Bump

I don't get this, according to the coil calculator I have, nine turns of triple twist @ .32 over a 14g needle (1.2mm) = around .3 ohms. I tried it myself with pretty much the same result, the coil metered at .3 ohms.
However nine turns of triple twist @ .23 over a 14g needle (1.2mm) = around .7 ohms, which is close enough to the op's result.

You're telling me! I placed an order last night for 2x 30ml 18mg BH son using Paypal, it got returned to your site with some null script thing and an empty basket so I tried again, same thing, so I tried once more. Success!
This morning I find that I've actually bought six bottles.

I'm not impressed.

SWMBO's itaste has developed fire button problems and the display is showing an open circuit=no atty, so it's time to have this baby apart and see what's going on.
As there isn't much on the net about taking one of these apart, I thought I'd just go for it and see what happened.

1st mistake, don't bother trying to get the five top rivets out, I centre punched mine ready for drilling before I realised that it's only the bottom single rivet that needs to be removed. The whole inner assembly slides out once the bottom rivet is free, the only thing holding the guts in at this point is the hot wire to the centre pin.

I've established the problem, it's a dodgy negative connection, a relatively easy fix.



This is the innards removed from the casing.



A photo of the board containing the firing button, it slides into a groove in the top cap. The problem is circled, that blob of solder is the negative connection. It relies on contact alone to make the circuit as the top cap can't be soldered to, it's not a great design TBH.




My fix was to solder a wire to the solder pad above the circle, (the real negative connection), and fold it up around the top cap, this traps it between the cap and the casing.


I made a new case from an old towel rail! (should have wiped the fingerprints off first!) The original got really scratched up from getting the rivets out, it was a bit of a mess in the end.




The finished item, it works properly now. I glued the top cap and bottom section with epoxy, I didn't fancy trying to rivet the thing back together.

My humble opinions.


Watermelon 18mg

Tested in a Kraken atty using a 1ohm coil on mesh.
Flavour is spot on, however way too sweet for my taste buds, I found it somewhat overpowering half way through the tank so that's as far as I got with this juice. It's a shame because I really wanted something as a change from tobacco flavours.
Atty needed washing out three times to get rid of the smell/taste, it's strong this one!

Virginia Tobacco 18mg

Tested in a Kraken atty using a 1ohm coil on mesh.
I could not pin down the top note smell of this one when I first opened the bottle, it reminded me of something from my childhood. The I realised what it was, the smell one gets when getting close to the popcorn stall at a fair.
I reckon this juice will improve with age as the popcorn effect is diminishing over time, taste wise it's not a bad tobacco flavour overall but once again, just a tad too sweet for me.

Thanks to OFIR LTD for the opportunity to try these juices.

Nothing this end.

Edit.
Juice arrived with the post this morning. 2 x 10 ml bottles plus gift.

An MP's package is pretty good by any standard, take into consideration the basic salary, expenses, perks, plenty of time away from Westminster, and a gold plated pension that most people could only dream of. All this for no particular skills whatsoever.
