Just been bounced by the Hospital for a second time arrived at 08:00 and it was not until 15:10 that they told me they couldn't fit me in, appears they had a couple of emergencies come down from the wards, so another wasted day - now got to wait and see when they can fit me in again :glare:

Problem is, I know that I am going to be unable to do much for 2 weeks afterwards, so trying to plan anything is a nightmare, got a night out planned for 23/03 and mate coming over from Belgium Easter Sunday for a week, so if they can't fit me in next week, then it will have to wait until 2nd week in April or later.


I feel for you Bob.No one needs that.

Just been playing again, this time with the V4. How does this look?

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! ;)

All juices gratefully accepted :laugh:

Just a shame I can't reciprocate.

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.

You can bet big tobacco will have their fingers in a few government pies.

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 got the dispatch e-mail today :)


Feckin Ze Hell :laugh:

Check out Multilingual Terry :laugh:

Well I don't know what I've stood in for luck, but hope I can find some more.
I've just put together another of Terry's Lemos and real adventurous. I used 4 lengths of that 0.21mm kanthol I got free, twisted them together with a drill, 6 wraps on 2.4 bit gave me a 0.6ohm build. Didn't try to trap the wires under the screws, I took my time and used the post holes. A little tweaking and it looked perfect.
The juice I got from FT while they were having a sale. It's Huaberg, Fruit mix at 70/30 pg/vg and 12 mg nic. Cost 87p for 10ml. Tightened the airflow down to, I suppose a tight ciggy, put at 16w on the IPV mini and it's spot on again.
That's 3 liquids out 3 straight in the premiership league, all cheap, and the last 5 builds have been 99% perfect as well.
I'm on a roll.:rickroll:

You'll probably find that the vape quality is a fair bit better with a twisted wire build Dave. Only downside is they gunk up a lot quicker than a standard coil. The juice tends to caramelise in all the little nooks and crannies. I think the only build that's better than a twisted coil, is a parallel build mate :)

That's a bloody joke Bob. Especially making you wait all that time before sending you home :(

Happily rocking the Flask and Lemo at the moment :D

Been fairly busy today, so I've only had chance to have one attempt at TC build.
Bit of a fiddle getting the coil installed, you've got to be pretty delicate with the wire. It came out a bit higher than I wanted at 0.22 ohms, I've vaped a ml or so and it's now down to 0.21 ohms. Next build I'll probably go for a bit lower resistance. Wicked up with some rayon, temp set at 430 degrees and vaping at 23 watts. Had a play around with various temps and watts, at the moment this seems about where I want to be. I'm using a slightly thicker juice - Mothers Milk, so it's a little slow on wicking, hit the temp limit a couple of times. Next time, I'll use a little less wick with this juice.

But I'm really impressed with the flavour and vapour so far. I'd say it's as good as the Subtank with the 0.5 ohm coil, but a fair bit cooler :)

More importantly, How does it vape ? :D

Haven't tried it. Just cleaned and built it and put away ready for next load. I've got 2 Lemos on the go at the moment. 1 running a normal micro coil and 1 running a twisted same the v4. The twisted is a bit better even though it's on cheap juice.

I`ve not bothered with mine for a few days Ian ! I was dripping with the trident on it, but the lowest nic juice i have got is 12 mg, so even though like you say it is a cool vape, i find 12 mg too harsh on my throat. Hopefully over the weekend i will get the Lemo set up and fingers crossed it won`t be as harsh in a tank.

I wouldn't bother going for more strands Dave when you twist the wire.

I've tried twisted ribbon wire, bloody pain to stop it kinking up when you twist it, plus it breaks really easily when you try and trap it under the coil screws.

Using more strands of wire, just makes it really hard to work with, it's a pain trying to do the coil wraps and the coil ends up being really wide. You've gone for the best option using the number of strands that you did mate.

I'm still just using my normal 18mg juice, gives a quicker nic buzz :D I don't mind a bit of throat hit, just not overly keen on a warm vape. Now the ohms have gone down a little bit, the vape seems to be getting even better. It's a weird feeling when it hits the TC though :laugh:

The thing i found weird was how quiet a vape it is. I didn`t think anything was happening at first :laugh:

I can only assume your procedure isn't urgent?

Leonard Nimoy. Live no longer and do not prosper. You have finally gone where you've never been before. R.I.P.

Sorry couldn't resist, he was bloody good actor.
Ave atque vale.

All juices gratefully accepted :laugh:
Just a shame I can't reciprocate.
As long as stuff doesn't get wasted! ;)

You can bet big tobacco will have their fingers in a few government pies.
...and they frown at conflicts of interest and inappropriate association! :rolleyes:

I got the dispatch e-mail today :)
Hope the post does it's job tomorrow then!

Check out Multilingual Terry :laugh:
Oh yes - he's got hidden depths! :laugh:

To tell the truth the only reason I went for 4 was boredom. Had nothing to do, I reel of kanthal I didn't order and probably not use so play on steam to see what numbers would give something I could use and that's what I got.
Only thing I've found is that it needs a good few watts to get it going. The batteries I've got aren't fantastic so I've ruled out the mech mods, so it's the ipv mini and the dovpo gx200 with the 2 batteries in running the coils for now. Think I may need another couple of mods now. I'll keep my eye on the classifieds lol.
