I quite like TJuice Mintastic, more minty than menthol IMO but nothing to stop you adding your own menthol to taste Thing is I find some menthols really bitter and I dont like bitter or spearmint. I had one that was great for mixing but can't remember the name or even where I got it! Chris

Hi can anyone recomend a good minty menthol concentrate for mixing rather than a stand alone? DEFINATELY NOT SPEARMINT BASED, just had to point that out not too bitter either. Thanks in advance Chris

Changing your browser on an apple device makes no difference, all you are doing in effect is rebranding safari. Apple do not allow any other browser to run. It looks different, has chrome written all over it but is still safari dressed in different clothes. This goes for any browser you find in the App Store. I'm having this problem constantly. It will still happen to people who "change browser" just have to wait for pro boards to solve it. I almost guarantee it will have something to do with the load time of the banner adds

For me, IPV Mini with an Origen v2 RDA dual coiled at 0.5 with muji. Got the IPV in DC-DC mode of course and the juice, well yeah the juice! I'm currently vaping on a combo of two mixes I made neither of which I particularly liked so I chucked them both together and added 6 drops of double menthol (2x15ish = roughly 30mlish) so the combination is........in no particular order! capella Kiwi and Strawberry, Capella cucumber, capella peppermint, capella double water melon, health-e-vape sweedish fish and Vaping wharehouse minty menthol. Its doable but not great. Probably chuck it in the morning. No idea of the pg/vg as both were different, I'm guessing 30/70ish at 5ish mg! If anyone wants to name this I can say a few words for it when it put it out of it's missery in the morning!

It's canny geordie_vaper for mouth to lung, the flavour is certainly there. Good compromise for when the wife's watching corrie and complaining about the clouds. I think I'll keep one set up like this for testing mixes. I prefer the middle air hole though so I can give it a bit of lung at the end. Cheers mate Chris

Reet geordie_vaper I'm gonna go and build that now and if the truth be known (keep it quiet) I was born in Consett! Moved to Newcastle when I was one though so... you know.

Hi all, as the title suggests I'm interested to know what your fave Origen build is. As some of you may be aware I've arrived late to the Origen party but have totally fallen in love with it. (if you haven't tried one I suggest you do!) What I like about it is it's incredible versatility. One coil mouth to lung one airhole open duel coil two airholes just about good for lung hits, a bit tight for some. I've tried a few builds on it in the week I've had it and here are my results. ( I realise this is prob not news to many) First Build Vertical Dual Coil with ready made No res-Res-No Res welded wires (nichrome) 2x 1.5 ohms reading 0.7 on my Ipv mini Boots organic pads sperated, outer edges discarded and wicks formed from inner looser cotton strands Wells not stuffed enough wick to just lay about 2 mmm in the bottom. Top of the wicks JUST bellow the centre post and pasted to it (centre post) with a bit of juice verdict- First and best, the nichrome heats just about instantly so no hanging around. I could run this at 5 watts would you believe and get tonnes of flavour and vapour lung hitting. Super battery life Downside, changing cotton is a pain as its dead easy to ruin your coils (i had made sudo micro coils with the pre welds) theyre just too flimsy and seperate to easily. 2nd Build Dual coils again with .32 Kanthal micro, 6 wraps aiming for 0.7 again (and hit it thanks to this great resource www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp ) wicks were made of Muji one layer rolled with plenty in the wells and same config at the top of the centre post Verdict- good, but not as good as the first build. Obv the kanthal being thicker took a lot longer to heat up so needed to start at 12 watts min and even at 20watts there was a bit of a delay. Flavour and vapour were great but not as good as the boots/ready made combo. That surprised me. 3rd Build Dual vertical .21 Kanthal again aiming for 1.5 ohm (was thinking mouth to lung) hit it again using steam engines coil calc as linked above. Wick muji again but this time one "u" wick shared by both coils with plenty in the well. Verdict-Still great but not wicking as well even with the well full of juice. Still a bit of a delay but too hot for the wick above 15 watts (or bellow if chaining) so decided to cut the wick in the middle and stick to the centre post again. Much better but still not as good as build number one. So in short, Cheap ready wires with boots organic pads are kicking muji/Kanthal's butt! which is odd as everything else (plume veil, Igo W3 etc work much better with the muji/kanthal combo, oh by the way, if anyone could give me the size for the Plume base O rings I'd be delighted So now I'm wondering what build to try next, single coil, horrizontal etc. How do you do yours and what for, flavour? vapour? best of both? Long post I know but I'd love to hear from you Chris

No idea what sizes you need mate but Fasttech sell loads of orings for pennies, take a while to arrive given the Chinese hols buy maybe worth ordering a load of different sizes from them for a few quid. I wouldn't know where to start with sizes, any clues? Cheers Mate Chris

Please help! I recently traded a few bits and bobs for a variety of drippers. Igo W3, Plume Veil and a very nice Origen. All clones but very nice clones at that. Being the good lad that I am I threw in all the spare O rings I had for each item (agat2 and Stormys Terminator C etc) However, after a fit of something I decided to sort out all the endless bits of crap I've gathered over the last two years, you wouldn't believe the cack I have hoarded! Old vivi tanks and just about every coil I ever used, endless off cuts of silica, kanthal, an entire erol kit that never saw the light of day (but some how seems scratched to death) ego c atomisers, beauty rings (never even owned an ego device!) god I could go on. I really could. After the clear out I traded the half decent stuff I wasn't using as I mentioned above. I somehow managed to loose all my O rings! (I know I gave the individual relevent spares away) but always had a stock of different sizes for most occasions. Thing is I have no recollection of how they came into my possesion. The drippers I traded for are brill and I have no complaints but the O rings on the base of the Plume Viel are faaarrrrr to thin, not sure if they came that way or not but make it impossible to make any kind of airflow adjustment and I'm forever pulling the whole thing appart by accident. The w 3 came with two spares wich fortunately fit the best of the lot, The Origen (don't get me started) but others are starting to look decidedly ropey What's my point? Oh yeah does anyone know of a sort of standard atty o ring selection out there? I've no idea of the sizes I need and have searched for hours this evening (both in the "dad cupboard" and online) Anything with two of this a few of that etc. I would be extremely grateful if someone could link me in the right direction. I have no means of measuring the ones I've got. Sorry for the massive post but it's driven me nuts! got them all coiled up lovely am unable to get the best air flow config for me on any off them. Cheers Chris

I've just dumped a load of glass bottles I bought for mixing. Dirty, leaking, Amber b@stards! The tops are indeed sh@t. The batch I owned, seriously no kidding, you could watch them unscrew themselves! When empty and dry, no problem. As soon as you introduce liquid into the equation something bizarre happens to the rubber in the cap and immediately after you tighten them they spin back on themselves before your very eyes! I really am too busy to spend 10 minutes filling up a naughtilus! Big sack off placca specials arrived on Tuesday. Bye bye you slimy medicinal tw@ts! Sorry, not sure what happened there. In short, I agree.
Chris
