Well done you But beware once you find your sweet spot it's not long before you will catch 'Shineyitis' and start following robby Fastech thread .... A sure fire way to eternal poverty and a large box of vaping kit you want but don't need icon_shoppingm I look forward to it after the journey it took to get there. Thanks again, really do appreciate your offer.

Did not read the entire thread, but the spinner has two levels of charging. Initially the light stays on and then it goes off to finish charging. Just leave it in there till the light turns green on the charger and do not worry about what the battery button LED is doing. Thank you. That was my problem you see, was thinking the LED part was wrong, you live and learn as they say.

Thanks Siffy Just got back from glastonbury and had an amazing weekend, got sunburnt yesterday so all in all a very nice time hope all is well in your world Glad you had a great time, was wondering how you where getting on. Hope the sunburn isn't too sore! Raw, I'll be brief, don't want to bore you or others. Have been using 1.8 attys on the spinner, have been microwaving the juice! Ha ve just learnt about the right settings. Have found it tasteless, burnt and airy for a few days. Cleaned all the attys, have gone throgh 5 thinking they were faulty..lol. Now gotvthe right setting, have popped blue tack on the evod holes and it's all good now. What a carryvon Raw..lol My friend has just texed me, she is seeing Robbie Williams tonight. Has been queuing since 7am and has got front row in the standing. Is made up. I hope she has got her sunscreen, scorching today.

siffy Will have a root about in my vaping box later and see what I can find ... deffo have some new Bauway ce4's and Price Angel ce4's that will never get used , both were great when I started vaping but not a patch on the Evods, protanks or iClears that I prefer now Have never bothered to get into re-wicking myself as most coils are quite cheap if you bulk buy but after reading a few post on here I think it could be my next 'Big Step' as it appears once sussed it can make a good atty even better .... so the quest for the perfect vape continues Stewarty, let me save you the bother of routing. I have just improved my vaping quite by accident. Just had a quick vape, felt less airy, nI accidently had my fingers over the air holes. So I googled the question, can you cover the air holes? I laughed as it brought me back here to Romelees post allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/22461/evod-tips-tricksSo have got my volt setting correct, have bluetack covering one hole, and dare I say it, very nervous incase I jinx myself, but I think I have found my sweet spot! I can taste mint, no chemical, no burnt taste and not as airy. Hallelujah! So thanks again for the very kind offer, but just wanted to tell you before youbwasted time mooching through your stuff, you, like many on here, are very kind.

can take a while siffy to find your feet with this vaping lark but if you start simple as @oneday says it will all fall into place as you go along. Pick a couple of basic attys Evods, ce4's, iclear 16's etc and get spare coils so you don't need to faff about .... just rinse out and replace the coils to begin with, then you can get a few other types later to experiment with. If it all goes pear shaped you will still have your basic atty to keep you going till you suss it out. I have just ordered a load of spare coils, bases etc for the Evods along with some other stuff from Health Cabin, if you want I will send you a couple when they come to keep you going. In fact when I think about it there is probably a lot of basic attys lying about in my vaping box Bauway ce4's etc that I will never use so could fire a couple in the post FOC to let you try them if you want Thank you, that's very kind of you. I am just switching off, to prep for dinner, but will pop on this evening and PM my address, thanks again:)

IT's now 10 happy days that I swapped smoking with vaping . I honestly hardly can't believe it myself that it was that easy - and I can assure anybody who has doubts, if I could do it - you can. I started with the ego and really like it - have just ordered an evod - and am curious about the difference to the clearomiser ( am learning 'Vapish' - the language of vaping now - and I am getting there ) Have also ordered a few more different flavours - as this is going to be a fun experience. Hi Clivia and welcome. I moved from a clearomiser to an Evod and I have noticed one important difference, no leaks, I flooded a new battery with a clearo you see. I am very happy with my Evods and am sure someone else will give you more info on them, I am still new myself. If it doesn't get picked up on this thread I am sure a new thread asking the difference will get lots of helpful replies.

It is Roger, so a huge thanks to you too. Yes, it seems I have been microwaving my juice, suprise, suprise, you couldn't make it up could you..lol I will get there in the end though, I won't give up. There is years and years of accumulated vaping knowledge on this forum, sometimes you have to sort the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. But it is there. Never be afraid to PM someone if you have a question that you possibly don't want to post, or if there is something that you don't quite understand Thank you Roger, that's very reassuring to know, and I will.

I pointed someone else at OneDay sticky earlier, don't know if that's where you picked it up. It is an excellent guide to understanding how to make your 'mizers work better. Nowt worse than microwaving your juice and buggering up your atty. It is Roger, so a huge thanks to you too. Yes, it seems I have been microwaving my juice, suprise, suprise, you couldn't make it up could you..lol I will get there in the end though, I won't give up.

siffy I could weep for you with all the problems you've had. But - I have huge admiration for your courage in trying new things and your determination to get through this and carry on vaping. The short term answer may well be to buy a couple of your chosen clearos and some spare heads, then just take it out of the packet and use it. All the 'maintenance' stuff saves a few pennies but can really fray the nerves. At the end of the day you want your vaping to be a pleasant, stress-free replacement for smoking tobacco. Thank you so much. I am finding it a challenge, I'll be honest, but I will crack on. I might for now just pay more and be stress free, as you say. I am so glad you replied to this as you personally have restored my faithl that I will crack it. I have just read your link, ajusted my volts and it now has a taste, thankbyou so very much. allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/8815/eureka-volts-ohms-watts-101?page=1&scrollTo=204167Just brilliant!

It must be your bad luck siffy as those pins go on and off easy peasey. I think it must be, am having my fair share of that..lol Maybe I was heavy handed and it twisted or something coming out? I don't remember being heavy handed though, but who's to say. I think a greater plan is at work here (if there is such a thing of course) but for arguments sake, say there is, it is maybe a case of...come on Siffy, you can crack this vaping lark, and once you do you are free of cigs for life. I'm hoping that is the bigger picture, it needs to be as if I get fed up of the cock ups I have no where else to go, this is the Last chance saloon for me. Have just read a different thread that has helped me enormously, have been buring my attys out, have pumped up the volume on my spinner too high. Have just read the chart and popped my 1.8 atty on a 3.40 setting and it tastes great again. Have no doubt burnt all the attys from the word go so that's why all week I have had no real taste, just a chemical taste with a note of cinder. They say you learn from your mistakes, if I carry on I will be a ruddy expert by the time I'm finished!

I can see why Romelee advised me not to remove the pin. I did however give it a go, failure I removed all the loose. Wick , checked it wasn't black underneath, it wasn't, then tried to pop the strand back on. Nightmare I was all fingers and thumbs. Popped back on as best I could then tried to pop the pin back on. It wouldn't? Tried on and off for a good 15 mins too. Gave up in the end tbh as I am having a rocky start to all this and had had enough tbh. Just chucked it in the bin in the end. I get the feeling I won't be someone who can master re-coiling for a while, or if at all. Although I do seem to be having one thing after another go wrong , albiet self inflicted cock ups I am not going to give up on vaping. I know with your guys help patience and kindness I will get there in the end. I really am grateful, honestly, and to be totally honezt without you lot I would likely have just thought sod this for a game of soilders, and nipped to the shop for a packet of cigs, so thank you.

Just to update this thread, i took in to consideration all replies & decided in the end to get them 2 blister packs each from Paradise Vape, they have arrived this morning & as my daughter & S.I.L. are joining us tonight for a night on the lash for my birthday celebrations they will have the benefit of a decent vape as i have got them on charge now & filled the clearo's so they will have a good soak before they are used. Thanks for your repies everyone That's great news. My two came today and they are grand, got a free fruit salad juice to sample too. Enjoy the Birthday celebrations.

Although I can understand so many folks buying from Fastech, do remember that most things they sell are copies. Nothing wrong with that most of the time, until you get a dud - will most likely cost you more to send it back to China than what you paid for it. Also got to admit I'm concerned that we could lose some of the excellent UK vendors that work their socks of to provide top whack customer service, if everyone ended up buying from places like fasttech Yes, I agree too. I went a bit diloyal to VE tonight, made a cock up, sorted it, but will keep sending my orders their way as before. Like you say the customer service from UK vendors is excellent, both VE and Paradise Vape in my personal experience. Don't get me wrong, I can understand why people need to spread their money further nowadays, but I agree with you, UK vendors work hard to give us the best custom. Service and deals that they can.

I never knew you could get msg on ebay... Well you learn something new every day. Siffy which flour recipe did you use ? KFC or GFC ? Thanks for posting such interesting recipies. Thank you, I just think it helps give us ideas, meal planning can become a chore sometimes. The KFC one. I might try a tsp of cinnamon next time, Ant could be onto something.

Eeeeeewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was REALLY interesed in this, until I got to the monosodium glutamate bit. If you use good chicken, you shouldn't need bad flavour enhancer. I might try it using brine made with salt, but would certainly not add that stuff to my home cooking. (Get too much of it in takeaways - I do admit it tastes good though ) I have no probs with it, only make this every 7 to 8 weeks so it doesn't worry me. A good alternative is soy sauce for those who avoid MG. I don't eat take aways you see, make my own and only use this product in this.
