If only they knew the truth about disposables 😕 A certain brand reports they are 20mg. But as they are all made in one factory, and only one needs to be tested before being registered under the TPD, most actually test up to 44mg. So no wonder kids are hooked on them! After a quick skim through  . . . think I'll join you on the Step of Despair Andy ghostrider1971
I know many are anti-disposables, I'm actually not as given the choice of young people smoking cigarettes v vaping then a disposable is infinitely more preferable in my opinion. We've several at work who use them, they have no inclination to try anything more ' advanced ' but, they're not smoking. So who am I to stand in judgement.
What I do object to with these little gizmo's is that the cardboard box they come in plus the devices themselves appear to have joined the general detritus of litter we find on our streets, along with drink cans, takeaway boxes etc etc.
Similarly objectionable is the manner in which the BBC have chosen to portray vaping in general alongside the health aspect, I had thought the media had moved on . . . all in all a totally biased piece of trashy journalism which belongs in the bin itself.
Your stance is well known on disposables DripDrop Vapour - so I wasn't anticipating anything but a negative comment concerning them, to which is your prerogative.
Would you prefer young people or those in an older age range to smoke tobacco cigarettes as that's what it boils down to? Because I certainly wouldn't.
Disposables, whether you, I or anyone else are for or against them - have a place. If there's an axe to grind, it's with the Regulator's and those establishments who sell these devices to those under age.
I might add, that when I first started vaping almost 14 years ago now, it wasn't unheard of for folk to use 54mg eliquid. Many of us threw our hands up in horror at that.
But, they weren't smoking tobacco . . . .

Are these a new batch you've bought Sarah? Or was your original tank actually a T20 and not a T20s?
More questions than answers from me I'm afraid! |

I'm not really au fait with this tank Ratfinkz . . . have you definitely got the correct coils as there's the T20 and T20s and they're not compatible between the two designs.
Just a thought.  |

Was curious that some vendors do 'postage included' over £50 but some can do it at £15
Other than my first uncharitable thought, I guess some have overheads larger than others . . . Business Rates for example like Council Tax, Rent for premises depending on location are going to be higher than others - when I had my shop, those 2 expenses were significant costs. Same could well apply to wages depending on which part of the country a Vendor is located.
We have customers ( not all ) who are constantly carping at how prices have increased, which they have, but haulage costs have also dramatically increased with the price of fuel. This affects all businesses and those price rises have to be passed on somewhere . . . which I don't see as unreasonable.

Is there actually such a thing as ' free postage ' I'm not sure. 
No disputing it's a nice incentive to feel like you're getting postage paid by spending X amount . . . but the cost has to be met somewhere if we want our Vendors to stay in business.
So it's not the be all and end all for me if it's not offered and the goods I'd like to purchase are a fair price.
( Personally I object more to being over charged for delivery when something arrives with a Large Letter stamp on it. )

I'm also going to make a suggestion Neil . . . if your good lady enjoys a Nautilus style vape, these inexpensive little tanks could be worth a punt:
I picked up a couple to take me to ' postage paid ' on an order as I also had the Z coils from the Zlide and for less than a fiver they're pretty good.
Coils last a fair time and are available in a variety of resistances:

No idea what availability is like Neil as I'd think a number are now discontinued - but you might find someone who has something tucked away. |

I am now almost a ' professional ' at gutting these tanks you'll be pleased to know Jim lynxkat ! 
Delighted to hear you're enjoying using it, like the rest of us . . . still using the 0.20hm installed coil which now has had almost 200ml of eliquid through it, however I'm a lightweight in the wattage department as I enjoy a cool vape with zero throat hit - but that's great going I reckon!
Best Recommendation Award of 2022 absolutely goes to striker42 .  |

Perpetua might be a good idea to split this thread as its posted in the crown 2 and really from all our feedback i think the itank needs its own thread.
What I've taken the liberty of doing MrDJ, hopefully Andy ghostrider1971 won't mind . . . is to edit this threads title, as there wasn't much discussion about the Crown once Graham fixed us all up with the iTank! |

Not me Graham . . . 0.2ohm is generally as low as I go and 0.4-0.5ohm is really my range of preference. |

Must confess Andy ghostrider1971 I've succumbed to a couple more on the strength of this one, can't get over what great value they are . . . couple of years ago these would have been £25 all day long!
And one of the chaps at work today asked if I could recommend any online sites for vaping equipment, so I've pointed him towards Vapeclub and E-cigarette Direct - with either of them their service is brilliant.  |

Coincidentally I was only just thinking to myself today that I ought to post an update/thoughts on this really excellent tank.
So far mine has had around 90ml of eliquid through it and going strong on the installed coil - using a considerably more modest wattage 46watts as I can't cope with any throat hit whatsover and dislike a ' hot vape ' . . . for me this is right up there with the iSub and Cleito, both tanks I love and still use.
Terrific value for such a well made tank also - best £15.00 I've spent in a long time.  |

oh, ps instead of starting a new post just got this for the first time. guess its my vpn as i changed ip and it let me in but not seen it before even though used nord for past 2 years.
 . . . eek!
Although there's a few sites I use where VPN's are an absolute no, no MrDJ . . . largely community type groups, I guess it's in an attempt to prevent spammers/scammers access. Not everyone of course uses a VPN for dishonest purposes, but the software systems aren't refined enough to know that!
You've gained entry which is the main thing . . . and I'm pleased a change of drip tip has appeared to work. |
