I just started the process to trade for a mod I've been lusting after.. SMOK Guardian III Pipe Kit <---- I've been wanting one since I seen it but every where I go its sold out or pre-order. I now to find a tip that looks like a stem that will fit a Griffin.

Yes I am A pipe guy, and no I haven't found a good black cherry or cherry Cavendish e juice yet....

I want that thing badly, but not enough to justify getting it when I simply don't need it. I have a couple pipe like stems, this is my favorite: https://www.fasttech.com/p/2377308

A higher quality one would be nice, but the shape, flat tip and all, is just the best of the bunch. I have one of those Kamry pipe mods, just not nearly enough power but it is cool.

A few days ago I posted a recipe for Cherry-Vanilla Pipe Tobacco, if you have any interest in that -- in the recipes sub-forum. Got a new iteration of that I'm trying out, in which I included some INW Dirty Neutral Base, to see if that improves it any or gives it a more smoky taste. It'll be a few weeks till I'm ready to try it out.

Is it a separate thread, or did you post the recipe in an existing thread? I'd like to take at least, a look at it.

A separate thread... "Finally perfected my cherry-vanilla pipe tobacco" is the name of it, don't have a link handy, but you should see it in the recipes sub-forum. And though I do consider the posted recipe "perfected" -- it's very tasty! -- I still fiddle with it a little. For those that want something that's more tobacco-ish, something like the INW DNB might helpful (the latest iteration I'm trying out)... if that one doesn't suit me, I might try it with INW Virginia Tobacco Absolute. I tried an iteration with INW's Gold Ducat, but really didn't care for it; it had a sour-ish whang, like tobacco, but not really smoky. The dirty neutral base or VA TA might give it more of the smokiness I'm looking for. The Vanilla for Pipe plus Deluxe TDM doesn't make it very "smoky", though there's a *slight* mild tobacco taste.

I'll try to find it. I'm currently working on a tobacco, custard type of eJuice. I'm close to my goal, it just needs some fine tuning. BTW, I only have FA flavors, including the tobaccos.

The only Fa tobacco I tried was positively repulsive -- FA Virginia -- tasted like rotten celery after it sits in the crisper for months and liquefies! I don't really care for "straight tobacco" at all anymore, but for the sweet ones to use in multi-flavor mixes, I do like the INW tobaccos. And even the INW VA TA isn't overwhelming; it's mild like VA tobacco, but a bit smoky/ashy. (ETA: the INW Coffee Tobacco is SPOT ON!)

I've only bought one mod this year, but the RX200 has been a workhorse the last few months. I use it in my workshop all the time. It's been handled with oily hands, covered in sawdust and is still working fine. The shape also means it doesn't tip over easily. Works for me :)

Bought two squonkers from Kiwi, one 26650 and one 18650. You send the wood to Vaughan (Kiwi), he makes what you want.
o_O, wonder if he'd do the wordwork without making the full mod. I'd love to simply swap out some parts in wood. Like a well made wood noisy cricket or swapping the delrin in a Tres Equis for stabilized wood. It'd look sick. Both functioning perfectly still, and I love their design but getting something made out of a good piece of wood would (lol) be excellent.

Doh, again I say, I wish I still had access to a woodworking shop. Wouldn't be too hard to build a solid wood noisy Cricket. Just measure the bore size of a 18650, get some good SS threading inserts to secure in there. And then swap the additional parts after carving the outer case. It'd look SO nice too.

I hear ya man...wish I had my woodworking shop again....moving into the burbs downsizing kinda screwed up my shop plans.

Bought an IPV5 in late 2015, but as for best purchases of 2016 I would have to say.....I got a Griffin, diy coil kit and UD wire box, a scale and all the fixin's to make my own juice. I've been a regular mixaholic. And even got my hands on a Derringer, Lush and Succubus rda's. Been a good year so far and not even half over yet.

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

My Ysticks, got them at introductory price for $159, great price for a pretty unique sx350j v2 mod, side-by-side is also my favorite form factor.

Best purchase of the year, easy, my Boreas!

Both of them

Love how you switched the parts on the boreas. Looks badass. I might just have to order a ss boreas to do the same.

Year is not over yet but best purchase so far was Noisy Cricket and Moonshot. Simple to deal with, reliable and superb performance. Totally surpassed my expectations. Perfect combo as well.

Just got my Alleria. This thing is amazing. I SO recommend any coil builders getting this. Deck is a little smaller, but the vape and flavour production is phenomenal.

Okay. So I loaded up my cart at FT ALL weekend. Had over $1200 in there. Woke up and thought WTF did I do? Half of it was a mish-mosh of hardware crap that I didn't know if I really wanted it. Good thing I didn't order it all. Went through it again and got it down to just under $600. The week before I apparently OD'd on ejuice sales. I got 4 deliveries of over 700ml today. Most, duplicates, but I'm glad I finally found 'Butter'. The week before, 560ml.

HELP: I'm ready to binge on Mod, atty, tanks, coils..... I'm still going to sell my Sig Fuchai and TFV4. Just keep forgetting to list them. Anyway, I'd like my "Best of 2016" to rock. Any suggestions for someone still learning to build that wants RTAs and learn cool dual and triple builds? The wallet is open but I'd like bang for my buck. USB is a plus, but not required on all. I have a solar charger for 18650s.
HARDWARE SHOPPING! YAY!!! :bliss:

So far I'm thinking:
Wismec Reulaeux 200 - red/black (going to buy copper plates for black/copper) Will fit my Kanger 7ml 25mm.
Kanger Squonker (Dripbox) (I'll buy 15 pre-made RBA replacements but need to buy standard dual deck.
Dragon V2 VW looks really cool
NeBox?
Council of Vapor Mini Volt!!
Another K Subvod Starter. I'm impressed by that starter. Great flavor and vapor. Good for errands.
I keep a usb 10hr battery charger in my purse. I want my new tanks/RTAs to be flush with my mods.

I'm pretty much sticking with Kanger tanks for the flexibility of coils when needed but prefer a RBA in addition. I'm forcing myself to build but have NO idea on TC and other wire, other than Kanthal. (YouTube)
2 K-Pro Tanks
K-Top Tank
Any tanks with RDA only
RTAs
Sigelei Moonshot RDTA (That deck is wild. Will need to watch videos on how to build on it)
Boreas Black

Ordering Koh Gen Do 150 sheets
Wire, drip tips, 6 batteries (married for Wismec & replacements)
And yes. I'm preparing for the Jihad, so stocking up on EVERYTHING is critical. :bomb:
I'm anxious to put my order(s) in. Momma wants new toys!

Best Purchase was a small and stupid one. I bought the Plume Veil drip tip and put it on my Herakles. Its wider and shorter than the stock one and makes a HUGE difference.

Okay. Finally got most of my order Saturday. Still waiting on 4 mods. Got another order of 1,100 juice coming and got a full case of Cosmic Fog.

The Aromamizer. Finally a tank that DOESN'T LEAK! Building coils is easy and wicking even easier. It holds alot of liquid and it DOESN'T LEAK !
