I keep meaning to make a basic vape stand, wouldn't be that hard. Mostly would be bottle holder for me. I've got bits of wood, drill bits of various sizes, jigsaw, circular saw, chainsaw even and sand paper. Seen some round bits of wood on eBay that would make it easy to make one that looks good to. You must have some pretty big bottles if you're considering using the chain saw.. .. Well, I've got some left over railway sleepers in garden... that would be one large vape stand! |

If you like red astaire but find it bit sickly you could mix at lower percentage or with other concentrates.
I find a little red astaire mixed with ccw apple or jj Keylime works great.
Full on red astaire I like too though... Most of the time.

I tried the gas hob technique again last night... worked ok, coil didn't get red hot as it does on device but just compressed it again on device after pulsing. Only problem is my fingers feel bit delicate today.... might of cooked them slightly  |

Ah crap, sorry bud, it was dunelm mill, I was in homebase the same day lol www.dunelm-mill.com/shop/culinary-blow-torch-152201This thing just seems to work perfect every time so far, fill easily and adjusts nicely. I have the SVD too same as lenny but I still enjoy playing with the blow torch lol, especially when you start watching all the vids for all the different types of coils and wicks. It's the thing for the micro coils too, getting them totally snug. +1 for the Dunelm jobby. Been using mine for months now and its brilliant. You may also find these very useful for microcoils! Got some normal flat tweezers but just ordered some of these too...cheers bud. |

I've had a look through homebase website and can't find it, was it in a bargain bucket or something? It's about what I'm willing to pay.

I've gone the other way.......I prefer adjusting and firing on my SVD....... Don't get the small one from Buy & Queue (Go systems I think its called).....I made that mistake.....Very difficult to fill with the Butane gas I'm figuring coils will still need some adjustments but to get the basic micro coil outside of device does sound easier for me ans my cak handness lol. |

Got quite a few reviews mentioning it failing, though guess for coiling wouldn't be extreme prolonged use so would do the job, have you tried it? |

Check my coily thread, I got mine from homebase for £9.99 and it's spot on, igniter button and gas controller, take lighter gas and stands up all on it's own I've had a look through homebase website and can't find it, was it in a bargain bucket or something? It's about what I'm willing to pay. |
