OMG new all day vape here, Fadora Nectarine. I'm VERY picky when it comes too all day vapes especially. Fadoras nectarine is now in my rotation for sure, I've been dripping it since I got it and now it's in the Russian 91% also. I actually just got on to send Compenstine a message about how good Nectarine is, then decided I had to share it with my buddies here too. This is some gooood stuff. Finding another ADV made my whole week!

Try around a .5, it will probably be a lot more pleasant. I've discovered after plenty of trial and error that lower ohm isn't always better even if the setup handles it fine. The other day I ran a 1.3 ohm in my Kayfun and I thought the battery gauge was broken it lasted so long.

It's great to hear that you're enjoying it. That's quite a nice setup. I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to go below .35 either especially if it's just for the numbers. Thought I'd share something I recently have learned, even though in the past I read it, I'm just now experiencing it personally. Something I've been learning more about as I get more familiar with my RDA's is how much airflow affects flavor. I've found that there are some of my juices I'm not crazy about on my typical airflow opening, but if I increase the air flow and make the holes bigger, the flavor gets much more enjoyable. Also for some juices or when my mood is right, I like to slightly reduce the airflow. I have a craft vapery subscription and so I taste a lot of new juice (well a lot for me, 6 or 7 bottles of "treat vapes" a month. After getting more familiar with how much air flow effects flavors, I went back to some older juices I had shelved in the "ok if desparete" pile and found some that I really could make the flavor more to my taste.

I have been a craft Vapery subscriber for two months and I can't say enough good about them. I have not randomly been able to order juice and like new flavors and enjoy half the bottles yet craft Vapery has sent 13 bottles completely different and I loved almost all of them and liked the rest. Fadora is the only juice vendor I can order from and know I'll like it, I'm picky. A lot of the juice CV sends I wouldn't buy because of the retail cost unless I already knew I liked it. I got 7 bottles in my box this month. I've emailed them twice and had personal replies within 10 minutes both times. I'm working on a full review, I waited so I could make sure the first box wasn't a fluke. And to my surprise it wasn't, my second box was even better.

Nautilus flooding?
charliestheman replied to jasonculp's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
Mine only floods when I have it in a box on its side like on the way to work, or in my pocket. It's real easy to clear by putting a paper towel over the drip tip and popping my wrist a couple times, like casting a fishing rod but only the flicking part. Also packing snuff resembles the motion but it's much slower with an atomizer. Try that instead of pulling and washing the coil, it only takes a second and Maybe a drop or twos equivalent is what goes on the paper towel. I can use Nautilus coils a long time before washing, I haven't washed them more than about twice and then replaced them but that's with all day vaping for a week or something before I wash them. I always wash because I'm changing flavors, haven't ever just had one need washing for good taste although eventually I know they would need it if I wasn't replacing them. -
Anyone planning on attending the Vape Blast 2014 2.0 Vape Convention & Expo in August? http://vapeblast.com/ I'm checking into prices and such, I hate to spend a bunch of money and then find out there's something way better right around the corner. VT members attending would be a big plus for me, so wanted to see if anyone was thinking about it.

Here's some great starter kits for people that you aren't sure if they will stick with it, and they can always upgrade as long as whatever starter kit that it is has regular ego threads. I'd try it next time I order for $7.50 https://www.vapingwalrus.com/starter-kits/black-1100mah-ego-starter-kit.html I bought some REALLY nice evod starter kids from originvapes for $12.00 but they werre sold out on most of the tanks and batteries when I went to get more. You could choose what color, and if you wanted like an Evod, C4 clearomizer, protank mini 2, or protank mini 3 plus they had some brands of clearomizers I wasn't particularly familiar with. https://www.completevape.com/innokin-itaste-leo-pro-starter-kit-2 That's $23 with free shipping, comes with the battery, 5 tanks, mini USB charger with passthrough built it, and the build quality and packaging are all nice. Even the included charger plug is nice. Also the Innokin Leo kit is authentic from what they say about being a dealer and from what all I can see. The origin EVOD kit was only tank and battery and ego USB adapter (no wall plug). It was advertised and shown clearly in the description as a clone which is good I think. That way as long as people read the description they know what they are getting. The vapingwalrus.com sells cloned mods so I assume the $7.50 kit is a clone.

Yeap use the same coil for similar flavors, berry, coffee, desserts etc. To clean them, soak them in 91% alcohol or white vodka an hour or two (it surprised me how many people have vodka in bulk and not running alcohol, guess with my OCD I consider rubbing alcohol a staple and everyone else considers vodka a staple). Rinse really good with water, I mean REALLY good, and then let the coils dry 24 hours or however long it takes.

Bump when you get something in vape mail.
charliestheman replied to Tam's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Today's Vapemail - 30 Clearomizers I don't even use clearomizers but... They were on sale I think I gave 14.99 then got some percents off and free shipping, ended up at a dollar and some change. -
I was gonna post some pics, till I saw how good all the other ones look lol. I'm having heck getting my phone to shoot good coils, but I haven't been shooting wicked which may help. When I build a really pretty set of coils I'm thinking about wanting to feel that lung hit, not getting out the DSLR. What are you guys shooting with?

Teens being tempted into smoking analogs by using e-cigs?
charliestheman replied to Patricia's topic in General Vape News
The 14 year old did mention smoke tricks on vine, so I loaded up the biggest throat hit I've found, a big ole hot burning throat hit with 24 mg juice and said "here, but don't stop till the tanks gone." She was scared, didn't want none of the 91 son! I was hoping she would turn green and barf like in the Nick @ Nite reruns back before they went to all this "in color" crap they're playing now. When she burps I do random sniff tests to make sure it doesn't smell like watermelon just in case. -

Easy Peasy what a steeze man that's a nice combo. I'm wanting a Zenith too, aren't the posts in that thing a beast? -
I'm in the MVP camp. It's hard to go wrong with an MVP 2.0 to start with, and maybe a Vision Spinner or something for the ultra stealthy times. I'm one of those people that carries a box mod every day and I find it ultra portable. When I was working out in the fab yard every day and operating heavy equipment, lots of climbing etc, the MVP was the way to go for me. The Innokin VTR is more durable, but also heavier and more expensive. I decided I'd rather use an MVP and replace it if there was a catastrophe and get a new one, than to only have one VTR. If they were the sam,e price I might would reconsider, may still have to choose the MVP but I would be weighing different pros and cons. I got this one for 39.99 http://101vape.com/variable-voltagewattage-devices/148-innokin-itaste-mvp-v20.html

Thoughts on vaping around children?
charliestheman replied to LOSTSOUL VAPORZ's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Lol you're right about that Earthling. Gotta love the types that will gripe just to hear themselves talk. I learned on our first camping trip, as long as its a "mom's allowed" scouting weekend, the woman whose opinion matters is the one that sleeps next to me. But I do want to be in regulation by the book so I'm glad to know that. FYI, I still haven't heard the end of how hard the ground was when I made her leave the air mattress at home so our boy wasn't a wimp. Next time, I'll bring a dang motor home if she requests it. Every fight we get in ends in "I'm cranky because of my arthritis I have because of YOU not letting me have an air mattress on that camping trip. And NO don't say it's softball. And get your damn juice off my shelf." -
Thoughts on vaping around children?

Kind of secretly, this was one of the reasons I started vaping actually, a sort of catalyst. We went on the Cub Scout district "Cub-o-ree" (not sure of spelling) and I didn't know about the no tobacco policy. Many years ago, when I was a boy scout, my scout leader was a smoker and smoked black and mild knock off cigars, forget the name, and they were probably around before black and milds. Anyway, I got in big trouble for lighting up on the hiking trail. No kids were around, I didn't want to smoke in front of them, but didn't know it was no smoking, even around adults, just was being courteous. By the end of the cub jamboree weekend, we had gotten to know a lot of the other parents and scout leaders, and I was asked if I would help lead the pack this coming year. I thought about it and said I wouldn't in official duty but would still work and help out just as much, just without the title. The sole reason for this was because of my smoking, having learned it wasn't allowed at all at the district events. So that being said, you guys are able to vape with the other people around knowing and they aren't pitching immortal fits about it? That's great news. I know every place, troop, district, and bunch of people is different, but it gives me hope at least. -

I vape around the kids, I used to miss out on a lot when I was outside smoking, but now I vape right there with them. In the car, on short trips I don't chain vape just to cloud chase or anything, and I have to crack the window too so I can see out. I go eat lunch twice a week at school with my kids and do smoke tricks in the cafeteria. OK The last sentence was totally made up, scared ya though -

You won juice? That is so not fair. Especially after staring at the dang fadora welcome screen until my eyes bled trying to find the hint, before it was posted lol I caught these on the half price clearance sale at MFS I forgot I had bought them and then got unexpected vape mail, then I opened it and was a little disappointed it wasn't something to play with. -
I did quite a bit of research on this Thursday (slow day at work and I worked late because my girl was there working late) I don't feel good enough about it yet to convince others it's safe but I feel good enough after talking with some chemists to feel safe trying it for myself. If anyone does their research and wants to try it and is in the US, PM me and I'll mail you some to try. I just bought 500 feet and will share with at least the first five.

I have tasted the strawberry kiwi and it's ok. Killer juice were running a special for like a day or two where these three flavors were .99 cents with a max of five per flavor I believe. It was a "take it like it's made" type sale and the flavor additive or ratio wasn't selectable just the nic content. It didn't wow me, it was pretty good and vapable for me in A protank when I built my first micro coil protank rebuild with cotton. I felt like it was bland, the option to add flavoring would have been well worth it and might have made it better. In summary, for the people I gave donated starter setups too or bought 10 to 20 dollar evod type setups for, the 99 cent juice is AWESOME because I bought different nic strengths and flavor and started a donate shelf and put some back for the apocalypse. It's like asking if ramen noodles are worth 87 cents while I'm eating steak at outback that's only $10 out the door. I like ramen noodles and they serve the purpose, but It's nothing to write home about. the bottles are awesome, they are like a nipple/needle hybrid but all plastic and molded in one. PERFECT for pro tanks or Kayfun Lite style tanks. I'll be emptying some of these into a large bottle to use these pointy tip bottles for my Kayfun Lite carry about spare bottle since I won't need a needle tip or blow out orings from too much pressure (did that last week after seeing someone on YouTube fill without a needle, bad idea lol.) -

Got a starter kit for a guy at work (Innokin Leo, WELL worth the $24 with a battery w/ USB pass through, charger, and 5 Innokin iClear 16 tanks) Some juice I bought for the same guy and a woman we bought an Evod knockoff starter kit for (thanks fishy). I got it on sale for $2 a bottle and I have a shelf at work for the people I'm getting started vaping for. I can't give out fadora In different flavors and strengths like I can $1 & $2 sale juice to use to figure out what they like. I'm too selfish to share a whole fadora bottle. Can't remember if I posted this but it's the $0.99 a bottle juice that started the newbie shelf. I also have cartos loaded for them to taste Fadora. I just don't send em each free bottle (sorry comp, when I win the lottery I will I promise) And you'll notice the Trident V2 his and hers drippers up there. Jennifer's dripping Fadora Birthday Cake tonight, she's been vaping buttered popcorn the last few days, all 0 nic. -
This video has the standard micro coil build in the first half and chimney build in the second half, he vapes and compares the builds. One thing I like about Rip is he's good at explaining a coils performance and how it vapes. The juice makes things a little subjective, where he might say it's the most flavorful vape ever, but if someone builds it and has juice that doesn't have much flavor, it wont be the same, but I find his stuff is spot on as long as the juice i'm using is decent, he tends to do his builds and reviews with juice that's middle of the road so it's similar to the experience of most people. I built his double barrel coil saturday, it hits really hard but the flavor isn't as good as a standard microcoil for me, but I have only built that one setup and improving my wicking might also change the flavor properties of the build. Overall, it's one of the biggest, most dense vapes I've had on the kayfun, I'm just not sure if the flavors quite as bold as the microcoil because of how much vapor I get in one hit. Also with sweet juices, it tends to be "filling" when I chain vape, then I burp watermelon.

I'm that way too, I went from not noticing to hyper sensitive. When they guy I used to take smoke breaks with walks in my office it almost knocks me down it's so strong. I'm with you totally about it having to be a couples thing. I'm an all or none kind of guy though.

Mines the opposite, she's not a smoker and she's vaping zero nic and only because I put my foot down (it really means she just hasn't felt like fighting it because we guys all know who runs things). I spent all this time convincing her that nicotine wasn't as bad for us as the mass media makes it sound, and now I'm trying to tell her why she shouldn't start vaping nicotine for a hobby. It's like convincing someone to drink the cool aid then fussing at them after they get a swig.

Welcome to vapor talk. It's a great lil community. There's quite a few members from the Southeast and I know some from Georgia. Heck I'm about to move to Albany. I don't have a vape store in 100 miles!
