Casey Jones Mainline Reserve -(quality for cheap!)

[ChronicVaper]

Haven't had a chance to try a new coil yet. I'm giving the juice a little more time to steep. Today I transferred 30ml to a separate bottle and put it in front of my heater for 20 mins. The heat steep works in some cases, sometimes better than others.

I usually do a 2mm 1.2ohm kayfun build. I'm gonna try the wick barely hitting the deck build next and see what happens. In the past, this build hasn't worked very well for me. I'd be getting dry hits even with 50/50. My regular wick and coil build has been pretty forgiving for the past year and a half. I've tried thick/thin wicks and they'll all work well for at least a day. I usually rebuild every 1-2 days. My builds don't last more than 2.5 days typically due to the dark, sweet juices I use. With cheap wick and wire, and a few minutes a day, I always have a pretty fresh build to vape on.

Murica might not make the regular rotation. Gold Rush might, depending on how it tastes with a little more time. I know custards in particular need at least 3-4 weeks to reach full potential.

Anyone else use heat/hot water steeping with their CJMR liquids? I used Max VG once with my ADV, and though the clouds were pretty impressive, I never got the flavor in an equivalent 50/50. I'm not a cloud chaser, it's all about flavor with me.

I used to use a 3/32 drill bit sometimes at 1.7 ohms, but switched down to my current 5/64 build a while ago. I didn't really notice a difference either way. One would think that with a thicker wick to saturate, that it would lead to more dry hits.

I'm not one to take one big lung hit, then pause for a few seconds. I'm definitely a tootle puffer that takes a bunch of quick short hits.

The problem seems to be the quality of the juice. There's nothing you can do. I buy tons of vape, there's a lot of vapes that are amazing right out of the box and get even better as it sits. This isn't the case here. It's not AWFUL vape, but it's pretty far away from anything I'd call fantastic.

I tried the juice again after about a week more of steeping. I did the special build with not too tight a wick and the ends barely touching the deck.

It's been vaping better without dry hits. The flavor is a little bet, but not what I would expect being in a Kayfun.

So my opinion of CJMR is a good one for now. The flavor is good, but it's weak, and the high VG juice is a little light on the throat hit. In a dripper I'm sure these are fantastic, but I would never do that. I'll try the Gold Rush again this weekend.
