If you go for joosejuice the 10ml testers are a good way of finding what flavours you like... But don't through any you don't like away taste buds change a lot and some of his stuff tastes better weeks later... I wouldn't commit to 30ml(well, actually 60ml Jim sends when you order 30ml) till couple of months into vaping.
I was determined to stick with his eliquid as cheap, and loved it at start but find it a bit dull now, apart from the Keylime.
His mints are strong two but not for me.

I charge an 18350 and an 18650 at the same tie in mine, you can even go off out and leave it as it switches stops charging once the batteries are charged, good piece of kit. Think most chargers if not all turn off on themselves don't they? At least if they are working properly. Personally, being paranoid type perhaps, I don't leave batteries unattended.... Well don't sit there staring at them but don't go out or to sleep with them on charge just in case. Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using proboards |

Postie came today with yet another parcel for someone else ....but then he came BACK!!! Finally the proud owner of an svd and back to vaping the way it should be! Tracking stayed at 'shipped to overseas' from 23rd feb until last night when it changed to 'arrived at destination country.' That's a looooong flight! For a while there I was convinced my mod was on flight 370. One positive came out of this and thats discovering this tracking app for android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveriesYou just add your numbers and it tracks them for you. Hadnt checked for a few days till I got the status change alert last night. Maybe they are literally shipped  |

Well it was surprisingly easy to place the coil horizontal above the screw. I took some picks, will have to post tomorrow now though if you want to have a look. Did one micro coil using 0.25mm kanthal, about eight turns around a 2.5/3mm drill bit(I really should measure it as I've forgot!) Came out at 2.1 ohms. Plenty of vaper for what it is, but I still prefer lower ohm setup for flavour and throat hit, but that's probably just because its what I'm used too. Edit... Here's some pics and a video... I'll post them properly tomorrow when on computer www.dropbox.com/sc/7jtazrty0ycug03/VVT2EIqsypSent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using proboards Couple of pics of my horizontal single coil build with wick going into both wells in link, and a vid of vape produced above smartiesOnly did it to see how easy it would be to put a coil in that position to be honest though as @tazmania441 suggested it(or I did I forget!), not a recommend though it was easy enough, I prefer vertical. |

If you know the diameter of what you are using to wrap coils around, try this, linkjust enter the diameter, size of kantha,l how many wraps you want to use and it will tell you the final oHms number, very handy little program  Here is a pic of what i used ![]()  Its pretty good and close to actual ohms.... but i prefer my guessing game lol. |

Some good tips there thanks boyofford jcol @tazmania441, I'm not planning on going sub ohm yet in fact I've got it on my nemmy with a kick in it at the mo, I've got the hang of micro coils in my russian so not too bad there, the taste is very good but not the vapour I was expecting, having said that it's my first dripper and first dual coil so can't complain, I do like the idea of being able to change juices. Will have to have a google as Todd or Rip Tripper or someone has probably done a vid on setting these things up and I love messing about with my rapidly growing selection of attys. Low ohms and high vg will give you good vapour... but also having the coil above the eliquid so all sides are exposed and good airflow(not a problem in this but you need to line up airholes). The coil in my vid was 2.1ohms but still did produce good vapour considering, not sure if you could see in pics but had no wool in contact with outside of coil. I'm used to lower ohms, so bunged another coil opposite it to make it 1 ohm... but thats just my preference.... I'll probably put it back to my standard 0.7 dual vertical .25mm kanthal build shortly as prefer a quick stronger drag. |

Got it going of a fashion boyofford with 2 horizontal coils coming out at 1.4 ohms, I think that might be a little high, might have to have another go, it's going to be another learning curve but hopefully worth it as I like swapping juices at night so a dripper is ideal. Not sure if you did this anyway but I usually make one coil, fix in dripper and test ohms before making another matching coil when working with new kanthal weight/diameter/leg length so can check I'm heading in right direction. I don't snap the ends of wire off either as can usually add a loop if need to up the ohms so nothing wasted. I'm getting better at guessing now though. If you can then heat the coil with a blowtorch before putting on dripper too... it a bit of a pain in the arse with vertical coils to compress to micro coil when on dripper, I used to do it until got my blowtorch and ruined a few perfectly good coils and had to start again! I swap and change all day, and combine random flavours... I once ended up with a mix of stuff in the a dripper that tasted like eccles cakes! Inculded stuff that shouldn't make that flavour... snakeoil, keylime, menthol, raspeberry from memory and god knows what else. |

Mines just arrived today (I was feeling left out) dinky little thing that will look great on my Caravela can't wait to have a go later, this is my first dripper so vertical or horizontal coils is the question. With the way its been designed vertical is pretty easy in this compared to other drippers.... but you could do either or both as @tazmania441 says... might be hard getting them close in resistance though if one of each  |

Sweet idea boyofford I would put more cotton in the wells less chance of sloshing but still banging out a cloud. Where did you position the air holes on the single set up? I think in video I actually had all air holes open, with one set of holes next to coil. But still more than enough air using single hole, so ended up using.slightly closed single. I used to use more wool in drippers but found I was wasting to much juice re wicking. I actually use less wool than that when using vertical setup over drip well.
