God I've missed Red Astaire.

So nice to vape.

That looks really really good. Would I gain anything significant if I upped my budget to £100?

What are you looking for?

Personally I've got a Sigelei 150w tc. Dual battery so obviously on the larger side. I'm really holding out for a DNA200 mod. The software looks soooo cool. The ability to customise the screens and all the other stuff it does is really exciting. They currently use a 3 cell lipo battery, but I believe evolv have released an update to allow 2 18650 bats too, so they will start coming out.

ok cool, i'll take that cotton out from the basket. Got a link for muji cotton?
Also what wire will I need to build coils?

edit - is it this

http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=17&Sub=70&PID=4479

edit - order placed for everything now, changed the battery to a 2 pack and got the cotton direct for just under a fiver for 140 pads. Now I need to find fruity juice for him that doesn't taste like perfume. Any good recommendations for strawberry, melon or apple flavours please?

Just been told there is a package with muji written on it at home, that was a quick turnaround.

Also slowtech are saying the kanger subox kit will be shipped in 2 weeks
Is there an alternative that anyone can recommend?

I don't believe the D2 does step down in power mode though? Step down is a means to go below battery voltage. If you don't have step down and you want to vape say a coil of 0.5ohm at 15W, you can't do it since the battery voltage is around 3.7V and that yields about 27W. So even if you set your device on 15W it will still give you 27W (3.7V) since it can't go below 3.7V

This is correct. But when do you ever want to vape 0.5 ohms at less than 27W?
I vape all sorts of resistances for MTL and DL, sub-ohm, and normal, tanks and drippers, and I can't say that the lack of step down has ever caused me an issue with that mod.

Just Decent TC and some future proofing. The iPV3 LI looks really appealing, think I'm settled unless anyone can point out it sucks!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Edit, D2 looks like a lot of kit for the cash!

I really must do so mroe research and perhaps change things. I am sub ohm vaping at 13W! if i go to 20w or more i start and get a burning flavour.

Yeah on the most part it's not an issue. Although on a fully charged battery @ 4.2v with a 0.5ohm coil that would be 35 watts. I run my subtank mini at 30w at times. Not much difference granted, but something to be aware of.

ipv3 li is nice, if you can deal with the size of it (pretty standard for dual bat mods) I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Can be had for £60 or less.

Please make sure you are aware of how to run a dual battery mod. Always marry batteries together and use high amp bats such as the 25r's or he4's.

edit: Don't forget to factor in the price of a decent charger and 2 sets of batteries (£10 a pair)

 

[Gee]

DIY crew

Here's a recipe for Stanley Clark's Snake Oil which I'm sure most of you have all tried.

Ordered the concentrates last night so hopefully they'll be here tomorrow. Will report back with results.

LINK

Right so I've just made 30ml of this.

It's definitely Snake Oil but as per the Reddit thread, it needs a bit of work.

The background flavours need increasing a bit, but off the bat (mixed a minute ago) it's pretty spot on!

Might give homebrew a go. Where do I start?

You are super helpful! Ive got a XTAR VC2 and 2 samsung 25r, Ill get a new pair just for the new one. £60 on ft? Think I'm sold.

I'm no expert by any means but been vaping for 5 or 6 years so have a decent idea. Yet to get in to homebrew or tc though

There's a really good post on reddit about battery safety with mods - don't think I can link to it though as there are naughty words. Drop me a mail on trust and I'll send it over.

Would recommend 2 new pairs - no on board charging on dual mods so you'll want a set for when the other is charging.

I would second the Koopor Mini great little device that packs a punch.

Cheers all

Oh man they've released the tfv4 in black now want one

 

[Gee]

Look OK but buy your batteries locally from someone like Torchy. Fasttech takes ages if there are batteries involved.

I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, but batteries from Fasttech take about 12 days using Sweden Post.

kuro coil making tool is what I need

I use this one from Fasttech and it works brilliantly.

 

[A[L]C]

12 days is ages

Plenty of places do 2 quality batteries and a case for £10 delivered.

I can get a four pack of Samsung 25R5's (updated version with better charge cycles) from Fasttech for £12.

I think I can wait the 12 days.

You're right, but not something I require personally.

What gauge wire are you using?

But are they tested and 100% known to be genuine, I think not. for normal vaping its fine to do that if your going sub ohm I wouldn't trust them not worth the risks

*sigh* Yes, they are genuine.
