Certainly have, prepare for every eventuality - I should have been a boy scout :laugh:
..don't they go around lighting fires and tying knots in everything! :laugh:

I use it for flavour concentrates too, to suss out how much I'll use in my DIY juice.
I'm not that intuitive with flavour yet by a long way!

Most Doctors just seem to rely on their Medical journals rather than doing much research I guess. Shame really, all Doctors should get on the vaping bandwagon :)
The one we got stuck with when our last one retired probably didn't even read any journals!
I've just found out that the Sister (practitioner at our practice) is retiring at the end of the month, so we'll be looking for a new practice, because she's the last one we can trust there.
Seems a few things are unravelling lately! :(

Yee Haaa ! :laugh: Bloody Lemo`s at fasttech have gone to restocking again :mad: So i thought sod this for a game of soldiers :laugh: I went on ali express, and they have the Lemo drops, cheaper than FT`s lemo.
So i have cancelled the FT order and gone for a refund, and ordered 3 Lemo drops from Ali instead. :laugh:
They do seem very popular! Is Eleaf set to make all the rest up their game I wonder?

I mix with 50/50 PG/VG and used 20% lemon bar concentrate, it was good enough to vape after only a few days but definitely smoothed out a bit after ~2 weeks. I was happy enough with the strength that I'll probably just use 20% again. The recommendation of upto 40% suggested to me before I tried it that maybe their concentrates are weak but I didn't think so compared to other brands of complex flavours. Not sure how using all VG would affect it in terms of % but you can always add more after a week or two of steeping.
When I saw the 'up to 40%' I thought I'd initially try 25%, so what you've just said sounds about right as a starting point for me :)
I need to find out which of the two Sicilian lemon flavours CV gets is the best, and I'll get some to add a bit more lemon now and then! It may reprieve the Limoncello I got from Highbrow as it's just not got enough lemon flavour.
I certainly think I have the decent menthol type I was looking for: MBV Extreme Ice and their White Out. First is a cool icy mint and the second a sweet cream & mint ...leaves a menthol type coolness behind when I mix them together.
Next time I order, I'll also try their Menthol Ice and G Men: Guava and menthol. CV doesn't seem to have any of those in concentrates.

I hadn`t even heard of e-leaf until they i-sticks came on to the scene trish :laugh: But yes they are doing something right for sure !

I made 3 orders with them so far. The first two took less than 4 weeks. I got exactly what I ordered. The third order includes a battery and so it can't be shipped airmail. It's been a week and is still in China waiting to be put on a slow boat.

They are very good, untill they give you a shipping date, and then the item keeps going to restocking ! I had exactly the same problem months ago when i was buying kayfuns. Put the order in, it gives you a shipping date, then it goes to restocking. Then you get another ship date, then it goes to restocking AGAIN !!! Things like that happening just make me shop elsewhere. :)

It was when I saw the brand iSmoka that I recognised it - hadn't bought anything iSmoka, but had seen the brand around.
I see they have a 1700mAh cylinder battery with 10W available (iJust), and some tanks GS14, GS16/16S and something called a GS Air shown on the homepage on an iStick, but there's no details on the site. iSmoka/Eleaf electronic cigarette

I'll need to have a mooch about, see if I can find anything about them ...not keen on keeping stocks of yet another type of coil though!

Wonder f these MOW tanks would work with a single coil in them ...I'm going through the Doughnut at an alarming rate! Can get 2.5ohm too in single.

I`m sure the mow would work with a single coil trish, can you buy single ? The other thing is with the gs tanks, they say they are bdc are they the same coils you use in some of the tanks you use . Plus if you got some 2.5 coils , they should slow the juice consumption down a fair bit :)

Not in the Kanger V2 type, but I have quite a lot of the original Kanger Evod single coils.

I get BVC for the Nautilus ..the old BDC Nautilus aren't as good ...the Kanger V2 type is a dual 'sort of vertical' coil (I think that's how to describe them as I think the inside is a bit like a ladder) and I've been buying up the genuine 2.0ohm while they're around as 1.8 will be the highest soon. I think FT do some 'type' though.
I did notice those coils could be very similar.

By the way, for those you who own or are about to own a Lemo, have you been able to adjust the postitive pin in the 510 connection at the base?

Mine screws around and around and around but no adjustment is ever made up or down.... it feels like it's just spinning in the insulator rather than screwing into threads or anything... :unsure:

I dont think you can buy single coils to fit a bdc atty, the coil chamber is taller on a bdc

so the tube that leads from the drip tip doesn't reach the grommet on the chimney to make a seal

some people have had success by putting an extra grommet on the chimney, but I would imagine that

it depends how big the gap is, you'd have to try it with some juice that you dont mind losing if it

doesn't work

If you knew a kind hearted person with the right wire to make you some 2.5ohm coils, I know for a fact

that you can wick with cotton without getting any flooding because I've done it with my gs-h5s

I'd volunteer myself but all my coils are bought pre made and would be unsuitable for your requirements

the extra grommet trick is worth a try

Can't remember if it was Todd or Phil said something about having to hold or turn the inside bit of the base to get it to adjust.

Orchid v4 and 2 Bell caps - put one of the Bell caps on an EHPRO KFL+ v2 and it looks nice on the VS DNA30 built the Orchid, first try with the wire that came with it was a total failure - juice piddling out the air holes, drained it and did a 29g 6 wraps round 2mm mandrel for a 1ohm build, by the time I had it fully installed with cotton (wrapped tails around the positive posts to get juice from the rear as well) it came out as 1.3 ohm on my P3 now vaping away with MBV Graham Cracker @ 18w = NICE

EDIT didn't use the tank that came with the Orchid - used one of my KFL+ Full size PolyC ones

Mine don`t seem to wick very well if i use ... cotton ( Dry hits ) but using rayon, they work bloody great, using the same method as you with the wick tails :)

You have to get it just right - too much=dry hits not enough=flooding, I just used some normal cotton (might have been the Lemo stuff) and just made sure it slid backwards and forwards through the coil without have to twist it, I then let it sag onto the coil side deck and put the tails round the back making sure there wasn't too much round the back.

I'm amazed that it only took a second go to get it right :lol:
One thing I don't like about the Orchid though is the 1 piece chimney - means you have to get the wick settled just right before you put it back on, unlike the KF

Yeah, i was the same bob, a couple of go`s and it was rockin :laugh: The chimney is a bit of a pain, as is filling them ! Have to fill really slowly, or it just comes back up, and all over your hand :laugh:

I have also started plugging the top cap with some tissue when filling, and that seems to help !
