3. Sorry, you'll have to repeat that. Cleaning? When the mouthpiece looks a bit stty it'll get a wipe with a baby wipe. Full strip down etc. I haven't bothered in about 23 months!

Some of us or clearly less hygienic than others...

I clean my tank/mouthpiece probably once a week in lukewarm water. Takes about 2 minutes.

I wash mine out under the hot tap when changing juice. However I have just bought a sonic cleaner so they will all be run though that at some point.

Where are people going for 100% VG at the moment? I got given a couple of 10ml's from Velvet Cloud and they are very nice. Liked the denser fog it produced. They are based in San Francisco which just feels like a PITA to order from.

As I understand it, it the PG content that gives you the throat hit... 100% PG must be a throat ripper surely?

So - have gone for the 5ml Aspire Nautilus BDC clearomiser (+ pack of 5 spare coils) and the nemesis mechnical mod with 3 x 1860 batteries and charging cradle.

I have that set up, I would suggest swapping the BDC (bottom Dual Coil) fo the newer BVC (bottom vertical coil). They are backwards compatable.

Also is you get some of the smaller 18350 batteries, you can run the Nemasis in mini me mode by taking a section out.

Cotty, I'm running BDC coils on a Billet Bridge, am having to punch an extra hole in them to prevent dry hits...

Do you think the BVCs would work? They don't have the 'sleeve' around the coils do they?

[Tonsko]

Ah, nice one. I did want to get the bvc, but could only seem to find the nautilus mini tank with that. Good to know they're interchangeable, as it was never really that clear.

Also - I tend to go for lower resistance coils by and large, as I feel this gives more or a vape. Is this the point of lower resistance?

Well worn excuses of the grubby. I bet you don't bleach your dishcloths either?

Now that's just taking it too far, even for me. Bloody clean freak!

I love the idea of being so gadget mad that you buy one just to clean the others.

I vape 80% PG and it's fine. Anything less than 60% I find far too thin personally and the amount of vape produced it just silly.

[Origin Unknown]

My current favorite is a 80/20, I believe PG/VG respectively, but the 100% VG is really nice. The liquid is lot thicker, are you saying the amount of vapour is silly because there is so much of it?

Infact I did feel like I was putting in 10W40

[SWoll]

Exactly, you look like a steam train walking down the street.

You also need to be careful with what clearo you use with 100% VG as well I believe?

Bog gets bleached, anything else takes it's chances

For 100% VG I use http://www.paradisevapeuk.co.uk/ I asked on another forum if it was a little expensive over other juice suppliers. The responses I received were, yes it is a bit more than usual but as I vape 100% VG at 6mg of nicotine, its an unusual combination but if it works then go for it.

The VG liquid is a lot thicker.

The steam train thing? It all depends how you take the vapour in and blow it out. I can stealth vape on 100% VG i.e. no vapour

May i ask why? I am going to try 100% vg will it not work with all clearo,s ?

It works fine with cleros. Certain flavours regardless of the pg/vg ratio have been known to crack plastic tanks but a switch to glass fixes this

Hi guys. Have been vapiing for several months now. I started with a VIP photon tank, but got seriously fed up with the CE5's they supply giving me a burnt taste.

I upgraded to a Totally wicked T-scope two weeks ago and love the BDC tank. Far superior in taste and vapour.

What tank can I put on my VIP Ego battery that will be compatible? Be far more practical for work than the T-scope, but the CE5's from VIP are utter gash. Will the Aspire Nautilus fit?

Thanks in advance.

[Tonsko]

If it has the '510' connection, it will fit.

[VEA]

Is it that one? If so, pretty much anything should be compatible. The Nautilus will fit yes.

[Original Poster]

Can someone explain tanks, coils, atomisers etc to me please? I really don't understand them.

I'm in the process of buying a Provari and searching for a suitable tank is confusing me no end, am I right in thinking I could buy something like the Kanger Aerotank V2 and a couple of spare coils to replace say once a week?

All this talk of priming, rebuild able etc has thrown me right off what I thought I understood!
