Yeah, that's the issue. All the best juices are premix, so I'm really itching for something decent that doesn't cost an arm and a leg as premix. So concentrates only plx

Looks good! The choice between the V2 and V3 vamos is a bit tricky. The V3 is superior in a couple ways (minor mostly), so that extra $8 is up to you. Both good kits though. The ego + nova combo would make a nice "out and about" kit for nights out, but if I'm honest I just pocket my vamo in mini-mode and have a spare batt in my pocket. Again, a personal choice, but it's hard to go back to 3.7V batts when you have tasted variable voltage!
As far as 18350 batteries for the mini mode, something like this would be perfect

Didn't spend much time digging for prices so you may find something UK based for similar.
Oh yeah, be sure to check the drop-down box is set to the right colour! I made the mistake of getting chrome when I wanted stainless steel!

There are a select few juices (namely citrus, but there's a list here) that are known to crack polycarb tanks, but I've yet to have it happen to me.
I know, it'll kill me waiting. I was planning on an accelerated steep with the old hot water trick, then maybe leave them a couple days. What's your method?
Nice one Devrij, i take it u are going to make some vanilla custard?
If so can u grab a bottle of Perfumers Apprentice French Vanilla Deluxe? as it makes a big difference.

and Apple pie and custard?
Awesome, that should be very handy indeed!
My first broken Vamo was from UK, and my current one is vapourbreak, but I think dropping any of them enough times is gonna do the job. You could always try the SVD this time (I must admit I was tempted). Same price from fasttech and seems to be the legit version.
The only thing I would double check, purely because someone at work thought he'd read something about it, is the fact that the SVD doesn't use PWM, so in theory can use more battery (although should have more consistent voltage if I'm correct). I've never heard anyone complain about battery life in the SVD, but I would double check just in case.
Shouldn't be too much of an issue, I vape on low voltage and low resistance and have 2 x 18650s and a an eGo-T as backup
Well, if you get it, let me know how it compares because I'm sorely tempted!
j.col, don't tell me 5 weeks! That's not what I need to hear
I'll almost certainly crack under the pressure and vape it all straight away lolCheers dude.
The only time i missed smoking was the next morning with a strong coffee.
I dont know why i didnt switch over sooner tbh.
I sent you a pm with the link as there are only 2 left in stock
@Jay
Maybe.
Maybe pick yourself up a nice coffee liquid. I always loved decadent vapours' cafe braziliano.
On another note, my capella concentrates arrived today!
One vote for the first post to be amended to this
I'd be happy to update it. It is a bit dated at this point, but everything changes so quickly with vaping! If anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly take them on board. I'll clear out the dead links and outdated recommendations when I get a moment on my pc.
That kit would be grand. Flavours can take a bit of experimentation (as does nicotine strength) so it might be worth getting a selection or at least two different ones. Tobacco liquids often taste more like a pack of cigarettes smells rather than how a cig tastes, so don't fall for big claims that they taste like B&H etc. There are some very realistic flavours out there, but theyre a bit pricey (eg el Toro el cigarillos, which is amazing).
Let me know what you think of it!
You'll be happy with it. I love mine.
I haven't vaped those specific liquids, but given the rave reviews, I think there may be some experimentation to be done.
I would definitely consider playing with voltage, as gurgling can be a sign that you're drawing more liquid onto the wick than the coil can vapourise. 4.2V generally is the high end though, so if you start getting a burnt taste, back it off quickly to avoid burning the juice. Some flavours like a cooler coil too (usually fruity flavours) so excessive volts can reduce the flavour. Experiment a bit and see how you go. Also, check that no liquid has dripped down the centre post to the contacts of the Vamo, as this can really reduce the current going to the coil.
As above, try different ways of drawing on your ecig. Unlike a burning smoke, drawing harder doesn't = more vapour, as the coil can only vapourise so much at a certain voltage. Long slow draws (experiment here) are the rule of thumb.
I know some chaps have spoken about removing a part of the wick in the protank to improve flavour (I could be getting mixed up with the Evod here though) so perhaps someone who uses the protank could offer some advice here.
The only solution is to recoil the heads yourself. The "legs" of the coil are held in place by a rubber bung, and as the coil heats up, so do they. If you recoil the head yourself you can double up the legs, halving their resistance, and make sure they don't get that hot.
I do love the el Toro juices, but I just can't justify paying for juice anymore. Besides, a chap I work with steeps his own tobacco and sorts me out 50ml here and there. It's quite nice, but it gunks up my rest in a matter of days. My VC mix is only on day 3 of steeping and I'm getting anxious already! I mixed up a wee 10ml batch of graham cracker that I'm going to dive into when I finally finish this lotus flower.
I use 400, but I haven't tried anything else so there may be something better. It just seems really easy to set up (well, as easy as a Genny can be) so I can't see anything better to replace it just yet. I'm considering a second for experimenting on while keeping one working coil intact! Would make swapping juices a bit easier too.
That's exactly the experience I had. After countless popped coils and shorts, suddenly a veil was lifted and all became simple. It still requires the odd twist and pulse (not the dancing guys) to sort out the occasional short when you first put the wick in, but after that it's plain sailing. I will, however, admit that 4 wraps seems to be much trickier than 3.
You'll be surprised at how easy it is once you've done it a few times. The best advice is just make sure the coils don't touch each other or the side of the head. After that it's just a case of poking the legs in, popping the bung in and shipping off the excess wire.
Yeah I hate metal drip tips. They look great, but don't feel nice.
V_R, I suggest 0.4 ribbon kanthal wire and 400 mesh to start with. I get a 1.8ohm coil with 4 wraps with that setup and everything seems to wick fine. I actually use the ink tube from a ballpoint pen since I don't have a drill bit, but a drill bit would be better. I tend to wrap the coil in situ rather than connecting it afterwards.

For that you could get a decent starter kit. On my phone at the minute, so can't link, but if you go over the last few pages you'll find a link to one for £26. You could order a kit from fasttech (Asia so slow delivery) that has two evod atomisers and two batteries for very little as well.
