If anyone buys any rebuildable atomizers, make sure you clean them properly before use, i bought a SQU** clone (The one with Glass tank) and saw loads of machine oil come off it in ultrasonic cleaner, left it in there 5 mins, when drying it i pushed tissue in the drip tip to dry it out and some pretty substantial metal filings came out!. worrying thing is it came pre wicked ready for use!
On the VERY positive side these things are amazing

Firstly Poochops 100mg/ml is illegal in UK anything over 75mg/ml requires a poisons licence!My concern was due to the picture Poochops posted, it was labelled 100mg, thought i should make him aware it is illegal to have in UK without a poisons licence. I made no comments regarding him passing it on!

100mg/ml is allowed in the states
I buy mine from Nicvape too (75mg/ml) it is yellowy but not as yellow as your 100mg/ml, that should make no difference if diluted down appropriately.
I vape Capella vanilla Custard and the stronger the juice the more a peppery taste you get. I have an ultrasonic cleaner and have fast steeped using it, and it is very good(10 8 minute cycles equates to around a weeks steeping) but i never let it get hot!.
I have actually found that when i mix a large batch (250ml) it seems to have a more peppery taste, when steeped naturally than if i use the ultrasonic cleaner!
I actually prefer the taste when i have fast steeped (10 x 8 minute cycles) and then left for about 3 or 4 days, BUT as we all know everyone's taste is different!

I am pretty sure the upper limit suggestion in the latest TDP amendment proposal is in fact 20mg not 30mg and would only be available in very small sealed capsules (with very limited flavours & no menthol).

Was playing about with some flavours a couple of weeks ago, i had bought some Belbake brand lemon from Asda! (Alcohol based) mixed it (15%) with "around" 3% CCW cream and 1% ethyl maltol (sweetner). Used 75mg Pg base and mixed to 25mg with non thinned VG Careful with CCW cream as it is very strong, (I did not record the % of cream when mixing for some reason but sure it was 3 or 4 %) It went very cloudy when mixed and cleared after a week or so of steeping it is about 4 weeks old now and wow! it's almost got a fizz and it reminds me of old fashioned lemonade/sherbet lemon. very nice

Once upon a Time there was a girl with a very big pair of beautiful spaniel dogs who were always licking each others hairy big fat paws. The problem was the girl wanted someone in her blueberry muffin shop after closing time to guard the most prized possession, it was a big black shiny frogster recipe for a special pie. This Special Pie was abit taboo because it contained fantastical magical ingredients like, dragons blood and unicorn milk, spiders teeth and mermaids legs and lots of other stinky nasty bits!
But I digress the girl was eating chicken drumsticks in her pyjamas when suddenly a slobbery hairy spaniel decided to jump on the cat that suddenly appeared wearing a pink love heart onezie covered in cherry ice flavoured e-liquid. The cat managed to wriggle free and quickly ran out the door trying to shake her whiskers dry.
The girl screamed help, im being black cat vaped, then Chuck Norris burst into the room, in a flash he grabbed the Provari with his extra long,dual coil vapouriser! He put it in between her outstretched cool hands. But suddenly the special pie burst,and saturated Her,warm juice everywhere! Slowly dripping down all over her like Chuck Norris's evod when it blew a seal.
What a mess! Running down her neck, chin and covering her large flappy feet. Suddenly!!!! the vape fairy arrived.
Never fear gentle vapers,The Alchemist appeared! The vaped crusader was here to preach the unknown for's and against's this uprising revolution, but before he got out his enormous, heavy sack poof EU appeared! and there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Vamo in hand! and with a puff of vapour Arnie became Vaperman .... Fear not pie-face, I am here,in leopard skin posing pouch ready for your pie. Pass the whipped cream and crushed nuts,hold on tight to my humungus Vamo shaped spatula,Drat Battery Failure!!!! Case of Premature release of juice

Spikus, I know you said you didn't want to wait but when you decide what you want, do yourself a favour and order a Chi You Clone fasttech for £17 you will not regret it, really good quality and combined with an RSST (available for £16 on the site too) I feel i now have a perfect setup.

Two point i would like to throw in here.
1. a don't like using Silica, if you put it in an ultrasonic cleaner for a few seconds the water is thick with tiny particles that have broken off the wick, i don't fancy inhaling them!
2. I Use Genesis type atties My favourite is the RSST, I wick them using S/S wire with a small section of #400 mesh round the top, I use .5 kanthal ribbon and after a year and a bit of trying different setups , this is by far the best for both flavour and vapour production

Quite a shock receiving this email today, thought it was a done deal! Dear Mr XXXXXXX, Thank you for contacting Andrew regarding the Tobacco Products Directive. This is a matter he has been following closely for some time, with his focus being on the restrictions to the strength and availability of electronic cigarettes that are being proposed. He shares your concerns. Andrew has recently been in touch with our rapporteur on this paper, Ms Frederique Ries, as well as a number of other MEPs on the ENVI committee, including Chris Davies. Andrew has made the case through them that the proposed restrictions on E-cigarettes were not fully thought through and would ultimately be harmful to public health. The Liberal group in the European Parliament subsequently co-signed a series of amendments to the Tobacco Products Directive which are quite comprehensive in terms of kicking into touch any plans to restrict the availability or strength of this new technology. Unfortunately these proposals did not win the support of the ENVI committee - I gather that the European Grouping of Socialists & Democrats were instrumental in getting the "regulation as medicine" amendment passed.This is unfortunate and misguided. The Liberal amendments followed from the recognition that although E-cigarettes provide users with a nicotine boost similar to conventional cigarettes, they contain no tobacco, which is the cause of smoking-related disease and premature death. Andrew's view is therefore that restricting the strength of E-cigarettes would undermine their value as a means of weaning hardened smokers off tobacco, which would have a harmful effect on the health of many people and cost the NHS millions of pounds in extra costs incurred. However, the legislative process is not yet concluded. Andrew will have the opportunity to vote on the proposals when they eventually reach the plenary session of the European Parliament, which is provisionally scheduled for 08/10/2013. The Liberals have already tabled a series of amendments to the proposals. We will seek to build support for them in the coming days and weeks. Thank you once again for contacting Andrew. I hope this reply is helpful. Yours sincerely, Kilian Bourke Caseworker to Andrew Duff Liberal Democrat MEP for the East of England Some interesting comments regarding Linda McAvern www.clivebates.com The rapporteur’s case for regulating e-cigarettes

Hi Gappy360, You need to have the coil touching but not tight against the mesh. If you follow Todd's TutorialYou will find it so easy, there can not be a simpler Genesis mod to set up than an RSST I have recently gone to wire rope with a covering of mesh where i wind my 3/4 turns of flat .5 ribbon Kanthal, it is amazing. when you have the hang of it you should try this

ordered an RSST tank from fastech only £16, the metal centre post seems short, when putting together the bottom plate won't screw on unless I slacken the centre post from the top plate slightly, this is now causing juice to leak down the centre and on to my mod. I have another one from a different vendor and the metal centre post is longer and has no leak.
it came with spares in a proper Smoke box and looks genuine
Anyone else had this problem?

There definatley seems to be an issue at the moment, but feel it maybe as customs. I had an order (£42) showing as departing China after 3days, then has just shown as arriving in UK today 12 days later.
