    I am mixing 12 & 18 on my tobacco flavor and 18 on my other flavors. When these run low I will switch to 12.

    I've been using 2.4 and plan on switching to 1.8 or 1.6 this weekend. Those will be my day vape's and I have already been using 0.6 at night(I tend to vape too much so I droped my level once I get home).

    I'll pass on all my used/unused 2.4 to a mate thats just starting out. He's still smoking but trying to wee off them with the vape units I already passed on to him. Paying it forward as they say. ;) I also bought a round of 0.6 mill samples for the guy thats been passing on flavors to me. I owe him one and felt I should repay for his favor.

    I just got my order in from Mt Baker Vapor and the Blu backo is rather interesting. Its a light tobacco flavor mixed with a hint blue berry. I should have got a lower nic level as this is pretty good stuff. I'll have to send out another order. Also got some Morning Vape that is also pretty decent. The are on sale and all USA made. I mean really cheap so I didn't expect much but they are some of the best I have tried so far. Reasonable shipping too FYI to those looking for a deal. Most I paid was $7.00 for a 30 mil bottle the 15 mils were less than $4.00.

    I haven't been using anything higher than 0.6 in the nano. I haven't opened my mini yet. I'm still working on dialing the nano. Guess I need to get used to the amount of vapor it produces. So used to the little the cig alikes produce, The nano has been making me cough. So I am mostly using my Nautilus and Nautilus mini. Along with my Genitank These are doing more than enough. All these are on low does nic as I mostly vape these at home.

    I only use the higher stuff in the travel gear which is the mini/ego tanks I just purchased to replace my cig alikes.

    I ordered some Silverthorn Menthol to try out from Johnson creek.
    Good reviews and sounds like I might like it

    Wow, those are some great prices. I just found another shop really close to me that I didn't know was there. Stopped there last night and was impressed with the selection they had on hand. They turned me on to a banana/strawberry cream flavor made by Tasty Cloud called The Goods. So far I haven't been very fond of the fruity flavors as much as the tobacco flavors, but I will say this new one is now my favorite. The problem with this place is that they are high priced compared to other shops or online. They charged me $12 for the 15ml but I went with it anyway as I was getting low on juice. I will check out the Mt Baker stuff in the future for sure ! Nice job on passing some stuff to your buddy to help him out towards quitting the smokes.

    Absolutely! Prompt shipment too. I'll be using them again real soon!! Gonna try their samples of their desert line. The free 5 ml samples they sent are very good as well. The cinni-toast is really addicting!! Its a good thing its zero nic or I'd be all loopy from tooting it!!

    Edit: They also have a pretty decent sale on hardware going on too! I got a protank mini II and a Aspire K1 for decent prices. I would have bought more, But the wife was giving me the evil eye. I have spent a bit on gear and juice lately! But I'm still under half what I would have spent for a year smoking. So as long as I stay on the wagon I'm a head on this!! :whistle:

    Put in another order to Mt Baker vapor. Getting another sampler, This time I'm trying the sweet flavors. I also got some of the eastern tobacco as it was on sale. Less than $5.00 for a 15ml bottle. Some of the others flavors are so cheat, Its hard to imagine they are making anything on them. I saw one for under $3 bucks.

    Also getting another genitank as they are on sale. I shouldn't need any hardware for another 2 plus years. Looking into doing my own coils. I got an order into Lightning vapes for some Kanthal and cotton. Should be fun to tinker.

    I like the RTA they came with the subtank, allows me to tinker. I also have the safety net of the fabbed could which work amazing by themselves.

    Still trying to get used to the subtank nano. So far I really liked the Kanger tanks with the sub ohm coils. I have all of mine setup with the 0.8 ohm coils. I was told that re vamping them with cotton will really improve the flavor and vapor. I been watching vids on youtube and it looks rather easy. Can't wait to try.

    Been using the nano as the urge/craving fighter. A couple a toots off that kills them quickly.

    Edit: Don't try this with an ego type battery. I made a big booboo and put one in a mini tank to use with my mini mod. Forgot about it, Stuck the tank on an ego and about poofed my ego battery. Playing with sub ohm coils can be tricky!!

    Got to get another mini mod and ditch these ego batteries.

    WooHoo,

    Made my first coil. And the best part is it works too. I almost :faint:

    I successfully built a 1.2 ohm and then a 0.8 ohm. I used the Japanese organic cotton and the 28 ga Kanthal. 1st one was 7 wraps and the second was 6. They both work and no gurgles or leaking(so far). I've still got some thin juice to try, But the 70/30 is working nice.

    I love the taste the cotton wick lets through. The silica wicks work fine for me, But this cotton is the bomb. The vapor is also much better. Not sub tank clouds mind you but much more than the standard coils produce. Plus the cost is pennies compared to buying new coils.

    Started easy first. Just a simple single coil to get things started. Kangar protank 1.

    I'm gonna try a Single oval coil in the Kangar V2 dual coil housing next. Not sure I really need to venture into dual coils with the cotton, The subtanks are single coils and perform outstanding.
