Hi folks, as i was running out of juice I nipped out yesterday to a local tobacconist (Brighouse, W.Yorks) that stocks Totally Wicked juice, for a quick bottle until some other brands appear in the post next week, and found they are doing Buy One Get One Free on the TW Red Label range.
(Sorry that should have read, buy two...get one free) cheers mev
It's not the cheapest at £5 for a 10ml bottle so getting three for a tenner was fine by me, gave me the opportunity to risk a couple of new (to me) flavours too.
No idea if it is just this one shop or if all TW stockists are doing the same, maybe someone else will confirm if others are doing likewise.
Have to say I liked the shop, small but friendly and knowledgeable, so if you are somewhere near pop in and grab a freebie, offers on all this month, October

Yep mine gets pretty toasty too, just read on another site that hot water is no good for the nicotine content....seems to be lots of conflicting info out there, i guess its trial and error.

only downside is my cleaner turns off every 5 mins so i think i'll have to see if i can bypass the timer. Not really a downside as you don't want it continuously on for long times as the water will get hot quite quick, put it on for 5mins, leave for 10mins and repeat, just keep a eye on the heat. Ah right you are, i've got a few juices due early next week so i'll try it on a few and leave a few & see if there's a difference :-) I did read on a juice suppliers site about doing this and they suggested having the water "as hot as your tap would produce it", zap them with the UC, then leave the bottles in the hot water to cool down gradually overnight? |

That's great and thanks Romelee for that link, brilliant, i've already got an ultrasonic cleaner and some juices in the post that will need steeping when they arrive, only downside is my cleaner turns off every 5 mins so i think i'll have to see if i can bypass the timer.

Thanks for the pointers folks, especially Karma for that link, but sadly no change it's still dead.
I've just emailled the supplier, not sure what warranty they put on these but fingers crossed its still covered.
Thanks again

That was my first thought, but nope, nothing, 5 clicks is having no effect at all, if i put it on charge the green light stays on on the charger but again nothing from the battery switch or lcd, usually they both light up when on charge, but not anymore, zilch, zip, nada, it would appear to be an ex battery....so young too!

So there I was mooching around all the topics on this 'ere forum, puffing away on my new(ish) eGo-T...and nothing, no light on the switch, the lcd is blank, dead as a dodo???
I only took it off charge at lunchtime and its had hardly any use since, it was still showing all the bars in the lcd and working well...until just now!
I expect atomisers to burn out after a time, but three weeks for a battery seems a bit short lived, is there much you can fix on these things?
They seem pretty well sealed up so i guess that's the end of that, thankfully i've got another so its not the end of the world, but this must be unusual isn't it??

Ordered a few of these yesterday to try after reading this and other good reviews, i can't wait to check them out, literally, i doubt they'll get much steeping time....but i'll try.

I recently bought some Hangsen "New Vanilla" expecting something like custard or cream soda, what i got was what I can only describe as Fiery Jack/Deep Heat menthol camphor rub mixed with a hint of sweat from a turkish wrestler, so there's one to avoid for sure, but i'm still looking for a good custard and will be happily tracking down some of these recommendations

I doubt steeping will make any difference to your Hangsen juices, Vlad as they should be well steeped already. The higher the PG% the more throat hit you get & the higher the VG% you get more vapour. So maybe try 50/50 to begin with or a couple of different mixes as well? Ah I see, many thanks for that Chrissie, makes things a bit clearer, I think i'll order a mixture as you say and see what works for me :-) |

Thanks for the link there Karma, I've bookmarked it to try out, just read the link on "steeping", very informative & I have an ultra-sonic cleaner I bought for jewelery etc, think i'll give it a go with these juices and see if it improves them at all, although the New Vanilla is going in the bin!
What PG/VG ratio would you recommend??
Is it a taste thing? Or is there a "normal" ratio??

I've bought some bits and pieces recently from ebay, batteries,lanyards etc, seems they are letting things through so long as they don't contain any nicotine?
I bought my eGo-T a few weeks ago from fasttech.com, great prices and great service, but tbh I wish i had found this site first and spent a little more, still this ego has got me off cigs so all good really.

Cheers folks thanks for the warm welcome :-)
Postman called a couple of hours ago and dropped off my Evod MT3, much better than the little plastic tanks that came with my ego-T, now all i want is some decent juice, I have about 5 bottles of assorted Hangsen juices but not impressed, especially with their "New Vanilla", I gather "New" means they add Deep-Heat muscle rub to the mixture!!1
I couldn't get the foul taste out of my atomiser for days!
So sat here mooching around the board trying to learn what vapping is all about, puffing away on this new evod & hengsen's banana which seems to be the best of a bad bunch so far.
