You get what you pay for... all im saying. But for £1, you can try it and see for yourself.

Look on Facebook for Vaping groups buy from respected sellers for DIY juice, just as good as the real stuff can usually get 100ml for £12 or smaller 30ml for £3.50 all suberb and can get any strengh vg ratio you want.

The shop suff for £1-2.50 ibreath debang stuff is terrible really is. Chinese made with such poor flavouring. Makes my tank and coil go very quick must be more oil based and tastes like plastic.

Hoping to get an order placed sometime this evening for some new vape gear.

The straight to lung sub ohm vaping isn't at the top of my agenda but hoping to try it at some point but I'm looking for mouth to lung but still hoping for that throat hit and high vapour production.

Was looking at going for this battery what are your thoughts? IS there a cheaper option which you would recommend?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Innokin-iTa...Taste+MVP+3.0+Pro+iSub+G+-+60W+BOX+MODInnokin iTaste MVP 3.0 Pro iSub G - 60W BOX MOD

Now where I am lost is as to which tank to buy and what materials such as cotton and wire I need to purchase to keep me going also what VG/PG ratios tend to be recommend for this style vaping? (Or is the iSub which comes with this battery suitable and beginner friendly?) I don't mind going to the extra expensive to improve the experience when a tank is concerned which can be used for my daily vape etc.

Sorry for being a big newb!

Anyone got any opinions on the £1 eliquid range? Since getting the subtank mini I'm going through silly amounts of juice so could do with a cheap juice as its getting to be very expensive

Buy a heap and see which ones you like, quite like their mint blast and cherry menthol liquids

It looks like my DNA200 board has a problem.

All was well last night, plugged it in today give it a battery top up earlier and it isn't charging.

USB current is showing very low at around 0.010A, Cells are LG HE4s showing 3.70/3.71v.

Is it trying to balance them before it does any charging or something more sinister a miss?

They're not bad at all for the price. Their cherry, whilst average is still better than all the cherry flavours from all the so called premium bands i've tried. The Pineapple flavour is actually quite nice. They're not that smooth though, i'm not sure how they'd hold up at 6mg in a sub ohm tank. I used the ones i bought in a Natilus Mini.

Check in Escribe under the Mod tab, is it set to Max puffs or max charge?
Max puffs will charge as fast as it can from the usb source, max charge will reduce the charge rate to give the batteries a longer life.

Max Puffs, will leave it charge for a couple of hours and keep an eye on things for now. My guess its trying to balance the cells

UKDTweak · 20 Sep 2015 at 17:44

Maybe, ive not really used the usb for charging, though i guess every time i connect to escribe it will be, but i bought two pairs of 2800 Efests so always have a pair charged and ready to go in when i get the weak battery message.

I'm not that fussed by USB to be fair either, was purely because I've only got one married pair at the moment while I wait for some of the Green Wrap 25Rs to arrive

UKDTweak · 20 Sep 2015 at 17:58

Yeah. i only use USB as a last resort, if im out and forgotten my spares, which does not happen often.

I see that somebody on the evolv site has posted a wooden dual 18650 mod thats nice, but ive seen the Exact same one on ECF and also for sale on Ebay.... wondering if the box can be bought ready to just put in a chip so ive messaged the guy on the evolv site, either that or he's claiming for somebody else's work.

Bugger it, if USB charging wakes up its a bonus if not, then I'm not really bothered.

I think I know the one you mean, two holes bored through the top for the batteries, think he showed it with a small Lipo pack as well.

You mentioned you had bought one of the mamu faceplates, I might be able to get some cheap face plates printed through a member on a local vape group, will see how much he can print them for and if its cheap enough get a batch of 5-10 done. Shapeways are horrific on postage

UKDTweak · 20 Sep 2015 at 18:23

The box is just dual 18650, has a carbon finish faceplate on it and a standard battery sled inside, bit on the tall and wide side but nice still.

Yeah shapeways delivery is shocking, costing me £18 in total, £10 for the faceplate and £8 for delivery, and for such a tiny and light thing, its madness... but its the only place i know to get them from sadly.. im surprised mode maker or stealthvape dont offer something similar...

Welcome back Balky.

If you like temp control but find NI200 a pain as most do... then Titanium is the way forward at the moment, must easier to work with, less wraps needed to get the ohms and personally i think the flavour is better, but that is subjective.

Box mod wise, for Temp control... there are plenty out there from Sigelei, IPV, Kooper, Snow Wolf and many chinese variant mods, but the best are Yihi or DNA200 based.. you will pay more for a DNA200 mod though, but its performance and flexibility are second to none at the moment.

Cheers dude will look around. What do you recommend RTA wise? Cthulhu v2 and amomizer have caught my eye, want to be sure I'm not missing anything though.

Will definately be giving titanium a go. Trying to get a nickel build in my UTA is tight at the best of times.

UKDTweak · 20 Sep 2015 at 18:38

I have heard good things about the Cthulhu and aromamizer but not tied either yet, was almost going to buy a Cthulhu till i heard it has juice control... i hate Juice control, i just don't get it, my GT II had it and it was naff... you either had it full open or it failed to wick properly at all...
The Uwell Crown is very popular right now too, and hearing good things about it, but im holding out till the RBA is easier to get a hold of and also my work m8 just got one so looking forward to trying it first, besides, i have a Delta II that's great for flavour but a pain to fill, 2x Lemo 2 that i just love and 2x TFV4 that are good, but not great for flavour compared to the Lemo 2 or Delta II.

there are just so many rebuildable tanks now its getting silly for choice, most are going to give you pretty much the same vap as most are aimed towards sub ohm and clouds these days.

UKDTweak · 20 Sep 2015 at 18:45

The guy on the Evole forum replied, he bought the box from an italian maker... you just need to add in the chip, buttons, 510 and either 18650 sled or a lipo... 24 Euro's or 27 Euros if you want he 510 hole pre drilled out...

https://boxmod.ecwid.com/#!/Quadro/p/53352017/category=0

10 Euros for shipping, extra 5 Euros if you want a custom engraving..

So the standard box, no 510 or engraving works out at £24 delivered...

Bennie-Mac · 20 Sep 2015 at 18:47

Cheers guys, ordered 5 bottles so no harm done if they suck. Just hope they work out or I'm going back to my istick.

The 6mg isn't bad, iirc it has a higher VG content, something like 60/40 VG/PG. Tastes a 1000x nicer in my aromamizer then subtank mini w/ RBA+.

I have both, tbh they trade blows, if you're after that wide open dripper type vape then go for the Aromamizer RDTA, though be prepared to spend another £10 or so on the velocity style deck when it comes out as the stock deck is a bit of a pain to work with.

The Cthulhu V2 has more restricted airflow (only tried single coil deck so far!), similar to that of the V1 subtank mini, but is all round a nice tank, simple, easy to build on, tastes great. Though as mentioned has a juice flow ring that servers no purpose, just make sure to wind it all the way down before screwing the deck back in and you're golden

Edit: CV2 is also top fill!

Dammit I want one of those now.

I really shouldn't spend more money but that's a lovely looking box

UKDTweak · 20 Sep 2015 at 20:27

it is a nice looking box, a little on the big side and could do with the edges being a bit rounder, also looks like it needs a varnish or something to protect the wood, but yeah... its very nice, like i said, there is one on ebay prebuilt with the DNA200 for £145.. from a UK seller claiming to be a mod builder and does custom order..
