I feel sorry for Alex, this past couple of weeks have been very bad with the Smok mx80 and now this, Evkoo need to take themselves to one side or there going to kill the goodwill that Alex has built. I cancelled my Smok mx80 and ordered a Vaporflask as a spare, Alex was very helpful as Evkoo customer service couldn't work out what I wanted to do. Quite, but the Chinese have been dealing with us for some time so surely they must have some kind of a handle on how we think and react to misleading advertising? |

I found that GR at 8% per 100ml was about right for me, tried it at 5% and it just didn't hit the spot. Deffo needs steeping for 2 to 3 weeks though or it tastes like freshly cut wet grass.
It's the best tobacco flavour I've come across so far, and I've tried plenty of pre made ones.

Relying on tracking facilities from Chinese vendors is a total and utter waste of time IMO, heck even half of the postal tracking systems in the UK don't work properly.
Order and forget, it'll turn up eventually.

Wad cutters work the best for me but are expensive, the Draper ones are OK though.

Most premix tobacco flavours taste of nuts or caramel to me. 8% Golden Rollie in a DIY mix isn't too bad after steeping for about five years.

Some switches don't have a high amp rating, so if they are used in an unregulated mod that pulls more current on 'fire' than the switch can safely handle it will fail. The contacts will burn out.
This is why Mosfets are used in mods because they act as semiconductor switches, they handle the high current allowing virtually any low current switch to be used.

I read the article this morning and I can't say I'm surprised TBH. Adoption agencies seem to put a never ending series of obstacles in the way of ordinary decent people trying to do the right thing by children without a stable home life.
It's a wonder anyone opts for adopting kids considering all the BLX they have to endure.

little update found a good work around for the strange firing of the switch i used to race 1/10 scale rc cars and i had a spare spring from a shocker so i cut it down to fit in the switch and now it works every time with out the customary wiggle  Gerber or Leatherman? My money is on Gerber, had mine for years and it's a trusty friend. Oh, and the device looks pretty cool by the way! |

How do people start off doing reviews in the first place? An enthusiast sharing knowledge about?
Probably I'd say, then the manufacturers wake up and take notice because of the following on You tube and say" hey lets send him/her some kit for free because it's cheap an effective advertising".
It's not too much of a stretch to imagine that the mat inside the front door is heaving every Monday morning with stuff to try out, it's also not too much of a stretch to consider that some reviewers spend so much time on vaping gear that a day job isn't feasible anymore and they end up doing reviews for a living.
Let's face it, it would be a dream job for most of us on here.

I'm not really a cat person but.................This little fellow found himself homeless in 2013  After a good feed, and some TLC from yours truly.  He's still with me, the swine. |

I only vape tobacco flavour juice, and after trying loads of types from Poundshop to premium and I've come to the conclusion that my home made stuff using Golden Rollie flavouring is as good as, if not better, than most I've tried.
As VapingBad points out, juice is cheap to make. Mine works out at around £0.48p per ml (18mg strength) after factoring in postage costs.
The other major advantage is having a bulk amount of juice to hand, there is nothing more frustrating than ordering a new supply of juice at the last minute (because you forgot to do it earlier) and have it arrive later than anticipated. I've fallen off the wagon three times in the last nine months because of this so I now make sure I have plenty to hand.
One of the online juice outlets have been knocking out some of their bold and intense flavours for 49p per 10ml bottle this month (usual price £2.99) so I'll leave the panel to make their minds up about profit margins.
