not a helpful post, sorry

I've been wondering about your user name. Your from Aberdeen so I get the 'fitlike' bit, but not the min ???

My MIL is from Keith, the first time I heard Doric, I thought I was in a foreign land. I'm from the Borders

I'm surprised I missed this thread.

I have a smok ARO. It's terrible. It leaks quite badly, gurgles and generally misbehaves.

It's a pointless item of vaping paraphernalia. I got 3ml or so through mine before the troubles started.

I would take it back, but it's from 50 miles away. Ideal for the bin, I'd say.

djs send it to me and I will have a look at it.

I just thought fitlikemin...have you tried cleaning the threads where the head screws into the base (that then screws onto the connector that then goes on your riva?)....might help? Might not....

And yeah I think we can vape in Ma Cameron's if ya not fixed soon so I can have a looky (and show you my sidewinder - fab mod!!! )

What do you work as by the way?

Hi Karma , the "min" is just aberdonian for "man" - just a way of saying hello to someone, similar to saying "aye aye min" as you pass someone, as opposed to greeting an old friend when you might say "foos yer doos"? (The generally accepted answer to that would be "aye peckin".  Plain english really, don't know why folk pretend they can't understand us up here ( diina ken fit wye chiels canna mak us oot) .

Keith's a bit cheuchterish though - not surprised you couldn't understand someone from there .  I don't actually speak doric that much unless I'm with friends, I got sent to elocution lessons at primary schol as we moved to a posher part of town and the teacher "suggested" it might be beneficial!!


djs - really glad to hear that it's not just me, all 5 Aro's I bought are leaking, regardless of what pg/vg liquid is in them and what battery I use them on. Pity as I liked the "coolness" of the vape. Managed to get an iclear 30, that and the cartos are keeping me going until the tank cartomiser Super-Shiny suggested arrives. Will happily send them on to someone else if they fancy seeing if they can get them to work properly or use bits from them.

@johanino - that's encouraging to hear about Ma's - everywhere I've asked so far in town has said "no" to vaping indoors, been resorting to sneaky hits in the toilets if I don't want to go outside with the smokers.
Not wanting to come over all secretive about work but not meant to discuss on social media, employer does trawl around the net checking and if I say what I do it's kind of obvious who I work for. (It's nothing too bad though I promise!) . If there's a meet up at some point I'm happy to discuss in person.

Just googled sidewinder mod - looks very fancy and a bit of an upgrade from what I'm using. I'm quite into gadgets so need to watch I don't go overboard and buy stuff just for the sake of it - the shinyitis you all seem to refer to . I've tried your suggestion about cleaning the threads, unfortunately they still leak everywhere, and I've wasted so much juice already that I'm ready to give up on them completely. Learned one valuable lesson though - if I buy something, I'll try using it for a few weeks at least before buying extras, spare heads etc.

Thnaks again for everyone's suggestions and advice. I'm still managing to avoid tobacco and have no desire to buy a packet. One friend has also started vaping and there's a few folk starting to ask questions about cost, where to purchase my "crack pipe" and supplies and I've recommended this forum to a number of folk to get decent answers.
