Even though I’m no longer living there it really pains me that smokers are being pushed away from what is,in my opinion, the only thing that works for the large percentage. More Selfishly some of the best eliquid is made in the USA. Most of that will go away vs figuring out how to export for Europe. There is a concern also we could see this invasive creep in the eu /U.K.

It’s a shame. eliquid is really inexpensive there. The options are boundless for devices and setups and smokers can actually get help! Start helping them fed!!

It's a shame. The whole thing is a bloody shame. There's still a glimmer of hope that the FDA will be reasonable--somewhat--but in this political climate, I'm not holding my breath. The UK is light years ahead of us wrt vaping and tobacco harm reduction. You have vape shops in hospitals, for crying out loud.

I wanted to respond to you separately to thank you again for your offer............

Anyway there just weren’t many sites and the one I’d previously ordered from lowered from $26 to $20/100ml and there was a 25% off coupon. So it doesn’t get much better than that.

Again I really appreciate your kindness. Thank you very much! If this gets here without much fanfare it will probably be another 9 months before I worry about ordering more.

You're welcome for the offer. :)
I'm glad you found that super deal on your eliquid and were able to buy a whole bunch of it. If your friend hasn't shipped it yet...you may want to ask him to wrap the heck out of the bottles separately, with bubblewrap and line the package with it, too. Those Flat Rate Priority Mailers aren't very protective, even if you're talking about 1 of their boxes and not a bubble envelope. It sure wouldn't be a good thing for any of your bottles to arrive broken.

Already done! I’ve also asked him to tape the tops to the bottles with packing tape. Fortunately even 18 of the bottles will fit without issue standing upright - and I’ve asked him to tape the ever loving #%^* out if it. :)

Thanks again

Hey all. Mishap today and dropped my p3 kabuki. Glass cracked. Does anyone know the exact dimensions of that tank? I could have absolutely sworn I found some on fasttech and bought a five pack but I just don’t see them anywhere in my stash. £15 for the glass here seems really excessive

Thanks for any advice. Did some googling but don’t see the result sadly!

Darn, not good...

Did find this, for about half what you found... and they are in the UK :)

Kabuki Replacement Glass

Thanks for that. £11 shipped isn’t bad I suppose.

I’m trying those mesh coils now which at very very first blush seem good for a low power low cloud restricted lung. Not sure on MTL, I loaded the wrong juice. Doh. I’m using it in the naughty 2.

It’s a decent vape for the odd time I want to do more than mtl. It’s like the tootle puffing of lung hits lol. I need to close the air down with a stronger eliquid and see if it will work. My gut says it will be too low vapour / hot to work for mtl. We will see.

Honestly get it from England. You will be FAR more likely to actually get it before the custom's hammer falls everyone hates FT RIGHT NOW EVERYONE ALMOST.

I want some 3 dollar topfill doggy tanks from FT and I REFUSE. Too bad, bottom fill doggies you are my thing right now.

    Although it is a bit more of an inconvenience to fill, I have become to like more (?) my bottom fill doggie style doggie, mostly because I like the no 'bells and whistles' appearance of the tank.

    Customs hammer dropping? You mean due to brexit? An end it meant on how long fasttech is taking?

    Update on The mesh nautilus coil- probably the best flavour od any nautilus coil for me (the Clapton is decent but dies so fast) - it doesn’t work well in the nautilus 2 as it needs a bit more power and air to work. It does work well and is extremely versatile in the triton mini 2 - which for me has been aspires best tank (though I don’t have the new taifun collaboration tank).

    I’ll speak to longevity when I can but I’m on tank 3. Typically for me nautilus coils don’t last long at all.

    ——-

    For our USA cousins I thought I’d post this photo - it’s at a major underground station in the U.K. - and the shop is divided into beginner / intermediate / advanced. Just to show the general mentality (though plenty of non smokers/capers non about vape exhale) ignore the cbd stuff. It’s an unfortunate link here and while it can be effective most of the stuff is snake oil.

    My friend is also dropping in some 250mg nic base into my order. I’m a little nervous that’s going to be a problem (if the label is left on) despite TPD only applying to businesses (though many don’t realise they can import legally via third party friends etc)

    Just a little update on the .7 mesh nautilus coils. Flavour is pretty lacking. They seem to last a fair bit longer than the triton mini or typical bvc coils.


    Aspire made a good tasting coil but I think they just went too small - not enough cotton. They just don’t last. I get like 10ml out of a bvc cool before it dies. Not good enough so the kabuki is once again going on the shelf. No desire to go through 2 packs of coils in a bit over two weeks.

    They may just be drying out on you. 10ml is absurdly low. I get MUCH more than that...

    If it's been sitting for a bit, hold it right-side up and loosen & tighten the base before you vape it. You'll see bubbles rise.

    That will flood the coil with juice. IF the coil's still good, that will solve your problem. If it's truly going bad though, it won't.

    It may be worth a shot. :)

    I’ve had this problem across many coils and many years. I’ve adjusted power. I’ve slowed down vaping. I’ve changed viscosity. I am however also a super taster. Which could be why I’m saying could die fast. What is tolerable to others just may not be to me. I change cotton on my rba regularly as a result. Maybe it’s that. I will try to pop some air and I’ll try to refill earlier. See if that gets me more. But yah. 10ml was actually good for this one. It’s usually more like 8.

    Love that mesh coil super longevity and best MTL mesh coil on the market. The fact it's perpetually sold out makes me think others agree, so IDK. DPLongo does seem to have some good ideas sometimes.

    Sold out? I didn’t have any problems getting them. The longevity does seem good but the flavour for mtl seems it’s muted to me. I’m running them in two different setups right now - kabuki and triton mini. Maybe it works better with the new nautilus or some other tank? Maybe it’s the type of juice I use -light semi sweet very often. Somewhat complex too. Not simple Flavours.

    When I put 3mg into the triton mini and open it up / boost power for dl I find it very good. More flavourful than the full size regular coils in the triton with the benefit of not blowing through juice. Maybe I got the wrong coil- we’re talking about the .7 mesh (registers as .8 on both my devices) made for the nautilus mini compatible tanks right? What kind of power levels are you running the mesh ?

    Edit - I just opened the air a bit on the kabuki to compensate for 3 more watts and it is kore flavourful now. I have a feeling I’m just ot running this hot enough (too hot for me for mrl) or maybe I just need to break this new one in more.

    Edit 2 I just really cranked the power (19w) in the triton mini with the older coil and it is much much better)
    —-


    My time with aspire coils both big and small has been frustrating. I’ve owned three big dl tanks and at least 6 mini coil tanks and across both lines I find their coil longevity to be some of the worst in the industry. Of the coils made for the mini I had the best luck I think with the Clapton triton mini coils. Which seem to be getting harder to find now. I may try them one more time. The 1.2 is the most recent one that was just awful for longevity. For comparison the vape fly Nicolas coils last me weeks at a time - I consume about 4ml a day.

    I do notice that in the U.K. far more juice is 50/50 and that seemed to Make a big difference with the 1.8 Bvc was using. Maybe I’ll try that again instead of the Clapton 1.8.

    Thanks both for your feedback and help.
