Eleaf Melow & a couple old school carto tanks on the way from China

This Melow tanks getting some excellent reviews...cheap too!! Always fancied trying a carto so can't wait to give it a go

Thinking of sacking this Zamplebox subscription and just stick to UK vendors like Kraken & Vaper Caper, is it me or do all these US juices taste the same? I must have 7 or 8 bottles here from different brands and all taste the same! Yeah time to bin it!!

Have seen quite a few complaints on POTV regards a lot of American juices tasting similar, almost as if you can taste the base through the flavourings.

I can thoroughly recommend El Diablo juices - I've had passionbomb, beelzebub and lime cream cupcake, flavour is exceptionally good on them all, and I've historically struggled to taste a lot of juices.

Ordered some more JaX vanilla custard, raspberry doughnut, rhubarb, and blueberry;£25 delivered for 3 x 30ml. Looking forward to trying them as have only tried his straight custard previously.

Pay day tomorrow, going to order an SMPL clone from FT to go with my Derringer.

Don't get this one wherever you do! Worst mod I've bought

This GP Paps clones good

Closely followed by the Da Iron clone but you'll have to drill a couple vent holes as it's supposed to vent through the button but mine didn't!! Had a Efest purple vent on be last year....wooooOOOSH!!!!! not nice!!!

Mind you saying about that venting afore Dave!It's this one https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10010820/19436...

Mrs isn't happy about me buying a mech with the wee fella around, but it'll be for occasional use only with my Derringer or Marquis clones, and kept well away with no battery/atty attached.
Was at a 50's themed wedding on Saturday and the SMPL/Derringer combo with a bit of having to drip procedure could have been a modern interpretation of the tobacco pipe pampering of the 50's

I posted this in the holidays section a while back but got a load of answers from non vapers.

Im off to Disney Paris in the morning and flying from Exeter with Flybe. Ive heard some things about their policy on ecigarettes and not being able to take eliquid onboard in either the cabin or hold luggage. Has anyone on here any experiences with this? 

[Sway]

Last used FlyMaybe 18 months ago from Southampton, but the stewardess asked for a suck on mine...

Afterwards she let me use my ecig!

I'm after a little advice please chaps

I've been on a vision spinner and mini viva nova for the best part of 2 years and I've just taken the plunge and bought an iStick 30w which should be with me today, but I'm not sure on what to replace the viva nova with? If it helps, I like to rebuild with new wicks and coils at home, but I'm not sure what to buy? The aerotank and nautilus seem to keep cropping up, with the latter seeming to be more popular, but rebuilding it is a bit more of a faff. I realise there are RDA's but the cost of these is somewhat more than I'm willing to spend and I'm not quite sure if the sub-ohming is for me either.

Thanks

The Nautilus mini is a popular choice and is what I use with shop bought replacement coils.

How about the Kanger mini sub tank, its not going to break the bank at £24.99
http://myepack.co.uk/clearomizers/subtank-mini.htm...

You can run it as a standard tank with premade coils or buid your own on the supplied deck. The standard coils are huge if you want to rebuid them, or you can just coil you own on the deck. You don't have to sub ohm, im just using the standard 1.2ohm coil but you just buid it to suit you.

Not much help but I flew Ryanair 10 days ago and didn't even put my ecig in the clear bag of liquids - just left it in my jacket pocket through x-ray and onto the plane, no trouble.

Be interested to hear how you get on as I am flying Flybe next week.

Many thanks for that Cotty. Quick look and saw a rebuild guide from Rip Tripper and one has been purchased an on my way to me

From the Flybe site http://www.flybe.com/baggage/exceptional-baggage.h... Bottom of the page:

"Electronic, water vapour cigarettes:
Refills (bottles of nicotine) are not allowed on board the aircraft."

Decant your liquid in to something else, an eye drops bottle or something similar. From reading elsewhere, apparently the bottles and clearos/tanks are prone to leaking when pressurised.

He is nuts. Which guide was it, the square coil or the RBA section?

Err.. pass, think it was his RTA rebuild one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8rO6PoMgU4

Bollah This is not the sort of tank that I would recommend to most people but if you are building your own coils then I am assuming you know what you are doing ohm wise. If you have not got one already I would recommend getting an ohm reader to check your coil before putting it on a battery. If you are building your own coils and maybe thinking of sub ohming which you can do with the istick 30w and Kanger sub tank I suggest you join http://ukvapers.org/ as they can give you so much more advice than I can.

If you did want a little cheap dripper, this is quite good

Well I made it through security with no questions asked. Even had a little juice still in the atty. Hopefully the juice in the hold will still be there when I get to Charles de gaulle

Thinking I'll give a subtank mini a try. Anyone using one with a Aspire Sub Ohm battery or similar? Don't fancy the size of the box style batteries.

I have used the Aspire Premium starter kit http://www.cloud9vaping.co.uk/Aspire-Premium-Kit but to be honest there are bettery battries around. The attomiser on top is quite good so might be better to buy the bits seperately. Unfortunately the isick (battery) is very popular at the moment and I can't find on in stock anywhere.

There is a slightly cheaper Aspire kit
http://www.vapeclub.co.uk/vape-club-electronic-cig... The tank holds less juice and it has a smaller battery but I still use one for out and about.

Started using a vape last week after smoking heavily for many years( Red Marlboro out and Golden Virg inside) with the intention of using the vape inside and only smoking proper ciggies while out at work etc.
Spur of the moment bought a cheap kit from a petrolstation and have to say at first was not impressed as it tasted like I was smoking a chemical however these last 3 days or so normal ciggies are tasting lousy and the vape is tasting better so I am pretty pleased and very surprised.
The only thing I found is I am vaping pretty often so am hoping this might subside.
Meanwhile I have ordered an upgrade after quite a lot of research and looking at pics etc, the NatureVape mini Pro Set which seems to get good reviews.
Shall see how I get on with it when it arrives.

That's usually why I try to suggest a decent kit to start with. The cheap kit plus the naturvape set up you have to have spent £50-60 whereas the £40 nature vape is all you would have needed. Although this has backfired on me, I bought this starter kit http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/Deluxe-Vaping-Kits/Asp... for someone who vaped one liquid and didn't like the taste so binned the idea. I actually gave them a selection of flavours and strengths but they tried one and knocked the idea on the head.

Most people chain vape at first, ill will subside. if you start to get a bit of a buzz like chain smoking cig might give you, lower the nicotine level in your juice.

That looks like a decent kit for £39.99 http://www.naturevape.co.uk/store/#!/NatureVape-Pr... I have not tried them myself but have heard good things about the Naturevape tanks and coils. Although I will say a 650mah battery is a little on the small side for vaping all day. Perhaps see how you go and get a second battery if you can't get though the day on one. Like I say the istick battery in 20w, 30w and 50w versions are very popular for good reason. Check out some of the reviews on YouTube
