Back in the day - basically the word 'mod' referred to modifications we vapers HAD to make to get devices and 'misers' to actually work as intended  Then it referred to 'modified' things like torches - that had been converted into vaping battery devices. |

Living here - i would have doubts about many companies as far as the accuracy of their testing  The company i found - via Facebook - does seem 'better' than some - so ordered the lowest nic (36mg) they do to try - and some flavours. If it arrives and seems good - then i'll happily share the address and details  |

Actually got the RBA head in at the mo - reads 0.54 and is working quite nicely  I'll have a go at rebuiding it with SS - but might be a tad tricky. Also have some Notch RBA coils coming from FT - but via me Ma in Ireland so will take a while |

Going for a drinkie battery life update Went out to the 'Pub in the Park' - a place that sells imported European beers - Chimas, Duvel, Hoegaarden etc - better than the Chinese average 2.5% 'beer' though pretty much UK prices - Chinese beer around 50p, Bottle of Duvel £5 Anyway, left at 20.15 with a fully charged battery and tank, filled the tank up once, and as i was coming up the stairs of me apartment building, the battery died at 01.30! So 5-ish hours of vague Chain vaping apart from the taxi journeys - with 2 fellow foreign teachers here, who smoke So many bottles supped, more than sufficient Vapour Production (SS 0.5 head) - and met a Chinese vaper - though, like many here, he was socially smoking with his friends  |

Possibly - QC in China is better than it used to be - and i've seen the set up at Joyetech and it's pretty good. I know they test every battery/device before it leaved the factory - but testing the heads is a so many per batch thing You could try giving it a rinse and leaving it to dry - paper towel etc - and then re-priming it and giving it another go? If that doesn't work, then try following the directions in the how to rewick the Notch coils vid |

sorry to hear that mojoman83Haven't had that problem with mine - either in the Mini tank or now in me Cubis  Only thing i can think is to reduce the amount of juice in the tank? But if you still get the problem - there really isn't much difference in performance (for me) in the Notch and SS 0.5Ohm coil - but a huge boost in battery life as a bonus |

Once i've filled it - i'll often unscrew the top mouthpiece section and blow it through (shut your eyes as you might get juice blowing out ) After this the problem disappears - for me at least |

mojoman83 The Cuboid Mini tank is pretty much metal - and metal tanks heat up (and cool down) quite quickly - especially at higher power settings and with the AF closed down. Mine's never got hot enough to worry me - even using it on the Cuboid at higher power with the Notch in though

Nice - and thorough - review lemental Kev at Cig-elquid @cg-eliquid was the 1st place i tried DIY supplies (and one of the first Nic 'specialists' in the UK - around 5 years ago He was also the origiantor of the much acclaimed 'Spikey Thing' - the best filling device at the time - and had a very popular thread on UKV - think paulymeatballs was a fan too LoL Glad to here they're keeping on top of their game  |

I have me first Chinese nicotine in process - and will post a 'review' when it arrives next week - 1L of 36mg 60/40 PG/VG (forgot to pay attention ) and to me in China $32 delivered - seems pretty good - but the proof is in the pudding so will wait and see. Also of course have no way of checking the actual nic content |

Haven't really tried anything like the full range tbh - when i was looking 4 odd years ago i was looking for an ADV in the tobacco's - and difficult it was a choice between the Virginia Fire Cured and Praze - but Praze has been me preferred ADV for 4 years noe i trust her Tamy - Mom - is so OCD about flavour and Cleanliness etc - i trust her implicitly *flowers*F Pachelas Famous Five Layers is a suitably complex sweet vape - seeming to vary between which of the 5 flavours comes to the fore with each vape Tobacc0 I've also tried and enjoyed: Butterfly bait (Peachy), Dragon Tobacco (Dragon Fruit with tobacco), RYO (Roll Your Own) a distinctly RYO tobacco and many more - all pretty damn good and very similar to, or better than the pre-made juice |

lee I think the clue is in the Maybe the test was to see whether you showed your workings for basic volume and then either made a comment or asked about 'usable' volume - in the same way as asking permission to turn the page?

Leisure Liquids was about the first to get Mom and Pop's in - so used them plenty of times Might have a word with Mom about getting a bulk order in during the summer to bring back to China - unless the Chinese ones i've got coming show promise |
