Needs more of something. But I want to let it sit a couple of days before deciding. Even my "shake and vape" mixes smooth out and change over a few days. My orange cotton candy got sweeter and tastes more like a soft orange creamsickle. I still like it though.

after years of making my own, i do not believe in shake and vape. i will not use any of my mix untill it has steeped for 1 week. tobacco mixes 3 weeks.

Just wanted to say I miss you.

I came down with Covid 19 and double phenomena as a result of it, it hit me very bad for a few weeks but I am back to full steam now, love you Snap, thanks for thinking of me.

Very happy with this setup. Hits better than the Geekvape L200, not sure why. Coils consistently read slightly lower resistance in the GV.

The Rabbit is going real nice as well. I only switched because I was tasting some DIY chocolate mix....and the flavor doesn't want to leave! Watermelon/choco! LOL.

I never tried dripping that Rabbit, but loved that lil guy for squonking. If you end up trying squonking, I would definitely recommend putting the bf pin in it and giving it a try.
Edit: Yeah, chocolate gonna kill watermelon for a good long time, lol

If you turn the af down a tad more on that to just about 1/2, should notice a pretty decent up tick in flavor 👍🏻

Dripping it is fun because of the single coil, I get right on it. But it wicks up fine otherwise. Hell yeah, I'll definitely get a squonk at some point! But my next device is gonna be this with the RBA and the 510 adapter. Maybe the 21700 version, not sure yet.

Nice! If you get around to wanting a mech squonk, let me know. Could definitely help out. For whatever reason not many regulated squonks here though.

I appreciate that. :D I want to learn more about mechs. I understand a bit, but I want to fully understand more about power first. It's difficult for me to grasp how one controls the situation with just batteries and coils. I mean, I get the basics of it. But it seems to me like you can only vape a very low resistance coil with it, and if that's off, then what? You can't change anything with a power setting. Like...wouldn't a .25 build and a .15 build just simply not be interchangable? I'm imagining one must find the match beforehand. I only have 2 kinds of batteries so far, Molicels and 25r's.

I'll let someone who can explain it a lot better than me field that one, lol. But no, you do not HAVE to use a super low build on a mech. A high build (1.0 and above) does give a rather weak vape, imho. But the pic I posted above is a .65 build being used on a mech, and a fantastic vape, again imho. That being said, I also love a very low build on an rda with a lot more air flow than that one on a mech. Also yes, there is no adjusting. You are going to get what the battery has to give dictated by the power your build draws, if that makes sense?

Yeah, that does make sense. But I guess where I'm confused is that I'm often jumping around the wattages depending on how warm or cold the tank and juice get. Just a bit, but it makes a difference when on the edge. 2-4 watts. I guess you gotta control it with your pull...guessing. Do a little cold puff, then a real puff. I'm guessing.

OMG Bob- sorry to read that you have been so very ill ,but glad you are feeling much better now-
I started to miss you and worry when I hadn't seen you in a while. Love you too my friend and thanks for letting me know what happened and hope to see you posting here again.
Are you still doing reviews? I know must be awful trying to get products to test with this US vape shipping ban.

I think I'm starting to understand a bit more, through a different discovery I just made. My Innokin has a variable voltage mode, and OMG, I freakin' LOVE it!

This possibly helps answer why the GV seems to give me a bit of difficulty with RDA's. I mean, I get it to work good, but it feels fiddly sometimes. Too much voltage.....mods regulate the voltage when we change wattage, and as the batteries get used. But I think the GV algorithm is trying too hard and/or giving me more voltage than I want, or is inconsistent in some way about how it regulates it. At least for ME.

The Innokin shockingly smoothed out any RDA I put on it when in variable voltage mode. SUPER smooth, like finer vapor. And beautiful taste and proper vapor temperature, and easier to dial in. It should not make a difference, but I think it really depends on the regulation. This is a revelation in my understanding.

Unfortunately the GV doesn't have variable voltage. It has a bypass but that's exactly what I don't want. I want the regulation to keep it at 3.6 or 3.7. Of course...I could be all wrong, lol, but damn if I'm not enjoying the hell out of it right now.

Does the GV have a voltage read out though? As in, set your wattage, press the fire, and see if it tells you the voltage applied. Maybe you have your watts set on that one to apply a higher voltage than you prefer?

It flashes the voltage. But I honestly think it's inaccurate. When I switch the same tank on the Innokin with VV it's better, even my RTA. But yes, the voltage flash does change depending on wattage. I think it's just totally different regulation algorithms.

I'm flavor tasting tonight, so I like to have a Goon and Kennedy going for sure, and like to taste test in series as well. So, Unholy on the Goat, OG Goon on Overlord, Kennedy 25 on B2B, and AS mini on the Sceptre. None of these new mixes have screamed love to me, but none have sucked either, so there is that, lol

I have over 75 mods- I only have a few out that I use, don't want to clutter the counter- soon, others will be rotated in.
Sub Tanks,RDAs, RDTAs, RTAs- too many to count
Factory coils, premade coils- lots of them too
I have been vaping for 7 years- gave me time to build my collections

how many vapes do you have?
Click to expand...

Are you asking me? If so, I'd guess the count is somewhere near 85 mods and maybe 100 to 110 atomizers. Some of them are packed away, but I have 40 setups on the table next to me that are loaded and ready to go except for batteries. There are another dozen setups in the bedroom. I no longer keep batteries in all of them - used to, but it occurred to me one day that if one battery vented, we'd have a fire in here that would take the whole place down to the ground. I removed a bunch of batteries and put them in a fireproof, blastproof zipper bag.

Like Snap said, I've been vaping a long time, too. Did a lot of my shopping after items had been out for a while and ended up at good prices in clearance sections. I do have a few mods that I spent some money on, a Centaurus, a couple of Squid Detonators and a decent number of good atomizers, but most of my stuff I got when prices were really good. Can't count on doing that any more, though, unfortunately.
