boyofford, pop into a locksmith shop or maybe a good hardware shop and get a bottle of graphite powder. Open the locking ring fully and give it a puff of powder then run the ring up and down a few times. Once you have got all the grey crap off your hands the action should be smooth as silk and stay that way.

Haha, I loved that!
It's a bit of a shame that the guy on the left comes over as a heroin rehab tranny ???

This is the one I got for my first RDA and it's a great intro for less than a tenner. Octo RDA

I have to admit RY4 is the only commercial tobacco flavour I like.
There's nothing particularly special about it.

I forgot to mention a simple way of making your own template or jig.
Press the opening of the USB connector into wax, take a rubbing with lightweight paper and a soft pencil. Draw over the outline several times with soft pencil then turn paper over onto thin card and rub over with pencil from the back. Once your outline has transferred to the card cut it out with a scalpel or craft knife. That's your template done.
You can then tidy up the hole before transferring it to plastic or metal to make a permanent jig.

I usually drill two 2.5mm holes next to each other and then file to fit. If I have several to do then I'll usually drill one hole in each on the pillar drill and then cut them all out on the scrollsaw.

Drippers I tend to direct inhale. Nova's etc one good long draw, into the mouth first then inhale. Evods/clearos a double draw then inhale. TBH it depends also on what the flavour/strength/volts etc are. Do whatever you feel comfortable with. I smoked everything I could, fags, rollies, cigars, pipes, they all smoke differently and I find vaping the same. Still have a few of my nice briars left and can't bring myself to mod them

thanks u make it sound so easy so what sort of length shrink will it need and how near would i put it to the pin. hopefully there is a video somewhere PM sent. I'll cut them to length for you. You need about 10-12mm. I let the heat-shrink overlap the entire pin and down the wire a little. Once it's shrunk I trim it flush to the pin with a Stanley blade. I'm doing a couple tomorrow so I can take some pics if you want.

jaysey I can't get the link in your title to work, is it this site? www.cig-eliquid.co.uk/if so, yes I've used them before and I'm pretty sure they're listed on here as vendors He says on info that normal Vg doesn't mix with nic and must use Aqueous Vg ? The VG I've been using for the last year says "100% Glycerol. There are no other ingredients". Aqueous would suggest there is added water, maybe it's added to the nic base?

Greg, if you know what size bore you want and you have a drill press this will sort you out. Buy a meter of 4mm acrylic rod, clear or coloured it's up to you. Also buy a 4mm HSS drill bit and another drill bit to suit the bore you require, e.g. 1.5mm Drill out the drip tip to 4mm. Press fit and/or superglue the acrylic rod into the 4mm hole, then cut off. Drill the new bore at required size. Vape. The drill bit will make the hole slightly over-sized by 0.1 or 0.2mm that's why the glue is usually needed. I drill out to 3.5mm and use a burr or stone to achieve a real tight friction fit so no glue required. You can get an ok result without a drill press if you have a vice to hold the work but it's awkward. I've not found a manufactured bore over 4mm so I use 4mm rod and bit but make sure to check yours. Be careful with shaped drip tips not to compromise the outer wall, a smaller rod and bit may be required.

Congratulations k8. I gave up alcohol completely for the first 6/8months of vaping, as a drinkie and ciggy just went together in my head . . . so I had to kick one into touch temporaily, to succeed in the other. So you've done really well. And then it all went downhill

I wish there was a 'high five' smiley for chykensa, I was thinking that stuff but couldn't find the words. happyloman, you may be struggling now but imagine you are a snake shedding it's skin. It's uncomfortable and doesn't feel good right now but soon you will look back and see the husk you left behind. When you do you will have a new body and a new outlook on life and it feels GOOD!!!
