I think they may be a little expensive for my first rda... are they the ones that are about £50?

And on the provari.... i do like the red, although i prefer the black, but better yet the blue :) (and i see LF have a blue in stock, last one aswell, dammit! may have to pay them a visit in the morning!)

Edit: It's not sky blue at least!

I got mine from F/T for about £15 mate, you could always phone L/F and reserve it. LOL just seen your edit.

Bloody hell, I go away for a few hours and I've got 4 pages of catch up to do :laugh:

So I apologise in advance if I miss any replies.

I've just ordered the Reo, RM2 and a better button - no other spares just yet (the package shipped today too).

That multimeter should do the job just fine, it's got the ohm setting and voltage setting for checking batteries etc.

Hope your coiling gets better, you'll need to perfect it for a KFL, their not as forgiving as an aga.

Well, I hope that covers everything, can you all please limit your posts to a maximum of 3 in future please :p:lol:

Cheers Terry :)

I meant to tell you aswell... (although you prob already know) the vapemesh company you recommended offer 5% discount on everything if you are a member of any vaping forums. Not much like, but better than no discount.

Cheers cody,

No i didn`t know about the discount, I will use it next time.

I'm getting nowhere fast tonight! I've tried wrapping a coil around a toothpick, a matchstick and the needle again. All coming out in the range of about 1.5 - 2.0, which is around where i want it, so fine there. When i start pulsing it, the coil is lighting up evenly, no hotspots. I've tried a fairly loosely wrapped one and another tight one and everything inbetween but im getting nothing but dry hits and just cant figure out where i am going wrong here.

Can the wick touch the bottom of the tank? I tried playing around with the length of the wick wondering it that was the problem so instead of a shortish one that only goes a into the liquid a bit, i tried one that bunches a little and settles on the bottom of the tank to see if that helps, but no change. I've left them and come back to them, primed the coil with a bit of juice aswell and once that initial bit of juice is burnt off then its back to the same awful dry hits :(

Any advice would be appreciated, i cant suss out what's wrong at all at the moment. I've left it and come back to it, no change still. Tried it on the mech and the evic with same results (actually, evic seems a bit more willing to take it if anything)

The button was a wise move T, I never ordered one when I got my grand but I wouldn't be without it now.

Tell you what I'd really like mate, a red anodized one to match the battery cover. The button is the only thing I don't like about the Reo, it just doesn't look right in standard form to me.

I always have my wicks almost touching the bottom of the tank mate.

How tight is the wick in the wick hole, could be reducing flow a bit ?

Have you left a screw out of the top, so that the tank isn't completely sealed and air can replace the liquid as it's drawn out.

Check that the airhole in the topcap lines up with the coil (this is mainly for the draw though).

Make sure the wick isn't touching the pos, neg or the topcap.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know :)

Have you left a screw out of the top, so that the tank isn't completely sealed and air can replace the liquid as it's drawn out.- ahh yes, i do hope this is it! I have indeed left a screw out, i'll try putting that back on and see if it makes a difference :)

Check that the airhole in the topcap lines up with the coil (this is mainly for the draw though). - Yep, always do this.

Make sure the wick isn't touching the pos, neg or the topcap. - definitely not touching the pos or neg, but im not sure about the topcap... i'll trim it down a touch and try to make sure that isnt the case.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know :)

Thanks Ian. I'll give it a go with the above suggestions, then leave it a while and maybe come back to it tomorrow or i'll just get frustrated with it.

By the way, did i mention that despite thousands of attempts over several years, i never could manage RYO!!

I had a rolling machine ;)

I would suggest trying a vertical cotton coil though mate. The one in my aga has had 5 full tanks with different flavours every time and I've almost drained it down to the very bottom each time (using the nova tip and swirl technique when it's running low).

Any news on the coop tanks yet Ian ?

I'd left the screw out and am now trying to get it back in... however, it will just not bite at the thread at all. I tried with the other screw just to check it wasnt me and it came out and went back in no problem but this one is as though there is no thread in the hole :(

As i have just realised THERE IS NO THREAD in the hole because its the one where the wick goes D'oh!

Were both the holes threaded at the begining cody ?

If they were you may have mistakenly stripped the threads by accident. If this is the case, get to the wifes jewelery box and look for one of them little grommet things; what go behind a pin earing. the silicone ones, then use one of them as a plug.
