+1 for clonezilla, if you need a ui. But you can't bead dd in a Linux terminal. Think clonezilla uses dd for certain operations? but could be wrong? It does for the copying operations, but lumps partitioning, formatting, compressing, etc commands into a user interface for those that are scared of the command line.

One of my first ego batteries, the +ve wire desoldered itself from the top of the battery. No way I was putting a soldering iron any where near it. The electronics and connector got robbed for a (still unfinished) project.
My v5 vamo had an unsightly air gap (still does), and in trying to carefully remove the top cap, I yorked both wires off the board - they were relatively easy to solder back on.
Never missed a beat with my m16 and sentinel clones - nowt can go wrong with a sturdy metal tube, really!
Oh, and I borked a chivod when cleaning, by managing to stuff the internal tube ( which I reckon is slightly concave) with tissue!

OK - 'twas me that asked how much you smoked, so as a comparison, when I started vaping, I used to smoke about 75g drum a WEEK. I started with 18 & 24mg juice. I now mix my own at 7.2mg! I'd guess you'd want about 18mg to start? Someone else chime in, please, as I may be off the mark! Did you see ronaldo 's post up there about charger plugs? He knows his stuff, so I'd follow his advice on all things electrical! (Disclaimer: I've never met the bloke, and he vapes some weird flavours, but he does know about electrickery!)

Vapers emporium is cheapest for 72mg nic. Iirc it's £41 for 500ml. If u mixing 40\60 I would deffo cut it with distilled water. I do it at 10% water to VG. Just make it yourself, I boil a kettle, pour the water into a pot, place a bowl into the water, then put lid on upside down so the handle is facing downwards. Simmer for 5 mins and u will have about 50ml od distilled water;) Then I add about 18ml to 180ml of VG. Do this! Not really worth buying for the amount you'll need. Personally, I don't dilute VG, even for 60/40 mixes.

ah your a star can you help me with batterys which ones do I need for vamo, I have grey ones but no idea what number they are xx Don't buy batteries on eBay, unless they are from torchy - can't remember his name on there. Found it "Big_f_d_d" You are never sure of the quality of eBay batteries! But, a vamo will take 18350 (short) or 18650 (long).

I don't think you mentioned how many of what, you or your flatmate smoke. This could be relevant in your strength of juice.

Probably try juice juice or smoke rainbow for,smaller samples.
You'll be hard pressed to find one that tastes like a ciggy though!
Also, watch the classifieds for juices people have to sell/trade.
