up Troy for me. He stood me up yesterday.

May have to be an "early adopter" and try one out. I don't think I've ever had one with dual coils before.

Looking hard at a K100 Mech mod. Any reason not to buy it?
Tam replied to Sweatervest13's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Ah, good information and clarification. I was just going to stop tell my batteries stories of all the different applications I was going to use them for and the high expectations I had... -

Would you explain a little more of what you mean by "stressing" the batteries? -

Tam replied to Sweatervest13's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Personally, I see no need to get an RDA or RBA for it as my KPT2 is amazing with the K100. If you want, you can get whatever, but I'm enjoying it just as is without a kick or anything else. -
As a pack a day smoker I started with 24 mg of nic in a 50/50 ratio. With the Twist I'd go as low voltage as it'll go to start and work up slowly until you get a harsh vape. Turn it down until it smooths out, that should be the sweet spot for that flavor. As far as I know you should be fine with the creamier blends, these tend to like lower heat (low voltage), though. It can also depend on what ohm coil you're using in the Pro Tank mini. If it's a 1.8 ohm (low resistance), it could make your juice harsh, especially if you're using a higher voltage on your Twist. I'd go with a minimum of a 2.2 - 2.5 ohm so you have some playing room with the voltage. Your apple crisp flavor may be fine -- it might just need to steep awhile. That's been my experience with Mt. Baker's juices. Most of those that I bought from them needed to be steeped at least a couple of weeks before the juice turned into something that didn't taste vile. By steeping, that means to put it into a dark place away from children and pets and let it sit. Shake at least once a day. Some people prefer to steep with the cap off, which is my preference. Good luck!

Tam replied to Sweatervest13's topic in General Vaping Discussion
The batteries that come with are acceptable. With better batteries come better performance, at least that's been the case in my experience with these. I still use the stock batteries on occasion so you can use these to start. The charger is a different matter altogether. I've been reading that some of them get very hot when in use. Just to be safe I'd get a better charger right away. You can wait a bit on the batteries. -

Oh no, Troy. I was not calling you names under my breath while stuck in Denver traffic for several hours. I was saying them out loud. With a good bit of volume. Lol. Anyway...the K100 I won at a vapemeet a few weeks ago is a solid mechanical mod. If it's a real K100, then the $30 price is a great one. Most of these kits go for an average $50 or so. The two batteries that come with it are...okay. Not spectacular but not bad. I prefer my 18650 protected Panasonics, however. As for the charger that comes in the kit? Throw it away and get a real one that'll last. The extra cost is more than worth it to replace the charger for one that actually works. One more thing I forgot to add. I noticed an increase in performance in the mod when I replaced the stock battery with my Panasonic. The mod performed much better with the better battery. I don't think it was just my imagination because I tried it with the stock battery and back and forth. The better battery makes the mod work better. -
Just got home from work and discovered that my 125 ml bottle of Feels Like a Nut came in from EC Blends. My last 125 ml order I changed it up and went with 60 PG/40 VG. It was way too thin and made my atty gurgle. This time I ordered 40 PG/60 VG, dumped them both into a huge glass jar so together they'll end up at the 50/50 ratio. And 250 ml. Oh what I won't do to get the perfect consistency in my juices. I've learned my lesson with this flavor and will not mess with the PG/VG ration again.

If you bought the ones I linked to, it comes with a drip tip type of thing on top. Yes, you take that off (and replace with drip tip of your choice or use it), drip inside, replace drip tip. The first several draws may not taste like anything as you'll have to get through the primer first.

Protank 2 / Mini Protank 2 / Replacement head interest thread

Thanks. Will update in a few. -
Protank 2 / Mini Protank 2 / Replacement head interest thread
Tam replied to Proetus's topic in General Vaping Discussion
When's the deadline for the interest spreadsheet? There are a couple of people I'd like to talk with to see if they'd also be interested in ordering through me but I'm out of town tomorrow so it'll be a day or two before I can put my "interest" in. -
The little guy was more than worth it and had a rough start as a puppy mill rescue. As long as he wasn't in pain and still happy I just couldn't give up on him. I'm very thankful that we were in a position to be able to afford all that. His weekly chiropractor visits made all the difference. His chiropractor is a saint and even gave me her personal number in case he needed emergency care between his appointments.

If you go to specialtybottle.com you could get the same 30 ml (1 oz) bottle with dropper for .87 cents. Just sayin'. http://www.specialtybottle.com/amberbostonroundglassbottle1ozwdropper.aspx

No, you're not reading it wrong. I believe they use distilled water to cut the thickness of the juice, if I remember correctly and...yes, yes I do. "Our ingredients are simple: nicotine, organic vegetable glycerin, distilled water and certified organic flavors. Some of our organic flavors come in an organic ethyl alcohol base. If you would prefer an alcohol-free e-liquid, please order from our Absolute line. On request, your e-liquid will also contain propylene glycol. Our e-liquids NEVER contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners or any other additives." Emphasis mine. Read the FAQ here: http://www.virginvapor.com/pages/frequently-asked-questions Only if you request it do they use PG in your juices. I've ordered from them before and their juices are good, if a tiny bit on the "more expensive than other places" side.

For me it all depended on what kind of juice it was. The creamier stuff needed a minimum of two to three weeks while the fruity flavors took considerably less time. Just take the cap off, put it into a dark place away from kids and animals, shake once a day and try it every few days to see if it's where you want and where it tastes good for you. Sorry, but that's the best advice I can give for this.
-
Yes. The Mt. Baker's flavors that I wound up liking all needed to steep for quite some time.

My little guy, Mikey, got a bad cataract in his right eye and wound up having regular appointments with an ophthalmologist. His last two years he had an ophthalmologist, an internal specialist, his regular vet and a chiropractor. He had better healthcare than me and my SO. Lol. Still, he was a happy camper all the way to the end of his days. I hope your dog pulls through okay.

New member and not feeling good after vaping
Tam replied to joshc08's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
What BirdDog said. Also, what kind of set up did you get? The battery type, the atomizer/clearomizer/cartomizer/tank? You also went from one extreme to the other on the ratio of PG/VG. I'd suggest trying some 50/50 and go from there. Just a thought. -
I don't kiss and tell, Bebop. You should know that!

What I'd like from Santa this year has nothing to do with vaping, I think I have more than enough stuff in that area -- for now anyway. My main wish is to have some uninterrupted time to myself so I can get some rest. This is a very rare thing for me these past few years so, if I've been good enough to rate a gift, this would be what I'd like.
-
But they only use PG "on your request." It's not in their usual mix.
-
I'm not sure how it's done but you could ask over at Virgin Vapor. They do the 100% VG and extract the flavors themselves. I think they sometimes cut it with distilled water so it's not too thick...

Different vapor production with wattage levels
Tam replied to Grant951's topic in General Vaping Discussion
My K100 (no kick) produces way more vapor than my Evic. The mech mod gives me better performance, so much so that my Evic just sits here collecting dust while the K100 gets quite the workout. -
From EC Blends: 50 ml blueberry 50 ml peppermint 15 ml Orange Ripple All at 12 mg nic, 50/50 blend.
