Tam

@Tam @Uncivil11  I think it will be awhile before I develop any stable preferences.  Thinking about it the last little while, it is no surprise that in the beginning I needed something with really strong flavor to taste it at all.  The citrus flavors would actually started giving me heartburn after awhile as well as become very bright and cutting.  Vapor's tongue is something I am starting to get a handle on.  How to switch back and forth between flavors, what to drink, and watching the temperature of my vapes.  I've got six fruit DYI recipes I really am enjoying at this point.  I still keep some citrus to shock the tongue from time to time.  All in all it's going really good.  It's a process.  

Right? That "shinyitis" is pretty terminal... or so I've heard. 

The Russian 91% is a good RBA, although these days mentioning anything Russian might not be a good thing. lol 

After the first year and a half or so I moved away from fruit juices because it seemed like they were all too "sharp" with regard to the flavor. I would add some vanilla or a creamy creme brule to cut the citrus, which is really weird because in my day to day, I love sharp citrus. Mojito was a long time favorite that I still go back to every so often, but I add a little something to smooth it out.
My ADV for the past three or more years is an flavor that tastes like the Almond Joy candy bar. I never would have guessed that this flavor would have a hold on me this long. My vaping tastes (pun intended) is so different than my food/drink preferences. Vaping's weird that way.

Pick your poison!  Har har! 
Sorry couldn't help myself......  I love this hobby!

Just bought... a bunch o'stuff from the VT store including a Smok Baby Beast and a 5-pack of coils, some more Triton coils, an Aerotank and coils along with a few others that will remain nameless until I get them shipped out to friends as gifts. Don't want to spoil the fun.   

Nice work and good thinking outside the box, Walt!

One each leftover chunk of 1" oak.  Ripped to 4cm.  Passed four top sides through router table taking just a tad off to add a little detail.  Cut a 9mm slot down the center.  Viola!!!  Attys sit on top and they don't fall down!  Fifteen minute project. 
 

Good job on the review, Walt! 

Got my order from the VT store! Everything was all wrapped in beautiful purple tissue paper... my puppy was dancing around the box he was so excited! He loves any kind of paper and tissue paper has the advantage of making a lovely crinkle sound, lol!
The best thing was the note on my inventory sheet that said, "We love you Tam!" Made my day. 

Mine's a little over 20 years old so it's not as accurate as I'd like. Need to look into replacing it but it still works for other things... 

Instead of using your mod to read the coil resistance, get yourself a dedicated ohm meter. Even though mods have gotten better, I still don't trust them to give me the most accurate reading -- as you can tell with the fluctuations you're seeing. Better safe than being the next story about something blowing up in the news.

Waiting... are you done yet? 
I was in an "OMG, I've got to buy it NOW or I'm going to put it back" mood last night so I picked up a 5-pack of the Q2 coils. We'll see how that goes. After listening to you praise this little tank, I finally decided to pull the trigger. See? Yes, I was listening to you... sort of.

Brush tongue and inhale deeply over fresh coffee grounds.   

Every liquid is so different as well.  I was vaping some mild citrus @3mg and 65W.  Changed to Some Tiger's Blood @ 6mg and could not deal with it.  A lot better @ 55w.  Get more vapor too because I can get a good draw.

I keep shop rags around.  In my car, in my work laptop case, in my desk at work...places like that.  My leakage issues are typically limited to the things I mentioned above; warm days or drastic altitude changes.  When a tank starts to leak, I wrap a shop rag around the air holes or slots and blow into the tank to blow out the liquid that has leaked.  After that, I fire the mod to heat the coil and simultaneously blow.  That will burn off any liquid that didn't get blown out.  Then I return to my regularly scheduled vaping session.
Preventing leaks in the first place is key, as you know.  Keeping your tanks in good working order (regularly inspect O-rings and gaskets, check glass integrity, proper installation of coils, etc.), don't over-fill, keep tanks upright (even the best tanks will leak when they are on their side), and keep in mind that thinner liquids are going to be more prone to leaking will help prevent leaks from happening in the first place.
Also, one other cause of leaks is NOT vaping a tank completely.  If a tanks with liquid sits for a couple of days without being used, the vacuum that is created through the act of vaping will slowly release and liquid WILL leak out. 

Welcome!  You are in luck.  This one of the friendliest forums I've stumbled into.  Lots of folks here with a lot of great experience.  Quick note, I'm not one of those folks.  I just started one month earlier than you.  But like every enthusiastic newbee, I still like to share what I think I know, lol.  
Regardless, great choice and again welcome!

Leakage is actually an issue that can arise with any tank, not just the "Beast" line.  Atmospheric conditions, drastic altitude changes, VG/PG ratio, coil priming method...all of these can lead to leaking.  I have Baby Beasts and Cloud Beasts in my daily rotation and, with the exception of the occasional extra warm day or trip to the mountains, I don't have any leaking issues with any of my tanks.  They both have their advantages and disadvantages over each other.  The Cloud Beast has a larger capacity, but the Baby Beast is slightly more convenient due to its more compact size.  They are both workhorses and I really wouldn't rate one better than the other. 

OMG!  I am literally laughing out loud all by myself.  The cats seem to think Dad has gone south.  I'm more than happy to return the favor!  BTW, to qualify that, all the money you helped me spend has been well spent.  

Give me a minute to pick my jaw up from the floor.  It immediately dropped upon learning @Tamis pulling the trigger on a Baby Beast.
The only coils I've used are the T8 (.15 ohm) and the Q2 (.4 ohm version that comes pre-installed).
Both coils provide a nice balance between flavor and vapor.  The T8 coil has a slightly tighter draw than the Q2 and as a result, it is easier to mimic the MTL style you prefer.  And yes, even though it is a sub ohm tank and is meant for DTL hits, it is possible to MTL with this tank.

Thanks for the rec, Walt. I can always count on the great folks here at VT to help me spend my money.
