Isn't Alcohol a de-hydrant :( not that I drink much anyway, still got 4 bottles of my favourite Belgian beer in the cupboard that my mate brought over in August, might have them at Christmas, not a home drinker, prefer to drink when I go out, but even then, I don't drink much these days.

I don't drink water on it's own, but I do have a pint pot mug of coffee about 4 times a day, and some apple/black squash in the late evening

Terry, just tried the 2 creams in my dripper, 0.3 ohms @ 20w - the whipped cream was nice, very creamy and not too sweet, but the sweet cream nearly made me cough my lungs up at first, but it has now settled down, and to be quite honest there is not much difference, probably a little sweeter, so the verdict, I could vape the whipped cream on it's own, but think the sweet cream is probably best mixed with something, I'm going to try it with my mixed coffee as that is now starting to taste stronger.

That's all I do now is 3mm coils tightly wound, but if you think getting 26g round the screws is hard you want to try 22g :laugh:, I mostly use 8-10 wraps of 28g most of the time, but have tried the 22 and 26, only one I haven't had a go at yet is the 24g, emptied a KFL+ v2 earlier today gave it a good wash, dry burn to clean the coil 1.3ohm and it came up perfect, put some naturevape cotton in and filled it up with some Lemon Bar and it was gorgeous.

I keep the 22g for the drippers that have the holes in the posts, lot easier :lol: 4 or 5 wraps to get sub ohm builds, but not too low about 0.3 to 0.7 is what I prefer.

You're right mate, don't think I'll be going any thicker than 26g on a Kayfun, unless I can find some larger headed screws. The pos screw trapped the coil leg quite easily, just the neg that was a pain. In the end, had to virtually do a full twist round the screw to get a connection :)

I'm planning on doing a twisted wire build at some point with 3 different thicknesses of wire, just for a laugh :laugh:

I was wanting to avoid battery chargers, and although that $43 one has usb charging, it's only 1500mah (which I hadn't noticed until Bob pointed it out to me). The $49 one is also usb but more powerful.$49.00 HANA MODZ Pack DNA 30 Style Mod - 1*18650 / 7W-30W / battery not included at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Still feel undecided today :laugh:


:ohmy: :blink: whose?

Guess you could buy the Hana, with a couple of 18650 spare batteries and just charge them up via the USB port. Must admit I do prefer taking my batts out to charge them, never been a fan of USB charging, don't know why.

My Dad was great at lighting farts :laugh:

No warranty for me, got it in a contest last Christmas, was free, so can't complain.


Yep, was a Pain for ME, Glad you are getting some use out of it. :)

Heard the same thing, Reviews are good on it, which is why I ordered one.


Does Beer Count? :) :toast::thumbs:

Vape On
Burnie
:vapor:

That's not too bad then Burnie, if you win something in a contest, it's a bonus if it lasts a while :D

Well beer was good enough for our Ancestors, who couldn't drink the polluted water, so why not :laugh:

Cleaned out the tank containing the Grappler and refilled with Get Razzled. Have to say with a decent contact coil, it's an amazing improvement :thumbs:

I'm getting loads of lovely raspberry flavour and a nice subtle sweet creaminess in the background. No sign of any beaver .... taste either :laugh::lol:

Here's some decent descriptions from The Flavour Apprentice who supply a lot of the cream flavours
Sweet Cream: Perfumers Apprentice - Sweet Cream Flavor
Whipped Cream:Perfumers Apprentice - Whipped Cream Flavor
It seems that the Sweet Cream does have the 'custard' additives but the Whipped Cream does not.

Guess you could buy the Hana, with a couple of 18650 spare batteries and just charge them up via the USB port. Must admit I do prefer taking my batts out to charge them, never been a fan of USB charging, don't know why.
Still undecided - the size is still putting me off, so still thinking about it. I stupidly got two Sony 18650 batteries before ordering the Hana and then realising it was wider than the MVP2!

My Dad was great at lighting farts :laugh:
....yes, but whose? :facepalm:

I have a bottle of water on my desk all the time - don't always remember to keep drinking it though - but I do get through literally pints of tea each day :laugh:

The sore throat and gums, painful teeth etc. is something I recognise: a particular type of vanilla! Never able to know what brand of vanilla flavouring(s), but it was the very first flavour to give me this problem: That was one by Mystic: Eldorado. Very nice but it literally shredded my throat and gums and made me very wheezy. It wasn't long after that I found I couldn't use much PG either, but have encountered one or two more vanillas that had a similar effect in VG since!

Just refilled my trusty Nautili with Mint choc Vapetto and Posset ..they don't disagree with me! :)

I reckon you could probably use your Sweet Cream with some others just for a change - things like Spottedick for instance? And if you have any fruit ones, they'd likely be nice with a little bit of cream.

Must admit trisha, i also prefer tea to water. I sup cup after cup of it. :laugh:

Speaking of alcohol being a de-hydrater bob, so is coffee :laugh:

maybe .3 ohms is just too low for that particular juice bob, i know when i first tried some in a kayfun @ around 1.4 it was bloody good :) But like you say, if nothing else it is fantastic for mixing with.

Trisha, as promised here is my side by side comarison of the lemon cake liquids.

Chefs lemon coconut cream cake...Very very nice indeed, i get a nice lemon with a hint of coconut on the inhale, and a lovely creamy exhale. My only criticism would be that i don`t get a lot of cake flavour, and perhaps it could be a bit stronger on the lemon but that certainly wouldn`t stop me buying it again.

MBV lemon bar...Really it has all been said before by bob and myself, but this one has a lot stronger lemon flavour on the inhale, and a really nice cakey exhale. By adding a bit of sweet cream to this one just puts it on another level really, and instead of getting just the cake on the exhale, you get a nice creamy cake. :)

So to the scores on the doors... It`s a really difficult one, but, and it is a big but, if i could only have one of them i would have to choose.....Damn i gotta go so will tell you later. :evil: :laugh:

Trouble is I've never liked tea really, when I first started on the railway, I used to drink it because it was the only thing we got a discount on, but then they started giving us discounts on anything so I went back to my coffee.

It's quite possible it didn't like the sub ohm, but I wanted to do the test under the same conditions to see the difference, and the whipped cream was definitely the better juice, if they had both been bad I would have tried a different set up.

Just emptied my VTR/iclear30s of the strong mixed coffees and made up a 50/50 of it with the sweet cream and it tastes much better, so that's good use for it anyway.

That's good to know, another use for the Sweet Cream, what percentages of each would you use in say a 10ml bottle

Me too! First thing I look for each morning ..and these days, no nicotine right away to accompany it!
If there's no tea in the pot, something's up! ;)

Speaking of alcohol being a de-hydrater bob, so is coffee :laugh:
I've read conflicting reports that any beverage with caffeine is a mild diuretic, hence dehydrating - some say it's so minimal as to not be worth mentioning, others give dire warnings! The same applies to whether tea etc. substitutes for water to hydrate - some say it's fine, others say nothing replaces water ...I do think a little pure water (if there is such a thing!) is good because it doesn't add anything that needs filtering and helps to flush out any built up toxins, but then, I reckon tea doesn't do such a bad job anyway!
So, when you add up the yays and the nays, make up your own mind and worry ye not! :)

As for alcohol, yes, that does have quite profound effects on hydration, nervous system, digestive system, circulation, liver etc. Treat with respect and not over-used, it's probably not dangerous.

Mmm, another one i had been looking at buying ian, will definitely get some now next time i order. :)
I like cream type raspberry ones with plenty of flavour, so there's another possibility! :)

:lol:He`ll catch on soon trish, :laugh:
:laugh: I wonder! ...the mental image of a cartoon backside behaving like a blowtorch is quite funny! :facepalm:

I get very similar flavours from the LCCC - love how the coconut is subtle because it's one I don't like in a more positive flavour. Yes, the lemon is mild, sort of a cooked lemon curd type flavour, and the cake is also mild, but also definitely there. The cream with the cooked lemon is so lovely though!
My Dad used to make me lemon cream sponge cakes and they were wonderful - the lemon and cream always made the cake take a back seat for flavour though. It's probably remembering that which makes me like this LCCC so much.

Lew & Karl did tell me to steep it for two weeks and I didn't do that (it was freshly mixed when we got ours because the flavouring had been delayed) I like seeing how a new one progresses through from new to well steeped though. Still, the one you just tasted is over a week old now isn't it?

So to the scores on the doors... It`s a really difficult one, but, and it is a big but, if i could only have one of them i would have to choose.....Damn i gotta go so will tell you later. :evil: :laugh:
Duh! that's it, run off right at the important part! :sneaky: - bad as that twirp on TV who pretends to be going to give a result and then says 'after the ad break'! Grr! :laugh:

I may just try the Lemon Bar at some point though!

Well i would have to say.............................................. It`s chefs :laugh: The reason mainly being it is a far more complex vape with the hint of coconut, and lovely creaminess. :D

I reckon you'll be convinced in the end Trisha, the colour will continue to haunt you until you press the button :laugh: Sometimes I've ordered mods but thinking they'll be too big, but you soon get used to the size. When I first got my Vamo, many moons ago, I was shocked by how big it was, took a week or two to get used to it, now it's just second nature. I think the weight of a mod and how tactile the switch is, is harder to get used to than the size.

I was having a blonde moment :facepalm: :p He could light his own farts, had to lay on the floor with his legs in the air, doing the dying fly :laugh:

Ian, I love the MBV Bavarian Cream on it's own, unlike the VapeMate version, which I now use to mix with others, in fact I have to refill my Gizmo 17/Gladius back up with it, think there is only 1 more vape left :laugh:

Cheers Bob. I was wondering about the difference in taste too mate :)

Mmm, another one i had been looking at buying ian, will definitely get some now next time i order. :)

I'd give the Get Razzled a solid 8/10 now Terry, the Grappler is still cr a p though :laugh:


Not a fan then Terry :p

:lol:He`ll catch on soon trish, :laugh:

So I'm a dope, I admit it :oops:

Well i would have to say.............................................. It`s chefs :laugh: The reason mainly being it is a far more complex vape with the hint of coconut, and lovely creaminess. :D

What a tease. I was convince you were going to say MBV :?:

Well, had a lovely day today.

Been out for a meal at tea time with most of the Wife's side of the family. It's a place in Rochdale, an all you can eat buffet for less than 11 quid. Big selection too - American, English, Italian, Tai, Chinese, Indian and a dedicated Veggie section, plus a mountain of desserts. Needless to say, I stuffed my face :laugh: Had 5 plate fulls then 2 lots of dessert. Was gonna fill up a doggie bag too, but the staff were watching me :laugh: Came home and watched the film "Annabelle" with the Wife and Step-son. Bad idea to watch a scary movie when your belly is full to bursting :ohmy:
