Strange the way vaping has changed - when i started using first KR808's and then eGo's with carto's - i was using 2-3ml a day of 24mg juice Then the carto tanks arrived and i got me first mech mod proper from Throathit on UKV - went up to 4-5ml a day  If i had 50ml of juice i knew i had more than enough until the next delivery would arrive  In the days of Subtanks and being in China (and the delivery problems and max 11mg juice) through necessity i've been diluting what i have down to the point where i have 500ml-ish of maybe 1mg juice - and was starting to worry that i wouldn't have enough for the last 7ish weeks of me contract  Today i took the plunge - and have ordered 1 litre of 36mg nic (hopefully 60/40 VG/PG) and 3 125ml of flavours from a Chinese Company i discovered on FB - X'ian Taima Biological - could do it all via Paypal - but tried using the Chinese Social Media WeChat and it's Wallet function (so it came directly out of me Chinese bank account) - for around £40.50 delivered! I'm still a tobacco vaper - especially for unknown flavours - so went for T-#21 Dunhill, T-#50 Tobacco Blended, and T-#99 Island Tobacco (tobacco+coconut +chocolate). Should all arrive next week + i have the 100ml of RY4 from Alchemist that will hopefully arrive in a few weeks too. Now the RY4 is a good price - but comparatively - just under £30 for 100ml delivered (you always pay more for quality ) IL of 36mg, if it's any good should make up 6-12L's of juice for me - and the flavour should keep me going - and is cheap enough if it's OK. Next problem will be sourcing the VG/PG - the nice vendor i found selling the Organic French VG has either run out of stock or not doing it any more = it's almost doubled in price - still worth it though. PG - still looking for a reputable source. Think the best thing will be to just muddle through now until i get back - maybe dilute the VG down with some water - and then bring a litre or 2 with me next year  I won't need to bring much stuff with me so should have the baggage allowance - and of course no need for the Nic |

Thanks folks  Well with 2 Foreign Teachers here - the number of classes i get should go down too - which also equates to an hourly pay rise - but 'heck' - i only do 10.5 hours a week as it is - which is pretty sweet! Maybe find an ickle private teaching and pull me finger out on the writing front and i'll be a happy bunny indeed! Well - with some more planning with vaping supplies anyway Popped an order in with Alchemist for delivery here - for flavour - to see if it works (£6 international delivery - worth a try  ) and will try the locally sourced nic - Think i was quoted $39 delivered for a litre of 36mg - @ average strength of 3mg which should keep me going for the foreseeable LoL Next year i'll be definitely be bringing 250ml+ of flavouring - and if Alchemists get's here - problems solved!  |

Well had me 'Chat' with my 'Leader' (LoL) about signing an extension for next year this afty. 500rmb a month pay rise (12%), they'll pay for a return flight when i leave for the summer (otherwise they pay for a single - then i do the same coming back and then get reimbursed - so frees up £400+ of me cash), replace my Air Con with new ones that should be quieter, AND provide some heat in the winter, replacing the kitchen Extractor fans with ones that actually work - proper lined curtains - keep the light out and the heat in - and a few bits and pieces for the kitchen  OK the pay-rise is about £500 a year - not a lot but it's a few weekends away - whilst looking for work for the following year. Could probably have haggled for more - but it's Satisficient (Satisfactory ans sufficient). The rest really needs sorting anyway - and the curtains are translucent at best - so when it gets light (and the PA kicks off at 6.30am - no too loudly but enough when it's not dark!) it will help and extra heat retention would be nice too! So all things considered - reasonably happy - possibly won't have to work a summer school - and should have a definite return date when i leave for the summer (when it starts hitting 30-40! for July and August!  ) |

Aloha Frogster (The Alchemist)Just popped in an order - to me in Xianning, Hubei, China - possibly your first (and one of 1st by any UK Vendor i should think LoL) Thought i had enough of DIY juice related supplies - but the snag of being 'Old Skool' is that i decidely under-estimated the sheer quantity of juice the SubOhm tanks can drink - i remember when 2-3ml a day was average - not per tank! |

geordie_vaper SS 0.5 i've been using definitely can be used MTL - turn AF anti-clockwise all the way off then turn back clockwise until thee find the sweet spot. Sure the normal 0.5's will be the same

Actually DiscoDes - i've been tried to find something - aside from the battery life - that is a niggle in anyway - and that's pretty much it I like the was the mouthpiece detaches - making it easy to blow out an excess juice The Filling method is OK and no leaks a huge bonus. Great size, good weight, solid build - great tank size and shape (even if it's unlikely to get used on anything else LoL) |

First ickle niggle noticed - though to be honest i had the same with the Cuboid - i'd just forgotten As a right handed finger firer - by preference - the screen is on the wrong side for me   If i want to see the screen whilst firing the mod - then i either have to use it left handed so i can use me 'trigger' finger - or change my preferred style and use me thumb  Same problem with the Cuboid itself(  It's just an ickle niggle - but also might explain why the RX200 is used far more often than the Cuboid (roughly the same age - but the Rx has certainly been used more |

Probably joeten - thing is i've run out of everything - just about that is. I have around 500ml of premixed VG/PG using the juice i had lying around for nic and flavour - so roughly 60/40 - and probably 1mg ish. I'm probably going to sign a contract for next year - as long as they fix a few things (in the contract) and if i do i might try the nic supplier i've sourced - but even then the only flavours i can get directly seem to come from them too - and in 200ml with no samples Me Ma is going to try and send me the 100ml of 24mg Tobacco i ordered from FT - just forwarding and recording whatever FT put on the customs report - if that arrives that's the nic sorted and i can bring more with me next year. As to Flavour - me Ma would send me some from the UK - but it might take a 3 weeks to a month and then i'm back at the end of June anyway |

Not complaining about the temperature yet (give it another month and i'll be glad to be leaving the heat behind though) - just me vape being fecked with LoL Still plenty of me students going round with jackets/coats on - me in shorts, t-shirt and barefoot! Going to have to invest in sunscreen - UV 10 out of 10 today! Humidity is also become an issue - dampness is a definite factor - between the frequent rain etc to - as i've said makes Ireland seem laid back when it does decide to rain - but at least we get the warmth too |

Today's Update Early day (for me) so vaping began at 9.30ish - first class at 10 - 11.40 - with only a 10 minute vape break - then lunch - semi chain vaping until next class at 1.50 - 3.30 - vape a lot - then pootle into town for a restaurant meal and supermarket shop. So more the average worky day thing The battery died at 9.30pm - so a full 12 hours - not bad for an ickle bitty 2400mAh battery using 1mg juice (SS 0.5 coil SS 220C @23w's) 10+ml of juice vaped too. |

I know thee ordered some Notch coils DiscoDesbut thought that if anyone else were still looking at the thread i'd add Elegant Vapour to the list of vendors to look at The Notch are excellent on a dual/Trio battery mod, but the Cuboid Mini's battery gets hammered by them - The Cubis and Cuboid are running them very nicely So thanks for recommending the 0.5 SS head - which has brought the battery life today (more out and about kinda day) to 12 hours |

Cheers joetenHave 20 coming via FT to me Ma's - then Ireland to me in China - but much appreciated For the Mini Cubis - the 0.5 SS stock heads seem to be the way forward - at least until i can build me own in the RBA section - including trying the Notch coils when they arrive. The Notch .25 just need to much power for the Mini - excellent in the Cuboid or RX200 though |

) and will try the locally sourced nic - Think i was quoted $39 delivered for a litre of 36mg - @ average strength of 3mg which should keep me going for the foreseeable LoL
