I got the bulk of my stuff delivered in the last week, I got the Tesla stealth 40 watt 1300 mah mod, a lemo atty, conqueror atty and a bellus atty.

The tesla is just what I wanted, it`s tiny and I get a full 5ml lemo and still about a quarter of the charge left in the battery, it looks good with a black atty too.

Conqueror took a bit of getting used to, I built it with the dual twisted coils it came with which read at 0.2 ohms and didn`t suit my vape at all, it was like trying to swallow a burning hedgehog, so I broke it down and rebuilt using two of my usual 1.4 ohm coils. Now it vapes fine at 0.8 ohms and 25 watts. Two things I`m not keen on is that it doesn`t so much leak but it is quite weepy from the air holes in use, and the rim of the top fill cap is only about 3mm wide and only lightly knurled so you have to remember to just snug it down when you refill coz it`s pliers and a rubber band if you don't.

The bellus I love, in fact it is so flavoursome that I decided to build it single coil so that I could use it with my 20 watt mods, the little doofer that blocks one side off for single coil builds is a touch of genius.

After trying the 0.2 ohm build at 35 watts with the vapour and the atty getting so hot, it made me wonder how the guys who vape at 80 odd to the 100s of watt range manage, am I missing something ?

No - we've all been there. You just have to find the set-up that you like and then stick with it.

I have yet to find an rda that doesn't drip from somewhere. :)

Just got a new Chromebook. My old Samsung has gone through four years of battle with me and still works brilliantly - but it's a feller with a tiny screen.

I got an Acer Chromebook 14 and it delivers on every front. It's beautiful in itself (aluminium build) - and has a 14" full hd IPS screen.

I will never buy a Windows machine again. For me the Samsung was proof of concept - but really, this is better than any computing device I have ever used.

Which is nice. :)

I have to agree with you regarding the Bellus tanks Vince, mine beat my others hands down, and that includes my new Kayfun 5`s.
I`ve got SS builds in mine at .7 ohms and run them between 30 -35 watts ! Absolutely tons of vapour, and the flavour is outstanding IMO.
After my holiday i`m going to get a couple of the clones from FT as the reviews are very favourable :)

Nice! It's so good when you decide to get something and it proves to be as good as that!
I had a Windows phone and hated it - back it went in exchange for an android.

I've had my Chillblast Fusion Photo desktop since Feb 2011, and I hardly dare whisper it, but it's still doing fine - and I hope it continues for some time yet! Not just the cost of these things, but the hassle of getting anew one set up with everything the same in place ...and working!! I like W7 too, but dread having to use anything produced since. (Even apart from not liking the look/sound of 8 or 10, at least one of my programmes won't work on them).
All in all, it's a great computer :)

But - I would like a Surface Pro too ..something about them looks so very useful.

I was always a little apprehensive about buying a Hotcig mod,because of neg feedback in their earlier days.
But must say the DX75 ain't a bad little mod,i'm liking it.
So,i noticed on GB last night the DR200 is on flashsale. So i've ordered one. Using my GB points, cost £52 shipped with insurance.
Which i think for a Evolv boarded 200 is a steal.
I've not had a problem with my HotCig mods even the 2 x DX200 are still going strong

Well, if I do nothing else useful today, I've just made 100ml ready to use MCV (Mint Choc Vapetto), and 144ml MCV concentrate (enough for another 400ml ready to use) :)

Those measuring cylinders I got have proved very useful! Need to find some rubber bungs to enable shaking safely before putting in bottles :unsure:

Trish, what ratio do Chefs regard Max VG?

DIY or Die Pistachio RY4-U is very nice,i personally can't taste baccy,may order another bottle.

Got a couple of Custards this morning to try,from Royal Vape.Raspberry custard and Donut custard.
Slow dispatch,took 10 days.I think it may be mixed to order,it's as pale as one of those Goths.
I'll have to leave it a few weeks.

Crikey - where is everyone?
Thin on the ground at the moment! :laugh:

What do people make of this feller?
Not what I'd be looking for, so can't help - sorry.

Trish, what ratio do Chefs regard Max VG?
I suspect around 80% or higher ...could be wrong. They'll soon tell you if you ask though :)
The DIYorDIE ones that are ready to use are 70% - I know that because they got in touch to ask if that was OK for me :)

Ah - did wonder about it - I'm about to order more of those in the ready to use because I quite like them ...not sure about the Bronuts, but it is quite nice - just got spoiled with the MCV flavour!

Goths! :D ....Let us know how you find those then! :) ...I'll be ordering another 100ml of the Raspberry Doughnut from Grumpy - I like that one.
