Where abouts do you get your juices?

Chocolate - Vapeland
Apple Pie/Banana Nut Bread - Joose Juice
Vanilla Ice Cream - myepack (Dekang - wouldn't recommend)
Custard - ABC from Chefsvapour

The custard is 10 days steeped in so far but couldn't resist, and the flavour is fantastic. Looking forward to finishing the other 20ml at 2 weeks steeped.

My entire bedroom stinks of custard as a result :p

I have a mini protank 2. Easy to take apart, change coils, clean. I highly recommend. Im not into doing the whole making my own coils, replacement coils are like a pound each.

No idea about the juice, but for the eGo900 something like a Protank Mini would be ideal, I think.

Excellent, thanks! I will get one ordered :D

e: Where do you guys get them from, the only supplier I know (ecigwizard) doesn't stock the mini's
 
I'd like to try some of scopes juice but cant get site to load on either chrome or IE.

So I've been using http://www.yaeliq.com/ so far I've tried banana split which is by far better than any uk made juice I've tried, I'm waiting for another banana split, crème brulee and saber blood.

Here you go, 8 quids. Don't get the Protank 3, get the Protank 2. Don't forget a pack of replacement heads, and you'll need a battery - recommend the Vision Spinner to get you started.

The mini protank 2's are great recoiled with your own microcoil. It's a lot easier than you may think also.

I havent researched steeping much, does it make a lot of difference?

I normally get juices from myshishapen, ukecigcabin. Never let them steep tbh.

Am i missing out?

Not every company sends their juices out unsteeped.

I've needed to steep for decent flavour from the following companies;
- Dark Star
- Joose Juice
- Chef's Vapour

Not needed to steep for a decent flavour with;
- Vapeland
- myepack

I'd recommend trying it, as it can certainly make a difference! Chef's vapour in particular.
Have just bought 100ml of yaeliq citrus plasma 9mg through UKVT. Hoping it's nice!
 
So in the time between my last post and this one I have rebuilt a PT2 head with microcoil and cotton, taken photos of each step, resized them, uploaded them and typed this small tutorial. Anyone would think I didn't have anything better to do...:

Protank 2 recoil with cotton Part 1:
1. Heres the head well past its bedtime...

2. Take the rubber sealing ring off the top...

3. Using a pair of pliers, pull the chimney off...

4. Pull the little pin out of the bottom using your nails…

5. Pull the rubber grommet out of the bottom…

6. This releases the old coil, pull it out the top using a pair of tweezers..

7. Make sure you have something that fits in the slot – here I have a 1.8mm watchmakers screwdriver…

8. This is what you’ll need… Here I have some .3 Kanthal the driver and something to flame the wire – a lighter will do I’m using a chefs flamethingy I got from the hardware store for about 8 quid, but a basic cigarette lighter will do the job – if a bit slower. Flame the wire – a lot – until it glows red, this takes the tension out of the wire and burns off any crud…

Protank 2 recoil with cotton part 2
9. Start by trapping a loose end between the driver and your thumb near the bottom of the handle…

10. Twist and twist and twist – about 9 turns – try to do it neatly at this stage don’t rush and then grab the tails and pull them down to tighten the coil – this means you will not get any hot spots. Keep the tension on by pinching the wires like this…

11. Whilst still pinching the wires to keep the tension, slide the coil down to the base and compress it together… It’s not easy doing this with one hand and a camera in the other…

12. Slide the coil back up the screwdriver and off, keeping the tension and then grab it in a pair of pliers taking time to make sure it is nice and snug and level. Then flame it – a lot – until it glows red then let it cool for about 2 minutes. Release the pliers – if it looks like it has come apart a bit, put it back in and flame again, and again until it holds its shape.

13. You should end up with this – nice and tight coils…

14. Slide it back on the screwdriver and lay it in the slot…

15. Making sure the screwdriver is well beded in the slot, grab one of the legs and pull it upwards to nip it off.

16. Put the other leg through the insulator and push it all the way in making sure it’s seated…

17. Bend the other leg down..

18. Pop the little metal plug back in the end.

19. Snip the extra wires off with a pair of nail clippers. Remove the screwdriver and have a look at your coil. If needs be, use a pair of tweezers to grab it and make sure its centered and remains level with the slots.

20. Grab a piece of cotton (Asda Little Angels cotton wool pleat works great without any washing or boiling or anything) and pull a bit off trying to make sure its even and the threads are kinda all going in the same direction. Give it a twist at one end…

21. Push it through the coil, grab the other end with the tweezers and pull it through giving it a little twist to help it on its way. You want to be able to grab both ends and for the cotton to easily slide back and forth without catching the coil.

22. Push the chimney back on – notice I have not pushed it all the way down – you don’t want it touching the coil or it will short. Just make sure its straight on the head.

23. Push the little rubber sealing grommet back on…

24. Pop it into your Protank 2 base – this is a protank mini base. Cut the wick down so about 5-8mm is poking out either side – nail clippers or tweezers are good here

25. Tuck the cotton tails into the slots in the base in an S shape. Don’t cram them in, just lay them in.
That’s it! Saturate the cotton wicks with your juice, wait a minute then do it gain to make sure its is completely saturated. Fill your tank, screw it on and enjoy. This is not far off the quality of some of the best devices out there – and its cheap as chips.
 
GUYS THE FDA IS GOING TO **** US!

Watch this share it.

This will be bad for the US and everywhere else.

We need to stop worrying about our next sick build and or mech mod and focus on saving our ****ing community and the industry as a whole because soon we WONT have one.


I will find the details on the regulations and will post soon.
 
The FDA have no jurisdiction in our part of the world mate, if you want to get het up about something, you should see what the unelected European Parliament passed as legislation a few months ago.

They have basically issued an EU directive that bans all cartomisers/clearomisers etc as they are today (they must not be able to leak and cannot hold more than 1.5ml of juice and must give consistant delivery of nicotine), affectively banned all the juice manufacturers from making juice (or at least placed so many requirements that it will put all of them out of business except the ones that can afford the testing i.e. big tobacco companies), and pretty much bent over backward to protect the profits of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma whilst potentially condemning millions of european citizens (that means you) to death.

We'll have to see how this is implemented in the UK, but if you want to have a say click here: http://www.efvi.eu/

Oh believe me bro I was involved in all the campaigning against it.
Changes in the US will affect us in the UK because once it happens there it will worsen here.

Plust a lot of our custom mods and atties are US made and designed so is some of the juice.

So it really does matter.
