Tfv12 is a beastly tank - I had the Prince which I only ever used with the 6 coil atty, the higher coils wrecked my batteries, although the flavours were epic. Couldn't justify paying £15 for the disposable coils though so I went back to using my old ijoy limitless rdta (damn I miss that!)
At the moment I've got my Druga setup with 2 tiger coils coming in at 37ohms which I'm running at 65w and I'm getting monstrous clouds and ridiculously intense flavour from the Dr juice Cherry Times juice I picked up this morning.
Haha i have never heard of the coils or setuo you mentioned. What are the flavours like with your setup. I only used black note eliquid as it is real tobacco but i want some flavours like brown sugar cinnamon or the latest one i bought which is decoded davinci code (butter pecan brulee) which is really nice. Though i need 18mg of nicotine so it does impact the flavour. Just curious have you seen and frstd brown sugar cinnamon over there in the u.k i am guessing because you used the £ sign and only uk use sterling haha

I'd take a photo of my setup but the camera on the phone is worse than useless - I'll upload photos tomorrow.

I have attached a photo of tiger coils for you to have an idea of what I'm on about. Given the extra surface area of the coil it gives off a hell of a lot more vapour than a standard coil.

There's no way I could deal with 18mg these days, but yet again most juice for sub-ohm vaping (high vg liquid) is around the 3-6mg range, haven't seen many above that. That said thanks to the tpd crap any liquid sold in the UK over 10ml is 0mg nicotine,normally 50ml with a "free"10ml nicshot, usually 18mg which gives you around 3mg liquid when you add the shot.

I have to get either the small 18mg bottles or get a high concentrate eloquid if i want a bigger bottle.. that is some coil and id say it provides nice flavour. I don't know much about that type of coil but they do look nice. Haha this eliquid is driving me mad i am almost out of my good stuff will need to buy more

    I have been on and off the vaping for a few years all the while smoking. So i have decided to try make my own flavours. It could be nothing to worry about except my impatience but the eliquid has a strange taste but no flavour i used 30ml total for 3x10ml flavours (brown sugar, maple pecan and cinnamon swirl) recommended at either to or from 10%m in a mix of 200ml eliquid base pre ready at 70/30 vg/pg. Which is 5% of each flavour. No nicotine has yet been added to any of them. trangely enough for one of them a banana flavour, i got the banana flavour once i took it out and put in a commercial one. Any ideas or is it just wait. I made them approaching 2 days ago now.

    I've asked a mod to move your post into the diy sub forum, where you will get more help :thumb:

    What brand flavour concentrates are you using? That will also help us to better understand your recipe

    If you Google e-liquid recipes - the first link that shows is an awesome resource for information on flavours. You can also create your own recipes there, or view other people's recipes.

    Lol those coils are nothing compared to what some people have made! If go as far as to say coils are only limited by the imagination, but some are just ridiculous!

    Make your own flavors or make your own juice? There’s quite a bit of confusing language here. Not sure what to make of what you are saying.
    Haha sorry. I bought in the vg/pg and the flavours but i mean i already had in mind what % of which flavour to use ofcourse within the recommendations. First one was brown sugar, cinnamon swirl and maple peacan all averaging at 5%

    That is crazy stuff and i thought vaping is supposed to be cheaper than smoking hahaha

    Maybe you should check out the Shinyitus thread.....buying an excessive amount of expensive vape gear can become an addiction lol

    And the brand of each flavour? The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) ?

    Well I wish you all the best with quitting smoking - I've had a few relapses myself over the years, but I'm hoping that this time I've finally kicked the dirty habit!

    Anyway, now that I've re-wicked my coils and juiced them up nicely I'm going to have a quick puff then I'm off to bed!

    Peace

    Do a Google for "e-liquid recipe calculator"

    I'd share a link, but the draconian rules here.


    If you look up the flavors you have there, you get percentages others use as well as notes.
    Hi, i used the recommendations and i picked a percentage on each somewhere in the middle of minimum and maximum, of anything it could be it is definitely not how much flavour i used
