That's the relevant part for us. Hands up if you mix nicotine with water... Disgusting.

Hello and welcome!
To answer that direct question: No, vaped tobacco flavoured liquids don't make the house stink of ashtray. Or I have not found one that does. The tobacco taste (and smell) is more like fresh hay, somewhat grassy and sweet.
Best to work with your family about what smells good and what doesn't. I have a strawberry liquid that my partner can smell downstairs when I vape it upstairs - I am glad she likes it =)
But it is all down to the individual. Some of the cinnamon liquids make the house smell a bit like walking past a good bakery around christmas.
Some liquids don't smell at all.
Try it and decide for yourself.
Edit: You can definitely set up in the evening and just grab your stuff in the morning and go, but vaping is not just as hassle free as smoking. Sometimes things go wrong or break and there's nothing you can do about it. So, best to always have a backup ready, so that you can simply sort it out in the evening at home.

If your Pro Tank works well with your liquid, and there is no burnt taste or lack of vapour, there is nothing you should do. Removing the top wick regulates the juice flow, so that more liquid gets to the coil. Too much liquid can flood the coil, though.
I am using my Pro Tank with the original setup and all wicks in place, as it works fine without removing one.

LOL u noob
Please be aware that the humble "Buy a Riva 1100" advice is only a lure into the depths of the abyss of shinyitis, where "nice" people will introduce you to the secrets of Kayfuns, Ithakas and Provaris and entice you to "try an Evod" or "rebuild that, it is simple" or, even worse, point you to the Mixology section.

Ah, I see what this is about now - the Scorpion Blood by Mido. I never tasted that, unfortunately, so I don't have an idea how to replicate it. But the absinthe+blackcurrant is quite good on its own. I even thought about adding a splash of koolada or menthol, but never got around to it.
Basically yes, it is a good idea to start low with the flavourings and add later. But even if you went too high, you can always dilute with some base of your strength. I do that all the time.
Oh, and be careful with the absinthe in clearomisers, the flavouring is notorious for breaking tanks, even if it never happened to me.

Liberty Flights sells different flavourings. The DV one is what I use and it is clearly labelled "Decadent Vapurs Flavour Concentrate Absinthe". The colour of the flavouring is a deep green and it is a bit cloudy. Does that sound like yours? If so, the minimum percentage I would use is 10% - up to 20% if you want to use it by itself.
Maybe you could try mixing the absinthe and the blackcurrant seperately and find a mix between the two later.
Edit: By the way - the absinthe doesn't really need steeping - a good shake and a couple hours wait is good enough for a test.

What aniseed and what absinthe flavouring is that?
I am using Decadent Vapours absinthe at 15% with 5% Totally Wicked Gold Standard black currant for my absinthe type liquid and it is delicious. The FA aniseed that I have is quite weak and I stopped using it a while ago.

Pure menthol juice doesn't need any steeping, really. Give it a good shake and go.

We don't get much of that abuse over here, but when it happens I usually just put them on hold and go about my business.

The main window may be hidden, but the software IS running. That's commonplace for hardware related software. You could take a note of the PID of the running process (under "View" in the task manager click on "select columns", check "PID") and then start the software again - compare the PID of the "new" Process with the old one - I am guessing they will be the same.

eVic MVR software takes quite a bit of CPU for something that ain't even open: ??? Erm, in that screenshot it does not use any CPU. Most likely it is just in the background, polling the USB so that it can react to your eVic being connected. 12MB RAM isn't out of the ordinary for a managed .NET software which I guess it is.

Hello there and welcome!
If you struggle with the AGA-T, I can't see a reason for you to buy an ihybrid - they are basically the same. What IS the struggle you have with it, anyway?
