also ordered some gremlin vanilla custard after reading all the hype about it, hope i havent had my expectations raised to high though!

If you like VC then you'll love this one

I find it best around 1.6/1.7ohms and not too hight wattage or it can get a burnt taste. I've just made up 60ml of the cloned versions to try out. Meant to be very close to the original

I bought the Aspire kit Cotty posted to the other week - CF G-Power battery, K1 atomiser and BVC coil kit. This is my first tank full of juice so just carried on puffing it until it ran dry! Assumed that was the right thing to do particularly as I didnt want to refill with the same first try of juice.

Worth getting a second tank mate, I tend to have 2 or 3 on the go with different flavours so I don't get bored with the same juice or at worst have 'vapers tongue' again.....had it 3 times now and it's a bd to get rid of

I've burnt a few coils myself this week on the nautilus mini with istick! I keep whacking the wattage up on some juives and it really brings out the flavours....but also risk burning the coil if you go too high

Have you tried http://www.digbysjuices.co.uk/product/moriyas-mix/ to get rid of it? Works for me after maybe a couple of mls.

Yep that's in the arsenal

I fancy getting some more Digbys now you've mentioned it

I've had two of the Eleaf iSticks delivered today. As posted earlier by others, a fantastic piece of kit indeed. Now set at 4v which seems to be the right level for me. Just waiting to see how long one charge lasts for. Has anyone used Simplyeliquid.co.uk? They look reasonably priced and have an interesting flavour range.

Thanks chap - will order a second tank. Not sure what you mean by vapers tongue but will google it!

Is there a process for cleaning out a tank? Or can I just disassemble the thing, leaving the coil in place and wash it over with water to get rid of the last eliquid? Leave it to dry or just refit slightly wet and refill with the new liquid? Had a cursory look online for a guide to no avail.

i've had my istick a week now and got 5 days use on one charge. awesome bit of kit, but it is a little big for my liking

Don't try the iTaste MVP battery then if you find the istick a little on the large side!! Really pleased with the longevity of the battery, what's different from previous batteries for it to last so long? The MVP is twice the size yet will last me one day at most.

Lovely 30ml bottle of Digby's Apple and Cinnamon Pudding came today

The pipettes that come in the bottles are terrible though, they've got a strange ball thing on the end which makes it difficult to fit into small gaps.

Vapours tounge is when you can't taste what you are vaping on flavour wise.
Munki Serum or Chilled Munki Slime should help cure it
http://www.vapemunki.co.uk/Gourmet_Range/cat226868...

Cleaning wise I used to just disassemble the thing and run it under a warm tap then leave to try over night. toss the coil its only a pound or two
I bought myself a cheap jewellery cleaner and run it though a cycle with a couple of drops of washing up liquid then rinse and leave to dry overnight, but then I have other tanks to use in the meantime.

Not heard of this until now but have had it. Think Ive been on pepermint to long. 3 days of not being able to taste my vape was considering quiting but added some fruit I had stashed and managed to get some taste back

Ah, so if I finish a flavour and want to refill with a different one, I have to disassemble the tank, throw away the BVC (get me and my lingo!), wash out the tank and leave it to dry overnight?!

Blimey, perhaps I shouldnt have gone so mad in buying about 10 different liquids when I first bought the thing and stuck with the same one.

You can keep the same BVC, but you will just get a bit of flavour mix until the juice on the wicking material get used up and the new juice comes though.

Im just using the ends of bottles of juice at the moment so just chucking it in without washing. Got some apple and watermelon mixed up and will probably put in the last of a pear juice.

Thanks Cotty (and others) - invaluable learning process this. I'm vastly down on the real fags already and with the cold weather and recent large amount of travelling the aspire has been superb.

Just out of interest, why must the atomizer dry overnight before being refilled? Surely a touch of residue water in there will simply (very mildly) dilute the e-juice?

[telford_mike]

Another quick thanks to everyone on this thread. As a result of advice received about 50 pages ago I bought a couple of Innokin itaste v3s and a load of cheapo iClear 16s at the beginning of September.

Instantly went (on 2nd September) from 20+ Bensons a day to zero, feeling better and very pleased. Reckon I've cracked it now

Thanks again!

Its just something I do. I suppose you could take a bit of kitchen towel and dry it off and it would be fine. If I only had one tank that's probably what I would do. But when you have a few there is no urgency:

X2 Aspire Nautilus
X3 Aspire Nautilus Mini
X3 Kanger mini protank 3
X3 Kamry pipe tanks
X1 Aspire K1

Out of interest how do your reviews match those of velvetcloud.com ? I'm always suspicious of verbose descriptions of flavours (think Wine tasting) and then being disappointed when actually trying them myself. If you recommend after testing then will order some myself.

Give me a chance I only received them today That's 30ml of juice and I only go though about 3ml a day.

One of the juices I keep in one of my tanks at the moment is The Governor from http://www.lancashiresteamcompany.co.uk/shop.html
"This juice is a bitter sweet combo that cleans your pallet with strong lemon flavours" I agree, its a really nice lemon without being too bitter or too sweet. I now have a 30ml bottle and will be something I reorder. I also received The Governoress but not tried it yet its supposed to add strong fruit flavours but worried it might be a bit sweet for me time will tell.
