It's a lovely semi-tart lemon with soft cake and fresh cream and just a hint of coconut as would be sprinkled on the top of the cake! The lemon is sharpest on a fresh coil and mellows a little bit over the days.
I reckon I've used around 200ml of it by now
- I have three every day favourites that I alternate at the moment: my long-time one - Mint Choc Vapetto, and the two more recent additions of Doughnut King & LCCC ...I've likely used around 300ml of the Doughnut one too! I have a few other favourites from Chefs (Posset, Strawberry Vapetto, PMP, etc.) but those are the three most used these past weeks!
I love the Queen of Puddings too but seems I have an issue with blackcurrant - Drat!
Yes, I see Bob has sent you info. This post on our old thread is my understanding of it after Bob explained it:Ahhhhh!! So it's not just me! Gosh i was thinking there was something wrong with it LMAO. Thanks for that clarification ma dear. I would love to see what Bob can explain about it technical wise

I've had all manner of sensitivities show up since I started with e-cigs! I'm best if I keep the liquid consumption as low as I can by keeping the power fairly low yet without compromising the flavour etc., and not inhaling properly. I do still get congestion with VG, but not as bad a reaction as I do with PG.
(I'm also sensitive to some flavours!) Absolute pain seeing I was never allergic or sensitive to anything in my life before ...apart from one tablet the doctor gave me and was swiftly discarded!
I went from Spinner ll's to MVP2's and also got some iPow 1600mAh. Then the iSticks appeared and I got my first one from Ireland as there were none in stock here at the time.
I've got a Cloupor mini 30W on order at FT - they've been marked 'stock due in 20 days' for some time now, so I'll just wait!
I almost got an iPV mini, but haven't ....yet.
Nice to make your acquaintance Sarah!
Sounds promising then! I won't be jumping on them as soon as they turn up though ...will wait to see what the rest of you think firstHave heard that the 50w may be better regulated than the normal one and have PMdEvaSarah the chart and explanations
As you'll see, I found the post that explains the wattage/output stuff in my language of understanding!
The one still at Heathrow isn't sounding brilliant! Do you think it'll turn up?

Bloomin' 'ell that seems to be a lot of juice
Hope it will
Put my Billow (2.1 single coil) and as per the specs it will only go up to 20w - but it tastes great at that - so happy there, only had half a charge so put it on my 6 port USB block and I like they way it shows it is charging like a phone, and tells you when it's had enough juice 
so a thumbs up for that, it definitely is FUGLY, looks a bit like a large MVP with the top and bottom very similar, but at least the charge port is on the side and the buttons on the front next to the display, so a lot easier to use.
IPV3 - USB port it appears is now only for upgrading it - not charging it, the back is NOT magnetic and has 2 allen key type screws (no allen key type screwdriver included even though it showed it in the picture on FT) luckily I had a allen key that fitted the screws - this is an annoyance and manufacturers really need to think about magnetic backs if batteries need replacing, apart from that it works, as the batteries I am using for it needed charging I haven't managed to test it properly yet, although I did put the Billow on it whilst the DOVPO was charging and at 20w I got a similar vape to usual so no problems there

I had to go out before mine finished charging ( reading 4.1V )
and I haven't had a reply from either Dovpo or FT yet

What are your thoughts on the billow compared to the lemo? And have you tried it dual coil?
You may have posted this before as I had a break and then had a big catch up of 40 pages so may have missed it.
Don't forget your discount code aswell Marcus.

EDIT.....It finished at midnight last night
Gutted I missed that one on a better note received my mow today and I'm very happy with it looking in to getting a mega one now
Thought I'd post some thoughts on my last lot of concentrates from chefs before the new ones arrive:
Capella:
Vanilla custard - takes an age to steep to get what I think is the proper flavour but is nice when it gets there, before that it's ok. I haven't tried any other custards apart from chefs ABC and this is a bit different, it's definitely vanillay but I get a bit of eggyness as well (not unpleasant in my opinion). Nice on its own but I'll be adding it to other things as well like apple pie.
Choc glazed doughnut - Not such a long steep and not as sweet as I was expecting, which isn't a problem as it's a nice chocolate taste, reminds me a bit of profiteroles without so much creaminess. It's more chocolate than doughnut flavoured as well, although I get a hint of cakey doughyness in it.
Danish cinnamon swirl - Another long steeper, I thought it was done steeping after a few weeks but then I left it for another week and it changed colour even more to a really dark brown. The cinnamon needs that time to settle down I think as to start with it tastes a bit harsh. I'm not 100% convinced by this one but I went for it because I've seen lots of people raving about it so maybe it needs yet more time...
PA:
Ry4 Asian - strong concentrate this one and needs a moderate 2 week steep I reckon. Pretty straightforward tasting caramel heavy ry4 to me. Not sure I'll get it again as there are so many other ry4s to try but I'll gladly be vaping this one in rotation.
Sweet cream - Not a very strong flavour and obviously not great on its own but a little added to other mixes smoothes it out a bit although I find you don't want to add too much or it gets a bit sickly.
Mom and Pops:
Bud's blend - sweet tobacco, I don't find it particularly complex and it is very sweet for a tobacco, but it's alright. I probably wouldn't re-order it and I prefer the ry4 asian and others but it's ok.
Batter up - cake batter, but more like american cake as opposed to a classic sponge if that makes sense. It's not great on its own but it's good for adding to others. I think I prefer it to sweet cream for adding to things to make them a bit smoother and cakier.
Calipitter chow - This is a good one. It's described as a sweet and savoury vape and that is spot on. I find it's like a complex mixture of plainish cake/cracker/dough etc with some butteryness. The description I'm giving doesn't really do it justice as it is really nice. I haven't done so yet just because I've enjoyed vaping it on its own so much but I reckon it would be good to add a bit of others to it like lemon or other not overly sweet fruits.
Mt Baker:
Lemon bar - Probably my favourite of the bunch and I know a lot of you have had this one, but I find it a not overly sweet, tart, biscuity, cakey lemon. Really good and one of my favourite things to vape with a wee dram as it's not very sweet.
Blue moo - You guys rave about this one and it is good but I don't think it's as good as I was expecting having heard about it from you guys. It's a pretty good blueberry with a bit of creamy cakeyness for me but not as much as I was expecting, the cakeyness gets lost in the blueberry I find, and it is very sweet.
One on One:
Maple Pecan Pie - Pretty good, although it tastes pretty much spot on to what I was expecting for some odd reason I don't find this one to really rave about. It tastes as it should, a mapley pecany vape with a bit of savouryness (wouldn't necessarily identify it as "pie") in the background. I find it needs sweetening/smoothing out with the cake batter or cream or some ethyl maltol. Maybe once I crack the perfect mix of those things it'll be superb but for now it's just good. If you're in the market for these flavours though it's very realistic.
In short: Try the calipitter chow and the lemon bar if you haven't already.

I never thought i would say this, but i have actually gone off the blue moo now. Dunno what it is but i tried some last week, and it just didn`t taste right to me
I see FT have got the vaporshark in now, with a fixed battery
Just checked - I've bought 250 of LCCC and 260 of Doughnut - I do have a fair bit of LCCC because I just got some, but due to re-order the Doughnut in a week or two. ...be a lot more of the Mint Choc as I've used that since May. I've also had a fair bit of Posset too.Bloomin' 'ell that seems to be a lot of juice
I've found that since using the mini Nautilus, MOW's MVP's and iSticks, it doesn't go very far!
Glad you like it!
I've had two mega MOW's - first has been perfect, but the SS one came with a dud coil in it and leaked badly. The first one tends to leak very slightly out of the air holes when the coil is worn out, but it's not much and I usually get a couple more days from them and just need to dab the slight leak off the air holed a few times each day.
They're certainly the best larger tank I've had! Usually, when I've liked a small/standard size, the bigger ones are awful in comparison.
I have 5 standard MOW's and they all work perfectly.
I think some of the best custards are probably a blend of various custard flavourings each with it's own special attributes. Vanilla's can be done in the same way too. I'm thinking it's something that'll need a bit of skill to get something special.
I wonder if there's a good basic doughnut - I see PA, Capella and One on One all do a glazed doughnut. I have a chocolate Avant Garde one that has too much of a chocolate bias, so perhaps getting either the Capella or PA one would add that missing doughnut taste!
I do like the Chefs Doughnut though!
Cinnamon does get tamer with time. It's not something I can use though unless it's just a tiny bit.
Tasted neat, I get a hint of coconut cream from it. I've got some Whipped Cream but haven't tried it yet, and it hasn't got that extra sweet taste.
These sound interesting!
I like the Lemon Bar, but the LCCC is my favourite!
Blue Moo is something I couldn't use as an every day one ..not bad, but I did wonder if it would be nice mixed with a bit of custard or crème brulee so that the blueberry is just a hint of fruit - bit like a blueberry muffin. The FA Cookie tastes like pie crust, so that can add a nice flavour to some fruit ones.I've only used mine a few times and also have a bottle of the concentrate. May try to think of something else to use it with like a cake or cookie.I never thought i would say this, but i have actually gone off the blue moo now. Dunno what it is but i tried some last week, and it just didn`t taste right to me
Prefer the Lemo, a lot easier to build and a better vape in my opinion, it's just a copy of the orchid really
EDIT: did try a dual coil but in order to do it you have to use the pos post furthest away from the neg post, so trying to get the leg in the pos post without it getting in the way of the first coil is damned hard, in the end I couldn't get the 2nd coil to work properly so gave up took it out and kept the single in, that's why the res is high, was trying for a 1 ohm build.

Did you read the comments...
Oooo Looky HERE trish, a red box mod for you
Don't look Trish
I've got the Blue one, it takes 1 x 18650 and 1 x 18350, one of the battery tubes has an active spring cap the other has a blank cap, when 1 battery runs out you swap the caps over, it's only a normal 15w mod though made by Sigelei - the Tmax v5
No i didn`t, but i am guessing it is crap
There was a couple of people thinking it was a real one as it didn't say "style", and seeing as the cheapest you can get it for is about £90 it definitely is not a DNA30 but some cheapo chinese board inside, that's not to say it won't do the job just like any other 30w mod.
I've enquired if the mod cuts off when the battery is fully charged
