So guys, I need to replace my Snow Wolf and TFV4 tank, what the best out there at the moment?

Got a new setup today, more of a replacement from my aging Eleaf 50W really as I got some new batteries for the SW at the same time.

Joytech Cuboid 150w, Sense Herakles Plus and 4 x EFAN 3000MAH batteries.

So far so good

Cheers for the heads up, since I have been after a new dripper since the grub screws on my Velocity are basically useless all of a sudden Went for Stainless.

Kills me paying shipping on all these small orders though

Whats wrong with the grub strews, if its just a matter of the heads rounded out so you cant tighten them, i can send you a few spares, or you can get them on Fasttech

Anyone got any tips on getting the top cap off of the Uwell Crown?

It seems that I've somehow managed to screw it back on with the strength of a gorilla, and can't for the life of me get it back off again.

Bottom filling on it is a nightmare. In the two days since I've had to do that, it has leaked incessantly.

I've tried putting the top assembly in the freezer for ~ an hour and a half, and also tried it with grippy can opener pad things, with no joy. Also tried gripping the center post with pliers and the same grippy pads to prevent too much damage, but all I have for my efforts are some raw fingers from trying to twist the knurled cap.

A real pain the rear, as I've got a bunch of heads so if I can't get any joy I'll just have to buy another tank.

Yeah, They have stopped screwing in properly and can't get a decent connection. Thats kind of you to offer but I wouldn't mind grabbing myself some rather than rob you of your spares, What size would I need for the Velocity do you know?

Im not sure what size, i have 2 velocity RDA clones and both have different size grub screws, think ones 1.5mm and the other is 2mm diameter.
I just bought 5 packs of spares of FT a few weeks back and have used various ones in the one Velocity, the Crius and the UD Zephyrus V2 and Goblin Mini V1.

I dont mind sending you a few of each, just PM me your address and ill be happy to send a few, i assume you need all 4 so i can send both sizes that fit my two clones.

Checked the box for a manual etc hoping it would tell me the size but no joy although they seem pretty small compared to other grub screws. Okay mate, Will drop you a PM.. many thanks will be glad to put it back in use

I should look into grabbing a bag of spares in future for sure.

Edit: Sent you across a PM hopefully it gets across to you.

Got your mail and sent a reply, ill post in the morning, mean time, below are the SKU's for the screws i bought for anyone interested in stocking up on spares.

M3*4mm (headless), 20-Pack / SKU: 2284702
M3*3mm (headless), 20-Pack / SKU: 2284705
M2.5*4mm (headless), 20-Pack / SKU: 2284708
M2*4mm (headless), 10-Pack / SKU: 3692001

Not sure the last ones (M2*4mm) are big enough for anything (might have fit the goblin mini) but can never be too sure...

Gilbert89 · 23 Mar 2016 at 23:59

Thanks again man, As I said in the email. Will make sure I grab some of those with my next FT order.

New flavours up on Vape Goo (E-juicestore).
Still 3 for 2.
Loving Cinnamon Danish & Lucky Charms after 2 week steep atm.

Cinnamon has become a "Go too" for me, not much luck with rest of their flavours though, had em steeping for about two weeks and still all pretty muted, reluctant to order again :/

Tsunami RDA clones are available for immediate dispatch on Vape Geek if anyone's interested.

SXK (ShenXingKang) clone so they'll be very good quality.

Nah

I'd rather have the real thing for a few quid more.

I didn't like their "Skittles" one, too strong, but that's the only one I haven't liked out of seven flavours.

Vcmt update;

Having a lot of trouble getting the equilibrium between leaking and good vaping.

Less wick it vapes lovely, but loses as much juice to leaking as vaping.

More wick it still leaks but only during filling, once its got negative pressure its all right, but the vape is dry and horrible.

The deck needs looked at methinks

Decided to give DIY mixing another go. Tried it briefly to start with, but never managed to produce a flavour for an everyday vape. I've been using Spectrum Vaping's Custard Cream ever since, but it's getting quite expensive now, so going to try DIY once more. I'm thinking to use pre-blended concentrates this time around, hence the questions below. If anybody has tried and likes Spectrum's Custard Cream and has any DIY flavours they'd recommend for a similar palate, please let me know.

Ordered the following concentrates from Chefs Vapour:

1. FlavourArt Custard Cream
2. FlavourArt Banana Nut Bread
3. Chefs Choice Cookies N Cream
4. Chefs Choice Orees Cookies

Looking at their recommendations, anywhere between 2% and 10% concentrate should be used for the above. Does anybody know more specifically what to try? Or is it just a case of trial and error?

Done some digging for you man! I've found a Spectrum Vaping Custard Cream clone if you're interested.

Think I've managed to nail the goblin mini v2 wicking at the first attempt, on the third tank of juice now, not even a dribble or hint of a dry hit, ramped power up to 45w, feel it has headroom for a little more too, lovely little tank, it's smaller then just about all of my drippers - minus the derringer.

Gee · 24 Mar 2016 at 12:38

Saw this after scouring through r/diy_ejuice for a while. Clone of Ruthless Rise.

TFA Jackfruit, the rest are Capella.

I added 3 drops of Koolada as well. It's nice off the bat but I think it'll benefit from a bit of airing.

I'm still on the hunt for a recipe of Vaping Kings MDV666, have been for a few years now

Seems my Reuleaux DNA 200 is faulty

Insert 3 x 25R (charged externally to 4.2V) one reads at 0, one at 4.5V, another at 3.6V. If I move them around a little, one jumps up to 5.5V or another changes to 0V

Put in 3 new HE2 instead - same thing, so it's not the batteries.

Crowort · 24 Mar 2016 at 14:23

Without the Jackfruit is my adv. I use different percentages but not a million miles away. Someone posted it in this thread awhile ago. It doesn't change too much with steeping, just becomes more 'rounded'.

Make sure the wraps are not preventing good contact at the positive end, i had that same problem with my Efest cells, all i did was press my finger nail into the wrap around the positive pin and press in as i turned the cell, then re inserted the cell to the mod and it worked fine, but had to do it every time i swapped them out.

Even without the cells in it's reading Cell 1 : 0, Cell 2 : 1.60, Cell 3 : 2.09
