Hahahaha! OMG this so made me laugh! Thank you, I needed that!

On topic, ahem, I'm glad you posted this Capt' : for some reason I'm having awful trouble cleaning my clearomizers efficiently too. Looks like an ultrasonic cleaner might be the way to go for me aswell, as so far, no matter what I do I get leaking or air bubbles or burning or SOMETHING going wrong after I've cleaned I don't know what I'm doing wrong - just putting it down to being a noob and needing practice at all this but it's so frustrating! I ended up with a definite pout last night after things went wrong and I gave up again. *sigh*

Wishing you luck!

Hi Smity

As it happens I've been looking into shops local to me in Edinburgh recently and found Emporium Vapour which has two shops here, one in Falkirk - and one in Glasgow. I found this review of the shop at the Forge shopping centre on you tube:



(For some reason you have to verify your age before you can view this vid!?!)

I also went to the branch in Leith yesterday and wrote this little review on the charms they sell:

The only other shop I've visited so far is Vaporized on Leith Walk here in Ed, which would only be any good for you if you didn't mind the journey: vaporized.co.uk

That's as much as I know so far, as far as bricks and mortar shops go, but as many of the lovely peeps on here will tell you, both gear and juice is cheaper bought online.

For juice, there's an abundance of praise here for these guys: www.joosejuice.co.uk I am waiting patiently (not) for a little collection of juices I've bought from them to steep before I try them, but if they vape anything like how they smell atm they're going to be as delicious as everyone says!

Hope that helps

Ohh that does sound like good advice kiwi. I have dermatitis and it's felt like it was getting worse the last week or so - wonder if the high PG might have something to do with that too? Definitely worth a shot at some 50/50 juice I think!

Thanks so much for your help

Oooh, so many welcomes! Thank you very much all Sorry I wasn't able to reply sooner.

Thank you for the congrats on abstaining from the stinkies for a day aswell, although it may have been a little premature lol I chugged along quite nicely to begin with, but pretty soon developed what I now know to be vaper's tongue. By the time I read about what was going on and what to try to sort it, I'd already smoked a fair few ciggies, so back to square one there.

I'm almost out of my favorite Dekang Mocha juice and don't yet have any more. I did buy an assortment of 6 lucky dip juices online at Vaporized, but I think a lot of them may be the ones that can crack the tanks I have so I haven't tried any yet. I also realised that the PG content may be too high for me, (they're all 80% PG 20% VG) as I'm coughing a lot when I first start vaping the mocha- sneezing too but I don't mind that so much lol. It's odd because smoking doesn't make me cough. It's the same sensation I got when I tried the NRT inhalator a year or two ago (one toke and I was coughing like crazy! Most embarrassing!) so I thought it was the nicotine content was too high. Now having read a bit more it seems more likely that the PG needs to be lower, not the nicotine. I intend to try varying both just to see what difference it makes. Waiting for joosejuice to come back from their holiday to browse through what they have, thanks for that suggestion lairey

I've not done very well over the last few days. When I tasted that burnt kinda taste I'd read about I thought it was time to clean or change something and have been trying to find out what to do, but I can't find very much info about the tanks I have. Been getting frustrated - and more confused lol Maybe you guys could shed some light? Like... what's the difference between a 'coil' and a 'head'? And which bits do you soak in hot water? I screwed off the black mouthpiece bit and found the post bit in the middle with the long wicks hanging down from it, took that out and swapped it for the one in the other tank, just so I could get vaping again and it appeared to work ok I think. But now I'm not sure what to do with the old bit. I pulled the wick part out a lil bit and it looks black. Is that actually burnt, or just gunked up? Can it be cleaned or do I need a new one now? And do you replace the wick itself or is it the whole post bit that needs replacing? Could anyone post a link to the type I need please?

Oh, and the other thing I'm getting confused about is ohms and resistance. I don't have the first clue about any of that and it's making understanding the whole thing even more confusing.

To try and counter all this confusion - and also to start taking the advice I see you guys posting elsewhere about getting back ups and replacements - I'm looking to get some more stuff. I've been reading about what you often suggest to others asking for advice and found this; myepack.co.uk/kits/mini-protank-2-kit.html It says it has ego threading on the tank so I'm guessing it will go with what I already have? The tank is smaller capacity to the Kanga T2, doesn't have the measurements on it and doesn't come in pretty colours but it does seem more popular with people and might be easier to get spare parts for without going mental! Plus it's on offer right now at myepack so seems like it might be good value? What do you think?

Another type of tank you guys seem to recommend a lot is this one : myepack.co.uk/clearomizers/iclear-16-dual-coil-clearmiser.html (I think!) but I'm not sure if it will go with the batteries I have. I've no clue about the dual coil bit either - is the liquid heated up at the bottom or the top? Both of these are the glass tank sort (is that right?) so I wouldn't have to worry about cracking anything?

To be honest, I've read so much in the last couple of days all the info is starting to get mixed up in my head and I'm not sure if I've learned anything at all! lol I will have to do something soon tho as I'm trying to make my last lil bit of mocha last and getting cranky in the process! lol

Thank you for all the help you give guys, I really appreciate having somewhere to ask all this stuff!

Take care
