You'll be ok for the Zombie Apocalypse then Blakey

Hmmm, I don't recognise that one, both my Ego Cs are Twists... maybe someone will be along in a mo who knows more than I do. But don't charge it til you know what's up with it, if it's got a faulty PCB you don't want to be mucking about with it.

+1 for Eddings. If you don't want the "farm boy has magical powers and saves the world" storyline give the Belgariad/Mallorean a miss and go for the Elenium/Tamuli instead. Sparhawk aint your ordinary fantasy hero - middle-aged, battle-scarred, flawed and grumpy knight. There's a fair few cliches in there, but also some original moments too - not least of which is the Elenium ending which is a bit more "honest" than happy-ever-after (a little like Tolkien in that regard imo). Also The Redemption of Althalus has a thief as our hero, a really good "light" standalone read.

Also +1 for Feist for serious fantasy and Pratchett's Discworld for humour with some breath-takingly astute observations about people and society generally. The later ones are more serious, with the last Snuff one of the most thought-provoking fantasy books I've ever read.

Also you could try Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, I've not read them for years but I remember reading about 5 of them (big thick books too) in a week!

And another +1 for Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Haven't tried their RY4 MP, but can vouch for the gorgeousness of: Afro Dizziac (peppermint/aniseed), Green Steam (blueberry/blackberry), Strawberri, Jack the Ripple (raspberry ripple icecream), High Voltage (cherry menthol), Vamp Vape (caramel). If you already know you like RY4 type flavours, give theirs a go - they make superb juices.

I'm thinking it's either that or the atty's unscrewing on the inside, leading to leaks down the centre tube. Exhale actually says on the site that everything needs tightening up before use as well.

There's also the fact that these are quite high ohms at 2.6 to 2.8 - so it's not going to put out much vapour on that battery. I'd be wanting 2.4 max and preferably 1.8 to quit stinkies.

ETA Greeny if you got the CE5 clearos like the ones from Vaping Vision, I have one of these and I love it. But these ones can be anything from 2 to 2.8 ohms, and if they're on the higher end of that you won't be getting much vapour or throat hit on those either. I would strongly suggest getting 1.8 Rainbows from Vape Escape here: www.vapeescape.co.uk/vision-ego-rainbow-v3-rebuildable~388 and get a few spare heads while you're at it - you can rewick these eventually if you want to, but for the time being it's better to keep it simple and have a new head you can just screw on when the old one gets gunky.

Slightly more expensive is a mini Vivi Nova, also from Vape Escape here: www.vapeescape.co.uk/mini-nova~404 but you do get 3 heads with it (1.8, 2.4 and 2.8, use the 1.8 to start with).

Or you can try the Nano www.vapeescape.co.uk/vision-nano-clearomiser~470 at £3 they're a steal, they hold 1.1ml so not as much as the Rainbow or the Nova but they're cheap and I've heard a lot of good things about them.

And I second Chiller's comments about juice. Don't try to find one that tastes like burning baccy, you won't find one. Instead, pick a flavour you like (fruits, custard, apple pie, mint and so on). Grizwald at Vape Escape does 5ml samples you can try out before you buy a big bottle. If you get one you don't like, don't bin it yet - your tastes will change quite dramatically once you've got rid of the rollies and what you hate now you may well love this time next week (and vice versa).

Replying to myself... Anyhoo, it works! Thanks so much Taz, both my Peppermint Licorice and Italian Cake are now tasting how they ought to. Will upend the bung on all of them. Can't thank you enough - I was going to bin the lot and replace with Rainbows and/or Novas, so you've saved me a fair few pennies!
