Just set the lemo up with a 30g, 3mm dia, 2.6 ohm coil, chimney wicked and strawberry milk @ 15 watts and it's lovely, easily on par with my orchids for flavour but maybe not as much cloud

Do you want to get rid of any more Terry

 

[trouble1000]

In case you'd forgotten ... my nickel build in the lemo is still going really strong. Flavour from red astaire juice is excellent and it produces a lot of vapor, more than some of my rda builds. I've been enjoying it at about 30W at 450F but to be honest the temp doesn't get near the 450F mark, gets to maybe 410F. I wonder if it's reading it 100% right or whether the constant flow of juice from my excellent wicking keeps it cooler

I do apologise Adam, my memory aint what it used to be I've been watching a few Flask vids and nickel build vids just out of interest, I'm sure with all my experience and vaping knowledge I'll have it sussed out in no time It's probably your excellent wicking skills mate

He might do but I didn't see him while I was in there mate.

Just watch out for those finger nails of his if you do see him

While I remember I made up some of your 'Terry's Jungle Juice' (without passionfruit as I don't have that one yet), kind of estimating the no. of drops compared to your % values, but keeping the proportions the same obviously.... aaaand it's pretty good. A lot of different fruits going on in there make it a bit difficult to single them out in the flavour but it's definitely pleasant. By the way when did you get your inawera blueberry? Because I think they changed it to make it stronger a few months ago and I have the newer one. It overpowers anything it's mixed with in my mixes and in your jungle juice it's possibly the strongest flavour I can pick out behind the orange which is 3x as strongly mixed.

that's what I like about the juice, it seems to morph and change over time. Different power levels seem to bring out different flavour notes too. Your probably right about the blueberry, I've had it for months, so it will be the weaker version. The dominant flavour in the mixes I have is definitely orange with just a background note of blueberry.

Just by coincidence before reading that I'd decided to switch to a thinner wire because I'd heard my atty still fizzing after a lung hit with 26g wire, that cant be good with regards to gunking up or wasting juice

I did an experiment not so long ago with 28 and 29g kanthal in my RM2 (for the Reo). The thinner wire did cool down quicker after letting go of the fire button. I also found that my coils were lasting a fair bit longer too, they didn't gunk up as quickly.

Don't think I'd want to try no nicotine - certainly not yet anyway! I was using a mix of a PG free one with the 20% of NT Strawnilla I have yesterday, and the PG free one was 6mg and the Strawnilla 18 (because I used to use it 20% with a zero) so I ended up with higher than I've been used to and knew it!

You can't beat a good nic buzz, unless your driving at the time Like I said, I'm perfectly happy with 18-20mg. If I have a device that's very efficient, I'll just drop the wattage, rather than lower the nic level. I've yet to see a site that charges less for lower nic levels in juices, but I guess it would save me a little money on my DIY juices - not a huge amount though.

No, and it's terrible - they should all stay at home!

I'll second that view

 

[trouble1000]

Decided to do a small order at Chefs earlier on. Some of the juices I've not tried yet. So went for the 5 bottles for £20 option. I've gone for :

LCCC.
ABC.
Posset.
PMP.
Doughnut King.

Most of these on the rave reviews that some of you have given. So if I don't like them, I know who to blame

-------------------------------------------

Cleaned out the Subtank, left the 0.5 ohm OCC coil in it and filled up with some Ducks Breath. Tell you what, I'm really impressed with it. I get more of the vanilla at higher watts and more of the creamy toffee goodness at lower watts. It's a lovely creamy vape and I do get hints of chocolate in the background, very smooth but not too sweet. I've also fired up the DOVPO too. Bit of a tight squeeze getting button top batteries in there, but it works exactly as it should.

Not had chance to play with the Flask yet, might do that tomorrow, once I get my backside into gear

I've just done one with 25.5awg about 0.8ohm I think it came out at, 2 mods and a meter all gave different readings. Wicked it exactly the same way I would a kafun. Everything was simple, building the coil, fitting the coil, wicking and filling. No spills no leaks I'm well impressed.

The juice I'm trying is Banana Split from Virtual Vapes and it's bloody lovely, that's 2 juices of there's I've tried and both have been first class. They deserve a little link for that.

Ha ha, he post mine the same time and I got mine yesterday. Isn't UnRoyal Mail good.

Looks like the bleeders have lost another of mine, the one from York still hasn't turned up, and it wasn't in the pick-up point of the Delivery Office when I went down there on Wednesday

Considering how much I smoked, and how jumpy I got if I hadn't had a cigarette for a while, I'm surprised that I've been able to cut back on it so much. I suspect a bit of it has been psychological in that I went through a phase of being really worried in case it got banned or greatly restricted, so made a big push to reduce the levels, and did so over around 6 months.

I'll second that view

Perhaps the basis for a popular political party?

I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of those - The Welsh custard may be better than ABC, but it's not on the site yet, and I've liked ABC well enough, especially as a mixer.
PMP is a lovely 'thick' flavour fruit - I love that body/thickness that comes with a rare few! A little bit of Strawberry Vapetto (or any other strawberry) will give it a whole new variation/alternative, as does raspberry. Or, add custard, and it's a fruit custard!
Doughnut King - well, I've had 100's mls since that came out! Definitely an all day favourite for me (It's the Welsh Custard that's in that one).
Posset is great for a clean yet calm flavour, and LCCC is another one of those all day ones for me! In both, the lemon can be increased for a change now and then by adding a few drops of FA's Lemon Sicily flavouring

AND - The Interstate Certified is now in stock at Vanilla Vapes - they despatch fast too. I ordered some last night and it's on it's way today. I got the 45, 5150, 0 and another small bottle of CO* Co-star. I already got a 30ml bottle of the 365.
I also got a bottle of Vape Kitchen Juicy Pear ..thought it would be nice with custard!

Will you get compensation Bob?

 

[Bobw1951]

Let us know how you get on with the nickel build on the Lemo mate. You can be the guinea pig

Both Adam and myself have both done Lemo nichrome builds for the TC mods, and although mine has settled down, it's definitely not showing the correct resistance that I built on it, which if I remember was about 0.12 but shows 0.33 on the mods

The Venison is quite expensive Bob, about 7 quid a pack. But the other speciality meat is pretty reasonable. It's good for a treat though.

So, just for my consumption then, the missus can have pork

Lots of people do get by on zero nicotine. But for me, I still enjoy the nic buzz. Some of it may be "all in my head". But I'm happy at 18mg. I can't see myself going any lower. In fact I still have some 20mg DIY liquid for extra stressful occasions - usually at work

Because I reduced quite quickly, I still have bottles of 18mg, 12mg & 6mg as well as 3mg, so I find that the higher nic ones get vaped at lower wattages than the others

Having to deal with people, nothing worse is there

Supermarkets are nasty places to go, too many people who are out to maim you with their shopping trollies & baskets.

 

[Bobw1951]

If it hasn't arrived by Monday, iVapour-elixir are going to re-send it

EDIT: will have to get in touch with FT next week about the 1st one they lost, it's nearly been 60 working days, so they should have heard something from HK post by now.

I've just cleaned the V4 exact same coil as the Lemo exact same juice slightly thicker wick, it was a bit tight pulling through but the Lemo was a bit loose. Both wicked with rayon. Verdict: I can see it getting much better than this. Maybe even out the wick for perfection and that's it.
The Lemos and the V4 and simple to work on with mess at all. I've got the ipv mini, the runt with mini kayfun and a dogpo gx200 plenty of mech mods and finally some good juice on my hit list. I'm a happy man again.

 

[vince01]

Coil still fizzing after you've stopped firing I find is a sign that the wick is a bit dry. Either I've taken the power too high for the coil/wick combo in a tank or I need to drip some more in an RDA. Also I've noticed that rayon definitely fizzes more than cotton.



Red astaire is one of my favourites at the moment. Definitely recommend it.

Where do you get your RA from Adam ?

I'll be honest, I didn't start vaping for health reasons, I did it to save money - so reducing my nic level isn't really a priority for me. Plus I know I can stockpile nic solution if it every gets over regulated. I love my nicotine

Perhaps the basis for a popular political party?

Could well be, one to rival the Monster Raving Looney Party

I know how much you've all enjoyed those juices, seemed a bit daft that I hadn't ordered them before - so I ordered them I can't have a week with no vapemail, I'd feel left out otherwise

I think I might start with a Lemo then Bob, either that or a Kayfun. I'll let you all know how I get on.

Good idea mate, might be too expensive otherwise

Because I reduced quite quickly, I still have bottles of 18mg, 12mg & 6mg as well as 3mg, so I find that the higher nic ones get vaped at lower wattages than the others

So you've got a backlog of juices then too Bob

I`ve only got 2 left now Vin, and one of them is earmarked for Adam. I plan on using the other for a nickle build, so for now mate nope

 

[terry w]

Right, my verdict on charlies custard ! George, it tastes just as good as it smells mate, bloody lovely. I have it in a KF4 with a 1.1 coil and rayon. On to the siggy, and started out at 10 watts, up up up, and settled at 14.5.

Tons of flavour, and easily on par with GVC. I am also getting massive clouds, and find it wicks much better than goose juice, with it being a 50/50 opposed to Quack`s 100% VG.

I reckon i will jump on to that offer now, and get 100ml for the price of 75.

 

[Pictor]

I'll be honest, I didn't start vaping for health reasons, I did it to save money - so reducing my nic level isn't really a priority for me. Plus I know I can stockpile nic solution if it every gets over regulated. I love my nicotine

I could have done better if I'd not bothered about reducing the nicotine! Hopefully, I'll get there though! (Certainly feeling more interested in work, even if I'm not doing a lot of it yet!).
I did notice I could taste the flavours better with less nicotine though - but it's all about what makes us all happy

I've got quite a lot of NT 18 and 12mg because I got them to mix with the max VG zero nicotine ones - so I'm ordering my new-found PG free ones in very low or zero nicotine.

Could well be, one to rival the Monster Raving Looney Party

Oh yes, we do need to be a bit loopy!
...as an aside - I see Ireland are pondering on putting taxes on e-cigs! - it's only a matter of time!

I know how much you've all enjoyed those juices, seemed a bit daft that I hadn't ordered them before - so I ordered them I can't have a week with no vapemail, I'd feel left out otherwise

I hope you like them!
Did you get any of the Interstate from Vanilla? They despatch right away, so you'd get it fast. I should get mine tomorrow if the post does it's bit!

I have dropped my nic from 24mg to 18mg, but that's it for me. I only really used the 24mg with silica wick in basic attys.

I've got quite a lot of NT 18 and 12mg because I got them to mix with the max VG zero nicotine ones - so I'm ordering my new-found PG free ones in very low or zero nicotine.

As long as their not wasted that's the main thing

The loopier the better
I know we'll probably follow suit with the taxes eventually. As long as their not taxed to the same extent as ciggies.

I hope you like them!

I've been happy with most of the Chefs ones so far, so I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy these too.
I've not ordered from Interstate yet, that's my next one to try. I was hoping the Chefs order might get posted today, but I think I was a bit late ordering.

Still tentatively making sure I can use them, OK so far I think. If I can't though, I know where I can send them as they're mostly 18mg!

Loopy is a necessity these days!
As for tax, you can bet they'll make it as high as they can. They must be feeling the loss with so many people not smoking now - I'd be interested to know how the tobacco companies are trying to manipulate the government.

I've been happy with most of the Chefs ones so far, so I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy these too.
I've not ordered from Interstate yet, that's my next one to try. I was hoping the Chefs order might get posted today, but I think I was a bit late ordering.

I usually find it's next day that they despatch - but yesterdays despatch got here today. With luck, you'll get it on Saturday

I'll have to get another bottle of that Dragonscape - it's one of those interesting ones that's hard to put down, and I've found the Doughnut tastes even better after I've been using it too! Must refresh the palate!
Shame it's the only Artist Collection one with a 70/30 mix. There's another two that sound really good: Paramour and Sacre Coeur, but they're 50/50.

 

[terry w]

Great! Glad it's so good ..not glad I can't try it!

As he makes his own Trish, maybe you could drop him an email asking if he could make you some at higher VG ! Just a thought
