As the title says. I bought myself a mini ismoka / vapeonly bcc from totally wicked (god knows what they call it) but it had 20% off.
Anyway, when I opened it up to fill it, the atty was very wet. I just wondered what it was because it made my long bottom leaf taste funky for a while.

I have to mention (rather than creating a new thread) that totally wicked are selling the mega and mini version of the ismoka / vapeonly bcc tanks as well as kangers although they are not protanks or evods and as usual, they have rebranded them with there own names.

I'm going to be buying one of the mini ismoka / vapeonly bcc's tomorrow and a few more spare heads because the shop has currently got 20% off everything so I'm taking advantage of it.

I love my mega tank but I need some new heads (not the same as evods) and also, I think the mini will look cool on my spinner.

The 8 second cut off is annoying however I do a split second off and back on again without stopping inhaling. I have not noticed it with mine.

I was just wondering if a dripping atty with ego threading exists?
Ideally would be rebuilable (even if it's not officially rebuilable)

I just fancy one which looks nice on my spinner without having to use a vanity ring.

Protected batteries may send any digital mod funny due to the limitations of the protection although, I never had any problems with my vamo with my Panasonic battery. I plan on buying the 3400mah Panasonic for this... I just hope it fits lol.

Steeping (in vaping terminology,) is the process in which you are either forcing or allowing the eliquid to mix evenly at the molecular level.

The actual technical term is homogenization, which questions why we use the term “Steeping” in the first place.

The term “Steeping” actually refers to putting a solid into a liquid to soak in order to soften, cleanse or to extract a given property from.
Some eliquid producers actually use this process to extract real flavours, especially with tobacco flavours.

Incorrect terminology aside, lets move on to the real subject.

As we know, eliquid is usually made from 4 main ingredients although, there is an unimaginable amount of combinations, variations and additions to the basic recipe, the reason for steeping is exactly the same.

The basic ingredients of eliquid are: Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerine, Flavouring and Nicotine.

Each ingredient is of different viscosities which means when placed in a bottle together, they don't actually mix together at the molecular level although through the naked eye, you wouldn't be able to tell. If you had a microscope, it would look something like this:


What the steeping process does, is turn the Heterogeneous mixture into a Homogeneous mixture which would look something like this:


There are a number of methods which have been reported to work including, whisking, leaving them on a radiator, even sealing bottles of eliquid to the inside of wheel trims (hub caps) before going on a drive. No matter which method works for you, eventually all eliquids will reach a point where they are "steeped."

One of the most simple and effective methods is the natural steep. To archive a natural steep, simply remove the cap and the dripper, put your bottle of juice in a safe, dark place and leave it from anywhere between a week and a month.
This method takes by far the longest to achieve a homogeneous state as you are relying on the molecules themselves to move each other until they are evenly mixed.

One of the most common ways of speeding up the process is by using an Ultrasonic cleaner.
What this does, is vibrates the eliquid at a very high rate, at the same time as heating the liquid up which in turn, forces the molecules to move around much faster, causing them to become even at a much quicker rate.
This can lower a steeping time from 3 weeks using the natural method to 24 hours if done correctly.

The outcome of all of this is a much more bodied, rounder, flavourful vape. Where you might not have tasted some flavours when the juice was new, flavours come out and are richer and more defined.



Away from vaping, homogenization is used most obviously in milk processing although, that is done by forcing the milk through tiny valves at extremely high pressure.

Homogenization is also used in Science Labs however, they use Ultrasonic Homogenizers and have some really amazing results.


You can actually buy the wands online however, they are way over priced and I don't see Fasttech getting them any time soon.

I have an evod with a similar problem. It had a tank of juice play nicely and the second time I filled it, I got juice in my mouth really badly. I mean, I might as well have been using a straw. I changed the head to a brand new one with the same result. I checked all of the rubber bits and everything and it visually looks fine.

The only thing I think it might be is the centre tube has moved some how upwards so no matter how tight it all is, it will flood.
