Is it me or the only difference is that you can fill it from the top  or am i missing something "The main difference with the Unitank is that it can be filled from the top, by simply unscrewing the cap and adding e-liquid directly from the bottle" If it is that is epic fail with a new name  That is what I thought. It does make things a bit easier I guess, filling from the top. But even so, not enough to replace my Protank 2. |

That looks expensive. Original price is $16.99, which is £10.6293 (according to current exchange rate). Will see what FastTech does it for  |

I could spend a fortune ordering various e-liquid flavours and not find one I really like. Maybe I'm too set on baccy flavours, and should consider others. Just the thought of vaping Coke (cola not the white stuff) doesn't appeal to me. So maybe I should consider a mix. The trouble with that is I'm no good with ingredients when it comes to cooking, let alone an e-liquid recipe. What am I looking for? Something that tastes like tobacco (I smoked Old Holborn for years). Something which I can vape all day, i.e. not too over powering. A 100% replication of what I smoked is impossible I know. So, I'm hoping that there is a mixer near me who won't mind if I visit him/her for a few hours and try all his/her mixtures. Failing that, someone who could mix and send me a few samples to try. What really throws me are the mentions of a hint of this and a hint of that. I'm not expecting anything for free |

Looking at the mostly PG liquid I got from Paradise Vape, what strikes me the most is how colourless it is (2nd from the left). Well, almost. Certainly compared to the other bottles. And, no, the Pot Noodles isn't a juice   |

doctorjellybeanif you have moved onto I16s, they are a dual coil so the vape and flavour is greatly enhanced..only problem with them is they suck juice like a sponge.  A V12 car engines uses less fuel than an I16!!! Coke, Dr Pepper, Red Bull .... think I'll pass  |

Results from a quick Google seem to indicate that Hangsen RY4 is a good all day vape. It appears to be recommended to be used as a base for mixing, and not as a standalone? Would I gain anything by steeping my sample, e.g. by leaving the top off for a week or so?

I went to an e-cig store today to pick up a Protank 2 for my new iTaste 3.0 kit. As I've not been happy with the e-juice I'm currently using (18mg Old Holborn from Paradise Vape), I described to the girl behind the counter what I'm looking for, and what I was currently vaping. She suggested that I try a 10 ml Hangsen sample, and gave me this tobacco flavoured liquid. It is 24mg. After cleaning the Protank to get rid of any manufacturing oils that may lie inside (as per Super-Shiny trips and tricks), letting it dry for a few hours, I assembled the tank, poured in some of the new e-juice and vaped. Wow! Now that hit me like the proverbial brick LOL. Now I need to figure out what was the cause of the improvement. E-juice or change of tank (used iClear16 until that point). If it's the juice, are there better brands than Hangsen, Dekang and Liqua? |

When I was still smoking, I treated myself to some Dairy Milk chocolate and a pack of McCoys crisps every night. Now I can barely eat the stuff, it is yucky. The only chocolate I can still enjoy is a Yorkie. Tesco's coffee doesn't taste the same either |

The other thong is that some juices prefer different levels of power to get the best from them.. as you seem to be finding yourself! For instance. I have 4 tanks all set with the same resistance (2.1ohms). Apple pie tastes best at 8w Spearmint tastes best at 6.5w Custard tastes best at 5.6w Parma violets tastes best at 7w Yes, the throat hit is better at higher watts, but too high and you'll just get a nasty burnt taste as you inhale! I'm going to see if the e-cig shop I'm visiting today has any e-juice samples to try while I'm there. doctorjellybeanif you press both of the buttons next to the display together it will tell you the resistance of your attie! Which is 2.2 |

I did try that one as well, the 18 mg. The first one I tried was from ok-smokey: Old Holborn. Maybe I should try the 24 mg from E Vape. |

Tell me about it The juice you are using, are you sure it doesn't need to steep? No idea. It doesn't state anything anywhere. It is from Paradise Vape, 18 mg. |

It does VW or VV - not both at the same time - depending on which mode you put it that's what it will output. I'd leave it in VW mode and up it a bit - try 8w or 8.5w - 7.5w is my sweet spot but its different for everyone Err, what do you mean what mode it is in? Man, the old days were so simple. Baccy in Rizzla paper, roll, light and smoke. |

Not that I own *too many* clearos or anything (cough, cough) but if an iClear isn't hitting, a Protank will be disappointing. Protank(s) need a lot of power (VV or VW) to really pump it out. How high can you go on the iClear before it gets too bad? I'd be looking to get 8 watts no trouble. I'll turn it up to 8.0, and leave the VV at 4.0? |

or am i missing something
