    Morning shinies ;)

    Is just the glass or the atty?



    I do like it so far, just need to test with a better battery which I'm waiting to arrive and the muted taste I felt with this one and the Drag X is actually the juice. It's crap :facepalm:



    Now that you are align about flavours I was mean to ask you where do you get them. As said above I need to fix that bad juice which allegedly strawberry (it's very weak to no taste) do you think a bit of concentrate might fix it and if so strawberry or something else? In real life I prefer raspberries over strawberry o_O. Any help from anyone will be appreciated :)
    @Pigs 's Flavour world would be my first choice too, but they don't ship to NZ yet. I use Chef's Flavours (code thekitchen 15% off) for the majority as they are cheaper than anywhere else currently. There's some flavours I love that they don't carry, so I also use The Steamery in Aussie.

    In NZ the best site for flavours is Vape Canyon. Their selection is getting better too. My fave Raspberries have all been previously mentioned apart from Purilum Raspberry. But as soon as I tried Purilum's Boysenberry, my raspberry ice cream mixes got ditched in favour of boysenberry ice cream :wub:

    i have had to use the odd tool to unscrew the base/deck... but that's not just gear, all my rta's done that.
    i remember this patterned rubber pad thingie some reviewer recommended that might comein handy if i only knew what it's called or where to find one . i've tried the rubberband trick a couple times, as usual worked the first time.
    My go to for loosening vape related things ;)

    I say it's a win. Looks like all our emails, phone calls and petitions pressured the backbenchers enough for them to tap the health minister on the shoulder. He listened.
    Gotta say I'm amazed. It's extremely unusual in Aus politics - especially when the gov is riding high in the polls - for people power on a modest scale (no street marches etc) to have such an effect. And so quickly. We're talking a few days.
    You've gotta understand that this barely made the news here in Aus. The general population had no idea about vape bans and couldn't care less.
    Turns out Charlie was right that I was sounding defeatist. Still I didn't give up on actions even if my words (and thoughts) were bleak. Now my fellow vapers have no excuse not to stock up.

    Congratulations and good luck! So happy for you and all the Australian vapers!

    Yeah The Steamery are good too. They also have a B&M store near me for emergency flavour top ups

    Thanks all for the input and helpful websites to fix that no taste strawberry. I just have one question left, the juice is 3mg so I can fix it by adding a bit of concentrate? I get confused because there are one shots and I don't really know much :cry:

    My untechnical fix: You have 60ml of crappy Strawberry juice @3mg. Add in 1 drop of concentrate - shake the crap outta it, try it. If still weak, add another drop, shake and repeat. 1 drop of concentrate = 0.03g = 0.05%. So say you end up liking it after 5 drops? That's still only 0.25% of your total mix, so it won't affect the amount of nicotine by very much :wub:

    Different concentrates have different recommended mixing percentages. ELR has the best guide on them. Google eliquid recipes and it's the first result

    Thanks Ange will do this and also have a read at ELR. Yours and others posts I have taken screenshots plus bookmarked the websites for flavours. Thanks for the help. Now I can see a way out instead of wasting so many useless mls of eliquid :wub:

    Yeah what they actually saying is...We don't know how to handle this vaping thing, so we're giving you time to stock up while we make our minds.
    Lucky you, here they just ban if they're confused. Or try to ban it. What works is they came up with a solution that a GP can fix.,a script.
    It's sad because, here vaping is still widely regarded as smoking. They trying to include it in the smoking bill.
