Weeee! - tank-mania

I suppose you could say I'm suffering from tank-mania. This is a psychological condition that affects vapers who are still learning. Having found something that appeals to them, they play about with it in vape-heaven-on-earth whilst weighing up, tasting, listening, and descerning the benefits of this aspect and the drawbacks of some other aspect. This is an essential part of learning about vaping.

Tank-mania has affected me quite significantly. I have come to know that you DON'T have to hear the tank gurgling to, in fact, have a satisfactory draw. A tank needs not be noisy. Crackling does not indicate a good tank - only a noisy one!

Some of the best vapes I am having on my tanks, are quite silent and no eyes would turn in my direction in a crowd if I vaped with it.

Some of the best vapes with tanks - not of the dual-coil kind, can be had on a small 650 mAh battery pushing out less volts. The flavour is what it really is all about. Some e liquid needs to be gently heated rather than blasted to get the best flavour. Different batteries can give a different perfect flavours - the poor man's variable voltage practise.

A big tank is not better than a small tank - but a translucent tank is better than one you can't see into.

Tank technology is bounding forward - what I thought was the bees knees two months ago, I now consider antediluvian. Wow - watch my hair fly back as we move into tank future! I like what's happening to me now - the future's going to be fascinating.

PG experiment

I added PG to my tasteless VG eliquid that I complained about. This morning I felt it had brought out the flavour that I know is there as I added it myself. So I filled my tank. I vaped it till  about four-o-clock this afternoon and it felt good - but not amazing. While out for afternoon coffee, I vaped a different flavour and now my improved eliquid tastes completely bland and disappointing. Maybe my palate has been altered, or I'm tired - it's the end of the day?

Oops! battery is blinking. Maybe THAT'S the problem?

With a new battery, and a reassuring sound of snap crackle and pop as I draw on my dual coil tank, my vape should be better? Oh well, not wonderful, not really quite adequate.

The result of my experiment is that if I want flavour, I'll need to add more concentrate.

Memo to myself - order more concentrate and rescue the stuff properly.

VG dulls flavour

I am learning - everyday!

I have been using dual coil cartomiser tanks. The one that is filled with PG/VG mix has a lovely flavour. And the other, filled with just VG and the correct number of drops per ml concentrate flavour - is really disappointing! No flavour, no throat hit, no satisfaction. I tried using it the whole day yesterday and ended up with a really phlegmy throat. I think VG pure, does not agree with me.

I think it has killed the flavour of my concentrate. What a waste! Not going to do that again. Think I've got a bottle of PG - might add some. I'll learn another lesson, probably.
