I find it strange that it's necessary to build the coil above the cup, considering the pre-built coils are right in the middle of it. Such a nightmare to drop a coil in when you aren't just resting your screwdriver/nail/whatever across the cup slots. I'll take a pic shortly and show you how mine currently is.

Just flush the top of the coil with the top of the cup. Its easier than it sounds. I have been experimenting with using a flavour wick poked below the coil in the gap with limited success :)

I seem to break a ceramic every time I recoil which is really annoying. Still when you get it right there really is no comparison with this little beasty - vapour so thick you can literally choke on it :o

Yep! In fact, the wife banned me from using it in the car when she's driving, hahahaha. :D Even when I try to stealth, I still end up pumping out a cloud.

Even when it's not working exactly as I'd like, I still prefer it over anything I've tried so far so I just put up with the niggles.

I did shove a new wick in earlier and take a few photos, but I'm still in the same situation, having to unscrew the neck almost all the way so a few bubbles release (but without going TOO far and flooding), then toot away until I think it might be going dry, and repeat.

If your new coil is level with the top of the cup, then use much less cotton. It only needs a very small amount! Too much and as it wicks the cotton expands between the cup and the sophia and strangles the wick. TBH I only get it right about 20% of the time! If you use a 1.5mm drill bit/screwdriver it will jam in the cup slots so you can set it where you need it.

Not at all mate, they're regarded as one of the best batteries. Everyone just seems to be getting the Efest's for the Hana clones that're forthcoming :p

Thank god lol had me searching frantically for anything wrong lol, I bought the first 2 for nemesis then decided to buy more for the hana clone to which I realised it takes 1 not 2 lol oh well at least I'll have enough.

On the subject of batteries....

http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/Vaping-Spares/Li-Ion-Batteries/Efest-IMR-Batteries.Html?cPath=7_95

I've got a couple of them, had them for about a year now and they don't seem to hold a charge much anymore, they drop to 3.5 almost instantly...!

The AW IMR's that I've also got are fine but I could do with a few more 18350's, I'm happy to get more of them as they served me well, but just looking at other stuff, Torchy etc, before I buy.

Will be used in a Provari Mini and Nemesis clone, and occasionally a Vamo v5 but that usually stays in 18650 mode at home.

All I really know about batteries is that the Provari Mini apparently needs button tops. Other than that I dont know much else, as in whats good, bad etc.

Whats a good buy then? :)

Basically anything from Torchy is suitable. His own batteries are just good batteries re-branded, and cheaper. And does a discount if you buy through ukvapers.
