SOFT BEATS OUT CRUNCHY? SERIOUSLY??
I know taste is subjective, but COME ON! Soft edged out crunchy by a score of 124 to 119 (do I really need to make a chart). Personally, I’m a crunchy guy!
More reviews coming soon!
Please don’t forget that this site Tweets updates out, but I don’t nor do I respond. So if you’ve respond to a Tweet, please don’t think I’m an a-hole for not answering.
Also, I haven’t been on the forums very much so if you’d like to shoot me a question please use pbusardo@tasteyourjuice.com. That’s not a knock against forums, it’s simply a limitation of my time which is in the red at this point due to this effort.
Thanks all!
Looking forward to seeing many of you at the NY VapeFest!!

A great conversation about devices, keeping your head, and vaping safety.

And of course, some comedy thrown in for good measure.

Oh, and BTW – Dimi T juice is a nice name, but I would have called it “Feta Fluid” 🙂

THE JANTY MID ONE – FIRST LOOK
So here it is, the Janty MiD One. So far, I’ve put the batteries in and looked at the pretty blue light.
Note that this is a “prototype” version and may not look exactly like the final production unit.
I may not shoot a video until I get the production unit in my hands, but as I play with it, I’ll blog about it.
My initial impression… it’s cylindrical.
DID SOME DIDING TONIGHT
Did some more playing with my DID tonight (yeah, I know that doesn’t sound right).
Again, I was using the porous ceramic or the FC2000 wick. BTW – It was nice to pull this wick out of the old build, quickly torch it, and have it coming out looking like new.
First, I played with some ribbon wire, maybe also known as fettuccine wire. HATED IT! Even after torching it, it was WAY too springy. Got frustrated and gave up.
Then, I tried some twisted or braided 32 AWG. Wound up with a 1.0 Ohm coil in the DID, mounted it up on the EA mod, threw in a MNKE 18650 and DAMN! Nice vape! I think the coil maybe eating up the juice faster than the wick can handle it.
Very impressed with the braided wire so far and I feel it works every bit as good, if not better than the 28 AWG, but I certainly don’t have enough of time to say for sure.
A tighter wrap, or perhaps some cheesecloth (according to the maker of the wick) wrapped around the wick may help.
There goes my 15 minutes of free time for the day!
Thanks for the tips everyone!

Dear Phil,
I wanted to thank you. I’ve been 7 months now analog free. I must say it has been
so much fun having you along the vaping journey, why with all the information you
provide, and the reviews, how could you not enjoy it? You make it so much fun!I do own several device’s now, but finally purchased a Satin Blue Provari V2. OMG!
What a gem of fine craftsmanship,, or piece of crafted art, I choose to say. When I
went on the Provape site to order it, I was glad to see I could get the original
version, as I did not care for the new knurling in the 2.5 Ver.I know I had made the right choice after realizing that you provided a “How To”
video on there site on its operation. My face lit up with a huge smile, and a sigh
of relief in a way, knowing you were there to help me. I can’t say thank you
enough.I am in Love! I guess I have joined the many who have posted there reviews that
starts with those four words. I am so thankful that the industry listens to
reviewers like you and others out there, so that we can get the best vape experience
possible from all the products out there in this industry.I know I won’t stop buying other stuff, why? Its fun! Now, if you could convince
Provari, to add variable wattage to there internals, that would be really
suhhhweeettt…..lol.Thanks for who you are. Pbsuardo!

O.K. So here is my story. I’m 67 and smoked cigarettes for 48 years.During this time
I tried to quit times beyond count. Tried cold turkey, nicotine patches, gum and lozenges all to no
avail. Never got past 2 days. I can’t tell you how many times when I was driving, got furious
with myself, crushed the pack and launched it out the window, only to stop at a store 2 hours
later and get another pack. Same thing at home, threw out the cigs and ashtrays, and then bought them
again a day later.Quitting smoking is a TOUGH deal. How tough? This tough: 3 1/2 years ago I had a
heart attack and was flown to a hospital in N.Y. state. They operated and put in a
stent. While there, the nurses noticed that my chart said I was a smoker and asked
if I wanted a nicotine patch. I said no and they asked why.
I said because they were useless and never helped me quit. When they released me I
couldn’t wait to get to the car and smoked 4 cigarettes on the way home. That tough.I continued to smoke for another 2 years. I had seen the banner adds for
e-cigarettes many years before, but figured it was just another scam. Finally
though, I clicked on one and for the first time it began to dawn on me what they
were really all about, and that this might be my last chance. So I ordered a kr808
kit. When it came, I knew from the first moment I picked it up and puffed on it that
this at last was the answer. I quit cigarettes in just 6 days. 6 DAYS! As of this
writing, I have been smoke free for 1 year, 9 months. Not 1 cigarette, not 1 puff.Many people think nicotine is the main obstacle in quitting, but they are wrong.
Sure, it has something to do with it but it is nowhere near to being the main
problem. The main problem is this:Smoking becomes a part of your life, exactly as eating does. I enjoy eating and i
really enjoyed smoking.You sit down, light up a smoke, relax, and for a few minutes the world and all its
problems go away. You loosen up, relax, tension fades for those few minutes and IT
FEELS GOOD.E cigarettes work for me and for thousands of others because it allows
me to go through the same motions as smoking. You pick up the e-cigarette, pretend
to light it, you puff on it, you see and feel the vapor, you relax, you go through
the same motions as smoking and it FEELS GOOD. The difference being, you don’t burn
anything, you don’t inhale over 400 chemicals, 60 or so being carcinogenic. The FDA,
the pharmaceutical companies, the tobacco companies should be handing these things out for free, if they really
cared about smokers health. For some strange reason they haven’t done this.OK, so that’s it. I would encourage anyone who seriously wants to quit smoking to
give e- cigarettes a try. It may be your only chance. Anyone who reads this can
freely reprint it and use my real name:Lou
