I went from cigalikes to the Evod kit which really confirmed my status as a vapour rather than a smoker I then picked up a couple of the mini protank kits from myepack (great price) to supplement the evods and carried on from there.

I use Torchy's & Efest 18500 Flat Top IMRs in my Nemi clone normally, but have used 18350s and 18650s. Started off using them kicked, but as my confidence has grown, don't bother with the kick at all now. It is just a matter of working out which combination of tubes +/- kick ring is best for the size of battery. If using 18350s try using the smallest tube with the extra kick ring or just the 18500 tube.

Had mine since Sept and had no problems with mini & full size Protanks, evods or my Russian clone but not had any iClears on it. Have you tried an ego to ego or 510 adapter to see if that is any better?

I'm a left hander. Like many of you, I was forced to use my right hand to write with in Primary school. Got many a wack with the ruler if I forgot and used my left hand. Consequently I use either hand for different things - write left handed, catch and throw balls right handed, play a gutar left handed, comfortable holding a mod in either and coil using both hands

Tried the Liquid Amber and promptly ordered another 30ml along with blackberry and kiwi! Reminds me a little bit of Mrs Lord's Navy Cut but without the coconut tones. Looking to try out some more flavours over the weekend. ps: Thanks for the extra bottle of Lime

lenny59 I got this one www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006473/1552300-russian-91-styled-rebuildable-atomizer-4-5mlI had trouble with the post screws but seem to be sending SS screws now so its been reported but if they don't, you can buy cheap ss screws on ebay. I think a pack of five is only 99p. I told them about the issue and they have sent out a replacement base ??? so that means I will have two bases Some people had problems with juice channels being to narrow or non existent but people have been using a 1.8 grinding bit to make them deeper to allow more vapour. Some people have reported the threads being awful but many have found them okay. Have a look at the reviews and discussion pages on fasttech The russian I have link has a star rating 4.4 out of five. This would say most people are please with it. I am fairly happy with my one but the channels could do with being a bit deeper. waiting on a 1.8 grinding bit of the neighbour. Overall its quality and whatever problems arises can easily be sorted if the buyer is unlucky. I got this one as well, delivered end of Jan. It came with SS screws and the juice channels seemed deep enough and not had any problems with wicking. Again, my threads were pretty smooth, all but the chimney top which was a bit scratchy to start off with but ok now.

+1 for Torchy's batteries. At least you know they have been tested.

Mrs Lord's Navy Cut is currently my all day vape and is currently in my kayfun Lite on my Nemi. I just love the hint of coconut that comes through I also love their custard cream, better than GVC in my opinion. It is a lovely custard flavour with a nice biscuity aftertaste. Don't get me wrong, GVC is nice just prefer Mrs Lord's.

I started on the JacVapour ecigs, using the PG carts @ 18mg strength. This was enough to get me of the pack of ciggies a day I was on. I soon learned that the trick was to take long slow pulls - I got the feeling that my lungs were filling with vapour and started to get a good throat hit. I have since moved onto an MVPv2, SVD and latterly a Nemesis clone. I still use my jac for when I want a super stealth hit - kept me going on a 24-hour flight to the Cook Islands in the Summer

My daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour in Feb 2012 and following a 17-hour op to remove the tumour, we were sent to Oklahoma City for 10 weeks so she could receive proton beam therapy to the tumour site. The way proton beam works is that it can be shaped to the exact size and shape of the tumour and causes less damage than "normal" radiotherapy to the surrounding tissue.
The NHS paid for the treatment and all the flights, accommodation and car hire costs whilst out there - we "just" had to pay our living costs. There must have been about 6 or 7 families from the UK getting treatment at the time.
The UK is looking at building two proton beam centres, which are hoped to be up and running by 2017.

+1 for the Russian as well. Had mine for a month now and loving it. Dead easy to coil and getting very nice flavour from it.

Tokari is my Maori family name. I was born on the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands and moved to the UK when I was but a lad

I have the Kayfun Lite/Russian 91% clone from FT and found it a doddle to stick a micro coil with cotton in it. I use an M3 bolt (about 2.8mm in width) with 8-10 wraps of .30 Kanthal which achieves around 1.5-1.8ohms depending on the number of wraps. This gives a nice wide micro coil to fit plenty of cotton through, which is big bonus to me being ham fisted and with failing eyesight

I think it is the other way round to some extent. I've only had my Nemesis clone (my first mech mod) for a few weeks and still getting to grips with it but you can't regulate the voltage from the device itself. Basically, it is a battery tube with a + and - connector. When the switch is pressed, this connects the connectors to the battery which completes a circuit delivering power to fire up the coil. How much power (volts/watts) used will be determined by the coil resistance and the power left in the battery. So as the power of the battery drops below 3.6 ohms, the vape becomes increasingly weak. No doubt others can provide a much better explanation

My first order from FT at the beginning of the year cost $78 and wasn't held up by UK Customs at all. I do think there is an element of luck involved here - I suppose at that time of the year they will have been very busy so might have only checked a %?
