Maybe trish, or they may have a few tips and tricks to get the bloody thing on. It`s worth letting them know there maybe a problem

OK

Yeah twas me being lazy trish, i should have known that the dripper would have been a tad dirty on the connection. All is good now though and tomorrow i will try that razzled tea thingy from MB.

I had a time where the MOW tanks didn't work well on the MVP's but I usually use mini nautilus on those anyway.

I was also looking at HHV earlier, and if i am honest theres nowt what tickles me fancy

I want to try that waffle one and a couple of their vanilla/caramel tobacco ones too. Plus they have a Vanilla and Cocoa one that sound like possibilities, plus one called Heavenly. VG beggars can't always be too choosy!

Yes, that's weird, getting warm means it WAS charging and then stopped, but the light did not go out, sounds a bit dodgy to me, if it still won't come on then I agree with Terry and open a ticket saying it was DOA, and yes it will mean packaging it up and sending it back, but they will tell you what to do.

I did put it back on charge and it's still cold. I clicked the button 6 times to see if it starts getting warm! Still apparently dead though
I'll let FT know.

That works sometimes but not always

Hush! you'll jinx it!

Going back to the build i did earlier bob...14 wraps of 30 gauge round a 2 mm bit. Twas a pain in the bum keeping them coils straight in my pliers when i was torching them So i am thinking 8 wraps around a 3mm bit will be a bit easier for the same resistance What i will do in the longer term is start lowering my nic, so i can go to about 1 ohm without burning my throat to bits.

Yeah do it, if you make up/buy some lower nic juice for dripping or maybe your incoming orchid if it also produces big clouds then you might not even find the nicotine lacking if you see what I mean.

It probably doesn't work quite like this but I think of it like this: If your clouds are twice as big then you need half the strength juice... Maybe.

I use 3mg when dripping, 3-6mg in my kayfun and 6-12mg in my old kanger clearos. The 12mg is a bit much for me even in those if I vape too much but a small device is handy sometimes and I've still got a little juice left that's 12mg.

Yesterday, NT dropped a bit of a bombshell for me: They're not doing the zero Max VG ones any more. There will be some sort of VG line in the future at some point, but I'm not sure it'll be the top favourite ones. OK, some people like VG for clouds of vapour, but others simply cannot function if they use it. I know a few who get pretty serious problems just like me.
I can get alternatives for the regular VG ones (CB & CLS) but as they're expanding distribution I was hoping for more VG, not none!

Anyway, to say it upset me is an understatement! I love Chefs, but there are a few really good ones at NT not similar to any of Chefs. C'est la vie though, and I stumbled on something without even looking for it today when looking for Indigo reviews It's a brand called Gremlin, and I hear their Chocolate Overload is an excellent chocolate one! Their site appears not to ship to the UK, so I went searching and found a pretty good site in France: Cloud House The European Source For American Made E-Liquids
On that site there's a few US brands including some Indigo, SNG and Gremlin, plus MBV. They also do DIY concentrates too. Plus, a 100ml bottle of 6mg ready to use VG is affordable from my point of view.
Payment is via Paypal or bank transfer. PP exchange was €1.20/£1

They make them up themselves by using the concentrates from the various companies, and as such will customise the nicotine and PG/VG ratio, and some offer extra shots too!
They do trial packs, 5ml bottles up-over, and even some large sizes (MBV Terry!)

Better still, their shipping is affordable. Free but with just €3 tracking over €50. Very reasonable under that amount. 3-5 days or 5-7 days, with or without tracking.
So, I've ordered 13 - 5ml bottles of Gremlin, SNG and Indigo, and an MBV one I didn't order last time, and I chanced a 20ml bottle of Indigo 5 Bucks: coffee/cream/caramel - caramel macchiato!.

They didn't have the Gremlin Chocolate Overload one in stock, but I'll ask about that - could be they're just out of stock. Whatever I find I like, I can then get bigger bottles!

If you check out the various ones available on that site, at the bottom there'll be a button on some that needs clicking to 'view all' - I almost missed a number of the Indigo ones available there until I noticed that.
They don't have the Indigo NET ones either, so I'll order a few small bottles of those direct.

So, there's a few interesting ones to try out when they get here!

What a good find trisha Bookmarked, and ready to be scrutinized tomorrow

What i think i will do adam is gradually start replacing my 12mg down to 6. I`m not bothered about sub ohms, so i am thinking 6 mg juice @ around 1 ohm, and i can pump the watts up. And yes indeedy i am forward thinking to the orchids, with them being dual coil. It`s just about finding the right balance mate at the end of the day.

Hmm george Not much info on it, so he`s just knocked something together himself hasn`t he ? If i am honest i would bet that eleaf are already working on a V2, so would rather wait

Hows the orchid mate, or have you been hoovering up today

I would agree with that, use 3mm myself but with thicker wire, except in tiny rebuildables like the cyclone or the Mini KF where you need something smaller, don't forget to keep some of the higher nic stuff back, for when you think you might need a bigger hit, with all the ones I've got on the go, some will have 12 or 18mg in them, until I get round to using it all up.

In anticipation bob, i just ordered 20 ml of SD&C And 10 ml of posset both @ 6 mg, and 35 pg 65 vg. Nearly time for some experimentation

I've seen lots of people drop their nicotine strength way down when the power goes up or for dripping. You'll still have some higher to hand if you get a need for a nicotine boost!

What a good find trisha Bookmarked, and ready to be scrutinized tomorrow

I'm quite impressed by the sound of some of those!
I'd emailed Gremlin to ask about the shipping, and Rich, the owner, did send me a link to Cloud House. He said that if I have any problems to let him know and he and Nathan (at Cloud House) will try to sort it out! Sounds OK so far!
I'm looking forward to getting that order.

By the way, I saw these coils and wonder if you have any thoughts on them ..supposedly last a long time! I don't use many of that type now, but I did always like the Evod tanks.
Hybrid Ceramic Protank/EVOD Head

Also, don't know if it's stuff you use, but they have an assortment of different wick stuff & wire there too.

I've also ordered from HHV: more 5ml sizes - ordered the Maple Waffle with extra syrup & cream plus strawberries! Also, Tuscan Cocoa, Vanilla Dream, Nut (almond), Mocha Java, and 3 of the NET tobacco ones that have things like vanilla, caramel, plum chocolate or coffee tones in them - one even gets a review on ECF as being close to the one I like from NT but with less maple ..can always add a bit of maple flavour if it's good!

So, when I get some NET ones ordered from Indigo along with some of their Blueberry Whoopie I may find a few more good max VG's to add to my favourites!

I'll just have to keep watching NT for any SR's in max VG or new ones.

Could have sent you both of those but in VG ...I haven't forgotten the Apple Strudel either !

Yeah!It's a cobbled thing Terry,don't fancy it myself.Bit like putting a Rover V8 in a Mini.

As a matter of fact,i cleaned the fridge outToday i'll finish up ,ceiling,walls and floor.It's all go at the sharp end.
No time for Orchids,i'm a busy fella(that should read,no i still haven't got any wick or wire)

I will probably give them a try in the near future trish. As you say, delivery is a lot quicker than the states, and a bit cheaper too Regarding the 6 mg juices, it actually makes sense what adam says. if you are getting twice the vapour with lower ohms etc, surely it will be doubling my nic intake

Can`t help with the wicks trish, i`ve never used them !

 

[terry w]

I could understand you sending me the SD&C trish as it gave you problems, but the posset I thought that was one of your faves.

Definitely makes sense - I've seen quite a number at NT's forum say they had to step it down.

Keep some higher to hand though ...I'm mostly using .3 or .6 now, but odd times I do feel the need for more, so I use the WTA in menthol!

OK

It is, but I'd have sent you some if you just wanted to try .6
I have four Chefs that I use all the time: Doughnut, Lemon CCC, Mint Choc Vapetto & Posset! Plus there's a number of their others that I like a lot, and always the Confusion and ABC to mix with other flavours too.

I'm looking forward to that Cloud House order coming!
They do 100 and 250ml bottles of some of the MBV,s - no Lemon Bar listed but they do have it so would likely make you a bottle of any not listed as long as they have the concentrate.

They are quite pricey @ just over £6/head - think I'll give it a miss - thought I mentioned Cloud House a while back when we were talking about prices of MBV liquids, but may have been on another forum.

Yes, not cheap but if one lasts longer than a pack of 5 it's worthwhile perhaps. I'm thinking I don't use enough of that type now to bother


You may have mentioned Cloud house ...not sure, but I've been happy with the main ones I was using so may not have bothered with anywhere else until I'd tried some of the MBV, so it may have been a bit of a 'blind spot'.

There's a couple of SNG ones that sounds like your kind of thing: Last Stand (cream filled custard, light hazelnut & whipped cream) & Cloud 9 (Vanilla, pecan, whipped cream) . I ordered 5ml of each to try them!
Of the SNG, I also ordered Double Black (black tobacco & coffee), Cheerio Java (Cappuccino & vanilla Irish cream), Orange Jealous (Orange pineapple & cream), Milkshake (vanilla & custard).

I see on their own site, they do quite a lot more. Be interesting to see if the Cloud House range expands if they're good ...there's a few sound good: Sloth, Mochachino, War, Apple Coffee Cake, Be-Relaxed, Crispy Peach Pie, ...plus there's quite a lot more.

...one in particular that sounds dreadful to me: Fried Elvis - Southern fried peanut butter and banana ...Ick!

Just placed an order for concentrates with the Chefs.

Hope they listen to my polite request to bag the bottles and tape the bag up so they don't leak in the post. The folder where I keep receipts/invoices still smells of black mamba owing to the slight concentrate leakage with my last order

Hope they work out well when you use them!
...they usually comply with any such requests ...very helpful!

Toes crossed - I never had anything from them leak even slightly!
