How about trying a parallel coil with the 32awg wire?
Its basically a dual coil but in 1 coil lol.
Take a 12 inch piece of 32awg. Flame it.
Then fold it in half, make sure both legs are straight and parallel with no cross overs.
Then just wrap your usual 2 ohm microcoil eg. 7 wraps or whatever.(make sure of no crossovers while wrapping)
The coil will be longer, therefore more wraps, but will be half the resisitence you normally will have.
I am not too sure though if this works with 32awg, but I have one in my dripper with 28awg wire and it's really good.
If you want to see how it's done, riptripper has a vid about parallel coils (and every other coil known to mankind lol)

Hi arron I got mine today, thanks very much for a very quick group buy.  I am impressed so far, my threads weren't that tight, and the build quality is very good for a clone. Currently running a diagonal microcoil (watched vid on Edon mods site lol) @ 1.2ohms and flavour is excellent so far. Very happy  |

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
I wasn't going to create a thread about it lol as the tin box is so rough, but to me it was an experiment, just to see if i was capable of doing it.
Now i have the bug, and i already want to rip it out and put it in a nicer tin box.

I love things like this. Noone can criticize you for using your nouse and keeping costs down on what you probably see as an experiment(?). Having a go is what it's all about. Good on ya!! I look forward to seeing the upgrades  Thanks Ripshod, it was just a trial before i try anything more expensive. I even started to get the hang of soldering before the end lol. |

This is my first ever DIY mod, so please be gentle I had an old Vamo lying around so i thought i would stick it in a tin and see how i got on. Bearing in mind i have never soldered before or used a dremel, but he who dares wins I just reused the top cap off the Vamo as the 510 connection The tobacco tin i used was wide enough to mount the Vamo board sideways so i added a window for the display. The tin is old, but this is just a practice piece and everything is salvageable anyways. I know its rough and ready, but i have been meaning to do one for a while and i had to start some where. My soldering leaves a lot to be desired, so for easiness i just ran a wire from each part and then joined them in the middle. Hence lots of electrical tape I am no where near good enough to solder in confined areas lol.            |

Fully agree with @peratua if you like custards you will love lovechild. Just mix a 40ml bottle, so it uses the full 10ml of flavouring. You will kick yourself if you make 10ml, wait 4 weeks, discover it's lovely and have to wait another 4 weeks for the next batch lol. On a mix you are not sure of, then just do a 5ml sample, so if you dont like it you are not out alot. But lovechild is tried and tested  |

Just got my recent order, i ordered the flavourings on Tuesday at lunch time and got them the next day, brilliant service  Oh and i had 2 bottles of the Chefs re-branded range in the envelope i didn't order, so if it was a freebie, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! If they were put in by mistake, my dog drank them  |

I make my own distilled water.
I just boil a kettle, place a bowl in a pot and pur the boiling water around the side of the bowl.
Put pot lid on upside down and i usually have a smaller pot with cold water on top of the lid.
Let boil for 10 mins, remove pot and lid and you have distilled water in the bowl.
Let cool to room temperature, and i will add 18ml of it to 180ml of VG
No need to say the pot & bowl have to be very clean before using
Oh and this has to be done before making a juice. I wouldn't add distilled water to a ready made juice

The fasttech one has a nano kit included for the same price as the focal one. I have the FT one on order but haven't tried either yet. They are the same atty (Infinite), and both include the nano kit I just think focalecig have faster delivery imo |

As far as i know the Infinite clone you linked to on Focalecig is supposed to be very good. Then look at Supershinys guide on how to microcoil it link |

OOH also if it is VG nic base, then they are normally cut with water already and as Perps said, shouldn't be too gloopy.
If you do cut it with water you will be reducing the nic content as well, so you will have to allow for that as well in your mixes

VG vs avg

Post by jcol on Jul 14, 2014 15:21:59 GMT
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.

davetherayon Hi Dave, thanks again for the sample. I have only had time to put some in my dripper, and so far so good. I am using the same juice as i was before with cotton, to get a good idea about it, and the Rayon does seem to give slightly stronger flavour and throat hit. Its early days i admit, but i will be definately be trying this out in my Kayfuns.
