What did you do today that is vape related?
- Thread starter CJ-3
- Start date
I just finished making a 60ml bottle of my menthol juice.
I read the HHS release of the new guidance and lamented for the Pod People.
Yea but at least it's a more reasonable approach. The pods are the main issue with the kids, concealment + high nic (don't think they give a fuck about what flavor it is tbh). It does suck for adults who use pods or prefer them. Personally I think they suck, I loathe the whole pod thing from top to bottom and feel they could go fuck off over there someplace. But I get it's easier for some adults, less fiddling, easier to tuck a stick or pod into a suit pocket than an aegis legend with a brunhilde lmao. Then again when most of this b.s. comes up and I find adult in general suffering because of kids, 9x out of 10 I feel the simplest solution is just to ban kids. (shrugs). lol
Checked tracking. Topside lite may be here today. Well it says today but didn't make the 230am shuttle bus to my town so it may still be tomorrow. When you've ordered so much stuff you can base the arrival on what time it hits certain terminals. Lmao
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Topside Lite!
i do the same thing
I read a good review from pizzadave80 here last night. And I think @f1r3b1rd has one also. So I'm definitely hopeful.
Ordering more 60ml bottles to make more juices and ordering more flavors for more options.

Glad to see you picked one up!
I'm curious to compare thoughts on it.
Personally, its the most practical mod I own...
Lite(pun intended), all day battery, all day juice capacity, and does what it says ir will do.
I dont think it's very attractive mind you, but I don't take it to bed so we're good there.
A more favorable approach for 5 months...
or less.

Just a recommendation, I bet you'd love HIC's Pink Bubble Gum recipe. It's in the recipes thread.
Here's the link:
http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-pink-bubble-gum.18233/
That thread is also a great read for anyone learning DIY.

Oh no! Oh I had no idea, I'm so sorry.
I thought I'd read of you vaping bubble gum flavors before, so you might want to be aware that they probably do have cinnamon in them.
What I did that's vape related so far: ordered just a few flavors from BCF and another 240ml bottle of nic from LNW.
Squid Industries Squad AIO, RBA version, is supposed to be in my mailbox this afternoon. Yay, can't wait!

Those are some gorgeous colors, really nice. I've gotten mine to color up sometimes, but not quite that nice and even. Just wish they'd stay that color lol.
Tip: scrub with a toothbrush and dish soap...pulse at 30 watts...watch them color...but yes...wont stay after getting hot spots out...pic purposes

Yea I've had them color, just not as pretty as yours. And yea it's sad it's only temporary. Plus you have a much nicer camera than I do, as fuzzy as this is that's about as 'macro' as I can get with a cheap cell camera.Tip: scrub with a toothbrush and dish soap...pulse at 30 watts...watch them color...but yes...wont stay after getting hot spots out...pic purposes

I got a text and email that my order for the Aegis Legend from 8 Vape is out for delivery. Strange thing is I also did a second order the day I ordered the Legend and it still shows as paid and unfulfilled. I know they are busy with all the sales and will wait until next week to see if anything changes or I'll just cancel the order and let my credit card know about the billing. Also got an email from Nic River that my liter of nicotine has shipped.

I can just about guarantee you that if you e-mail them about cancelling the order, it will be shipped the next day and you won't hear a peep from Eightvape. They've done that to me twice now. Pissed me off good both times. If their prices hadn't been just obscenely good, I wouldn't have ordered from them again after the first time they did it.
What I've done that was vape related: Last night got my hands on the Squid Squad AIO. I was over the moon until I went to take the RTA tank apart to build it and the glass fell off in my hand when I unscrewed the base. Not broken, understand, but there's no way you'd be able to work on the coil while there is juice in the tank. I hate that. HATE it. But I built the RTA anyway, juiced it up and went to vaping. Got watts to 25, DRY HIT. Bumped it down to 22, semi-dry hit. Bumped it down to 20, ok, vaped for about 10 minutes, DRY HIT. Put the thing down and went to bed.
This morning, watts at 17.5, vaped for about 10 minutes, you guessed it. So here we go, trying to get this fucking tank apart without getting juice all over myself and everything around me, managed to get part of it back into the bottle it came from, and the rest was on my hands and the outside of the tank. After sopping up two tissues full of juice, got the tank apart, thinned the wicks and put everything back together. Put maybe 3/4 of a ml of juice in the tank and I'm going easy now to see if it's going to dry hit again. At 17.5, so far, so good. If this doesn't dry hit, I'll inch it up some, because I think flavor is going to be best at about 22 watts.
Wicking these tiny tanks and RBAs is a whole different thing from the building I've been doing up till now. Have to get it through my head that less is more.
Except for the way the tank is made, build quality on the Squad is really, really good. Flavor is good on the tank when it's wicking like it should. Battery is draining slowly, looks like battery life will be more than adequate. Draw is quite a restricted DL with airflow about halfway open. When I first fired it up and it was drawing right, with air open all the way, I clouded up the living room with about five hits. Good vapor production.
I should note that this tank has a fill port on the top that is covered by a silicone flap with a plug in it. For normal vaping and filling, the tank construction shouldn't be much of an issue, it's just a pet peeve of mine and IS an issue when you're first trying to get the build right.
Also built the latest Elder Dragon with a staged N80 coil that came out to 0.26 ohms. Going to save this RDA to use on a gunmetal Athena squonker.
ETA: After I ordered the Squad unit the other day I learned that the regular tank can use Aspire-BVC-compatible coils, like the iJoy Mercury and the Artery Pal series. This may mean the Artery RBA would fit in it. Would be a good alternative for someone wanting a tigher MTL draw on this device.
Also have been pondering the possibility, now that there are other coils and RBAs for it, of pulling out one of my Aspire Vivi Novas (the glass-lined version). Might be interesting. Those iJoy 1.0 ohm mesh coils are pretty darn good.

Interesting. I've done a bunch of orders with them and never had this happen before. When you say email them, do you mean that I need to log into my account there and cancel the order? There is a link on there to do that. I don't really want to cancel it, I want what I ordered to ship. If that would get it to ship, I will do that.

If you don't mind waiting, I'd just wait, unless it gets absolutely ridiculous and you don't care if they do cancel the order. I was to that point when I e-mailed them.
I clicked the link to Edit/Cancel my order, and it told me that the order was already "processing" and couldn't be cancelled online. I believe the address I emailed was [email protected]. Include the order number, of course.
As sure as I tell you for sure that they'll ship if you tell them to cancel, they won't, and you'll end up not getting stuff that you really do want. Don't want that to happen to you.
Just give them a chance to catch up. I placed 5 different orders with them a little over a week ago.
I received my 4th order today with only 1 more to go and it shows it just hit the Vegas PO. And it's actually the 2nd order i made that i'm waiting on.
So they didn't ship them in sequence.
I've dealt with these folks for 2 years and never had a problem. Just have to give them a little time as i'm sure it's chaos in that shipping Dept.

Cleaned a few more attys, charged some batteries, a few more SFTs, mixed HC&C with the new TFA Vanilla custard II, mixed a few other experiments and ordered 2 flavors from VSO....red raspberry and pumpkin....looking for that perfect pumpkin. Nothing has worked for me. I have high hopes.....
I made two orders with them, and only the second one is listed as shipped. I don’t want to open a ticket yet, but it’s kinda strange since the first order was placed on 11/28.
. and idk if it even shipped.

I'm sorry. I forgot. Please check your PMs in a few.
Yeah I will give them a bit more time. I've never had any issues with them either thus far. It's only a juice order that was a buy one get one that I want to try. I really hope they ship it before I decide if I should cancel the order or not.
Ironically I just checked my mail, and I got something from them saying that my first order was shipped!
I stocked up on a few Freemax tanks and coils. So I ended up with four boxes of coils and two tanks for @$35. Considering that I bought 12 boxes of coils at @$10 each from Element, it was a good deal!

You FEELMe bro? lol.
Not too much vape related, stalked the river supply order. Not that I'm that impatient but after recent orders and people saying it's taken forever for them to get out I was curious. Not too bad, placed the order on Jan 1st (no one there). They created the shipping label the 2nd, usps accepted it the 3rd. Arrived at the main mail depot in my state this morning. Supposed to be here Tues, if they get it to my local PO early enough I may see it Monday. If it hits Monday closer to mid morning or afternoon then it'll be Tues. Not bad considering the holiday craze and the sale. Last time they dicked my order up several times so interesting to see how this pans out. lol.
Tried to help offer some suggestions to someone on reddit. Got called an asshole for suggesting they use only a few of the 12 diy juice flavors they listed instead of trying to use all 12. So told them to fuck off then. This is after they complained they couldn't post in the diy juice subreddit and had been shadow banned. I said gee, big surprise, then got accused and told to go back to ECF. lmfao. Told them no clue, never been part of ECF. Suggested they get therapy. Had a vape, had a laugh. Still feel I gave them solid advice.

I agree with you too about Reddit-
I used to post there, but way too many snarky people over there!
Cleaned and wicked my QP Kali clone and noticed the top cap is full of cracks... it's literally crumbling in my hand... I'm quite gentle with this and always keep it clean and out of harm's way. Good thing I have another top cap for it as this is one of my favorite rdas at the moment.
