I'm actually using the wotofo mesh coil .2 with sweet flavour juices i. e doughnut, cola etc.
Those flavours won't help the longevity of any coils sadly tonec0207.
I don't vape on high wattage, usually around 50 to 60 which coils seems to last well but lacking in flavour.
It's all relative, but that to me is actually on the high side . . . call me a lightweight, but I seldom go above 40-45watts subohming. My two favourite tanks are the Aspire Cleito using the 0.4ohm coil - the Exo here at a bargain price, swap out the bulky installed 0.16 coil and you've immediately increased the capacity to 3.5ml.
My other favourite tank is the Innokin iSub using their Plex 3D coils these I use at around 24watts
With both of these I can use at least 90ml of eliquid before the flavour peaks off . . . . I should add I don't like any throat hit or a ' hot ' vape with my mainly dessert/custard flavours.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any of the equipment that you're using, but having done a swift search it's a tank that the various reviewers seem to rate, although I always take reviews with a pinch of salt I have to admit . . . . so one question would be, what coils are you using as it appears that this tank is also compatible with Smok's Baby Beast range - so it might be worth trying those if you haven't already?
Other questions to ask, what eliquids do you enjoy using as dependant on flavour/sweetness that can also affect coil longevity. Lastly, what wattage do you vape at?

Hoping all of you have survived with little or no damage from this latest onslaught the terrible weather conditions have brought this weekend. . . . thinking especially of any Members in South Wales which has borne the brunt of this storm.

I've got all the linked goodies sat in my Amazon cart ready - so now I just need the camera to come back in stock!

snow, scummerlee . . . . I'm still in ditheration mode, unfamiliar territory for me!
I'd originally thought to spend about £150 all in with a memory card, but I've taken onboard all your comments about having a camera with a viewfinder and thought to myself I may as well push the budget that bit further, after all if the camera lasts 10 years then an investment of £20-£30 a year to take good photo's easily isn't that extreme and I will also get 15% discount from JL.
So! Went to buy the one Tracy linked to this morning, only to find because I've mucked about making a decision - it's out of stock, which is typical. I've signed up for a notification for when it comes back in, which may or may not be at the same price - but that's just bad luck, my own fault.
My next question is, for either of these camera's do I need a memory card? If so would you be kind enough to link me to what would be required. I really do struggle to understand technical stuff like this, my brain is just not wired that way!
Thank you so much. xx

Yep, I get that Raggy . . . . the maddening part is the size restriction serves no real purpose as a deterrent, much like 10ml bottles! My suggestion would be to buy one, see if you like it, then order a couple from FT and be prepared for a wait on delivery - there might even be a discount code in the meanwhile to soften the price. If it's any consolation I'm having a similar quandary over a new compact digital camera, I've looked at the spec of so many now and still not decided which one would suit my needs ( and skills! ) best. Most unlike me as I'm a really decisive person as a rule! xx
ok, so ive not ordered the tank from your link (this one is tank only, many of the others are kits, spare glass, tip, carto etc). my problem is i dont really want to be clouding and many of the new isub plex 3d mesh coils ones seem to be .35ohm rated, best at 30 watts plus. generally im at 8 watts, i dont mind a bit higher but this would be a bit extreme for me i think, do they do these cartos at a higher ohms if so what number am i looking for. tia.
Search for Zenith/Zlide coils Raggy - they're available in 1.6ohm:

is anything coming out of china at the minute, apart from the obvious?
I honestly don't know . . . some of the guys have been waiting a fair old time for orders:

Thank you scummerlee . . . I'll investigate the camera link tonight after work. I'd really like just a point and shoot/auto flash job, that's about my level both technical and photography skill wise! The Fuji Finepix has served me well for years and doesn't owe me a penny considering the use I've had from it, so if I can find something similar that would suit me nicely.
I did buy the Canon printer last night, with my discount it was just a shade over £30 plus a 2 year free guarantee from JL, which I thought was quite reasonable. Also found some different cartridges on JL's website, again with my discount they were just over £17 - so I'll collect both of those today.
Thanks DaveJ, I do use my phone on occasions but have to confess I'm more comfortable using a proper camera - the number of times I've thought I was filming a wonderful doggy related moment with my phone, only to find I've been recording/taking pictures of the ground and my feet.  |

Fab . . . . thank you very much Tracy snow for your advice. 
I'm not sure what discount I'll get on the printer cartridges as techno/white goods we get a lower rate as the mark ups are so much lower, I'll have to check up on that . . . otherwise I can get them from Ebay. As you say all these printer cartridges in relation to the actual printer are much of a muchness price wise.
That camera looks lovely, I'll have to have a cogitate on it as it's rather more than I'd anticipated paying. 
Thanks again. xx

I'm lost in the world of technical gadetry so I thought I'd ask you lovely, knowledgeable people for some advice/assistance before plunging in and making expensive errors!
My overwhelming criteria for anything that has a USB port or needs plugging in to the mains, is that it has to be simple . . . super simple infact! I'm not terribly good with instruction manuals either, boredom sets in after the first paragraph of bumphage. 
Ideally, but not essential - if I can buy from John Lewis, that would be great as I'd get a little bit of Partner discount and a free guarantee, generally going by past purchases a couple of years. Plus with Click and Collect I can collect anything from work.
Although I'm not adverse to shopping at Argos as I've bought a fair number of electrical items from them in the past and have been happy . . . . we've also got a mega branch near to my hairdresser's and I've a hair appointment Saturday, so I could reserve online and collect then. Again I can't be doing with spending hours meandering round shops like a lost cause, so combining excursions always appeals!
I'd like not to spend an arm and a leg either as these items would just be used occasionally . . . . first up on the Wish List:
Compact Digital Camera
My current Fuji FinePix has been brilliant for my needs, taking a few doggy photos and on the rare occasions I have a purge on my vaping related clobber! It's showing signs of age now, the USB port on the camera is worn and I have to hold the lead in to get it to upload to my laptop - which can be a bit random whether it does or not. Automatic flash/focus and I can cope with switching to the Macro thing and I'd probably need an SD card, or whatever they're called.
Second up:
Printer and Cartridges
I've not had a working printer for a while now, don't know what's the matter with the one I've got - I've tried to get ( not very hard admittedly - life's too short ) it going and given up. The ones I've looked at are all Wi-Fi now, hopefully I could manage the challenge as I imagine you've just got to input your router's password into it. ( Aren't replacement ink cartridges expensive in comparison to the cost of the printer!  )
Here's what I've selected from John Lewis:
Haven't studied printers at Argos:
Sooooooooooooo . . . . these are your missions today, should you accept them!

Safely received my little order yesterday, thank you Ian . . . . planning on having a little mixing sess this weekend time permitting. Glad it's with you , let me know on the flavours , any feedback is welcome Ian
Will do Ian . . . although I'm one of those who can wait for a month at least before trying any dessert/custard type flavours, so any feedback won't be immediate on those. Stratus I don't imagine needs so long.

Yes vapeclub perpy. I was more than a bit aggravated initially as after I placed the order they wanted a photo of my passport or licence and me holding it, this seemed more than a little odd to me but after checking around apparently it's not, that aside very impressed. Ref the tank Mandy, could you possibly link some coils, might give this a try,looks simple enough. I watched a t80 kit review and the bloke slaughtered the tank that came as kit, not sure if this is the same, it was only leaking though so not a real review. For some odd reason my cartos seem a mile better, only the 2nd day so this may be the reason there ok,wondering if I was getting spikes or something else that was over burning them, causing them to fail quickly, time will tell. Thank you x
That's almost the norm now Raggy signing up on sites . . . . TPD/negative press etc etc, Vendors have to be careful as you could be an underage person, or Trading Standards who will use such measures to see if the company is abiding by the regulations for ecigs. We get TS send in underage shoppers at our place, seeing if they can catch us out selling alcohol/ciggies - it's no different for online shopping. xx
Anyway, here's some links for coils - the Zlide also takes Innokin Zenith coils:

ordered an istick T80 last night 6:30pm arrived today lunchtime, how'd they do that. ill try this one for a week and get another if alls well. now to find a new method.
Wow that was fast Raggy! Was that from Vapeclub . . . . you'll have to let us know how you get on with it. The iPowers weren't the most popular from Eleaf, although I've been fine with mine, so it looks like they've gone back to ' basics ' with the T80.
I still reckon the Innokin Zlide might be worth you investigating - downside if you buy in the UK is the 2ml tank:
It's a good price at Vampire Vape and the code VV10 may give you a 10% discount. xx
