Sorry to hear your thinking of smoking again mate.The perfect anything doesn't exist--there is no magic pill,potion or juice to stop anyone smoking.First and foremost we are all dealing with an addiction not a small addiction but a 24/7 one.My take on it was get tobacco juices 30-36mg (because i smoked 50plus a day)and like us all smoked tobacco.Do I think its lush and scrummy--no I don't.Does it stop me smoking--yes it does.So for me thats job done.I don't have to like it--i'm fighting an addiction!! the vaping fairy godmother with her magic juice doesn't exist.Yes some of the flavours are great--for a playaround, but I know I would soon get sick of them.If you ate your favorite food every night for a week it would soon not be your favorite.But we all smoked tobacco and mainly the same brand--there is no custard or choccy dip dip cigs.So you give up tonight and go back to your old brand of cigs you will be tasteing the same old same old.Maybe try a different mindset it might just work. I would like to say this is only my opinion Good post this. No matter how insipid or crap a juice tastes, I don't understand how it could possibly compare with the crappy taste of fags. I've been mixing my own for about three months and I'm still rubbish at it, and have yet to mix a juice which I've thought is great. Some are quite nice, others aren't, but there's no way that a poor juice will send me back to the fags. I never smoked for the great taste, I smoked for the nicotine. And because it made me look cool. |

I have. He wouldn't tell me what juices they use. Did tell me how dangerous it is to order online etc and I should always buy there. Obviously lol. It's dangerous to buy online but won't tell you what juices they use? There's a certain irony there. |

Alternatively, as you have the 325 and might as well use it try a hybrid with a core of 325 as this will hold more juice, and an outer wrap of 400 or 500 to give the better capillary action.

I got an email from them today saying that they'll be starting their slow-boat service again next year. Didn't say when next year, mind...  |

Well, I enjoyed reading your musings Moonie.  And, it's very true what you say about the ' hobbyist ' element, I have a friend who vapes . . . all the kit they require is a Ego battery and a mega 510 Atomiser, nothing more - perfectly happy with that. My accumulations are looked at in total horror and disbelief.  Ta, even if you are only humouring me. A mate of mine who got me into 'this' has a few 650 Egos and with dual coil cartos and laughs at my purchases, in particular the 60m of Kanthal I ordered, and asked whether I was building coils or a fence with it. He's happy with his combo and can't see how I can be arsed with fannying around with coils and stuff. I don't know whether I'd have been the same if I hadn't found this place, but the fact I have is due to me searching for alternatives to what I was using at the time, so I suppose it is down to the type of person I am so it would have happened sooner or later. |

If a vw Provari was released for the same sort of price that they currently charge for the vv ,would you buy one, Perps? Very possibly, yes Moon . . . although I'd sell some of my current VV Provari's to fund the purchase. But it would be a ' hobbyist ' purchase I'd be the first to admit. In fairness though Perps, anything over and above a Twist is a hobbyist purchase. I can remember wandering into my local Vaper Trails shop only four months ago to buy some replacement Ego batteries, seeing a Lavatube and thinking that this whole ecig lark looked impossibly complicated. What the hell would anyone do with one of those, I've got my Ego batteries. Slightly off topic, I have to say that I could live without vw having experienced it though. I still need to tweak the Vamo dependent on what I'm vaping, and as far as I can see it makes no odds whether I'm increasing volts or watts, I just do it until the vape is right. Yeah, so I can then swap/recoil heads without having to adjust it, but not having to press the up or down buttons will save me somewhere in the region of five minutes a year, so no big deal. I'll buy another Vamo when this SS one Robby mentioned is released as it's a great device for the money, but if there was no vw I don't think I'd be that bothered. There was no point to this post if anyone's wondering what I'm rambling on about, but I just felt like musing. |

I've only had orders from them via ordinary 1st Class Moon . . . on one order they sent an incorrect flavour , to be fair they responded fairly immediately to my email and sent the correct flavour by return. Sorry you haven't had as good a service from them.  Me too. It's only my second order, and had no problem with the first, arrived a few days after my payment. |

Only made one order with CCW - didn't get a despatch email. After 10 days I hadn't received anything so emailed them to check it had been sent: the response was quick (couple of hours) and said that the order had been sent out first class and that it should have been with me a few days after ordering. After double checking for red cards and ringing my delivery office they kindly resent the order out via recorded delivery - received it the day after. Do they have a phone number on the site? Sounds like they could do with a phone call. Thanks Nick. Yes, they do, I'll be ringing them tomorrow. |

I ordered seven bottles of flavouring on 2nd December, specifically to make Mrs Moon a cinnamon mix she could vape for the next couple of weeks as it's "Christmassy", so I thought I may as well order a few others while I was at it.
I'd not received the parcel last week so emailed them to see whether it had been sent, but received no reply, so left it a few days and emailed them again yesterday, and still no reply.
I've asked for it to be sent to my mum's so wondering if she's just put it somewhere and forgotten about it, as she receives a good few parcels on my behalf and it may have been overlooked.
I'll ring them tomorrow as I'm a bit miffed that they haven't replied to either of my emails, but before I ring and make a nob of myself can anybody tell me the following:-
Do they send confirmation email upon dispatch?
Do they send it recorded or just first class delivery?
Do they ever reply to emails?
Cheers.

Yep Perps, and a glass for that Vodka would be good I assumed that's what the syringe was for. Glasses are for amateurs. |

I must be one of a very few not to like vanilla custard, It tasted so harsh. Did you let it steep long enough though Balllsy . . . the secret to a superb VC . . . PVC or otherwise, is in the time it's left to infuse. Sounds like everyone is making some yummy brews. Had my mixing session this afternoon, those of a nervous disposition or a ' purist ' mixer, please look away now. I mix for myself, so please myself in how I work.  You could do with a few more bottles as I can see little bits of your worktop poking through in that picture. |

Don't think I'd be parted from my Provari's, but never say never . .. I am very impressed with the Vamo and the co-op Zmax though, which for me because of the build quality come second to the Provari. Where the Vamo scores, again for me, is being able to turn it into a 18350 device, that hasn't cost a huge amount of dosh for taking out and about. If a vw Provari was released for the same sort of price that they currently charge for the vv ,would you buy one, Perps? I've seen the Chinese making huge advances in the build quality of their mods in the very short time that I've been vaping, and that is what has let them down previously. It's like they've finally cottoned on to the fact that us westerners want something that will actually last longer than five minutes and have decided to up their game, something we've also seen recently with the introduction of ss atties. They're by no means perfect at the moment as we've seen with Macca having to kick their arses over various issues, but if they continue at the rate they're currently moving at, if in twelve months they're churning out thousands of units per day of great quality gear at a quarter of the price we can buy comparable units from the US for, then it's a no-brainer for all but the Provari die-hards. |
