I don't know if you are all aware of this but I placed an order with vaporbreak a couple of weeks ago for a load of e-juice (300mls in total) as I have done a couple of times before, as getting it from China works out SO much cheaper.
Anyhow, I got in touch with the site today to find out where my order was and I was told that the Chinese Government have now BANNED export of juice products to a number of foreign countries, the UK included.
He was not sure how long this ban would be in place for and is issuing me a full refund of my order payment.
THIS SUCKS!
I'm not sure how many of you buy your juice from China, but I just thought I'd give you a head's up.
BTW, can anyone recommend a good UK based juice supplier that doesn't cost the earth? I like to buy 50ml bottles as I can't be doing with silly little 10 or 20ml bottles littering up the place!

Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search the forum but found nothing to answer my question!
Thanks.

Hi all.
My atty coils in my CE5s are looking pretty black and tired but they're still working OK.
Is there anything the would tell me when they need replacing, or do I just keep using them till they no longer work?
Thanks.

I'd like to try building / rebuilding my own attys for my CE5 clearos but don't know where to buy the wick and coil wire from.
Can anyone recommend a good supplier?
Thanks.

Looks like the the pharma companies, tobacco industry and cigarette manufacturers have been flexing their muscles again.
Money talks and bullsh*t walks...
And we're supposed to be living in a democracy - the Communist Chinese have more choice!!
Signed.

I have a brand new 20ml bottle of 18mg Cappuccino juice from eXhale's Black Label range that has to go... I can't get on with the sweetness of it so I'm looking to swap for something a bit more "tobaccoey", like Gold & Silver or Virginia. I've literally only used a few drops of this juice so it's as near to full as you can get. What ya got?  |

I hope they are genuine ive got some coming in the post from there. >  Don't know if they are genuine or not but Exhale seem to be good to do business with. I've had trouble with mine and they have sent out replacements, still waiting for them to arrive, and asked that the faulty ones be returned so they can look at them. The replacements were sent immediately I complained, just waiting for Royal Snail to pull their finger out. So they seem keen to sort out any problems  To be completely fair to Exhale, Dan also sent me out a couple of replacement units. No questions asked and he didn't want the old ones back either. Sadly only one of the replacements is leak free, so perhaps it's an inherent problem that he knows about, hence the readiness to send out new ones. With a bit of fettling I've made the others 95% perfect and to be honest I can live with the occasional drop or two in my mouth when vaping - it's a minor irritation! I can see me upgrading my setup to a Vivi and Vamo in the not too distant future (when funds permit) so this current kit will be relegated to the spares drawer! |

Are they genuine units ? ones that are lots cheaper seem a good deal but it the long run genuine are always the best . This is a thing I learned the hard way, I had leaking etc with the cheap units but not with the genuine I don't know - how can I tell the genuine ones from copies? I got them from Exhale... |

I've pulled off the threaded silver collars from both ends of the clear tube, cleaned them off and super-glued them back on. External leaking solved!!!
The only problem left to fix is the slow ingress of liquid seeping down the centre airway and onto the battery terminal. I can't think of a way to resolve this (maybe I'll just have to live with it!) unless anyone can suggest a tiny one-way air valve that can be fitted?

I didn't order the Vamo (next payday!) but I did order 3 x 50mls of juice an Ego-T VV 900mAh battery, a couple of CE5s + spare coils and a couple of lanyards. Total price $49 = £29. BARGAIN!!! Kudos for pointing out this site!  |

Part of the problem is that I can't get excited about giving up nicotine. Yeah, that's my worry too! I quit a while ago using patches and stepping down from 21mg patches to 14's then 7's is a 12-week process, so I'm assuming it'll be a similar length weaning off period. What I don't want is to be craving the throat hit from the nicotine, hence trying to plan ahead! |

Ideally my goal is to eventually wean myself off nicotine, having already made the transition from analogues to my Ego-T system.
My question is this - what is responsible for the smoking-esque throat hit?
Is it the nicotine content of the e-liquid, the amount of VG in the blend, the amount of vapour produced or the resistance of the atomizer?
Is it a combination of all these factors and if so, what do I need to change to compensate for a lower nicotine level in my juice?
I'm currently using 18mg 70/30 liquids and it's pretty similar in terms of throat hit to the old stinkies and I've had no trouble walking past ciggie counters so far but like I said I'd like to drop down to 12mg and eventually 0mg.
Thanks in advance.
