Quick review of "Kawad ng Laguna" aka Nichome Wire and U.S. Silica Wick for Rebuildable Atomizers

Last week, I posted a video review on the Pinoy Vapers Forum Facebook Page. It's a video review of this thing called "kawad ng Laguna" or nichrome wire and its accompanying US silica wick. A fellow vaper who hails from Laguna, Keith sent me one pack of the wick and wire combo to try out. And so I did try it out.

The U.S. Silica wick measures 2mm and to make a solid wick, you have to fold it several times to get 6 to 8 strands. I then made 4 loops of coil using the nichrome wire to get a nice wick with resistance rating of 1.3 ohms on my Provari Mini.

For the build, I used the latest rebuildable atomizer from BudzWorks, the same guy who brought us the fabulous ERA.

So, how did I find the wick and wire combo? one word to describe it - awesome!

I mean, vapor production was good if not great. Juice flavor retention is magnificent. Juice flavor is good. Just watch the video embedded below to get what I mean.

Vapetime Watermelon Bubblegum Ejuice Review

For the past two weeks now, I've been vaping Vapetime's newest e-juice, Watermelon Bubblegum. It's one of the few Vapetime e-juices that I really like and enjoyed vaping. Watermelo Bubblegum is available from Vapetime in various sizes. I already ordered two 18ml bottles from them and two of my buddies also ordered the same flavor.

So, on with my review of the Vapetime Watermelon Bubblegum e-juice.

Taste and Flavor - 5/5

It's hard to describe the taste and flavor of Watermelon Bubblegum. It's something that I'm pretty sure you have not vaped before. It's the right blend of the fruity flavor of watermelon and the sweetness of sugar. It's like chewing a not so flavorful bubblegum. There's also a hint of mild minty flavor into it. Take note, mentholated e-juice lovers, this is not the e-juice for you because it lacks the strong menthol flavor of other e-juices such as Holy Smokes' MMM. There's also no hint of tobacco in it. In other words - it's plain and simple and yet fun fruity bubblegum taste and flavor.

Throat Hit 5/5

I'm not so much into throat hit when it cames to what I'm vaping. Just the moderate hit is just about enough for me. And this is the reason why I love this e-juice. Its throat hit is just about enough to give you the illusion that you're actually smoking. That's what we all look for when it comes to vaping, right?

Vapor Production 5/5

I'm not sure about Vapetime's PG/VG ratio for their juices. What I can say is that when it comes to vapor production, this e-juice will not leave you clamoring for more. With the perfect atomizer or build (for RA users), you can produce just about the right amount of vapor when vaping this e-juice.

Verdict

If you're looking for a break from the usual e-juices that you've been using over and over again, it's time to try something new. Check out Vapetime's Watermelon Bubblegum and if you don't like it - your next bottle of e-juice is on me.

Golden Drops' Snowy Bears E-Juice Review

When Golden Drops released Snowy Bears not so long ago, I didn't really give it a consideration since I was still busy vaping my staple liquid which was Holy Smokes' MMM. But then it seems that Holy Smokes is having problems manufacturing their e-juices and The Better Habit has depleted all of its stocks of MMM and Ole Black and Green so I have to find an alternative.

In short, I tried Snowy Bears since it's mentholated. What I really love about this e-juice is the fact that like the other Golden Drop's e-juice, Soo Cool Pomegrante, the menthol flavor of Snowy Bears is just about enough for continous heavy vaping.

When vaping Snowy Bears, you can taste a mix blend of sweet and mild sour taste of a familiar candy fare that you find on Sari-Sari stores (sorry I forgot the name). This taste lingers on your mouth for a few seconds  before it slowly vanishes signalling that you need to drag again.

I'm using Snowy Bears with 6mg of nicotine on the following PV settings:

• Provari Mini at 3.7 volts using ERA 
• TNT at 4.0 volts using ERA 

On both PVs, the flavor of Snowy Bears is always there in every drag you make. Another thing that I appreciate about this e-juice is that its flavor lingers on until the juice bottle is already half-empty. Most e-juice would have lost their flavors at the amount in the bottle. Snowy Bears does not.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Golden Drops' Snowy Bears. It's something worth trying and I assure you that if you prefer minty flavored e-juice, you'll love Snowy Bears as I did. In fact, I just bought my second bottle from The Better Habit. Kudos to the GD Boys for coming out with this flavor!

Four New Colors of Provari released

Last August 15, Provape, the makers of one of the best PV Mods and the best VV (variable voltage) mod released four new colors of their widely sought after, Provari mods. So aside from the Satin Silver and Black model, there are now white, pink, purple and blue colored Provari regular and Provari Minis.

Suggested retail price for the said Provaris are the same from the previous models - $179.95 (Mini)  and  (Regular). Here in the Philippines, prices of the new Provaris vary. The lowest I encountered is from Vapetime.net which is selling the units for Php 10828 (Mini) and Php 11,329. These come with the extended cap already. While if you purchase it from Provape, you will have to pay extra for the extended cap. Total cost will be around $219.

These new Provaris are already Version 2 and comes with BLUE LED Display.

So, which color did you get and why?

Long Live Vaping! Long Live Pinoy Vapers

The Philippine vaping community (Pinoy Vapers Forum or PVF) just celebrated their second anniversary. From the turnout of the participants, I would have to say that it was a huge success. I witness part of the event and was surprised to see so many vapers like myself. Most of them I just saw for the first time.

The event was attended by Pinoy vapers from the North, South, East, and Western Part of Metro Manila and some are even from as far as Bulacan and Bacolod.

It was a night of booze, promo girls and of course e-juice and vapors!

Now the countdown begins for the third anniversary celebration next year.

Keep on vaping guys and welcome to my humble blog dedicated to us all - Pinoy Vapers!
