Grant's Vanilla Custard Review

As anyone who reads my Blog regularly will tell you, I've been searching for the "perfect eLiquid".  When I say "perfect", I don't mean an eLiquid that everyone agrees is the "best" in the world, I mean one that is perfect, inasmuch as it's made to taste exactly as what it's packaged to be.

Having read (or at least skimmed) dozens of reviews and comments about Grant's Vanilla Custard (GVC for the rest of this review), I decided that I needed to get a hold of some for myself.

Upcoming Reviews for November 2013

So right now I'm waiting on something that (according to many people) is supposed to "rock my world".

As most of you who've been following me for any amount of time knows, I depend on the Kanger designed ProTank Atomizer Heads to Vaporize my eLiquids.  However, there are some cases where the ProTank heads just can't reproduce flavor the way they're supposed to (Boba's Bounty anyone).

1. I'll be reviewing a SvoёMesto Kayfun v3.1 ES (clone) as soon as I receive it.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the Kayfun/Taifun/Russian/etc types of devices, they're a ReBuildable Atomizer that functions on the same premise as a ProTank, except with the ability to atomize more eLiquid (due to greater surface area), provide greater airflow (thanks to an adjustable valve) and therefore provide ProTank type performance, but stepped up to the next level.

Well, at least that's what's supposed to happen in theory anyway...  ;)

Won't you join me for this review?

Keep your eyes peeled mid-November for this one...

2. Also and of very high interest to me....  I purchased a moderate quantity of both 1/4" Silica Rope and 1/4" Cotton Rope to test with the Kayfun.  Why?  Yeah... About that...  I've got this crazy idea, that instead of bundling, wrapping or creating fancy shapes with your wick, that you can just have a nice single strand do all the work for you.  Am I right?  I don't know.  Since I've never seen anyone use anything this large before (not that 1/4" is exactly large), I'm hoping that one of my crazy ideas will pay off.  Just keep in mind, you'll need either a Kayfun or a Dripper to take advantage of this particular size wick, so...  Anyway, we'll see what happens...  Right now I plan on including this as part of the Kayfun review.

Update 11/5/2013: So I finally got a replacement battery for my digital micrometer and the first thing I did was measure this new wick!  Seems like wick isn't measured to the same level of specificity that things made of metal are.  Well, then again, I can't tell you how many wobbly 510 drip-tip sockets I have, so maybe that isn't even so...  Anyway, these 2 different wicks that I have are 9/64", not 1/4".  That works out to be 3.77mm.  Regardless, I'm still really excited to see how well this stuff works!  Hmmm...  Now that I'm thinking about it, perhaps they're 1/4" once they've absorbed eLiquid?  --runs off to test!

3. As I told you in my Blog Reboot post, I cancelled some reviews last month.  There's one thing that I think deserves to be reviewed and that's the Private V2 - Tritone Clone.  It's an exact replica of the real thing (minus the center-pin).  I've been using it for the past month and I'd like to do a short review for those of you who are looking for a stylish and properly performing mod (that also happens to cost under $25!!!).  Hey, for those of you in the UK, that's about £16!!!  Anyway, keep your eyes peeled!

Update 11/5/2013: This review is up!  Read it HERE...

Sigelei #19 Mechanical Mod Review

This review has been on the back-burner now for months!  As a matter of fact, I announced that I'd be reviewing it "soon" back in June 2013!  Sorry about that...

---

Shenzhen Sigelei Technology Co, Ltd. is a Chinese manufacturer of many eCig and Vaping related products.  Everything from drip tips to atomizers to APV's and MODs.  Best known for their ZMAX product line, their catalog of Mechanical Mods is not only impressive, but growing!

Upcoming Reviews for August 2013

Being the "log watcher" that I am, I try and determine what people are looking for and I see if it fits into the category of something I would personally want to have or use.

One of the things I see, are hundreds of searches for "Tobacco Flavored" eLiquids.

If you've read my original review about Hangsen eLiquids, I sampled mostly non-tobacco related flavors.  In this upcoming review, I'm going to review these 6 Tobacco Flavors:

Arabic Tobacco Flavor
Cigar Flavor
Cubana
Eastern Tobacco Flavor
Indian Tobacco Flavor
Marlboro Red Flavor

Update 8/26/2013: The Hangsen Tobacco review is UP!  Go get it HERE...

And as a bonus and something I'm sure you've come across in your eLiquid travels....

Vitamin A Flavor eLiquid

Update 8/28/2013: The Vitamin A flavored eLiquid review is UP!, Go get it HERE...

I have no idea what this is.  I can't find any reviews on it anywhere, so I figured I'd be the first.  Keep your eyes peeled...

Hangsen has many flavors to choose from (more than 200 from what I understand), but since money doesn't grow on trees, I have to be somewhat selective when I bring in new devices and eLiquids.

Update 8/16/2013: After months of teasing you, the review for the Sigelei #19 review is being put together as we speak.  Keep your eyes peeled for a revealing and insightful review on Sigelei and this Mechanical Mod!

Update 8/23/2013: The Sigelei #19 Review is UP!  Go get it HERE...

Also (and I eluded to this in a recent post), Tasty Vapers! is now averaging in excess of 11,000 Unique visitors every month and with that kind of readership comes opportunities for sponsorship and other relationships to be formed with makers and sellers alike.  And while I'll never take a penny to review a product, I expect to see more products made available to me at no cost.  Free is always nice, but good reviews only come from honesty, not from money.

As always, thank  you for your support, thank you for your comments and thank you for Liking it, Tweeting it, Sharing it, +1ing it and telling your dog about it, etc...  ;)

Without the support of your dog (errr, you), we wouldn't be where we are today!  ;)

Kanger EVOD Review

UPDATE: Please participate in our anonymous POLL.  It's for a really good cause!

If you've been reading this Blog, you know that I'm in love with the Kanger ProTank.  Sure, it's got some really tiny issues, but they're nothing, compared to some other devices.

For the first time since I started Vaping, I've finally got something that produces excellent flavor, excellent Vapor, excellent throat hit and lasts a really, really long time between changing out atomizer heads.

But the ProTank can cost between $15 & $23 depending on where you get them from.

The reason that I wanted to test the EVOD out, is because:

My Discoveries about Vaping so far

My discoveries about Vaping in general are quite interesting...

Here are some of the many things I did to educate myself on eCigs:

1. I spent many, many hours watching videos, tutorials & reviews on YouTube
2. I purchased many "beginner" devices in the hopes of finding something reliable
3. I purchased my first Variable Voltage battery in hopes of improving #2
4. I purchased my first ReBuildable Atomizer in hopes of improving #2 & #3
5. I purchased my first Mechanical Mod in hopes of improving #2, #3 & #4
6. I purchased my second ReBuildable Atomizer in hopes of improving #2, #3, #4 & #5
7. I have purchased numerous eLiquids in the hopes of improving #2, #3, #4, #5 & #6
8. I joined an online forum to LEARN from other people with more experience Vaping

But in the end, both everything and nothing listed above is what has finally provided me with a real, normalized, happy Vaping experience.

I say "everything", because something from each of those steps got me where I am now.
I say "nothing", because I managed to figure out certain things all by myself.

If you're like me and you need lots of information, I highly recommend you read-up on every device, eJuice, battery, technology, everything you can find.  If you just wanna Vape, that's great too.

As long as you can get away from the nasty Analogs, it's a good thing, right?
