Flavor concentrate “Blue Raspberry Slush” by One Stop Do It Yourself Shop (OSDIY) has the wrong specific gravity listed in our database. It isn’t PG based. It’s 67% VG based. SG should be readjusted to 1.16 as per the MSDS on OSDIY’s website.

Slippery slope seeing how it will throw a wrench in all existing recipes.

I have to give credit where credit is due, and TFA does a bang up job on lots of flavors and they are priced right while being a good strength. On that note, I largely stay away from CAP flavors for the opposite reasons (with few exceptions).

Sweetener being one of those exceptions. I don’t use sweetener much, but whrn I do, it really burns my back side to pay double for a sweetener of all things, but CAP’s is leaps and bounds better than TFA’s. Anyone else with me on this?

Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Laisimo Panda RDTA that was sent directly from http://www.laisimo.com for the purpose of this review. More details can be found here:
http://www.laisimo.com/goods-65.html

If you want to find out really quick my overall conclusion you can scroll down to the Pros and Cons section and Conclusion to save you some time.

Specs:

• 25mm diameter
• 46.5mm high from 510 to drip tip. 43mm high to drip tip not counting 510
• 4ml capacity (measured just a bit over 4ml verified with syringe)
• 810 drip tip compatible with inner o’ring for proper fit with friction fit 810 drip tips
• (4) 3mm adjustable airflow, 2 on each side
• Velocity style deck with centered fill hole and fill plug

What’s in the box:

Now I was told by Laisimo that the Panda I received was fresh off the production line and there packaging was not yet completed before they sent it to me. I will let you know what I received but it may differ slightly from the production models.

• (2) replacement o’rings
• Allen wrench
• (2) replacement grub screws
• And of course the Panda RDTA

First impressions

gCItFN2.jpg?1519x849

Right out of the box the first thing I did was break it down to give a thorough cleaning, I didn’t get any off smells from it though so looks like they did a good job of cleaning at the factory but habits are habits.

z3MK79I.jpg2048x1152

It is put together pretty well and went back together easily. Here is a pic of the build deck and inside top cap after reassembly with the juice fill up plug in place:

VpK9Wui.jpg2048x1152

With the plug removed to fill up:

YDLdhia.jpg2048x1152

The o’rings to hold on the top cap are firm enough to pick up the tank by the top cap without fear of it coming off but not so firm you have trouble removing it. There is also a notch on the top cap and deck used to align the airflow, just put on the top cap and twist with downward pressure until it locks into place, pretty cool.

Base notch

G71KIfb.jpg1144x710

Now the 510 is NOT hybrid compatible as it is really deep in there, in use though I never had any problem connecting to any mod though and I tried a lot when I saw how recessed the 510 was.

RGoWybz.jpg2048x1152

I did find the airflow control to be difficult to adjust as there is no knurling on the top to get a grip. I thought it might loosen over time but that wasn’t the case, the adjust the AFC I had to pull it out, adjust and then push it back down. Since I generally keep my AFC at the same place once I find my sweet spot I did not find it a nuisance but it needs to be mentioned.

The included 810 drip tip is not too tall or too short, I used it most of the time during my review period and it felt comfortable.

Now onto the Panda logo which either you will like or not. For me I thought it was too cute for a macho bastard such as myself. The engraving is done really well and deep, no way to rub that off or sand it down. I am thinking it should also warrant a discount on some delicious Orange Chicken at Panda Express, I didn’t try it but anything that potentially gets me more Orange Chicken is a win in my book.
Sure I got some teasing but then I ripped a huge cload and told them to shut up, me and my Panda are gonna rock out over here and you all can suck it!

The builds and performance

I started off with some SS316L staggered fused claptons from advancedvapesupply.com. Not that these are my favorite as they are springy as all get out but they do perform well after you bitch and moan from trying to line them up.

iw0nthA.jpg?21136x808

Started off vaping with the fill up port in place and was all happy go lucky until I had to refill and grabbed that plug while it was still hot…ouch! That plug also acts as a quasi spit guard so since I generally am not a fan of spit guards I filled up and left it off. Can’t say I missed it and never put it back on with no ill effects after 3 weeks of testing.

The flavor and vapor was good but then decided to try some N80 Alpha Braid coils I had received from Geekvape.

XMpPxmI.jpg2048x1152

The Alpha Braid are interesting coils, first time using them but ehhhh, wasn’t feeling it so onto the next build.

Since I had just recoiled 3 different RDA’s including my original Goon with the same advancedvapesupply.com Quad Core Fused Claptons I decided to use the same build in the Panda to see how it stacks up.

wtU6zM7.jpg2048x1152

Now were talking, definite flavor increase and to be honest I felt the flavor was every bit as good as my Authentic Goon using the same juice.

This is where I decided to compare why the flavor was as good to the Goon and found a lot of similarities with the top cap.

As you can see the shape is the same but the Panda is actually shorter (please excuse the tarnish on my Goon, trying to get it to match one of my mods)

ym4a3gC.jpg?11142x868

Both use 3mm round air holes, the goon just has 6 instead of 4 for the Panda but I run my Goon with 2 air holes a side for the best mix of flavor and clouds so that matches the Panda wide open.

IG0Kels.jpg2048x1152

The inside of the top caps are nearly the same.

SDN3pKw.jpg2048x1152

Really the main differences are goon deck vs velocity deck and one is an RDA vs RDTA.

Performance wise I was going back and forth with the same build, same mods using the same settings and couldn’t tell much of a difference at all. That is saying a lot since the Goon is so revered for it’s performance and with good reason.

I must add that the grub screws held firm through all 3 builds, I hate it when companies use cheap grub screws. Not a hint of stripping and I was able to crank down to make a solid connection which is always a good thing.

The fill system

GZsvKqe.jpg2048x1152

Filling up is easy with unicorn bottle and glass droppers, never had a problem with that and it is one of the easiest RDTA’s to fill up in that regard. The only problem I ran into was with the larger twist top bottles that some companies use like thesaucela.com.

Here is a pic for reference:

With these larger tops they can’t get past the velocity posts, impossible to use in this so you would have to transfer into another bottle or use a syringe. I know those are uncommon but I wanted to warn those that do use those tips, you will have to use something else.

Pros:

• Great flavor
• Top cap and base have indents so it is super easy to line up your air flow every time
• 810 drip tip compatible
• Panda logo deeply engraved and well done (if your into panda’s)
• Solid build quality
• Easy to refill with unicorn bottles and glass droppers
• O’Rings on base makes for easy removal but holds solid
• Useful included 810 drip tip, didn’t feel the need to replace it

Cons:

• Not possible to fill with wide twist cap bottles
• Oring for AFC too tight with no knurling on top to grip onto
• Panda Logo (If your not into Panda’s)
• 510 is too recessed, not even close to hybrid compatible
• Not sure if it will get me a discount off my meal at Panda Express. Maybe if the server is a cute vaper girl but then she might want my Panda RDTA, she better be really cute…hehe

Conclusion

Now I am not going to say that the Panda RDTA will blow away any other RDTA on the market today. You also have to take into consideration if the Panda logo is for you or not. For me I did get attention for it, from guys it was…hahaha you like Panda’s, I said that’s right punk, you wanna throw down…J/K. From the ladies they thought it was cute and that is who I want attention from anyway…at least when my lady isn’t around…it is ok to window shop as long as you don’t try on the merchandise.

For Panda fan’s the performance of the Panda RDTA won’t leave you wanting, it may not be the biggest cloud chucker but the flavor is fantastic with the right build. If a Panda once stole your book bag then you may harbor resentment towards the Panda RDTA…I feel your pain…but it’s not your fault, let the Panda back into to your cold dead heart and rejoice!

I want to thank Laisimo for sending the Panda RDTA for review. You can find more info on it at there website: http://www.laisimo.com/goods-65.html

So far I have only found 1 pre-order for $22.99 as of this date here but I am sure more will be coming soon: https://www.efun.top/laisimo-panda-rdta-tank.html

If you’d like to check out http://www.steampugs.co.uk/ you can see how the Panda RDTA scored against other vape gear and meet the Steam Pugs team, awesome set of people and excellent reviews.

All the cookie/biscuit flavours I have have a hint of Cinnamon or mostly Acetyl Pyrazine to it. I am looking for a more buttery. slightly sweet/salty cookie/biscuit flavour without any hint of spice to it.

I want to try and replicate an Italian Sesame Cookie which is more of what I have described in finished biscuit flavour along with a few other flavours (Sesame, Vanilla and a hint of Anise) that give it, it’s finished overall taste.

Thought about Sugar Cookie V2 (Cap) but a few reviews says it has that spicy note on the inhale I am trying to avoid. So any suggestion of cookie or biscuit flavours you have tried that fit the profile I am looking for I would be grateful. As I don’t want to buy half a dozen more cookie/biscuit flavours and still end up disappointed again.

I have already tried

Biscotti (FA)
Cookie Butter( FW)
Sugar Cookie V1 (Cap)
Oatmeal Cookie (FA)
Biscuit (INW)

and none of these have worked how I would have hoped.Due to the AP or the spicy note in their finished flavour.

Now, before y’all start sending me links or telling me to " look it up " I already have looked it up.

Now that, that is out of the way, has anybody tried this before?


It is a food saver. I sucks the air out. I am gonna give it a try but the only problem is the container isn’t made for liquids. Now I do have an attachment for mason jars, but I couldn’t figure it out.

If any body has some info on this type of storage, let me know.

Thanks peeps. Peace, Love and Happiness
Daniel

Ok, small edit. The container with the lid does not work. after a few hours the air leaks in, So I figured out how to do it with a mason jar. It is a whole other attachment. It works beautifully though. If any one wants to see the attachment, let me know and I will post pics.

After ordering over a hundred flavors since I started mixing. I have stayed away from chocolate because most say that it is a hard flavor and there are a lot of really bad ones. I like all chocolates. Dark, milk, white. I just want to start of with some that taste somewhat good and are the easiest to work with. If that is possible. Any advice would be very appreciated.

The Joyetech Exceed D19 starter kit comes with a 1500mAh Exceed D19 battery and a 2ml Exceed D19 atomizer.

The device comes with all the books cards and cables PLUS an Exceed D19 Sticker!

Take a look at the vent hole, it can be closed so small it makes for a perfect MTL.

This In my opinion is the best starter kit available. I’ts small but really produces. The tank gives great flavor, in part (I think) because of the small volume. It is easy to refill. and the 1500mah battery lasts a good long time. It is a small mod much smaller than the eGo but again IMO works much better. The coil is smaller but works better also than the BF coils for the eGo and produces perfect vapor with no spitback . The entire device is just 4 1/2" long from the bottom of the battery to the top of the drip tip, so it fits easily into your pocket. Again like the eGo devices there are no adjustments to confuse someone just getting started vaping. The only setting that can be changed is direct battery power or regulated power, when regulated power is active the device gives the same vapor output when fully charged as it does when the battery is almost drained. There is an LED light between the tank and the battery that appears white (direct power) and gold (regulated power).

Tasty mango with cream

PLEASE HELP ME!

Hello, if you are seeing this, it is probably because I linked you from another forum for some help. I am trying to create a tasty DIY Nicotine Salts E-juice. I will be using Bavarian Cream and Sweet Mango. I am completely new to Nicotine Salts and I am in desperate need of a veteran. I know enough about nicotine salts vs Free base nic, but I am still unfamiliar with the specifics in the chemistry and how the reactions work.

First off, Do i need other ingredients than what I have (such as benzoic Acid), and how do I apply them

What strength nicotine should I get (i.e 48mg/mL 60mg/mL 100mg/mL). I was going to get 100

I am trying to make this a 60nic juice (60%)
The juice will be used to refill Pod Mod Low Wattage devices. Thanks for all the help guys!

…at least it was interesting to me :]
Picked up a DigiFlavor Pharaoh RTA recently and had been having a heck of a time with wicking and juice flow. Figured out quickly that vapor lock was playing a role, as popping the top cap breaks the lock momentarily allows the juice to flow.
Anyway, pulled the tank off the deck for a rinsing, and with the top cap in place and about a 1/4" of juice between the glass and the chimney, holding upright, the juice did not leak down through the slots until I had rolled the tank around a bit.

I have a few people interested in beginning to vape, and want to give them good advice on entry level hardware.
I started vaping a little more than a year ago, and while satisfied with the Coolfire IV TC100 and still use the first one, I quickly moved away from stock coils. Also, I vaped direct lung right away.
Anyway, having no experience with MTL, and little familiarity with entry level setups, and a brain swimming (and drowning) in the endless choices on the market, I thought I’d ask some of you for guidance.
What mod/tank do you recommend to beginners who come to you?
A couple of the interested parties are not tinkerers at all, while another may end up in the rabbit hole. So simplicity on the one hand, and expandability on the other hand, but all a stable and satisfactory early experience. They are all long time smokers, and we’d hate to run them off unnecessarily.
Thanks in advance.

I’ve had the mod for a few weeks now, and while I love it there are a couple of quirks that I have some questions about.

Firstly, the ohm reading will show .36 while idle, but when I fire it will lower to .32 as soon as I stop firing it goes back to .36 what gives? It is making me believe that the mod is showing an incorrect reading.

Second, the AMP reading only shows when you are firing, as soon as you stop firing it zeros out again. What is the use of this if you can’t see it while vaping?

Hello friends! Why yes, it is a pod in my pocket (but I am also happy to see you ).

Today I’ll be sharing with you the C-FLAT Pod Kit which was sent to me from Vaptio for this review. If I can find it…it’s quite small.

Now lets admit, sometimes good things come in small packages. So I set out to give the C-FLAT a fair shake.
First of all, its small. Yeah, we covered that. But that’s the point of an all in one kit like this so we’ll count that as a plus! Its pocket friendly as fuck. Part of it’s pocket friendliness is that there is literally one button to press. And the button is ever so slightly recessed so it’s not likely to accidentally fire in your pocket (although I’d still recommend that you lock it before you pocket. 5 clicks off/on). There are no controls other than the fire button so no worries about pocket dialing your wattage or anything. With a fully charged battery (which has a tiny capacity of 350mAh) you can expect up to a whopping 15 watts of power. Wooowee calm down there buddy! (Sorry, that was a bit snarky…) And speaking of small, the coil in this little guy is about the size of a pencil eraser…if that.

As you can imagine, I didn’t have high hopes for this device but I have to say, the amount of vapor that this itty bitty coil can produce actually impressed me! The flavor is ok, nothing to write home about, but it could be worse. On a scale of 1 (no flavor) to 10 (OMFG flavor), I’d give it a 5. The refillable juice cartridge is not really able to be cleaned and the coil is built into it. So ideally you would vape one kind of juice (or multiple juices with complimentary flavor profiles) until your coil needs to be changed. At that point the entire cartridge/coil gets thrown out and replaced.

Vaptio claims that this can be used for mouth to lung or direct to lung vaping…by flipping it over…?

Hmmm… I flipped and flopped all over the damn place and didn’t really notice much difference other than if your button is riding on top the mouthpiece delivers the vapor toward your tongue rather than the roof of your mouth. Apparently with the button on the underside its DTL and with the button on top its MTL. Really though, since there’s no way to change the airflow it really just boils down which finger you like to flick your fun button with.

As I mentioned, the battery capacity is only 350mAh, so don’t expect to get away with an all night marathon of chain vaping on it. There is pass through charging though, so that’s a saving grace. From completely dead, the battery takes about an hour and a half to charge (assuming you’re not vaping on it during that time. Seriously, give the poor thing a breather already. Geez…).

So let’s have a closer look at this little guy.

The coil/cartridge snaps down into the top of the battery section. Two metal prongs make the connection with the bottom of the cartridge, providing power to the coil.

The top cap/mouthpiece snaps down over the coil/cartridge. On the top (bottom?) of the cap there is an open slit that doubles as your airflow opening and a window to see your juice level. Unfortunately its so small that unless you shine a light into it, its very difficult to actually see how much juice you have left. Not a big problem though, since you can just pop off the top and take a peek.

There is a green light down towards the bottom of the battery section that is lit while you’re firing and charging. And the charging port is on the very bottom end.

And that’s about it! Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, definitely nothing extra.
Now, who would a piece of gear like this be good for?

I can think of two main groups of people:
1.) Stealth vapers. With a high pg, high nic eliquid, you could easily get away with vaping here there and everywhere. The higher pg will reduce the amount of visible vapor and since you get such a mild vape from it you can easily bump up your nicotine for a quick fix without a nasty throat hit. I vape mostly 1mg nic eliquid and my throat had no problem handling a load of 9mg juice from this setup.
2.) New vapers, and especially those with cigarette damaged lungs. This is a gentle vape. A lot of starter kits being put onto the market are actually quite powerful and may be too much to handle for people who’s lungs are damaged from years of heavy smoking. Its also obviously simple, so a new vaper trying to kick the cancer sticks won’t have to worry about multiple options and settings. With the snap in coil it couldn’t be any easier.

Pros:
Pocket friendly
Simple click together assembly
Decent vapor production
Pass-through charging

Cons:
Plastic body and tank
Small battery capacity
Less than optimal flavor

If you’d like to try the C-FLAT out for yourself or pick one up for a friend who wants to quit smoking with vaping, you can find it for $39.99 here:

Or… win one!
I will be giving away a C-FLAT Pod Kit to one lucky little ELR member. If you’d like a chance at the drawing, head over to my C-FLAT review on the Steampugs site and leave a one word comment that you feel best describes the C-FLAT, as well as your ELR screen name. The drawing will take place on Friday, October 27th right here. Good luck!
