Just ordered the 100ml variety bundle fron the Lancaster Steam Co, looking forward to trying them.

I would be interested to hear what you think of them. I have tried 3 different juices but only liked 2.

Gone with; little Moscow, Apple bobbin, bah humbug, the governor, the governess and boiled watter. I'll let you know.....

I was just wondering what you thought. I really like Apple bobbin and re-ordered 30ml. Boiler Watter Its really odd but ordered another 10ml

Last year, for various bad reasons, I stupidly fell off the nicotine wagon after seven or eight years clean. At the weekend I popped into The Puffin Hut in Wootton Basset and asked what I needed to get started. They were brilliant, sorted me out with a Smok T-Dux 2.0 and three juices. They let you try the juices before you buy, and explain how everything works.

Tried smoking a fag this evening - couldn't finish it, tasted like st. Converted.

So far, I've spent about £60 (bought some more juices and spare coils) and have saved £40 in fags not bought. Brilliant. It shows just how short sighted (and perhaps puritanical) anti-smoking campaigners and the smoking cessation industry are that it never occurred to them to offer a harm reduction product that was actually enjoyable.

Current favourites are Hangsen Irish Cream, Menthol Sensation and Watermelon.

I have been in that shop, very nice too, bought some stuff.

Glad to hear you're converted, stick at it, chain-vape if you need to at first, anything to keep you away from tobacco.

Hangsen juices are not bad, I use them myself, but there are much better liquids available if you want to spend a little more money, I am currently enjoying liquids from VapeGB.

I have one of those Smok T-Dux 2.0 tanks and very good it is, very good capacity.

However, you can improve them a million percent by using Naturevape heads in them, not only are they a much better vape but they last flipping ages because you can re-wick them with cotton wool for ever it seems like. Instruction video on their site. Naturevape heads are highly regarded in the vaping community.

Might try that, although it isn't running the standard head - that came in the box with it, but they supplied a different Smok one they reckoned was better. I might try the original one when this one dies.

I will definitely investigate other juices once I've been through all their range

Weird shopping experience - like something between a juice bar, a real ale pub and an Apple Store. So different from buying fags where you aren't even allowed to see the merchandise, as if you're buying something shameful. It's strange to enjoy servicing a nicotine habit with something that isn't antisocial, dirty and likely to kill me.

New cartos you say? Wonder if that's the siluro rebuildable that's been getting hyped by the BB geeks...

Cheers for the heads up, I'll be having a look see.

What's the opinion on the best coils for the nautilus mini? Ive just been using the standard aspire ones since I got it a few weeks ago and am finding (as with others on here) that they are burning out within a couple of days.

Just had a butchers. Seem to be flangeless cartos with nature vape coils? I've requested one to test, be interesting to see how they compare to the bvc coils I'm currently using...

Lots of billet box excitement at the moment - the release of a rebuildable for the box, a BB adaptor kit for the Sophia (which I loved on my old mvp2.0 until snake oil killed the stupidly expensive tank...) and the potential for high quality dna25 conversions. It's earned a bit of love - I accidentally launched it over a mezzanine. Two storey drop onto concrete and nothing more than a little ding on one corner!

Try turning the power down. I have never burnt out a coil.

I'm only really on 8-9w most of the time, occasionally higher but only for weaker tasting juice.

Could it be down to how often I change juice? I got through a tank a day (on average) so wash the whole thing out each morning to put a new flavour in, I'm starting to think perhaps I'm leaving surface rust on the coil?

[stevoknevo]

Aspire have released a revision of the Nautilus BVC coils - far bigger wicking holes and a deeper thread, nobody seems to know if it is wicked with organic cotton or still contains the ceramic wicking paper?

These were purchased from Vaper Caper http://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/forums/ecig-disc...

Well bought my first rebuildable today.

Saw the RB-X5 on the Totally Wicked website for £35, which came included with a little screwdriver, 1m of resistance wire, 1m of wick and a load of spare bits for the tank. Oh and a free bottle of their juice which is usually £4.99. Simple enough for a beginner to rebuild and with all the spare kit, it's a fantastic way to get into rebuildables.

Performs amazingly, loads of flavour, very airy and a huge amount of vape. Came already built at 1.1ohm.

Glad to see the back of the Nautilus to be honest, I've kept it as a spare but don't think I'll be using it unless I really have to.

Bought some extra wire too, so can't wait to start building my coils and experimenting with it.

I bought a new aspire k1 a few weeks ago along with a pack of coils and I noticed the bigger holes in the coils. Problem is the air holes are also bigger and no resistance when you draw in and less vapour which is how I noticed the coils. Thought they were fakes until your post

[treehack]

What's the best method for cleaning tanks?
Hade some orange liquid in my mini nautalis, washed it out and used a new atomizer but everything has a faint hint of orange about it. Just can't seem to get rid of it.

Pretty much anything cleromiser with a 510 thread will fit. I wouldn't touch anything sub ohm like the Aspire Atlantis (probably too big anyway). The Aspire mini Nautilus is what I use. Old pic but shows what it looks like.

Thanks Cotty!

Bought and fitted. Less visible vapour than the original tank (in my opinion but it seems to be weather and temperature variable anyway so I could be wrong) but a harder throat/lung hit. Happy!

I find I have to pre-power the coil before taking a hit whereas the previous tank I could just press and go. No problem, just a slightly different technique.

The quality of the Aspire is visibly higher than the tank it replaced - and I found out why the old one was leaking - hairline crack starting at the end of the thread on one end of the plastic "glass" bit. It was hidden by the end section.

Am I the only person too self medicate using menthol vapes for sinus problems during a cold? Better than a Fisherman's Friend!

[Cotty]

I tend to find the mini Nautilus is a little tight to undo (my fault I do them up tight), I tend to keep some needle nose pliers to undo them

If you like that you should try Boiler Watter
"A heady mix of eucalyptus and sweet cinnamon with a minty menthol note".

Just ordered the 100ml special from Lancashire Steam...

20ml each of Boiler Watter, the Governor and Governess, Apple Bobbin and Tarts Tipple.

Looking forward to getting them.

Also thinking of getting the conversion kit so I can use my barely tried Sophia atty in my Billet Box.

Anyone got comparisons between the BVC coils and the Sophia before I spend the dosh?

Boiler Watter - bonkers, I shouldn't like it, but on my second 10ml bottle
The Governor - great strong lemon flavour, used 40ml so far
Governess - got a 10ml bottle but not tried it yet
Apple Bobbin - bloody lovely, you get the apple and spices with the rum on the exhale
Tarts Tipple - 10ml bottle but not tried it yet
Dipstick - 10ml bottle but not tried it yet

Good to know, should like all of them then!

Do they need steeping or are they full of punch out the envelope?

Good to go, obviously you can't try all at the same time so some will sit before you use them. Whether that helps or not ill let you decide.

A little heads up for the coil-builders among you. This lot have started doing a wide range of twisted Kanthal:
