I'm gonna keep the coil in the Rocket mate, it's already got a decent 2mm mini coil in it. I'll just stick some cotton in it, take out the airflow screw and change all the seals - hopefully that should do the trick. I've already swapped out the post screws in it too, but I know what you mean mate, their way too small.

I reckon my JJ juice should be steeped by now, I've had it a week now - what do you think ??

I'm looking forward to your review on the Taifun too mate :)

Yes ian them juices will be calling out to you now (lovely):toast: as for the taifun, as soon as i get it up and running (you will all know what i think):p

I'm full of good advice today (not bull like the Wife keeps on telling me) :laugh:

Yeah it is really good how we all help each other mate, I think i will show my support later by becoming a supportin member. I don`t think i would be enjoying vaping as much as i do without this forum.

Great idea mate, it's not really that much per year for all the help and advice and laughs we have on here.

Anyway, I'm gonna shoot off now, a films just started that sounds pretty good "The Kingdom" I think it's called. See you later mate :)

I've been getting a fair bit of post to mate. I did contact Tim at Triphammer though, cos his order hasn't arrived yet. He's a great bloke, he's going to re-send the order for me. That's what I call good CS :)

I hope you get your TH juices throught soon mate... he is fast becoming my favourite supplier. I've only had a couple more since i was last on here (Rainbow Fizz & TRipperbockerglory) and they are both lovely, particularly the TBG - it has a real ice cream flavour to it - i can pick out strawberry ice cream, vanilla ice cream and a raspberry sauce flavour to it (thankfully, no banana as i'm not too keen on it). He is good at his complex flavours - justifies the prices IMO.

Yes, where has Claire been? She's got the children, she's got the business, and she's got the recent hospital stay. Imma send her an email.

As far as the micro coils for those new FastTech toppers... I 'think' I made a 3/4 wrap with the mesh, but I forget. My camera isn't the best for close shots, but I did find the setting, so I'll play with it this weekend.

My co-worker has turned in her notice, so I've volunteered to work her 8 hour Sunday instead of the 4 hour Saturday, where I need to make up the other 4 hours the rest of the week.

Hope Claire is ok :)

I'll be bobbing in and out when i can over the next few weeks - I'm just trying to avoid sitting at my computer for too long as it's not good for my back and it's pretty much all i do work-wise through the day. Having said that i will be on here more over christmas i suspect.

I've been good and not ordered anything recently. I'll stick an order in with FT in the new year, but I am pretty much set for now with vape-gear. Ooodles of juice, although i still want to keep getting more samples of stuff in and loving pretty much every trip hammer flavour i try at the moment, but it's equally good when you look at the value offered by the Liqua juices on FT and JJ here in the UK. I've got my key lime, cherrry pie & peppermint steeping at the moment and i want to get some Liqua Berry mix to try in January as terry's description of Vimto sounds great :)

I'm steadily improving with my coil builds on the KFL & Aga although i've still got a long way to go before i get the best out of them. I think i need to buy some organic cotton and try that soon as nobody says anything other than really positive comments about it.

I wonder where claire is she hasn`t posted for a while :( hope she`s okay.

Me too mate, hope she's not ill again. It's awful being sick over chrimbo.

Me too mate, I'm looking forward to the stuff arriving. He said he's gonna send it out Recorded delivery this time. As I told him though, if the original order arrives as well as the replacement one, I'll let him know - I know how hard it is trying to run a web business, with people claiming stuff hasn't arrived when they're just after some freebies.

Just got my Vamo V5.

(shhhh)

Happy days mate.

Double pay for a Sunday is it Lisa ;) I'll be interested to see the coil pics too. I've still not found the lead for my camera yet.

You'll love the berry mix mate. I used it in my KFL for an extra flavour hit, tastes just great - but I've run out too. Glad that your coiling is getting better, you'll be onto micro and macro coils in no time :D

The cotton will make a big difference to the flavour, I reckon it's the best wick material ever.

So on to today's update :

I got vape mail :party:

The vapage order arrived and I didn't have any extra duty to pay happy days. So now I've got a Vmod XL in silver, a Vmod mini in silver as well as my original Vmod mini.

Washed out the Vmod XL and loaded it up with some GVC - superb.
Cleaned out the KFL, the YK1 dripper and the Rocket.
Recoiled the KFL with a 1mm macro coil with cotton, 1.7 ohms for about 12 wraps, filled up with my new "Gravity" green juice - :ohmy: what an incredible vape. I can see why Nicoticket juices sell so well in the USA, what an amazing fruity flavour. Really complex and deep, probably one of the best juices I've ever had :w00t:
Recoiled the YK1 with 2 x 1mm silica strips and ribbon wire, just over 1.0 ohm, tried the JJ "Irish Cream" juice in it, superb. I'll be dripping the other JJ juices later tonight.
Finally the Rocket - Terry do you want to buy 3 more Rockets mate :laugh:
Rewicked it with cotton (already had a decent micro coil on it). Took the airflow screw out completely. Put 3 new better O-rings on the tank sections and wrapped some tape around the fill screw. Filled her up with some choco caramel cookie and started vaping. Great, no leaking, no gurgling, nice airflow and reasonable flavour and vapour. Put it down to start on the YK1 and 5 minutes later, juice everywhere. It's now leaking from the bloody airflow hole, but not the one where the grub screw goes. So the Rocket is back in the sink :mad:

Yep mate, I've filled it that way. Covered the airhole too while filling. The leaking didn't start straight away, happened a couple of minutes after I put it down. I made sure there was an airgap too, I only filled it half way, cos I didn't want to waste a load of juice if it was still playing up.

Nah, not double pay, but an adjustment so that I am working 8 hour days and when I get paid for an 8 hour holi-day I am not shorted because my days are over 8 hours. I did realize a bit after the fact that I'd be off Saturday, so I could watch my shows BUT my shows go until 2-3AM and I must walk the pup at 7AM and be at work to open the building at 8:45AM :/ I'll have to limit my shows :'( Regardless, better in all other ways, I believe =]

I sent a message out to our girl, Claire, telling her we were missing her and I was doing my best to keep you sods from besmirching her good name =] It'll be good to see her again now that I've developed a fondness...

I'm a bit miffed at our FastTech... SG seems to have limited tracking information and my orders from 11/16 went to Hong Kong and then to Singapore and are still on a turntable somewhere... if I could cancel every last order, I would... I don't even know or want whatever it was that I ordered any longer :/ Sorry, just a bit of the seasonal moodiness here :/ I've got all of these toppers coming in and now I want a NEW MOD!

Must admit, I don't get double pay myself for Sundays. I do get a slightly better rate of pay for Saturdays and slightly better still for Sundays, but still not double. Only problem is, they tend to make the shifts 30 minutes shorter on Sat and 60 minutes shorter on a Sun. So the extra pay we get doesn't come to much :(

I think we're all missing Claire at the minute, I'm hoping she's just been busy with work and nothing else.

I reckon you have been sleep ordering Lisa :laugh: You've got some nice stuff on order though Lisa. The Kayfun, The Novice and some of those tips are really nice looking. No more items for me from FT til after chrimbo though. Once my Kayfun arrives that's everything in for me.

Try without covering the airhole mate, i don`t cover it when filling.

Have you tried any of the Nicoticket juices Lisa, I'm really impressed with them ??

Nah, Nicoticket is too expensive. I pay $40 for 236ml of juice with Mt Baker. Their wholesale site has 16OZ BULK BAKER VAPOR E JUICE for $34.99 - that's 473.176 mls BUT you pay your own shipping. Still worth it for me since I am familiar with many of their juices =]

I'll get back on the Rocket and suss it out mate, you know me I don't like giving up ;) Thanks for the tip too.

Jeez that's cheap Lisa for so much juice. Must admit though, I'm finding the more expensive juices do have more depth to the flavour. I'll have to see about trying some of the Mt Baker juice at some point though.

=================================================

Well I've been dripping some of the JJ juices. The Irish Cream is pretty good. I quite like the caramel tobacco blend - but to me it tastes a bit of caramel, a smooth tobacco, also a bit of curry sauce. Sounds weird I know, but I love curry sauce. Terry, sorry to say, I'm not really keen on the gold blend tobacco, it's a bit harsh for me, too much tobacco and not quite enough sweetness, plus it tastes a bit liquorice to me and I can't stand liquorice.

Maybe my taste buds are just shot today - curry and liquorice ;)

I'll leave the gold blend a bit longer and try again, but I think I'll be adding something else to it to sweeten it up a bit.
