I guess jimthecarper is ok, as he has probably got full wet weather gear for fishing, but it really makes mine leak juice onto the centre pin! LOL


That bit is not quite so good! Hmmm.... LOL

I'm so glad you posted this one, thank you so much; I read it this morning, and tried it just now, first one was a bit poor (1.8) and never panned out, but second one I went for a bit higher as that suits my juice well, got 2.3.

Taking it gently but I have to say it's saved my protanks from near redundancy! It's showing it's not bad at all. Biggest surprise is that the airy draw of the protank no longer annoys, no idea why that would be, but maybe it's just a more satisfying experience over all. 

This is easier than regular eko, or at least I found it so. I rolled the mesh (an off cut from trimming my RSST wick) tight enough round an ordinary household dress makers type pin, and that seems about right! 

It's a good vape at 8 watts on my vamo.   Nice! 

Well, now for an update:

It's nearly a month on from this, and I have made and demolished my first 30ml bulk batch and made another, it seems like Monday is mix day for me now, it's happily fitting into the household routine!

I made a fairly big batch of Ancient Holborn and seem to have gone off the stuff before I even tried it, I got loads of it kicking about here too! I got the recipe about spot on too, nothing like Old Holborn of course, but it's a very acceptable taste to an ex OH user!

I'm getting my kicks mostly from my caramel mix, which is PA all the way at 15% for the current one and will go back to 10% again next time. (Perpetua your buds are certainly shot, and mine are not much better!) I reckon the sweetener could stand knocking back a bit though as I have been making in equal parts caramel and sweetener, and it's just about ok, but not as good as it will be when it's a tad less sweet. Maybe 12.5%/7.5% caramel/sweetener next time.

Got a small bottle of PA maple and so far that's proving a bit aggressive, will have to let it steep a bit more I think!

It's funny but at first I wanted to rush into the thing and could never wait too long before trying a little, and only now am I learning that waiting is well worth doing, and I happily got over to dripping with an IGO-L, which is possibly the most solid purchase I have made to date (although inbound vape mail today might just trump it)

I've now got a 100% mech mod too and that has been interesting, but have also discovered that bottom firing mods are not for me and my poor old hands, they are in terrible shape now thanks to my recent magneto purchase! Don't get me wrong it's a seriously nice bit of kit, but my hands are already in poor shape, and this makes them a lot worse, very painful in fact.

Oh well, an interesting lesson learned there I suppose.

Anyway, so glad I got into mixing my own!

If you are wondering about trying it still, then all I can say is read up very carefully and then go for it. Take your time and it can come right sooner than you'd maybe imagine.

Hi Folks,

I have one ceramic drip tip and now the place I got them from seems to be no longer selling them regrettably.

Anyone know where they keep them in stock these days? Colour choices would be nice too if possible! 

Yes, agreed, I went there too, then realised there must be voltage drop across such a device. In the end I've concluded that protanks are something a lot of us do and then, mercifully, grow out of! LOL 

I hope they all have a good time myself. I may be housebound, but I am looking forward to lots of good and even better videos on you tube this year (please). I'll be there in spirit, feel a bit miffed about the freebies because we all love them of course, but you know, I can't lie about it, it's nicest of all when you get one!

Have one, or even several more, for me all of you who can be there!
