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

Prof! You'll have experience of this I'm certain...

What's your views comparing the Sophia atomiser (or the related HoM drippers which I think you had) with regular common or garden BVC coils?

Trying to decide whether to invest some cash in the barely used Sophia I have, or just stick with the plain Jane Aspire jobbies.

The Sophia is an excellent tank atomiser - it uses the same ceramic/coil/wick as the HoM eBaron Dripper (which is a stunningly good little atomiser). I'm not a great tank user (mainly use drippers) and the Sophia (and the Eviva) are the only tanks I ever use. Can't really compare it to the BVCs as I don't use them.

Realise that on this thread might get flamed, and sure all present company excepted, but really getting bloody sick of picking up empty e-vape liquid bottles. Got 4 during a half hour walk at SSSI today. Two more just slung over the garden fence last week. These inconsiderate clowns do your cause as much harm as cigarette butts everywhere.

Blimey, that'd piss me right off too. Just no need for it.

Fortunately where I am I've not seen any vaping litter - although I can see it becoming a problem like butts as I've noticed a large percentage of fairly new converts are doing it because vaping is cheaper than Lambert & Butler...

Which SSSI out of interest? *badum tish!*

Cheers chap, I think it'll be worth the twenty quid outlay for the conversion.

Struggled with it first time round, however I think a big part of that was trying to get juice control right for snake oil - think it would have benefitted from a little thinning.

Hartlebury common.

The puppy picked up one of the two that was slung over the fence and was giving it a good mouthing. Got that off him, whilst wondering wtf is this, life long non smoker so no clue about e-cigs and paraphernalia, the little bugger ran back under the hedge and got another one.

Now knowing what they are kept my eyes peeled on walks and they are rather common it seems.

fkers, not good for a puppy to be eating nicotine...

Hypothesising, but I wonder if it's kids disposing of the evidence, much like how I used to have a buried baccy tin under a bench in the local park? Seems an odd thing for an adult to just throw away, its not like there's any smell or mess with a sealed empty bottle.

Doesn't seem to have done the cause of eating crisps any harm. Sadly, filthy litter bugs seem to pervade any group you choose.

Maybe when we all still torched flammable materials to get our nicotine hit we might have flamed you, nowadays we'll have to settle for vaporising you wink

I jest; sadly, these vapers are the self same who would discard their empty cigarette packets in the same manner. Or any other detritus that they can't be arsed either sticking in their pocket or carrying until they find a bin frown

For the record, I've saved all my empty bottles for when I get around to making my own liquid; I've paid for them, I might as well use them.

Well after 4 attempts I finally built myself a decent coil.

First 2 were all wonky meaning they didn't burn evenly and the 3rd one ended up coming out at 0.5ohms for some reason, think it was because I did it too short. I did give it a go and all I can say is that the sub-ohm thing isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

The 4th came out nearly perfect and is at 1.1ohms, which is what I was aiming for. Just a shame I can't really enjoy it, as I've currently got tonsillitis. So it's back to the Nautilus and shallow mouth to lung drags.

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

Looking forward to getting them.
Did you receive them? They have pretty good turn around.

Yep, arrived a couple of days ago.

Just finished the tank of hangsen ste I bought to cover me, so mulling over which one to choose. Got a bit of a cold, so think boiler watter might be worth a punt.

Oh, and I cant believe that they've only sent me 100ml. I've got 10 '10ml' bottles, that look like 20ml ones to me. I'm probably wrong, but it feels like I've got double the amounts! Will check by how many tanks each bottle gives me - may just be thick glass...

Yep, just filled my needle tipped bottle (amd then my tank) with boiler watter...

Definitely about 10ml per bottle, but what a lovely 10ml! Looking toward to running through the five flavours I got.

For the price, I'm very happy.

Oh, amd if anyone wants the nice brown glass bottles with glass dripper caps I'll happily save them and chuck them in the post?

The glass bottles come in blue, green and brown.

Mine? Clear as a bell, after waking up with the 'thick' feeling at the back of my throat that is the signal my immune is fighting off the cold my missus has tried to infect me with!

Lovely flavour, bit like Fentimann's old school lozenges...

Ordered 30mls each of passionbomb, beelzebub and lime cup cake from El Diablo juices - introductory offer of 30ml for £10 plus 10% off using POTV10.

Also ordered 80ml of various flavours from LiQuid for my brother - a quid for 10ml. I've tried a few before and it's decent stuff for the money. Unfortunately, it gives me a headache.

I've ordered a selection from Lancashire Steam, which I'm looking forward to.

I was wondering if there are any decent savoury flavours and found this review of one - doesn't sound promising laugh
