hi guys. a bit of advice please :)
I currently use a KF mini v3 on an archaic provari mini which I've had for nearly 3 years.
I coil at around 1.3 ohms with the pro vari set to 4.2 v and am reasonably satisfied with the results but am wondering if I'll get more out of it by getting a new mod?
Have been looking at the diocodes dani extreme v2 and understand the temp control stuff is more aimed at sub ohm vapers but wondered if the VW side will improve things for my KF?
I dont really want a box mod and the dani extreme seems like one of the better tube mods but not sure if its worth it?

you been using the kf mini v3 for 3 years? it's only been out for about 3 months.

There's not much movement in the regulared tube mods at all, dicodes is about the best there is...

There's a rather lovely gem and wizard set being sold by a nice man (ted) over at ukv that's worth looking at. Both the atty and mod own their own in their respected market.

Now then, I fly out to Portugal tomorrow for a stag do and ideally I don't want to fall back down to smoking cigarettes. What's the crack with travelling with a vape in the hand luggage? Obviously liquids go in the liquid bag but should I drain the tank/carry batteries separately?
Click to expand...

I'd drain the tank. I've yet to go on a flight where the pressure hasnt made the tank leak, and that's various different tanks. Now i just empty it before i get on the flight.
 
Ah right, thanks for the advice folks!

What's the crack with the liquids? I've read a few reports online that they always expand and leak, if I take a few half empty bottles I should be safe shouldn't I?

I've found that it depends on the tank. My protanks always leaked but since I moved away from them I haven't had any problems. If in doubt, either leave room in the tank for the liquid to expand into or empty them.

Bah I knew someone was going to pick me up on that badly worded sentance... my KF is less than a week old but the pro vari is somewhat older :)
Guess I'll get a bit more usage out of it... The number of times it's been dropped its amazing it still works at all!

Honestly? No. Its all going to be looks alone if you are happy with what you have. If anything you could try a new RTA as flavour will be an obvious upgrade. Ive just got a hurricane and love the flavour off of it

Thanks - thought that was probably the case but figured was worth checking. Maybe will treat myself at crimbo time if the PV lasts that long.
 
Where do people get flavour concentrates from and spare bottles? I have finally finished all my eliquids and didn't want to start DIY until I vaped it all.

I have nic, pg and vg in storage so don't need any of that stuff. I also have a decent scale as I wanted to mix by weight.

Oh and I need the appropriate needle and syringe to get to the liquid in these 1litre PG/VG bottles too.

Thank you

Sound, I'll get my Subvod drained tonight...I don't trust myself with the VTC after copious amounts of the old grape juice.

My new tips for the V1 Aromamizers turned up yesterday. Lovely workmanship from Big's Tips: http://driptipsbybig.co.uk/
I bought 3 of them in different colours and they make the Aromamizers so much nicer to vape on.

That looks fantastic, but the Aromamizer has a small built in drip tip, your new one appears to fit over that, had a look on Big's site and dont see anything like that, were they custom made or is that a new Aromamizer with a flush top?
 
Its the original Aromamizer and so fits over the built in nipple. They were custom made for me and they cost me £13 each.
If you want some, just drop Colin an email there. He'll sort you out. There's a bit of a wait as he makes everything like this to order. Mine took 3 weeks.

Thats a shame Gilbert, it would seam that no two clones are the same, as i said, my two take different sized screws between them, one uses much thinner, but both are about the same length.

You could sand the screws down if they are not that far off?
Click to expand...

They are pretty far off but will give it a go.

For those interested the Tsunami RDA is in stock at the UK Ecig Store, If i'm happy wirh my clone which fingers crossed should arrive today I will definetly grab an authentic version.

Cheers Rilot, ive sent him and email and will wait and see, they make the aromaizer look shorter and a cleaner flush fit... great job and thanks for sharing the info :)

How big are the openings on your VG/PG bottles? Couldn't you just pour the liquid in?

I get my bottles from here

I learnt that the hard way with a full tank of the sweetest,stickiest juice all over my clothes and jeans.

From what I hear they prefer full bottles as well. I bought a 100ml bottle of strawberry fields last time and asked Simon to send it in a 100ml plastic bottle. Put it in a travel zip lock and kept it for when I travelled

I use the one from my aspire cleito... remove the oring from the top and place it over the nipple bit of the aromamizer and push the dt on.
 
I made my own from a hygiene tip, just cut off the 510 fitting end to leave a straight barrel and press fit it over the top of the Aromamizer nipple... not as good looking at a proper DT, but it leaves a shorter look and a soft tip for putting to your lips.

TBH, I'd suggest going to the Cuboid, now. The VTC Mini was great, but the single 18650 lets it down. You get all the same stuff on the Cuboid, but a much longer battery life.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't. The Cuboid is a heavy mod and is nowhere near as discreet as the VTC Mini.
It all depends on how you're vaping. If you're blasting away at 75W then yeah, a VTC Mini isn't going to cut it. But if you're like most people and vaping in the 30W to 50W range then it's fine and you can easily get a day of use out of it when paired with a 30Q or HG2.
