    Vika Fantasy Holy Grail: Still Worth it in 2021?

    Hey guys, My enjoyment of the Nautilus GT Mini has me interested in all things BVC coils. So much so that I haven't touched my favourite RTAs in weeks. I even went ahead and ordered an EVL Twin. It should arrive some time this week. So with that context, is the Vika Fantasy Holy Grail worth...

    SXK KA V8

    Hey guys, Any thoughts about this one? It's been on my to-buy list for a while, but never got round to it. It looks like it might fit my preference for very the restricted direct lung, loose MTL range. Cheers in advance.

    Expromizer v4

    Hey guys, I'm trying to get any idea about how tight the airflow is. My problem is that most so-called restricted RTAs are too airy for me, but most proper MTL RTAs are too tight. My question is, with a 2.5 mm coil, fully open, can you manage a direct lung hit with the v4? Also, maybe another...

    Overall, best single battery regulated squonk mod as of 2019?

    Hey guys, I'm looking to get back into squonking again. I'm considering either a Therion BF, or the Pulse X. My concern with the Therion is the annoying battery compartment, and as for the Pulse X, quite a few people have been complaining the squonk bottle and juice wastage. Which one would...

    Cleaning the Aspire Nautilus Base?

    Hey guys, A friend of mine quit vaping and gave me his Aspire Nautilus. I have a question about cleaning out the airflow base. How necessary is it? I've watched a few videos on Youtube and it seems quite tricky to disassemble the base and airflow ring. People are using vices, wrenches, pliers...

    Opinions about FW Butterscotch Ripple, Hazelnut and Peanut Butter

    Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone can vouch for the following FW flavours: Butterscotch Ripple: Enyawreklaw is one of my favourite mixers and he loves this one. I was underwhelmed by Flavour Art's Butterscotch, so I'm hoping this will be better. Hazelnut: Better than TPA's? That's what...

    Flavour Art Tobacco Recommendations

    Hey guys, Any absolute must-have recommendations? The only tobaccos I've tried are TFA's Black Honey Tobacco and RY4 Double. I like BHT, but RY4 I can live without. For non-tobaccos, I tend to prefer nutty, creams and bakery vapes. I'm not into straight up fruits at all. Here's what my local...

    Recipes for a nutty tobacco vape with FA Shade or FA Royal?

    Hey guys, FlavourArt has finally made its way to where I'm currently living. Unfortunately, the only 2 tobacco flavours available are Shade and Royal. Does anyone have any solid, simple recipes for nutty or woody tobacco juices that use Shade or Royal? FA Glory sounds like something I would...

    TPA Hazelnut

    Hey guys, Any regular TPA hazelnut mixers? I tried 4% then 6%. Pretty weak, in my opinion. But 1 drop in my coffee and it's all there. Haha. Very satisfying and strong. Maybe it needs a long steep? After a week, pretty subtle. Thanks!

    10ml Juice in a 30ml Bottle - Flavour Loss?

    Hey guys, I saw a New Amsterdam Vape video where they explain that excessive air in a bottle can lead to flavour loss. I've been making 10ml amounts in a 30ml bottle and after 2 weeks, the flavours are nowhere as pleasing and complex as they were after a week. Has anyone else experienced this...

    TPA Marshmallow vs TPA EM and Flavour Muting

    Hey guys, When it comes to ethyl maltol and flavour loss, I had to learn the hard way. Juices became muted after some time. Now I avoid EM, but if I have to use it to fix harshness, I add a drop or 2 per 10ml. My question is, how does marshmallow compare? I'm concerned that it will affect my...

    A strangely pleasant recipe for ex-smokers

    Hey guys, Any ex-smokers out there who are also tired of sweet vapes? Try this. And I should also mention that I am not a fan of eating peanut butter at all, but I quite like vaping it. It really reminds me of smoking a cigarette, so I call it PB&C. Peanut butter and cancer. 8% dx peanut...

    Switching Between Flavours with a Derringer RDA

    Hey guys, RDA noob here. I've ordered a Derringer RDA and I was wondering whether you absolutely need to change the cotton everytime you want to switch between flavours if both flavours aren't too different. What say you ECF? Thanks!

    Pre-mixing Flavours and then Using as a Single Mix?

    Hey guys, I found a recipe that advises the user to pre-mix flavours and then use as a single flavour percentage when you're ready to calculate nicotine, PG and VG. My question is, how long should you let your pre-mixed flavours steep, in order for it to blend well? Thanks a lot guys.

    Flavor West Double Apple vs. Capella Double Apple

    Hey guys, I have a recipe that requires 13 percent Flavor West double apple. At the moment, I only have Capella double apple. Has anyone tried both of these? How do they compare in strength? Thanks!

    Crock pot accident. Sigh.

    Hey guys, I tried to heat steep a 10ml bottle of DIY RY4 Double single flavour in my crock pot/slow cooker. I filled the pot with just enough water to cover my e-liquid and set the temperature to 150 (maximum is 220), but when I came back, all the water evaporated in the slow cooker and the...

    TPA RY-4 Double aniseed taste

    Hi guys, Sorry if this has been covered in the past. I mixed my first DIY e-liquid last night. I did a 50/50 single flavour 10 percent mix of TPA RY-4 Double. Throat hit and vapour production were great. The only problem is that my RY-4 Double tastes like aniseed. Reminds me of Ouzo and...

    Nicotine base strength for new DIYer

    Hey guys, I'm thinking of starting out DIYing by buying a 36mg 100% PG nicotine base, since I like higher PG e-liquids, and then adding the VG from there. I have my eye on 36mg for safety reasons (accidental contact with skin, etc.). Am I going overboard with safety concerns? I know that it...

    Just an Introduction

    Hey guys, I've been an analog smoker for almost 20 years, so it's been such a relief to discover vaping. The transition was almost too easy. I have no analog cravings now, and even the smell of cigarette smoke is now repulsive to me. I decided to try vaping when I found out that even the UK's...

    Local Juice Versions of US Brands

    Hi guys, Just wondering if you know any local juices that are very similar in flavour to the US juices. For example, people have said that Octobrew Apple Crumble is similar to Five Pawns Gambit. Not sure if it's true, haven't tried either. Any ideas? Thanks guys.
