    what methods have you used to clean out clearomizers for new juices?

Awesome transition.

I just use a dripping atomizer to test new juices, I never fill a whole clearo up unless I know I'll use it. I'm pretty set with a couple juices right now, so I don't really "clean them". I just buy new heads. I use Kanger MT3S clearos, and when I have switched juices, I just dump it out, rinse it with hot water (with the head removed), and let it dry for a day, then put a new head in it and filler up.

I got so tired of the juice hunt, I only buy two now, and vape one 90% of the time, Kentucky Peachwood from Vermillion River Ejuice (it's a delicious tobacco blend, like a KY4 + some peach hint). Then I have a Root Beer Float from JuicyVapor I puff on occasionally to change it up. I have a drawer full of juice that I'll never touch more than the few drops I used to taste it.

What do you use for clearos?

I had a few in rotation from Mt. Baker Vapor that are all running out around now. All the flavors were good, but at the moment the ones that I really wanted to re-up are unavailable (of course), so I just kind of got a grab bag full. I should get a dripping atomizer, though at the moment I'm pretty sure I'll vape them all, even if I'm not a huge fan. I haven't tried any tobacco flavors yet. Should I expect a realistic tobacco flavor?

I had a few MT3S for a while, but all but one started leaking like crazy and I couldn't figure out why or fix the issue. I don't think it's the juice since I'd tried them out on the MT3 clearos I'd had. So, though I think the MT3S produces better flavor, I got a bunch of T2 clearos, which work well for me. I figured that taking out the heads and rinsing was the way to go, but just wondering if there's some other thing that I could be doing.

No. In my experience tobacco flavors don't taste like cigarettes, but they do have a certain delicious "harshness" to them that blends so well when paired with a fruit flavor. Most "tobacco flavors" kind of go off of the KY4 formula that is so popular. The base tobacco blend from Vermillion River is a little tobacco flavor, a little caramel, and a little what tastes like hazelnut. I didn't think I'd like tobacco flavors when I first started vaping, but after trying a bunch of fuity flavors I ended up falling in love with Vermillion River's tobacco line up. Their Kentucky Peachwood and Kentucky Bananawood are really good, I'd highly recommend them if you want to try tobacco flavors. Vermillion is a local place here in MN, and their store is about 30 minutes drive from me. They actually sell from their own storefront and webpage, but they also supply all the other brick & mortar shops around here as well. If you want to try tobacco flavors, honestly give them a try. My buddies and I all vape their stuff. Other than the two flavors I mentioned, their Kentuck Premium blend base is good, and so is there "Minnesota Menthol", which has a little menthol and mint in it, plus their kentucky tobacco base. They do have some ones that are supposed to taste like cigarettes, but they are pretty gross. Stick with the Kentucky ones or the KY4 if you ever do give them a try.

Yeah I don't clean my heads or clearos. The way I look at it, as a former cigarette smoker, who lives in a state with $8+ packs, even if I used a new clearo everyday I'd be saving money, lol. So I just replace the heads like one a week or whenever they leak or start to taste like crap. Heads are only like $1.50 from vapingme.com, and that's where I get all my stuff from.

Nice, I will keep this in mind for the next time I buy juice for sure. I hear you on the affordability of new heads. I've been using vaping.me since you recommended it to me a while back, good site.

Vapingme rocks. And dude sends you like Pokemon cards and Starship trooper cards, and pictures of dinosaurs and stuff.

Anglefire still exists?

I am getting worse and worse with tangents, I admit.

AlderaanDuran  ·  3837 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hah, awesome. I got a Street Sharks card last time, and some dinosaur factoids. Definitely nothing as cool as T2 or Star Trek cards yet.

What I like about the Star Trek card is that her hair is not a weave, it's woven.
