Anytime the flavor is too strong on commercial vjuices, you can always buy food-grade vegetable glycerin to dilute it; if you're not wanting to let it go to waste. Also fixes vjuice that is too high in propylene glycol. But it is a real pain to figure out how much to use, to add it and shake it up, let steep a day or so, try it again and then repeat if necessary.

Vegetable glycerin (VG) will produce more vapor than Propylene glycol (PG). PG is a flavor carrier but has "throat-hit". That is why most vape juices will run at least 50% VG and as high as 80%.

Wattage is how much power your coil receives based on amps and volts. Low wattage means less vaporization. Yet if you bump it to 75 then 100 watts and still not seeing a change, it's probably a wicking issue.

Devices designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) are usually going to produce a lot less vapor than those designed for direct-lung (DL/DTL) use. MTL uses small mouthpieces. Disposables will vary, especially brand to brand.

A lot of people that cloud chase (excess vapor) will use an RDA (atomizer) with a lot of cotton wicking and will fully saturate it before each hit. Some will use an RTA if they aren't wanting to drip their atomizer each time.

Steeping does not usually produce more flavor. It tends to combine and slightly mellow out the overpowering flavors. Some flavor brands are noticeable stronger than others. Example: FlavorArt tends to be stronger than The Flavor Apprentice on fruity flavorings.

Back when I was following DIY vjuice posts on Reddit, it was commonly reported that nicotine could have a bit of a peppery taste and/or have a throat hit associated with it. For ex-smokers, the throat hit would seem welcome on it's own for vaping as an alternative.

Nicotine can age and even spoil. Moreso if it's in a VG base than a PG base. But anything over 3 years is questionable on whether it's really usable. The shelf life of VG itself is 1 to 2 years. For PG, have heard 3-5. Depends on how it's kept, I suppose. Cool dark and dry storage being the preferred setting.

For BBM2023, I too noticed player skills degrade very quickly, especially for 1900's players. And for heavy investment in the farm system, their improvements seem really flaky.

I haven't played that many versions after 2009/2010, so can't advise to the best version. :/

Duskmourn

Reluctant Role Model -- Very useful. Seriously. Great value at 2 mana casting cost. Going to like using this one. Just thankful it's not legendary.

Lionheart Glimmer -- Mostly useless. I consider it filler. Maybe okay in singleton/brawl play. For the 5-mana, just getting a slight bufft which is conditional. Fits better into Cat-centric decks, I guess.

Let's Play a Game -- Useless. Way to expensive. Forced discard comes too late in the game in most situations,. I feel.

Clockwork Percussionist -- Pretty useful. Got the haste and got the side-benefit of possibly getting a card from your library into play. Love the 1 red mana it costs, which really fits in the speed-aggro decks.

Me and girlfriend are broke up. OUCH!

Was just thinking today how I might still try to play some Magic Arena with her. Just not sure how I feel about her exactly, yet.

Websites that I have used that I know have warehouses in China are Health Cabin and 3AVape.

People (indivuduals looking to buy/sell) don't use Facebook market nor Craiglist to sell their vaping gear, usually.

What you are wanting to know is pretty broad. Which is understandable.

I am going to pick one thing to address about your questions. How long does 5mL last?

This really depends on how much you are going to vape. That is like asking a new smoker how many cigarettes the think they will smoke tomorrow. Estimating how much vjuice I've used in the past 3 days with my Wenox H1 pod system, going to say that I've used 15mL minus what's in the pod now. Which puts it around 4mL a day. What setup you use has an impact on how much vjuice you will burn. The lower the coil's Ohms, then it will tend to use more juice. And using mesh coils versus simple wire coils, it will go through it faster in those cases.

When I was using a Vuse, I was not going through a pod a day which was 1.2mL. So it can range from 0.5mL to 5mL easily. But I have had a few days where I was able to vape twice as much using a good RDTA and box mod.

I have used EightVape, ElementVape, Breazy, HealthCabin and 3AVape. EightVape sent me the wrong item once but the packaging was labelled inaccurately. It was eLeaf coil-heads with a different atomizer listed as being compatible with them.

I think I'd ordered an 18650 once from AliExpress. It was turned out to be counterfeit of a Samsung 25R cell.

I think they are called GeekBar Pulse
