I'm also on the market for an RBA with similar requirements for easy of living with. Currently using drippers exclusively (igo L and Trident clone) but they are no good for long drives or out and about. Trouble for me is I want something no bigger than the Trident tbh

That one looks decent in UK for £25, everything else is expensive in the UK except that and the RSST. Looks nice and small as well.

Received your email NirK. Will try to post asap, wasn't aware of your other battery woes!

e: Ta for the link above, just watched the Toddsreview video on it, looks good!

Here it is next to stuff the average vapist might have kicking about...

Kanger EVOD on a 650mah battery
VAMO V5 in a 18350 mode (with an iClear 30 on it)
MVP2
2 x 18650 battery box

So you can see it's fractionally shorter, like 2mm, than the Vamo in 18350 - the iClear 30b is a tiny bit taller than the iClear 30. Basically it's practically the same height and an 18350 is going to get you nowhere near the battery life of the MVP.

I've got a week's snowboarding holiday coming up on the 4th so that should be a good test of the MVP and the iClear 30b. I'll let you know what I think

The MVP v2 is rather good

I had the stiff button issue with mine but it eased up after a couple of weeks. Seems like on some units, they overcompensated for the wobbly button that affected a lot of the v1s.

Although I like it, i don't use it as much now as i've fallen in love with the VTR and now the notmesis/kflike combo.

Well, I'm officially stunned.

Placed my order for a SOPHIA with House of Mods last night at about 9.30pm, and circa 20 minutes ago one of the guys turned up at my door with the package for me.

Guess it helps being situated near to them!

Chuffed to bits with it... looks lovely with the slim tank, remaining small enough that it likely wouldn't even look out of place on an Ego style battery. It does look tiny on top of my Lavatube, though, so will still be aiming to grab a S&P Tank to chuck it in further down the line.

Got a couple of little juice samplers in there too: "Caramel and Cream" and "Puros". Chuffing away on the Puros at the minute... even at 6mg it feels like strong stuff. Definitely saving the rest for boozing tomorrow night!

Might try popping it in my AGR+ tank when I've drained this slim one, but I don't think the adjustable liquid flow slit is high enough for that tank, as the base is pretty chunky considering the locking ring at the bottom.

In case anyone is unfamiliar with the atty:

Yeh thanks a lot, I am stuck with one vision spinner battery which seems to spend more time on the charger than in my hand. So that will be nice not to have to wait 3-4 hours while it is charging and I want some nicotine! I bought one off someone on ebay and it has not turned up for 10 days so that is annoying, now he's not replying when I ask for a refund!

Anyone interested in DIY liquids I recommend getting some concentrates and PG / VG from Flavourart.co.uk... 5 x 4ml concentrate samples for £10 and PG/VG is £1.80 for 100ml.

As well as that they also do a 'fantastic five' which is 5 x 10ml concentrates of your choice. Costs £15 + £1.60 delivery so if you already like or know the flavours that you want, it's good value. They're very fast at shipping stuff too. I've always got my deliveries from them the next working day.

W!ll · 30 Dec 2013 at 19:55

Right then just about to push the button on a Hcigar Kraken Clone and am also after a bottom coil RBA have been looking at the Taifun GT Clone or the Fogger V3, does anyone have any input on these or any other recommendations? Will be my first RBAs but I'm always a tinkerer.

Final little bit I'm also after a stubby drip tip, vicious ant do some really nice ones but £15 is rather on the excessive side, does anyone else know of any other nice ones out there? Been browsing through the stores and cannot find anything similar.

Quick poll from the BMJ - takes a few seconds.

Should other places follow New York's lead and ban e-cigarettes from public places?

Look down the left hand side and vote ('no' of course!)

Merlin5 · 31 Dec 2013 at 04:30

Guys, I'm kind of done with these Dekang and Hangsen flavours. Had about 1 to 1.5ml from each of 6 out of my 8 bottles, not gonna bother at all with one other, and haven't tried the banana yet. Apart from the banana which I'm steeping and will probably not try till I finally get a glass tank, I'm not really enjoying any of these liquids. I was going to try some joose juice samplers as they're cheap enough but I'm now thinking of buying a 5 x 10ml sample pack for £19.99 plus whatever their postage is from Alchemists Cupboard as I believe they're very good. Should I forget joose juice and just buy from AC, or are joose juice as good? At £4.50, I imagine AC are quite superior?

d_brennen · 31 Dec 2013 at 10:04

Taste is highly subjective. I'd say buy the Joose Juice samples (they need a week to steep remember) and the other stuff. There's quite a few Joose Juice flavours I enjoy

stifler · 31 Dec 2013 at 11:01

Joose juice are very good, dont be put off by the price.

I've just got my order from 8bit vape, i made my own rhubarb and custard which smells awesome, i also ordered their pre-mixed super space pirate which again smells great but i forgot to change the nic level to 18mg, so i've got 0mg

Some Juicejoose are quite nice.. Some are not... I find the "soft mint" "key lime" and "caramel blend" are good for the money. Not tried alchemists cupboard but you could try "Vaplogy.co.uk" if you want some more expensive liquids. DIY is the way forward TBH.

Merlin5 · 31 Dec 2013 at 12:06

Alright, I'll order some joose juices when they reopen. Vapology's peach melba looks tempting. About DIY, I know that it involves various ingredients and tools. Presumably though I could also just get an empty bottle and pour any combination of my existing 18 and 24mg dekang and hangsen liquids together and shake?

Best plan would be to pour all your Dekang and hangsen liquids in a big bottle.... Then proceed to throw it in the bin

DIY will cost you about £35 for a load of nicotine, PG/VG and syringes bottles etc. Then you will have to pay for flavourings, but for about £50 you should be good for about 500ml liquid which would cost about £250 pre-made.

Yep, you're not kidding. They're going in the bin and I'm starting again. I've just started vaping the banana. I have no idea what they were thinking when they made this. Yes it tastes of banana, but there's not even a hint of sweetness, it's just like you would imagine banana flavoured soap to taste. Absolute crap! I'll get into DIY soon, but I'll first try something from joosejuice soon as they reopen after friday.

Whatever you do, don't rush into the Joose Juice, it will be disappointing. It is made to order most of the time so needs to steep

e: Merlin, have you tried Snake Oil? Tis amazing. I'm imposing a break on it myself so I don't over do it. You can email the site owner (sure someone has his email handy, I'm out and about) and he'll send you 10ml for 90p postage

Merlin I should hopefully have some of Mrs Lords juices waiting for me when i move back to Uni tomorrow, I'll let you know what they are like as well. 8bit juice someone posted earlier looked interesting too, was tempted to try and develop a vanilla coke recipe...

I bought some Sarsaparilla from there and although it was very nice it clogged my coils up with gunk and I ended up having to replace them after a couple of days, a shame because it was tasty. Anyone else experienced this?

Ah yes, I think I've seen Mrs Lords juices mentioned here. Yes, that would be great to hear your opinions on them.

Hey d_brennen yep, I have heard of that and the flavour description sounds intriguing. Wow, I'm definitely emailing him then, can't say no to 10ml for 90p!

What do I say to him though to qualify for this virtual freebie? The email on the contact page is to a guy called Simon, and their email is
[email protected], so I guess that'll get to him.

Ah, I see they only sell 30ml bottles and up. I'll just ask him for a 10ml sample bottle then and he'll hopefully do it like you said.

Ok, email sent!
