Well I ordered this on Saturday ( IPV4s 120w, Uwell Crown and some Sony VTC5s) but I doubt I will get it all delivered much before Wednesday. This will be a big step up from my Protank 2 with single coils at 2.2 but I felt like treating myself. Cannot wait to try some of Hic's recipes in the Uwell, I will let you know how it works out.
Treating yourself is great! You will love your new setup! I have the Crown. I've been using the Youde Bellus RTA got it for $18.50/3.54 shipping from Efun.top they have it now in their USA warehouse. The flavor on the Bellus is incredible! It's pretty good on the Crown too, everyone loves the Crown, but the Bellus, oh my. Yes please let us know how it works out.
Got my Bellus from Efun.top as well, and also think it's excellent. Not a dramatically different vape than Cthulhu, Goliath, Goblin or Billow V2 despite the side air, but the features are a cut above and all work as promised. Aromamizer RDTA provides slightly a better flavor profile because of its superior wicking, though its features are not up to Bellus.
The surprise RTA for me lately has been the Goblin Mini. It actually has a brighter flavor than any of these due to its shorter chimney. If you are chasing flavor above all else in an RTA you might give it a try. The clone is ridiculously cheap and as far as I can tell with mine virtually indistinguishable from the authentic.

Thanks for the info. Wow you've tried so many! Bellus is my first RTA. Just received the Obs Crius, haven't tried it yet but it features are a cut above, based on YouTube reviews. Where did you get your Goblin mini?

Well, folks, I finally had the time to learn to build coils today, and coiled up my Mutation X v4...then put some black pepper ice cream in it, OMG OMG.... Why did I take so long to do this? Scared I couldn't, maybe. This is awesome... Can't wait to try another flavor... Now, which should I try? Suggestions? I can make something if it's shake and vape!

Is that shake and vape? You have a link to recipe?
Hip hip hooray! Congrats! Yeah flavor is pretty awesome on RDA's ! The Bellus fro Youde & today I put coils in my Obs Crius omg the flavor, & you don't have to constantly re drip cos they're RTA's. You've been here longer than me so I can't think of any that I've tried & you haven't. My fav's are, Thai Mango Sticky rice & Gooey Coconut cookies, how about Matcha ice cream?Well, folks, I finally had the time to learn to build coils today, and coiled up my Mutation X v4...then put some black pepper ice cream in it, OMG OMG....

I love it shake and vape, so make sure you like the flavors listed. I can mix this one and vape it immediately after a good shake.

Mixing as you read this, lol..... I love all of those flavors!
This has been in my daily rotation since minutes after it was posted. I'm not kidding. Minutes.
I was going to mention that one but I thought u posted recently that u made that. I guess it was Huckledberry
I love that one. I mix it up at 20 - 30 mls at a time and a back up bottle. I love it shake and vape, naturally, it's great with age, too.

I don't think I said I was, because I had to order Coconut and Cranberry, just got it last week. Good call though, thinking of it!
Putting coils on is not easy for me... I just had to put another coil on because I messed it up taking the wick out. My hands are not very useful. I like the deck on the Mutation, it's big!
Shoot, I could've mentioned, I use mandarin. I'm SO sorry, I hadn't even thought about it. But, you could add that still and it won't mess it up. Me, I up the cranberry a tad. Such an awesome flavor.
Yeah I don't get much orange either. Was going to tell u Huckleberried used Mandarin, but so just did lol. Next time I make it I'll try with Mandarin.
Next time I make it, I'll try it like yours with Mandarin. How much Cranberry did u use?
Oh boy, I bumped it to 1% initially, but I've actually got it at 2%. It's a strong flavor, but I just love that one.
At that time, I was out of orange, and have always mixed it with Mandarin because of that.. I feel terrible for forgetting that.
Thanks for the Cranberry info! I just remembered too that I read you made it with Mandarin cos you didn't have Orange. It's ok, I'm sure Gingervapes still likes it.

No worries....
You cranberry fans are going to like the holiday recipes I've been busy with! By the way, if your TFA Cranberry is over a year old, you might need a fresh bottle. I was surprised how much mine faded. Be really sure to shake that one, too - it's easy to forget since it's clear, but it does need it. Same reminder goes for the Nature's Flavors flavorings... Heck - just remember to shake everything. lol
My Carrot Cake Frappuccino & Pumpkin Pie are coming along nicely, it's getting smoother everyday, it's been 3 days. Oh, I found HIC's Pina Colada, guys you gotta make this if you like Pina Colada, it's soooooo good! A true shake & vape! I used TFA's Pineapple at the exact same %, don't have FA. Almost forgot, I took HIC's dare & doubled the %. Yum, yum, yum!
Also made HIC's Strawberry Malt & Country Fair Apple Pie, will let them steep a few days, will report back.

Crius is a good one to start with because the wicking is straightforward and obvious.
I got my authentic Goblin Mini from eBay, clone from FT: https://www.fasttech.com/p/2906301
How do you like the clone?

I have a habit now of shaking everything. Dish detergent before I put it in dishwasher. Mouthwash. If it's liquid I shake it before using. Lol!
HIC's OFD is the king of doughnut recipes. Very versatile, too. I'd imagine most any fruit would get along well with the spice in there at the right percentage. I've made it with peach, bilberry, and strawberry so far. I've even had two tanks devoted to it at once, one with fruit and one plain.
Protip: Resist the urge to dip mod into coffee.
Virtually indistinguishable from the authentic. Awesome flavor, especially bright because of the short chimney.
Thanks so much!
Ok Bambua & Retrox settled it, Old Fashioned Donuts here I come!
Love the "pro tip", resist urge to dip mod in coffee

@Bambua ! Glad to see you around again!
Coincidental timing - do you all know what today is? http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/11/05/national-doughnut-day/
(regarding a tank)
"Short chimney" is one feature that tanks I like all have in common. I originally chose squat tanks to avoid the light saber appearance with long eGo batteries, but I've stuck with them for the flavor. I'm not particular about cloud size or fancy features, but I insist on glass and a short chimney.

Just purchased my recipe. What is the right percentage to add fruits to my doughnuts? Gonna do like you. One tank plain, one with fruit. Loved your pro tip! Resist urge to dip mod in coffee!
The trick is not putting so much fruit that you overpower the spice. My absolute favorite is OFD + .75% FA Bilberry. 1 drop of sucralose per 5 ml makes the bil taste more blue to me without changing the overall profile much, but it's tasty without the sweetener too. I used 1.25% of FA Strawberry and Peach for those two mixes. HIC's recommendation to steep a day or two applies doubly with the fruit variations, as it takes a little time for the fruit flavors to soften to the point where they don't interfere with the spice.
Thank you so much! Mixing them up tomorrow!

Thanks!
I've been mostly lurking trying some of my own mixes and such but decided to be social again
Your doughnut recipe was my ADV on my one year anniversary of quitting cigarettes!

The goblin mini is my new favorite tank for flavor. I love that it works well both wide open and tight draw for really amazing flavor.

I'm waiting on one of these from FT as well, so glad to see the rave reviews! Right now, out of all the tanks I have, I am stuck on the Tobeco super tank RDA, don't really use anything else. I couldn't believe what I was missing in flavor till I got those bad boys!
Wicking the Goblin Mini can be a bit of a craft, same with almost all of the attys I mentioned before. I got leaking first, and I have a lot of experience with that kind of deck. Second wicking was just right, and it's been trouble free ever since. Just needed a tiny bit of wick in the juice channels. Good luck with it.

Happy first vape-iversary -- way to go!
I finally got around to mixing some Vanilla Silk Pudding yesterday, using the Raspberry option. Tasted it a little while ago and WOW I love it.
I'm glad you like that version, Claudia.
I should look at the other options and try a different one, but I just love it like it is!!!
