http://onehitwondereliquid.com/product-category/e-... - I know, again US Juice but these are supposed to be the tits.
Their Muffin Man is the best juice I've ever tried, on the right atty set-up it's mouth-wateringly good!
There's a pretty serious amount of sucralose in their recipe which clogs up coils a good-un. I personally don't like the taste as it's just sweet air to me rather than a specific flavour but I've got friends that get through lots of it and just re-wick often to counter the sticky black coils
It does gunk coils up double quick, I assumed it was because it was 80/20. Decent liquids though, I liked the strawberry one more.

I've been using a geek vape griffin tank and it's fking brilliant, best I've had, much better than uwell crown etc, really easy to build on and really quick to re wick. Got some Clapton wire and build to about .5 ohm as any less just drinks so much juice.

Been making my own liquids as well, a revelation on how much I was spending.......made some seriously nice ones which have been well on par with premium juices (mates, mrs and me all agree).

I'm currently using a rx200 thats been updated to 250w with 25rs and works well.

tank is a ijoy tornado with a dual twisted clapton build running around .6ohm

flavour and cloud is great, its a really airy tank and once you worked it out quite a good deck to build on.

have just ordered a limitless from gearbest, seems like a good little tank and going from my experience with the tornado, a really well made item too

my choice of vape is either red astaire or pinkman from 'Likwid gold' a anglesey based juice.

have got some bannana custard made too but i find i get vapers tongue from that frown

Started again DIY a couple months back, costs a few quid to get going but you save a shed load long term. I've built up a decent catalogue of juices now so have tons of recepies to try. I think I've got around 20 in the cupboard steeping away smile

Take a look at YouTube for some recepies & ideas, also really informative on how individual flavours taste & mix together smile

DIY clones juice recepies

Concentrates I've been getting from Chefs Flavours, The Juice Cabin and the e-cig shop. Base liquids I've had from DarkStar Vapour. Pretty cheap.

Do you think that some base vg liquid tastes different to others? Had some from juice cabin and all mixes tasted great. Then saw that I could get 5 litres cheap from iirc ecig shop and all mixes taste fking terrible.
A mate mixes his own too and his also taste like st. I'm shaw it's the base liquid.

I've read flabour does vary with what PG/VG you use and probably the Nic base, I think some can taste a bit peppery especially if they're not fresh? I've been using mainly the pre mixed 250ml 6mg 50/50 & 85/15 VG/PG bottles from Juice cabin, really good, then using eliquid recepies calculator to get the concentrate % sorted (also got all my 10/30/50ml bottles & needles/syringes from Les....the 11 needle gauge is well worth getting for VG, miles easier to work with!!) but just stocked up on some PG, VG & 72% Nic base from Darkstar, should have enough for a while but haven't used these yet, still steeping but DS have had good reviews on POV and seem to be the ones most use?

Also looked at these but I'll see how I get on with DarkStar first:

Last time I was in my local shop I explained that one of the online juices I got was a bit gopping and he said it's the nicotine they use, apparently not all things are equal in that instance and the cheaper stuff isn't as nice

Yes, very happy with the juice cabin base liquids all good, come to think if it the vg I mentioned above does have a sort of peppery taste. Same as mates liquids he's done.

When mixing I use a 60ml syringe and just pour the vg, pg, nic and flavours directly into it, then just pour the lot into a larger vessel, saves using dozens of syringes. For larger mixes I do the same but just measure up to 60ml of each at once.

Have made some awesome liquids, as good or better than the premium stuff IMO. Would love a little sideline buisness but reckon I've well and truly missed the boat, ah well, at least I'm saving probably 250 a month now and don't have to worry and rush out to buy overpriced juices.

Hi, looking for a tip to help with a subtank mini coil.

I've started using a 0.5 ohm BVC (square type) coil which is pretty good at 28 Watts. However, it now seems to be bunged up which is making the draw very tight.
I tried washing it twice now but this doesn't really make any difference. Is there anything I can do to clean it more deeply ? I'm running 70/30 VG / PG 6 mg strength.

There is a tip on the web about veeeeery gently twisting a needle in the middle of the wick area - not to push all the way through, but to create a small depression. Might be worth giving it a go.

How long have you been running it for? They're normally about £2-3 a pop, mayne worth stocking up?

I'm sure I've seen something on the web about Vodka being used to clean them but worth a Google

Thanks! I,ve been running it only on and off for two weeks or so. I ordered one of the cylindrical coils ( not tried yet) buy only 'cos the eBay ad had pics of the square coil.

It's all very new but I haven't had a coil go bungo before...I thought they burned out.

I've no Vodka (I'm teetotal) but I'll do some research on it and needles.

Had some liquids by Vape Monster recently

Hydra - meant to be bubblegum, I couldn't really taste anything very meh

Pink Witch - essentially Strawberry Milkshake and tastes just like it. Really nice actually, a tad sweet for an ADV but decent

Tried Contra from Wick Liquor and it reaffirmed my love for the brand, such strong tastes, I'm now unsure on Boulevard being my favourite as Contra is awesome


Picked up some Elements today, one from their Emulsion range (their popular flavours paired together) which is Limon/Watermelon chill and one from their Far range which is Strawberry cupcake

Is there much point in making your own coils?

That sounds a cheeky question and it's not meant to be.... I've given up the sticks and am happily wed to Kangertech coils at 1.5ohms at 20 watts or so. But always learning and am interested in those who build their own and wonder if I should. Thanks....

Certainly cheaper but depends what tank/atty your using. Also if you like changing flavours it's jut a case of whipping the cotton out, run under the tap, dry burn the coil and rewick.

By far the best rba I've got for flavour and a lovely smooth Vape is the Rose V2 (bought 5 now! All clones, 3 full size & 2 stumpys) but it's also the biggest pain in the arse to rebuild. Took me hours to get the first one right after I kept giving up & going back to it. I've had this coil in here ages now but needs a fresh one.



Gearbest had a promo on last month and I picked up a shed load of different wire for $0.99 each! The local Vape shop wanted between £7-10 for them!! Also picked up some pre built coils from Fasttech for fancy builds in a few drippers with large enough post holes.

Here's the Velocity with a Juggernaut coil



And the Theorem with Alien coil



So handy to have them pre built just to try out, still prefer a Clapton coil though.

Japanese organic cottons cheap enough and lasts ages.

It's alright(ish) Flavours excellent on the SS notch coils and decent with a Clapton.

It does leak through the airholes, they said its leak proof but that's bs, it pisses out, it gets warm very quickly and mega MEGA hot with a low ohm build, 2 or 3 pulls on this one and it's too uncofortable to even touch, gets red hot! So I might go back to a Clapton and higher resistance. I think that's a 0.3ohm build in there with the alien coil. The airflow controls a pain, you need a long dripper nozzle to get the juice through the hole or it just sits on top of the deck. Does gulp the juice down like crazy but the flavours so good I don't mind that.

Not sure I'd buy one again after having this, nice to use now and again as its a bit different but definitely not a daily thing for me, bit too fiddly and gets way too hot to take out and put in your pocket, I'm going for the Aeronaut next. Looks good
