Amazon sell these bottles cheaper. Albeit you have to buy 100, but they are only about a tenner for the hundred. Group buy? lol.

I originally had a Trustfire TR001 charger. It was pants. Took well over 12 hours to charge a single 18650, and even then, it didn't really ever turn the light on it green. It did cope much better with the 18350's though, and seemed to charge them to full in a few hours. So fine if your running 18350 batteries, not so much for the 18650's. Anyway, I have since bought a Nitecore i4 intellicharger : www.torchdirect.co.uk/batteries-and-chargers/nitecore-intellicharge-i4-li-ion-ni-mh-battery-charger.htmlReview: www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?336936-Sysmax-Nitecore-Jetbeam-i4-Intellicharger-Review-(V2)-current-voltage-comparisonsMuch happier with this charger. 4 bays, quicker charging, better LED's & great reviews, and if you can wait for shipping from China, Fasttech have them for less than £15. I have one in hand, and one on the way from China as a back-up. Have you got the link for China one please wouldn't mind one of these to www.fasttech.com/products/1421/10001638/1292100You can choose EU or US adaptor, and whether or not you want a car charger. I went EU with car charger, just in case I go on extended driving holidays, lol. However I doubt I would actually use it. But I do work in the EU a lot anyway.

Yes, I have this. However, I cannot just enter the recipe as it is quoted above. As above is quoted in drops, and the ejuice prog only allows you to enter percentages. Now if I could enter the drops, then no problem. But alas, you cannot. So, is there a way at adjusting the recipe then? Even if someone could just tell me their formula for doing so, I could make up a spreadsheet to do the donkey work, lol.

Tomorrow should be fine Xs2, it's not a flavour that requires a lot of steeping as far as I'm aware . . . I 'd leave it in the bottle just incase you do want to tweak it a little though. Cool. Nice one. The bottle didn't come with a top though, so I am unable to seal it, or even shake it to properly mix the liquid. Which is partly why I was thinking put it in an evod and give it a good shake, lol.

Also, I have a question about a recipe....
The following recipes are based on using 50mg nic juice
So, how do I adjust this recipe? I have 72mg nic VG base, but have PG and VG base dillutants too.
My target is to make 5ml at 30mg strength. Now there was no indication of the amount of juice the recipe makes (but looks like just over 5ml assuming 30 drops per ml). Is there a calculator you guys use so that I can input the recipe, and adjust the nic levels to give me a similar resultant flavour?

Okay, so it's not really too much of a mix if I'm honest.
But I did just do my first DIY of my all day vape, Iron Brew (can you tell I'm Scottish, and with a sweet tooth, lol).
But I just made the 1 ml of it, as that should be enough to see if I have got the mix right or not.
Now I don't have a dripper, yet, one is on order, but coming from China so might take a while.
So I made it about 5 mins ago. Was wanting to try it out tomorrow though, because if it tastes okay, I'm gonna need a supply of it in the next week or so, so will need a bigger batch. Is this likely to be a good idea (testing it tomorrow)? Or would I be best leaving it longer? Can I load it into an Evod and let it steep in there? Or is it best to steep in a plastic bottle? Obvously having no dropper reduces my ability to trial a few drops at a time.

Yeah, I got one and it fits in my Vamo V4. Only just finished charging it today though, so don't really know how long it lasts yet.

Yeah, depends on the price. And length of time a charge lasts. I was considering an MVP just for the fact it lasts days between charges instead of hours. I wonder how an 18650 copes on this. Although I do like the VW aspect.

Hmmmm.
I'm not so sure now what the problem is.
I got me an iClear30 through the post yesterday, so have been vaping away on it. Put in some Cherry I have (16mg) as it is a nice vape, just no kick to it (although as I type I did get a mini-headrush, but then I have been chain vaping 10 second pulls, so could just be a lack of oxygen). Now this flavour, in the iClear I can vape away happily at 8-10 watts and it tastes fine. To be fair, I vaped the same stuff ages ago in an evod and it was fine then too.
I can't decide if it's the iClear or the juice. And if it's the juice, is it the nicotine strength, or just the flavour? I am confused a little, lol.
I will have to finish out this cherry flavour, and slap some irn bru in it to see what that's like. Of course, by the time I get there, if it is my taste buds playing funny buggers, they could be fixed by then, lol.

I do generally have 2 flavours with me at all times anyway. But recently I just couldn't get enough of the Irn Bru flavour, hence why it's my all day vape. I have a menthol, and a couple different mints, so I'll give them a whirl.
Good thing I got a Protank and an iClear 30 in the post today, but I did load the iClear up with red bull, lol. Albeit only 16mg...
Yeah, I guess it could be the taste buds thing. Nothing has tasted right since I gave that cheesecake a whirl. Man it tasted good for the first couple drags, then it all went horribly wrong, lol.

Are you making sure the Vamo is in the number 2 mode? Is it happening on all your clearo`s Number 2 mode? My Vamo is V4 btw.

I haven't changed a coil head yet, but none of my kit is anymore than about 10 days old now. And I have been rotating through 6 different clearos / tanks, so none of them have had that much use.

Hey guys, looking for a little advice here.
When I first started vaping, a couple weeks ago, I got the 36mg stuff, and it was grand. Hit the spot, and tasted fine.
Now though, it's like I barely get any flavour. I get like a metallic sort of taste. Now I have a Vamo, but I run it on low wattage (generally around 6 watts) as any higher and it just seems to tast worse. Although occasionally I try it at 10 or 15 even, and it is okay, but then the next time it is poop. I often just run my blister pack battery, and it is fine mostly, but again, lacking the taste. I do get throat hit mind, but if I'm honest, I aint a fan. I'd rather loose the throat hit and get more flavour.
Now, I am thinking it MAY have something to do with the nic strength? Or is it just that my buds are now in full vaping swing, and this is what it really tastes like? i.e. I'm slightly desensitised.
Now, today I got some vapemail. Which included my own DIY mixing kit. So maybe not today, but hopefully my tomorrow, if my other flavours come in, I will have a go at doing some DIY mixing. Now is there any advantage in lowering the nic strength a little to release more flavour?
