    I'm curious. Do any of you ever crave a cigarette? Do you ever give in to the craving if so? I've found it surprisingly easy. I'm down to 3mg nic and haven't had the desire for a ciggy since a couple weeks after I started vaping. I wondered what other people's experiences have been.

    I love the smaller tanks. The GM looks great. Yep, you're right it sure does look purrty. The Avocado is the one I'm most excited about so let me know what you think when you have time to take it for a test vape. What builds do you prefer on your Aromamizer? Currently I have a single...

    First coil build photos: help needed

    Thanks. It was definitely the problem. I've finally got it clean now. I've heard that some folk are even sending theirs back because they can't get rid of the taste. The flavour is amazing now. I can't see what people mean when they say the flavour is mediocre. It rocks IMO.

    It seems we have very much the same taste in vape gear.

    Oh boy, you have almost everything that is on my 'next to buy' list. The Avocado, Goblin V2, Mad Hatter and EVic are top of my list, along with the Nebox and Kbox 200. How are you finding the RTA's and the RDA I just mentioned? Can you give me a run down of your opinion on them. Particularly the...

    Hi, this post of mine was a little while ago. I now build my own coils. Admittedly, I was always a bit lazy and often didn't prime the stock coils, however, I found that the reason I was getting dry hits in this case was that I had inadvertently picked up the BDC coils for my Nautilus rather...

    Ha. I've got the vaping bug. It's bordering on obsession.

    I didn't see these replies straight away. Yes, that was exactly the thread I was referring to. I e been meaning to read through. I'm far too nosy.

    Ah, I see. Apparently ECF removed her status or something? What new hardware do you have now? Oh, I have a long list of 'next to buy'. Seems I caught shinyitis .

    What is all this about Roxy? I've seen here and there that some members are upset with the admin regarding a situation with her. I'm intrigued.

    Ah, I was looking around ecf and started to feel particularly nostalgic. I loved this thread and was always excited to check in and see what everyone was up to. I received some awesome advice here. It really set me off in the right direction. How is everyone? I've now ventured into the world of...

    Blue Dawn? This sounds very American ;). I may have to try Fairy. I think that's the UK's answer to Dawn.

    I did try that actually. Hell if I could get the wire to cut. It dented my nail clippers though. This wasn't with the Kanthal that I'm using currently so I'll try it again.

    Ah, I see. I'm waiting for my coil making kit to come from Fasttech so I'm currently using these huge clumpy wire cutters. They are not great for precision work for sure. I'll see if I can snip a little closer and give the tank a full clean with washing up liquid. I've been looking forward to...

    So far I have just used hot water. It's much better but I think I'll have to crack open the dish soap to get the taste gone completely. Thanks.

    First coil build photos: help needed

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm pretty sure now that it is machine oil. I've given it another clean with a toothbrush and got into the parts I may have missed before. The taste has almost gone. It's still there so I may need to give the tank a vodka bath but I'll run a full tank through first...

    First coil build photos: help needed

    I should have mentioned that with the first build there was no hotspots or hot legs at all. It glowed from the middle out as it should do too. This build I'm not so sure about. It does glow from the middle but the legs also glow red. Should this not happen at all? Even if the glow is spreading...

    I'm just starting to build my own coils. I have so far done a dual coil build on a derringer clone RDA which has worked out great. The problem I'm having is with my Aromamizer. I'm getting a really horrid taste. It isn't a burnt coil taste so initially I thought it was perhaps machine oil since...

    Quiting smoking with vaping

    This is similar to the advice I was going to offer. I had been a smoker for 24 years and never had any intention of quitting because I enjoyed smoking cigarettes. However, I picked up vaping and quit just like that. I found it so easy because I discovered the hobby side early on. I upgraded from...

    Four RTA's on my shortlist: which one wins?

    I had a look at this. It's so cheap I think I'll just order one.
