primarily my favourite tobacco type juice is Manabush which I have found can be diluted 50/50 if you have the patience to let it steep. I have a few bottles of 75vg Chira Sun and Mojave Dessert that bar being a little sweeter are smooth, cloudy and more suited to sub-ohm.
Messed about with one nutty baccy home-brew. 12% DK Cuban Cigar 2% M&P Go Nutz 1% Capella VC v1
Only problem with it that the cigar flavour has a touch of an nbutyic twang. No replacement for Manabush though.

get the kit with an ohm meter, when you are starting off check builds off your mod.
I know that the mods have short circuit safety and read the resistance fairly accurately unlike some did/could/would in the past but it is good practice to make sure that everything is good before you screw it on.
When you are confident and can almost build with your eyes closed the meter will still be there to fall back on if something is not quite right

to be honest I don't think that there is much I would buy again from FT let alone worry about what's discontinued. Spares are about my limit and I've bought a few lifetimes worth already. Possibly the golden days of good quality clones and cheap classics are over but most of the genuine waste of money crap I've bought has been from FT.

Thank you all for your helpful advice, I've always vaped tobacco juice but just recently I tried strawberry and I got a slight taste of the fruit but it did not last long, I might give menthol a try even though I hate the taste and smell but I'll try any damn thing just to be able to taste, one of my favorite juices was French Pipe but now I no longer taste it, so bloody frustrating. thank you all, Jamesrd I really disliked menthol, wouldn't smoke methol fags either. Now I've got a big bottle of the stuff and chuff away on it when I'm out and about. Upped the strength too for an icy blast

Hi jamesrd I'm not in the same age bracket, still a whippersnapper at 50 but I regularly get bouts of 'no flavour', its not long term single flavour vapers tougue either. Had that from trying too many flavours, its just mehhh. Summer heat, humidity and hayfever do it for me, I lose all but the most robust aromas. Although I'm no longer left gasping I would guess that my nose and sinuses aren't otherwise desensitised since I stopped smoking. Also any dental issues, medication ( a course of anti-biotics left me on menthol for long enough to actually like it). Unless you can't taste it already, a week or two or 5 of a 50/50 menthol is the usual course to take.

as I've just swapped out the batteries on my Rolo. I don't charge 18650s in the mod unless I'm on the go. Thats the whole idea of removable batteries for me.

errrr I haven't bought anything vape related for at least 4 months but that made the old grey matter turn over. The only minus that comes to mind is hot spots.....surely you're gonna have fun getting it to heat up evenly?

My non-squonk SXK Hadaly arrived yesterday. (FT - 8 days) First, the O-rings on the drip tip self-destructed as I pulled it out. Second, the top won't press down flush to the base. All in all, quite poor. It's vaping OK (0.5ohm @ 25-30-ish watts) but the base business is annoying and leaky too. I might strip out the coil and see if it fits properly then. - - I can see the bin coming into play at this rate. did you get the big adjusting hammer on it? I bought two SXK Hads and I replaced the o-rings on both with slightly narrower ones, its not that the caps come off that regularly...but they were so tight I couldn't them off to rewick.

now its been filled up and its all come out about 2 hours ago would it not be primed by now? you think they would of come out with one by now that don't leak I understand your frustration but Kanger have regularly had batches of leaky coils and the ones that come with the tanks are some of the worst, probably because they come from older batches than the spares production lines. Juice just seems to flow through them irrespective. Been there with Kanger Subtank minis, bought several 'my tank leaks' T-shirts, my hair fell out and I bought different atomisers. Its either c) the seals, simple to replace them b) the fill ports are not fully closed a) the coils....apparently there have been dodgy batches of KT ceramics and SSOC going around for ages, its the coil to chimney seal. Aspire atomiser? Don't know sorry.

Hi, typically constant leaks from new are down to seals and o-rings. Its a common enough fault with top-fills when they lose vacuum. I'd just strip them down, replace all of the rubbers and maybe give the coil longer to prime before filling up the tank.
