Anyone here used fasttech.

The apricot is supposedly not very strong - according to a couple of comments I read, but we don't all taste things in the same way ...hopefully it'll be a good one that you'll like
I like positive flavours too.

Edit - yes, speed reading - 'nite Ian

If it's quite mild in flavour I'll either use it only in a dripper, or see if I can perk it up with some extra flavouring. Having said that though, I've not had a mild tasting juice yet from NT. I'll try it and see

In use at the moment I have 2 x 16340s, 1 x 18350s, 2 x 18500s and 12 x 18650s, in the drawer there are 6 x 16340s, 20 x 18350s, 7 x 18500s and a whopping 35 x 18650s and 1 in a charger waiting, as you say "can never have enough batteries"

Bloody hell Bob, you've got more batts than me. I've got battery envy now

Ian makes a nice blackcurrant pipe, I am also keen on the lemon, and the lime vapes. You should try some of the posset from chefs, proper yum.

Glad you like it Terry. To be honest, I'm still not fully happy with the mix yet. Maybe it's just me being fussy, all these complex juices I keep vaping have probably spoiled me now for simple single flavour juices

Have a look at this thread, folks. Very interesting re: wicking materials:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/579535-new-member-michigan.html

I've done a fair bit of research, it is honestly a LOT safer than organic cotton. I'm really not concerned about using it as a wicking material. Even organic cottons use a rake of chemicals in the production stage, including pesticides. As long as their fully washed out of the finished product, they pose a tiny risk to us vapours. The rayon I've got is the same stuff they use in the operating theatre to soak up blood when they open someone up. The guy on here, that set us on the rayon path, has done a huge amount of research on the product. Amongst other things, he's got pages of proof on the safety of rayon as a wicking material. So no worries at all

Some very interesting points there mate, especially the second link. As pointed out, the rayon is only a transporter of the juice, and if you have done your build correctly there should not be any issues.

I will certainly continue using it, because i honestly do not think you will get a better flavour from your liquids, unless you drank it from the bottle And apart from that, i know our Ian has done his homework, and he wouldn`t recommend it if there was any danger.

EDIT: second link. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ck-better-flow-flavor-saturation-nic-hit.html

DOUBLE EDIT: I just set a bit on fire, to see if it is a polymer etc and it isn`t. It does indeed burn and smell the same as paper does, when lit. No danger there IMO.

There will always be concerns with vaping. People worry about silica fibres getting into the lungs when vaping, cotton degrading and producing toxins when it gets too dry, there's all sorts of scare stories - but we still vape. It's a lot better than smoking

Just found a UK seller on ebay that sells the Nemmy switches as part of a set. Comes with a locking ring, topcap and a few other bits. So I've ordered it. Means I can set up another Nemmy with all the spare tubes I've accumulated

Just seen them Ian, not a bad deal that.

Well, I've got that many spare tubes now, might as well turn them into something I can use

----------------------------------------

I've got 4 whole days off work now, happy days. So I'll be doing a load of rayon inserting Need to take time out to watch the British GP though, I've got a small wager on Hamilton to win, so there will be a lot of shouting at the TV in Ian's home this weekend

I realized something last night mate ! the kayfun in which i have got the RY, really started burning my throat. It is one with a low ohm coil i think about 1.2. so i have learned that the ry just doesn`t like low ohms. It`s a good job it has got rayon in, coz i think cotton would have burnt. It`s strange that it is the only juice i have got what behaves this way.

I have now put the kick in and turned it right doen to about 7 watts and it`s not so bad now.

Guess it's still a voyage of discovery with juices and rayon. Perhaps try a higher ohm coil next time mate see what happens. A larger diameter coil could make all the difference with your RY juice, worth a try mate. You can crank up the wattage again then

My Vmods are the same though, I can't use all juices in them, cos the ceramic hybrid coils don't bring out the full flavour in some juices - GVC tastes awful in a Vmod

I think you are right about the larger diameter coils with the rayon ian, the russian with the posset in has got ( not 100 % sure ) of the diameter, but it`s around 1.5.to 2mm. With the rayon stuffed in it i get tons of flavour and vapour, maybe time to do them all that way.

I'm pretty sure it will make a big difference Terry. Bigger coil, more wick and if you can open up the airflow even more, you'll be pumping out the vapour

The rayon doesn't seem to restrict juice flow, so more of everything makes a big difference.

Forgot to mention, have you gone off the cappuccino mate ?? Just wondered with you putting some in my parcel.

Yeah mate, i found it to be a bit too sickly sweet for my liking. Although it is nice, in all honesty the one from LT is perfect for me. I think if i ever got it again from vapology, i wouldn`t do the X2 flavour shot. Just too much IMO.

I've got a sweet tooth 2 flavour shots is perfect for me.

I'm gonna shoot off now anyway, starting to get a bit tired now, been up since 4.30am.

Night mate, see you tomorrow.

If I knew where to find what I read, I'd copy it, but not too sure what thread I saw it in.
Definitely something that made me think I couldn't dilute it with enough of a VG one and still taste the apricot ...may be great by itself!

I've never even considered the possibility of anything hazardous with the coils! Reading what has been said, surely the coil burns or heats the fibre (whatever type it is) and produces some sort of pollutant?
Only things that bothered me was the content of the liquids and safety of batteries.

As an aside, I'm starting to seriously wonder if I'll have to go back to small stuff - seems since I got the bigger batteries etc., I've had more problems, and that could be down to using more liquid with things like Unitanks and Protanks on more powerful batteries.

Trish a properly built coil and wick, using the correct wicking material will not produce anything hazardous. If the wick is kept wet, all you will get is the coil producing some lovely vapour.

As for going back to using smaller batteries, can you not just notch down the watts on your device ?

Ah, I see ...of course it doesn't 'burn' or produce anything as long as it's wet! I hadn't really considered that aspect! I'm tired, so not thinking as sharply as I should!

Don't know - would reducing the wattage make a difference? The MVP's are at 8W and I'm not too sure about the Spinner ll and cTwist - both set at 3.8V.
I've been totally spoilt with the flavours from CV and the extra power from the bigger batteries and the efficient Unitanks/Protanks - thing is, I'm fed up of getting spells of not being able to breathe properly.
I used some NT Banana Pudding for just 10 minutes yesterday afternoon and by late evening couldn't breathe properly - still wheezy today! Day before, it was GCD. The Banana one is likely down to the 50% PG, the GCD probably cinnamon.

Perhaps I need to make a greater effort to draw lighter & inhale shallowly, and take more care with the flavours that don't agree with me too!

Yes trisha, if you lower the wattage the vape won`t be as harsh on the MVP`S, maybe that could be contributing to your problem. If i remember correctly, i think the cigalikes put out between 3.4 to 3.7 volts.

So if you change your devices from watts to volts, and start from 3.4 volts to see how you go on. We all spoil ourselves trish sometimes.

Ego batteries can be fun. They have a way of surprising you as to how good they are. You don't need twists or anything fancy - they are designed to deliver a flat voltage that is consistent. Stick an LR 510 atty on one with a cone and drip tip. You'll be amazed at how much vapour you get, how good it tastes, and how easy it is to use. This is how dripping started.

 

[terry w]

I just bagged meself another 50 ml of Spotted dic and custard, 30 ml of lews brew, and another 10 ml of posset from the masters themselves.

I know where you are coming from pipe, but in trisha`s case she is having a few problems regarding her breathing etc and so is doing a lot of chopping and changing with liquids etc.

It is best for her IMO, to stick with the devices she already has, and tweak them to perfection. It is, as we all know a steep learning curve to begin with, but with our help we will get her there.

 

[turnippits]

we sure will it will be a great day when trish gets there and until then we can only help her on the way I agree with you Terry small changes can bring big results when you get it right change to much in one go may improve life but you are back where you started not knowing what it was

If there are breathing issues I'd use straight glycerine and nothing else first. If that can be vaped with no issues then add nic.. If still no issues then try a flavour. I wouldn't use any pg - it doesn't work for everyone.
