Pretty cheap too, I was near £40 for the supreme in black direct from steam crave - which is still awaiting shipping, you have 7 days to get it out of the door

Hopefully my doge v3 1:1 clones should be here today, they left China nearly a week ago.

Aromamizer V2 & Supreme up on FT for pre-order.

3ml

6ml

Supreme

Thanks Gee.

A bit annoyed, I pre-ordered the same thing directly from steamcrave for more than that even with the discount code!

Regardless, another one picked up Had a gift certificate so has cost 18.31 GBP all in.

 

[Derp]

+1 for the ecig shop, ALL10 for some discount

Wow, I needed to pick up some VG and PG. Their prices were already very good compared to other sites, but their shipping costs are insanely cheap. I just paid £3.20 to get 2 x 500ml of each delivered via 1st class mail.

Tony from Vapour Depot who sold it to me mentioned he drives his cleito at 50W .2ohm

I'll likely start mine at 30-40w, see how it goes and maybe bed it in, first. Should be fine at 70, though.

Which is considered the best tobacco flavour, ideally something similar in taste to Lambert & Butler, Regal, Embassy etc?

Very subjective, IMO.
Best thing is probably to go into a shop and try some for yourself.
I use to roll, but ended up with a shop's own brand of "Virginia Rolling" that was actually nothing like rollie baccy, but nice enough as a replacement.

When I move on to a different flavour, how should I best wash out the tank and coil? Flush with water or use vodka as I have seen suggested.

Tank - Fairy liquid and a good rinsing does it for me, although I do use an ultrasonic bath sometimes, too.
Coil - Never had much luck in washing any of mine. It just kills the cotton wadding.
I generally keep to one flavour, or a few similar ones per coil. Any menthol or aniseed seems to be a permanent taint.

I'm currently vaping at 14W. Mostly hitting the spot. Strangely though, sometimes I can sit and vape for a long time, others I cough repeatedly. Is this normal? It seems sometimes the hits are stronger than others despite vaping at the same wattage

I'd say it's normal.
I tend to be fairly light on the vaping first thing, but during the evening I chain-vape like it's going out of fashion!

I'm using 0.5 resistance coils. I still don't really understand the difference despite reading up. Any short, factual tips?

Not from me, especially.
Generally, the same voltage through a lower resistance gives you higher watts and so bigger clouds, but also uses your battery faster.
Because SubOhm coils generate more vapour, they're usually designed for more direct-lung hits, to allow bigger clouds and more airflow.
Beyond that, it gets a bit technical.

Right guys, I've been off the analogues since Monday. I was on 20 Lambert & Butler a day, for gosh, 19 years or so. I'm using a Kanger Kbox Mini.

I'm currently using Ace of Vapez liquids at 12MG. I bought three; Wolf Astaire, Wolf Astaire Fruit and Yoda Snot. I've only tried Wolf Astaire so far, since Monday.

Whilst the flavours are fun, they're not the nicest after a meal or glass of wine which is really where I miss my analogues the most.

I'd like some advice please...

A lot of your coughing will be down to not having smoked since Monday It will take a few months for your lungs to clear out IMO

Got an order from Vape Goo.
Very pale looking, tried the Skittles one, not too good.
Sat by boiler now to steep for 3-4 weeks me thinks.

 

[pgi947]

Pair of doge v3 clones showed up, some of the best quality clones I've had, can't fault them...yet.

Got a black/blue and a black/pink one

I'm in the same boat dude, turned up yesterday.

- Cookie Dough Cake
- Blueberry Cotton Candy
- Lucky Lepper

I can smell the flavours, just about..
I expect they are all made to order, especially given their current promotion, will give them atleast 2 weeks a piece and give them a vape.

 

[Rids]

My Clieto arrived today - just waiting for the coil to soak up some juice before I give her a try.

Does anybody want my old Uwell Crown - I had some leaking issues with it, in hindsight I'm thinking it was down to me over priming the coil. All I ask is the cost of postage and I wish you best of luck with her. Comes with a spare 0.5 ohm coil, boxed, and hopefully good to go. No guarantee she wont leak, but I figure somebody might want to take a shot.

Drop me a trust if you want it.

Probably similar to the Spartan Juice debacle on UKVT where basically nobody was happy even after a couple of months steeping as they'd basically sold an absolute boat load of "cheap" Juice that had been mixed at very low percentages

 

[PapaLazaru]

I need to try some new juices so who generally makes good premium juice in a variety of flavours, or can anyone recommend some good fruity / menthol type stuff?

Give vapours oven frozen forest a try

So I tried the innokin t22 I ordered. Got to say it's a pretty decent first introduction for me to vaping. Only issue is if I hold the button for to long it does burn my lips a little. Ice menthol flavour really seems nice on it and tastes good too. Can't say I'm regretting the purchase. Just feels really weird though lol.

You'll get used to it fairly quickly, be prepared to spend a while coughing a fair bit as your body adjusts to quitting smoking and taking up vaping.

The T22 and T18 are great starter kits, simple no fuss and a good experience overall

 

[slinxy]

Touche, must admit although i'm aware of genesis atomisers, i'm not 100% sure what the advantages of them are meant to be, is it a pure flavour with no cotton to change the taste?

Better flavour in essence. Slinxy will be answer better than me as he probably has more experience with gennies

The last time I built my nextgen was 4 months ago.. even today when I dropped it and cracked the glass.. I just took it a part and cleaned it in a sonic cleaner then put on the metal tank till my glass replacement comes... no need to wick coil or rewick.. and the tank has been in daily use for the past 4 months.. mesh builds last months, if not years.

it's cleaner taste and flavour will last longer than on cotton builds even when it's junked up, normally it's a dry burn then it works again..

There are some very troublesome gennies out, but the modern new ones are great.. nextgen/nextiny, origennie and in'ax, are the ones imho to look out for.. I have the first two and the third should be with me tomorrow, small/big air.. mtl/dtl.. they will do it all. It is a warmer vape thou, vaping some of the bottom coil cotton tanks now feel like sucking on a mint.. lol

 

[bradUK]

Hi guys,

So after taking the advice here I bought the Kangertech subox mini kit. The instructions aren't the best as I think they've been translated from Chinese lol

Could someone give me a few pointers regarding temperature vs wattage? I think I'm right in saying that I can cycle through the coil material (SS, Ti, Ni etc) and adjust the temperature to suit with the watts locked to 75 OR switch it over to variable wattage?

What's the benefit of this? I'm guessing you use temperature for a specific coil and wattage for another? I'm currently using the 0.5 SS coil that was in it when it arrived and playing with the temperature.

What are good wattages/temperatures to start with? So confused lol

**EDIT**

Just ran the SS .5 in wattage @ 25w. WOW!

This is worlds away from those crappy ecig lites! Think I'm going to like this, looking forward to learning more!

Are there any skittle or fruity flavours. Just trying vampire vapes menthol Ice which is exactly what I wanted for my menthol flavor.

I need to have another go at building the MCR303, it would be fine for 5-6 hits then started to go dry, that 200sf mesh single straw with 5 wraps of 30awg @ 0.6.

My main struggle seems to be getting hot spots on the top wrap next to the POS post, I think I need a 1 or 1.5mm top cap as well as the 2mm is actually too airy

I bought an MCR303 recently as well... seemed silly not to at £30. I've also only had one go at a build which resulted in minimal flavour followed by dry hits. I usually like to build with stainless rope with a mesh wrap at the top, though the wick hole is too tight for what i have so had to go with a mesh straw.

I'll have a play again soon and see how it goes, though it wasn't the nicest thing to build on.

Vapour Depot's skittles is quite nice, can't say it reminds me that much of skittles - I haven't had a bag in years, but certainly a nice sweet fruity vape.

My fave 'fruity' vape is VV's Pinkman or Bomb Bombz green crack.


Update on the Doge v3, really really nice vape, the airflow is so damn smooth, no resistance, no noise even when half closed, the only con I've found so far is you can't really drip through the chuff cap as it has a spit back guard. For a $10 RDA I can't complain and glad I got two of them!
