Tomorrow will be a better day Lisa, it's my day off :D

I think you've been hanging around with us too much - preggo, noodleheads, lovlie buggers - you're turning British 8-o :lol:

Spaghetti sounds good, with Italian meatballs. I had a chicken madras tonight, mmmm lovely. I'm thinking of getting a magnifying stand for when I'm doing micro-coils, might be an idea if you want to get back into rba's. Don't get the FT magnifying specs though like Terry did, he said they were rubbish :nah:

Still smoke free Lisa ???

I've got some type of large magnifying glass marked as well as some watchmaker's glasses =] LIGHTED WATCHMAKER'S GLASSES! I'll be ordering them for every little thing I've been complaining that I can no longer see!

Nope, I am still smoking! A couple a day, unfortunately :/ I've found that the nicotine bothers my throat, so I rage vape by sucking the vape into my mouth, savoring it with my tongue, and then blowing it out... I doubt that this is giving me the nicotine I need AND... I need to try harder and not be ashamed of walking around in public with a huge PV :/ If they give me funny looks, I need to tell them it's an eCig and not a *%$#@$ device.

Do you not inhale when you vape lisa ?

If not, i don`t think you will get the nicotine hit, what we crave.

Inhaling anything above 12mg burns my throat, makes it raw, and makes me cough until my eyes water... Several have suggested I go with high VG and higher nicotine since many claim the PG gives the TH... I might mix up something tonight... thin out my Turkish juice with some VG and then add nicotine.

Yes i think it is the pg which may be irritating your throat lisa. have you tried 100% vg ?.

On another note it has just happened to me :cry: the threads on my sentinel are knackered, all i did was take off my V5 to put it on my ba-gua, went to put a protank on the sentinel, and it is not having any of it.

I even tried to put an ego adaptor on so i could use an evod, nope (threads spinning) Ah well after 12 months of vaping, it is the only mod i have had too chuck out.

Another lesson learned, about aluninium threads.

Mmmmm, can you pull them out? Have someone with machining experience put in a new thread post? OR email Fasttech IMMEDIATELY and say you want a refund or replacement!

Have a try at a higher VG mix Lisa, should help a lot. Although I do inhale, it's very rarely a deep lung inhale. I usually take a draw, shallow inhale and exhale through the nose, at the same time taking another draw. The second draw I hold in the mouth, shallow inhale again and exhale (smoke rings are optional at this point).

You do absorb more nic through the mouth and nasal passages than a direct lung hit. So the longer you hold the vapour in the mouth or nose, the better the effect. This works for me :vapor:

Placed an order on the 5th, it is finally in St. Louis, and I suspect it will be here today or tomorrow. Still waiting on the order I placed on the 10th. Both went through Hong Kong post. I'm beyond excited for my vapemail :) lets hope my batteries made it through with my vamo v3.

Terry, if you can cope with an ego adaptor permanently in the sentinel. Wrap a bit of copper wire, the sort in electrical cable, around the threads of the ego adaptor. Then screw it tightly into the sentinel - you'll need some pliers to do this. It should re-cut the threads in the sentinel, but obviously you won't be able to take the adaptor out again.

Or maybe give Paul a shout, see if he can do anything with it, mate.

I didn`t get it from f/t lisa, i got it from vaporbreak Quite a while ago now. so the warranty will be void now, as i said it is no biggie as it only cost me about £9.00.

This is why we all have back ups eh.

Yes, I do shallow hits, in the mouth, hold, shallow inhale to go out the nose. As long as the nose hair doesn't get singed, I continue LOL I've mixed up some 80% VG this AM and added nic and some flavoring. I put it in a Vivi Nova Tank with a Bolt and it's too harsh to inhale, coughing fits galore. I put it in a Valley View Vapes polypro tank with a double punched Boge carto with a K100 and I can take a deep lung inhale with no stress. Again, it's what you use, PV as well as topper, I suppose.

It's very smooth, but a bit sweet... and I didn't add any sweetener LOL

You're right Lisa, it's just a case of finding what works best for you.

Well I've been having a play today.

Not used my k100 yet, so decided to pull it all apart - I thought if I ruin it, it's not a problem. Managed to get the top cap off (with some mole grips) and fully take apart the switch. Sanded all the contacts back to brass and then spent an hour putting it back together again. It was a real pain to get the tiny black circlip back over the switch, but I managed after dropping it at least 10 times. Compressed the main spring a bit with the help of some heat and the mole grips again, to ease the switch throw a bit.

Then I made up a 1.2 ohm coil in a vivi nova with a cotton wick and filled up with some vapology Pear/blackberry/honey drizzle. All I will say is WOW
This thing is a serious smoke machine, had to put a longer drip tip on to cool the vape down a bit. This thing is a monster. No word of a lie, I've gone through a ml of juice in about 10 minutes, the room is completely fogged up :vapor:

Serious nic, vapour and flavour from this thing, even better than dripping :D

*sigh* I have a kick in my K100 and that's as far as I'll ever go. You are very lucky to be so handy, Ian =]

I added a champagne flavoring to my 80% VG and vaped four 4ml tanks at home this AM. I think I need to up the nicotine because I was monster vaping it on the way to work as well. Or VG burns up very easily :/ Anyway, it is very smooth, with a deep inhale or not =] I think I am on the right track with the increased VG, so I appreciate the advice <3

At work now and just waiting for time to pass... wanting to get back home and add some more nicotine... I have 24mg straight nicotine but am not sure how much to add to a 30ml bottle of DIY :/
