Accessory Review- Phiniac Tank

When I first started vaping, I was perfectly content using a small 510 battery, atomizer and a drip tip. Dripping 3-4 drops every 8 or so pulls off it of it satisfied my needs…for about a month. After talking to a lot of people and seeing what was out there in the vaping world, I started becoming more and more curious to the mods and accessories that were available. First, I purchased an eGo-T 1000mah battery and 3ml Dual Coil Tank. Being ignorant to the fact that certain juice flavors can crack or damage plastic tanks, I filled it with a cinnamon flavor and the tank became pitted (juice ate away at the plastic.)  After much consideration, I acquired an Altsmoke Silver Bullet and Phiniac Tank and the rest is history.

Phiniac is a great company that is totally dedicated to quality and craftsmanship. They make hand blown glass and wood tanks of all kinds, shapes and colors. I watched the videos they have posted on youtube which are very informative and instilled the confidence I needed to purchase a pyrex glass tank knowing it would be durable. Upon recieving my tank, (plain glass, standard size) it came with heavy duty black metal caps, an extra set of O-rings and a small bag in a well packaged box. After watching the "how to" videos on YouTube of fitting the tank onto your cartomizer and filling it, it was quick and easy to pop it on and off by using a small amount of juice to sort of lube up the O-rings. The seal is very tight and doesn't pop off easily even if grabbed by the tank while attached to a Silver Bullet or ProVari. It is a bit difficult, however, to slide the tank up to fill it so I would recommend purchasing the tank filler tool they offer on their website. It also prevents wear and tear on your O-rings. So far, I've had no problems with my tank and plan on buying another in the future! I would highly recommend this tank to anyone who regularly enjoys the "trouble" flavors that normally crack plastic tanks such as cinnamon or banana  flavors. The tank sits beautifully on a Silver Bullet and gives it a very nice finished look to the PV. I know function over fashion but hey, why not have both if it's out there!

Juice of the Week- Vanilla Mint

It's just about that time of year again, where we pack in the shorts and break out the sweaters and blankets. Now, I'm not sure about all of you but I'm the type of person that enjoys the smells and tastes of the changing seasons. That being said, I've been vaping a lot of natural flavors lately, which is great because I love expanding my horizons. This was one from the wonderful Summer Dawn, who sent me a care package earlier this year. This juice comes from Blue Mist Vaping Liquid which is a decent juice company, I've found a few random juices from them that I really enjoy and a few duds as well but that's the adventure of vaping!

I was nearly out of juice, didn't have any money and on the brink of buying another pack of cigarettes in my first few weeks of vaping, when one of my instagram photos attracted the attention of Summer Dawn. I told her my predicament and she kindly sent me about 20 juices to try! I was overjoyed and this juice was among those to try, even though I was never a huge fan of natural flavor juices, I love mint and menthol flavors so I gave this one a shot and boy am I glad I did! This juice came to me at 100% VG in 8mg nic and extra flavor. The vanilla part of this juice is a little over powered by the mint part but thats fine by me, I prefer the minty-ness anyway. This is a lovely after dinner vape, refreshing to the palette, almost a dessert in-and-of itself. Very nice at any voltage, I myself used to vape this in my old Volcano Magma e-cigs. At $5 for a 10ml bottle, Blue Mist is also easy on the wallet.

If you're looking for a nice sweet minty vanilla for an occasional vape, this juice is for you
