The YK1 dripper is a nice easy piece of kit to try too, good price from FT too. You have to be careful when taking it apart the first time though, the seals are really tight at first, I had to carefully apply some heat to mine to split it open.

Have you got a link to the EU news please mate ??? Glad they've finally seen sense on this, but to be honest, I don't think they would get a medicinal ruling for e-cigs. Good news though for us EU vapers :party:

BBC News - MEPs tighten anti-tobacco laws aimed at young smokers

A triumph for vapers, smokers and (most importantly) common sense: the European Parliament rejected the medicinal regulation for e-cigarettes

If you want to get more clouds and flavour mate (without spending loads), just get your re-coiling perfected. With a nova re-coiled with cotton running 1-1.3 ohms I can get a vape that's almost on par with the KFL or even the Reo & RM2 - not quite as good, but pretty damn close :D

I've yet to return to my attempts at coiling since saturday! I may give it another go tonight. I'm hoping (probably incorrectly!) that i will find the KFL easier than the Aga. I shall soon see!

Good news from Europe, but i dont know how this would impact on the UK's own potential regulations, time will tell, but at least it's a step in the right direction for now :)

I've been doing a bit of browsing today (no change there!) and keep reading about bottom feeders and how they are better for dripping, etc. Obviously one of the reasons that the REO seems so popular and i was just wondering what the advantages are?

My ulterior motive for asking is that i spotted something called a 'skynet' on ukecig store which you use to convert your provari into a bottom feeder. I've seen a little information on them, and saw a vid showing how it works, although it was in italian!

It's not something i will be buying this year, but it's another of the many many possibilities i would like to explore in the future :)

That's not a bad price Lisa, just a shame about the MOQ though. I'm pretty sure there will be someone running a co-op on these at some time in the future, maybe post this up in the co-op interest section, see if anyone wants to host it ;)

This is a real easy coil that I used on the kayfun mini codz so I would imagine it would work just as well on the KFL.

From memory I think it was 28g nichrome60 and about 0.8 ohms.

Vaped realy well BTW.

Cody, if you want any easy to use bottom feeder, I'd suggest the Vmod to start with. It's a lot cheaper than the Reo, comes with the AMG hybrid atty (which is superb), plus there's some great threads on here about the Vmod.

The Reo will work with bottom fed attys, but from what I've read the best experience is with the Reomizer 2 rebuildable, which is what I got with mine. So you need to be able to build a decent coil to get the best results.

There's a bit of a learning curve with both, but for me, out of the box, I think the Vmod is easier - they do regular discount deals too if you sign up at the vapage.com site. The only thing to learn with the Vmod is how to feed it properly.

Thanks ian i will check it out later on,

I was trying to test my battery`s on A/C when it should have been on D/C so i have sussed that out, It is just reading OHM`s i am unsure of now.

You'll probably find you need to check the ohms on the lowest setting on the meter mate. When you turn the dial to the right position it should show a 1 on the display before you start checking the coil. Also, touch the two probes together so you get a reading to deduct for zeroing. With mine it reads 0.5 ohms with the two probes touching, so I just deduct that off my final reading.

That looks pretty similar to my coil set up on the KFL too Paul, I do leave my tails a little bit longer, but that's just me. Currently mine's running about 1.3 ohms using 30 g kanthal.

Cotton in a Kayfun is superb. In fact, I've gone through 5 tank fulls, diferent flavours each time, on the same wick/coil :)

Is that a cotton wick? My coils arent looking quite so neat as yours just yet either, but I'll certainly give it a try :)

They look well priced :) I'll wait until i can wrap a decent coil on the aga & KFL before i move onto anything else just yet, but i am interested in the other avenues there are for vaping. I cant see myself quitting any time soon, so it's worth the investment for me of trying out everything eventually and settling on the devices i like best.

Sometimes i think i am spending too much money, then i think how much i was spending on analogs and i could buy a provari, a KFL, a load of wick and wire & 100ml of my favourite juice every month and still break even! Crazy, when i think of it that way.

I've watched Chunkmeister and Greenman make that coil on their show one Saturday. It was very informative! All I remember is that the Greenman torched the coiled section between some pliers to keep it's shape... It would be a perfect piece to just add wick to with little trouble, but I think my gauge wire is too low :/ I have to check

I was only using it as a dripper Ian so didn't need to think about them reaching the juice so yeh, I would probably go a bit longer if using the tank.

Exactly the same way I feel mate. Now if I want something expensive, I just stay away from FT for a while and save up a bit :laugh:

I've spent a huge amount on mods and stuff so far, but still less than what I would have spent on stinkies. Once my last few orders come through, I won't need anything for a while (famous last words I know) ;)

That's how I build them too Lisa. Torch the coil in the pliers, my new needle nose have a permanent black covering on the ends :laugh:
