    This is a serious long shot. Anyone got a recommendation for an equivalent tank that matches a Wasp RDA (dripper)? Please don't say the 2ml RTA. I went RDA to escape.

    A personal COPD diary – Part 1

    OK. You or someone you care about has been diagnosed with COPD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an affliction that covers a multitude of sins, insofar as it covers a spectrum of lung conditions, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Like the other C word, the prognosis is not...

    @Letitia you do not realise what you did such a time ago. I still have the memory of my wife and I taking turns shaking a 50ml clear plastic bottle, and a contributor on this thread [who will remain nameless] suggesting the product looked like the output of a randy stallion. Times like these...

    Nailed it in one, my dear. I partially felt as I couldn't be be a "mover and shaker" that I couldn't realistically contribute. Call it male pride, us Scots are funny folk.

    @Letitia. You are the goddess of my first mix. Part of the reason I returned. I need some magic :).

    Thanks, @chanelvaps. I'm not sure what thread I'll end up on, but I might splash out and treat myself, although it will not be on the scale when I first took up vaping. I'm really sorry to hear about your stroke. Lost my Grandmother to that, so you missed a bullet there. I know exactly what you...

    Bless you, @AngeNZ. I think one of the "To Do" tasks that I must accomplish in 2020 is a write up on how tobacco (and many other things) seriously messes you up, and why vaping is an essential weapon in the armoury of anyone who wants to be set free of such chains. If nothing else, if I can...

    Good evening, all ye purchasers of reflective vaping goodies. Long time, no chat. Apologies for the long term absence. Contrary to rumour, I have not just been released from incarceration, nor have I disgraced myself by falling completely off the vaping wagon, although at times I have been...

    Sorry about taking so long to reply. Don't know where you are based @Fredman1 , but I get my wire supplies from these folks in the UK - Crazy Wire Company Ltd.

    Comment by 'Old Greybeard' in 'Flat wire observations'

    Hi @Fredman1 , The wire used in the photos is 0.68mm x 0.27mm which I find is just right. I have tried 0.1mm thick wire, but it is just too flexible. You can build a coil OK, but wicking is really tricky as the coil distorts too easily. According to Steam Engine, 8 wraps on a 3mm former with...

    Hello all, Greetings from the land political consensus forgot. It's snowing again. Only a few CM, but time will tell. A bit like Brexit. Performed my first surgery on a mod tonight, to read the whole sordid tail it is at Sbody Legend 2 - Good looking but built to a price. | E-Cigarette Forum...

    Sbody Legend 2 - Good looking but built to a price.

    I'm a sucker for a good looking mod, and seeing the above discounted by 50% was hard to resist. First impressions were overall positive, an attractive zinc alloy and resin mod with a thoroughbred DNA chipset that was well balanced in the hand using either a single 18650 or 22700 cell. The fire...

    Evening all, Hope everyone is healthy, happy and wise. Not much to report, being getting to grips with the Sbody and the Gas Mods GR1. I'll put a review of the former up on my blog when I get a chance. Seriously impressed with the GR1, flavour and airflow wise it is a much better fit to my...

    Legend II by sbody - Sbody Legend II DNA 75 Box Mod,good appearance&hand feeling The GR1 can do both dual and single coil, if you are going to use it in TC mode it is probably best to get the SS version.

    Afternoon all, Fastech and Ecigone deliveries. The GR1 Pro in single coil mode is really quite extraordinary, 22mm flavour in a 24mm package.

    Afternoon all, The rain doth pour down in Cumbria, and I've got to go out. However, it is the weekend soon and my mod and new dripper arrives Monday.

    Was wondering that @Heartsdelight , they are different colours so might be a different specification. I could always try putting it through my ultrasonic cleaner, every top cap I own pretty much jams solid on the o-rings after that :(.

    Evening all, Have had an interesting day bonding with my new atty. For a bottom airflow tank it has passed the 24 hour leak test with flying colours, not even a dribble of juice with a rayon wick. Flavour wise, it is not as intense as the original RDA, or the MK1 RTA. Tried it with a...

    The beast Bathtime Coiled, wicked and all juiced up Sacrilege - A tank on a squonker - outrageous !!! First impressions, much more practical than the original Wasp Nano RTA, being easier to fill. Not quite as flavourful though, may need to tweak the coil used. Lots of cloud at 32W full...

    Evening all. Hope everyone is OK in Shineyland. All I can say is wow. My Wasp RTA arrived today, pics and comments after supper, but paying the extra couple of $'s for carriage was worth it. 9 days from China to the UK, you can't complain at that in the slightest. Looks like I'm going to have...
