Someone else on the forum who is more experienced with the Dekang brand will be of more help to you on this one. My personal favorite, although I regularly buy from several different vendors, is EC Blend. With their juices you can customize the heck out of all of them.

The higher the VG in an e-liquid = more vapor. I've found that when I use something high in PG it also hurts my throat (a harsher "throat hit"). Might go with something like 40 PG/60 VG. Just be careful with too much VG as that can also mean thicker liquid therefore gumming up your atties or cartomizers not wicking properly.

I agree with Jeff and McQuinn with the Vivi Nova.

We all have our preferences so here's mine: http://vapelite.info/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_47&products_id=62 Boge 2.0 ohm atomizer I use mine at 4.0 mAh on my Spinner and Twist but that also can vary with the user's preference. It comes with a tip so you don't have to order a separate 510 drip tip unless you want to. Actually, the mouth piece on this atomizer is pretty nice and doesn't allow the liquid to come back up when you take a drag. An optional piece of equipment that I think is essential is a drip shield. When you drip the liquid tends to ooze a bit out of the bottom of the atomizer so you have to keep wiping it as you vape. With a drip shield that's not necessary. It's also very forgiving if you over drip like I tend to do. These two links will fit the Twist and Spinner. http://www.empiremods.com/product_p/emegodrip.htm http://www.empiremods.com/product_p/egodc.htm The other drip shields at Empire Mods will work but they won't go down to cover the battery threads like the two that I've linked to. I prefer the second one because it has more air holes in it for a looser draw. Hope that helps.

With some of the thicker juices I've used it usually only takes one drop per tankful, two tops, to get it to the right consistency. Whenever I've done that I've never noticed a difference in flavor but that could just be me. As for ohm levels I tend to stick to 1.8 - 2.0. Everyone has their own preferences so that's my two cents.

If you're going to go with only one battery (for now), I'd suggest you get an eGo passthrough. That way, if your battery dies, you can plug it in and still vape without having to wait until it's fully charged. Also, I would second Viper Ron's recommendation for the Vivi Nova or Vivi Nova Mini. As with anything, back ups are your friends. Having them on hand should you need them will make your life so much easier. Good luck!

For all intents and purposes, other than you can actually *see* the numbers on the Spinner, they're like the same type of battery. All my clearomizers, atomizers and everything else are interchangeable.

As much as I love my twist, I'd encourage you to get the Vision Spinner instead. I think you'll be much happier being able to see the numbers so you'll know what voltage you're vaping at. The twist is wonderful but it's next to impossible to see the numbers... Just so you know, I bought the twist first then the Spinner much later. I now have one twist and three Spinners if that tells you anything.

I will be able to keep track of what juice is in which tank by using the #ModHolder that I will eventually buy from Mark. Eventually. All joking aside, I've gotten as much as two months out of a T2 coil. That said, I've also had the same type of coil pop on me in less than an hour. They vary so it can just be down to luck. With your battery you *should* be able to get some time from your coil but I'd order more just to be on the safe side. You can NEVER have too many back ups. And back ups of back ups. As for keeping track of which flavor is in a tank? If I'm feeling industrious I use my label maker with transparent labels and put them on the tank. Otherwise I just have to stick it on a battery and vape to figure out what's in there. Others probably have some kind of system but I haven't figured mine out yet.

For the most part I don't care for cherry flavored...anything, but I found that I do like EC Blend's Black Cherry. It doesn't taste like cough syrup to me but YMMV. Good luck in your search!

Usually with higher VG the juice tends to be thicker. You can just add a drop or two of distilled water to thin it down if you want. Go only one drop at a time so you don't get it too watery. Different thickness of juices vary by vendor and sometimes even by flavor. Higher VG/thicker juice also makes it harder for the wick to absorb the e-liquid so you could experience a burning taste if you're not careful. Good luck and congrats on switching to vaping! Oh. One more thing. Be careful with the Cinnamon Red Hots flavor in a clearomizer with a plastic tank. Cinnamon and/or juices high in citrus as well as clove flavors can crack the plastic. Just keep an eye on it when using.

The adapter is just to hide the threads. It's not needed for the mini to work, it just makes it look nicer.

As for the air compressor we're in the market for a newer one right now. Our old one isn't strong enough to power our impact wrenches. I'd consider compressed air except for the other chemicals in the can so I just let them dry over night. But the main thing on the honey-do list is installing my new automatic garage door opener tomorrow. The old one that was a birthday present to me from my fiance finally broke. His family is still shaking their heads over the gift choices that my fiance gives to make me happy. First a tool box (the top cabinet of a rolling tool box - he even let me pick it out!), then the garage door opener, a one ton floor jack... What can I say, I'm not exactly lace and frills material. lol.

Thanks for the tip on the grain, I'll give those a try. I was also thinking of possibly using one of those green scratchy scrubby pads you use to wash pans. They work wonderfully to provide a smooth finish where sandpaper might be too abrasive.

Thanks for the link. I thought that's what you were talking about but wanted to be sure. Just ordered and got some of these recently so I was curious how you liked them. The light purple one is a comfortable fit but the dark purple's tip seems to stick out too much. I'm going to grind it down a bit tomorrow then take a fine sandpaper or maybe an emery board to the finish afterwards.

What does a knucklehead drip tip look like. Link?

Virgin Vapor has all VG as well as organic e-liquids. Since you said that you're all new to this have your friend try something before going with all VG. Vaping isn't like smoking. You suck the vapor into your mouth first, hold it a second and then inhale. Your friend might be inhaling right away, which might be the cause of her coughing. Just a thought.

While you're passing links along, give him these, too. The first one is for a drip shield that's a very close match in color to the purple spinner. The second is for a purple drip tip. http://www.empiremods.com/product_p/egodc.htm http://stormysvaporcellar.com/oc_1/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=374 Just trying to help... lol

http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_214&products_id=1337 Oh look, Ninjabatgirl! They have 32 in stock. This is where I got all of my Spinners. Great customer service too.

Yes, it tastes just like an Almond Joy, especially if you add the double extra sweet. Silly Rixter, it's the place you first rec'd to me: EC Blends.

I don't have a clue but vaping will dehydrate you so you should drink lots of water. Tea and coffee are diuretics so I'd limit myself on those.

Well, for the past week or a little longer I've been vaping Feel Like a Nut, Vanilla Malt, Strawberry shortcake and Dulce de Leche all from EC Blends on a daily basis. Aaaaand...since I just got down to the last 10 ml of Feel Like a Nut I just went over and ordered another 50 ml bottle. With the double extra sweetner in it it really hits the sweet tooth I never knew I had. lol.

Me too, Lyrical! So far today I've been going back and forth between Feel Like a Nut, Vanilla Malt, Strawberry shortcake and Dulce de Leche all from EC Blends and Sweet Watermelon from TVR.

Vivi Novas are wonderful. I second Jeff's "Get it!!!!!"

You know, if Chris doesn't make a Dulcis like that you could just get some bacon flavored e-liquid and mix a batch of your own.
