Cloud comp

Hey it ends in two days, so if you want a free bottle of juice and a feature article on the blog submit your cloud videos to surfvaperdude1@gmail.com and you could win. The rules are in a older post so get chuckin those clouds and submit your videos.

Found my stuff

Hey I found all my stuff, expect one or two reviews today later or tomorrow. Probably will be today so look for that.

I have been going through a very bad apathy spell so please be patient with me as I will probably not care about anything. I have been building less, been less excited about vaping, and I have been in an extreme rut recently. So please forgive me if I do or say something that is stupid or depressing.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Jamie XX and status on reviews

So if you haven't noticed already I normally take the weekend off. So that is why you don't get any posts on the weekend. I currently lost track of my flavor testing mod, so that sucks, it is probably in my room somewhere or, well I don't know. I will however review Jamie XX. I think that he is super chill, lots of trap influences, but he still retains that EDM type rhythm. so he is a EDM TRAP artist. His music is supper chill and trippy at the same time. He also does some chill-step and ambient EDM. I really like him and you should check him out. I will look for my stuff when I get home which will be soon so look for a juice review or two, I am backed up on my reviews.

Cloud Mouth E-Liquid

Hey everybody how is it going? Today I will be reviewing Cloud Mouth E-Liquid. Thank you Joe Freitas for making and sending these juices to me. These juices are all 30/70 pg/vg  and they all taste and smell great. Some juices smell really good and then end up having bad taste, but that is not the case with Cloud Mouth. The company has been officially running for two months and they are based out of Oklahoma. You can buy their juices at www.cloudmouthvapes.com  and they are having a giveaway for their 1000 likes on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/cloudmouthvapes. The story behind the company is amazing and it should be shared but it is a tad bit long, so I will summarize it.

So Joe works at a restaurant and one night he is super frustrated, so he goes out side and bums a cigarette from a co-worker. Three days later he is smoking 1 pack a day again. He had quit cold turkey 6 years earlier and that is why this sucks so much. So he was smoking for 7 months after that before he finally gave vaping a try(hurrah). So he bought a starter kit and two juices. After a while he realized that the juices were lacking in flavor. So he did some research and got a DIY kit, and at first his juices were not good, but after a while he started getting the hang of it. He approached it from a food standpoint and he thought what good food flavors would taste good together. So one day he was vaping on his juice and someone smelt it and immediately bought all the juice he had on him. This is when he realized he had something that was good. So he partnered up and started Cloud Mouth.
It this isn't a typical "American Dream" story then I don't know what is anymore.
On to the review.

Arousal
The flavor profile that I was given described this as, "A creamy delicious mixture of sweet creams, ripened banana and cinnamon. At first I was thinking that this would be a similar juice to Magestic E-juices' "King Kong" which I hated. Luckily it was nothing like it. It is far sweeter than the dreaded "King Kong" and it has a much more subtle tone of cinnamon which is very nice. It is sweet and creamy and it certainly does arouse my taste buds.

Satisfaction
This juice is described as, "A satisfying combination of dragon fruit, strawberry, and pear with a hint of orange that will satisfy the most indulgent of palettes". Great job. I definitely get the pear and dragon fruit immediately when I take the hit, and what I like are when juices have a nice after taste. This one has the orange and strawberry on the exhale and has a lingering sweet taste that is very subtle and nice.

Tawdry
The description on this one is, "A creamy vanilla hazelnut that is so good it must be naughty just like a tawdry little affair". And this one is great and it definitely is very close to the description. It is a richer more full flavor that is rewardingly nutty. I like it because it still has that vanilla sweetness, but it has a more deep flavor that is very nice to have in an e-liquid.

Sicilian Lemon Pound Cake
The flavor profile for this one is, "A deliciously light and airy pound cake that embraces the juice of Sicilian lemons in such a way that allows you to almost smell the sunshine. Finished off with a dusting of powered sugar to give it a sweetness that keeps you coming back for more". This one is my favorite of the bunch. It tastes and smells exactly like a lemon pound cake that is dusted with sugar. It is exactly like the description and it is quite a complex flavor. I get the lemon immediately and then the rich cake follows right behind that. Then on the exhale you get that sweet taste of sugar that brings it all together in a culmination of delicious flavor. Seriously a great juice.

Now all of these were really good and I would highly recommend checking out the site linked above. I was told that I should steep these a little, which I will do, but I tested them before they were fully aged and they still taste amazing. So go check out that website and enter in the giveaway if you want some really good juices.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Update on cloud comp

You know you could also just send me a pic and I can judge that too. It might be hard to send a video file through e-mail.

Come Follow Me

Hey everyone if you have a twitter or a facebook you can follow or friend me and see what goes on behind the scenes so to speak. My twitter is @HQ_Vape_Reviews and my facebook is Justin Dake with the pic of the cigarette smoking man that is vaping(X-Files joke).

Thank you all

Over 1000 views! Great job guys, I just want to thank you all for being such great devoted readers. This is a great milestone for me and I just want to humbly say that without you guys I would be far less happy.

Here is what I am going to do for this accomplishment: If you think that you can win a cloud comp then send a vid of your best cloud comp exhale. Do it in a dark background, with about 7 or 8 feet for distance. Take 5 sec. hits, you get two hits and it can be any liquid as long as the build is safe. Just make a vid, send it to surfvaperdude1@gmail.com with a description of the build and I will choose a winner. The winner will get a personal post all about the build you use and what mod/atty combo you used.    May the best build win and good luck.  Winner will be chosen on October 25th.

Remember to have a great day and I think you have enjoyed it so far. hehee

Sorry

Sorry guys no mail today. :(

New juices

So I should be getting home soon and I will have a review out later tonight or tomorrow if it is in the mail.

Buying from fasttech

I love fasttech, fasttech prices at least. The quality is ok, with the stuff that I got from them it was good quality, but I have heard stories about not so good quality stuff. They are slow as a snail. The joke is Slowtech, hahah. But for the prices on most of their stuff it is worth it in my opinion. There is an american based site called 101vape.com which is really nice because they have relatively low prices and the shipping is fast. They have a good sized selection of products. Fasttech has a larger selection, but they are all cheap. Fasttech also sells non vape related electronic equipment so they are not vape only.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Thom Yorke new album

Hi everybody how are you? Today is a music review day. Tomorrow's Modern Boxes is Thom Yorke's newest single album and it is awesome. It is similar to The Eraser but it has more harmonic notes to it. It is a great album and I love it so far. The best two songs on the album in my opinion are Interference and Pink Selection. They are very tech/ ambient orientated and they have Thom's voice on it a lot so it is always nice to hear him sing. Now the politics behind this album are kind of funny. You have to torrent it to get the album, but you still pay for it. He released it on Bit-torrent and it is like a five dollar fee I think. I just regular torrented it and it is great. I highly recommend giving this album a listen.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Hey guys

So tomorrow will be the 4 week mark and I am pretty sure we can get up to 1000 views by then, so share and re-share the blog and check in every so often, I might be having an new juice come in the mail around 3:30 but I will probably be home around 5:15 so look for one then. Also I am going to do a piece on Herbert's Lemonade tomorrow and a piece on how to grill kabobs. Also look for a music review tomorrow on Thom Yorke's new album Tomorrow's Modern Boxes.

I just made a box mod

As the title says, I just finished making a box mod about three hours ago. It took me three hours to make so it has been six hours since this thing was conceived. I used an Altoids can and an 18650 battery. I also used a super old switch that is capable of handling about 50A so that is good. However the connector is an ego connector, so that could be a problem. It actually hits pretty good. I am very satisfied with it.

Hehehehehehe it is cool huh?

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

MXJO 18650

Hey everybody how is it going? Now there is a lot of controversy about this battery. This MXJO 18650 35A 2500mah as it is advertised is a great battery. I love it, a lot, but there are some thing about it that are fishy. For instance the MXJO company seemingly sprung up out of nowhere. This alone is leading people to believe that these are re-wrapped LG H2 or the Efest. My opinion: I think these are factory made batteries, not re-branded second hand crap. However that leads us to the next thing, it is really a 20A continuous discharge battery and the pulse rating is at 35A. This is in no way a bad thing, these things hit hard and can handle a lot. The reason they hit hard is their low internal resistance. I don't have the exact numbers, but it is lower than most competing batteries these days. Which means that it will hit harder because it isn't fighting itself to release its energy. I like these batteries a lot and I would recommend them, however just be safe with those super sub ohm builds, use your brain.

I will be doing a review on the IMREN 38A 2600mah 18650 soon, I am just waiting on a response by the manufacturer to see what the continuous or pulse rating is on it, because I can't find anything other than a 38A rating anywhere. That worries me, it could be a lower continuous rating, which would be fine. It could also be a higher pulse rating which would be amazing and make this the best battery around. However when I compare it to the MXJO I notice that the MXJO hits harder, it could be because of the lower internal resistance, or it could be that the IMREN has a lower continuous rating, or a combo of the two.

What is up with Water Mains?

Why the frick are water mains breaking in LA so much? California is in a drought and the state government doesn't think it is a good idea to replace old water mains. What the hell. When those things break they spew out thousands and thousands of gallons of water every minute. It would be far less costly to simply turn off the water, open up the ground, and replace the main than it would be to have to clean up after every time one breaks. Seriously come on. California and LA politicians and city planners need to get a clue if they want to try to save water instead of it being wasted on a busted main. I am pretty damn tired of it.

I might review two batteries soon, I am currently in contact with the manufacturer of one because it is the new and highly controversial MXJO 18650 which claims 35A and 2500mah.

Remember to have a great day and I hope you enjoy.

Orchid RTA

Hey everyone, today I will be reviewing the Orchid RTA. It is an amazing kayfun type RTA that has two air holes and has dual coil capability. With its four juice channels it means that there are less possibility for dry fires. I have not had one dry fire on this thing yet. I can take a 12 second hit on it, which is unheard of, and it doesn't taste burnt at all. It is definitely a tighter draw than I am used to, but it still has outstanding vapor production. I am using 6 wraps 26g kanthal around 1/8th and it is just perfect. The flavor on this thing is amazing and the vapor production is great too. I like that when I use it with my 4Nine mod I can just pull it out of my pocket, vape, put it back in when I am done and not worry about having to drip on it. It holds about 3ml of liquid in its tank and it lasts me for a long time. It looks amazing and it is extremely stylish, it looks great on my 4Nine. I have the V2 version which has the bottom filling hole and that is super nice. The V1 doesn't have that feature so I would get a V2 and above. The V3 and V4 versions hold more juice and are differently designed. They are less rounded and look more like a kayfun. You can get them anywhere on the internet, but I got mine from fasttech for like 12$. Tobecco and a company named Aethertech make clones and they are the main ones that I have seen. I believe an authentic one sells for around 100$, which I think is a waste of money, but I always buy clones. That saves money so I can buy more juice.

The one at the top is the V2 version and this one is the V3, see how they look different.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

J Sauce

Hey everyone how is it going? This is a picture of two of my mixed e-juices that I will call J Sauce. I am thinking of making this on a wider scale by buying some more of the base liquids, but I need more money. This juice is amazing. I will not tell the specifics of the base e-liquids in it, but I will describe how it tastes and vapes. The bottle on the right is around 5-7mg nicotine level and the one on the left is around 3.5-5mg. They both are the same flavor. It is a rich buttery custard with super sweet melon, strawberry, apple, blueberry, mango, and some secret sweetness. I am thinking of making another flavor that will have some cooling menthol undertones with less custard in it. Like I said I need money to start making these on a larger scale. If you would like to donate please check out my Go Fund Me. If you would like to invest and pre-order a batch of those two flavors listed above you can email me at surfvaperdude1@gmail.com. The juice that I have right now will be called Fruity Baby.

As always remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Flavor Explosion e-juice

Hi everyone, so today I am reviewing the best line of e-juices that I have tried so far, ever. These juices are amazing and I am so grateful for Janie sending me these. They are literally the best, the best, liquids that I have tried ever. They are all sweet which I like, I love my sweet vapes. You can purchase these juices on their website http://www.flavorexplosion.net/ and they are are all pretty well priced. The company has been officially up and running for about 6 months and they are stationed out of good old Toledo OH. Now lets get on with the review.

Butter Puff
I don't think that this one is officially on the menu list so it might be a secret. It is pretty good. This one isn't as sweet as the other ones but that is ok. It is like a butterscotch or a creamy butter. When you hear that you might think that it wouldn't taste good but it does. This is my least favorite one of the samples, but even still it tastes good. A solid juice.

Banana Cream Pie
I love bananas, I don't know if I mentioned that before, but I do. This one is sweet, which it should be because banana cream pie is supposed to be sweet and creamy. This juice translates that extremely well. It has a nice aftertaste that will leave the taste of bananas for like a minute after you took a drag on your vape. This is my fourth favorite out of five juices, not because it isn't good, but because the other juices are better so they beat it out.

Monkey's Milk
This is a nice tropical creamy flavor that tastes great. It has banana, milk chocolate, and cream in its flavor base. These all combine to make a sweet, rich vape that is very good. I like this juice a lot and I can vape on it all day long.

Red White and Blue
This juice is my second favorite juice. It is a sweet vape that has some fruity nodes as well as possibly a candy taste. It is peach, cranberry, coconut, and blueberry swirls that will make you drool and want more. I love this flavor and I have used it to mix in my special blend juice that only I vape. No one, and I mean no one is aloud to even touch my special blend. This juice has the privilege of being apart of the mix. Great juice that is an all day vape.

Angel's Breath
My favorite juice in the whole collection. This juice is amazing and I can not stop vaping it. Literally I will need to go to class and say "one more hit" then repeat that like five times. I can not put this juice down. It is a nice tropical sweet juice that includes honeysuckle, melon, and mango. Those three flavors are amazing on their own, but when you combine it, it just becomes something more, something magical. These all have 0 nicotine in them, but this flavor is still addicting based on taste alone. This is also in my special blend mix and is probably the best juice I have ever tasted.

Thank you Janie and remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

4nine Mod

This mod is a beast, a beast. It has a magnetic button switch so it doesn't need any locking ring, so I can just put it in my pocket and pull it out whenever I want. It has no top pin so whatever atty you use it directly connects to the battery. This helps maintain the voltage instead of having a voltage drop. It feels smaller than my Nemesis and it fits in my hand perfectly. There aren't any buttons that you have to take apart to fix any pins and that is a huge plus in my book. It has a brass top  with a stainless steel tube and the button is copper. So it has three different metals in it which I guess is pretty common and it still hits hard. I tried it with my igo-w and with my new orchid RTA and they both hit hard on it. I will do a review of the orchid soon so look for that. It is a nice looking mod and it functions very well.

Little monkey/lemur symbol on the button.

I need to do a juice review that someone is waiting on. Also new facebook account so check that out. Look up Justin Dake, it is the dude with the vape.

Today is a big day

Hey everyone, today I will probably be doing about 4 different reviews. Yes I said 4, two on juice lines, one on a mod, and one on a RTA. I got my stuff in the mail from china. Also if you follow me on Facebook, they kicked me out temporarily because I am not using a human name, I am using the name of the blog. So if you follow me on Facebook please write a post to my timeline that they kicked me out so that my friends don't freak out that I am not on it.

UPDATE: You know what, today I am going to binge post, it probably will be more than four so yeah. Stupid facebook cuts me off from most of my fan base, what the hell!

Blood Moon

Hi everyone, have I got a story for you. First off you may or may not know that last night was a lunar eclipse, which produces a red or orange colored moon. Now in ancient times when this happened some civilizations thought it marked the end of the world or some cataclysmic event. Now the Egyptians and Mayans and those sort of extinct civilizations were all smart, but nothing ever happened so there is no need for alarm. This event does however make for some great photography opportunities, if you can stay up late, which is where the story comes in.

I had known about this for about a week or two and I was planning on staying up late for it to take some pictures. Everything was going great, I was listening to Coast to Coast with George Noory and I had some stronger level nicotine juice to vape on. Normally I vape 0-6mg, but this one had about 10mg. So the event was supposed to start at 2:15 am and hit its peak at 3:15 am. Great, on track, doing great. Then I pass out, bummer right? Not, somehow I programmed my brain to wake up at 3:00 am because out of nowhere I wake up at 3:27. It was a little after the peak, but I am not complaining because this is pretty damn rare for it to happen in a place where you can see it. Normally all these astrological events happen in china or Australia, but this time it happened here. So I quickly got aware that I had woken up so that I didn't fall back to sleep. I went and got my 5th gen iPod touch, and snapped some crappy low res photos, yay! >:(  It is better than nothing though.

So below is the crappy iPod photo and above is a professional picture that I am going to guess was taken with a DSLR.

P.S. I'll upload the crappy ones tonight.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

this is awesome

Words do not express how funny and awesome this is. hahahahaha

upcoming

Hey everyone, I should have one maybe two reviews out tomorrow, maybe. But look forward to that. Plus I will be reviewing the EDM band Blackmill, they are more chill rhythmic EDM, but still.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

G2 Vapor

Hey everyone, how is it going? Today I will be reviewing 3 juices by G2 Vapor and in another post I will review 2 juices by the same company, but from a different line. You can check out all thier flavors at http://www.g2vapor.com/.

DR. Green
This juice is pretty good. I got a 6mg test sample and it was very tasty. It is kind of a apple jolly rancher with some other fruit thrown in there. It is not super sweet which is ok because sometimes too much is too much. It is a little sower which is good because it tastes almost exactly like an apple jolly rancher. I like this juice a lot.

Blue Pop Shock
This one is really good too. It is a blue raspberry type bubble gum sucker. It is sweeter than the Dr. Green and it is a very good vape. It has a sort of raspberry pop rock in it too which is why I guess they named it to resemble that.  Good juice, makes big clouds, and the flavor is great too.

Mr. Cookie
This is a sweeter more custardy flavor. It is cookies and it tastes like cookies so it is pretty nice. I like that it is a fuller, more warm vape flavor since I like my warm vapes. It produces lots of clouds and it is pretty tasty. It has a strong custard flavor, not much cookie going on, but it is still good.

Celtic Cloud Vaping

Hey everyone, I am excited to announce that this is the first of many to come of juice line reviews. Today's pick of juices was sent by Celtic Cloud Vaping. They are a new company who started out in March of this year. They are stationed out of Pennsylvania and they don't have any west coast sellers that I am aware of. They have a website where you can get a bio and purchase some pretty good juices at http://www.celticcloudvaping.com/. I was sent the three sample flavors very quickly so that means that they are on top of their shipping. That is a huge plus when you are buying from online places since we all know that vape mail is notoriously late, but that was not the case with Celtic Cloud. Now on to the review....

Root Beer Float
Just to set some background info: I AM A ROOT BEER SNOB!!!! I taste different type of root beers, I find obscure brands and then I drink them and compare them to others, heck I even brew my own root beer. That being said, this root beer float flavor is simply amazing. I got it around 3:30 and it is half gone already. It is a full bodied root beer with a hint of vanilla which is good. I am more inclined to drink spiced root beer, which is root beer made with brown sugar or cinnamon, and this e-juice flavor has somehow translated some of my favorite qualities that root beer has. I could vape on this flavor all day long and I probably will buy more when I run out. Overall a great flavor with full bodied hit. I must say for a 50/50 pg/vg these juices made a lot of vapor, or it could be my built.

Grape Vines
I love grapes, grape soda, grape jelly, grape candy. Everything grapes. So when I tried this juice I thought it was just going to be some run of the mill grape flavor. It was not so. It was really good, it tasted like those grape jelly beans that you get during Easter. It was sweet, but when you have grapes you expect it to be sweet. Great flavor and once again surprisingly good vapor production. This one had .6% nicotine in it and it wasn't harsh at all. Very good juice.

Mounds
The good old chocolate covered coconut candy bar that we all love. I was skeptical that this one would be good, but once again it was very good. It tastes a lot like coconut and there is a hint of chocolate, but it isn't overpowering. It is an extremely nice vape because it was cool even though I had a pretty low ohm build. The one thing that I can say that could be improved on this juice is that it needs a little more sweetness and a little more coco. But like I said, a very good juice.

All and all these flavors were amazing. I strongly urge you all to check this company out on the website and to test some flavors. 

Thank you Celtic Cloud Vaping for sending these samples, they were greatly appreciated, and I will probably buy some in the future. 

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

VTC3

Hi everyone. I just got my new VTC3 in the mail from amazon. I guess batteries get here faster when you use amazon. I am still waiting on my first juices to arrive as well as my 4nine and my orchid rta. When I get everything I will write the reviews as fast as I can. All you regular readers know that I write extremely quick.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Sub and Super sub ohming

Warning: should only attempt if you are an experienced builder and have the right type of battery. So I am a super sub-ohmer. I like my .29-.39 ohm builds because they produce tons of vapor. That is the point of sub and super sub ohming. It gets really hot and it makes tons of vapor. Now normally if you are sub and super sub ohming the flavor is lost because of how hot it gets. However if you do an 11 wrap nano coil like I have then the flavor is superb and it makes tons of vapor. So you should only attempt low ohm builds if you are very well versed with ohm's law and you have a good battery that can handle high amps. The lower the ohm build the more amps are required to power it. I can not stress enough how important it is to have a good battery. Seriously, if the amps are too low it will blow up or vent or get super hot. No good. You can get lower ohms with lower gauge wire or with smaller diameter coils, or a combination of both. So if you are going to attempt this please be very careful.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

10 more

Come on so close.

Stuffed mushrooms

Hey everyone, stuffed mushrooms, is there a proper way to cook them? Yes. If you are going to cook stuffed mushrooms on a grill you should be very generous with the oil or non stick spray. They stick even with a good amount of oil on the foil. So as soon as you get those suckers on the heat move them on and off the foil at least twice so they don't stick as they cook. Most stuffed mushrooms are stuffed with cheese and veggies. Some you can buy in the store and others you can stuff yourself.

After this post I should have 400 hits! Yay!

First Week

So as you all devoted readers know, or you may not know, at 5:00pm tonight it will mark the end of the first week that this blog has been up. I only need like 40 more views to get to the 400th view. It would be amazing if we ended the first week with 400 hits. So tell all your friends, whether they vape or not, to check out the blog and tell their friends too. I will probably post another post about how to cook stuffed mushrooms on a grill soon so look forward to that. Keep reading guys, I am super stoked at how popular this is already. It took me about a year to get 900 hits on another blog about music. On that one however I was not as diligent as I am on this one. I took about a 5 month hiatus from the other one and I do not keep it up very well. That will not be the case with this one. I have been posting at lightning pace with this one. I have to admit it will be slowing down to probably one or two posts per day in the future. There is only so much you can review. Which is why I put "and other things" in the title. Thank you all.

BTW check out my two YouTube videos, they are on a post somewhere in here. There will be more on the way and eventually I hope to start doing some wire building tutorials on there as well. I think I may have thought of a new type of coil called the "Criss-Cross" coil. I will do a tutorial on it as soon as I tinker with it more and experiment. I will probably write a post on it as well.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

XXYYXX

Hey everyone, this one is about music. So the band XXYYXX is pretty cool. With their most popular tracks About You and Set It Off being super chill, ambient, techno with all sorts of heavy beats. Some people describe those songs as perfect for getting high. That is a very good description. They are supper funky and have sick beats that would definitely take you under nice and chill if you were getting high while listening to it. On their self titled album the hits are the ones I mentioned above, however I really like Fields which is off of the same album. Marcel Everett is the man behind the music, he is home grown in good old Orlando, Florida. With most trap and techno up and coming stars coming from across the Atlantic ocean and from other countries it is nice to know that there are still good American music producers. He technically has three full albums, but I would consider Still Sound and Mystify as being part albums. His self titled album is the only one that I would consider a "full album". He has three EPs and a few collaborations as well as remixes. He will be playing at the Observatory in October, however I sadly won't be going. Anyway check him out if you like good techno/ chill-step music. Or for all you wax and herb vapors out there listen to him next time you pack that in your herborizer of choice.

Stillare Clone

Hi everyone how is it going. Today I am going to review the Stillare RDA clone. Now before we start there are many companies that clone the Stillare. Tobeco, HCigar, and Infinite all make clones of the Stillare. It was originally made by Cartel to fit the Cartel mod. I believe mine was an Infinite clone, it was a beast of an atty. I broke mine though because I tried to re-straighten the center post because it spun a little. Now many in the Vaping community believe that the Stillare clone is one of the best cloned atties out there, I agree with them. This thing could handle a beating. There are many great things about this atty. In my opinion the first and main huge benefit is its slotted, adjustable airflow. It has two horizontal slots on each side of it that are adjustable. This has the benefit of getting air on all of most horizontally built coils. The next huge plus is the posts. They are gold plated and they have huge post holes. I could run a dual 22 gauge no problem because the post holes were huge. That brings us to why it is such a good clone. The insulator in the clones can handle low low ohm builds because it is a supper high quality material. This allows builds that can get super sub ohm without frying the insulator. It also has a pretty good sized juice well. It can hold lots of juice and can handle super sub ohm builds, what a deal. It comes in regular size which you can put on all 18650 type mods, and it also comes in a 26650 size for all you huge mod people out there. The new V3 has a tripple negative post design so you can build more coils on it, which is pretty cool. Now there is a V4 version out which has a quad negative post design, but in my oppinion that should only be used for the 28.5mm wide larger model, it seems like it would get crowded on a 22mm size one. Fasttech sells them from anywhere between $7.41 to around $14.00. Elsewhere they sell for around $22.00, and in most shops they sell from $20.00 to around $30.00. It is a great clone and it was made for the Cartel Mod so I'll post a pic of it on its own and one on a Cartel.

It kind of looks like a bullet when it is on its cartel mod.

Be Polite

Hey everyone hope you are having s super awesome day, I know I am. I am just chilling writing posts and keeping up on my social world related specifically to this blog. I created a twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google+, and a pintrest just go get people to hear about the blog. Lots of work. Anyway I just want to tell everyone to be polite when you vape in public. "But why should I"? You might ask. The reason is simple, be treated how you want to be treated. Most people who don't vape are fed lies about it. Some of those are: it has second hand vapor, it is anti-freeze, it blows up. None of those are true to an extent. It can blow up if you are being a knucklehead and running too low of an ohm. It also can give someone a nicotine buzz if you are in a tight closed off environment and you are chain vaping. So just be polite when you are in public and you are taking a few drags. Most people equate rudeness to smokers, and some see vapers as being just as rude. How are we going to spread the good news that it helps people quit and that it is way healthier than smoking if they are to disgusted to even listen?

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Taifun drip tip

I was recently given a taifun drip tip from a friend and I love it. It sure beats the other drip tip that I had which was a plastic one. This one is metal and it fits perfectly in my lips and it doesn't get hot at all. It looks nice on my Igo-W and it works well too. I also got a little creme brule flavor from another friend that is really nice. I mixed that together with my special blend of GQ: Eclipse and Nicks: Apple Cider. It is 1 part creme brule, 2 parts Nick's: Apple Cider, and 1 part GQ: Eclipse. It is absolutely amazing flavor wise, it is like a sweet rich pastry with berry cream filling. The after taste is a strong Eclipse, but the creme brule sticks in there too. It is just great. That is my go-to liquid that I have been talking about for a while. Seriously if you can get all the ingredients I suggest you try this mix of juices.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

New Equipment

Hey everyone how was your weekend? I took the day off yesterday because I was buying some stuff. Over the weekend I bought an Orchid RTA for my main flavor while everyone is sending me samples. Sort of a palate cleanser, something you know and love resets your taste-buds for a new flavor. I also happened to buy a 4nine mod clone. Some people say 49 others say 4nine. Either way I spent like 20 something dollars on my whole order from fasttech. I am really starting to love that website. Super super cheap gear, I haven't checked out the juice prices and selections, but if it is as good as the gear then fasttech is one of the best places to buy stuff. I also happened to buy a Sony VTC3 1600mah 30A battery from amazon for about 8 dollars. I basically got a whole new setup. I am so excited to start receiving these sample juices, the first of which should be here Wednesday. Believe it or not this will be my first vape mail. I will do in depth reviews on all the products i bought when they get here and I have time to analyze them. Until then I will primarily post concept pieces and some music reviews, possibly with a review on the Stillare clone.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Tobh Atty

Hey everyone how is it going? Today I am going to talk about the Atty by Tobh. It is a really good atomizer because of many things. The first is the design, it has 3 parts excluding the drip tip. The base has a copper center post connector and they have pretty large post holes that allow for building with higher gauge wire. There is one drawback that the base itself has, there are two tabs on each side that can get in the way of the airflow. The second part is the center tube which has 6 air-holes total on it, three on each side. I have found that on the older model that if you turn this center tube upside down that it can hold more juice and that its air holes are higher which makes better air-flow. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try this on the newer versions. It will leak if you do it on the new version. The third part is the top cap, which has a funnel shaped intake, and it has cooling bars on the outside which help keep the atty cool for those low ohm builds. Overall it hits pretty hard and it is pretty well priced. The new version has a laser engraved emblem of two lightning bolts. It makes it look like a Christmas tree. It is a pretty good atomizer and if you get the real one it handles low ohm builds nicely.

The pic above is the old version and this one is the 2.5 version.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Youtube

Finally I will be in youtube today. The first video is about the part one of about a 5 or 6 part series on vape tricks. I promised you guys some tutorials on those and I am starting them now. The second one is about the battery that I am using currently. Look for an update with the links.

The first one is at http://youtu.be/iGxljjEHsy0  and the second one is http://youtu.be/4vVND-xVgSg

2nd Bottle

I bought my second bottle of GQ Eclipse yesterday. I am really, really, reeeeaaaallllyyy liking that juice. I will be testing some other flavors from that line today or tomorrow ad Underground Vapors. I have gotten a third company that wants to send me samples now. Hopefully they all don't come at once, that would be a flavor overload. Really looking forward to testing these guys' juices out. I finished the very last of my Suicide Bunny: Sucker Punch. It tastes great, but I am still thinking that it is unhealthy. Please any companies with custard based e-liquids make sure there are no chemicals in them. Now that people know that there are some in Suicide Bunny they will probably be testing other custard based juices, so batter up the hatches if the same chemicals are in there. Or get a head start on trying to change the chemistry of your juices even before they get tested. The flood gates are now open. I might be testing a mech mod at the shop today, maybe a Fuhattan, which is a Manhattan clone. I say maybe because Underground Vapors sold all but one of their 20+ order in four days. If you are a vape shop that wants a quick selling clone, stock up on Fuhattans.

Keep checking today, I am probably going to have two or three different posts after this.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

New reviews

Hey everyone I have got two companies who want to set me up with some juice samples and they should be coming in a week or two. After I get them I will write a review, link their page up, give a shout out to my first donates and hopefully you buy some of their juices. They should be good, I looked at their menus and I am excited to review them. No spoilers though, wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

The link between EDM/Electric Music and Vaping

Have you ever noticed what music is always playing in Vape shops? I have, it is normally electric or some slow edm music. I believe this is because that type of music increases your heart rate. Which makes you more inclined to make quick decisions on what to buy, or it might make you more inclined to buy more than one thing. It is also pretty good music to just chill and hang out with while you vape. This seems to be the best correlation between the two since they seem to go together like peas in a pod.

What are your thoughts on this? I am curious.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Blowing up

This post is not about e-cig batteries blowing up. But I will do a post on why that happens sometimes and how to prevent it. This post is about the site traffic. It has been seen in 6 different countries and has about 200 hits already. Thank you to all the readers who continue to check in. I hope I am providing some useful knowledge.

If you are a company who may just be starting out, or if you are well established already and you want a product reviewed feel free to email me at surfvaperdude1@gmail.com and we will work something out.

Same goes for if you would like to sell your product in a store in Orange County CA, I know the owner very well and I could definitely put you in touch with him. Send samples, talk about deals, whatever. Same email as above.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

WTF Aerotank Turbo?

I think this thing has two atomizer heads going at the same time. Time to dig up some research. I am intrigued and thirst to know what this is. Look for an update.

UPDATE: It does, it does, it does. My head just exploded. OK going to do a full review on this soon, minus a test out because my shop doesn't carry it and I won't buy it because I don't have good experiences with Kanger products. Who knows, this might be the one to tip the scale in their favor.

Vision Spinner II

Hey everyone, how is it going? I am going to talk about the Vision Spinner II by Vision. It is a great eGo type battery that offers many features that make it great. It has a 1600mah battery on the inside, which is huge for an eGo-type battery. That means that it will last way longer between charges. It is variable voltage with 3.3, 3.8, 4.3, and 4.8 voltage settings. The voltage selection ring locks into place when it is on a designated voltage, which is pretty new because most spin type selectors are non-locking. It also has a smart battery sensor, which means that it will tell you how much juice is left in your battery. That is a pretty cool feature too. I bought one for my friend and he let me use it for a while. If I wasn't a mech mod person then I would buy this battery. I really liked it, it handled all the tanks that I tried on there very well. This battery is for second generation style vape setups. It can handle drippers, but only if they are over 1.2ohms, which is not what I do. I would strongly recommend this battery to anyone who uses eGo batteries. You can buy it from fasttech where is the cheapest that I have seen anywhere on the web. They also sell it from the visioncig website. I give this battery a 9.5 out of 10 for eGo style batteries. It also comes in about 13 different colors, so whatever suits you.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Lets vape

I'm going to go vape now, I might write a review on the Vision Spinner II when I get back. I am probably going to finish up the last of my GQ Vape: Eclipse. I need to get some more.

Kraken RTA

I love my Kraken RTA clone. It is a genesis style atomizer which means that it has a tank, but you rebuild the coils and re-wick it yourself like a dripper. Think of it as a hybrid, an awesome cloud chucking hybrid. It has four pieces excluding the drip tip. There is a glass tube, the middle post and connections, the over cap, and the adjustable airflow cap. Now I drilled out the air holes on mine because they were a little small to begin with, and I am the type of person that needs huge airflow. Right now I have a stainless steal mesh wick in there and I am liking it so far. People always say that stainless steal mesh is better than cotton, well I don't think so. Anyway, the performance of the Kraken is something to be desired even on a dripper, it has a huge building area, but you can't go too crazy or you won't be able to wick it properly.  It is a nice genesis style atomizer, I love mine. You need to be careful not to drop it though or it will shatter.

Fasttech has a really good deal going on right now for one of these for only $13.19. Fasttech Deal

Awesome super funny little girl

You should watch this with subtitles, holy crap. I can't stop laughing. I am literally short of breath and my ribs are hurting. Watch it till the end.

Grill Master

I consider grilling an art. I am not a professional like some grill masters, but when I grill the meat it is perfect almost every time. Whether it is Rib-Eye, Kabobs, of Chicken it is cooked pretty good. Usually I will marinade Rib-Eye for about two to three hours, but one time I marinaded it for about a whole day. Then you just cook it on each side for about 4 minutes. Normally I will turn up the heat to full blast and sear each side first for about a minute and a half to about two minutes, then I cook it the rest of the time on medium to medium-high. It is important to remember to let your steaks and Rib-Eyes about five to ten minutes to rest so they hold in all their juices, also this lets them after-cook. After-cooking is when your meat still cooks on the inside after you have taken it off the heat. It is important to take this into account when you cook steak because you could check and see "hey my steak is medium" when in reality by the time you let it rest it will be about medium-well to well. So let it cook until it is rare if you want to eat medium rare, or until it is medium rare if you want to eat medium.
Hope this is informative.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy. I always enjoy grilling.

My Current Coil

My current coil that I have is a doosie. It is dual eleven wraps of 24 awg Kanthal wire, nano dragon coil. And yes I said eleven, and guess what, it only comes out at .33 ohms! Now how is that for amazing. The flavor is amazing and it blows huge clouds that could black out the sun. I love this set up, it is perfect for flavor testing, which is what I did today, I tested about 7 different flavors from P.O.E.T. vapors and three from a different company. I will probably write a reveiw on those if Underground Vapors decides to pick them up. If not, oh well. I'm just going to say right now that they were really really good.

Sorry for the crappy pic, my web camera sucks, but still isn't that pretty? I think so.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Ding Ding Ding. We did it in two days, that is scary, but good. Thank you everyone.

Master Rip Trippers

Rip Trippers is probably the best known reviewer of all things having to do with vaping. He has been around for about two years and has a huge following. I personally love the dude, who wouldn't with lines such as "sick as tits" and "Hooooo ya, flavors a bomb" and "She's a chuckin". Now I don't know if those are trademarked, hope they aren't because I would hate to be sued by one of my idols in the vaping world. I believe he has his own juice line out which you can find a link to on his Google account. They are a high VG content juice specifically designed to "chuck vapor". Honestly if he read this blog I would probably die on the spot. His YouTube channel is Rip Trippers, he is on Instagram, Facebook, and he has a Google+ account. So check him out and see why he is so likable and crazy at the same time.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Suicide Bunny Scandal, Please fix your juice

It was reported recently, like a week ago, that Suicide Bunny, maker of top sellers such as Mothers Milk and Sucker Punch, has unwanted chemicals in their e-juice. This comes as a sadness to me and many other vapers I know because we all love their liquid. I mean seriously, Sucker Punch is my number two liquid, I could vape on it all day. Now this study comes out after an independent test was done on some of their e-liquids that were found to contain Diacetyl and acetyl propionyl, which I have absolutely no idea what it does to you, but it shouldn't be there. It contains those because most, if not all of their liquids have a custard base. Now I love you Suicide Bunny, so please, please go back to the lab and fix this so you don't have any angry customers and so that the FDA doesn't come down on your butt with an ax. Please.
So your juices taste great and are rich and flavorful, now all you need to do is go back to the lab and fix them.

BTW I believe I am one of the first reviewers to bring this to light, it may be a fluke, but I think it is accurate.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

100 views, not yet

If I get about thirty more page views tomorrow or over night then that means that I will have hit 100 page views in only 3 days. I must be doing something right. If you enjoy this blog and my reviews don't feel afraid to share it with your friends and on Facebook. I might be making a Facebook for this account soon, but I am not sure yet. This is one of the fastest growing blogs that I or anybody I know has made. So feel free to share and bring more visitors.

Remember if you own a new juice company that is just starting or if you know someone who makes juice, or if you just want some good reviews then I am your hookup. I am very good friends with the owner of Underground Vapors in Santa Ana and I can bring some of your company's juices for them to test out to see if they want to sell them. That is of course after I have tried them and reviewed them myself on here. If you want to set something up feel free to email me at surfvaperdude1@gmail.com.

P.S. This also goes for new musicians, give me a link to your you-tube channel and I will review your music for you.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Monster Import

I am a huge monster fan and I probably have tried every flavor. That was until last week when I tried monster import. It is so much smoother going down than any other monster I have had. It also has a fuller flavor which makes it more refined than any of the other ones. This has been out for a while and I am sad that I just discovered it. It is sooooo good.

For noobs

This post will be for noobs, which is ok because eventually you will not be a noob. Most smokers who have just started vaping will have a cigalike, which is a cigarette look alike. These are ok but they are very high with nicotine levels because it is for new vapers and people who used to smoke. Most of them are disposable and have very short battery life, but some are now being rechargeable with replaceable cartridges. Then after a new baby vaper decides to take his first steps he or she would get a true two part refillable e-cigarette. These include models such as EGO-C, EGO-T, Vision Spinner II(which I will review soon), and many other batteries. Then you have tanks or cartomizers that hook up to those batteries such as CE5(great starter tank), Kanger Pro-Tank I, II, or III(they also come in mini), the Aspire Nautilus, and many more of the like. Now these tanks are able to be refilled with liquid that you buy from online or stores. They come in a wide range of flavors and strengths of nicotine. Also these batteries are rechargeable and they are pretty reliable. Now here comes the heavy machinery: MODS. These are separate batteries that you put in a conductive tube that has two conductive pins and a button. This is one of the most powerful devices you can vape on. They are non regulated and have no protection from shorts, so be careful. You can tun some tanks on these, specifically ones with 510 connectors, but these batteries are meant for, and preform best with RDA's or RTA's which stand for Rebuild-able Dripping Atomizer or Rebuild-able Tank Atomizer. With these you must make your own heating element or "coil" out of kanthatl, nichrome, or g-plat wire. Then you must put your own wick which can be cotton, silica, eko-wool, rayon, stainless steal mesh, or any hybrid of those listed. Then you drip your juice directly onto the coil. This final setup or step in the evolution of a vaper is the best for flavor, vapor production, nicotine delivery, and it is super super durable. Now with each step up the equipment gets progressively more expensive but it is worth it.
Hope this helped if anyone had any questions or concerns. A great source to gather knowledge on all of this is the E-Cigarette-Forum, which I have a link to at the top with the pages.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

Chi You

Let me get this started that at one time I loved my Chi You clone, it was nice looking, it hit pretty hard, and it wasn't bulky or too heavy. It was a pretty good mod. That all changed when my locking ring became loose and would fire in my pocket. It has burnt through like three builds before I got rid of it. I loved the design on the tube, and it is probably one of the best looking mods out there, other than all those artsy ones. It had silver connecting pins on the top and bottom and huge air flow channels. It was a good clone. There was the hassle of having to re-adjust your top pin every time you used a different atty, but you also had to adjust the top connector that screwed onto the tube. That was another little grievance. I loved the firing button though, it was so smooth and so minimalistic that it almost made up for the locking ring becoming loose. I do not know if the real Chi You does this because I don't have 300 or 400$ to spend whenever. All and all I would recommend someone with lots of patience to get this clone, or if the real one works fine then I would recommend everyone get one of those. Now I do not know what company made the clones, but that might not matter. So I am going to give it a 7 out of 10, just because of its design and how it feels in your hands as you are vaping, also it hits relatively hard. It does have a lot of parts as you can see in the picture.

Now remember to have a good day and enjoy.

Johnny Stimson

This would be one of the other things. Johnny Stimson is a pop artist who is very young and extremely talented. His music is super funky and has great beats behind it. I would categorize his music as R&B with electronic influences, but there are definitely pop themes in there too. He has about six hits out, I don't believe that he has an album yet, but he will eventually. This guy is up and coming for sure, he already is pretty popular, but he has super star potential and he definitely has the voice, musical ability, and song writing skills to go super far in the music world. When you listen to his music you just want to dance. My favorite song is So Good, but Human Man is really good too.

Here is a link to his website: Johnny Stimson tracks

Underground Vapors

My local vape shop is called Underground Vapors, it is on Tustin Avenue. The exact address is 2124 N. Tustin Ave. Santa Ana, CA 92705. Their phone number is (714)-913-8882 and their e-mail address is undergroundvapors@yahoo.com, they are on Instagram, Facebook, and Yelp. Now enough about the details and contact info, on with the review. UV has a huge selection of e-juice and they carry many different brands of it, all of the juice they carry is high quality and they ask customers opinions sometimes before they decide to buy a brand. They also have a wide range of equipment from starter kits to clones to real mods, they also carry regulated box mods but they might be out of stock at the moment. That being said, all of their stuff is cheaper than most stores I have been too. Instead of paying 60$ for a nemesis clone, I payed only 40$ each for mine. Their juices range from 10$ to about 20$ depending on the size and what brand it is, instead of 15$ to 25$ like most other stores. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable, and the builders are of top notch quality. Basically if you want to get a good product, for less amount of money, and want nice and friendly service then this is the place to go. When you go in tell them that Justin referred you through his blog and you may or may not get a discount on something.

Look at all those juices!

Igo-w4

Now many people have always thought of the IGO-W4 to be a starter RDA, I used to be a part of that group. That was until I drilled out the air holes on that thing. I am running a dual micro parallel 26 awg kanthal, 9 wraps, and it comes out to .31ohms. Now that is pretty low, but I can get huge clouds and flavor quality is just off the charts on this thing. That is what I test all my juices on before I buy them because I know that that build just hits it out of the park in the flavor department. Now if you don't drill out your air holes then you may have a very different experience. I have owned a Stillare, a Tobh Atty, a Kraken, a Octopus RDA, and an IGO-W4. My favorite was the Stillare, but I'll review that later, my second favorite was the IGO-W4. Why? Probably because it is awesome if you know how to handle it, and it is super cheap. It is a great starter RDA, but it is also great for whenever you want as well.

Have a great day and hope you enjoy.

GQ Vape: Eclipse

I bought Eclipse by GQ Vape about four days ago, and it is almost gone. Now I vape a pretty good amount, but I am not a chain vaper. This flavor is the best one I have tasted to date, Sucker Punch by Suicide Bunny is a close contender. That being said, this juice can be vaped all day long with no problems whatsoever. It is a sweet kiwi and tropical berry mix juice and it is just the bomb. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste, and once your done with a hit you just want to take another. They carry it in 0, 3, 6, 12, and 18 mg strength, I use the 6mg. I have got to say that if this juice tastes good with 6mg then it will taste even better with lower strengths. I believe it is a 50pg/50vg blend, but I am not sure so don't quote me. It is a high quality liquid for a good price most places, I got my 15 or 18ml bottle for 12$ at Underground Vapors.

By the way I test all my E-Juices on a dual parallel micro coil to get the best possible flavor and experience from the juices.

If any companies have any flavors that they want to be reviewed or any equipment that they want to be reviewed remember to e-mail me at surfvaperdude1@gmail.com

Have a good day and enjoy.

Nemesis Clone

So I own two nemesis clones and I couldn't be happier. One of them is an older model, like from May of last year, and my other one is new, like from September this year. I like the newer one because it has a nice locking ring and the bottom button has been updated since the old model. They have silver top pin and bottom pin, I believe the tube is made of stainless steal, and it is just a great mod. It hits pretty hard and it isn't bulky at all. The new one I have is by HCigar and it is just a really nice clone.

You can get one from amazon, ebay, and here adirondackvapor, or you can go to your local vape shop, my personal shop is called Underground Vapors, they have great prices and a huge selection of juices, they are located on Tustin Ave. in Santa Ana CA.

Do you want a product reviewed or get some good press? Email me at surfvaperdude1@gmail.com and we will work something out. 

Hope you enjoy.
