It sounds like my first DIY temp control coil attempt. I had gotten completely ahead of myself, and hadn't at all primed the coil properly. I had also wicked way too tightly. I was getting quite respectable but very wispy clouds, and almost no flavour whatsoever. Obviously the temp control kept...
That's like comparing a Ford Figo to a Ranger; they're in different leagues. The one's not necessarily better or worse - although Smok isn't well regarded in many circles - but it's not an easy question to answer without some context.
The Blade is a lot more powerful and versatile, but as has...
Restock on Choffee, and some Kiwi Cheesecake and Blueberry Glazed Doughnut that I can hopefully actually bring myself to let sit a couple of days before I succumb to curiosity again. Also a 20ml Strawberry Cream tester for a colleague. All at 30/70. If the last one turns out alright, maybe...
I'm happy at #9, with the addition of mixing own juice as well. Don't see myself moving beyond that; can't be bothered to drip every few drags, the squonk bottles look silly to me, and mechs don't interest me in the least. I'm much happier getting temp control sussed out than I'd ever be...
I... I have a problem. My first few DIY attempts should still be in the back of the cupboard, but the Choffee is finished, the RY4 mix is half way, the Guava and Cactus is down to about a third, and the strawberry/dragonfruit/cream... thing... isn't great.
Chucked some Strawberry (Ripe), some...
My 2c: Mechs are scary. I get that some find their simplicity and hard hitting character appealing, but if things go pear shaped you're carrying a volatile firework at best and a pipe bomb at worst on your person. I don't think it'd work as a backup if you're not specifically into the mech...
So, here's an interesting experience...
As mentioned elsewhere today I had this jobbie wicked as per the much vaunted YouTube vids by Morten Oen, which is to say tighter than a clam with lockjaw. It worked fine, except that my first DIY juices really didn't have the lip smacking goodness I had...
Hope you're planning to mix by weight. Seeing the miniscule quantities some recipes call for, I can't imagine people getting anywhere close to the intended result unless they're mixing 25 gallon drums at a time. :--P
*edit*
Just to finish the thought, I meant to say that I can't see anyone...
I'm still riding the temp control hope train. It's such a boon when you want to switch flavours.
This wick has had about 4 tanks of @Paul33's Choffee and as many of a dark RY4 through it, but now I want to switch to something fruity. So, I vape as per normal until there's no more visible...
From what I've read it really doesn't seem to matter much. I speak as an expert with exactly one DIY batch under my belt, but it made sense to my mind to mix all the PG and PG-based goodies - flavourings, nicotine and the PG itself - together first, before glooping the VG in there. What...
Colleague got a Zeus before Easter, and I want to try the successful experiment I did yesterday on my SMM on it. 7 wrap parallel 26 ga SS316 coil wrapped around a T25 Torx key, which should give a 4.43mm internal diameter. Wicked in the recent Morten Oen style of wicking - very tight, no...
For me, that was the toughest part of adjusting to vaping. Your brain is wired such that you're used to talking as long as you inhaled not too long prior. Smoking doesn't influence your ability to talk (much) whilst exhaling smoke. Trying to do the same in the first few days and weeks of...
