    Best Way to Taste Eliquid Without an Atomizer?

    Could you not buy an atomizer? An LR306 and drip tip is probably a good choice and cheap. Or a bit more expensive but a basic rebuildable atty (that is one where you replace the coil and wick yourself) for dripping can be found here - Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer It is possible to make your...

    Statement from Totally Wicked

    Recently posted up at the Totally Wicked forum. I'm assuming it's OK to post here as it states a true copy of the letter should be published at UKV once it's (hopefully) back up and running. Also there's an updated statement at UKV. http://ukvapers.com/ EDIT just noted the forum software...

    DID or Line V2

    Yeah I think there's a lot of room for the individual setup to make a big difference with the DID. The diameter of the wick for example. Getting a good setup is going to take a bit of practice. I'm not totally happy with how mine is yet. Good draw and flavour but I'm having to run it at 5...

    DID or Line V2

    I don't find the draw on the DID a problem. It is quite light, but I find has some resistance. I've read a rumour they'd changed the air hole size since the earliest ones, but not sure on that. Something I would say about the DID is it's built like a tank. No way the connector is going to...

    Attack on UK vapers by TW

    A legal threat was made against both the forum and its users, so they have closed it for the time being, presumably while they run it past a lawyer. As has been said elsewhere, English libel and defamation law is not fit for purpose and allows those with money to shut up their critics...

    Totally Wicked closes down UK Vapers

    I think the Scottish classic, the "Munchy Box" is something to try before I die. Perhaps the last thing... :)

    Don't worry I think there are more people banned from that forum than active users!

    Why? Drip tip vs cart without insert on 510 atomizers

    Doesn't make much sense to me either and I get no difference at all in vapour output. They are both just effectively a mouthpiece. Check the drip tip has a snug fit with the atty so it's not pulling air in from the side or something. The wider bore of a drip tip can make the air flow a bit...

    E-cig charger for 220 volt socket marketed as for 110 volt socket

    Bill, most chargers these days are worldwide voltage (marked 100-240vAC 50~60hz) and will adjust automatically to the voltage supplied. Check the label which should on the charger itself. This means the majority will work fine on most domestic mains power voltages around the world. This...

    Battery Whine?

    I'm pretty sure it's the charger as mine does this as well. If you recharge them before they are deeply discharged it shouldn't make the noise. Try recharging a battery early and see. IMR's seem to cause this most frequently but it can happen with other types if they've been fully discharged...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    The link to the abstract refers to "healthy non smokers" and "healthy adult smokers", so take your pick I guess. Shoddy.

    Ego-T 1000mAh Battery Chargers

    I'd just use one of these - [Joyetech]Joye eGo/eGo T Mega Powered USB Charger with Logo [Joyetech] - $5.00 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail-- Been using one for about 8 months and still going fine. I'd say the Joyetech stuff is usually decent quality, while copies can...

    Ego-T 1000mAh Battery Chargers

    Really it's best to use the specific USB charger provided in the kit. What problems have you been having?

    Protected batteries vs IMR - safety

    Interesting video of a deliberate shorting of an AW IMR battery and a Panasonic high output li-ion: I''ve had a short of an unprotected IMR in a mod. In my case all that happened was the spring on the negative terminal heated rapidly and collapsed, breaking the circuit. No harm done (apart...

    Drop to equal 1 ML

    I measure rather than use drops except when I'm mixing really small amounts (a 5ml bottle of some experimental mix maybe). I've found 1ml can vary from about 18 drops of VG from a large plastic dropper bottle, to 40+ on certain flavourings in certain bottles. Average though seems to be around...

    Help with menthol crystals in a 20/80 PG/VG mix. Keeps solidifying.....

    I think adding some PGA would probably help it to dissolve the menthol. Remember anything you add to it will reduce the nicotine level. I think what most DIY VG users do is make a menthol concentrate with PGA, which you can add to mixes and AFAIK it shouldn't re-crystallize. Just mix some...

    Help with menthol crystals in a 20/80 PG/VG mix. Keeps solidifying.....

    I've heard of this on VG based liquids containing lots of menthol. I don't think there's much you can do about it really as VG is not a good solvent for menthol. It's likely to be saturated so you should still have a fair amount of menthol in the juice even if you don't re-dissolve the...

    CASAA's 2011 .... Head of the Year Awards

    Voted for the Whitehouse because I was shocked that what should be a petition to the President, to be given some real consideration before an official response was issued, was obviously just offloaded to a low level idiot who just spouted the usual FDA drivel. All of the users stories were...
