I am waiting on a nemesis clone from classies... says it's out for delivery but Mr H is normally here by now.... Could be in the house for two days - potential risk of cabin fever  I hope it turns up soon...they promise to deliver within 5 days and I sent it on Saturday, so it had better or else I'll be having angry words with Mr Hermes! I feel your pain, 'cos I might be house bound for the next day or two as well. I finally gave in to temptation and bought a second hand billet box, and I don't think that I've ever been so excited waiting for the post to arrive!  |

Is it possible to recoil the aspire BDC? They look good but if you can't recoil them I am not interested. Rip Trippers has a video of how to recoil it: On a completely off-topic note, his beard has grown incredibly bushy since I last saw one of his videos. It suits his manic look!  |

I can suggest various brands of e liquid that have a good reputation, but I'm not sure what you like so I won't suggest specific flavours. Mrs Lord & Co. make some fantastic juices in a variety of flavours, and they have quite a following. Triphammer and T-Juice are also very popular. If you're looking for 'premium' juices at a premium price, then House of Liquid are very good, particularly for their tobacco flavours. A lot of people rave about Snake Oil (although it isn't really something that I'm into). At the cheaper end of the spectrum, 8bitvape and Vapology offer some good custom made juices with your choice of flavours. You can also get some decent but inexpensive liquids from LT Ecigs. There are loads of other good vendors out there, but that's probably enough to get you started. I'd suggest browsing for flavours you like the sound of and then buying a few to give them a try. There's a lot of trial and error involved in finding juices that you like, but it's great fun - and you can always trade juices that aren't to your taste with other people who like them.  |

Is it a device that you have to sit on every time you buy a new mod, in a desperate attempt to cure yourself of shineyitis?  |

I'm sure that most people could learn to recoil if they wanted to, but I'm really not convinced that most people would want to. I, for one, value the convenience of just popping in a stock head over the higher quality of vape you get from an RBA, so rebuildables just aren't for me. Not everyone is looking for vaping nirvana, and not everyone is the kind of person who gets satisfaction from making coils. I think that RBA users only make up a minority of vapers, and that there are far more people out there who are content with their clearos and who have no intention of getting into rebuilding. And it would be great if manufacturers of more reliable equipment could keep that majority in mind when designing new devices.I understand that one of the advantages of RBA's is that they are fully customisable, but maybe clearos could move in that direction if manufacturers offered a variety of different styles of stock heads for the same clearo. For example, it would be good if you could buy protank heads with standard coils, protank heads with microcoils, protank heads with silica, protank heads with cotton, etc. That would allow the majority of vapers who aren't into rebuilding to customise their vape without getting into the more complicated side of vaping. The majority of vapers that you refer to are well catered for by the mass market manufacturers like Innokin and kanger with their easy replacement attie heads .... this is what the non-enthusiast vaper wants, faff free vaping ... you seem to want the modders like GG, Svoemesto etc who cater for the minority rebuildable enthusiasts to also cater for the mass market by producing a high end device with a replacable head but who among the average non-enthusiast vapers would be prepared to pay around £120 for what would in essence only be a stainless steel protank or similar, albeit a well engineered device? There's clearly no market for a £120 protank, but I do think that we would see more innovation if there was more co-operation between modders and mass market manufacturers. Innokin and kanger could produce better devices if they integrated some of the advantages of RBA's into their devices, and modders could learn a few things from Innokin and kanger about producing faff-free devices that cater for a wide audience. I suspect that at the moment, the mass market manufacturers often don't prioritise designing devices that can be customised by the user, and the high end modders don't care very much about designing devices that are as faff-free and accessible as possible. As I see it, the ideal device is both customisable and simple to use. In fact, I think that we're beginning to see this kind of innovation in devices like the Aerotank, which integrate the simplicity of clearos with adjustable airflow. But there are still improvements to be made, and we will see more progress if both mass market manufacturers and modders are willing to learn from each other. The divide between non-enthusiasts and enthusiasts isn't all that clear cut - there are many people who fall somewhere between cigalike / ego users and RBA users, so it would be good to see manufacturers trying to cater for that middle of the range. |

I think that the more basic gear is fairly simple to use, but unfortunately often varies in quality, which can lead to unnecessary complications. Leaking clearos, for example, are much more common than they should be. These kinds of problems could be solved with better quality control, which we should be demanding from manufacturers. But things are slowly improving, and I live in hope that we will see the development of increasingly durable and reliable inexpensive devices. At the other end of the spectrum, the expensive equipment is typically quite durable and reliable. But I think that it is too complicated to appeal to most people, who aren't interested in spending time and effort on building coils. I think that the next big step forward in vaping will happen if makers of high end devices develop something which offers the same build quality and quality of vape as an RBA, but without the need for rebuilding. I'm sure that modders have the ability to make those developments, but I'm not convinced that they have the motivation. Most of them are enthusiasts who design stuff for the benefit of fellow enthusiasts. They enjoy tinkering and faffing, so they aren't likely to design faff-free devices! I think that this is a shame, because not everyone has the ability or desire to get into building coils, but that doesn't mean that they don't want to enjoy high end equipment and a decent vape. I fully appreciate the point you are making here chris86 but the whole point of an RBA is that the user is able to build the coil and set the device up to his/her exact requirements, not just stick an expensive, stock, mass manufactured replacement head into it. If you were to take any group of, say, Kayfun 3.1 owners, you would be hard pushed to find any two of them that had set the Kayfun up exactly the same. A little bit of effort and practice in making your own coils pays off not only in the quality of the vape but in the satisfaction of knowing that you made it and it cost pennies ... there really is nothing to it and if a ham-fisted numpty like me with bad eyesight can recoil a RBA in less than 5 mins, then anyone can. I'm sure that most people could learn to recoil if they wanted to, but I'm really not convinced that most people would want to. I, for one, value the convenience of just popping in a stock head over the higher quality of vape you get from an RBA, so rebuildables just aren't for me.

I usually prefer top coil clearos, which Innokin do very well, so I'm not that excited by this.

They are but the EMode is cheap enough at this price And the atties have a 28 day warranty Yep....and you can use other clearos or atties on the eMode if you prefer. A good deal at a good price, good luck with your sale. |
