Caliburn X, does anyone have one?

@Lynda_Marie and/or anyone that owns a Caliburn X:
I have a friend that loves your Car-nilla Custard Premium. I bought her a Caliburn X and she is in love with it so I gave her what I had made for myself, which was 6 mg nic in either a 30pg/70vg or 40/pg/60vg ratio, I can’t remember which ratio it was. When I made her a 2nd batch, I messed up and added too much pg which caused her pods to leak. She gave up and went to buying disposables at $22 each and it only lasts her a week, eeek! She loves the 50mg nic salts and I don’t have nic salts, only free base nicotine. In your opinion, what is the highest nic content I can give her for your Car-nilla recipe and at what ratio should it be so it won’t leak? I don’t know if you even own a Caliburn X, but I thought I would ask you in case you have any info you can share.

I don’t have the x but it s them same coils in it as every other cali they do I run 70/30 in them. But if you leave those coils for more than a day sitting they leak like a bugger

I truly appreciate your quick reply. What is the highest nic you use with them and which coils do you use for high nic? I will adjust the recipe to 30pg/70vg. thank you!

.8 ohm 12mg freebase NIC really good flavor for a pod if your not using it take the pod out and save the device from getting soaked hope that helps

If all you have is free base you can go to 28mgmm. I wouldn’t go any higher than 28.

Would 28mg nic be okay with the .8 ohm?

Thank you @Grabbo and @rcleven for your advice. My girlfriend is a chain vapor so I can’t image the pod just sitting around unused for very long unless you mean it should be taken out while she sleeps?

Can’t see why not. Start at 50/50 PG/VG and see what she says.

:point_up_2::point_up_2: This will make it trial and error I reckon.

I started at 18mg with a restrictive MTL set-up and chain vaped, got to be too much nic very quickly for me. Don’t mix up large quantities until you are sure it’s not too much nic. :slightly_smiling_face:

@KC111 When I started I was on 18 mlg ,that lasted the day ripped my throat out I use 4 devices a day two are 2 mlg 1 @12 mlg1 @6 mlg any high and my heart wants to jump out of my chest Caliburn coils leak I’d check on the leaking make sure it’s not condensation if it’s pouring out I’d suggest user era they leak but not badly , other possible reasons would be to much pressure in the bottle when loading , to much pull on tip when vaping hope you find a solution soon

Thank you all for your input! I will make a 30ml of juice at 50/50 and 28mg nic and another 30ml of juice at 30pg/70vg at 18mg nic and see how they hold up for her Caliburn X. Unfortunately, Car-nilla Custard Premium takes a month so steep so I better get to a’mixin, lol.
Thanks to you all.

I don’t have an X, but @DanielTheVapeMan does. Looks like you got some good answers though!

Ps-I’m so happy your friend enjoys that recipe. It was one of my first that I published.

Good luck!

I thought you might be able to help with the amount of nicotine he can do using freebase and not salt.

I will give the 50/50 with 28mg nic and 30pg/70vg with 18mg nic a try and warn her it may be too harsh. I can try the 12mg nic if it is too much for her. I hosted a Tripoly poker game over the weekend and 4 of us out of the 7 were vapers, but I was the only 1 of the 4 not using the disposables from China.

I started with 18mg nic clove juice in a Ultima Horizon tank, one of the earliest tanks and I coughed my lungs out each time.

I found 60-70 was the perfect throat hit whereas 50.50 was too rough. Icthink 60 is perfect for 6-8mg but 50.50 is probably closest to disposable
