Without wishing to be obnoxious, I've found that it makes no difference how far the wick is from the centre post.

I'll probably get done for saying this, so send me to bed with no supper..lol A part of me can partly understand why vaping in confined places might be met with objection from non smokers/vapers. When I see the amount of vapor that comes from the mouths of the you tube videos it makes me want to cough just looking at it. I just think if there is half a dozen folk blowing out plumes of vapor it might make people cough, or feel like they about to cough. Mind you I am the only person in my circle who vapes and none of my friends smoke so I do appreciate my train of thought is tarred to fitting in completely with non vapers/smokers. I do appreciate I'm not helpful to the cause with my view but I do partly understand why non smokers/vapers would prefer we didn't in a confined space. I agree, it's the vapour, while so appealing to ex smokers, or giving up smokers, that annoys non smokers. And I can understand that, even if vaping and 3rd party vaping is 99% proved to be safe, it's still a contaminate in other peoples air space. If I was a non smoker/vaper, I would be wondering about it too. Plus of course, there will always be nay sayers, who will say it's bad for you, no matter what. We aren't going to win this one I don't think, we should, but logically, I don't think we are. I do think it's great dinamic's pub has allowed it, even for a short while, my local allows it, but in the long term, we will probably be struggling in pubs.... unless the NHS comes around.

Based on others research, I turn the wick in the coil and keep pulsing until it works.

I have the basic entertainment package, or the one up from the basic, anyway I only ever pay half price sky, when it comes to the end of the half price period, I ring up and either ask for another cheap deal (doesn't often work), or just go straight to disconections and try to leave. If at that point they offer me half price for 6 or 12 months, I'll stay, otherwise I'll leave (with a months notice).
What happens then. is either they ring you before the months end and offer you a deal, or you have to wait until after you are cut off and rely on freesat for a week or 3, then they ring you up and offer you a good deal to return to the fold.

I've just had a look and you can buy them online quite easily. Although if I was planning to do it myself, I would try to find a uk grower that grew them as organically as possible, or the next best thing.

Carefully written "untruths", this does so feel an uphill battle. But on the bright side, if he is writing letters like this, he must be worried.

So in effect it is a waste of time looking for a CE mark? We have two chargers both have the mark. One was bought from Jason ages ago and one from FT but I couldn't tell you which was which as they look the same. That's my considered opinion. I think it's more important where you buy it from, obviously everyone has bad luck with their suppliers, but the better shops in the UK try very hard to get good stuff. I'll totally admit it is a minefield, even the decent name chargers are made in China, but hopefully with much better quality control than the knock off jobbies.

I think the CE marks are just put on by alot of China, whether they are legit or not.
I would go for a named charger, from a decent shop you know/hope is selling real stuff.
I suppose this is for "proper" batteries, not ego stuff. For that you've got to go for legit ego batteries and the charger recommended by the UK store.
I'm not saying non joytech ego style batteries are unsafe, but you don't know what you are getting and I think all this copying and cost cutting to get the cheapest by China is starting to have a knock on effect at last. I expected it ages ago with all the crap stuff around.

It's not a wicking issue, it's a hot spot. Turn the wick within the coil by hand, and pulse, till it stops glowing.
Any bad tastes will come from the hot spot, normally a burnt taste though I've found.
I've give you the best piece of advice you can get about mesh building, only use a little bit on top of SS rope! I've used some for months and haven't had a wicking problem once, when I was totally using mesh wicks, sometimes it worked well and sometimes not.

"May be as harmful as normal tobacco" ... "Potentially carciogenic compounds" ... "Potentially toxic chemicals and metals" ... "Carcoiogenic molecules in significant amounts" Statements like this true or not, make people think, and wonder, and all non smokers, and non vapers who read this would tut at the first vaper they saw, because they believe it. This is a sad fact. Quite right, I read it thinking there must be some new evidence that I must catch up with. But there was none. I bet if my Mum reads this though, as a non vaper she will automatically believe it.

I tried carto's when I started vaping never did like them. So changed to rebuildable's And the difference to really enjoy vaping is immense. When cartos work well, they can be very good, just I had problems with them working well consistently. And when I changed to rebuildables I worked out why. Every 2 days my rebuildable atty needs recoiling (or cleaning/dry burning) to get rid of the gunk build up on the coil, so how people can use cartos for weeks on end, I just can't work out tbh. Everyone has told me that high sugar juices gunk up coils more quickly, but I seem to have found that every juice I've ever used gunks up coils at about the same rate, ie very quickly! I really did enjoy carto tanks for a while, but lets be honest at what they are, a "make do" bit of engineering to make use of existing technology (the carto), they generally improve the carto experience, but the carto is still the weak link in the system. For me, rebuildables make alot of sense, a clean taste, you can see the coil and although I don't need to see it to know when the coil needs changing, my taste buds tell me that, it does help to see how bad it gets, gets me motivated to recoil. I do realise we are all different though!
