No worries. It's an Xtar SP2, if you want to look it up.

Doesn't the one on Leeds market just sell branded TW gear (in which case they're probably decent quality egos, but overpriced)?

I've got an Xtar charger which I don't intend to use anymore (the adaptor blew up when plugged in, and although I don't know whether this did any harm to the charger itself, I'm not going to take the risk). Is that any use to you? Thanks for the offer but I think Dave above has sorted me out. Mind you out of curiosity what type of thread is it( I do hate junking anything that might be recycleable lol) Cheers Richie Ah, it doesn't have threads, it has bays for sitting the batteries in. I take it you were just wanting 510 connection type battery chargers, then? If so, apologies, I didn't realise.

RSST

Thanks for the reply. I'll go for Kanthal A1 wire and see what happens! Let us know how you get on Just tried wicking my RSST for the first time. I didn't use your method this time, dc84 - I thought I'd keep it simple and just use mesh without rope. May as well learn to walk before attempting a run. I copied P Busardo's vid where he makes a little cut up into the mesh at the bottom end. My coil snapped on my first attempt to pulse. I recoiled with more wire, and it took me a good few minutes to get the coils glowing evenly, but with a bit of gentle random nudging it got there eventually. Liquid on. No glowing. Fill her up and away we go. Boom! Lovely vape! My genesis cherry has officially been popped! And it was much less tricky than I feared it would be. Just one other question I'm now wondering about: I have 3 devices, and they're all vv box mods. So not ideal for pulsing, is that right? Would I be better off getting a mech for this purpose, or does it not really matter all that much? (I'm assuming that since I was successful so quickly, it can't make that much difference.)

Well, I'm in the same position as you (never tried a genesis before - although I do have a silica rebuuldable), and I've opted for an RSST on the basis that everyone says they perform well and are easy to set up, and I also like the idea of the insulated wick hole.

Sure, I don't mind tweaking recipes or inventing them, but in this case, seeing as Black Kitten is an attempt to recreate Black Cat, and I have no idea how to go about doing that by myself, I'm quite keen to follow the original recipe as closely as possible. And I'm only aware of one version of it (the one I linked to, which doesn't contain PA Sweetener), so I'm just wondering if there's more than one version kicking about. Sorry to cause confusion kurotoshiro I tweaked romelee's BK recipe to suit me (I like sweet!) Based my tweak on Rom's use of about 2% PA sweetener in his recipes, so added 1% PA & 1% Vanillin I have re-read my post and you're right I don't make what I am saying very clear do I? (I bet Super-Shiny was wondering what I was going on about too!! Sorry Super-Shiny !! ) Ah, thanks for that, I get it now! I might have a go at adding a little bit of sweetener myself, to see how it affects the overall taste. I've tried the (original) Black Kitten recipe, and although it does come quite close to the flavour of Black Cat, it seems to me a bit more thick and cloying and lacking in some taste I can't quite put my finger on (possibly a hint of aniseed which Black Cat seems to contain - although I could be completely wrong about that).

kurotoshiro you don't have to follow any recipe exactly, just like cooking really. Sure, I don't mind tweaking recipes or inventing them, but in this case, seeing as Black Kitten is an attempt to recreate Black Cat, and I have no idea how to go about doing that by myself, I'm quite keen to follow the original recipe as closely as possible. And I'm only aware of one version of it (the one I linked to, which doesn't contain PA Sweetener), so I'm just wondering if there's more than one version kicking about.

I hear you! Loving Kent, but not really going to experiment much more with Inawera as it's not good value if it tastes Talking of Kent, Super-Shiny I've made a mix of your Black Kitten and I have to say it is a lovely vape (sorry I did tweak it though and halved the PA sweetener and added Vanillin sweetener, had no choice really as ran out of PA!! Don't think I damaged your hard worked recipe too much ) Hang on, I'm confused. The Black Kitten recipe I used (the one here) doesn't mention sweetener! :/

It is illegal to sell nic, not to have it! Otherwise I would be writing this from prison lol, OK, thanks for the clarification. That's less worrying than trying to travel through a country where it's illegal to even possess it! Are you actually Danish? Or just living there? Unfortunately, although I'd like to have a look round Copenhagen, I won't have any time to stop there.

Tip take the nic content labels off your juice as juice containing nic is illegal in Denmark. Ahh, I wasn't aware of that. I'll probably only have bottles of my own mixes with me, and I don't write the nic content on the labels anyway. But it's good to be aware of this either way!

Where abouts are you going/staying? I'll be flying into Copenhagen and taking a train to Jönköping. (Apparently, there's not much to see in Jönköping, but I'm going there specifically for this: www.dreamhack.se/dhw13/aboutdhw13/). On the way back, I'll be staying for a day near Malmö, where a friend of mine now lives (he married a Swede).

... I'll be going there for a few days in November. From what I can gather, vaping / ecigs are perfectly legal over there. So I shouldn't have any problems. (I have found conflicting information online about whether or not it's legal to buy or sell nicotine-containing liquid, but seeing as I won't be buying or selling any e-liquid over there, I'm assuming I can just ignore that - from what I can see, actually owning / using an e-cig is not illegal in any way). However, if anyone knows any different, I'd be grateful for the information! Cheers!

no point at all in wondering what would have happened if we'd done things differently in the past! As a devil's advocate sort of counterpoint: if we never thought about how different actions might have had different consequences, we wouldn't be able to learn from mistakes.

It will be interesting to see some reviews. Well, I've ordered some to have a go with it. However, as a cack-handed tw*t who struggles to make even the simplest of wicks, I'm probably not the best person to be offering up reviews.
