What's happened to the Mini Nautilus. I remember when I first tried one 3 years ago the flavour and draw was amazing. I still chuck an Istick with a Nautilus on into my pocket every time I go out.
However, it seems to me over time these have got worse. It must be the coils. The flavour is muted, the draw always seems too tight. I've cleaned the tanks in everything from 99% IPA, Bicarb, vinegar, Ultrasonic Cleaner etc. The coils are definitely genuine and I've obtained them from various sources.
Sometimes I think it's me, but then I recall how good they used to be.
What's going on? HELP!!

I received the Xtar SV2 today. It's actually very similar to the SP2. But the display is very useful as it gives the percentage charge. I charged a couple of 25Rs in about an hour at 2A. What's useful too is that it charges NiMH as well. I've got a couple of 1300 mAH AAs charging at the moment and it seems to charge much quicker than the Nitecore D2, which I'd normally use for NiMH.
Definitely recommended if you like the SP2 or a new charger that can do both slots at 2A.

Could someone please provide a link to guaranteed genuine smok replacement coils for the 3ml baby beast. There are loads on ebay/amazon - but I've been stung before with fake coils from there. Many thanks.

Hi All,
What exactly is the difference between Smok TFV8 Baby 3ml and 2ml Tanks? They look the same to me, I assume they take the same coils (or am I wrong here), so what has been done to reduce the capacity to 2ml due to the TPD rules.
I bought a couple of Smok Alien 220w kits from this forum and the boxes state 3ml tanks. However I want eventually to get an RBA deck, but it seems these are different between the 3ml and 2ml TFV8s. So I'm being cautious before committing.
There is also an extension for the 2ml tanks to make them 3.5 ml. Is there an equivalent extension for the 3ml tanks; to what capacity?
It's all very confusing and this is without even look at the Big Babies.

Thanks. That looks promising. A bit more research on my part has also found the Xtar SV2 Rocket for £20 at fogstar.

Hi all,
I haven't bought a charger for a couple of years now and currently use a Nitecore D2 and Xtar SP2.
I love the SP2 and use it all the time, and the fact that it can charge at 2A is a biggy for me. I'd get another, but they seem hard to come by and the ones I've found seem way expensive to what I paid from Torchy a while ago.
I've looked at the Efest Luc S2 but it's not clear that it can charge 18650s at 2A. Some sites say yes others say only for 22650s and the like.
Nitecores are OK, but they charge quite slowly for my liking. Can anyone recommend a decent 2A charger - 18650 only is enough
Thanks.

A massive thanks to this very kind lady Perpetua. I put up a wanted ad for some concentrates and she certainly went above and beyond.
What she sent me was extremely well packed and even a little message inside the packaging.
I have so many concentrates now I don't know where to start lol
Super fast delivery too, it's been a real pleasure to do business with you.
Cheers again - C

kermitthefogWe met up yesterday evening when he kindly offered me some concentrates to get me started in my mixing journey. The meet was actually in a dark, garden centre car-park bewteen Blackpool and Preston. What a really nice guy and my pleasure to meet him. Shame it was only for a quick transaction. P.S. This was the first time since I started using forums back in 2000 that I have actually met someone from one. Thanks again.
