You wont be disappointed, one thing i will say, if it needs steeping, let it steep, it really does change how it tastes, my last 100ml bottle was 12 day steeped when i got it. Its my everyday, all day vape.
And on the subject of juices, ive just got my hands on some Radiator Pluid juice from Liberty Flights, its finally arrived in the UK, shame the price is sky high for 10ml bottles though.
And it has just been shipped, hopefully my Pyrex Aga-T2 will stand up to the infamous tank killer juice - I suggest anyone wanting to try this juice, dont in anything plastic lol, it will kill and eat the plastic/crack/craze, best suited to Pyrex, Fused Quartz or Stainless steel tanks, unless your not bothered about it ruining a Vivi or something. Even PMMA tanks such as the Ac9 will crack, and that stuff is the same they make bulletproof stuff from.

YepI'm a big fan of the totally wicked gold standard liquids. They're very realistic (their real tabs liquid is a nice sweet "freshly opened marlboro packet smell" taste, but their fruity stuff is bang on)
is their stuff usable as normal straight away as it comes? it seems to say concentrate which makes me think it needs diluting?

Oh dude, you're right. I could have sworn they came as premix as well. My bad! Yeah, you'd need to pick up some PG/VG and nicotine to mix it with.
The red label premix liquids are made with the gold standard concentrates, after some investigation I found, so you could try those.
If you want a good premixed tobacco, House of liquid do an awesome tobacco liquid in their El Toro range called El Cigarillos, which has a very leafy tobacco taste that is just excellent.
Everything else I use is DIY mix so I can't really comment on any other stuff. I'm sure the other guys will have some good recommendations though.

Will do. Going to start tomorrow. Got a few normal fags left.
Has anyone tried the refresher bar juice? The guy in the shop was testing it and let the wife try it she said it was really nice.
Ill see how I get on and then start trying different flavours
Can you just mix them up to make other flavours or does that not work?

You can mix premade liquids (eg coffee and caramel work well), but it's better to use flavour concentrates so you can be more flexible with your mixing, and it's a lot cheaper that way too.
Some flavours are delicious, but don't suit an all day vape (like eating cake for every meal). You'll have a period of trial and error ahead there until you find what you like, so get 10ml bottles until you find your "all day vape" and then just try things out when you feel like a change.
I smoked my bedtime rollie for a month or so and vaped for the rest of the day. There's no set way to do it really. I just thought I would vape every time I wanted a smoke, and if I still really really wanted a smoke I'd have one. I found that as long as I vaped first I never really needed the cigarette. Other people just jump straight onto the e-cig and never look back. Just find what works for you.

I found those extremely hit and miss tbh,try the CE5 clearomisers they are miles better imo and you only have to buy one and just replace the elements inside once they run out.
They usually last about 3 weeks before they need replacing and can be bought in packs of three for a fiver.

I very rarely get burnt taste and they produce great vapour.

Looking for some advice on improving / upgrading my setup.
Currently running a lavatube v4, but finding the power drops with battery voltage, great at 4.2v but im changing batteries at 3.8v when its noticeably lost power, guessing this is only using maybe 25% of the battery charge.
I assume this is because of the poor quality circuits in the lavatube not giving an accurate output.
What would be the best option, would seriously consider a provari apart from i just recently spent almost £50 on some new 18650s that might not fit, seems like not all 18650s fit in all ecigs.
Heard of vamo, evic, vape pro, zmax but dont know what is the 'best' or if there are other mods i dont know about.
ps. battery size is (18.80±0.1mm x 68.70±0.1) seems length causes problems with some ecigs and width with others, not much info available on what size the battery compartments are etc.
Anyone know the max size 18650 the provari will take??
pps Also is variable wattage a 'must have' feature, which would count against a provari, unless they update it soon with vw

Are you on about the tanks?
I always had issues with them either not wicking well enough (you usually need to give a few dry pulls on it to get things moving) or flooding.
If you're on about the cartos I always harp on about, then you need to fill them with loads of liquid (don't get it down the hole in the middle, drip down the side) until they look moist on top and it doesn't soak away quickly (the first time you do it can take a few minutes because the wick is denser when they're new) or until liquid drips out the bottom (too much!). I once made the mistake of dumping loads in, thinking it was full and then puffing away only to get a burnt taste. It takes a while to soak through so keep topping it up until one of the above happens.
Got my Vision eGo up and running, safe to say i'm pretty impressed with it, great taste, great vape and a satisfying alternative to smoking most importantly the much healthier and cleaner way.
Gonna order a few Cartomizers to keep topped up and currently just on the regular menthol which came with my starter kit which im also curious as to what MG of Nicotine is in it as Ive had a little old school niccy rush baring in mind I smoked Benson Silver 6/10 per day maybe im just getting used to it but may buy a lower dosage once I find out what it is does anyone know? Ive previously posted what kit I bought but here it is again http://www.ecigwizard.com/electronic-cigarette-starter-kits/starter-bundle/standardbundle.html ...
Top 3 Flavours guys? Im interested in trying a fruity one maybe Blueberry?
What maintenance do you guys take after a day/couple of days use cleaning wise?

I believe the starter kits come with a middle of the road 18mg liquid. It is quite a different experience than smoking and does take some adjusting in your habits, there is no "end" like you get with a ciggy, so new vapers tend to just puff away (I do too over a year in lol). With the V3 heads you should get a week at least I reckon before you need to do anything. Usually the liquid will in the tank will show some signs of darkening/thickening and the flavour and vapour produced will wane. On the first go a wash out with warm water is usually enough to bring them back to full strength. You MUST dry it completely before using again, water is not great in an atomiser. Be sure to have a spare atomiser head handy though, you can never have too many spares! At £2.50 a pop I never bother to wash them twice, after the first clean you might notice it isn't as good as new - that continues til you replace the atomiser head.
My top 3 flavours would be Coffee (Decadent Vapours), coconut (DV) and then perhaps Rouge Bull (Ecigwizard). You may find some flavours are too much for all day use but are nice for evening or after dinner, this is where having two atomisers on the go helps
The seal on the mouth piece is just a silicon ring, I just leave it on the mouth piece part
Ah right. Those are basically rebranded smok mega dual coil cartos. Follow the steps for filling them the first time. Sounds like you underestimated how much they hold!
Drip down the side, let it soak in, drip down the side, let it soak in. Repeat until it either doesn't soak in or leaks out the bottom (if you're quick you can catch the extra back in the bottle
) It does take a couple minutes to soak through the whole wick, but once that first fill is done you only need to top them up and they'll never burn dry on you.- Status
