My Innokin iClear 30 arrived yesterday so its been connected to my iTaste vv which is working great.
Sure is a beast of a clearomizer!
Also my El Toro Virginia Prime came yesterday. My first thoughts was it tasted a bit funny, but I thought I would give it benefit of the doubt and after reading about what people say about it (on uk vapers forum) getting better over time and 'steeping the juice' even though its pre-steeped it does seem to improve over time.
Today the juice does taste much better so it does make a difference if you leave it out to air a bit, which I did with the lid slightly off. After a few days it's meant to taste even better. Has anybody else noticed this with El Toro juices?
Can't comment on Virginia prime, but from recollection the el cigarillos was pretty consistent out of the bottle.

Which metro? I would be interested to see if it's one of ours.
I use 12mg nic/ml and vape a variety of flavours with that. I smoked about 15-20 a day for 14 years, and haven't smoked for 2 years now
Some people do phase out the nicotine and vape zero nic liquids though. The only reason I keep it in is because the nic content provides the majority of the throat hit, which is an important part of what makes a vape satisfying for me.Oh right, I'd read that if they are left lying down that the liquid can pool under the cap. Is that not the case? If so, I may have to give this a go! Until then I'll continue getting to grips with rewicking my novas, which has been fun. I tried to improvise a dual coil in parallel with two wicks and failed quite badly lol.
That's a nice haul there majnu! The nitecore charger is great. My first one died after a few charges, but I got it replaced quickly and all is well now (2yr warranty anyway).
Rizlaking, have you tried decadent vapours Cafe braziliano? So far my favourite coffee vape. Right now I'm vaping TW Columbia coffee, but it's definitely an acquired taste. No sweetness at all! Still not sure if I really like it or if I hate it
Gilbert, glad to hear you sorted your nova issues. New heads always taste a little bit plasticky, so maybe you just had to work through that?

Therein lies the problem for me. My PV sits on its side most of the time and I think that would bug me.
I've been using my vamo in mini mode for the last few days and I've enjoyed it fitting in pockets and such! Button placement isn't as nice, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I don't think the price is that bad tbh, considering it comes with two iclear 30 tanks and the unit itself is all stainless.
Biggest thing for me is I will be able to use different batteries.
I'm not sure what the difference is between the wattage and voltage, I would have thought they did the same job perhaps? I'll have to read up more on the reviews to find out.
I'll give you the tl;dr and technical explanations.
Tl;dr is that wattage is a measure of heat output, so you can find the sweet spot for your juice and change atties etc without having to fiddle with the settings. It adjusts voltage dynamically to produce the same heat.
Technical explanation is that V=I x R and wattage is a measure of work done that mostly corresponds to the current going through the coil (more current, I, roughly equals more heat). Where R is the resistance of your atty, raising volts also raises your current. When the coil in your atty heats up, however, its resistance increases. If the voltage stays the same then your current and heat output will also vary depending on the temp and material of the coil. Variable wattage adjusts the voltage as the temp fluctuates so it produces a more consistent vape. I quite like it and haven't gone back to VV. It's especially handy if you use several different devices, as you can just set the wattage to suit that juice and swap away.
I forgot to say that I just got round to mixing up my elderflower gold standard, and without steeping my first impression is this: floral perfume. It's very much elderflower, but I suspect it needs some time to mellow. I like it, but I feel like it is a bit too perfume-y. It's quite refreshing if you take that out of the equation though.
DC atties really shine on VV/VW devices. Generally I use around 4-4.3V on them depending on the juice.
Low ohms is always a good thing in my books. You could always run a higher voltage on a higher resistance coil, but as your battery drains it won't necessarily be able to output the voltage you set, so a lower red coil will give more consistent performance in theory.
I like the idea of an e-pipe for just chilling out, so if anyone has any suggestions for Mockingbird I may have to jump on that as well!
I picked up loads of all 3 dead cheap, but I can't remember the name of the site off the top of my head. I'll check when I get home.
Add these sites the the OP
They come in handy.
Good idea. If anyone has any good sites they use for DIY or for general shopping just post them up on here (I'll copy and paste a bunch for UKV when I'm not on my phone) and I'll add them to the OP. We'll try to keep them to reliable stores we've all used at some point if possible.
