Yeah, you will notice a massive difference Dave. I did all mine 9 wraps at 2.5 ml, and they are smog machines

I'm sure I've some different kanthal, I've 3 different ones.

I can`t see me using 28 gauge or thicker again Dave, 30 gives a cracking vape IMO

The stuff I have is about 31awg it just says 0.21 on the reel, it was sent as a freebie. I'll try and use that.

That should be perfect mate

 

[Davantrac]

I've just ordered 30m of 30awg so should have enough soon.

There are 2 (3) new ready to use ones in the standard Chefs range: Virtual Doughnut with a choice of Strawberry OR Raspberry, and Virtual Custard

Also, a new section: 'Max VG' - Strawberry Rice Krispie, and the Max VG version of Virtual Custard

With their track record for decent ones, I'm going to try all four

Don't know anything about this company, he seems to know what he's talking about when I've seen him in the town with his market stall. But he is advertising high vg juices. Could be interest to some. I know he has a market stall and also sells from a flooring shop the other side of town, don't if he does the flooring as well never been in the shop.

Apart from The Disciple, I've tried everything they've made since last April when I first ordered from them! There's been very few that I haven't liked, and I have 3 all day ones and a handful of frequent use ones, plus some to dip into now and then

I think you're right about Vape-elicious - let's hope they're good ones! Perhaps a few more yet to appear!

I just got an order with some more Peeps (haven't used my BOGO code yet) it was despatched 4th, arrived/cleared 8th - arrived here yesterday afternoon.
I've had one arrive in 4 days - it was just a small package ...took the same time as letter post from the US.

That's a nice image! You should post it on the Nicoticket section too!

I got mail: The Mini Subtank! - it's now got the 1.2ohm coil in it and sat on the iStick30W full of Doughnut King. Tastes good too!

The iStick 30 seems to be well balanced - that large tank sits on it, off-centre of course, and it's perfectly balanced ..stands there rock steady! It can go on the new 50W iStick when it finally gets here! Been in the country since 8th.

I just peered at the RBA that came with the Subtank ...Good eyesight Terry said ...new eyes perhaps! Can see the coil and a bit of wire disappearing into a screw - so that piece of cotton cloth? - does a twisted bit of it get stuffed inside the coil spring and then bunged on top of it all when the wires are screwed in? (Not that I intend fiddling around trying this of course, so no lengthy instruction needed! )

More or less, the chimney is in 2 parts, the knurled top bit unscrews from the main body of the chimney allowing access to the wick from the top, one idea is to poke the assembled wick back down the chimney to the base close to the 2 juice slots (this is made easier by priming the wick with juice). There are probably plenty of you tubes on the subject, and if a picture is worth a thousand words a video with commentary is worth a million

Pretty much Trish yes ! we`ll soon have you building it yourself

I cleaned 2 of mine out today, and filled one with Purple Haze from SG, and the other with some home brewed Graham Cracker. I am puffing away on the former right now, and it is very very nice. I will try the GC later on, and report back on that one. Also this morning i put some sweet cream in the coffee fresh, and it really transformed it from something that was just vapable, to a nice creamy coffee.

I did screw it apart to take a look ...then screwed it back on pretty quickly

You reckon ...I think the mental image of me poking around with it and failing miserably is more enough. I think the screwdriver was made for The Borrowers for a start!
Still, if I feel like messing with my head, I'll take a look at Youtube!

I'll take Terry up on his offer to 'fix it' and I'll keep it as a back up, and perhaps find out how to keep it going

Also Trish, if you do decide to unscrew the chimney parts, try not to squeeze when doing so. It only takes a gentle finger/thumb hold ! I read about this quite a while ago, and what happens if you squeeze too hard, the chimney section pushes against the threads, and makes it difficult to un-screw. just a thought before you build your own coil/wick

 

[Pictor]

I'll stay with pre made coils for now, and your 'spare' ones - but if I send you this one and you fix it at some point, I'll have a back-up and perhaps be able to get further with it then ...sound like a plan?

All sounds good - so glad about the coffee! (I see the Sweet Cream flavouring still on the MBV site) - be interested to hear about the cracker!

Thanks Terry! ...if anything, I'm too careful/gentle with things- all I did was look at the RBA and screwed it apart once I realised that's how to get into it, and then screwed it back together Build a coil? Nah!
