    UK vapers - stop lurking - come & say hello

    No worries :) You buy the e-juice with nicotine in it. Typical strengths are from 8mg per ml to 36mg per ml (0.8% to 3.6% nicotine) with 36mg being very strong. You can get zero nicotine liquid. Nicotine on its own is a deadly poison, and difficult to handle in pure form, so no you don't buy...

    18650s

    How do you use your laptop? I doubt the laptop manufacturers use Ultrafires - they probably mostly use decent quality cells - Samsung's, Panasonic's, Sony and the like (I know Sony had a little problem with exploding laptop batteries a few years ago..). I'd think a combination of heat and...

    on model numbers, 510, 901 # is based on what?

    No significance as far as I'm aware. I have seen that confirmed by at least one manufacturer, although which manufacturer escapes me now. But they are just identifying numbers. Occasionally they have something like the overall length incorporated into them like the DSE084 (which is an 84mm...

    UK vapers - stop lurking - come & say hello

    Had a quick look at the Sky site and it looks like the type with the exposed atomizer bridge. On a side note, anyone reckon their logo looks like a knock off of Sky TV's?? Wonder if their lawyers are aware.. Anyway, usually with this type the cartridge is very small, and deeply recessed into...

    Do I have a problem?

    Is that an unmarked piece of crap? :) Anyway to answer your question with LR atty's and heavy vaping I can easily drain an 18650 and get well into a second one (various Trustfire) in a day. I never run them down very low - I basically find they've lost a lot of their "oomph" by the time they...

    BDL - IMR 18650 - Magnetic + Pole Button?

    The ones I've got just came as flat tops. I guess yours might have been bundled with magnets. I'm using one (without a magnet) in a Phidias right now, no problem. You can use a magnet to help make contact with the charger if necessary - no problem with that.

    "BDL" IMR Batteries

    Does anyone have any experience of these, or any links to testing of these LiMn batteries? They are pretty cheap, retailing around the same as the *****Fire batteries in the UK. I have a few in 14500 and 18650 size. The 600mah 14500's, in my usage, seem to be really working well, and have...

    E-liquid review for receptive taste buds

    Interesting. Ethyl maltol is in so many of them I suspect, to give a richer taste. I imagine there are a lot of juices you don't like then?

    How many refills before the Mega Tornado Cartridge is spent?

    I can't say exactly, but I can generally make a cart last a week or so (topped up many times) especially with clearer, thinner e-liquids. When they turn brown and seem to need refilling all the time, but don't accept much liquid I generally throw them out then. Its possible to wash them when...

    Advice please - kinda urgent

    Yep, and you can buy them in small containers in UK pharmacies. Really tiny amounts needed, the crystals are very potent indeed. They are soluble in alcohol.

    E-liquid review for receptive taste buds

    Nicotine, Propylene Glycol, Glycerol, optionally water and ethanol are the common factors. The flavourings are highly variable. To me, nicotine bases can vary in flavour, depending on how pure they are. I'd maybe look at that. Also try a 100% VG liquid as mentioned already mentioned, in case...

    No problem :)

    Advice please - kinda urgent

    Why not make a small trial mix and find out? Try getting a small container and dripping 6 drops of Oriental and 3 drops of Menthol (thats a 2:1 ratio) and mixing them up. That should be enough to see how it vapes.

    Where can I buy liquid IN STORE in Hampshire UK?

    You might not make it up North anyway, with the weather we've been having :) Why is it so expensive, tax or something?? Can't you order stuff from China, or is that also taxed? You can get 50ml bottles of Dekang from Health Cabin for $12, for example. It might be worth asking in the UK area...

    What should dry burning smell and look like?

    That would be carbonised juice and stuff that is left behind on the coil and burns. The coil is actually wrapped around the wick in most cases. The wick does not burn. Good video showing a full dry burn - YouTube - Cleaning a Low Resistance 510 Atomizer

    The only really well stocked walk in store in the UK that I know of is Totally Wicked, who are up north.

    Buzz vs. Joker AV?

    Yes it does look pretty :) Thanks for the feedback!

    Totally Wicked Tornado

    Higher strength nicotine liquid yes, probably. You might want to try low resistance atomizers which burn hotter than standard ones - you can get regular and mega types. The mega ones use a bigger cartridge which you'd have to buy as well. This is optional not a yes you should :) But they hit...

    Totally Wicked Tornado

    Yes nicotine level affects throat hit (main factor IMHO) as do flavourings, and amount of PG in it. The device itself does as well. I find the 510 atomizers sometimes take a couple of hours of use to get to how I like them, initially they can be a bit airy.

    Buzz vs. Joker AV?

    Thanks. I have been reading that the Joker is lightly built and also some less than glowing reviews of the early models at least, while the Buzz seems to be highly rated. Thanks for the other suggestions I'll check them out :)
