My New Sigelei 100 Watt Plus arrived yesterday, only difference from my mk2 is a floating 510 and a slight change in the case style, but I love it, such a monster and great with an RDA.
Also got some 32awg ni200 and built a single coil with it at .59ohms on my Magma Clone RDA, working like a dream but sure does kill a battery fast, though compared to the .06ohm coil, its an improvement...

One thing I wish my Segelei v3 would have is a floating 510. That little spinny copper/brass 510 connection inside is cheap and feels like an afterthought. Im forever adjusting it and with it being such a soft metal it wears away easily. Because its reverse threaded when you screw the atty out it screws the 510 further in

Cheers, will get some ordering done after Christmas, Do I need sweetener for banana too?

I would, a bottle will last ages, and its nice to be able to sweeten a juice if it needs it.
Also if you like Banana & Custard, once the VC is 3 - 4 weeks old, remove 9ml into another bottle and add 1ml of Banana.
Same works with Rhubarb

Its best after 4 weeks so i would make 50ml batches at a time, and if you like VC, i wouls make a 50ml batch every 2 weeks, that way as one batch is finished, the next batch is ready to vape

Looks I'll have to wait until new years at least for my custard mixes then

Was hoping for an xmas day toot on the homebrew, but patience is king.

Mind you, I did cheat with a few drips the other day. It's promising, but deffo needs a fair bit more time.

Vamo v7 arrived today. Not half bad, but not exactly anything to write home about either. Next to my very broken svd

Hey UKDTweak, does your plus make a noise like coil whine. Not loud but noticable once you hear it?

Uncle Petey · 23 Dec 2014 at 21:22

So, I got round to buildng the Orchid. Ended up with a 24g 0.25ohm build on there lol.
It's quite nice, I guess. Definitely better than the KFL and allows for a reasonable lung hit, though I'm too spoiled by the dripper tbh.

Gonna rebuild when I've stocked up on juice and aim for 0.5-0.8 or so with 28g as the atty can get a little warm when chain vaping and I'm wary of going higher than 30w as it stands.

Ended up putting a PMMA tank on there instead, as the glass tank's inner lip looked like it would restrict the juice channels by a fair bit.

You have to laugh at the PMMA 'heatsinks'

That's why I upgraded, the 510 was annoying my, most my atties fit without adjusting, bar my CLT, I had to adjust both the Sig and the CLT 510s to get them to marry up, but like you say, unscrew the atty slightly and screw back down and the 510 in the Sig would drop.

To be honest ive not noticed any noise from it so far, though not used it too much as ive been using my DNA40 and IPV V2 mostly with tanks.

NexusK · 24 Dec 2014 at 08:12

Made the mistake a couple of days ago and vaped some 24mg i had sitting from when i started and ended up having cravings for a proper smoke most of the day yesterday. Won't be doing that again!

Devrij · 24 Dec 2014 at 12:29

Verdict on the Vamo V7 after a day's use:
So far so good. I did try cranking it up to 20w on a 1.4ohm microcoil for lulz and while it didn't burn, it was a fairly harsh vape and dried my throat out fairly intensely! Back down to 11w for me. Also, the pic makes it look like the press fit parts aren't matched for colour, but in reality there is no difference so may just be the light.

One thing that is stupid is that the adjustable pin (which I specifically wanted to avoid issues with grommets cracking or springs melting) is not reverse threaded and is a very loose screw so I was driving along this morning with a "no atomiser" message until I could use a key to unscrew the pin a bit. The atty is now fairly tight down on it so it isn't going anywhere now, but it it isn't quite flush with the mod so more fiddling required to get it just right. Minor niggle though. Decent mod for next to nothing.

Wow this mint chocolate chip taste foul!

chris74 · 24 Dec 2014 at 15:16

I have never been a fan of the Vamo myself, purely from an aesthetics point of view. I can see why people make the step up from a 750/1100mah starter kit though.

Has anyone purchased from justvape247 before?.

Their prices seem pretty good and I quickly filled my basket with flavouring. However I did pause to consider buying their pre-mixed base (pg/vg/nic) but is it me? or is £20 quite a lot for what is only 100ml?

Gee · 24 Dec 2014 at 15:48

SX Mini arrived yesterday.

Looking forward to trying it out!

Lucky Bugger!, they are supposed to be very good.
Really fancying one myself but the other half would have had my testicles if i'd bought one before christmas.
Did you get it from Evolution?.

Happy Xmas vapers!

I always have a problem getting the top cap on straight with my Eh Pro KFL+. It's on straight now as I type this, but this picture shows you what I mean. I push the cap on and screw it down and it's not flush which can cause leaks. After fiddling for ages I can get it straight. Is it a thread problem or do I need to be very precise when first pushing it on before screwing it down?

KnightStalker · 24 Dec 2014 at 16:56

Thats a cross threaded issue, be very careful with the threads on the PMMA tank as they are stupidly fine, take it easy on the first few turns and if it doesnt seem to go straight back it off and try again, i suspect you need a new Tank section as the damage will have been done so might not seal correctly.

roman59 · 24 Dec 2014 at 17:03

Happy Christmas folks & thanks for all the help and advice you have given me over the last smoke free 8 months

Cheers all

NexusK · 24 Dec 2014 at 17:22

Mmm got some mixed berry from the local store today (their own mix) to break up the flavours i've been vaping constantly and it's tasty. Just a shame they charge a fiver per 10ml.

Hmm yea, thanks, I kind of suspected it's the thread. Is this because I bought a KFL+ clone, as the PMMA tank came with it? Would a genuine KFL+ have had better threading? I can go back to using the smaller see through tank and stainless steel cylinders if need be, but I like to see all the juice.

Couple of other things to mention.

When doing refills via the normal bottom fill screw hole, I always get dry hits. The only way I'm overcoming this is to unscrew the tank, unscrew the chimney, put some drops of VG on the wick and then do a top fill. (*Then finger over airhole, push top cap on, invert, wait for air bubble to settle, and screw top cap fully). Of course, when I rebuild the microcoil, I always wet the wick, but is it normal to have to wet it every time I do a normal refill? I must admit, I tend to refill when I start to taste a dry hit, perhaps I'm meant to never let it get to that point?

Also, it's meant to take 4.5ml but filling my syringe to the 3ml mark seems to fill it completely.

Cover the air hole and take afew primer puffs. Filling it too much screws up the vacum in it as well. Genuines do have a better quality thread wise but before turning just give it a turn the other way and it should click to let you know you have it in place.
