Will try a Mega tank tomorrow. Just now I replace the coil and it dont seem too bad but the previous coil only lasted a day then hardly any vapour and no taste.
You really should consider getting into rebuildables, dead easy once you get used to it and save a small fortune :)
Could also be a bad batch of coils, but not practical to keep throwing money at them IMO

Yea I know what you mean Terry but I am not very good with my hands and my eyes aren't that good but will look into it, certainly would be cheaper.
If you`re not sure about wrapping coils etc then you can buy them ready wrapped then it`s just a case of putting one on the deck, threading some cotton and job done :) easy peasy

Well i retired my second KF4 this afternoon. I had been vaping the Caramel Cappuccino in it, and if you remember me saying, it tasted bloody awful like burnt rubber. I was very near the point of tipping it a few day`s ago, around 80 ml of diy and 15 ml of concentrate.

Anyhoo, i`m glad i saved it as i set up one of my new Bellus and thought i would just give the said juice another chance. Glad i did :) Never thought i would say this about a kayfun but the flavour was ranc compared to the Bellus, and i have to say that i am rather enjoying it now as it does taste of the description and not a burning tyre. :thumb:
Great save! You may never have known if you had thrown it away and never used any more of it! :)

I'd been sorting out my concentrates over the past few weeks, as many were still stacked in the boxes they arrived in, and in one lot I sorted through, I found a 50ml bottle of 3mg Welsh Custard, and another lot, a 100ml bottle 3mg NICE ...and very nice it is too. The first 30ml bottle I had seemed a bit overly sweet, but this is very nice.
I'll likely make some DIY with concentrate at some point! :)

I've put all my concentrates in Tiger Tuff A4 deep boxes now (apart from the small bottles which are in a standard depth box) ..much easier to see as they're transparent.

I seem to have never stopped today ...walk to the dog groomer, back again after an hour (only a mid-month brush and tidy), two lots of visitors, and sorting bits n pieces out including changing accountants ...had no idea they needed two proofs of identification, and a signed form to the outgoing one. The 'new' one is an accountant who merely moved on and has known me for years.

The custard types do seem to get better as they age, so that was a very good find :)

:confused: Sounds about right :lol:

I hadn't thought of that! You're probably quite right - when I do make some, I'll put it aside for a couple of months! :)

Probably a requirement for the company, not the individual accountant I suppose.
I felt pretty awful leaving the original firm as I'd been with them since '94 - but most of the senior staff had retired or left, and it didn't have the same feel. Two of the ones that had dealt with my accounts had both gone to a different firm 1-2 years ago, and I found them at LinkedIn.

I got a tax rebate in January with not working much the past 18+ months, and had to pay 1/3 of it in accountancy fees! New firm are charging a far better rate.

Hodges has dropped high nic bottles as far as I can see although they say TPD compliant 10 ml bottles coming soon. Seriously limiting my choice this TPD lark. :(
You can still buy shots of 18mg nicotine and add them to the larger bottles of whichever flavour liquid you like. Strawberry Heaven for instance:
Supplied as 55VG/45PG.
Should be Combined with a Nicotine Shot or Vg top up. (Sold Separately - These can be found
HERE.
0mg Top up Vg or pg, 9mg Nic Shot (10ml), 18mg Nic Shot (10ml) PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

DIY is made easy now, i can knock up a few 100 ml bottles in about 30 minutes, and the savings are, as Bob would say, Mahoosive :laugh:

So you buy the Concentrate in say a 40ml bottle then just add a 10ml shot of 18mg nic to the concentrate. Sorry for being slow.
A bit confusing to start off mate, but dead easy when you get into it. Unfortunately you missed the boat for large bottles of nic, but you can still get PG/VG/concentrate and the small bottles of nic so shouldn`t be a problem to make your own.

Not at all - it was alien to most of us a couple of years ago.
Yes, this is an easy method to get around the new laws - you can buy bottles of ready to use flavoured liquid that have no nicotine added, and then buy 10ml shots of nicotine to add ...you just need to know how many of them to get the strength you need in the quantity you're making. Some sites I've seen tell you how many for what strength.
The highest strength shots you can get is 20.

I'm fine making it using the 3mg base liquid, but haven't even thought about using the full strength bottles I've got yet - got plenty of 3mg base liquid to last me a year.
I already make the MCV with 5 different flavours, but do prefer the one shot concentrates :)

You can still get the bigger bottles at that link we had a week or two ago? Think it was this one?
Still to start off with, it's perhaps better for someone new to it to use the 10ml shot bottles to keep it simple at first.
