Hook some of your wicking wire over the end of the tube then tap the head back on,

PG and vg has a two year use by date,
Hygiene will knock this down I would think, I always decant from the larger bottles to 50ml work from bottles to keep my main stock as clean as poss.
I dont keep anything in the fridge but they say it helps.

Im on day ten waiting a small order, Im not to fussed if it takes twenty so long at it gets here, china post does state 10 -25 working days from dispatch (May require packing time first) Maximum parcel weight is 2 kg!! I' ll be ordering again as soon as I receive the post, the recent bad press has dented my confidence so I dont want too much stuff out in cyberspace waiting to materialize. EDIT, Just checked the tracking, it says Destination United kingdom not found. But the events say , ??, ?? when put through google translate mean, Arrive imports office of exchange, the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom. So Ill be expecting to receive something pretty soon.

Many thanks OneDay , ibalders , Greigster for mentioning the iGo-L....arrived today and got it all setup and OMG it's a cracker, wish i got this before the 306 thingy, didn't get along with that. Atleast with the iGo-L i can now keep my Vision Eternity as a tanky...win win situation I found the drag too tight after a couple of days so decided to drill it a bit bigger. I ended up with a hole a midgies over 2mm that made it a bit on the loose side and a lot cooler. Ill end up getting its tank RBA brother so I can swap the kettle between devices when I want a warmer vape. If I drill out on ther next one it will be smaller than a 2mm hole

I bought a torpedo off a friends facebook friend, its supposedly a lavatube re-brand and that too does not fire all the time.
Something like 1 out of 10 drags, it sent me round the bend starting a long tight drag waiting to savour the flavour.
Its in retirement at the draw as a backup, now when I watch a review and the reviewer holds the atty to his ear Im thinking hes got a dodgy button too.

Conspiracy Theories may or may not have referenced and supporting 'evidence' - as can the 'Scientific' viewpoint. The one thing for certain is that Thesis always leads to Anti-Thesis - whether or not they can be satisfactorily reconciled into an overall synthesis is often less certain Kennedy knew what he was talking about when he warned of a globle monolithic conspiracy only to get blown away shortly afterwards sparking the biggest conspiracy theory pre 911. In 6 years time we will be able to look back and see how we was conned into begging nic containing e juice be taxed rather than banned led by the puppeteer conspirers that are big business, they have no intention of banning the profitable addictive nic. Me thinks Now thats a conspiracy theory to watch out for.

^^^ exactly !!! looking at their proportions charts lower down it suggests using around 30% flavourings.... surely not?? They could have watered them down, I visited the Blackburn store in January and bought my first mixing stuff. I was advised to mix around the 17% mark on the flavouring I bought, by the in-house 'expert' I didnt notice the 5ml flavouring bottles at that time either. Mixing is bound to have an effect on e juice sales, the vendors are going to want to close the savings gap somewhere down the line.

My mix is pretty simple, really, 20% Capella Vanilla Custard, 3% Farts Vanilla Tahiti (Or another Vanilla I like at the time of mixing) in 10mg VG, no sweetener. My current VG base is 72mg from Totally Wicked or 38mg base from a German source and the VG is 85% VG, 15% water from Hedinger (pharma grade). I often mix the finished and steeped VC liquid with other flavours to keep it interesting. At the moment, I use it around 5:1 with 555 from Alien Visions (avejuice.com) - yummy! Thanks for the recipe, Ive been holding off ordering Capella, its going to mean another spending round but it should be worth it. Ill give you recipe a do, Its pretty straight forward so it'll suit me, 30ml per month or Ill never use my other stuff

Thats a serious amount, what do you do with it all, vape it off a sauna Hehe, the VC is my all day vape, I go through 8ml or so a day. My wife uses another 2 or 3. So, 500ml is 50 days of custard, well actually more like 60 or 70. It's not too much =) Sound good whos concentrate do you use? Ive tried flavourarts 2ml sample, it was very good at 20%, from 10ml only the last ml made it passed the steep Will be brewing some more up when I order some more flavouring, Whats your mix ?

In my quest I have tried a number of Y4's, so far I have had: DV's DY4 Vermillion River's KY4 Freedom Smoke's RY4 & RY5 T-Juice's TY4 Royal Vapor's RY4 & RY4M So, what have I missed in my Y4 quest?MP. A brief description of what they taste of.
Ive only tried one Y4, Its LTecigs RY4 the juice tastes of candy-floss, just a bit. The vape tastes of toffee apple or burnt caramel. Do they all taste like this, I really have no idea, Im quite enjoying it, but if Id bought it from the sweet section Id have no idea it was supposed to taste like tobacco.

I know they're generally overpriced, but I've just picked up 5x10ml flavour concentrates for £12.27 delivered on the weekend yoyo Might be of use to some other peeps on here I like there sarsaparilla, Ive been on the lookout to see if other vendors do it but aint seen it about. Its only a matter of time before I end up going back there and ordering some the aniseed was ok too also like the sound of the marmalade Ive not sampled an orange vape.

For tests of completely new recipes I use 10ml pure VG - if it's rubbish after steeping it goes into the sink. For serious tests I usually make 20 or 30 ml bottles. For volume I make 50ml and 100ml bottles, often multiples at a time (My last batch of vanilla custard was 500ml, my last batch of peppermint-menthol was 200ml) I don't think the size of the bottle makes much difference in steeping. Thats a serious amount, what do you do with it all, vape it off a sauna

Thanks oxo and yeh, I over did it lol. I put like 5 of those eardrop sized droppers drops in there! Oops haha. But I did water it down to 1.6% based on drops, but that could I suppose easily be 3%. I will let it steep, if it's still the same I will add another 10ml to it, with will bring it down to 2%. If that fails to work, start again lol. I've got a 1ml syringe so 0.05 ml I could do family easily as the increments are spaced far apart (and it's very thin). If you have a spare bottle try it at there recommended 1%, for maybe a day, 5ml isnt to much to dump if it dont work out, watch you dont numb your taste buds on anything to intense, Ive got 1ml syringes with different kinds of plungers, one kind has a rubber finger thingy that chases all the fluid out to the point of where the needle would be the other kind is just a flat plunger that leaves a tinny drop where the needle attaching thing is, I think your puching it trying to be that acurate doing a 5ml mix and would go for two drops, Thats difficult for me to say as Im all for syringe measures, but that kind of concentrate at low level mls its not that good.

They are meant to be spearmint. But it tastes like well, I'm not even sure, I can get a vague mint flavour in an aftertaste somewhere. Maybe I just mixed it all wrong? iV JUST MIXED A BACCYTino D'Milano Ive just mixed a couple baccy Tino D'Milano from LT a couple of days ago. The guides are quite good, Its the first baccy batch Ive had that gives some flavour. The dropper tips are wide and smooth like the ones they use for ear drops they deliver quite a big drop. If yours are the same 2 drops in 5ml Is slightly over 1%, Theres not really a way to use a syringe to measure 1% in 5ml it comes out at .05ml.

I can't use the vw mode, I always have gotten a off throat hit, if thats the way to describe it.
Im also a bit the same with the low ohms, I sick as close as poss to 2.8 and keep it round the 4.2v, things start tasting not as they should if I stray, but there was a time I could have a play around with the volts and watts and I didn't notice anything tasting blaaa.
Try a cooler wrap and see if it helps.
