Rebuilt coils are meant to be better than the originals, actually. You haven't mentioned what gauge wire you're using, how many wraps, or the resistance of the coils you're building. Also, stock heads use silica, not Ekowool.

I have been looking at their website chainmaker they have a place in Chelmsford and Colchester. I fear I have unleashed a beast. seniorphil My husband is very interested in going too, after reading your recommendation. God knows what he will be doing, but he's one of these blokes who likes to fiddle about with stuff. Hi, It's strangely inspirational at Hackspace. I am the only one in London making ecigs, but everybody else is working on such am ecclectic mix of projects. Everybody inspires each other. I am now working on stuff with no connection to mods. It might be the homebrew beer that lubricates our minds. I'll be getting up there in the new year, so you won't be the only one for long, Phil.

Nice, Chris - and exactly what I'm intending to do with mine How does the brass look to you? Is it raw brass, or is it coated?

9.9ohms indicates that no circuit is being made, not a short. Most likely explanation is that the insulator surrounding the centre pin of the Vamo's connector is beginning to collapse, and the pin itself is failing to contact the centre pin of your atties.
First remedy: use a small jeweller's screwdriver to prise the Vamo's centre pin up, taking care that when you're done, it's sitting central in the 510 connector and not touching the threads. It's only necessary to raise it a couple of mm. This will only work temporarily. If you over-tighten an atty onto the Vamo, or use one with a particularly prominent centre pin, it will push the Vamo connector down, and you will need to do it again. And again, and increasingly often.
You can also prise the connector out far enough to slip an o-ring over it, and then push it back in again. I have a V2 of similar vintage, and it's at that stage. I suggest you pick up an airflow control adapter, and once you've done the prising the connector up thing, keep the afc adapter permanently screwed into the Vamo, and screw the atties on top. This will stave off the next stage of Vamo decrepitude, which will be the connector threads giving up....

I found the Grail. Vaped it. It really wasn't all that. I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly, just try as many as you can, work out what you like - and then keep on trying as many as you can. It's about the journey, not the destination.

I absolutely loved the LotR trilogy, especially the first one - but I wasn't at all tempted by The Hobbit, to the extent that I didn't even bother to download it. I doubt I'll be bothering with this one either - or the next one, for that matter.

Do the 'Killer' atomisers not also take res/non res wires? Edit: There's the Fogger V2 too The Killer does need res/no-res, but the Fogger doesn't.

This is a pretty straight Taifun GT clone. I don't see any resemblance to the Spheroid at all.

As an experienced vaper with a lot of advanced vaping hardware and the ability to mix my own eliquid? ... of course not. As a smoker who would dearly like to quit and has failed many times over using NRT and other methods such as going cold turkey? ... in a heartbeat. I don't understand why everyone is so opposed to the cig-a-like since they were the introduction to the wonderful world of vaping for the vast majority of members on this forum ..... I know there are some who were fortunate enough to have had experienced vaping friends or family members who pointed them in the right direction from the start but the humble cig-a-like has been the means of quitting tobacco for many and deserves it's place alongside the other more advanced vaping hardware. I don't think anyone in this thread is opposed to cig-alikes as a general category. Of course they have a role to play. I spent my first six months using a single solitary rechargeable Nicolite with pre-filled cartos. At the time, it was the only thing readily available, and at first I didn't even know what a "vaper" was. It was good enough, and available enough to get me away from smoking - but the Vype is poor, even compared to other cig-alikes. Maybe not the very worst, but IMO not nearly good enough, and I think deliberately so.

Everything about the Vype that I've seen so far gives me the distinct impression that it's designed to turn smokers *away* from vaping: stupidly expensive for what they actually provide, short battery life, no flavour. The only thing they have going for them is the ready availability that tobacco industry marketing and distribution gives them. They will be bought by smokers curious to try ecigs - but not curious enough to research the alternatives - and those people will be mostly unimpressed. Job done.

o hai metaldude - re diacetyl: very small amounts of diacetyl were found in some flavourings in a study that was done a year or so ago. The levels weren't high enough to cause any serious concern, but I believe that the flavour manufacturers have since removed it altogether from their concentrates. I recall that Flavour Art, specifically, changed their recipes to exclude any diacetyl.

hi tommy - you might try diluting the 24mg with VG. 2 parts juice, 1 part VG will give you 16mg. Just try doing a small sample first, see if the flavour holds up. I find most commercial juices have a flavour that's robust enough to stand a little dilution.
