The orange creamsickle from AIV is one of their better ones Trisha. A lot of people rave about April Moon, but I prefer the orange one. Not too sure if they do high VG though. It's an experience ordering from them, a good one :)
Says if high VG is needed to add a note to the order. Is anything else of theirs very good? :)

Must admit I act that old sometimes :laugh: especially when I'm on holiday, but then the body soon tells me to behave and act my real age....
It's difficult sometimes to justify the age you are with how you feel inside ....the past 12 days though have made me feel older than I am! I'm obviously not sleeping as well as I think because I can't move much without going dizzy.

Is that the Public Carriage licence, I used to hate classroom days when I was with the railway, they always wanted us to act out scenarios and stuff, which I was useless at - fine at answering questions, but no good at the sort of things that they now want you to do. Too old fashioned and set in my ways for that sort of stuff, bring back the 50s & 60s.
Exactly how I felt ...stupid role playing and answering silly questions or listening to some boring person drone on about purchasing procedure and stock controls ...Zzzzzzzzzzz :laugh: ...and all the while, me knowing my desk would be piling up with work and messages!
I could never go back to that world!

So, I've been using a standard size Protank 2 seeing the mini PT2 has worked well for me. It started to gurgle a lot, so I got the Kanger airflow valve from fasttech -in a little Kanger box with the same part number etc. on as this one:Kanger Airflow Control Valve – Vapor Bitz
When I tried to use it, it wouldn't screw in! The thread seemed to be a little smaller.
So, I ordered the Airflow Valve V2 from myEpack Kanger Airflow Control Valve V2 - fits perfectly. The only problem for me is that the airflow control part is almost impossible to turn! Had to drag it around with my nail. Seems to work OK so far though!

I've got a gurgling mini nautilus too, and no amount of untightening the base etc. makes a difference. Perhaps it's a bad coil?

The airflow control units are not supposed to work with the PT2, the v1 afc will work with the PT3, and the v2 are only supposed to work with the Aerotanks v1 or v2

Ian, one thing the eXpromiser has over the KF is if something goes wrong with the coil, the coil went on my 1st KFL last night after about a week, still some juice left in it, so ended up wasting it to get to the coil, as there is no easy way to empty the tank, whereas with the eXpromiser just turn it upside down because like a Nautilus or Kanger the Chimney is in the top part so holds the juice in and no need to empty the tank, less messy as well.

EDIT: Don't know if they clone them yet, but at least the original is cheaper than original KFLs, there was a couple for sale in the classies yesterday, think it was on POTV for £40 each

Adam, the Maraxus has a recessed button, so does the Panzer. But they can be a bit awkward to fire because of this. You have to get used to holding them in a different way to say a Nemesis. Copper mods do like nice though :D

I'm not hugely keen on the looks of the maraxus but the panzer looks ok.

It's not fully copper and doesn't have a recessed button but this one looks sweet:

Oh! I thought I saw somewhere that they were only for the PT3, as long as other sites are saying it's okay, but I wouldn't believe everything that FT says is true

Did you notice the proviso on the original link you posted that you have to use single coil heads with the PT2

Not a recessed button, it is similar to the nemmy with a locking ring

EDIT: what about a side firing button similar to the $21.84 69 SS Telescopic Mechanical Mod - twist locking firing switch at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Yeah I see there is a locking ring but it looks way shorter than my nemesis. I don't mind the locking ring really I just thought a different style might be nice. I think I like the look of that stingray one so much more than a panzer then I'd just get that.

A side firing button would be cool but it looks like it would make the mod longer than it needs to be and looking at the pics on ft I don't know if I'd trust the mechanism to last all that long. Also for this particular mod I'm not mad on the looks. You know of any other recessed/side/other firing mods?

Adam, PS to my last message, I have the real Stingray-X and it is indeed a beautiful looking mod, don't know if FT do it yet, but there is a Black Copper version as well, but I couldn't justify getting it at Vapefest from the maker of the original [JD Tech]

Isn't the link I originally posted a stingray x clone from FT? Or do you mean you're not sure if they do a black version?

Vapemail - only 4 days from the USA - must be a record and definitely quicker than my last lot of local mail - my Burelwood sleeve & cone + some AMG attys from Vapage
I had that with a Nicoticket order last week! Fantastic. The one I'm waiting for now has been 7 days already.

I hadn't know it until someone gave me that link, but yes, I saw it. I do only use the single coil in the Protanks of both sizes, (and also the mini Unitank, but they leak).

Not sure what to think of the one from FT - exactly the same box and part numbers as in the first link, but no way would it fit! I didn't think to measure across the threaded part of both before I used the V2 one.

Only other side firing ones that I have are not clones, have a look at the Atmizoo website for the Dingo, Lab & Roller, not cheap but very good.

Yes I meant the Black one - I believe there are other coloured ones as well now, but only the original SS/Copper and Black/Copper have been produced by JD Tech themselves.

Okay, wasn't sure if you were using single coil heads - it's one of the reasons I am wary of some things from FT unless it says "Authentic", sometimes they just don't work or threads are not good, was caught out a few times at first with dodgy heads and cartos that didn't work, so now I normally get them from reputable UK vendors.

They do look nice but I'm going to stick to clones for now to aid my wallet.

Like the look of this one as well:

Yes, I've had a few unpleasant surprises with the V2 and Aspire BVC coils from FastTech - some good, some not - including 'authentic'.

I read some reviews of the V2 at myEcig and someone suggests that there's two versions of the new Kanger 'V2' - one with two little holes, the other with just one. He thought the 'one' version best, and refers to is as V3. Not always easy to see which you're getting!
I'm sure the ones that came with the MOW tank were the best, so I just looked in a new unopened one that I have, and it is the single hole (more of a little slot).

I'm going to start marking the boxes of new coils as to where they came from, and if I get good ones, I'll know where to re-order. No guarantee they'll be the same, but worth trying.

I didn't know about the difference, so just checked all mine and out of 14 only one had the 2 singles holes on each side, all the others have the larger slot on each side, so think the small holes ones came with the original Aerotank (v1), as that is the only one I have replaced a coil in, and they come with 2 spares, so I would not call them Kanger coils, but Aerotank coils v1 & v2, as the Kanger v2 are the dual coil ones that were with the PT3 when it first came out, Kanger v1 being the single coil ones that go into the PT & PT2.

Well the reviews of the MBV coffee are certainly correct. When i made my brew this morning, i went to have a nice coffee vape, and i wasn`t even getting any air through the kayfun :laugh:

Took it apart, and it looked like a horror scene :ohmy: Properly GUNKED up. That is after running only around 7 ml through it, but having said that it is still worth the extra effort, as it really is nice. :)

I have a mini Aerotank unused, and just looked: it has the single slot coil with it too just like the MOW.

I think both tanks came with the single slot type hole at the sides, but the replacement 5 packs I bought afterwards have the two holes.

Ah! I'm finding that with H1N1 and the Got Cookie too. Sometimes, I'm OK with it too if they're good enough! :)

The CV Jamaican ginger gunked mine up in a matter of hours!
