been watching these for a while now, only a few have been sent to the uk for testing. Looking foreward to the results In fact, to my knowledge, there are currently only two in the country. |

I dont vape in front of my two youngest, 7 and 8 year old.. Why? Because I dont believe that I should provide them that example.
I dont want them to smoke or vape. Nicotene is still an addictive drug, no matter how much safer vaping is, and I would rather them not be addicted.
Conversely, and this will probably open me up for some criticism, my 15 year old daughter was smoking, I knew, and I could do something about it.. She now vapes, thats my choice, I would rather that than she smoke in secret... Her 17 year old boyfriend smoked, he now vapes, I bought him the kit.. Am I happy about it? No. But I prefer that things be up front and with my knowledge... And I control her nicotene consumption... Have now weaned her down onto 5mg mixes..it will eventually be 0mg, and she doesn't notice...

See, I would have thought that the obvious choice for VV in this situation would be a Buck/Boost module such as the PTN04050CAH. I know Christophe had success using a similar module, but something he did with his meant that the voltage was offset by .5v (not sure what he did there).
2000Mah is always going to be enough to power a VV mod. I've had VV mods that run on stacked 300Mah batteries, so that's not the issue. I think the biggest problem here is likely going to be the amperage draw... is the power supply you're using supplying usable Amperage? Many PSU's only supply 150-500 Milliamps which is just going to fail to fire the atomiser immediately...

Anyone got aa GG Slim that they're not using, or would like to sell... pref with batteries, but that's not a deal breaker. Would also prefer with the 510 caps...
PM me if you've got one!

Well that's it guys, all of the wick has now been sent out! Woohoo! In separate news the Second Repairable Atomiser Group Buy is now well underway. I've been allowing people to place orders through the site for a couple of weeks now, but was too focussed on getting the first group buy sorted to properly promote it. I just checked the figures this afternoon and the group buy isn't a million miles off! Remember, in order to satisfy the minimum order quantity requirements we have to order a minimum of 150 metres of 3mm wick and 200 metres of 1mm wick... well, right now both 1mm and 3mm wick orders stand at a whopping 100 METRES EACH!!!! so only a few more orders and we can order more 3mm wick, and a few more orders and we can get more 1mm wick! Up until now, this group buy has been exclusively for members of UKV and AAEC, but now I'm opening up to anyone. So, if you know someone who wants some, if you hear of anyone asking for any good places to get their wick, refer them to groupbuy.vapezones.co.uk Many many thanks for your continued support! Tim |

Easier to explain via video though I think, so I'll put together a couple and post both here and at UKV. Some videos would be great Tim, especially if you include the RTA. I need to get some instructions done for users, but my video-making skills are zero. No problem, I can include the RTA... now that the first group buy is almost complete i'll be finally starting to put together a project I started quite a while ago, which will be an objective set of reviews comparing all the repairable atomisers I can get, and rating them based on performance, ease of use, flavour, aesthetics and price. This will include videos of use and maintenance, along with a written review and appraisal... So far, I have the following attys which will be covered:- RDA RTA A1 A2 A2-T and Mega IAtty G-tank Clearome Mark-T Bug (courtesy of C9V) And each new one that comes around will be added to the list. Going to town on this, a bit.. Anyway, I'll make the RTA and RDA the first on my list to do this week specifically with this wick and hopefully that will help. Tim |

Tim, Would you advise use of goggles & gloves when we're wicking, or was it the sheer amount of cutting and packing that made you vulnerable? Hope your eye is fully healed now btw. Thanks Clutter, my eye was back to normal the following day. Thankfully eyes heal really quickly, and once it was flushed out with Saline it was just a matter of managing the irritation. As far as goggles and gloves are concerned, for insurance purposes (I don't want anyone suing me), I would say that they are a good idea... however, it really was just the quantity that I was handling that exasperated it. I will say though, that it is fibreglass. If you have sensitive skin, then I would strongly advise the use of nitrile gloves when handling fibreglass wick of any kind... If you normally don't have a problem, you should continue not to have a problem, considering the quantities involved though. What I am going to do, is to do some videos to assist usage of this wick, because it is a little different compared to the Bulli wick... not massively though. As Clockworks will attest, even with the 1mm wick, you should be using strands from the wick rather than simply cutting a piece off and using that. If you do that, you'll get almost a dry cartomiser sort of taste, because the amount of wick in the coil is simply too much. What I do, is to measure the piece of wick that I'll need, cut it off, and then separate it into strands, knowing that I'll have a number of good sized strands for a couple of more repairs. Easier to explain via video though I think, so I'll put together a couple and post both here and at UKV. |

Thank you SO much for doing this Tim, although sorry to hear that you ended up in A&E.  It's a pleasure Perpy... and it was my own silly fault. It's that old phrase "Familiarity breeds contempt"... so used to handling it in smaller quantities that didn't think of the consequences in larger quantities! |

Didn't realise my order had "jumped the queue" - much appreciated, Tim. I made your order a priority simply because I knew you were waiting on wick for the RTA. Figured that nobody else would mind given the circumstances |
