Going to try one of these on my next order, huge claims being made... I really did like the vape of the Vision V3, but the burning wick, sudden loss of flavour and thirstiness of them are a let down, hopefully these are better

Got the same email and have been seriously interested in these. Watched the couple of video reviews I could find... one said they're excellent, another had a few dry hits for a day or so but once it bedded in said it was spot on.

Looks like an all-in-one solution of the tank + punched carto system that my friend swears by, so I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts before I take the plunge. :)

Cool :)

I've left it soaking for half hour and it tastes horrible. Bit like burning plastic. Can't really taste the juice.

Those clearos have a weird plastic taste for the first tank or so. It put me off a lot, I recommend the dual coil cartomisers available from ecig wizard. They're only a few quid and they just work. You should only need a minute or so for the juice to soak through the wick so it isn't that.
 
The problem I find with metal tips is they're freezing if you don't use it for a while, and since getting a vv I've cut down a lot! I used to go through 6-8ml a day and now I'm down to 2-4ml.
Anyone recommend a flat plastic or similar tip? I'm not bothered about looks, hell it can be pink if it's that good as my vv stays at home.

How did getting a VV battery enable you to cut down on liquid usage?

Smaller drags I assume?

I'd guess the increased TH maybe made it fel more satisfying? So vaped less? I use more juice with VV because each drag uses more at higher wattage.

The CE8 has a wick it is just made of steel mesh instead of 'wick' a.k.a fiberglass. I've seen good and bad reviews of them. I'd expect the next the next ones to be good. At least the 1st of anything out of China seems to be pretty meh and the 2nd one has all our beta testing to fix it.
 
The increased TH was what done it for me, along with needing a smaller drag. I never found anything as satisfying or with equal TH.

The CE8 has grabbed my attention though. Might have to invest.
 
Just had my Aga-t arrive, on the first attempt the coil wire burnt/snapped :(

What else can i uses for the coil, got about 100m of 5a fuse wire in the van? or bad idea?

Or im gonna have to order some and wait :(

ps. Doesn't work too low resistance

Not sure if anyone here has seen this, but Liberty Flights had an issue, below is the text from their FB page

Hey y’all.

Well as the saying always goes…which do you want first, the good news or the bad news?
Generally people always tend to go with the bad don’t they? OK then, we had a breach of security at LF over the weekend and we were illegally deprived (or robbed) of some of our kits. So we would like to politely request that if anyone does get offered a large amount of our branded goods that they contact the police (0800 555 111), which can be done anonymously and pass on any details that might be of assistance to them. The goods that were stolen were our CE4 eGo single and dual kits (including some 900 PT’s).

The good news is that no one was hurt and the incident has not stopped us from trading on all fronts. Hopefully this will be an end to the matter and we will continue to provide you with all your lovely vaping needs.

Thanks all and keep on keeping on!

I've managed to get two off the owner of Smokshop UK. He isn't planning on selling them over here on the Smokshop website as he says he just wants to sell basic clearomisers. So he's getting rid of the samples Smok sent him.

Should come this week.

Well fingers crossed its just running in the wick. What carts do you recommend?
Click to expand...

Damn Multi quote isn't working, but anyway:

1. You remove the plastic cap mate as illustrated here:
http://vapingguides.com/blog/vapor-trails/cartomizer-filling-for-electronic-cigarettes/

There are lots of video guides on how you properly saturate a Carto.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PICBRi37Zs0

2. If your device takes a 510 connection then I recommend the Boge carto.

3. I also think that placing it in a tank (which is what I intend to do soon for my brothers machine) will be good too.

You'll need:

- Tank

- Carto Punch

You need Kanthal wire or Niobium Alloy Resistance Wire

I saw that flat ribbon stuff earlier in the thread, can you advise what size to get? and what grade of mesh for an Aga-T

Thanks v Muchly
Click to expand...

Not sure about the ribbon Kanthal, best just popping into IRC and asking
http://client01.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=#ukvapers&server=irc.ukvapers.net

Mesh depends on what mix base liquid you use. I've gone for 400 grade myself, but I use 100% VG which is diluted with 10% distilled water.

But the vaping gurus on that IRC channel can answer everything :D
 
Ribbon, 0.3 or 0.5 is the best choice for most users, 0.3 is very much like 0.20 kanthal and the 0.5 being close to 0.25 kanthal in terms of resistance once wrapped, example .25 wrap of 5 wraps on a 2mm wick gives me 1.3ohms, same number with 0.5 ribbon is exactly the same. One thing i will say, if you plan on high resistances of 1.8ohms and above, you will struggle the 0.5 ribbon, but the 0.3 is perfect for that.

Mesh is going to be your personal preference in terms of what wicks best for you and your juices, as a general rule of thumb most atomisers that come with mesh is 400 and this is what most people stick to, some use 500 others 325 or 200 depending on the application.

Could the Vapers on here fill in this research survey? Ecig surevey This guy is trying to get data to backup claims and hopefully effect the chance of a ban of nicotine liquids.
Click to expand...

Done but... some of the questions are a little loaded/vague, not sure how useful the results will be unless they get tens of thousands of respondents

Also

32. Did you or anyone else close to you ever have: (yes/no, please state for each answer)

Battery explosion
Electrical shock from the charger or the device
Click to expand...

TECHNICALLY yes to both, but both times it was me being thick/flippant/impatient :D
 
I don't know how useful his research will be but he is fighting our side. We do need more good research (most of the stuff out there is fairly bad) He stood up for us in the EU, he got told they weren't interested as it wasn't the time 'for experts'.
 
Family member gave me an Odyssey from TW as a gift today. The design and build quality is unbeatable by anything I have used on the market. I was alittle dissapointed with the hit, however I am used to a 510 setup with an Ego-V, however it gives a consistent vape with no leaks at all.

With that said, I wouldn't have parted with £90 of my own money for it.
