Solid choices all-round. The iclear 30s are quite decent, but you may find yourself choosing something else later down the line. You could get the svd by itself for a fair bit less and buy a different atomiser like the protank or pretty much anything else if you wanted.

Quick heads-up: that case will be really handy for carrying your juice, spare attys and batteries around (what I use mine for), but it won't fit your SVD. Also, you'll want that easily accessible at all times anyway ;)

2nd heads-up for everyone else: legit Smoktech RSST now on Fasttech for £16. I may have to pick up a second one for experimenting (nothing worse than breaking a good wick/coil setup and finding the new one isn't as good right?)

Still bloody waiting for my SVD :( I knew it would take ages, but the waiting is tough!

Only reason I went for this option is it had the spare heads, and two tanks and seemed okay for the price. If you have a better solution for the same price then please suggest ahead :)

Bugger I was hoping it could fit the SVD in if the battery and atty were seperated :'(

Damn you're still waiting on it, the wait must be killing you by now!
 
devious - you made a good choice going for the full SVD kit. You'll get the extra battery tube which makes the SVD look a bit better when using it in 18650 mode. Also IMO the iclear30s are very good. I've used the same three heads in three iclear30s for around 2 months now and they're still perfectly usable. A lot of people don't like the tight draw but there are a few simple tweaks you can do to improve it. Also the SVD will give you better airflow than something like a Vamo as it has a couple of small holes in the top cap.

As for the batteries, I'd recommend Efest or AW for 18350s. The 18650 batteries you've chosen are good but if you're only using them for a protected mod like the SVD, you may want to look at getting higher capacity batteries. I went half way and chose these hybrids which will also be fine for mech mods due to their high Amp rating:

I found the Efest 18350s cheapest here. Took about 2 weeks to get them but a great price:

Also while you're at it, place a couple of battery cases in your basket. Good for organising and carrying batteries with you:

http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...afire-2-x-18650-4-x-cr123a-battery-protective

They will hold 2 x 18650 batteries or 4 x 18350 batteries.

I can't comment much on your choice of liquid apart from the fact that Dekang and those flavours are not for everyone and if you don't like any or all of them, you'll be sitting there with nearly full bottles of liquid that you won't use.

AFAIK, pineapple may crack a plastic/polycarb tank so careful with that one.

Cheers for the other additions hamster I'll make sure I grab those.
I still feel like I'm missing something though. I tend to smoke about 6 rollies a day now (golden virginia) I think the 6mg should cut it okay. When I originally had my cheapy ego from the market I was using their e liquids which are from: http://www.liquid-web.com/products.php?CateId=10

These tasted nice but would occasionally be a bit harsh on the throat and made my teeth feel extremely sensitive/sugary and noticed I had a bit of a cough from it. I was also using 12mg and would occasionally get a bit "high".

Was hoping the dekangs would do me well and get some GVC in the next couple of months in a 50 50 mix which will be a while as I'll have 200ml of liquid or so to burn through as well as the 30/40ml stuff I just got from apollo for £3/£4 on that offer (thank god for having girlfriends who live at a different address)

I prefer to have a liquid that's low in strength so i can cjhain vape, rather than having one thats too high and feeling all spacy when I want to vape more. Start with 6mg, and you can always go up if that doesn't cut it.

Also, the case is still handy. I chuck it in the door pocket of my car or a pouch in my backpack when I'm heading out so I always have spare batts and juice in close proximity. Keeps it all in one place and prevents spills.

I used to smoke about 6 rollies a day and started on 6mg. Did initially found it a bit weak with no throat hit. Ordered some 12mg and just found it way too strong, was getting nice overdose a few vapes. Gone back to 6mg and now jist chain vape it a bit more to get my fix :D

I got about 200mls of differnet Hangsen juice and I don't really like any of them. They all seems to have this after taste that I don't like. I just use them as primer juices and use Vaping King's juices/GVC as my daliy vape.
 
Dekang certainly isn't for everyone, I quite like it though. Their flavours are often not quite right (or anything like right) but it's whether you like the taste that's important. For example, I'm vaping Dekang hazelnut right now. It's definitely nutty but for a day or so I couldn't pin the flavour down. It tastes exactly like peanut shells with a peanut oil aftertaste. If they'd just called it peanut flavour to begin with... :D Some are truly dreadful (all of their tobacco bar RY4), and iirc pineapple CAN crack polycarbonate tubes, it really depends upon how they derived the flavour. Often juices like this cloud the tube rather than break
 
I believe that one Dekang won't necessarily be the same as another. If they're anything like Hangsen, juice makers use the manufacturer's base in their desired flavour strength together with their own constituents to mix a juice yet can still label it as the brand.

Also IMO, having a juice which clouds a tank is just as bad as one that cracks it. To cloud a tank, some sort of chemical reaction is taking place between the liquid and the plastic. Goodness knows what you're breathing in when that happens.
 
Wouldn't want to be inhaling unknown chemicals in unknown quantities from suppliers who aren't regulated /runs off to order more Chinese eliquid :D

I know what you mean though. I've yet to hit a juice that does anything funky to tubes I have to say
 
Been looking around the interwebs and I've seen various parts for vaping, I have to say, the guys with money to burn can have some fantastic looking toys, love the look of the Kayfun Lite. I am using a basic e-Go + CE4. When I get a new job or sell some random things, I may invest in a proper kit like you guys.

Anyway, regarding flavors, I see you guys keep talking about a 'GVC' what is this?

Grants vanilla custard is the proper name for it. Good luck trying to track some down, it's a very popular demand juice..
 
I'm keeping my eye for GVC to go live on his site soon....
Anyone recommend any nice large quantities of juice from fasttech that wont destroy the new atty/tank seeing as a few of you have just mentioned how dekang are a bit hit and miss!

Some of the Liqua juices are pretty good. They are definitely genuine, supplied unadulterated by the manufacturer. The Liqua flavours I like most are:

Citrus Mix - sort of tangerine/mandarin flavour
Berry Mix - mixed berry flavour
Cola - pretty good, a bit like those non-fizzy cola bottles
Mints (my favourite Liqua - note - Mints, not menthol) - tastes like softmints/garden mint

Strawberry flavour and apple flavour are quite good too. Apple is like a granny smith/apple juice and strawberry is a sweet candy strawberry flavour but not as artificial tasting as Hangsen strawberry.

None of the above have done any damage to any of my tanks.

Note - everyone has a different palate for flavours!!

houseofliquid are worth checking out. Virginia prime is probably the best tasting tobacco flavour I've ever had and their organic coffee is yummy.
it IS expensive but it's infinitely better than than cheapo dekang crap.
 
What do you think of this kit Kanger Evod Kit ?

I'm about to pull the trigger to purchase it but would like a second opinion. Seems a pretty good kit and despite that the website looks awful :p seems to be a good seller.

Nothing wrong with that kit, but for a couple of quid more, you could put a very similar kit together yourself, but choose 900mAh Egos (Vision brand is as good as Kanger, higher mAh gives you more time between recharging), 2x Evods, Proper UK Mains Charger (no need for EU/UK adaptor) and USB lead, plus spare Evod heads (can get the lower resistance 1.8ohm for the same price, should give a better hit) from http://www.vapeland.co.uk/ego-batteries-11-c.asp
Spend over £40 and get free delivery too...

I've bought from Vapeland before - excellent service and the owner is a knowledgeable vaper. :)
