That sounds fantastic - I like Martyn Parker (even if he did work on QVC)

I ordered some Manabush Chiricahua Sun and Two Arrows yesterday which arrived today, last night I ordered CYMore for myself, Crackberry, Callicustard, and Nipplejuice for the Mrs birthday from South Coast Vapes; I happened to mention to Tom that it was a pity his two new flavours aren't ready for public sale as my Mrs would love the God Yog (peach and apricot yoghurt) he PM'd me and included a bottle in my order! Top fella. He's doing 20% off until midnight Friday with SCV20 and has started doing 30ml unicorn bottles which brings postage down by £1.40.

Tonight's vape has mainly been SMPL/Snapdragon with Chiricahua Sun - lovely.

No reason I can't go higher, I just figured that I wouldn't need to. I'm currently vaping a 2.1ohm clearo at 3.4volts, which is 5.5 watts. I think the v2 Provari is limited to 15 watts, IIRC?

I've tried a friend's sub ohm setup, and it wasn't really for me. The draw was way too light. I like a fairly tight draw, and vape mouth to lung, same as I would with a rollie. I'm using 15mg juice.
I'm not chasing massive clouds, just a bit more flavour and nic intake, with some throat hit and warmth.

I'm thinking of a rebuildable because I can tailor the coil to my requirements.
Give a Taifun GT clone a try out (probably around £10-15 on fasttech but read the reviews and pick one of the better ones)

Easy to strip/clean/rebuild & coil.

Then there's drippers smile
Agree the Taifun GT is a good tank with a tight draw for mouth to lung but still kicks out some clouds.

Just trying a new juice. Got a sample bottle of Cuppa Chai from Lancashire Steam Company when I made a big order.
Its a bit different, wasn't sure at first but its growing on me. Nice mellow flavor, might get another bottle.
I got some as well, braved the 30ml from the off.. it's a lot better than 'Steamed Pudding' which I can only describe as a bit dry and savoury.. not what I'm after in an eliquid..

Started my DIY journey this week, £65 worth of ingredients and I've made three vapeable liquids, not sure they're exactly what I was after but can only improve from here, right? Any one know how to make them a bit less perfumey?

Let them steep/rest; take the cap off and air for 30-60mins per day and shake vigorously before and after. Some flavours can be shake and vape, others need to steep for a lengthy period - my unicorn milk clone needs a minimum three weeks to allow the flavours to develop and the alcohol to flash off (lots of flavourings are alcohol based)

Okay, I will try and leave them for as long as they need - the peach ice tea I made seems to have improved over the weekend and the banana & custard may have had too much custard, it's a bit more like caramelised bananas..

Was just about to buy another 100ml of Chill Ski in 3mg when I notice that they now do a 1.5mg so bought a bottle of that instead.

£4.99 for 10ml though... it would work out for me not much cheaper than smoking! I know that's not the point but...

I mentioned further up, I've been using http://www.onepoundeliquid.com and my latest order has been a mixture of 3mg and 0mg, which I'll mix about a bit with a view to any subsequent order being 0mg, then I'll be happy.

I tried this after a new coil and an equipment clean http://www.onepoundeliquid.com/10ml-high-vg-eliqui... and it certainly does produce rather large clouds!

The bigger bottles are better value £35 for 100ml, I only use about 3ml a day so its fine with me.

How you planning on storing the Nic Steve ?
And do I take it with these new regulations Nicotine shall not be readily available ?
In the freezer (have an unused one doing nowt) in glass bottles with minimum airspace - it doesn't freeze solid and should last indefinitely?

Nothing has been finalised as of yet, I'm hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Edited by stevoknevo on Friday 8th January 18:10
Got some stuff from Darkstar including 250ml of nic, stored it in 3 seperate 100ml amber bottles with polycone caps in an airtight container in the freezer.
The stuff just goes slightly thicker, hardly noticeable.
Container should hold about eight 100ml bottles so should have about 800ml eventually which should last me a while.
Just noticed your "minimum airspace" bit, shall top up the two 100's to the very top as the airspace never passed my mind but so obvious.

After asking in this thread about a year ago I finally got round to buying an iStick and Aspire K1 kit. Trying it out today and it's OK, haven't smoked many real fags compared to normal.

The guy filled it for me and I didn't pay attention (and I threw away the packaging) so am I right in putting the juice in upside down? There didn't seem to be any other way.

And is there anything else I need to do or buy? The guy said not to go above 12, I'm at 10 now but think I want a bigger draw. Can I change something?

Yes turn it upside down and unscrew the base to fill it. Don’t over tighten as it’s a bh to get undone if you do.
You will need coils and juice ongoing
You can adjust the airflow ring on the bottom to change the draw.

Quick reviews of most of the Ruthless range...

Slurricane: Peach, papaya and Guava @ 90% VG
Not a real favourite. Tastes not dissimilar to Tesco Value tropical squash but on the plus side it does generate a huge amount of vapour.

Rise: Lychee and Mango @ 60% VG
Very, very similar to Slurricane but you have to play around a lot with wattage to get the right flavour. It's not bad but very much a backup vape.

SherBAE: Orange sherbert @ 60% VG
Amazing. Can happily vape this all day as it's so smooth and fizzy with a proper orange taste but without that sickliness you get after a while with other sherbert flavours.

Swamp Thang: Sour apple Jolly Rancher @ 85% VG
This is the only apple flavoured juice which doesn't make me feel sick and doesn't leave a horrible aftertaste. It's certainly not a real apple taste but it's not claiming to be. You'll definitely have to give your tank a damn good cleaning after using this stuff as the smell and taste linger for a good damn long time afterwards.

Menage a Trois: Raspberry, Creme brulee and Cheescake @ 85% VG
The BEST liquid in the known universe as far as I'm concerned. I would have no problem if this was the only juice available. You can pretty much cycle through the spectrum of flavours by raising or lowering the wattage. I get a really strong and smooth raspberry flavour on the inhale and the exhale is an almost peppery creme brulee. I cannot speak highly enough of this stuff.

Mandingo: Banana, cinnamon and Nut Bread @ 60% VG
My second favourite Ruthless liquid and a happy ADV. I mean, who wouldn't want to suck on a Mandingo all day, right?

Peach Fuzz: Peaches and cream @ 85% VG
A middling liquid for me. It's not bad and it does produce a huge amount of vapour but I haven't found the flavours to be as strong or as defined as the others in the range.

I use www.redjuice.co.uk. They're maybe a quid more expensive than other places for supremely reliable with excellent delivery and a nice little reward scheme.
