Waiting on: Plume Veil Resistance Checker Stingray Hybrid Adapter 180ml's JJ Caramel Blend
How long does the Caramel Blend last you, if you were just to use it in tanks , because I know you drip as well ?
I ask because my 120ml orders last me about 5 weeks.
Andy
P.S Aawaiting some US flavours to come through, then steep and hopefully be an alternative ADV if not my primary ADV as well as some evening vapes too.

I have both of these and to my surprise ( someone else mentioned this on one of my threads, but I can't remember who it was ) the VTR seems to taste slightly better at the same volts or watts. The other person that mentioned this said theirs tasted slightly metallic , I didn't get that, but the taste is slightly better. As far as battery life is concerned , yes the MVP does last longer than an 18650 battery , but if you haven't got another mod to use, especially when your out and the MVP starts to lose battery power ( e.g when it goes to orange ) you need to charge it and the supplied lead for charging it via a PC is way to short for you to use it as a pass through , as the lead is only 500mm from end to end.With the VTR you can just swap the battery in a matter of a few seconds and your off again.
One of the things that made me decide to get the VTR was the design , as it has a side loading tank, which is darn near impossible to snap the tank off as opposed to tube mods and other general box mods , unless you go up way up in price for a mech mod like a Kato or a Helix.Unlike the Kato and the Helix you can turn the volts/watts up or down depending on how you feel , exactly like the MVP.

Sound is fine for me as well.
I'm very sorry, but my attention was drawn to your dog in the background , who is obviously having a scratch and I couldn't stop laughing , I had to watch the video twice as I missed most of it the first time.
Having said that , it was a good review , I know that I would have had to have done it several times to get it right , plus the room that has my PC in it looks as though someone has thrown a hand grenade in it , so not a very good back drop , lol

Hi Q as far as the coil is concerned I agree with the others , it's probably a duff.
Now as far as recoiling dual heads decoy gave me an answer in THIS thread , just look at reply No.6. Last night I did three single coil heads with a 2mm instead of a 1.5mm , BUT I have also found a tip that needs to be shared when doing this. When you have wrapped the coil and ready to put it in the coil head, take out the 2mm rod/drill bit and put in a 1.5 mm rod/drill bit as this makes the coil sit in the correct place.I have yet to do a dual coil as I don't have any dual head tanks.Using the larger inner diameter coils it makes it a lot easier to wick and the taste is exactly the same.I can only see it being even easier with the 3mm inner diameter.

seniorphil Alan told me on facebook that the coach and horses is free every Saturday in September, and that he hoped to get time tomorrow to put up a thread on it. Also, I am not sure if people realise that the last meet failed to make the minimum bar spend; which meant that Alan had to lose his £50 deposit.
Have they been in a private room ?
As long as I can get as much notice as possible I will TRY and come along even if it is for just a couple of hours.

Looks as though quite a few people from the UK have ordered from them if you look at the "About Us" tab and scroll down to the map , move it to the UK and watch the tags appear.

My wife ( and I for about 18 months ) worked for GSK for about 20 years, the last 10 she worked in manufacturing , packaging dept.
They ( and I ) packed the NicQuitin and they are disgusting and I did try them on an occasion, all they made me do is want to go for a smoke.
Having just looked at their website I'm NOT surprised things like this DON'T work , only 2 and 4 mg.Even if you smoked just 5 a day your suggested vape mg would be between 6 and 12mg.They were also supposed to be mint flavoured, there was certainly nothing minty about these.They were like eating water soluble chalk. I can imagine all the other NRT products to be the same horrible flavour too and they wonder why people have turned to vaping , surely in a company as large as theirs there must be people trying to quit somewhere in the world , yet I haven't seen anyone who said that these were the things that got them off the stinkies. I really didn't have any intention of stopping to smoke, it was a very pleasant accident and I certainly now after all the benefits of vaping can't see myself stopping vaping now either.One thing ( and I haven't heard anyone else mention this ) I have found with vaping is that is makes me calmer than I was when I was a smoker and when I vape I feel a lot more relaxed , has anyone else had this effect ?

My favourite vapes are sweet tobaccos and pipe tobacco.
My ADV is a caramel tobacco it's nice and sweet without getting to sickly sweet which the honey tobaccos can get very quickly.It's called "Caramel Blend" from a company called Joose Juice. I usually order the highest VG ratio they have , which is 30/70 PG/VG which is getting on the thicker side of juices but also makes the juice that little bit sweeter. ALL juices from Joose Juice NEED a minimum of a week to steep as they are made to order.The price of this ( and I hope I'm not getting it wrong ) £7.25 for 30ml and I really hope this is still the case , but when you buy 30ml you get another one free , I hope someone from Joose Juice can confirm this is still the case ( can someone tag someone from Juice Joose please ).So I order one strong and one medium of the Caramel blend at 30/70 PG/VG @ 18mg strength and it costs me in total for 120ml of Juice £18.60 delivered, which works out £1.55 delivered for 10ml , a flavour and price that can't be beaten.
If you liked the smell of pipe tobacco in the tin but not the taste of smoking it , as both that I'm going to mention taste as if the tobacco is in the tin. There are a couple of options I've found so far.The first one is from Mt Baker Vapor and is called Coumarin Pipe.This has PG/VG options and flavour strengths.For PG/VG you can go from full PG to full VG , strengths are in flavour shots, and I used 1 flavour shot and even after a week and a half of steeping and testing it's not developed enough so I think it needs a LOT more flavour shots ( up to 5 ) , but I've found that with all the Mt Baker Vapor juices.Also with the higher VG that they have ( I use 20/80 PG/VG ) you need to rewick every 3-4 days if you're vaping it a lot ( the same as the Caramle Blend above ) to make sure you don't get a burnt taste.When you refill you're tank ( if you use a tank ) make sure you take the drip tip off and blow out the juice that builds up there and wipe out the top of the tank as well.Just to let you know I had to order this from a company in France as their isn't anyone in the UK that carries Mt Baker Vapor. By far the best Pipe Tobacco Juice I've tried is Pop - i Pipe Tobacco and comes from Vapor-Z .The smell is glorious when you receive it and is ready to vape straight away and the taste is sublime.The only draw back is that it only comes in 70/30 PG/VG and that is only a draw back for me because I have a slight PG intolerance and gives me a sore throat , so I'm hoping there will be more options soon as I keep going back to it for the taste and vape it silly until my throat gets sore again , lol.Also Tan and the team at Vapor-Z will answer any question you have and normally get back to you within a few hours, even when I've sent them a PM at silly O'clock in the morning ( Tan , you need to get some more sleep , lol ) , their customer service is great , they're not the cheapest , but not the most expensive either , and I would rather pay a little extra knowing there is great back up there if I need it.
I hope this helps
Andy
P.S If you missed it at the top , be VERY careful with Honey tobacco's as the ones I've tried so far get sickly sweet to the point of being YUK in a short period of time.

With the work ethics and customer service that Vapor-Z offer , I'm not surprised that you have been contacted.I'm not going to ask who the company is for obvious reasons , but I do have a couple of questions in return. Is the company already with other vendors in the UK ? As you must ask yourself , what kind of market share you're going to get AND what kind of sales figures and return you're going to get from them.Especially as you would be competing with others and a lot of people just go for the cheapest price. Do you have to have a minimum order quantity for each time you order from them, can you just use their concentrates or do you have to buy their nic, PG , VG etc ? The same reasons as above. You must be in two minds about stocking them as you wouldn't have mentioned it here.I can understand that you would like to keep everything from the UK, but sometimes offers come up that you can't refuse.If you can start small and see what reaction you get and the sales will speak for themselves. Good luck with whatever you decide. Andy

I've only ordered from them a couple of times and got the orders the next day , certainly can't argue with that. I've always considered the telephone the first line of communication that I would use if there was a problem and I'm VERY reluctant to use a company, especially a UK one that doesn't have some kind of telephone number I can contact them on even before a first order.
People have suggested other vendors that would be an alternative, now I don't want to sound as though I'm left with NO other choice , but as far as I've found , Myepack are the only UK vendor that has the Mini Protank 2 airflow controller V2 an alternative would be nice if they decide to either not stock that line anymore or they are out of stock I also think that they maybe the only vendor to stock the Protank 2 air controller V2 as well.The price for tanks I've mentioned above are superb and I think both airflow controllers are a little expensive, but I haven't got anywhere else to compare them to.

I would be up for that, obviously depending on time and day.

Dont care how good a battery holder is it aint worth £200 + to me, its not a matter of can I afford it or not its percieved value. All that aside it does look like a very well made device! At that money its aboot the price of 7 MVP 2's . . . . . . . . . . . . . so for that reason . . . . . . . . . . . . I'm out ! OR 5 VTR's !!!

I suspect this is going to be in the region of £250+ , especially as the current standard 2.5 STARTS at £175.
One thing that I really DO like is the removable 510 connection , I can't really see Provari changing every atty manufacturers connection with their new one ( P3 connection ) , even though Provari claim their connection can handle 10 x the torque of a 510 connection.Having said that I think we all agree we need a replacement for the 510.
Andy
No the inner is still bog standard 510 but if you do damage the 510 threads you just buy a new insert, probably for about £30
The thread that the inner 510 connection is connected to is what Provari are calling the P3 connection , which Phil said would be good for a hybrid , and a big step up in thread capability if their torque is believed and there is no reason why it shouldn't. To many devices suffer from thread failure and a change from the 510 to something stronger can only be a good thing.

Depending on price ? I most certainly would buy one. I shall await blakey review. I'll be surprised if the initial runs of this would be less than £200 You're getting all battery tubes plus some greatly upgraded electronics and all this inside bomb proof build quality Pro 3 will be a good couple of months away yet, next purchase will be another squape reloaded when it goes on sale tomorrow but I only have 3G and a phone to try and beat the hoards and get one- don't fancy my chances too much
