But the one I pointed to wasn't a registry hack it was via the taskbar properties - there is a registry hack as well see here make sure you read it all before using any of the reg hacks.
I tried both ways bob, the registry didn`t work at all so i just did a system restore. I already had it done the taskbar properties way, that way you can only disable the top or bottom of the screen corners, so i disabled the top corner and i can live with it now. I just keep away from the bottom right corner. :laugh:
A couple of paracetamol, and warm salt water rinse at least once a day.
Yeah thats what i was advised bob. :)
I filled up one of my Mini Nautiluses the day before yesterday with some Strawzilla and I'm finding that I get some spitting from the coils coming up into my mouth, don't know if it is related to these new coils.

Bob, i get that every time i build a new coil mate, it soon stops when the coil is broken in and not an unpleasant experience IMO. :D

Top corner is the best to disable because that's where the X box is to close down open apps, it's rare to have to go to the bottom right, must check out my lappy next time I use it.

I sometimes get it on attys that have a top coil like the Vivi Novas, and drippers, but have never had it before with Bottom coils, gurgling and crackling yes, but not spitting juice into my mouth.

Got my new Micro Stick and extender on Monday, had to return the Micro Stick on Tuesday, one of the screws on the base was done up so tight I ended up ruining the head on it trying to get it out so that I could fit the extender on, so looks like another 8 week wait until I get it back, have asked them to leave the base off when they send it back.

Yea that was the way i was thinking bob, bloody nuisance every time i went to close a page. As i say RE: the coils, it always happens with me when i build a new one. Maybe the coils you refer to are just better manufactured.

I got a bit of it with the two leaky Unitanks ...gurgling, siphoning and spitting hot liquid at their worst. Just gurgling at their best.

I changed the coil on the mini Nautilus this afternoon after it started tasting a bit off yesterday (much better!). I'll try rinsing and soaking the old coil in alcohol - see how it goes. I did see someone say they'd soaked & washed one successfully.

I just got two more MOW's and another mini Nautilus, so I won't buy any new ones yet - nice to know about the Peakomizer though!
Shouldn't think it'll be too long before my Strix order arrives - hoping I like them :)

I've got a couple of MOWs as well, one to go with my Spinner2 and one for my Gizmo, they're pretty good as well, think you will like the Strix juices

I have heard that you shouldn't dry burn them though, can't remember why, will see if I can find the thread

EDIT: you were in on that thread, so probably remember it but if you didn't it's here:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/uk-forum/584803-aspire-nautilus-3.html#post13795245

I'm impressed with the MOW and new V2 coils so far! Fit perfectly on a Spinner ll! My first one is on an MVP2 at the moment.
There's a thought: I refilled it a number of times with a custard/snickerdoodle mix with a couple of drops of Malaga Ice Cream flavouring ...sort of sickened myself of it and it's still half full. Is just sitting there aiding with clogging the coil up, or does that only happen when the liquid is heated on the coil?

Yes, I did see that, but I'd forgotten about that part! I'm not too comfortable with dry burning, so haven't ever done it, so I wouldn't have done it with those ....probably why I forgot about that part :laugh:

i fancy picking up a mech mod just as a backup but i want something that hasnt got lots of voltdrop, i had a quick scan through a couple of pages and the ones that i recognised were panzer & chi you, can anyone recommend anything or let me know what to steer clear from.

has anyone done any vd measurements on any of the ft mechs, i would be interested to know some figures.

i did read a review on the site saying the panzer button gets hot with chain vaping so im presuming this is due to high vd.
and i saw a little while back that guy riptripper talking about the chi you megan(non clone) having a lot of vd considering what it is and the price etc.

its mainly 18650 i want but i see a lot of them will house 26650 aswell which is good for when i can get my hands on some. :)



Thanks for any info:)

I would assume it only happens when you heat the liquid, although the heated liquid usually turns darker and sits at the bottom of the tank, so if I have left one standing for a while I usually turn it upside down a few times to mix the darker with the lighter.

Dry burning after you have cleaned heads helps get rid of the gunk on the coils and the silica wicks, don't do it with any cottony wicks though, for those you would dry burn the coil after removing the wick, then put a new wick in after the dry burn. (Ian is that the same for Rayon??)

OK, I won't worry about it then! :)

I always get the feeling that if I tried doing it, I'd probably do something wrong and wreck the battery or kill the coil completely :laugh: I may have a go at it next time I use a standard one that's been washed! I've seen it done on Youtube a couple of times.

Yup remove the wick just like with cotton. With an rda you can even dry burn then rinse the coil under the tap straight away if you're feeling brave. Haven't tried this yet though, and using a mechanical mod is better for that I assume.

Thanks, maybe a bit longer up to Scotland then!

Also in case you were tempted to read that in a Scottish accent, I'm from England, Cornwall actually.

Took 3 days from landing at heathrow to where I live. Got it today.

One of the drip tips has a really thick o-ring and it won't fit in anything. Guess I'll need some extra o-rings or to shave the existing o-ring down a fair bit.

Well i cleaned another of my kayfuns today and filled with the dutch apple pie from MT. Have to say like the blue moo it is crammed full of flavour, bloody beautiful.:D The taste i get is...A nice sweet red apple, with a lovely buttery pastry. It seems also to have a sort of caramalised sugar taste. Very Very nice, and i will definitely be getting more of this one. So just a quick summary... This and the blue moo get 10/10, the blood orange, although nice, i would give it 5 or 6 out of 10. I have just got 2 more to try now before i place my 2nd order with them, and they are...bavarian cream, and upside down pineapple cake.

Other news is my chefs order arrived today, really fast delivery,2 days from ordering. I also noticed that they have opted for cardboard boxes now instead of the usual jiffy bags. :)

Have you tried lubing the o-ring with a bit of e-juice dw ? sometimes that will work.

I'll give that a go but I don't think it'll help. I tried taking an o ring from another drip tip that does fit in things and using that but it doesn't fit that way either. It fits with no o ring so I just need a thin o ring I guess.

They both sound really good!
Sounds like the last two could be mixed together! ...could just eat a bowlful (of the real thing) :laugh:

I meant to mention those nice flat boxes ...something like the size of a mid-thickness paperback. It'll be the size/cost thing with the post.
Spiritus announced something about packaging size recently. (They have some new ones and also a brand called Space Jam.)

My Strix haven't come yet - hopefully early next week!

Is you mouth feeling better now? :)

Have you tried vaping it with no o-ring ?? if you have and there is air escaping, try a little bit of ptfe tape to seal it. :)

They really are both lovely trish, i put the dutch apple pie down after about 5 hours solid :laugh: Picked up the posset for a short while, then went back to the former.:pCan`t seem to put it down it`s that good.

My mouth is fine on one side trish (bottom right) That one came out easily, but the one at the top back, which did not want to come out, is still giving me a bit of bother. It is swollen and sore, but i am just taking ibuprofen and i reckon when i get the swelling down i will be fine thanks.:) I chew on the right, so at least i can enjoy my food again.:laugh:

Yeah and if you hold the drip tip down it works fine but I'd rather not have to use it that way or with tape. I'll try shaving down the o ring a bit with a razor or a knife I think.

Great! I may try some after I've tried those few from Strix.
Use carefully though until that swelling and inflammation settles down ;)

Is it gradually going down and getting better? Hope so! :)
