I keep thinking of things after I've posted Richard iLardyboy ! How about Inawera although not a newer brand . . . . their regular range and the Shisha, there's a fair number of those that I couldn't be without.  +1 |

I read several vaping forums every week but am only a member on AAEC because it's so well moderated.
When I started vaping, 4 years ago, I kept getting new stuff looking for vaping perfection. Since finding my ideal setup, iStick 30W & Kabukis, I rarely try the latest wonder gear.
Now I tend to check new posts every day but only log in when I want to post.
With no interest in squonking or sub ohming there aren't many posts I want to read.

Whilst not in the same league Perpetua I too suffer enjoy being a concentrataholic. Over 200 at the last count. So I do have Shisha Raspberry. Unfortunately any liquids using raspberry haven't stayed the course. I get the 'Ooh. I like that' but after a while they get replaced by the next Ooh. |

Inawera are my favourite concentrates because I like most I have tried and they are strong.
I only ordered VV because a friend I make for asked if I could make a spearmint for his sister & she uses VV ready made.
I need some Shisha Strawberry so will get Spearmint as well. Thanks. |

When I recoil Nautilus BVCs I use a coil as near to the Naturevape coils as I can:- 2mm inner dia & 1.4ohm.
Now I make the coils with NR legs there's no damage to the grommet from a hot leg which had caused leaking.
By using 5mm cotton tape for the wick there's no damage caused to the coil by trying to stuff too much cotton in it.
A reminder that I offer 1 recoiled BVC for every 2 used genuine Nautilus BVC heads sent to me.

10 iStick 30W with Kabukis (mix of clones & genuine) with 10 different flavours.
All used every day.
Flavours get replaced when I make an acceptable new flavour. The new ones get hammered until the next 'ooh I like that'. Lemon Meringue & Cashew Nougat are the flavours of the moment replacing Gingerbread & Marmalade on Toast.

It didn't matter how well I primed the .6ohm coils they burnt.
This problem is being reported on all the vaping forums I read.
I gave it to a guy I make juice for and told him to soak the coils until juice runs out of them. He gave it back last week because no matter how much he soaked the coils they burnt.

I still have one iStick 20w that I use just for a mint liquid going to bed & getting up.
It has the 'toilet seat' adaptor to protect the soft threads. I kept the adaptor clean & the threads lubed.
It started misreading the coil ohms and I was about to bin it and took the 'toilet seat' off.
uuuuuuuuuuuuugh it was well gunked.
Cleaned & working perfectly. |

It's a definite FAIL for me.
Coil flooded primed before use. When battery lights are 3 or less it's fine. Charge it up and it burns the wick.
It needs a higher ohm coil.

2 coils down & both burnt. First was definitely user error - inadequate priming. Second coil possible user error - may have let liquid get too low.
Anyone else having burning problems?
Will have a go at rewicking one.

djs you are a very bad man I've been a bit smug about only having bought nothing new, except a Nautilus 2, for over a year. Had to go into Southampton yesterday and passing the TW franchise I was drawn in just to find out what a Penguin felt like in the hand. I came out with a blackun and 2 packs of .6 coils. Silicone block removed, coil primed, cartridge filled. Left to stand, vaped - very nice until burnt taste. I'd been told they take a lot of priming. New coil juiced until it was running out of the wicking. Been using it a lot:- flavour is OK, more vapour than I like and it's warmer. I got it to see if I can recommend it to the vapers who moan about the capacity of the tanks I suggest they use. I'll get a couple of cartridges, from FT, so I can pass it round for them to try. Took a coil apart and there's no way I'll be recoiling them.
