I use 2 Triton MK1 tanks with 0.4 ohm coils and have done since they came out - they fit me perfectly - I pair them with either my Cuboid 150W, my Archon, my Cloupor GT, or my Tesla Two or Tesla Three - I've given away all the other powered mods that I had to my vapefam, and although I still enter comps online for other vape related gear, it usually gets passed on to other members of my vapefam - which gives me the same buzz I used to get from shinyitis believe it or not!

I also DIY so never run out of juice and when one flavor becomes passe, I move on. Still surprised at how many times people complain about the price of juice, or that their retailer doesn't have their favourite juice in stock, and so they'll have to try something different just to get through: why make it so hard for yourselves? After a bit of practice and an accurate set of scales, I can mix up a 100ml batch which will last just over a week, in about 5 minutes.

I know it's still early days on your vaping journey, but in regards the vapour's tongue concern, I have a few bottles of 0mg eliquid with cherry, menthol, mint, and some Hangsen Golden Tree concentrate, that I give to my vapefam if they tell me they're suffering - depending on their preferences - that way it usually only requires two or three drops added to a 10ml bottle to make the difference. As a DIYer, I always have my favourite flavours available to adjust a batch if I think it's getting a bit "samey". I've never bought from a shop, only online, and it's never been an issue; just keep experimenting, without lowering your nic level, and you'll get there!

I make a batch of my ADV - which depends on my mood - usually about 400ml - then I mix up a small batch of a custardy loveliness and sometimes another - it maybe menthol or as of last nite, it's Kentucky bourbon flavored. I vape my all day and then if I get bored will reach for one of the other two, then go back to my all day. I've tried many different manufacturers eliquids, and can honestly say that I couldn't tell a premium from a hole in the ground, but I could tell a cheapy - no depth of flavor, and usually a nasty aftertaste - so I only mix my own - but occasionally I've been known to enter a few giveaways and had a chance to try other's juice ranges - and am yet to be impressed, I'm glad to say, as my way is so much more affordable. I've met juice snobs who won't vape it unless it's a US import, and I think - each to their own - which in my case is my own!

Well toots it sounds like we share a similar flavor profile - I use blackberry or apple and "additions" in most of my current recipes. In the past few months I've used TFA Blackberry in conjunction with watermelon, lemon/lime, lemonade and lemon sherbert, with the addition of ethyl maltol, and it really "hits the spot"! I really need to start posting some of my recipes!

Next time you see her you could "point" her in the direction of DIY as that will give her more pennies for pampering, and she may even find it fun?

I watched Scott Bonner's (igetcha69) YT vid on DIYing last nite, and was instantly converted to the idea of mixing using scales - it looks so much easier than filling syringes, pipettes, glass cylinders, which is how I've been doing it for the past 20 months or so. Small digital scales cost less than a £5 note in UK and as long as accurate to 2 decimal points (0.00) then they'll do the job. Scales should have a tare button - to zero the scales - then add 1st ingredient, say PG at 20 grams - then hit tare button and add the next ingredient, and so on until you've added all your flavors,base and nic and your're good to go. No mess, nothing to get washed out - I'm already working out what to put in my next batch, and I'm going to make my three ADV's up in 100ml batches, because I can (usually just make one batch at a time and then alternate which flavor combo to put in)

I have used the Rebranded Rhubarb at 2-3% as an added note to some of my fruity vapes, but never tempted to make it a big player in any flavor mix; did think about trying a Rhubarb & Custard, but the custard was so overpowering I never got it just so. At these small percentages was quite happy with the flavor profile and not aware of any perfumey plastic taste.
