Talking about Chefs earlier, the 2 orders i place saturday and sunday. Well i got the conformation emails, but no dispatch notice yet ??
I haven't had one either ...didn't with my last order either, although I did know that order was being sent from an email Karl sent about something else ..perhaps they're particularly busy :unsure: :)

I've had the odd "no notification" before now, think it happens when they are busy/short staffed, so don't have time to send out the emails.
Yes same here, but like i say it is very unusual Bob. Can you recommend me a good rta mate, this broken subby is giving me grief.

Main ones I am using that are rebuildable: Subtank Mini & Lemo 2, along with the Kayfuns, otherwise it is the Atlantis (prefer the v1) & Triton

So the Airflow is good on the last two ? And capable of Ni builds ? If so, have you got a linkey, preferably UK !

Don't you need an extra 3rd party RTA section for the atlantis?

The triton RTA section looks interesting, more like making a coil head than the classic "kayfun" style design of most.

I'm really digging my lemo 2 at the mo terry but as you sold me a lemo drop and the deck is pretty much identical not sure how you'd get on with it. In it's defence I think the lemo drop is the trickiest to wick of the 3 different lemos, think because of the reduced height juice doesn't flow up so well due to gravity.

Also just got the goblin mini the other day, re-wicked it a few times already as wasn't quite happy with the wicking, never used a dual coil RTA before so takes some different approaches to a kayfun/lemo/subtank style. Less is more. Pretty happy with it now though, no dry hits just maybe not quite as dense a vape as my lemo 2.

No, the last 2 are not rebuildable but you can get Atlantis Ni-200 coils for them although there is a separate RBA kit for the Triton, which may or may not fit the Atlantis.

I've just ordered one to have a look at it, at the moment, I am only building on the Lemos, Kayfuns & my RDAs all of which are bigger decks, the rest I tend to use the pre-built coils, although I have done one of the new v2 Subtank RBAs

The best of the three i think Bob

Need to re-do mine,not really happy with the wicking at the moment.
What gauge wire did you use Adam?

Do you think that will take to an Ni build Bob? With one of the legs being so long,saw a review and the guy thought it may not work,he only tried it with Kanthal.


I have three Lemo2's @terry just rebuilt them this morning all with Ni builds.
A .12 & a .13 these are sat on Vt 40's.And a .09 on my SX Mini.
I like them, much better than the Drop.You can pick them up in the UK for under £20 now,myepack if they have stock.

25 gauge 2.5mm coils, I think 6 wraps coming in at about 0.3 ohms. Trimmed the wicks really short and thinned them out at the ends a little, just so that you can tuck the underside of them into the juice channels very slightly.

I'd like to try 3mm coils in it but I don't know if they would fit and if they did then they might restrict the airflow by taking up too much space.

I need to buy a roll of wire,i only had 28g snapped the legs on approx 3 attempts.With four screws,a different one went each time i tried :laugh:
Got the build in finally,2.5mm coils but the 28g is far from ideal.And think i probably left too much cotton in there.Did as you said just touching the top of the juice channels but i think i left it too thick.
Started off great for approx half a tank,then got a few mild dry hits.

I think 25ga or 26ga give a nice compromise between thickness (making it easier to build) without being too rowdy or have a ramp up time.

Will have to wait and see, I've only tried Kanthal in the Subtank RBA so far, might try a Ni in that as I have a new one sitting waiting

I got mail:
My order from Chefs (PMP & QOP)
My order from MyEPack: D2 Charger & a *mega Evod tank.

*With the Mega Evod tank, it's got a larger capacity than the original basic Evod, and is similar to the Mega MOW ...as such, instead of the basic single coil in an Evod tank, it has a V2 coil as found in a MOW ...I'm going to try using it with a basic standard single coil ...unless someone says it won't work?

I finally did what we've needed to do since the sister practitioner retired from our old GP practice last December (she was the only one we still trusted) - I found us a new GP practice!

So far, so good - receptionists not like aggressive bulldogs, nice pleasant surroundings, and no lengthy waits to be called to see the doctor. Saw one last night and she agreed that I need some blood tests, got an appointment for that at lunch time today, and can call on Friday to see if the doctor has checked them ..if not, it'll be Tuesday.
Just hoping the tests show what on earth is causing my focus/concentration problems and associated issues: cold, tired, lethargic, low spirits, without it being something worthy of condemning me! :facepalm:

Then we went to the new opticians nearby only to find it's our excellent ex-pharmacists son (pharmacist was actually in there this afternoon too!) and we'll get overdue eye tests on Friday.

Perhaps a much needed overhaul will be a good thing ...we'll see! Just keep fingers crossed :)

Been drinking more water as prescribed by our Mr Pipe, and will be using some 12mg GVC in an hour or so for a while ;)
