just to throw a possible spanner into the musings, for small, tough and reliable, have you (Raffles Montana or anyone else) considered the X6? Current fave of mine, and only £5-odd from fasttech, and in a big range of colours... got 2 black ones (more expensive than all the others at circa £8), just ordered this electric blue beauty for Mrs G-J:-

That does look good , but what I'm looking for is two fold , first was either the VTR or similar mod that has protection of the tank and threads and secondly something that has variable wattage as ( well it does for me ) it seems to taste nicer, don't ask me why, because I don't know , lol.

As I said , I'm in a bit of a dilemma because I like the VTR for both the reasons above, is just the extra expense of batteries and charger that are stopping me and I also haven't found anything that protects the tanks like a VTR does.In my line of work and I would say a lot of other construction workers we need something that is tough and it only seems to be the VTR that fits the bill.If there was more choice I think other construction workers would change to E-Cigs as there seems to be a very high percentage of smokers on a construction site.

If only, it would be nice , but it might be Euro's though , lol

Andy

20 euro would be ok with me haha

Me to, I'll not say no to that.

I think what sammy13 is getting at is , why don't they do an option to do 2ml samples as well as one.A 2ml sample would be slightly cheaper as packaging would be less and it would be the best option for those of us that use tanks to test our flavours with , and if you drip as well, there would be enough to drip a little as well.

The best of both worlds really, maybe something that SmokeRainbow could seriously consider.

Also sammy13 said about the WOW or YUK reaction is spot on.Dripping is totally different from using a tank, I think most of us use a tank most of the time for ease of use. So having a larger sample would let us see realistically what the flavour was going to be like.

I know it must be difficult for SmokeRainbow to decide what flavours and strengths to have , but could they just get the highest strength of the liquid and then they could lower the strength their end with PG or VG to the strength requested , OR ask the vendors they get the flavours from to give them concentrates if they were available ? Just a thought.I know that every E-Juice vendor won't do that but it's worth a try as it is advertising the E-Juice vendors liquids and the people liking a juice that they got from SmokeRainbow will probably go straight to the vendors page and buy direct from them.

I guess what I'm saying is if the E-Juice vendors and SmokeRainbow got together and sorted the logistics together it could be massive.For example if I found a flavour I really liked you could go back to the SmokeRainbow site click a link direct to the E-Juice vendors site buy a bottle, giving both sites advertising , AND the E-Juice vendors could have a link to SmokeRainbow to see if you like it try it here, and it's a minimum investment.

One thing that I would like to see from SmokeRainbow is samples of juices that aren't readily available

I think that most of what I've said is just being hopeful, but maybe it could work.You lot decide if it is a good idea.

I think it must be just me but , I have 2 reasons why I try juices at the nicotine level that I would order ,

A) To see if the throat hit is right and that can seem to change with different flavours

B) This is more complex but I'll try and explain , when I've tried the same flavour with a lower nicotine level , the flavour seems to be a lot less.I normally (95%) use 18mg strength and when I've tried the next level down ( normally 12mg ) I can hardly taste anything at all, I've tried a tighter draw to wick the juice quicker , a slower draw , increasing the volts or watts , but nothing seems to change the flavour.

I've been told by several vendors that the nicotine level should make NO difference at all as the flavour is the same across the nicotine strengths is the same.

I think the road to me finding more flavours is going to be long and complicated , lol.

Andy

I don't think it's a search for an ADV or even having something for a particular time of the day , it's having flavours that I actually like.

I only have two flavours that I could actually like , the others that I've had have either been thrown away , as I thought I wouldn't even subject somebody to that disgusting taste , there hasn't been enough left of a very small sample to pass it on to someone and the rest are sitting on my shelf at home.I put some of them in a sale or trade thread and I had little to no interest and I really don't know what to do with them and there are 10+ of them just sitting there.

Yes I have tried SmokeRainbow , they do have a lot of vendors on there and a lot of flavours , the couple of problems that I have are is a) they don't have the flavours that I'm looking for from a particular vendor and b) they don't have the nicotine level that I'm looking for.For example looking at the list of flavours that I want to try at Vapefest and look at the Mt Baker Vapor flavours I've listed , they only have 2 of the flavours I want to try , both of them only has one nicotine level and not the nicotine level I use.Also they don't have the range of PG/VG ratios either just the one.Don't get me wrong this is not a complaint, as I have ordered from them before and I do continue to look at their site quite often to see what's there.

I think what I'm saying is that I would like a range of flavours , so I can pick a flavour that I feel like at that particular time , I think , lol

make sure you take a couple of drippers with you then you can try juices that other Vapers are using as well as the Vendors ones.

Most people will be more than happy to share with you.

That sounds good to me what is the PG/VG ratio of the Dekang E-Juices ?

You will see below my current ADV and that is a sweet tobacco that is a 30/70 PG/VG mix.

I've never looked for an ADV, nor would I want one with the number of lovely flavours available, I like to chop and change during the day. That also stops my taste buds from getting too tuned in to a certain flavour.

Perhaps mixing could be your next consideration Montana, then you can experiment to your hearts content.

I am looking for several flavours that I can rotate, so keeping me and my taste buds happy.

Mixing is certainly something I will be looking into , but I'm a bit wary of making a lot of something that may still taste like POO , lol

The only thing I can mention is that I kept many of the juices I didn't rate at first as now I have a selection of different tanks I've found that some e-liquids taste much better/less so, depending on what I use.

For example T-Juice Red Astaire I hated in iclear16's but now really enjoy at low voltage in glass protank and in boge carto. Whereas Jack The Ripple seemed mega bland in both those tanks but pleasurable in my billet box using a billet bridge (aspire bdc coil) and Minty The Toff is tasty in my protanks but rancid in my billet box with diver v2 but its enjoyable in my spheroid

So what I'm trying to say is some juices you don't like in tanks you are using now can taste completely different in a new/different tank so don't dismiss them if you change gear

I currently use a Protank 2 a Mini Protank 2 and EVOD's at the moment as they all use the same coil heads and for me have been simple enough to recoil and wick.I need to keep things simple, I'm just a man after all , lol

The two Juices that I really like but didn't want to mention before are :-

Joose Juice 18mg Caramel Blend with 10% extra flavour 30/70 PG/VG

Vapor-Z Pop-I Tobacco 70/30 PG/VG

The Caramel Blend is definitely my ADV and even makes my mouth water upon vaping it , funnily enough I didn't really like Caramel before I starting vaping it, it is absolutely devine.

The Pop-I Tobacco is my occasional vape but still very nice , it's just they don't have an option for PG/VG yet and I can't buy the concentrate yet either as the higher PG content seems to make my throat sore.

The juices that I've lined myself up to try ( as long as those flavours are there are : -

Banana Nut Bread          -   Mt Baker Vapor      Various PG/VG options re available

Orange Dream Bar         -   Mt Baker Vapor

Hazelnut Spread            -  Mt Baker Vapor       I don't know if I will be able to try any of these, as I can't seem to find a UK seller, but they are one of the Vendors supporting Vapefest

Cinnamon Roll               -   Mt Baker Vapor

Ecto Cooler                   -  Mt Baker Vapor
Sanke Oil                      -   T-Max                          60/40

Black Jack                     -   Trip Hammer                50/50

Fruit Salad                    -   Trip Hammer                50/50

Strawberry Champagne  -  Trip Hammer                 50/50

Bellini                           -   Trip Hammer                50/50

Cream Tea                    -   Trip Hammer                50/50

Various                         -   T-Max                          worried about their 80/20 PG/VG

American Apple Pie        -   The Alchemists Cupboard - ???  PG/VG

Apple & Blackberry        -    The Alchemists Cupboard - 60/40

Seville Marmalade          -   Mrs Lord & Co                  - 50/50

I have had a look at some of the above Vendors , some are supporting the event and the rest will be attending , I'm Just not sure that the likes of Mt Baker Vapor will be available for me to try.

Roll on Vapefest , only 2 weeks and a few hours to go.
