It's in the food we eat every day. With the exception of nicotine.

That tells me NOTHING. Especially since our "food" companies are notorious for putting shit in our food. Heck, lot of it is not even food!

But you see, the problem is the PUBLIC. People that give these companies money and consume their shitty products.

There will ALWAYS be companies willing to make CRAP and sell it to you. As long as there is buyers.

These are not new ingredients, they have been around for ages and are considered safe

I think I'll order 15ml of stranilla and cookie. Are they good with shipping as standard or should I use priority?

They are very fast about packaging and shipping. I usually go priority for $5, but I'm sure you'll get it pretty quick anyways. I've tried both of those juices and they are both great IMO. Cookie will gunk the hell out of your coil, so keep that in mind.

I went with standard shipping. Got two 15ml bottles to try out so we will see. I've been rebuilding my coils anyway so im used to them getting gunked up from the sugar.

Did you get to try those? I'm curious as to your opinion.

I vaped all the strawnilla..a little too sweet and a very candy like strawberry hint. Not exactly what I was expecting. Got cookie..like a hint of light dark chocolate, still too sweet like strawnilla. Overall, vapeable because I had nothing else lol.

Yeah that's the thing with these juices. All very sweet. Glad you tried them. Do you have a favorite juice? What flavor/vendor?

I have a few from a local shop. About 20 min from where I live..preferred vapor. They also have a website like the store name.

My favorites are white frost, strawbana, peachy apple cream. All which are delicious and can't find anything like that on other sites.

Maybe I'll try them. I was wanting to try DIY, but decided against it. I have kids and don't want strong nicotine base anywhere around. I could buy some 6 or 12mg base, but I'll just wait until they are older. So sad that a baby boy died recently just before his 2nd birthday. He drank some 100mg base that someone left on a table, uncapped. Its a tragedy that's difficult to really absorb and grasp.

Yea that is horrible. I don't mess with DIY because I don't have time. It takes a while hunting down the right flavors just as if you are looking for good juice.

Has anyone here tried the Aspire Nautilus mini?, I'm still using the Protank 2 but I'm going through a LOT of coils, it's not that big a deal as they are $4.90/5 pack from fasttech, (+1.25 expedited shipping) but I'd like a tank setup that has coils that last. I can get the mini@ $24 but the coils for it run $10/5 pack, anyone care to share their experiences with the mini?

I have the regular Nautilus. I've heard the flavor of the mini is alright, but the normal Nautilus is better off. Its also probably harder to rebuild on the mini. Coils for the Nautilus are about $20 for 5 from my local shop (sub tank). I use them and then rebuild my own horizontal coils with a drill bit and 24g wire.

If you don't mind the mini and it's not a pain for you to rebuild on it, or don't mind getting replacement coils its not a bad choice. The flavor is better than protank though. I used to use protank 2 for a while but now I mainly use the aspire.

Also take a look at the Kanger Subtank Mini. I have two and will likely get a third. Great flavor and the coils last a lot longer than the protank style coils.

With coils... What's lasting a short time mean? What's a long time?

I realize this varies by setup, but I'm curious what others are getting. I consider 2-3 weeks good, running aspire atlantis.

Mine go for about a week or two with stock Atlantis coils. Depends on the juice.

I found you need near full power on the battery not to burn the cotton. If you feel your coil getting warm and not hitting good swap batteries asap. Also, keep it clean, hard to do with a wide opening going straight to the coil. I'd keep it in a jacket pocket and the lint was falling in... Doesn't take much to foul the coil/cotton.

Yea same goes for rebuilt coils. I really need to get a box mod so I can have constant power.

Yup that's what I have my eyes on. Just have to take care of some other bills first like fixing my damn car before I splurge on stuff. Seems like anytime I want to buy myself something something else comes along lol

OK, thanks for the input, I'll have to check out Youtube to see what people have been doing as far as rebuilding the coils for the mini, with Kranger (at least the original styles) the coils at $1/ea are not worth the trouble IMO. What I wanted was a tank with adjustable airflow which the Protank 2 lacks.

Yea, I've seen some reviews and most were very positive about it. Thing is my battery is an MVP 20W so it cannot drive anything below 1.0 ohms. If I recall you can get the subtank with a 1.2 ohm coil but I'm not sure if I would go that route, kinda defeats the purpose to buy a "subtank" and run a 1.2 coil in it. Batteries have been plunging in price lately though, this one caught my attention and at the $60-65 price range is a bargain IMO. It's rated down to .2 ohms and can deliver 70W of power, iPV Mini II - 70W - Black
