They're a lovely fruit flavour boiled sweet filled with fizzy sherbet! I don't crunch them, just let them start to melt and all the sherbet fizzes out! Great :)

Trisha - I think it's just a case of trial and error at first, finding out which wick works best with which liquid. Everything will fall into place eventually - that's what I love about this vaping lark - all the fine tuning and tinkering that's needed :laugh: As I said, once you find out which ones is best, I'll redo the wicks for you :D
I'm in no rush with it ...I'll just try a cotton one when the current one needs replacing, and then start again with all three in perhaps a Unitank ...see if it still leaks!
Nice to have them to try! :)

I just read someone saying people using the lower watts & volts like I do are missing out on flavour a lot and should turn them up ....now for a start, I can taste all of mine nicely, but didn't you all tell me here that using higher would result in higher consumption and thus make me wheeze even quicker?

Mmm you can send me some of them trish
:laugh:

If you vape at higher temperatures, you will get more flavour, and yes you will use more juice. If you are happy where you are trish, there is no need to alter anything. :)

Great news! I'm sure you'll like it - I think they're terrific. Charged the silver one today (not quite flat) and it charged in less than 90 minutes. The battery symbol flashes a 'flash' and then goes off once fully charged. I used a 1000mah mains charger.

The tracking info was all shown on the AP website, obviously, the UK entries would be picked up from the RM system.
When I saw 'delivered on 2nd at 10.22am' it looked pretty conclusive to me that it had been sent to the wrong address.
VapeRus thinks the lady who does the post did put the right tracking number on my invoice details, but stuck it on a completely different package! Still doesn't sound quite right though because even by non tracked methods, it would have arrived by now - My red one did ...did you see me sneak that one in ......:facepalm: :laugh:

So you have 2 already now a silver and a "pinky" :evil: red, and a third to come :laugh: you'll be wanting to get some real rebuildable atomizers next :lol:

Thanks bob. I said to the owner ( joe ) That i will give it till the end of this week before i talk to usps. :)

I just watched a vid on you tube, it was super x drifter, a member on this forum. He was showing how to wick using rayon, and it`s totally different than how ian told me to do it.

Ian hope you are reading this mate, but the way he did it was to put just enough wick in that you have a tiny bit of resistance when pulling the wick through the coil, and not stuff as much as you can through as you suggested :laugh:

I am now wondering if it was putting too much in what was causing the problems i was having, with my coils gunking up so damn quickly. I replaced another one today, and put cotton in, and the same had happened, what happened a short while ago, in that the coil had burnt through the wick. I blame that on stuffing the rayon through, so it is effecting the wicking.

So in future it will be less rayon rather than more. :)

I just use a little bit more than I would with cotton and it seems to work okay, have one in my EHPRO KFL at the moment 1.3ohm vaping at 15w NT PBC

Bob, glad to hear your getting back to being ambidextrous mate :laugh: As promised, I'll be sending your bits off soon :)
-----------------------------------

Been another long day today for me. 13 hours again. The tax man is loving me at the moment, bet I'll get a thankyou card from him :laugh:

Ambidextrous - you gotta be joking can't use my leftie for much except typing on the keyboard - and they put the catheter up the right wrist - won't make that mistake again, and you're more likely to get a demand than a thank you card from HMRC :evil:

See you all tomorrow :)

Have just ordered a LP Reo Grand - copper vein and a Reomizer 5.0 to go on top of it - was there anything else I should have ordered or is that it for starters.

It is possible, but now you have some 20w mods, you may want to try it with some of your lower resistance coils <1.5ohm, but do it easily if you do, notch up say 0.5w at a time and see how it goes, also use one of the juices that gives you the least or no problems normally.

Yep i have definitely been putting way to much in bob. Thats what you get when you listen to ian. :evil: :laugh:

Seriously though, i am going to have to re-wick the lot now. :(

Nope :lol: ...they only send one and I'm pretty selfish with em ...eat em as soon as they arrive! Blue Raspberry is lovely :D I do keep promising myself that I'll get a 2lb bag of them from Amazon or Ebay!

Thanks! I do know that at some time one or all of you advised me to keep power down to help me avoid using too much liquid ...which would of course give me more trouble with breathing.
I dread to think how much I'd use at higher power - the Nautilus and mPT2's seem to steam through it quite fast! Am I right in saying that the dual coil types also use more too ...or is that just draining the battery faster?

So you have 2 already now a silver and a "pinky" :evil: red, and a third to come :laugh:
Liked them so much I couldn't resist ...do want my blue one though! The metallic paint finish on them is very good. The 'red' one is a rather nice deep magenta. Not at all a girly pink!
I did think about some of the more expensive ones in the past as you know, so having 2 or 3 of these isn't that bad really :)
you'll be wanting to get some real rebuildable atomizers next :lol:
Oh no I won't! :p :laugh:

I liked those too! Always made me sneeze trying to get the last bit out of the tube! :D You can still get them.
I like the flavours of the Zotz.

I only have 2.2, 2.0 and 1.8ohm coils. I can try a packet of the lower ones though.

That isn't so easy - by it's very nature, VG has congestive properties, and I do get some breathing/congestion problems even with that. But, most of the CV ones I have give me less trouble, so I'll try it with something like the Mint Choc Vapetto.

As you'll have seen, I've been using some of the NT PG/VG ones at 15-20% with a simple VG one such as Confusion or ABC. I've obviously used those mixes too much this past week because I have a pink blotchy rash up the middle of my face! Got that along with other problems when I used the PG/VG in the first 6 weeks of not smoking. I also find my eyes very dry in the morning when I wake up ...got to drink some more water! Haven't had to do that with max VG!

Having said that ...I'm using the Strawberry Vapetto right now with 15% Strawnilla and it's lovely :rolleyes:

I have never got into the duals trish, but i would imagine that they would be lower ohms which would burn juice faster plus run your battery down faster. :)

They're in a lot of the newer ones. The MOW is the dual V2 one, but their coils come in a range of ohms: .8 -1.0 -1.2 -1.5 -1.8 and 2.0. They tend to come with 1.5 but I buy spares at 1.8 or 2.0.
I suppose the Nautilus is a type of dual coil too.

If the post is kind to me I'll get the two new CV ones tomorrow! I don't have many good fruit ones - they either rip my throat to shreds and stop me breathing or I find them a bit boring! :laugh: so that PMP may be just the thing! Depends on how I am with the Blackcurrant, but Queen of Puddings may be good too :)

I just realised what will be making my face more blotchy than usual: strawberry! I've been using it a fair bit this past week - Strawnilla with some Strawberry Vapetto! Strawberry gives me a bit of a problem, and the Strawnilla is a PG/VG! .....it's so nice though :( :laugh:

As i said i never really got into duals trish, and the ones i did try carto`s were terrible for leaking etc. even when i have built my own, i just find them too harsh at the nicotine levels i vape at.

It will be interesting to to see what you think of the new chefs ones. Speaking of fruit ones, this citrus punch really has got a punch. I get a proper throat hit off it, but i like that now and again in short bursts. Do you think that it could be the colouring in the strawberry vapes that are making you blotchy ?

My first dual coil was a glass Evod and it was dreadful for leaking! Found out that a lot of them did that, so left them well alone until I got the MOW, and now the mini Nautilus. I have two of each and I've had very little trouble with either. Funny how the simple is so good though: Kanger Evod single coil ones! :) I have the strawberry mix in one and the chocolate/custard mix in the other, and can taste them very well - as you know there's only 15-20% of the NT ones in those too!

Yes, looking forward to them - I love passion fruit/mango/papaya in fresh fruit salad, and unsweetened fruit drinks, so should be good ...and can you imagine what it could be like with some ABC? :D
Remind me - whose is the Citrus Punch- MB?

As for the fruit problems, no, not the colouring. It's the same for me with the apple Band Camp, Blackberry (loved LT's), lime, pineapple, and likely a few others. Some lemons have given me problems too, but the Posset isn't too bad at all. The Strawberry Vapetto gives me less trouble than one I had from LT too ...so it depends on the brand of flavouring sometimes. Cinnamon doesn't work for me too well either.

Think I'll need to use some SDC too soon - been a while since I had any.
If you ever get anything from Spiritus, try a small bottle of the NT H1N1 Virus - I really do like that. Waffles, syrup, caramel, vanilla, I even get a hint of ground almonds and latte at times! I can only use it diluted with confusion, but it is good.

The citrus punch is from joose juice trish, had it about 9 months and just revisited it :) Not ordered anyting from there for yonks though. If you are tempted, keep well away from their coffee ones, bloody rank and like vaping burnt rubber.

I have got to admit that out of ALL the juices i have tried, SDC is my out and out favourite, :)

Read good and bad re joose, so will pass - not really wanting to use yet another supplier unless it's a must have! :) I'll try my Steamgunk one again soon.
Think I'll need to find or clean a tank and try some SDC tomorrow! It's a bit rough on coils isn't it? ...not as bad as Jamaican Ginger though.

I just changed the coil in my Got Cookie/ABC mix and used a cotton one. Left it for 10 minutes and then tried it ...tastes like it turned into a stronger nicotine and more how wet cotton smells rather than tasting properly of chocolate! I'll leave it until tomorrow though and see how it goes. May need to soak it up more.

Yes might get the red one myself later, they are quite cheap for a 20w mod [at the moment the MVP and a few eGos are the only ones I have that don't have a replaceable battery]

You could try with a Mini Nautilus, I can vape them at 20w but only if I do the throat to lung inhale, tried a direct lung inhale and nearly choked myself :laugh: had to drop them down to 10w for a direct lung inhale, if they do start giving you problems though go back to your normal wattage

I suppose the Nautilus is a type of dual coil too.

only the BDC coils (Bottom Dual Coil)

As i said i never really got into duals trish, and the ones i did try carto's were terrible for leaking etc. even when i have built my own, i just find them too harsh at the nicotine levels i vape at.

and thereby is your problem, you need to get some lower percentage nicotine ones (or get some 0% of a flavour you use most and mix with your normal one to drop the nic level) so that you can do some dual coils thereby getting a lower resistance and more flavour & clouds :)

Experiment with it but generally I'd say if you're getting a satisfactory vape then don't feel like you have to. Just bump it up gradually if you like.

I like vaping at higher wattages (>50W) on RDAs sometimes but I couldn't do it all the time. Sometimes an 8W vape on a clearomiser or my kayfun is just fine.

Have just ordered a LP Reo Grand - copper vein and a Reomizer 5.0 to go on top of it - was there anything else I should have ordered or is that it for starters.

Looks nice!

Hi Tom back again Ron has woken up three times now and he is staying awake longer each time 90 seconds first time 3 minutes second time and 6 minutes third time and he even fitted a vape in the third time he is very disorientated but he does know who he is and who I am so I think as he wakes up a couple of more times he will start to realise what is going on around him
1 doctor and 2 nurses keep coming in for a vape as well and I have been told there will be a surgeon 2 doctors and another nurse coming back off holiday tomorrow that will be popping in as they all vape and always look for the vaping room so it looks like it may get foggy in here but that's only a good thing

Great news, I think it's encouraging that he is waking up for a bit longer each time exactly how the docs said he would. I also love the idea of all these doctors, nurses and surgeons popping in for a vape. You should make it a clubhouse of sorts.

I read somewhere, the best description for wicking with rayon is "wait for the squeak". When you pull the rayon through, it should be dense enough that you hear or feel a small squeak. I still have to hold the coil with my fingernail at first, but I can still move the rayon backwards and forwards once it's in place. It doesn't need to be as dense as silica, but denser than cotton. Bit strange I know :laugh:

Remember I said at first, rayon has a learning curve ;)

I've been experimenting with the amount of rayon in my kayfun. I find on a dripper it doesn't matter nearly as much so I have been packing it in a bit more but I've reduced the amount a bit in the kayfun and I think it works better. Had a good look through here and on other forums on the subject and people seem to agree that a little less is needed on something like a kayfun as it actively draws the juice up to the coil more than on most RDAs.

Things like the magma are a bit different but the wicks on a dripper like the magma are usually going to be swimming in juice rather than relying on the slower feed through the small juice channels on a kayfun.

Someone used the analogy of a sponge. Imagine how much water you can soak up/pass through a sponge compared to if you compress/flatten the sponge.

On the subject of kayfuns, do those of you who are kayfun users make sure to leave some air in the tank when you fill it? I think I overfilled it so there wasn't enough air to create the differential pressure. I was getting dry hits so I unscrewed the fill screw to allow some more air in and also blew into the drip tip to force some air into the tank section. Seems better now, will have to be careful filling this nano kit as I wanted to get the most juice in as possible as it only holds 2-3ml and I'll likely almost go through that much some days at work. Depends on how work is :laugh:
