I prefer the Aspire Davide using 1.8 KPT single coils over the Nautilus or Pro Tank. To me it's like a KPT with airflow valve wide open without dealing with the airflow base that I am not a fan of.
-
Well its a double edged sword but this will be one of the good things that come out of FDA regulation. There will be no more hiding what is in the liquid. I buy all mine from just two suppliers I know and trust what is in there but it should be universal.

Bump Everytime You Buy Something New
bcartervol98 replied to blucavvy's topic in General Vaping Discussion
My bi-monthly reload of 240ml of my stuff. That is all... -
Its pretty simple for me. If a company will not tell me what is in their product I will not use it. The Fuzion I use does not have it on the bottle because all their liquids are the same "PG free" mix. I used to think it was 65vg 35pg BUT learned that it is a mix of 65% 100% VG base and 35% flavorings which contain some PG but the flavorings thin it out enough to use in my standard tank with single coils.
-
Endless Summer is VERY sweet. A lot of the sweetness in liquid is the VG. You should give them a try man.
-
Try a Fuzion liquid one time and see if you still say that lol. The flavor is there I just don't like watermelon vapor. When I first started I thought anything I would like to eat or drink I would like to vape but I was wayyy off. Their Watermelon flavors are spot on BUT when I tasted their "Endless Summer" I knew from the first pull I had found the liquid I would use as long as I vape or they stay in business. Their flavors are super complex too.... I know Comp and want to buy from him and he has tried for a year to clone my flavor unsuccessfully. Everyone likes something different but for a high VG flavor I have not ever tried anything close.;...or even comparable to Fuzion. But liquids are one of those things that are so personal and what I love you may hate lol. My wife never smoked a menthol in her life BUT the only flavor she vapes is 80pg 20vg 24mg Peppermint with Extra Extra flavor.....tastes like an Altoid x 10.
-
Look at Fuzion Vapor. Its all I vape and is "No PG added" and is about 80%VG; the only PG is the base in the flavorings. Very rarely are any liquids 100% VG but rather a 100% VG base then the flavorings which are almost always PG based. I think their WaterFelons (I think thats the name) was the best Watermelon I ever tried back when I was flavor hunting but am not a big fan of watermelon liquid in general. Their Endless Summer is the only flavor I have vaped for about 2 and a half years.

I vape all the time. Its on my desk in my office with spares (Spinner 2s) at work, in car, on boat and at home. I think we have 12 Spinners distributed throughout our lives so we always have a backup! I keep it simple Anyvape Davide Tank 1.8ohm single coil IStick 50w (I run 7.5w@1.8ohm) Fuzion Vapor "Endless Summer". Other than the IStick I bought for the sick battery life these are the same tanks I had over 2 years ago and have not used another flavor since the first time I tried this WAY BACK over 2 years ago when we had our Unicorn Blood Testing Group thread lol. Thats the old days!

Odd Duck Vaper after 40 years of smoking
bcartervol98 replied to Wong Numba's topic in Introduce Yourself
Well we have some things in common I cannot stand going to vape shops so I just don't and never will lol. In going on 3 years I have yet to buy a single thing from a vape shop and get everything from US Suppliers online. I know what I like and like you, that is all I need. Same flavor and tank for over 2 years BUT I did buy an IStick 50w for the wife and I but not for the power more for the battery life. Its nice to charge every 3-4 days instead of every night! Other than that I cannot stand the taste or smell of tobacco anymore although I know a lot of people do. You will most likely find some people here that like tobacco flavors though. -
I didn't know the weather channel had a reality tv show..... In seriousness it may not be for everyone but the social experiment of putting people from so many walks of life into a controlled environment is super intriguing to me. My kids would play Call of Duty 24-7 if I would allow it lol. I tried those games they are just not for me. Now NCAA Football 2014 is a different story all together........... In my occupation when I get home I just want to sit down, catch a little buzz, and chill and laugh with my wife at strangers stuck in the same house for the entire summer with no contact with the outside world lol.

In a free country ones civil rights cannot be determined by a popular vote. That is why interracial marriage was illegal in 8 states until 1967 when the Supreme Court stepped in. I applaud them for the bravery in their decision in both cases. The government is for the people and by the people but the constitution is there to protect the civil rights of applicable races and groups that if left up to the majority in many states would have those rights denied if left up to popular vote. Immigration is a separate issue entirely.

Vote for Alfred E. Neumann!

Audrey, while I applaud her for being the first trans-gender person to appear on BB, is nuckin futs and needs to go BUT she provides a huge target so people could go around her until the nominations get really tough later on and use her as an easy back door then. At least that would be my strategy. As of right now Austen is my favorite closely followed by Vanessa (I sort of know her I shared several poker tables with her in past WSOPs) BUT it is hard to not root for a professional wrestler with a Masters in Medieval History lol.
-
Anyone else watch it? I know there is a certain amount of "Anti Reality TV" sentiment on the board from prior conversations but I am hooked on Big Brother and Survivor. Have never missed a single episode of any season to date. Anyway this is going to be an awesome season if anyone else watches it with the Takeover twist!
-
Thats awesome! I love adding up my ticker lol. FOr me its double what it says in savings because that is just me and the wife doubles it lol.

I'm not bashing the south just the prevalent attitude and I live in Knoxville possibly the most progressive city in the state. I was born and raised in Tennessee and have lived here 45 years and the extremes have gotten worse and worse. Maybe it's the same all over to an extent. Dont get me wrong I love living here and would never consider moving anywhere north. I have passed many great economic opportunities because I would have to move north lol. It's just the vast majority of the people I know and work around are unable to accept anything or anyone that do not act or look like them. I mean in my smallish circle of friends and amongst the younger people it is different but amongst people my age I am definitely in the minority. Then again I have an ACLU card and a NRA card in the same wallet so maybe I am the weird one for thinking everyone should be treated equally regardless of race or religion.

Chris.....PRIME example of what drives me crazy. One of my employees just told me in conversation that this next election does not even matter because we are going to have a race war and that will allow "Hussein" as he calls our President to declare martial law and cancel the election. The saddest thing is he was 100% sincere and believes that ****.

Proud of the small step South Carolina took today. Now if every Southern city, school and government body would do the same maybe healing can start after decades of sharing the same symbol of government with the KKK. This is a GREAT article by the way highlighting Southern inspired musicians and their take. Worth a read! Excerpt: "If we want to truly honor our Southern forefathers, we should do it by moving on from the symbols and prejudices of their time and building on the diversity, the art and the literary traditions we’ve inherited from them. It’s time to study and learn about who we are and where we came from while finding a way forward without the baggage of our ancestors’ fears and superstitions. It’s time to quit rallying around a flag that divides. And it is time for the South to — dare I say it? — rise up and show our nation what a beautiful place our region is, and what more it could become." http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/07/09/magazine/the-souths-heritage-is-so-much-more-than-a-flag.html?_r=3&referrer=

Yea I forgot that, this is the first time my wife or I have two cars and a boat that has never been smoked in. Well my friends still smoke up top on the boat but never in the cabin!
-
Been vaping going on 3 years and I can smell, taste, have lost 61lbs, off blood pressure meds, off anxiety meds, no more spring time allergies, my son no longer coughs or has allergy problems even though we never smoked in the house or car with him in it........ The only bad thing is the misinformation being reported by those against us, mainly those who are losing the profits from their cancer sticks.

Its the gubment gathering power for the invasion of Texas next week lol
-
Rotation it all be. I use a silicone case anyway and you cannot tell what color it is. The wife and I seem to never charge at the same time so in theory one should be fully charged for either of us at all times....even if I have to use her pink one from time to time haha. It's in a Tennessee Orange case so it's all good!

Ok after jumping in the lake last weekend with my IStick 50w around my neck I never want to have to wait on a replacement again should that shat happen again. I have a pretty basic battery question. I ordered an extra one to have on standby in addition to the one I plan to use. Between my wife and I it is only a matter of time till something happens again. How do you store your batteries you do not plan to use for quite a while? We are getting into RC cars-boats etc... and have been schooled in LiPo batteries. They enter storage mode at about 3.6-3.8v charged. Should I store my extra IStick the same way? Should I discharge the one I plan to store a bit or is it ok to store fully charged? The main reason I ask is they both came in fully charged. All the LiPo batteries at the hobby shop are charged as close to 50% as possible for storage. Is this even a concern for the more advanced units? What about all the Spinner 2s I have put to the side and only use every 3rd day when I charge my IStick? This is an area I have not seen much discussion on lately and am curious myself. I am sure over the years I have read the answer but cannot remember.

Well most will be nice.....to your face. Bigotry and racism is very much alive here but I can see the light starting to shine in my generation and those that came behind me. I have dated women of several different races and have not gotten any comments BUT I have a very good friend with a mixed daughter and I am amazed how even good friends talk shat behind her back. My beautiful wife is mostly Native American and is very dark skinned so we joke we look like an interracial couple. Then again take my son who is 10. He does not see color. He got mad because a teacher called his friend Brendan black because "Daddy he is not black he is light brown" lol. He did nto even equate it to a race but simply a skin color. When you see pics of my family we are all different colors. I am very white (SPF 50 all year) and my wife and youngest son are brown. My two older kids from a previous marriage are very white like me. I cannot get a tan even on the lake 8 months out of the year. I just burn lol. In all seriousness I thought we had come farther than we have in the South when President Obama was elected. I was amazed how many otherwise educated people started dropping the N bomb and claiming him to have to be Muslim because of his name. Birthers were all around. I have 73, well 72 employees let one go this morning, but I would say 75% or more legitimately think Barack Obama was born in a foreign country, is 100% Muslim and is on a quest to destroy America. Now I will agree he has not been the best at doing what he said he would do but those are policy opinions not irrational bigoted opinions based on innate characteristics. Its hard to keep my mouth shut most of the time man. I think we have gone backward over these last 6 years as opposed to forward in many regards BUT thank goodness we have the younger generation that are maybe the first truly enlightened generation to be raised in the South. Do a Google search for the name "Stacy Campfield" and read some of his legislation especially about the LGBT community. He publicly said Aids was started by a Canadian airline attendant having sex with an infected monkey and that is how the epidemic started. Oh forgot to mention he was a 5 term State Senator and member of the State House. He was finally defeated last year by a narrow margin and it took a GOP Doctor with 6 tours in the Persian Gulf to beat him. Again he played to the uneducated that put more stake in their archaic religious beliefs and realized in this state, they are the only ones that matter because they vote. Until 4 years ago a town within 10 miles of our Marina had a sign that read "Do not let the sun set on your black *** here" in the place where most towns have a "Welcome to _______" sign. So yea, we have a long way to go. Its the climate, mountains, lakes, and a small group of "normal" friends that allow me to keep my sanity here.

I am sure he will have a civil remedy should he choose to pursue it but they aren't just going to admit they are wrong and give him his job back. This is Tennessee, doesnt work like that here. It took a federal judge to even say it was discrimination!
