Is is orange only when the battery is charging? If so, it probably means the battery is getting near to full charge.  Is it orange when the battery is not connected? If so, unfortunately, it is probably goosed.  You do have a backup, don't you? ??? |

You'll not go wrong there, JayJ Don't throw out your 'spent' heads though. Folk will alwa ys make use of them. If you get yourself along to local meet, someone will probably rewick them for a pint 
You mentioned 'Stardusts' - not sure but I think they're a (poor quality?) clone of a vision CE4. I have a CE4, and compared to my CE5 and my evods, it's cr@p. Just received my Kanger Protank today (fasttech £8.13) and I can't put it down I believe it will take evod heads, so if you decide to try on (or a mini)...... |

I've got a Galaxy Mini, and this frequently happens. You need to drag the notification bar down, and will be given a thing to end call. (Swipe down from very top of screen) |

OK, so you have 10ml @ 18mg & you want to reduce by 1mg on a regular basis? It is a flavour you like & will continue to vape? You are happy & able to mix a fresh bottle @ different strength? OK - mix 20ml @ 16mg. Add 1/2 of this to your 18mg, giving you 20ml @ 17mg, leaving you 10ml @ 16mg for your next strength reduction. This would save you mixing twice. Just for reference, I started on 24mg, quickly dropped to 18mg, & then started mixing @ 15mg (easier calculations and measurements as my base nic is 75mg). The step from 18 to 15 was hardly noticable, although I think I'm vaping slightly more, due to liking my flavours |

A carto would possibly be your smallest choice?

Not only that, but you have to ensure that the flavours are safe for inhalation - even if something is safe to eat, it doesn't mean it is safe to vape. 28vapes, as chykensa linked you to, supplies LOADS of different brands - if you are unsure of a flavour from another source, pop a question up, aaand someone will let you know if it is safe |

joehel - if you wa nt menthol, make your own - its probably the easiest & will cost you a lot less than £1 for 10ml
Check the mixing board - menthol is very easy to make. If you vape 18mg juice, just get some 18mg base nic, and throw in some menthol crystals from the chemist - if its not minty enough, throw in a few more Thanks, I will check out the mixing board. That's a side of this I haven't dared venture into yet, as I'm a bit worried about mixing nicotine and getting the amounts wrong! You can't go wrong with menthol For 200 ml of 18mg 50/50 menthol you need: PG Nic Base £5.88
VG Nic Base £6.00
Which comes to £14.88 including shipping (discount code LT10 does not seem to be working) Menthol Crystal £1.79 from Lloyds (or other pharmacy). Chuck it all in a bottle together, give a good shake, leave til crystals disolved. There you have 200ml of VERY strong menthol for £16.67 I personally would crush the menthol crystals a bit/lot (they dissolve easier), and add cautiously. You can't get the nic strength wrong, as its all 18mg, so no danger of poisoning yourself with daft-strong juice. Just watch the strength of the menthol. (Someone may be able to give you a better indication of how much menthol you need for 200ml) |

I'm assuming by rebuildable you mean it can be stripped and any failing parts replaced ? I'm pretty useless when it comes to forum searches so I imagine I'll be begging advice if my assumption is correct and it's a cost effective alternative to buying new clearos ? Correct - when the taste goes funky, if you've got one of the ones I mentioned (and several others) you can just replace the head, rather than the whole clearo. You can even replace the coil and wick yourself, thus making it cheaper again - you need to be slightly dexterous and have a multimeter (about £3 from fleabay) to check the resistance - bit fiddly but easy enough. Evods are a popular choice, but the pyrex protanks seem to be coming up in the rankings I've got one slowly swimming towards me from China, so hope it is good. Everyone has their own favourite clearos, so you may need to try several before you find the best one for you. |

zeldamum  You've made a really hard decision, but as things stood, I think you've decided well. The pup will have 'grown-ups' to learn good behaviour from, and you and your family will not have to tiptoe round on eggshells any more. I understand how you're feeling right now - we used to foster dogs, and know how hard it waas when some of them moved on - yours was never meant to move on, so those feelings must be even more intense Chin up - you know where he is, and that he will be very well cared for.

I vape 7-10 ml a day, but I am CONSTANTLY vaping haha after a while you will probably start to do it a bit less, and there's always a way around the cost. One company do a couple of 100ml juices for £17.99. I've just got some from a different vendor (30ml at £7.95) and I estimate a bottle of that to last me 5-7 days depending on how hard I vape haha All the best mate, I hope I've helped you out! hope you love a good vape Hi there! Can you say where you get 100ml for £17.99 and whether they do menthol at that price?? We get through quite a lot of it! Thanks joehel - if you wa nt menthol, make your own - its probably the easiest & will cost you a lot less than £1 for 10ml

JayJ - looking at your setup, I'd say its a CE4 clearo - the same as the one in a blister pack. Unfortunately, they are disposable items, and are not rebuildable. You will also need new clearos fairly soon, although you should be able to wash/rinse CE4s a few times. CE5, evod, vivi-nova, protank, mini versions of the last 2, etc, etc, etc are available and have replaceable/rebuildable heads.(Plenty of threads & advice on those already) As for flavours - I've not sampled a tobacco flavour yet (20 weeks smoke free)

Yes - the coils can pop (did on my evod, & I think they're the same), but not that quickly I shouldn't have thought. |
