This is a really interesting thread - I'm just looking for tanks to go with my first mech mod and like all that's been said here. In an ideal world I'd spend serious money to get the best - not just in vaping. However this isn't situation I'm in financially lol, so have to consider alternatives. Conversely, I don't have the skills or knowledge (or inclination tbh) to fix issues with cheaper stuff just to make them work like they should. Its from this perspective that one of erik514's posts here struck a chord. The one where he's comparing designer label stuff vs cheap knock offs etc. It's his 3rd option that put me in meerkat mode  i.e. Not high end, not high-end variable quality copies, but the "buy a pretty good shirt without the famous label that will look good, fit well and will last for ages for about the same price as the knock off" option. He recommends the AGA t-2 as a good example of this. Are there many RBA's in this category that people could also recommend? (thinking £20-40 mark I guess) Or do you feel that the high-end priced bits are actually the only ones that deliver the goods and just happen to look nice as an added bonus? Thanks Watch the Classies for a bargain.... a Penelope V1 & a Spheroid sold here in the last week for £45 each, both quality bits of kit. |

Looks like 'Bin Fodder' to me.
Why would someone feel the need to tighten a mod so much that it would do that to a battery?

If you slacken the switch off in the nemmy then unscrew the top pin to allow your atty to sit flush, tighten the top pin again till it contacts the atty, then adjust your switch to take out battery rattle it will get rid of the gap. Not sure that even makes sense to me  Yep that makes perfect sense. Unfortunately the only drawback of the Spheriod on it (except for not being 17mm) is the air intake on the side. Screwing down flush blocks it off and there are no channels in the Nemi. In fact even screwed flush there is still a very slight gap as the brass piece on the Nemi connector is slightly proud of the air adjustment ring. I have it slacked off about 1/8th of a turn and that is enough to get a normal draw from the Spheroid. Down tight there is a paper thick gap, to work with a good draw it's 2 pieces of paper. Hope i explained that in a coherent way You're not alone, I back off my Spheroid on the 22mm Nemesis too, in fact, i think it's the only mod i have that i don't flush-mount the Spheroid. Lovely looking mod BTW. |

If this is still here on friday i'd like to take it, I think it would go well with the VTR. Would you accept bank transfer for payment? Sorry M8, no bank transfer, would have to be Paypal. Penelope is 17mm diameter so wouldn't be a snug fit on the VTR, not saying it wouldn't look good but just making sure you know. |

Hi posted this question on the 'contact us' section of your site but no response yet so thought i'd try here.... Does your 30ml Red Astaire concentrate come in 30ml bottles or are they 3 X 10ml bottles? Also, can you tell me when F'arts RY4 Nutzilla concentrate will be back in stock? Need to stock up on both these concentrates & haven't ordered from you guys before, i like the 30ml bottles you get from T-Juice, they're good for re-use whereas the 10ml bottles are stiff little buggers & end up in the bin. Hi 300 sorry for the delay our 'contact us' part of the site is quite hit and miss with notifying us atm. As Arron has said, the red astaire does come in a 30ml bottle. No problem, thanks for the response, off to place my first order.... |

Longer upper contact Here if required  Have you bought anything from them? Would be interested to know their postal charges, am interested in some 12amp fuses & a couple of std Nemesis upper contact pins but postage from most places make this a bit prohibitive |

I just dilute my VG with 10% vodka before mixing. It's a shame when I get a 500ml bottle of VG I need 50ml of vodka and once opened vodka needs to be drunk immediately or it goes off!   10% Vodka for me too, just mix 22ml Vodka with the contents of a 200ml bottle of Boots value health glycerin, it's still quite viscous at this ratio. Some say the Vodka adds to the throat hit, it's been that long since i used de-ionised water that i can't remember if there's a difference or not. |
