As long as it isn't firing all the time it should be fine. Lucky it's not a greek one

Nice one Buddy thanks, I have a Kayfun tell me do you leave a gap between the coils and the top of the base, Like poke a cocktail stick between them ? Cheers. Yes leave a small gap. I just fix it to the deck fairly tightly and pull it up a bit. Probably just about a millimetre or so

Yesterday another member was having trouble with their kayfun so I thought I would make a small guide to show how I do mine. I am not saying this is the best way, just that it works for me. First off start with a freshly cleaned taken apart kayfun and building stuff. Wick of the day is 2mm silica wrapped with 0.25 kanthal. next I fold the silica so I will have 3 strands going through the coil then using a pin to help strengthen the silica and make wrapping the coil easier I wrapped 5 turns around the wick ending up with place the coil on the build deck and fix it down once you have your coil in place Adjust the size of the loops so they are just big enough to touch the base of the build deck. You don't want them too short and you don't want them to be longer than needed either trim the single strands of silica right back to the ends of your coil next check your resistance is ok assemble the kayfun then add a little bit of juice to your wicks and test it to make sure it works fill your kayfun but don't overfill
stick it on a mod, wait a couple of minutes for the wicks to start working properly and vape on
this is what works for me. No dry hits, no flooding. Just good vapour and great flavour to go with it. Hope this helps somebody

The efest 14650 950mah has a 10C maximum discharge rate so should be good for 9.5 amps, the efest 14500 700mah has a maximum discharge rate of 8C so is good for 5.6 amps. The aw 14500 600mah has a maximum discharge rate of 8C so is good for 4.8 amp.
Maximum amps for your battery is (mah/1000) multiplied by its C rating. All 3 will be well inside their limit at 1.5 ohm

I used to know somebody who never smoked but would encourage other people to light up as he really liked the smell of a newly lit cigarette. Seems very weird now that I can smell them for what they are

Hello everybody, im fairly new to vaping and need some advise on which atomizer to buy iv had egos, viva novas and evod all either produced poor vapor or leaked too much. I then invested in an itaste mvp mk2 that came with iclear30 witch was fantastic for a week but now won't fire for some reason, im guessing the coil is dead. I'm now left with just my Igo-l dual coil dripper so am on the lookout for a new atomizer for my mvp. I prefer a tank rather than a dripper for convenience and don't mind paying for a superior product. any suggestions? You do realise that you can get replacement heads for your iclear? Much cheaper than getting a new atomiser every time

Did you notice the smell? I can't get over how bad smokers smell now. Never noticed it until I started vaping

A few years ago there was a boat lost it's load near where I live but in different circumstances. It was a boat filled with bales of an illegal smoking substance you could say. Customs knew about them and were going to board them inside UK waters so the crew threw their cargo overboard. And yes some of it did wash ashore, you've never seen so many teenage beachcombers in your life lol. Surprisingly this coincided with a massive sales increase of pot noodles in the local ships lol

I don't mind waiting for concentrates to come, it's waiting for new recipes to steep that I am no good at. I made up a recipe for snickers juice and mixed it 2 weeks ago that's sitting tempting me even though I know it will need another couple of weeks

They all look like good kits but another +1 for the kit Karma suggested.

Give it about a week and it'll be in the UK.... No sweat than another week to few days to get out of Heathrow That's about the timing of mine, shipped to uk 26th, arrived in uk end of last week.... but somehow got here only couple of working days later !
Must of been the creative pricing on the packages....$3.76 and $3.72!... that got it to skip customs!
Lol my last one was marked £4.44 which isn't really too far off the price of most of their stuff.
