I'm glad to see there are so,e small Philips screws for the deck so I can get rid of the specialized Allen ones. I don't care for non standard deck screws by and large. However if they fit with a t6 I'll use them. That size star screwdriver seems to open most aliens it fits into.
Shouldn't really be using a Torx driver on Hex screws, it's a different shape and could strip the hex screw like a philips does (says he who had to send a mod back to Israel because he did it :()

I think i have cracked these Bellus tanks now, currently blasting away @ 27.5 w Doughnut King, and the flavour and clouds are awesome. Not a dry hit in sight :) Cheers Bob & George, i find them a much smoother vape than the Aromamizers, which i found way too harsh on my throat, using the same liquids.

Moi aussi :)

Why didn't you just get the Capella "Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy" that's nice, it's what I'm using in one of my KF4s, although it doesn't taste like Chem Trail hmm maybe it needs some cream added...
I suspected it may need something more than just raspberry and cotton candy ...when I saw the raspberry yogurt, it sounded like it may work ...may be awful too - who knows! :laugh:

@Pictor I can't say I'm a huge fan of the virtual doughnuts. I'm not sure what part of the ingredients make up the virtual part. Presumably so,e shared ingredients with virtual custard. I have a fair bit of welsh custard both made and in storage as. Find it tends to mix well with anything. I'm sticky curious how it would make this premium t tobacco flavor taste if I added some. Jts almost like a magic cure all for any flavor that isn't great but isn't bad.
'Virtual' is a legacy from the company that used to make those. Chefs took over the making of some of theirs when the owner ceased trading.
I like the Raspberry Virtual Doughnut, not so much the Strawberry one. Again, they can have other things mixed in such as custard, cream, chocolate or another fruit.
I've always used custard to give more options to some others, and to save some that didn't meet expectations. It's very useful!
I'm not so sure how it would work with tobacco though. Perhaps vanilla & cream may be good ...or do you have any Nicoticket Frenilla ..not too strong a flavour.
Chefs have a number of tobacco concentrates.

Not the t6 on a small Allen. Works well. Not stripping. I understand there different tools and I've worked a LOT with small screws. I can say the t6 seems to work well without damaging most odd kinds of tiny screws. You can also pretty easily tell when a screw is getting stripped. In the end I replace all the wonky kinds with something more standard. I'm not a fan of needing a full set of tools to unscrew a deck screw on say six devices.

Banks for the 15% info. No issue adjusting the rest. I'm pretty familiar with my 100 mg/ml ratios and vg. Typically with concentrates made from PG and over 10% o don't personally add pg at all I prefer 85 and up vg ratios. I'm surprised that a Capella flavoring was 15%. I was under the misunderstanding I guess that those and flavor art were both 1-3% kinds of concentrates. I'll have to look for some base flavor from them locally and see what seems good.

That's a flavor everyone seems to love that just doesn't do it for me. The Premade was better than my mix. I'll try another batch but I feel like maybe it needs to be more sweet. I'll try to add some welsh custard to my existing mix. But it's a very strong flavor.

Seems Capella can be a trial & error thing unless you find some guidance in the DIY section here. The list of Chefs recommended percentages I posted shows this for Capella:
Capella is any DIY mixers staple. I think every DIY mixer will have at least one Capella concentrate in their mixing box. They can be hit and miss but overall they're a great product. Use anything between 5% and 20%.

I don't get a strong flavour ...but I use fairly basic tanks at around 7-7.5Watts.

:) ...the odd time I tried higher wattage, some tasted awful, and some didn't taste any different. I reckon the Doughnut is one that stays the same ...love it with a cup of tea as it seems to bring out the custard part of the doughnut.
Not trying it again though as higher temps make me wheeze again!

I'm really tired tonight, so think I'll tidy up and get some sleep - nite Terry! :)

Even though i have the concentrate i have yet to make some for comparison, but i really like the ready made :) Have you got any sweetener what you could try ?
You know I just realized inward. Inkling of. E donut king not virtual donut.. I'll try to add some. Roasted marshmallow to it. It's often used as a sweetener Esther than things labelled sweetener.. Probably the best tip I've found in the multiple DIY forums I visit is to avoid "sweetener" as it tastes quite synthetic and find other more natural. Flavors ton sweeten with.

@Bobw1951 Looks like my Cuboid is out of China(shows as exported),so with a bit of luck maybe able to give you an opinion before Friday. There has been a few concerns, reading around, about the hinged battery door.
Didn't know it had a hinged battery door - know I didn't like that small mod that came out with a hinged battery door, can't remember the name of it now, in the review it was a red one

Oh! That one ;)

Yes hinged at the base Bob.Someone said it was great to start with then he had problems making battery connection.Could be a one off, as people replied saying they hadn't suffered the same.
The one I was thinking of the hinge was at the back, not the base, but I did have one with a hinged base battery cover and seem to remember having problems with connectivity.
Just had a look at this review and it looks quite good, the tank looks quite clever as well, hope they have some lower resistance coils for it - will have to check it out on their website
