Thats the thing, not only is snake oil simply lovely, Simon is a great guy too. He has helped me out a number of times and came through when i missed his Christmas delivery cut off time.

i suspect that you havent over filled it. In my ones, i have a micro coil and a small bit of cotton that touches the base to mop up any eliquid but i found that a few drops too many, and it would leak.
Either way, i fond the new air hole made a huge difference to the vape and seeing the coil glow is a nice bonus too!

Personally, i modded mine by sticking a cocktail stick in the hole and breaking it off. If you dont do this, the dripper will leak and spare juice through the original air hole.
Also, the top cap is very soft and easy to drill through

I adore snake oil and it's one I keep going back to. In my experience, it's nicely fruity. I get a citrus, pineapple, aniseed inhale with a cooling exhale. I have tried this in a number of different attics but I prefer it in my kayaks clone at 10w as I think this gives me the best flavour.
I would highly recommend you drop Simon a line and get a 5ml sample. It's how I got hooked! I only wish other vendors of premium juice would do the same

The hole on these is a good bit higher londongemini and matches up really well with the coil hieght  In your pic it is in the second groove up, looks a very similar atty. Mine is the Mini BTW. Hi On my mini, it matches really well. I just enlarged it using a screwdriver as the alloy on the top cap is very soft. On the larger dripper, the air comes in the side and goes through the base and out via a little hole under the coil. For me, this was a bit pants so i drilled a new hole. |

Received mine this morning (signed for). Probably take the pre-installed wick out as I don't expect it to be all that. There was previous talk about drilling out the airhole as it was quite small. May help  I wonder was the drilling out to help with the draw ?, seems fine to me, not too tight ??? I drilled mine out as i found the draw a bit tight. Also the bigger one tends to leak as it has an air hole under the wick. I blocked this with a cocktail stick and drilled a hole higher up so it was in line with the coil.

Has anyone recieved these yet? Just put in my order now... Surprised they were any left! And the all important question for those using theirs - are they any good? Got a couple larger ones and a mini with a couple drip tips. Looking forward to trying dripping! Hey, for £1.20, they are brilliant. I had to drill a new hole on both the larger and smaller one (see my above post with links and info on how to do this) and now i prefer these to my kayfun clones. If anything, the draw on the clones seems too tight now! They are very easy to set up and to change the wick when changing flavours., I would suggest that you bin the coils you get with the dripper and make a nice micro coil. In fact, i like dripping(!) so much now that I think its time for a orieco storm |

Hi
I mixed mine at 20% and found it to be just right and good and strong. You do get a good amount of flavor without it getting too much. Why not do 10mls @ 20% and maybe 10 mls @ 25% of you want it stronger

Thanks for that. I will add some to the shopping list. I choose this as it was the first liquid I was mixing up so I wanted a premixed concentrae.

Thanks for that. I think I will leave this alone for now but having said that, does anyone know of a good bubble gum flavour? Something like hubba bubba would be great.

Hi folks,
I mixed up my first batch last week of tax bubble gum at 20% 14mg 70/30. I have been very good and it's been steeping away in a dark cupboard with daily shakes. I decided to try out a little in my key fun clone and found it to be very harsh on my throat. There is a gum taste but there is also a slight acrid taste too.
As I am new to this, is this something that you would expect to mellow with more steeping? Could it be too much flavour? Could the flavour spoiled? The other juices I mixed from the same base at the same time seem OK so thankfully it's not that.
Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
Ta
