Hey terry could you post a link to the orchid (s) you have and which one you reckon is the best? (I seem to recall you ordering about 3 or 4 but not sure how many you've actually received yet). Cheers mate.

In other news had a bit of minor dental work yesterday so the left side of my mouth was numb for most of the day. Even made vaping a little tricky, I wasn't able to keep that side of my mouth completely airtight so when I inhaled I was actually drawing in fresh air and vaping at the same time, "slipstreaming" as phil busardo calls it. When I exhaled vapour would spill out from that side of my mouth whichever way I exhaled so I bet it looked kinda funny.

Have been trying some of those new concentrates I got from chefs over the past few days and some of them are already nice at the conc I mixed them at and a few days steep. Calipitter chow from mom and pops is like a slightly buttery shortbread cracker or something, nice and "savoury", not too sweet so goes with drinking a coffee or a beer quite well. :toast: You can have too many sweet vapes I find! I'll post my proper thoughts on them once I've let them have a proper steep and maybe adjusted the strength, at the moment the cinnamon danish swirl is still tasting a bit funky, but I'm hopeful it'll settle down. :glare:

THESE Are the ones i have got Adam, two in use and one still in transit. I built my second one earlier, but don`t have time to chat right now, but i will be back later :) as i got some more vapemail today, :D

They have just returned with the news that I can go home straight away just have to wait for the nurse to bring me a big bag of medication now then I am off to the shops for a battery or 2
then I will get home and back on the Terry magic dripper I cannot wait
Nice! :) You'll be glad to get home ....easy does it! ;)

Just wasn't sure whether you knew about Star Wars
...with two sons in their 40's, two grandsons, not to mention the little green talking guy sat on top of my monitor ? :laugh: ....I believe the 'monk' was Obi-Wan Kenobi ? :)
I perhaps, in a moment of reckless mischief, liked the notion of a monk standing on a live cable :unsure: .....:lol:

No rush, I still have quite a bit to get through anyway
OK! :)

I think we've all been there, carpets, chairs, clothes and of course fingers, leaving them in the ashtray until they fell off so the table got a brown mark, my ashtray only got emptied when I couldn't put any more in it :lol: luckily we have been converted ( I've still got the missus though :( )
I may not have found it so easy if there'd been another smoker in the house! ...I still think it was very easy for someone who has been a heavy smoker!
The hard part for me is getting around the awful rspiratory problems from PG and certain flavours!

I've got the iSticks down at 5W with 2.0ohm coils so that it's as mild as it can be! - I remember saying how much faster the liquid disappeared when I started using a Unitank & Protank ....was nothing compared to how it is using these iSticks with the MOW & mini Nautilus!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I got the MOW Mega tank in SS today: 2.8ml and 19mm - very little overhang, so really good to use with the iStick! :) Same thread as the mini Nautilus, and just about the same size too, but holds more compared to the Nautilus 2ml! Now I'll see if it works as well as the smaller version!

Incidentally, the MOW takes the V2 Kanger coils, and they go down from 1.8ohm & 1.5ohm to 1.0ohm and 0.8ohm!

No Nicoticket ACB for me today: it's 50/50 PG/VG :(

Clouper looks fantastic bob :toast:, And Vinnie, i built my second orchid today 7 wraps of 30 gauge, around a 3mm drill bit 1.4 ohms. :) Tried filling again using the fill port and a syringe. Not a bloody chance, just getting nothing in there. :(

So i went for the top fill. covering both airholes while filling, topcap on till it bit, flipped upside down and tightened. No leaks at all. I filled with GVC, put it on my HANA:laugh: which arrived today, set it at 17 watts. Talk about a lovely creamy custard vape, it is bloody lovely, though i think 12 mg is a bit much.

Anyhoo, here she is... And Ian you have been well and truely Beaten :lol:

I think maybe we should rename this thread "the Eleaf iStick fan club" :laugh: (EDIT: I know the hana is the thing you're showing us but I spotted multiple iSticks in the background!)

Also at work I was using a different computer today so googled "fasttech" to get it and this thread is the 2nd link that comes up (or least for someone googling from the UK). :toast:

Going to empty, clean, dry burn and re wick my kayfun this evening, that twisted 30ga coil is starting to lose it's punch I think. Not bad for maybe a month of vaping it every day at work (it gets more of a rest at weekends :) ).

Went down the high street today and stuck my nose 'thru the door of the local vape shop.
They're stocking isticks now.

£38.99:facepalm:

When i asked them a month ago,they'd never heard of them.Mind you they don't actually know what a Provari is.
I'm afraid all the shops around here are just riding the gravy train,no interest for vaping what so ever.

You been at the potcheen too Trish ? :laugh:
:lol: no! The little Green Man is of course Yoda! He's really great - eldest son brought him for me a few months ago!
Apart from a glass of wine a couple of times a month, I don't drink Vince, let alone the hard stuff, so no, not one of those little green men! :facepalm:!

If you have any 2.4 ohm coils they would, according to the ohms law calc
give about the same amount of heat as a 1.8 ohm coil at 8 watts, when your istick is at
full charge
Thanks. Shame that neither Nautilus or V2 coils come higher than 1.8ohm. I've been buying as many genuine 2.0ohm V2's as I can before they all disappear ..for some reason they only had them available for a couple of months.
Fasttech have the non-authentic 2.0ohm, so I'll get some of those too.
Meant to try an Evod tank on the iStick today as I can get 2.5ohm coils in those! I'll try one in a little while!

Heck, we'd better behave ourselves then ...we tend to think it's just us chatting, but you never know who is reading! :blink:

Oh-ho! Who's smug then! :laugh: Every right Terry - it's great that you have it and it's working well! :thumb:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________


Fasttech have accepted the £9.38 return cost for the mini Hana! Means I have to go to the post office and get one of the forms filled out and send it! They say they'll refund the return cost if I send a photo of the receipt!
Wonder if they've had a lot of dud ones and are sending them all back to whoever made them!

And...I just tried an Evod with a 2.2ohm coil in it on an iStick - works well! I'll need to get some 2.5ohm coils now! Still, a single coil will mean less liquid used = less gunk & better breathing! ;)
I'll use one or two with my most used ones! - don't like the fixed plastic top on the Evod basic, but still, it's something I can use a 2.5ohm coil with!

Nice one ! I got a different sku to you and on both of mine the chimney leaves room

for a normal needle nose bottle, although I haven't tried filling yet, if it gives me any grief

I'll buy a couple of kayfun top fill caps

Did you get the ones with the pmma tank section, or the ones with the pmma drip tips ?

Sorry trish, that post was more directed towards Ian :laugh: He wanted a race, he got a race, and he lost a race. ( Easily ) :lol:

In the pics i posted, the Hana had a kayfun on top... Here it is with the orchid. 20141125_203138.jpg :D

Well thats good news trish, get it sent back pronto :laugh: It is quite possible that they just got a bad batch i suppose ! It`s obvious that fasttech don`t test anything before sending stuff out, but i am guessing that would be way too time consuming.

OK! :)

Noooooo so wrong, that was Emperor Palpatine the evil one who was Darth Vader's Master, Obi-wan was was the goodie who got killed by Darth Vader whom he taught when he was a lot younger and before he turned to the Dark side

Yeah cheers pal just having a look now. Taking my time to weigh up my next tank purchase, it'll be an orchid or a lemo I reckon, probably leaning towards a lemo but not many shops have them online just yet.

Dry burned and rewicked my kayfun, those twisted coils do gunk up nicely haha. Firing much better now, filled it up with some ry4 asian, nice smooth mild tobacco with more caramel than my usual inawera ry4, but I'm going to make it stronger next batch :laugh:

I've found that in a few vape shops I've been in as well, a lot of them only stock eGos maybe a couple of Innokins and Joyetechs, and eJuice you've never heard of, and clearos, mainly older Kanger, Innokin and cheapo CE4/5 types, and someone behind the counter who knows nothing about vaping

I must be lucky, I'm in cardiff and we have a couple damn good shops here, the guys know (and use) the gear they sell and always have time for a chat and to help
