The hype is (not so) real!

[Mr. B]

i thought of one more, and this one is going to be controversial, SQUONKING.
tried it, don't think its worth all the effort.
you have to carry around your bottle of juice anyways, coz you blow through juice the way you would dripping.
now, you have to fill that 8ml bottle, with a chubby gorilla.... drippy drippy takes for freaking ever.
then, theres always the chance of something messing, and you have to wipe juice up with your t-shirt.

i even converted my Fuchai squonk into a plain old dripper Mod.

I also tried squonking. Bought the pulse and after a week just gave up and traded it with a forum member.

Squonking is making a huge comeback but I just can't get behind it

The vaping hype in general for me.

I thought you go to the shop, get a cheapish mod with a strawberry cream juice and off you go.

Boy was I wrong.

 

[Mr. B]

I hear you
I sometimes get an itch to get something new - just to test it out.
I will admit that @Rob Fisher often tempts me with his posts of the latest and greatest gear.
And its funny, I can feel myself being drawn in. And despite me saying, nah, my current gear good enough - there is something that makes me want to get it.

I have subsequently learnt that when I get that "itch" - I must just satisfy it - rather than try fight it. And hope that the next "itch" takes a while.

I have been relatively itch free the past month or two but I feel it coming on again.... lol

I know that itch! I've been itching for an authentic broadside since December and got one last month.

Now I'm itching for an authentic CONSVR and I hope I don't find one in the classifieds!

I’m so with @Petrus I really can’t handle tanks anymore. It’s only single and dual coil drippers for me with the exception of my mtl tank. That one works always. I’d rather drip then deal with the pain of building and wicking a tank. The wake rta. Lasted half a tank for me. Couldn’t b bothered

I disagree to a certain extent the Aromamizer line bridged the gap the pure ergonomics obviously is a factor but we are moving closer and closer to RTAs being close flavor wise with RDAs it's all about preference and astetics these days.... (He typed while vaping on his Drop RDA )

 

[Carnival]

What’s this RTA hating

For me, I started with RDAs. Then I ventured into RTAs (despite my apprehension about them) and I actually prefer them now.

Paulies Coffee Cake - it was one of the Pastry winners at last year's VapeCon, if I'm not mistaken, but I don't why. Nothing wrong with it - just nothing to write home about either.

I've had plenty leaky finicky tanks @Scouse45 so I know exactly what you are saying. Nothing more frustrating than trying to figure out how to stop gurgling or leaking etc.

However I must say that the Skyline has behaved impeccably
So too the Kayfun V5
And let me not forget to mention the old Subtank Mini with its RBA base

Not big vapes, these are all tame restricted lung for me. Maybe that's why they behave for me?

@Hooked - If I recall you were vaping it on a lowish power commercial coil setup.
I think Paulie's Coffee Cake needs much more power and airflow to get to its best.
I hear you because I tried it on a lowish power setup and it was average. But when I put it in a bigger rig it came to life and was fantastic. Pity I don't vape much like that - but I did like it a lot.

Bought a bottle last month ( chubby gorilla bottle ).... I think the recipe might of changed or the concentrates got reformulated because it definitely ain't the same as the one I bought last year (all day vape type bottle )

@Silver I was vaping it on iJust S with a 0.5 coil. I think I still have the bottle in my "to be adjusted box". I'll try it on the Twisp Mini Vega and Eleaf Basal, both of which have VW. But I hear you - the better the rig, the better the flavour.

No, it's not so much the better the rig - more about the bigger power and airflow.
Nothing wrong with the lower power lower airflow setups - I use them most of the time - but they need certain types of juices.

I find that some juices, especially the thicker ones and ones with less flavour in them only shine when you have more airflow and power. And typically on RDAs with custom coils.

I shamelessly laugh when people mention "e- cigarettes are cheaper the cigarettes"

the solo rda...most over hyped piece of #$%£

 

[Resistance]

cotton has got me confused aswell.what's wrong with normal cotton.is it for convenience because i got more dry hits and burnt coils and odd tastes with fancy named cotton

 

[Petrus]

Petrus have you tried a Skyline?

Blitzen and Bravo were major disappointments for me.
The Leo RTA which was a high end RTA was also crap.
The Vapor Giant V5 - I love my V4's and jumped at the V5 the second it was available... the V5 is gathering dust.

In fact @Rob Fisher , I was planning on getting a Skyline, but geez, I really don't know .

Yip some juices do need more power to get better flavour. One juice that comes to mind that was like this is NCV - Milked

And NCV - Strawb.

 

[Paul33]

With your "owners" blessing of course, I'm in two minds as to whether I must just pull the trigger and win the jackpot, or wait a while.

The owner will have to buy it for my birthday so no blessing needed

 

[Clouds4Days]

And NCV - Strawb.

Yeah NCV Strawb shines at higher watts too but i still got decent flavour at lower watts but Milked tastes like plain fat free Milk at lower watts so basically tastes like water.

Expensive water

One of the worst RDA i have used to date bud.

 

[Huffapuff]

Some duds for me were the Serpent mini 22, the Petri RTA (what a pain to coil and wick, way overly complicated), FLV Mango (just tastes like under ripe mango to me) and any strawberry recipe.

 

[method1]

Most overhyped for me is the Hadaly
