If i shake it around, then i do get a few drips - with the AF full open and after around a minute - see pic attached. No gurgle after and no real mess to clean up after

Aloha @chrissie

Use Firefox as standard - just checked the same linkies with Chrome and Edge - with no problems?

MrDJ - done both - and seem to get the same results? Same with clicking on other posters links?

Didn't get this problem anywhere near as much before i switched to W10 - but then again, i haven't posted much for 3 months either

Nice one @b Road Blaster - they had the RBA deck - which i couldn't find anywhere

Hmm - for some reason the B changes to lower case when i actually post this?

And still can't post linkies for some reason - www.vapeshopbrighton.co.uk/collections/joyetech-coils/products/joyetech-mg-coils-for-ultimo-tank-inc-rta-head

Note:
Received a very nice welcoming email from Chris at the Brighton Vape Shop - adding that if i get stuck for vape tat in China they ship worldwide

Not sure why that happens - but noticed it a lot recently - and can't seem to edit it either

Forgot to mention

WeChat - the Chinese (and in many ways superior) version of WhatsApp. I tried about every method to keep in touch with family and friends - especially for voice calls - from China. FB messenger, WhatsApp, Skype etc and pretty much all require the use of a VPN (which effects bandwidth) and makes it more difficult to be contacted and quality of calls was bad.
With WeChat, as it's Chinese, no VPN required, and calls to me Ma (and the few others who do have it) are so much better too! Also has some nifty features, like transferring money, paying bills (including phone top up - saving the hassle of playing charades at the phone shop) and sending location (in real time too - handy if you're meeting a freind and both walking).

The main reason i'm mentioning it though, is someone (Joseph from the UK) contacted me via WeChat, having read me Vaping in China threads, and put me in touch with (sent me an invite to) a Vapers in China WeChat group. Turns out, that now that i'm a member of the group, i can order and pay for most of my vaping requirements via the VIC, and pay via WeChat wallet

For example, i was rushed out of me apartment on leaving China, got into the train station, and realised that i'd left me Cuboid mini on charge at home - meaning i only had my backup device (old and unreliable Eleaf 50W) on me. On the train i got onto the VIC group and asked if there were any B+M Vape shops in Shenzhen, aside from the one i knew about?
Swift response was to order via the group, so got in touch with Pascal (a South African teacher and Vape seller) who sold me a Target mini kit (good battery - tank 'had issues') and sent it to the hostel i was supposed to stay at (my Sz adopted family). Arrived the next day - VAPE ON!

Also gives me access to Juice and some DIY supplies to - so now a much more relaxed Vaper in China.

If anyone is heading to China drop me a PM - or search for Monkey Lao Shi (teacher) on WeChat

Ordered from FT after seeing paulymeatballs slideshow review

It took about 3 weeks, and came in the usual quality JT box, with 2 heads or 'discs' (both 0.5 Ceramic and a re-wickable MG), a spare tank, O-rings etc.

It's a pretty nifty looking tank, with a good top fill (easy to squeeze juice into), good airflow (with a few raised mark to help move it around with some precision, and stiff enough to stay there) and looks good on me all black Pico (better without the silicon 'condom' on





And on the Target Mini



The DT is - different. It's one of the kinda fixed type with a 'sleeve' (either black delrin, or SS) which is a fairly wide, but can also fit most 510's - although they fit inside the stub of the pre-fitted one, exposing the o-rings (although i do have an old Titanium one that fits inside the 'sleeve' and looks good )



The heads are flat-ish discs - which are new - and seem to allow a slightly larger juice capacity than say the Cubis (which, aside from the Anyvape Furytank 2 has been my main stock coil tank in China). I'm using the MG (Mega?) head at the mo (reading 0.4) - and like most JT coils, starting at low W's (26W/3.6V - though needs some pre-firing to ramp up the coil) and cranking it up a little after each tank or 2 (currenly on 32.6W's or 4v) and really enjoying the vape.

Flavour production is improved compared to the Cubis (which ain't bad), Vapour Production is excellent (especially for the low W's) and the topfill easy to squeeze and (so far) without leaks.

I have found it possible to do either MTL or DI (MTL at lower W's with tiny airflow and DI cranked up with AF fully open) with the Ultimo, and like the fact that using a single battery mod, like the Pico, i can save on battery (and juice) by having it on low and MTL instead.

No idea how long the discs will last, but with the Notch/MG being rewickable, should last a while - not sure about the Ceramic - will crack it open and have a go in a few days once i get around to wanting to play.

Unlike paulymeatballs , mine didn't come with the RBA deck - and i haven't been able to locate one from EU vendors as yet - though FT have one i won't get it in time before heading back to China This is definitely something i'm interested in as i don't really like the Cubis RBA - and looks pretty easy (though don't they all LoL).

Am i Happy thus far with - Absolutely!
There are times i really enjoy a long, slow, MTL draw (23W/3.36V with a 2-3 second ramp time) - and other times i need a full on blast of DI vapour - and the Ultimo seems to be the best tank i've tried for both options!

Pootled around Pompey to a couple of B+M shops, and they didn't have the Ultimo as yet - same with most online vendors. From FT i paid around £15 - an absolute bargain.
OK the discs are an ickle more expensive than the Cubis ones - but if they last, and the MG being re-wickable - would seem to be worth it for the Vape quality, variety of MTL/DI options and Enjoyment factors!

The replacement Discs on FT come in 3 'flavours' - 0.5 MG Clapton, 0.5 Ceramic and a 0.25 Notch - hopefully they'll be available in the UK soon (and China once i get back too!).
