Ups and downs of vaping life

[sleedale]

I'm sure everyone has had these days or weeks

 VTR not playing  :'(so I decided to send my 4 batteries and adaptor to my son who loves his VTR, kept the charger though........just in case (and it IS his birthday on Saturday) so he got spare batteries, liquids (home made specially for him) adaptor, and I even gave him the lovely little chest my beautiful drip tip came in......cos it works lovely as a battery holder. (Regretting that)

so then

i ordered an istick cos of all the hype on here

but

it'll be ages, and ages and ages and even more ages until it arrives 

so happily using my MVP with my protank 2 yesterday I dropped it onto a quarry tiled floor (not my floor!) the tank sort of cracked, tiny bits came off it but amazingly it didn't leak  , so used it till I got home, took it apart, ditched the smashed glass. Onto myepack and bought two replacement glass tanks (lesson learned) and decided I needed another PT2. Now usually myepack orders take 2 days to get to us  But.........it arrived today  *cheer*many thanks to them

i also decided I needed a couple more concentrates, so reading the threads, help and advice thought I'd try UK flavours.....needed French vanilla, raspberry and was sure I needed orange......really fancy a straight Orange vape, then I saw the samples......and it would've been rude not to so added sweetener, Irish cream, blueberry and elderflower. That order also came today, brilliant speedy delivery. 
So, old PT2 put back together, new PT2 cleaned and fitted with stock coil, and 5 bottles made up.

now, I know I prefer micro coils and CW but I'd forgotten how   The silicon stock coils are.

AND, the elderflower concentrate smells, well............not like any elderflower growing round here.......and the smell is clinging to everything.....sink, drain, hands......especially my hands even after washing them, washing up.........I just hope it tastes, well............different.

so an up and down vaping few days

(oh and I didn't need any orange.....I have 8mls or so of it already.........anyone want a few mls of orange?)

sleedale look on the bright side, it can only get better (touch wood)

[sleedale]

prr not complaining I'm still not smoking and the rest of the vape gear is working fine, just need to recoil the new PT!

[Pepperty]

aye, my answer to vape ups and downs is have lots and lots of gear yeah I KNOW its not cost effective, but its still cheaper that what 20 a day smoking cost me!

and i've got all sorts of shinys to polish, admire and use

[prr]

sleedale if you aren't confident coiling send me a few pro tank heads and I will microcoil and cotton wick them for you.

Ye elderflower is one of them concs Vapes totally different to the smell, smells like cat pee lol.
I made an elderflower champagne which was nice.
Elderflower capella 8%
Champagne CCW 3%
Swedish fish KH 5%

[igual]

prr what guage wire do you use for your protank heads bud?

[lairey]

sleedale, if you're looking for an authentic orange flavour concentrate, Flavour West Blood Orange is bloody lush

[prr]

Really?  Did you try it at a lower %?  Sometimes more is less and less is more.  I mix it at 20% with 1% sweetener and plenty of flavour for me, and I am a flavour junkie 

[sleedale]

prr thank you for the offer, but whilst making a cup of tea for him indoors I did exactly your build......25 wire, 6wraps (but round a little screwdriver, have t got round to getting a mandrel) 1.8ohms, cw......now lovely

igual I so hope you are right about the elderflower, and this elderflower especially

lairey I'll bookmark that concentrate.......if I ever use up the orange I have already, (or if it's )

Just need evkoo to start posting isticks........
