Sober Vapers Part 2
Hello Again,
I have a few questions:
1. What are your thoughts on VapeWild's juices safety?
2. How will I know when to replace my coil?
3. How do I prime?
BTW, 6 days no analogs. 5 months today alcohol free.

I probably said it before, but I make 500ml at a time which costs me about 9 USD in materials.
Neither positive nor negative. Some of their juices might contain DA/AP, or not, but unless they provide you with a lab test, it's very hard to know. They are great when you are on a budget, and I think they are on par with MBV.
Let me take one step back though: the potential damage from DA and AP is a long term one. Just like very few people got lung problems from smoking after 5 or even 10 years, there's no reason to panic. But I hope that between this and one year all juices will be certified DA/AP free.
2. How will I know when to replace my coil?
3. How do I prime?
Priming it too much is easily fixed. Not priming it enough will forever ruin the taste from the first time you hit the fire button, so it's best to err on the side of overdoing it. It's hard to quantify, but these coils can soak up to a ml of juice before they get over-saturated.

Thank You Chief Bromden,
I know I could ask these questions at my local vape shop, or watch youtube videos, but I respect and trust the wisdom provided here at SR much more.
I'd like to thank all of you for your help on this.
Also, I received the VapeWild order today. Spent $35 and got 180 ml. Time to Steep.

No worries, that's what this thread is for!
In other news, I decided to try a US liquid that gets high praise on reddit all the time: Adirondack. I ordered Cascade, Saratoga, Placid, and Seneca. They are mainly known for their fruit flavors that should taste like real fruit and not the candy version of it. We'll see.
Price wise, they are somewhere in the middle with $14.99 for a 30ml. They also have 6ml tryout bottles for $3.99.
First time I bought juice in 8 months!

I think I'll never learn... Bought two more Lemo 2's, one for my wife, and one for testing out the Adirondack juices.
To see what the hype is all about, I also finally caved in and got the latest Subtank Mini in white with the newest RBA deck (with the large juice inlet holes on the side). The only other sub-ohm tank I tried was the original Atlantis, and I didn't care at all for the taste of that. I'm hoping this one is better, and I will try out the nickel (or titanium when they become available?) coils to see if they can get me on the lazy side of vaping.
Finally, also get me two LG HG2 3000mAh batteries to test out in my Mini M. They are new (2015), 20 amp continuous with 35amp peak (so good enough for the M), and hopefully give me a full day of vaping, will let you know.

We just picked up a new subtank mini for my wife. I've been telling her that she should move from the mini Nautalis 1.8 ohm coils , to 1.2 ohms after trying it at the store she agreed with the girl it was better , now why didn't I suggest that for her , lol. RBA deck is nice (looking, as i haven't tried building on it) the wicking channels look way better, not sure how they don't flood, but better minds then mine.
The air intake on the base is nicer, imo, in that it is two inlets per setting now.
Cant wait to try the Placid, maybe the post man has a surprise for me tonight
Vape On!!

I have the 30W and I love it too. The battery is very long lasting. I was thinking about getting the 50W but it is a tad heavy (I carry mine around my neck).

Yeah Carlotta 30w is really all a person needs. I never smoke it at 50! I usually don't go much higher that 20 lol. And yeah it's quite bulky, I'm always explaining what it is to strangers who see me using it. I think I've actually converted a few people off the nasty tobacco and onto vaping
Well, I almost relapsed and bought a pack of cigarettes.
Lots of stress at work then after a conversation with my boss about the state of affairs (bleak) I went to the convenience store to get some cold diet coke and thought: screw it, I m getting a cigarette.
I asked if they sold singles and they did not. After pausing, I realized that I was lucky quitting was so easy for me and that I took on to vaping like a fish.
What if I bought a pack and started smoking again and vaping didn't do it anymore?
Anyway, the AV almost got me but I m happily vaping Razzleberry from VW right now and the craving left almost as fast as it came.
What is funny is that my boss is a smoker but when we were talking, I had no desire for one and did not even think about bumming a smoke. It hit me at the convenience store...Well, on the plus side, the AV tried its shenanigans with cigarettes rather than with alcohol: thank goodness.

But, most importantly, you don't want to be in the minority who think "ooh, finally" and go back to smoking, so if you can avoid it, so much the better.
Given that, through vaping, we have the "smoke", the taste, the gestures, the nicotine, I think it's safe to say that the AV at that stage is purely psychological, i.e. we still associate smoking with stress relief. Some tricks to combat that are: buy some fancy expensive juice to treat yourself, or have one bottle on the side with a higher nicotine level than usual. Chances are though that the higher nicotine will taste vile as well (!), so just saying no! or treating yourself with some great juice are still the best bet.
dwtbd, that Subtank is rather amazing... 30W on a stock 0.5 coil isn't even warm, and where I was bracing for that "wet sock taste" that I know and expect from stock coils, it tasted good from the get go. It's not how I normally vape, but I got to admit that this is a spectacular product! Damn.
