I really like my Sigelie but but its a bit big to use out and about. Watch the threads some people on UKVapours have had issues with them wearing. I tend to leave the base of the tank attached when filling.

Thanks Cotty, the Sigelei is a nice size/weight for me. The tank is fking huge though! I'll save that for home and use the mini naught out and about, seems to be ok at 5W but tastes horrible above that.

So I've had this set up a day and I love it! Wish I'd bought something decent at the beginning. I feel like I've wasted a lot of money on cheaper stuff just to end up with something I'm happy with.

One odd thing though... I bought a juice called Frisco yesterday, 6ml nic, tried it and it was rank, really not nice. Woke up this morning and thought I'd give it one last go before getting rid and I'm liking it a lot, which leads me on to asking about the custards, I've stayed away mainly because, well re, I don't like custard but given that my taste buds seem to get used to some weird stuff which would anyone recommend?

I fancied a change so just ordered a replacement tank for the Nautilus Mini
should look good with the straight drip tip I have coming

Had this for a couple of weeks, not impressed. Its the same diameter as the glass tank but because it has glass inside it reduces the capacity. Plus it leaks like the colander it looks like. Maybe its an osmosise effect where it leaks at the bottom and the juice creeps up between the glass and the metal but every time you grip the tank to unscrew it you get juice on your fingers.

I go through the same as you twing, one day I do not like a juice next day its a different story.
Got 4 new ones yesterday and out of the 4 only found 1 that I can live with and my collection continues, in a month have acumulated about 40 different juices which a lot taste of chemicals which I cannot stand.
My fav vape is Puros and I put in a few drops of puros dark to give it a kick, those are both tobacco flav ones so not what you are looking for.
If you want weird flav try the sample pack from B-juice, out of the sample pack I have found 2-3 that I shall reorder just for the time I do not want to vape the tobacco flav.

Thats the problem I have run into lots of times. I myself was guilty of this, bought cheap stuff found it was crap, bought better stuff found it was better.

People don't want to spend money in case they don't like it. I bought an Aspire starter kit (K1 version) for a freinds parents. Gave them a few juices to try. They tried one and said they didn't like the flavour. banghead

I now use that kit every day.

"Happy with" I say that often but as soon as I start browsing things change, so may toys out there.
I have already bookmarked the next build I want.
So far am enjoying the Kayfun 3.1 mostly which was a pain at the start but got it sorted now, also got the 2.1 to go with the Gizmo which works pretty well however the 3.1 is so much better.

I've just found a cracker TX1 ... Kryptonite by Cosmic Fog, £8.50 for 15ml and it's made my day. Little bit watermelon, little minty and sometimes bubblegum, all muted and not too sweet.

Lol! This getting expensive,eh? Lad in the shop today had one he'd built. 50W dropper jobby with 50VG (wotever that means) juice. He let me try it and it was on another level! I took a huge, long pull and it was pure flavour, no burn at all and looked like London's Burning when I exhaled. At £180 and having to build coils I'm not sure I'll ever be bothered to go that far but it goes to show how much can be done. I love going into these shops, really good service and friendly, helpful staff, I wish all shops were like the vape ones. Not sure if I'm allowed to mention names here so I won't.

He ment the ratio of VG (vegetable glycerin) to PG (propylene glycol) in his juice. so 50% VG and 50% PG

I know this is the 'pro-vape' thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has stories of kicking the analogue ciggies by vaping and then kicking the vaping soon after.

I'm using the vaping to break the habit of actually smoking, not just the smokes but that actual act of going for/having a smoke, and I think after 3 weeks I'm getting there. The next goal is to drop the vaping. I'm currently on 18mg juice and it seems to be fine - I suppose I'll drop down to 12mg, then 6 mg etc... and wean myself off the nicotine.

hehe

There are more than a few who've done exactly that... If you find the step between available juices is too much, a fifty/fifty mix halves the difference.

My advice would be to slow down.

First thing is to remove tobacco from your life.

When that has been done then SLOWLY reduce the nicotine in your liquid.

I started on 36mg and have gradually reduced it to 12mg but that has been over more than two years.

My next target is 6mg but I'm in no rush, I'm just glad to be off the fags.

If you try to accelerate the process you could find yourself popping into the garage late one night for 20 Bensons.

Noted.

Vaping, or rather selling the gear, is illegal here in Dubai, so there's not much choice of the E-Cigs and the only place I've found that has a wide choice of juice is a real pain in the arse to go to - it's at least an hour round trip at the quietest time at the weekend - a good couple of hours during the week. Also, there's the risk of it being confiscated when going through the airport.

This is why I'd really like to just bin it.

I had one of the coils, or whatever it's called, fail last week, so I only have one left now. If that goes, I think I'll just have to cold turkey it.

I have zero interest in ever smoking again.

Aaaargh, the threads have gone in my iStick20w, any reccomendations for a VV/VW box mod below £50 please? - THe istick has lasted well, so I could go for the 30w, just wondering if there are any more robust solutions.

The threads in the iStick 30w are supposed to be greatly improved over the 20w

I've not had any problems with the old one. Use it daily too.. saying that, I've got a 30 too and it does seem better put together.
