You sure it isn't 5.4%? You got a link to the one you bought? Saying that I'm sure it will be 54mg / 5.4% nicotine.
The charger flashing back and forth is normal and the charge will work like normal and be done when it stays green.

I'm just doing some training this week so I don't know what times I'll be available. When you say dinner do you mean lunch? I could text him when I start my lunch and that gives him an hour to get there in (he could ring me when he gets there or something). Drop me a message in trust if you reckon that would work. If you aren't too far I could drop them up after work if you like?
So it is! There are a few vapers in my office so perhaps we should set up a liquid exchange
When holding down the battery it's slightly different amount of seconds each time but my battery stops and flashes on and off is this the safety cut off?
Also if I vape each drag in quick succesion after 4/5 it starts flashing and cutting out after 3/4 seconds, is this safety due to heat? Running at 4.2V

Received the Smok RSST today 
4 Wraps .2 Kanthol gave 2.2-2.3 ohms.
4Volts on the Evic and it felt a bit restrictive, so I drilled the air hole to 1.5mm and it vapes like a champ. Great throat hit, bags of flavour and loads of vapour.
The quality is a not on par with the Aga as it is made from cheaper materials, but it doesn't leave the PV top heavy.

You turn your battery off by pushing the button 5 times, it could be that. Sometimes mine flashes and turns itself off which is usually a sign that it needs charging but if I turn it on again it will last a fair while longer before it dies completely.

I've never turned mine off, and don't notice anything weird happening. Is the button overly sensitive?
It's not turning off, As when I go to press it again straight back on.
For example my standard ego 900 Mah battery hold the button down for 10 seconds and remains engaged new ego twist 1300 Mah battery 6-7 seconds through flashes on and off I then have to press it back down and start again as if it's some sort of safety feature.
Just ordered some ribbon kanthal wire, been meaning to try it a while. £4.20 for 10m delivered, bargain. Still got a few metres of 32 AWG from my last 10m buy over a year ago and I gave loads of that away.
I went for the 0.3 ribbon wire.
Got to get a grip now, after not buying any Vape gear for months, I buy a few things and next I am right in the mod makers forums, looking to pounce on the next upcoming shiny. Oh but man there is some nice work about. Foggarti T22, new Paps and Atmomixani's Nemesis had me ready to camp by my PC ready for sales. Right where I snap out of it.
Was reading through this thread again and as you say Devrij, very addictive this vaping malarkey.

1% nicotine means that there's 10mg per ml, obviously it isn't exact since 1g=1ml when talking about water, but it's what they mean (stuff from Liberty Flights is sold as 18/24mg or whatever, but on my 24mg/ml bottles it has 2.4%)

Like you say it's a safety feature, an annoying one, but probably necessary since people don't turn if off when it's in their pockets and it can just be left pressed down the whole time
.I made my first batch of e liquid but not totally happy.
I found my every day vape in the Liberty Flights XO PG 8mg Strawberry liquid, so im trying to recreate that. Although im missing the main ingredient, the strawberry flavouring im trying to find the right nic levels. I could only get hold of Peach flavouring.
I don't mean to say the XO range is less nic that it states, but I found making 8mg DIY liquid to be too strong, slight head ache and bit harsh on the throat. I've definitely got the right amount of nic in the mix (every calculator stated for 8mg strength it need to be 1.5ml of liquid (54mg base strength). I've been putting in just 20% VG which is suppose to give the throat hit, so next time ill only add 10% of VG.
I've tried to ask LF how they make their liquid but they don't know, I found they get it from ENjuice but they don't reply to my emails.
So its up to me to try to find the balance. By reducing the vg content and maybe a bit of the nic am I going in the right direction?
I use a needle and syringe to pull out the nic juice to 1.5ml. I'm wondering if the amount that is held in the needle (which is quite thick) might be putting me up to above 8mg strength. Maybe also when XO liquid is made they might skimp on the nic a bit? But that's an unfounded accusation!
Now im confused. ENjuice just emailed me to say they don't supply LF. Is there more than one ENjuice company??

I know how you feel lol
Not only were ecigs meant to save me money aswell as help stop smoking the nasties, but I'm finding I'm always buying stuff to try out because they are new and shiney. But until you experiment you'll never find out what or why things are decent in this game.
The saying "don't knock it until you try" it applies here.
You've named some quality stuff there and belongs among the elitist group of vapeing community, just how the Titan is for computing enthusiasts.
Still I save about £40 a week (which is based on vaping 2X10ml bottles in a week instead of buying a pack of 20 fags a day)
Top end vaping gear will always sell and some even sell way above the rrp.
Get on the vaping forums and keep an eye out on group buys, it's a good way to get good (off the shelf) gear for a fraction of the price.
I know most of you will call it madness especially after I got a Provari, but after trying a mechanical PV it's where I want to be.
The super T telescopic and Hellfire Mini are what I want to buy next aswell as buying a Paps.
As I'm gaming less and less nowadays mainly because there isn't anything decent out and due to giving up cigs I've joined the gym and gone back to Akido these desriable PV's are a treat to myself and to add to my collection.
It's strange because e-cigs have dramatically changed my lifestyle, and has become one of my main interests.
Returning my Ego Twist, Has a 7 seconds cut out feature which is fine but for example If I take a draw then second time round it decides to cut out after 3/4 seconds.
They are willing to refund it, just a pain of waiting and the fact I have to folk out some extra postage!
Anyone use a Twist which dosen't have cut out times as short as this one?

PG is what gives you more throat hit, so maybe try mixing MORE VG and less PG.
Can you list the exact quantities of everything you're using at the minute? Also, I find that most liquids need at least a few hours to mix anything close to a usable state.

Some pointers from what I've read:
1. Be very strict and precise with the measurements when using micotine concentrates and bases (PG/VG).
2. Use Ethyl (something) crystals to enhance flavour.
3. PG gives more throat hit and flavour
4. VG mutes the throat hit; gives less flavour but gives a large vapor production.
5. Depending on the VG/PG ratio you may need to dilute with distilled water or vodka
6. Steeping allows the flavour to mature. Leave it for a week minimum before vaping to allow the juice to mix.
7. In order of performance the following juice delivery systems will give more of a throat and flavour hit
- Genesis style (best)
- Clearomizer
- Atomizer
- Cartomizer (least best)
8. Ensure that any utensels you use are clean before mixing, to prevent contamination.
9. If using expensive flavours, try mixing a couple of ml instead of the whole bottle, in case the flavour/taste is not to your liking.
10. Visit forums, websites etc to find out what receipies work well for other people. Alchameist Cupboard is a good start.
11. Source UK only bases and nicotine. Buying from China for example may be mixed with unknown substances.
12. If you are trying to recreate a liquid then there should be some labelling on the bottle to give you an idea of ratios, nic content etc. If not look on the Brand's website.
Just got some info back from LF. They mix up to 35% VG into their PG mixes. So I guess it goes something like this (using the calculator from their site).
PG with Nicotine: 1.5 15%
PG zero Nicotine: 3.8 38%
VG: 3.5 35%
Flavouring: 1.2 12%
They also say they don't use ENJuice anymore, they use their own flavours, but if they mix the flavours with anything else they didn't say. Once they get some back in stock ill buy one of each and play.
I just made up a batch, before I got their email, with 20% VG rather than 10% in my original mix. Ill leave it for a while to do its thing. The 20% VG mix is definatally thicker. If I was to add distilled water into the mix would I take say a ml or 2 off the PG and add the same of water?

It's either 1 or 10% distilled water you add to the base. I can't remember which.
