Nirk moved from nic gum to vaping so it is unlikely it is 'toxins'. I don't know where people are getting vaping is 100% safe, we just don't know that and will not for 10-20 years. What we do know is that is is much better than smoking. At least that is what the doctors and professors that I've read are saying.

Mmm I think that if you are vaping through a large amount of liquid that high VG liquid may be a bad idea. I do not have any evidence for this other than my experience and what I have read about VG. Firstly it is oily and coats your insides, secondly it can produce some nasty things when burnt at very high temps, although this probably not apply at the temps in vaping.

Since smoking high VG it has made my lungs hurt and messed up my throat, also because it is not antibacterial like PG and it coats your tongue, this makes it more likely for you to catch a virus or similar... Which is what seems to have happened to me... Usually I get ill maybe once every 5 years.... Hardly at all.... Think I will stick to 70/30 or similar from now on and keep to <3ml a day.
 
It's quite possible you just have a bug NirK. I had it a couple of weeks ago, very sore throat, temperature and headache. Vaping didn't really help the throat tbh, so I did a lot less of it. Guess what? My wife, my daughter, mother in law, father in law, several colleagues and numerous people I saw on the tube also had similar symptoms...

I think it is definitely related to vaping too much, also my lifestyle over the last few weeks prob knackared out my immune system, usually I NEVER get ill... I cannot remember the last time I was ill from a virus / cold etc.

I do not think vaping is particularily bad for you if you keep it to around 3ml a day, but vaping 8ml a day for weeks I do not think is a good idea. After feeling really ill the last few days I did some reading about vaping safety.

It seems that PG is definitely safer and better tested than VG and some flavours can be quite dangerous when vaped... Also some flavours should be avoided... Anyway just posting what I read people might find it interesting.

Dont forget to sign this petition...

7,119 signers in 3 days lol.... If the EU decide to ban vaping then this will kick up a massive **** storm!

Joose Juice's apple has a bit of a sour/tangy taste to it.

I quite like it mixed with their menthol. It's quite sweet though.

thanks, I had some grapes whillst vaping yesterday and just had a craving for a sweet tangy grape vape :D

does anyone else find jester juice in a dripper or genesis can taste a bit woolly? In the kayfun I don't get any weirdness. :confused:
 
Already signed, and have shared on fb as well. I can't believe after overturning the original draft they came back with something worse.

It is laughable really... The claims they make... "it encourages the hand movements of smoking"... "introduces children to smoking" etc. What about actual smoking? Ah yes this gives 2% a year of the governments tax revenue.... Highly doubt that this has anything to do with it...

Definately they are just worried about introducing people to the "hand movements of smoking" LOL :mad:... What about eating as well... Why don't they ban that.... That has "the hand movements of smoking" as well (movement of hand from a undisclosed location to mouth and repeating this motion).

Well i dont normally do clones, but my girlfriend has treated me to something quite nice as she saw me looking at them a few days ago, so here it is, a kato hammer clone, its very nice but im torn between using it or keeping it as a display piece due to it being a clone.

click thumbs for bigger pictures

 
I am pretty happy with my setup... You may sneer at it compared to these high end mods but I am a person who cannot stand tacky things and to me this looks nice and feels very well made... works well and cost only £35...

Very nice mate, not my cup of tea but each to their own.

Whatever works for you is what you should stick with. Looking forward to getting my GP Spheroid on monday, already arrived in the UK this morning. Will be paired with my Paps x mod.
 
@NirK, looks fine to me, unsure about the entire top part as it looks a bit too long and thin to me but the tube looks absolutely fine.

Rightyo, 6 weeks or so later my Kayfun 3.1 clone has arrived, I'm not too sure about it, it arrived with a slight bit of damage on the bottom but it's so tiny I can overlook it. I've finally set up a coil on it at 2 ohms and vaping away with the adjustable screw fully turned inside the unit and it's so airy compared to the KFL.

Scratch that an ignore everything above, I just waited 5 minutes after several noisey gurgley airy vapes and it's behaving itself now and vaping fine.

Right well comparing this to the KFL I've got to say....The KFL is getting sold!
The threading is a tiny bit funny on the inside chamber and only works one way up and the metal quality is slightly lower than that of the KFL but the overall threading and performance is exactly the same. No hole at the bottom either so no leaking which is a major plus.

The only downsides to this compared to the real thing are the following:
* lower quality metal used
* the deck is of lower quality and needs to tightened/adjusted to start with
* the standard tank is frosted instead of clear like the KFL
* Not a real Svoemestro product

positves
* same performance as a KFL
* doesn't leak out of airhole when undoing the top chamber like the KFL does
* doesn't leak out of bottom like KFL does (been rectified with the introduction of KFL+)
* cheaper than a KFL
* comes with a coil in the pack, a 510 adapter and a metal tank section

So overall, pay 17 pounds for a clone 3.1 or buy the real thing for 100 pounds, the only difference, it's not genuine and the metal quality is slightly lower and has a more shiny finish to it.
 
Protank 2 / mini users.... I found some ways to make the flavour better on them....

1) Cover one of the airholes.
2) Replace the metal drip tip with a plastic one.
3) Turn the plastic cap on the atomiser around and remove 1 flavour wick.
4) Use a low voltage
5) Recoil the wick with cotton (not tried this yet).

Result = Much more flavour than the standard protank.
 
Just rewicked my KFL with a 1.2ohm coil with cotton, bunged in some kings custard into the KFL, whacked it onto my paps x and god damn what a hit...in fact its a bit too much of a throat hit for my liking lol. Flavour wise, it isnt too bad...a few pulls to get it going and its chugging away like a steam train on steroids lol.

received my first dripper today, igo l only about a tenner. makes for a nice pocket sized setup.

Where I've found myself stuck indoors the past week, I've been using my dual nanocoiled Igo-W (1.3ohm overall) - it's so tasty, reliable and easy to whip out and change the cotton to switch flavours.
My AGA-T2's rubber insulator on the +ve post's top has severed - shorting out the 1.7 ohm microcoil and burning through the cotton wrapped mesh wick;
My attempt at a homemade RSST hybrid kit for the Sigelei 19b has been of some success, but the SS rope wick setup keeps causing the resistance to fluctuate between 1.2 & 4.7 ohms. And the JB Steamworks Chamber Reducer causes major juice leakage...
My AGA-TD I've turned into an Auto-feeding Dripper needs recoiling and the cotton replacing, which requires complete deconstruction to do...

So I'm left with a dripper & the Aspire BDC at the moment - but I'm still vaping and enjoying what I can actually use.
Just need an evening to recoil everything else so I can have more choice in what juices I vape....

Still rolling along though :D

And which Guage wire did you use Yas? ;)
Click to expand...

Used 32awg as I have far too much of it...did a 2 wrap on a m3 screw lol. Have changed it for a 1.8ohm coil as the one I did earlier was a bit too much for me

Finally got my KFL to stop leaking juice fromthe fill screw, wrapped it up in pfte tape and job done.
