Thank you, mxethey! I know what you mean about the 50/50. Still, this juice is really mellow. I find that a lot of the harshness of the high-PG juices actually come from either a poor-quality base or a clumsy mix of aromas. Here, it's a very soft liquid. It will never make the huge clouds that a 50/50 liquid produces, but in terms of smoothness in the throat, it's not nearly as harsh as an average 70/30 juice imho.

Hi Friends, Here's a review of a French juice, but don't let that stop you This manufacturer makes some of the finest juices I know. Without them I would very likely still be on analogs. Sensual Marrakech by E-Volutes, FranceThis is a voluptuous, nearly curvaceous, juice. The main flavours are : orange blossom water, almonds, honey, and cinnamon. In the background, you can taste a hint of citrus fruit and sumac. First off, you get the honey and almonds, like a true Moroccan pastry. So, you're thinking, this is going to be on the sweet side. But then, the orange blossom and citrus refresh the mix and transport you to an evening on a Moroccan terrace. The cinnamon is actually "cannella", a more grown-up, more serious kind of cinnamon. It completes the mix with an oriental touch but not quite like in a classic pastry. It feels more like getting whiffs from the spice stands while strolling through the souks of Marrakech. I honestly thought this wouldn't be for me. It sounded too sweet. But there actually is very little sugar. The opulence you get is from the balance of rich and smooth flavors, freshened up by the flowery-citrusy notes. I really appreciate this juice. A complete change from your average banana-toffee-crackers recipe, it provides great comfort and unctuous pleasure with an adult kind of balance. After a long and tiring day, I find it smoothly comforting, yet refreshing and filled with oriental dreams. Practical Info : PG/VG : 74/18, and you won't believe how smooth that can be. No sugars, diacetyl or other horrible stuff. No alcohol. 100% natural aromas, so your bottle won't keep for very long - a year at best - but I'll eat my hat if you keep it that long. Comes in 0, 6, 12 and 18 mg/ml Sales price : 10,40 Euros, that's roughly £8.15, for 15 ml. Comes in a (very beautiful) glass bottle. Website and orders : www.e-volutes.com/product.php?id_product=77They ship to the UK. They're usually very fast, under 48 hrs for France. They speak English, should you need to contact them. If you try their juices, I'd love to know what you think! I don't work for the manufacturers nor represent them in any way. I've come to meet them - they are a really nice couple, with a criminal record as cookbook writers, so they know their flavours - and I enjoy their creations, but that's it. Apologies for the clumsy English, folks.

Aha! I get it now, thanks for your explanations. I will indeed get good screws and - learned a new word here - washers. Ebay it is. Thank you both!

Thank you all so much for your inputs. Please bear with me, I'm an RBA newbie - Replacing the screws : OK but with what? Where do you find these screws, please? How do I tell a good screw from a bad one, is it the metal in which they come? - VapingBad : What do you mean by as in, to wash the atty with? Sorry I'm so dumb. osdset : Good tip, the Pyrex tank, thanks! And thanks all for letting me know it's cheaper on FT

Hi All, Anybody tried the Kraken clone on Focalecig, here: Kraken link ? Interested about your thoughts. It would be my 1st Kraken. I'd like one because I enjoy its peculiar restitution of tastes. But then again I only tried original models, not clones, and I can't afford an original. So, I'll take any and all advice. Many thanks!

I just bought the copper Nemesis. And I have a small issue, can anyone help please? On the confirmation screen, the one that's displayed after you go through PayPal, it says I just bought... a Taifun GT. I'm quite sure I haven't! Plus, my PayPal receipt states I did buy the copper nemmy. So, I tried checking "my orders" on the website. Except I can't remember my password Went to "forgot password" and it says the mail server is down, try again later. I've been trying for 2 solid days now... What would you suggest is the best course of action?

@purple1234 : Right then, I'll be reviewing a couple of them very soon. They're brilliant really. These guys release something like one juice every six months, so refined it definitely is. And unlike anything else I've vaped. Okay, no more teasing, I'll get on with it!

Its great to find tools to make like easier when you suffer from arthritis It can be a real pain in the butt! soft bottles for juice are a godsend also I know exactly what you mean, a1laserboy! For the juice, here is what saves my life : Not sure of the English name. In French it's a "pipette Pasteur". Classic ones will hold 3 ml. Medical-grade pipettes will last for a year or so. Just get rid of the dropper and you're set.

hijack Of course, the maths section will help a lot of people who are not mathematically impaired as I am... Thanks for the link! There is also this fantastic page, a microcoil calculator. link Granted, it's in French, but tech words are so similar it shouldn't be a problem. ("Largeur" is "width" or "gauge", that's the only difficulty I can see.) Enjoy!

Pressure, flow of water and a straw. Why, oh why didn't anybody explain it to me this way before? At last I've got a basic understanding of what I'm doing! (Maths, well, not so much, I'll come back to it when my mod hits the mailbox.) hijack, so many thanks.

Hi Friends, Sorry if this has been posted before. I may not be the only one who has difficulties grabbing stuff and holding them still, whether because of arthritis, carpal tunnel etc. So, making a microcoil with tweezers was painful even to look at. I bought this little tool from FastTech. For a whopping 3.5 Euros, should be £2.7 or thereabouts. I was so certain it would be junk. Couldn't have been more wrong. Here's the linkThe handle is actually excellent. Sturdy, heavy enough, doesn't slip, doesn't require too much pressure to stay shut. But what amazes me is the blades. They were originally designed to cut and peel wires, so I was expecting something super light. It's not. It's massive. This is a great tool to grab a coil, press it together and keep it pressed without damaging it. And considering the solid metal of the blades, I'll be vaping in me grave before I make enough microcoils to warp them. Added bonus : it works fine for removing the dropper off liquid bottles, when you want to pour liquid back into the bottle. As opposed to ruining your nails, or treating your sink... Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot, @purple1234! Glad you enjoyed it.
I've been wondering, are you, in the UK, familiar with the "E.Senses" French liquids? For me, they blow most of the competition out of the water. They've been around for a few years now, so I thought they were probably old news. Still, if not for them, I would still be smoking stinkies - and it's not because they're French, i wouldn't care if they came from Mars. Would you be interested?
Many thanks!

Hi beautycat, About your leakage issue : Like you I'm a big fan of these clearos. Love the flat tip. Never had a leakage issue, except when they are almost empty. But it probably looks like you hit a defective box of replacement coil heads. Now if you want to order more, I'd suggest this : ElecThinkerIt's the genuine article - at least it was for me - and you cannot beat the price. Free shipping. Took about 2 weeks to arrive in France. No problems with customs.

Clivia Good to know you're happy with it, thanks! Ordered what looks like the exact same on Fasttech and was kind of wondering whether it would suit my microcoil purposes. Glad to know that it'll work... whenever it gets here!
