Hahahaa!! shinyitus, loves it. Yep course I'll let you know, everything's on it's way now, oh except I just need to order batteries tonight, but I'll review my arse off I expect cos I'll be soooo pleased! Although I 'spect I'll think it's totally amazing, but whether my opinion will be much use I don't know, as I've not tried anything decent yet.. quite yet... couple days to go!! yass!!!

ah-ha! www.volcano-ecigs.co.uk/rubber-drip-tip.html

& thanks charon too! ayee, I've obv got too much time on my hands lol!!

Aww!! feel really bad now esp. as you're giving me the thing which will actually make them useful!! To be honest I was Very Naughty & I think my bank manager is about to deliver a strangulation notice to me personally... eek...!  But I've spent so much money already on zillions of replacement crap bits, loads of clearomisers most of which have been 'dead on arrival' and clone ego batteries 'DOA' as well, that when you recommended the davide to me & I saw a couple of reviews, I thought, well, 'ha! I'm gonna be naughty!'  I get kinda run-away with myself in that way sometimes, probably absolutely no need at all for me to get the aerotank AS WELL (oh no, bank manager's at the buzzer lol!) but I got all a bit overwhelmed in the excitement..!  Hope your shopping list comes into fruition soon me dear.

...and the extremely helpful advice keeps getting even more helpful!! what a lovely bunch you lot are So I've done the deed anyway & got an Aerotank & an Anyvape Davide King.. simply because that's what I'd decided on a few hours ago & having spent at least 3 full-time days reading & pondering I thought, f it, go for it! done. however the thing about BDCs being hard to learn to recoil is very useful, quite likely with a decent set-up I'll be fine with BCCs, so really great of ya Adam78 showing me how to wangle it so I can just fit a single coil in my aerotank, that's crackin!

Just one more wee question about the two chargers.. they both seem able to charge single batteries (i.e. treat each battery independently) which would be kinda nice cos I am used to putting a battery on to charge as soon as it has run out, so then if another runs out while no.1 is charging, I can stick it in & not have to wait for the 1st to finish.. so that's ok as long as I'm right..? Just wanted to check does the Nitecore i4 fit 18350 batteries? I'm sure it must do cos that's exactly what you were showing me Adam, it's just that 18350 wasn't listed on the Nitecore website, only 18650 as well as some others I hadn't heard of! Waa, shock horror! ha!

WOW!! seriously, everyone who has posted here thanks so so much, tons of really really useful advice, especially Adam78 & @the Mod Destroyer!! Jane I haven't checked my pm's yet (will do so just now) but you sending me your sentinel clone is so massively appreciated, really, thanks millions I had no idea there were so many different choices & variables.. god the world of vaping has totally exploded eh!! your advice & link to the davide looks fantastic, (BCC are a priority in this for me cos I've had much better experience with them).. think I'll try one of them instead of a protank as the davide can use both heads so maybe that will give me a bit more choice initially & also if one type is then easier to re-coil myself then that might be helpful too.. Also advice about wicking & silica vs. cotton is very useful, I'll def google for a tutorial. Thank F for the internet.. where on earth would we all be if vaping had come about before we could all share info like this!!

charon, thanks for great link for coiling/wicking materials, aye we were just buying like pre-made coils to fit into old heads, but thanks to Adam78 I've now ordered a multimeter so I'll be able to work from scratch, nice one

Adam78.. haha, wish I had asked this aaages ago!! it was the whole thing about the multimeters being stated as measuring 200ohms - 200Mohms that was doing my head in cos I didn't think it would work for this.. thanks, had now ordered one & looking forward for my first proper coiling experiences lol (if they're anything like my first fag-rolling experiences all those years ago then that'll be a pure laugh!!!) The link to the mods at fasttech is v helpful, obv I'll stick with Jane's sentinel for now but previously I've always had at least a couple of batteries on the go so that'll be good for future; I'm guessing I want to order with the knowledge it'll take a good few weeks to arrive.. but people on here seem to recommend fasttech so you do actually get what you ordered eventually aye? cracking prices compared to buying in the UK.

so.. a charger.. couple of weeks ago I found a clone ego where you could pop the bottom off & replace the battery (aa size) so I went & forked out on a really good ansmann intelligent charger & some maha powerex 2700 batteries.. gutted!! obviously they didn't work cos of the higher voltage needed to power a vapourizer, ooft!! so I don't wanna make that mistake again!!
The battery boy has a charger here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xtar-XP4-charger-for-14500-16340-18350-18490-18500-18650-26650-Li-Ion-NiMh-/291064704763 ;
does that sound good i.e. intelligent & tries not to overcharge batteries etc.?
or would I be better with something like this: www.amazon.co.uk/JETBeam-Intellicharge-i4-V2-Nitecore/dp/B007WSFWPG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391514396&sr=8-1&keywords=nitecore+i4 ? or any other suggestions muchos appreciados? (apologies, for some reason I fall into the habit of made-up spanish & french sometimes, just fer a laugh innit!)

Lastly.. before this becomes my usual essay.. Greg & charon, thanks it's good to hear some advice about the scare stories.. I'm happy to go for the mod transition & I think I'm aware enough that it may take a bit of messing about before I get a good result, that's ok, but I really appreciate the MVP2 / aerotank option as a back-up, I'll def look into that just in case. The aerotanks look/sound crackin, I like the variable air thing.. might just have to try one of them too in a while. To be honest I'm not really the sort for pushing things as far as they can go, & it seems that's the main danger with mech mods - when folk start playing with really high voltages & really low resistances (I think..?!) which I'm not likely to do, I think I'll be satisfied with a more middle of the road setup judging by the GINORMOUS clouds of vape I've been seeing on youtube reviews haha!! I'm very excited!!!

Oh, one last thing.. giles, your dingo looks great! (no connotation intended, ha!) just watched a review by a nice welsh boy puffing huge clouds.. how do you find it for battery stamina, i.e. how long does it last u between charges (&do you use it a lot? - I'm really quite a heavy vaper it seems, eek!)

So in conclusion, for my first 'real' (aahhh, so excited!!) set-up I'm gonna go for an Aerotank and a Davide, I've got my multimeter on order & I'll get some stuff from the wire&things people.. I'll order a couple of batteries from the infamous Battery Boy (&he's local to me, even better!) for the extremely generous Jane's Sentinel, & I just need to get a charger then. Wicked! Thanks extra specially much people!
