I use the KFL with various devices.
1,7 ohm wick on an N-Zonic V3 mech mod (2.volts drop under load) and it vapes pretty good. 18650 AW fully charged lasts me most of the day but when it gets down to about 3.8 volts I can tell the difference and swap battery's.
1.3 ohm wick on a mech mod with Sigelei Kick flat out has more hit, but seems to loose flavour on any style and height of wick.

Yes Dragon i found i was knocking things over while using syringes thats why i prefer the dropper bottles, i have 4 same labelled bottles that i keep aside 1 for nicotine, 1 for flavour etc & find that as they are the same size & dropper they are pretty accurate & i can hold bottle with one hand & whichever dropper with the other hand. Thanks for your reply Jimthecarper i will see how i go on i might try the 2mg as you suggested.  Everyone will have there own opinion and there own way, and you've got to do what's best for you. But I really don't like "drops" as a form of measurement. Good luck which ever way you go. (Nothing wrong with using a Pipette) |

ahh the wish list.
Doesn't seem 5 minutes ago I was dreaming of an EGO VV or Spinner. Now I'm dreaming of having some money in the bank.
Still I suppose the 7 mods, 2 Kayfuns, 2 Killers, 3 Gennies, 3 Protanks, 2 Dreams, a home made Spheroid and drawer full of assorted atties could be exchanged for the deeds to my house!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Big question you are asking and one that has many answers. My own opinion is as follows, just my opinion. Start with something simple, but reasonable quality and price. Something like the Evod Kit from Vape Escape www.vapeescape.co.uk/Deluxe-Vaping-Kits/EVOD-650/EVOD-650-Kit.html Not the cheapest, but a decent quality, easy to fill, easy to clean and easy to change the heads when needed. Includes 2 batteries, 2 atomizers, 5 spare heads, charger and instructions. Try a good selection of flavours. This is really important. Most kits come with a tobacco flavour and many people dont get on with them. try a couple of fruit, a couple of "sweets" like vanilla etc., and a couple of tobacco. Somewhere out there there is a flavour he will like. Good luck, and don't forget the forum is here to help beginners more than anybody. |

OK, this is just my opinion.
1). Stop mixing in drops. It's not accurate enough. 5 drops from one bottle is not the same as 5 drops from another, etc., etc.
Buy a small selection of syringes and blunt needles. (1ml, 2ml, 5ml and probably a couple of 10ml)
Get some nail varnish and paint over all the markings to stop the PG/VG washing off the lines and numbers.
2). For small quantities reducing by 1mg is going to be difficult. Bite the bullet, go for at least 2mg as this will increase your accuracy.
3). If you are going to vape all the mixes you have made, and not fall out of love with any, (like I do) then I would agree 100% with "Karma" above.
Mix some 0mg juice of the same % flavour and dilute as needed. If your not sure of a juice just don't mix any 0% until you want it. (you will have to steep again)
4). Don't forget that diluting with just PG/VG will reduce the flavour, but by doing a 0% mix this wont happen.
Good luck.
P.S. I dropped form 18mg to 12mg almost overnight. Had a marathon session dropping all my mixed juices.
Was strange for a bout 10 days but great now and saving a load of cash on Nic-Juice.

Ah, it's one of those that I am sworn to secrecy about.
Very handy for me and very little fished as it is a pig to get to.
Bought a Power Porter last year so it eases the pain a little.

Well found a great atty stand today. Perfect fit and portable. Might look at a patent. Might even take it to Vapefest and start taking pre-orders. See you all at Vapefest, have a great day.  |

Just out of interest, why Isopropyl Alcohol.
I always thought it had a strong smell but never used it on it's own.
I know it's used widely in industry as a solvent in paints and thinners and in industrial cleaning agents etc.
It is known to break down cellulose and is used for getting rid of grease and goo.
Why not just boiling soapy water and a good rinse?

Don't bother with fake Evods or T3's they have a habit of leaking juice.
I mix, rebuild, re-wick for a few people at work and just before xmas bought 10 Evods from a well known vendor in China.
6 of them were faulty. 2 had bent centre posts.
If you like the Evod's, why not try the Kanger T3S, same make, same setup, same filling method, but holds more juice and personally I think it has a slightly better draw.

I've had kit from Fasttech and others in as little as 7 days, but usually around 21-30. (always use free postage)

90% of problems with Ekowool is that people tie the wick too tight and strangle it.
It is hollow and actually expands slightly when wet.
I use it for all my wicks except the Kanger range (bottom feeders)
If you can scrounge some, try some 2.5mm silica. Fits the Kangers perfectly and probably the T4's and negates the need for flavour wicks.
If you cant get any, PM me and I will pop you some in the post to try.

Caramel defo 2-4 weeks. Cherry, probably 7 days ish.
Problem with caramel at 15% is it might leave you with a "Licorice-ish" aftertaste.
PA are certainly one of the better flavour suppliers.

Overpriced and underspeced, but just my opinion.
Vamo V3 in stainless from Fasttech for £24 delivered. (in about 4 weeks)
