I did reply just now, but it seems to have disappeared into cyber space.......but it could just be me cocking things up.

Many thanks for the replies, tis much appreciated.

igual...PM'd you.

Oh, I have a set of those Torx heads in a screw driver kit, but they number from size 2 - 40.
No. 2 being the smallest, which is just a bit too big, whereas the No. 6 is big. 
I thought they were in mm sizes, but the No. 40 is certainly not 40mm...

I just don't understand all this modern techy stuff.....*sigh*...

Many thanks for your welcomes back to this land of advice...

Perpetua...thanks for the link, I have saved that site for further investigation, and on a brief check I see they have flavours that I like.
So along with the Island based small Firm, it looks as though I will be having some very happy vaping.

The suggestion of building my own coils etc. is something I should take up, since after the initial layout for a suitable 'tank' wire, organic cotton etc.....whatever is the best kit. it will be far cheaper than buying ready made coils.

Glad to be back as posters have provide good tips and links which will make me busy and not thinking about nipping up the shop for a small packet of baccy/ciggies...

I used to run at 18mg, but now I take whatever is in stock from zero (rarely) to about 5/11/18mg, but am trying to keep the 'mg' down since I am now running at higher wattages than I used to, which was about 8W or so.

Is this right, the higher the 'mg' and wattage, the higher the throat hit/nicotine intake ?
Or am I just muddled in my thinking..?

A bit late, but hey ho.....I use the Nitecore two bay mains charger (from Myepack) and quite often leave a battery (or two) charging over night, the same as I might leave my Nexus 7 2014 charging.
So far I have not been blown up, but it is mainly because I have bunged in a battery to charge up and forgotten about it until the next day.

I do try to switch them off at night, and restart the next day, but then sometimes I don't but I don't lose any sleep about it........I like to live on the wild side of life in my remaining years....

My rather long but pathetic story......sit back and keep vaping...

 After giving up the weed for about 7 months (from Dec. 23rd 2014), No. 1 son came to stay with us for about 3 months last year (sorting out marital problems) and left his packet of baccy in the kitchen, and yes, I fell into temptation and rolled one up.
Sad to say I started smoking again, not as much as before, but I was smoking roll-ups and ready mades again, but also using e-cigs with my MVP2 and VTRv2.

Sadly my MVP2 has gone u/s as the 510 pin has come away from the wire inside the device (too much gently pulling up to make a connection over the year or so of use) and I am rather miffed about that.
I may try to repair it at some stage since the battery is still full of life, but atm I just keep it in the car as a battery pack for my spare mobile phone, which I use to phone up the wife when at a Supermarket to ask her ''why am I here and what was I supposed to buy ?''

However, I kicked myself in the botty this year, and last Monday I decided I needed to get the interest back into vaping full time again.
After some searching about, watching reviews etc. I bought the Black Eleaf iStick 30W dinky jobbie, unfortunately not from Myepack as they were mostly out of stock, but from Pure Mist (for £31.99 free delivery) both of which arrived the very next day. I did buy the gel sleeve for it from Myepack though.

Most impressive delivery by both.

This thing is a lot smaller that it appeared in the review videos...

However, I rather lurve it, coupled with my Nautilus (with new BVC coil) and a tank full of Banoffee Pie @ 5mg nicotine, running (both) at about 12W- 20W....I like to 'play'.
Plus another Nautilus tank full of Vanilla Toffee on the VTR v2.

Smashing little device, so I have now regained the interest in vaping again, and blow me, it is a darned sight harder to give up smoking ciggies the second time around.....*sigh*, but I think I have done it.

So I have given a fair bit of my State Pension money to some online Firms for more spare coils ,Aspire ET-S (BVC new coils), iClear 30S, Aspire Nautilus (new BVC coils) along with a pack of Ten BDC coils from FT (ordered before I knew about the BVC ones...duh) for the Nautilus, plus a selection of new juices to try out, one of which is the Banoffee Pie flavour.

I now have my eye on the Innokin MVP3, iStick 50W, Mini Nautilus tank (and a couple of others), but I would rather lash out the money (in stages) than spend it on tobacco products.

So I have now returned to this Forum (sorry about that) so that I can pick brains for advice and stuff...

Ok, congrat's to those that managed to stay awake long enough to get to this bit, and I understand those that packed it in after 3 seconds to read another more interesting thread...

I did kind of waver a little bit. No. 1 son is staying for a few days and he smokes rollies. So, during the day I was waiting for the kettle to boil and saw the packet of baccy and papers left on the work top.
'Hmmmmm....perhaps I could try just a bit of one ?'
So I rolled one, went outside and lit up.
It was a bit yukky, but I persisted, and the memories of smoking (or not smoking since December) came back, finished it, stubbed it out and chucked it in the bin.

My conclusion was that perhaps I need to either upgrade the nicotine level from my usual 0 - 6mg and go to a 12mg/18mg, and perhaps try a tobacco flavour, which I have not tried yet, mainly because I thought why switch from a tobacco product to a fake tobacco product.

My favourite flavours currently are, cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, banana split, strawberry milk, sweet red apple and a couple of others that I won't bore you with.

So, although I sort of enjoyed it, it wasn't enough to make me nip up to the shops and buy a packet of ciggies.

That could be the same as my first charger which came with my basic kit.

It would appear to show it charged after a short time, but the battery would go flat after a bit of use.

I took it back to my local shop who tested it with other batteries, declared it deceased, and gave me a new one, which has happily been charging batteries now for some weeks.

I mean, these charger cables must be knocked out in the millions, so I would have thought that there are bound to be a few duff ones in the process.
