NVM I got it. Seems my cotton was too long and blocking the channels....le sigh that was messy taking it apart with a full tank because my needle wont go in far enough to suck out the juice.

Glad ya got it working!

I also received my KFL yesterday. Having never wrapped a coil before, made a beauty on my second try. Bit o' cotton, joose fill and... ACK!!! Forgot to clean da KFL. My Iffy's Green Apple Pie tasted like Iffy's Oil Change.

Da KFL is presently taking a vodka soak. I'll get back wid ya'll later wid an update on my retry. <fingers crossed>


I had an 18650 (almost?) go into "run-away" mode this weekend!

That's scary! Was it da PV or topper?

Smoked for 40+ yrs. much of that was 2 pks/day....realized if I didn't quit I wouldn't be breathing without oxygen...

I found this site in 2010...did a little research and bought a Riva....I was lucky, I quit the ciggs the day the Riva arrived...and never looked back...in the next couple of years I bought lots of pv's..tried lots of juice from everywhere..dabbled in DIY, and tried all the new fangled attys and cartos and tanks that came out...and loving every minute of it! But eventually I found my perfect set up and quit buying .. By the time I found my set up of choice I had accumulated quite a collection...:D..from my Journeyman, to the Original Buzz, Egos, GG's, Glv's, Provape, Infinity, Reos...are just a few in my collection...and I have them all nicely packed away..Except for my Reos and RBA'S...my perfect set up..that's all I use now....My Reo of choice is my grand, microcoil/cotton wick is the best set up I have found so far..that and my fav DIY juice and I am set....But I use all my Reos....when I go out I take 2 Reos and I'm set...I also use my WOW at home for tasting juice......So I am now very happy with my vaping experience...at 18 mg. juice and holding...I don't have plans to quit vaping in the near future....lol :vapor:

Hi Deb - nice of you to drop in a tell your story. There's a couple other Reo fans that are regulars here. I'm afraid to try one - so many people really like 'em, I might turn into 'one' and then my collection of PV's might start collecting dust.

Us older folk also have a hang-out over in the lounge were we don't have to stay on topic about 'vaping'.

There used to be a thread on the forum here somewhere where people in need were matched up with people willing to help. Maybe hunt for that? Surely someone in the UK can be found to help you out. :)

Hey ya'll! I got my banner! Refused to do it until I was off the cigs for a month. WooHoo!

I am unbelievably happy!:banana:

A big Yay! for you Deb. Congratulations.

i have been on the uk forum and a member on there is making me some juice and posting it out to me thanks

And a big boo-hoo, not good news. Sorry to hear you've lost your job, but its real nice that someone has pitched in to help. Oh and where's my manner - Welcome to the thread.

i really love this forum since loosing my job this is the only thing that is keeping me going and chargingup my battery every 2 hours because it is on ts last legs but it hopefully wont be long before something comes along it might be wishful thinking but i can live in hope cant i

I know how it feels, I'm on Workman's Comp, getting a percentage of my pay every week due to injury at work and surgery, when they are so inclined to send it. Haven't gotten a check since 12/14 and my attorney is screaming, but that only does so much.
So when I had the $$$ I bought everything I needed, along with all the DIY stuff to make my juices and now that I'm broke, I am SO glad I did and glad I don't have to try to come up with $$ for smokes.

Wish I was in the UK, I could make you some juice, I have plenty of supplies, just no money to mail it. :(

no worries but thanks i have never been this down in my life but as the saying goes things can only get better

Nowhere to go but UP! :) If this has been your only tough time, you've done very well. I think most of us have seen a couple/few bad times in life. There's an old saying...'What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger'.

Hang in there hon!

Explore your talents and list your skills and strong points. Spend some time every day adding to your list and developing them. That practice will help your self-confidence in interviews. It will only make you stronger, even if it lasts longer than you thought.

It was the Birthday - he wanted to spoil himself for being a good boy for so many years :)D)

Da Aspire was da gateway to da Sophia, best carto concept I've seen thus far. As for da KFL, I read too much here! Besides, I've been a good boy for a while with da plastic.
