Can anyone please recommend a good, cheap place to get glass measuring cylinders? Looking to get 10ml and 25ml to start with, then maybe 50ml later if I'm really happy with any mixes and want to do larger quantities. So far the cheapest I have found including delivery is Philip Harris: 10ml is £3.78, 25ml is £3.96 and 50ml is £4.38. www.philipharris.co.uk/productlist/Glassware-Plastics-and-Ceramics/MeasurementAnyone know of somewhere cheaper? |

Another thing I did with the iclear30 after getting dry hits was to cut the notches in the silicone cap a little higher and also cut slots for the 2 sets of wicks that sit lower. Seems to have helped a lot.

I'm planning to drill the airholes on the iclear a little larger with a dremel. I know people have done it to improve airflow, improving it those with restrictive top caps.

My iTaste SVD arrived this afternoon! Ordered on the 14th June. Notified it had been shipped on 15th. FastTech's site said Posting Date was 20th but then I couldn't track it any more. Arrived 26th. Very happy bunny! I ordered an iClear30 from one of our UK stores and haven't been too keen on it. However, on the SVD it seems to be different and I am liking it much more. Not sure what is going on there.  The SVD seems very solid but well balanced. It is taller and wider than the Vamo V2 but it feels good in the hand. I wasn't sure about the framed display but it makes a very comfortable thumb rest and the buttons just seem to fall into place under my fingers. I am very happy with it. I hope anyone waiting for a package will receive theirs soon. It could well be because the SVD has the air hole in the top cap. The Vamo doesn't so airflow is more restricted with the only holes on the iclear being on top of the threads. |

A lot of my China orders haven't arrived in the UK yet according to the tracking but have been delivered a long time ago.
For this reason, I rarely use the tracking websites now unless it's been over 2 weeks which in itself is quite rare.

I got my Panasonic 18650s IMRs from FT yesterday. They took a good 8 hours to charge with the i4. I now have a very large shaft! The Vamo is quite a bit longer too  |

I've just done a test with 10ml water and precision scales and it appears that the ones on the right are either 10ml or a shade under.
The bottles on the left are almost exactly 12ml. Though no massive reason to grumble, getting 20% extra for the same price does put a bearing on where I'll be buying from in the future.

The three to the left are fully filled from one supplier and the four on the right from another vendor are not filled equally or to the same level. The type of bottle is identical:  |

Can anyone please tell me if the faint line near the neck of empty 10ml bottles (going around the circumference) is the 10ml mark.
Reason I ask is that most of my flavour bottles are filled to this mark or even above but quite a few seem to be about 1ml below the line.

Postmodern Smoking Thanks If I had a choice, I'd probably opt for vegetable based even though the end product is probably identical in chemistry. For the main ingredients of e-liquid which I will be inhaling many times a day, I don't mind spending a bit more for peace of mind. stamina - I'm not fussed about exchanging it or getting my money back. It was only £1.29 and it would probably cost me as much to get to and from the Boots that I stopped by in passing earlier today. I'll try using it next time I get a sort throat
