    Hello there

    I make most of my e-liquids. One thing that I also do (but not always) is use one-shot concentrates from a few of the best places, some of whom are no longer able to sell 30ml premixed. For example, I used Chef's vapor who are now Chef's flavours (Cardiff) and sell most of their favourites in...

    Newby here

    Squonking is awesome, but the draining battery is painful. (mech) I've taken a battery out (put a new one in) and discovered I'm still on 3.8/3.9v before. I need a regulated one but I don't think they are available anymore in Europe. :cry:

    TC not working as I think it should

    I only use TC/TC wire with atomizers where I can be certain of how wet the cotton/coil is. My experience with factory coils is that they backed off the power almost instantly, spoiling the experience. Actually, I call factory coils and cheap TC mods nothing more than a gimmick, bordering on...

    Hello from the UK

    Welcome @Tango34 Chris. Good luck on your journey. You can definitely do this... I've known vapers who smoked 30,40,50 cigs a day who managed to quit with the old style (rubbish) products that were on sale 2010-2013. Some are still on sale, sadly. I dual used for a while, vaping at low power...

    Hi, New to forum. Kangertech topbox mini platinum SubOhm coil help?

    On the full website, select a product, head over to the price in dollars, drop down to under 'add to cart' and 'change currency'. On the mobile device website (m.fastttech) find the 3 bar menu/settings (top right of screen?) and look at the bottom lower down than Forums, Help, Full site. It's...

    Hi, New to forum. Kangertech topbox mini platinum SubOhm coil help?

    You can select GBP on the currency box at Fasttech. I have it set to that but double check the rates for real with XE or similar.

    Hi, New to forum. Kangertech topbox mini platinum SubOhm coil help?

    These things are no surprise. SSOCC are not stainless steel coils (despite the epic mess-up in the name by Kanger), so they work in regular watts mode. Do not use in temp mode. A reading of 0.64 for a 0.5ohm coil is totally normal. As for burning over 25 watts - that is common too. Many users...

    New to vaping and need advise

    There are a few AIO Joyetechs. The basic one is the eGo AIO. As I have said, I don't recommend it often because you can't control the power. No control means when it works well, it's great, but if you start burning the coils or your liquid doesn't suit it, then you have a very frustrating...

    Smok g priv 2 batteries

    Welcome to the ECF! :) If your mod takes 2 x 18650 batteries, you are in a comfortable position; you can use good quality IMR batteries without needing the very highest amp capability. For me, you may as well aim for 3,000mAh.

    New to vaping and need advise

    I find the AIO (small-ish pen, 0.6ohm) and the Penguin (0.6ohm) both deeply flawed products. Weirdly, the Penguin vapes better using the 0.25ohm coil at much higher power, obviously. I do not recommend the Penguin at all. The AIO can be OK, but with the wrong liquid you may as well forget...

    New to vaping and need advise

    2ml a day? I'm guessing that's based on your existing experience. 2ml was unusually low, even back in 2012/13 when we (folks) were vaping 12mg or 18mg sometimes 24mg, at 7 watts of power. If you vape at 14 watts (say) and reduce the nicotine strength, then 4ml is a more likely outcome. I vape...

    New to vaping and need advise

    None of this is a surprise. Blu is expensive junk. They think they are vaping. They are just an ugly, greedy (tobacco) company selling rubbish to the masses. Blu UK also supported the new EU laws limiting vaping to 743 MILLION people. That's how evil they are. Supporting laws which limit vaping...

    Smok Alien 220w complete loss of flavor and/or burning

    It won't be your batteries, but you have done the right thing to ditch the Efest.

    This is an important comment. I remember a smoker saying to me "wait until you are 40 (years old) and see how bad you feel" as a warning. So much depends on how many pack years you have smoked but essentially, most smokers cannot stop soon enough.

    E-liquid is made from PG, VG, (+ water) and flavors. Those flavors can/will be made from a variety of known chemicals, of course. There is not formaldehyde in liquid as an additive but formaldehyde can be produced vaporizing e-liquid (the PG) under certain circumstances. Abusing an e-cig coil...

    Burning Coils, multiple mods/ohms/etc

    I don't know what kind of diversion from the truth this is, but most factory coils in standard set-ups (not <80-150w) are good for somewhere in the region of 1,000-3,000 puffs per coil depending on juice. Nobody gets 8,000 puffs without flavor-free or DIY juice. That's not possible. Somebody...

    Most pens are not that great. The shops will often try to sell you overpowered, unreliable models, so be careful. Just in case you don't know... the e-cig review industry is full or crooks and people who just want commission. Also, the supposed 'top' brands are mostly NOT the top brands...

    Biotene? Dry mouth help

    Oh... well I guess at night (when folk aren't actively vaping) might work. I can see the logic.

    Biotene? Dry mouth help

    Vaping causes a dry mouth. A dry mouth remedy product will not help much. I have taken this route with my dentist and it was a decided failure. The vapor created, particularly by the PG (Propylene Glycol) simply sucks up moisture that would normally exist in your mouth. It does get better over...

    RX200s too high voltage or?

    That might be true, of course... but you are in the very safe zone i.m.o.
