Right now I have about 40 bottles of DIY juice either on my desk or in my juice drawer. Apart from a little label sellotaped on and the colour of the liquid - there's not much to tell them apart (especially when they're in the juice drawer). I've accumulated a handful of black or orange bottle caps but I thought it would be quite nice to have a wider selection of colours. My little friend Google tells me they exist (see pic) but has failed to provide me with anywhere I can buy them in less than industrial quantities.  Has anyone seen any for sale in the wild? Or am I just being a tad pedantic?  |

One authentic Cobra up for sale.Now sold - thanks!It's the standard 3ml version in plain titanium, sale includes: - Space glass tank
- Allen key
- Original boxes for the Cobra + spare tank
It's been fairly well used - for quite a while it was my favorite atty. Then I discovered drippers so like all my other genesis atomisers it has been gathering dust since. There is some light pocket wear on the top cap but nothing a good polishing shouldn't sort out. RRP: £114 (see alba-vapours.co.uk/cobra-rebuildable-atomiser-3ml) Sale price: £50 delivered, PayPal "friends & family" I'd be happy to throw in some stainless steel mesh and some flat Kanthal wire if this goes to somebody who doesn't already have a drawer full.   Scot's review: |

One of the issues with the Aqua is that adjusting the airflow control also contracts or expands the juice reservoir. When I fill mine it always leaks at first but I've found I can minimise the leaking by filling it like this: - Remove top cap
- Screw tank section all the way down (closing the air flow)
- Fill (not to the brim - leave a little breathing room)
- Put top cap back on and just give it a turn or so to make sure the thread has caught
- Hold top cap and turn the tank section only (opening the air flow) until air flow is fully open
- Screw top cap back on all the way
- Blow out excess liquid onto a bit of kitchen roll by blowing through the top
Works well enough for me but I've heard some folks fill it from the bottom to avoid the leaking. Also - don't fiddle with the air flow too much once full as this can force liquid up into the chamber and cause gurgling/leaking. When the Aqua vapes well it vapes really well so I reckon it's worth tinkering with a little. Shame it's a bit let down by this issue though. |

Looking on the "vapers den" forums there was talk on there about the maker being in talks with a couple of uk vendors so they may be available on this side of the pond soon(ish) Ooo - looking forward to it! |

Saw a mention of these somewhere (apologies for the missing credit - can't remember where!) Balllsy mentioned these on another thread so did a little Googling: www.fatdaddyvapes.com/donuts.htmlSounds like a viable alternative to building one's own coils. Bearing in mind these are a "first generation", I'll be looking forward to seeing how they evolve. |

(edit: I've just followed the link to the clone recipes, and they *have to be* clones of some other "Snake Oil". Bavarian Cream, Pear and Coconut sounds like a promising combination, but there's no way in the world they would taste anything like T-Max's Snake Oil - which is the one the OP was referring to, and the one I was talking about when I mentioned strawberry) Indeed it seems there's an American snake oil: www.seducejuice.com/Snake_Oil.html -> this sounds much more like the original of the above clones! |

I've never tried snake oil so can't comment on how accurate any clone is (haven't tried those yet either!). I believe this is the original : tmax-juices.co.uk/collections/all |

Even having something that wasn't entirely anti on mainstream TV was a win. Sums up my sentiments exactly. Of course a point for point rebuttal for each anti argument & fear would've been better but we're heading in the right direction. In terms of mainstream exposure vaping is still in its early days. As more smokers make the switch and as more research becomes available it's inevitable that vaping will be shown in an increasingly positive light. All we need to do is hang on in there and wait for the hysterical tantrums of those who have much to lose to pass. |

There are a few snake oil clone recipes here. Most seem to be made with pear, Bavarian cream and coconut. |
