Tis very nice :)
 
Anybody recommend a good dripper? Just started making my own juice and looking for a rebuildable dripper to test recipes before I make a bigger batch.

Depends if you mean good/cheap, good/value or good/performance as they don't always come hand in hand.

At a starter level:
IGO series (I have the W) is very good, dual coil-able and easy to set up different types of wick&coil combos. Around a tenner plus postage in the UK, or £4ish and a forever from China...

Wherever you buy it from, be sure it's the version with holes in the coil posts and airholes on both sides of the topcap. Fasttech.com version has neither post holes nor 2 airholes. Either version, you'll want to drill the airholes to at least 1.5mm.

Or look over at the UKVapers forum classifieds for some real bargains - (often the Fasttech stock that someone else has waited for) the airholes are usually already drilled out (anything over 2mm each and you're sacrificing flavour and warmth for cloud production), plus you'll usually get spares and/or wick & wire to get started (from some of the nicer members).

As for coiling methods - how many Youtube videos can you watch before you Zombie out? I'm a huge advocate of the dual microcoil and cotton brigade (and actually offer a Microcoiling Kit that's pretty good value) - for warmth, flavour and ease of changing flavours, it's simply a case of whipping out the existing cotton, cleaning the remaining juice from the drip well and dry burning the coils - then allow to cool and rewick with fresh cotton, before priming with the new flavour.
 
The FT Trident clone is an excellent dripper, superb quality, dual coil capable, has holes in the posts too. It also has two air holes, these only line up with one set up holes in the top cap, but you can turn it such that you get the desired airflow over both coils.

Cost $16 but took an age to arrive
 
Just did a 1.2ohm coil on my kfl, got some peach from scopes and wow unbelievable taste and throat hit. Been using it on my paps x and its just absolutely mind blowing, looks like another juice has been added to my collection from scope. I also got a 10ml bottle of apple tart so will try that out tomo at some point but so far raspberry and peach are really hitting the spot for me.

Just waiting on my v3 upgrade kit for my spheroid then ill be micro coiling that and giving that a go to see if its any good.

How long did that take? Thinking of buying all my stuff from Fastech from now on, because it is ridiculously cheaper, shame about the 3 week delivery / sometimes does not turn up...
 
Managed to flick some vanilla custard into my eye this morning while removing a bottle cap. It stings like a bugger so I don't recommend it.
 
I'm currently using Nicolites e-cigarettes. My brother works as a rep for them and gave me some free samples. I'm using a high nicotine one. It's good but I'm still craving a real roll up. Part of that is the ritual of roilling it, the taste and the smell. But I'm trying to make the break and get away from real cigarettes for all the obvious reasons. He's going to be getting the liquid ones in a couple of weeks which I want to try. Are they better than the e-cigarettes? Anyone else here changed from roll up tobacco to e-cigs? I'm wondering if they got used to it and stopped missing real tobacco.
 
A decent e-cig will stop the craving immediately. The problem with Nicolites and the like are that they look like cigarettes so there is no way they can provide the power for a decent vape and I expect the coils are rubbish.

Just get a decent proper starter kit and be converted.
 
Nicolites got me off cigarettes but only the first step, I quickly moved up to an EVOD starter kit which is 10x better.

I got this one but there's others at similar money (and similar style) that others may recommend.

I should have arriving tomorrow some Aspire BDCs, which everyone seems to be recommending at the moment (they're the clearomisers which is the top part of the ones you see in that kit).

I'll let you know what I think, I'm getting them to use when I go on holiday in January because I don't want to have all the chargers and batteries and rebuildable whatnots on holiday, I just want to fill 'em up and use them which is what the EVODs and stuff are great for.

Once I got my EVODs I didn't miss cigarettes very much for a week or two. Now I don't miss them at all.

I didn't miss them enough to go back though even in the first couple of weeks with the Nicolites - I had one after an argument with someone and it just made me feel wretched so I didn't smoke any more.
 
So I am ready to make my next big purchase on a battery holder and a metal thing that burns juice.

To be honest I might just get a flipping spheroid..... not to expensive like my previous mods either.

You cant get much better then a Kayfun/Rose/Kraken etc or a dripper I dont honestly know what to buy anymore lol.

Ive been vaping all sorts of flavours too lol.


Ufff Ive been sucked back in!!!

Without me trawling through a very long thread, can you recommend me a decent starter kit and what it consists of? When you say a decent e-cig stops the craving immediately (which is what I need!) do you mean because the nicotine hit is much stronger?
