    So, I have been enjoying my Itaste VTR for a few weeks now. I decided to have a go at the rda that was sitting on the shelf. So I got it set up with dual coils. Drilled the holes out each side to 1mm (it's the igo w) so I have reasonable airflow. I have dripped a few different flavours that I...

The travel adapter that came originally was cheap and unfused so I dont use it. I use a fused travel adapter. Although this works, when plugged in it just feels 'loose' in...
