You're sweet, Troy, but I'm not always spot on. I just try to give explanations of what works/worked for me.

Congrats on getting your first kit. You can't go wrong with buying from Brian at The Veteran Vaper. His customer service is excellent! You'll be experimenting plenty with different flavors of juice. No one can tell you what you're going to like as juice is very subjective and will depend on your taste buds. As you get away from analogs (cigarettes), you'll notice your preferences changing. Don't worry if you still smoke while you're switching over to vaping, it's not an all or nothing kind of thing. You'll get there eventually -- at your own pace. Leaving that stressor behind was one of the things that helped me the most when I quit smoking. Also, vaping is not like smoking. Take a hit, hold in your mouth for a sec and then inhale. Exhale through your mouth and nose. When your taste buds heal a little you'll be better able to taste the flavor this way. Good luck!

Here's an e-juice calculator link: http://www.todmuller.com/ejuice/ejuice.php Hope that helps?

Two more custom HH.357 hybrid spec atomizers at 2.0 ohms just got here. Right in time so I can send the other two to be cleaned/rebuilt to get the gunk from overly sweet and dark juices out.

Good for you, Jeff. I hope your screen comes back clean.

While I can't say that Fuzion's juices blow me away like bcarter, I will say that OrangeZilla is very good, especially with a couple of drops of sweetener added. I'm also vaping OrangeZilla right now through a Davide mini. Will need to get more of this sometime soon.

This topic is interesting for me because I want to see what people on the forum say. It might give me some recs to new RBAs that I might want to try.

RDA because I prefer direct dripping. I'm still new to these but I'm looking around. I don't care for how big around the tanks are on RBAs -- for now. I use Vision Spinners and the huge tanks make my set up top heavy. Once I get into a mod, that might change...

Some forum members use either rubber O-rings or hair ties to put around the glass part. It protects the tank when/if you should drop it. Maybe that's an option for you? So far I haven't seen any replacement glass for the Davide mini. Yet. They should be coming out soon-ish, or so I would hope.

Just ordered a 30 ml bottle of Flavor Flush from Texas Select Vapor. It's supposed to flush out old flavors and to help atomizers work the way they did before getting gunked up by dark and sweet juices.

Just bought a bottle. Thanks, Rix. Will try it and see what happens. Hopefully, it'll work and I won't have to send these in. I got a "it shipped" notice yesterday on the two more I ordered awhile back. Whichever one gets here first I don't care but I want these back to working the way they did when I first got them.

Ugh. No pun intended.

At $5 - 10 for five atomizers to be cleaned/rebuilt, I figure I'm still ahead of the game to do this. Since mine are gummed up from vaping dark, sweet juices I thought I'd use some of the other atomizers I had from before and... I'm ruined! I'm RUINED, I tell you. These things have made it so I can't use anything else. The other atomizers just fail in comparison. And it's all your fault. *sighs*

Nope. Something in your post here just hit a funny bone for no apparent reason.

どう致しまして. Hope it works for you.

It may take a while to get the taste out. That said, those iClear 30s have long wicks in them so they may retain the other flavor for quite some time if not forever. How well did you wash the wicks? I would try soaking them in either Everclear or vodka for several hours and then dry overnight. That might help get the other flavor out. Just a thought...

What in the world are you doing to your poor clearomizers that they break?

Place bottle of juice into a ziplock baggie (this is so the label doesn't get wet, if you don't care about that, skip the baggie), get as much air out and seal. Place into a bowl of hot water (not boiling). Let sit until water cools. Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary until your juice is where you want it to be. Check the juice periodically to see if it's the flavor you want/expect -- this is where direct dripping comes in handy.

ROFLMAO

Is this what you use for your HH.357, Rixter? Since I use dark, sweet juice mine are getting to where even a soak in premium vodka isn't doing it. Two more are on their way from Hana so when they get here I'm shipping these back to him to rebuild.

I do have a Twist but I don't use it for dripping just for this very reason.

I ship mine back to the original manufacturer who then rebuilds it and sends it back for a very reasonable fee.

I'm also sitting this one out but only because I've been a fan of this juice for quite some time now. I am looking forward to hearing what others think of it, though.

Ugh. I'm on an iPhone.

Happy World Vaping day to you, too!
