I know that I still get wicking issues , so I hop someone else comes along with some other advice , because I would like to get better flavour and vapour production.

Sometimes it also depends on the juice itself as far as vapour production is concerned to , my ADV doesn't give great vapour production where as others do.

I've also just discovered that drip tip internal bore size makes a difference too , but I have no clue why ?

Hi Roscopecotrain , I've found that when your putting the head back into the base that it needs to be screwed in quite tight for it to get a proper connection.Also , no matter what wire I use I've found ( on my VTR ) that the coil takes a couple of seconds to heat up properly.

Other questions to ask you are the obvious really , but here goes.What coil diameter are you making the coils , what wicking material , are you priming the coil , what VG percentage are you using , etc etc etc.Please forgive me , as asking these questions I feel as though I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs.

I make microcoils on my Nano heads.I wrap 0.3mm ( maximum , as bigger wire seems to be difficult to manoeuvre in the head itself and clip to length ) 4.5 times round a 3mm rod on my Easy Coil.I make sure the coils are close together , but a little bit loose on the rod.Then feed the coil into the head and it gets held in place a the famous blue screwdriver , fold over the legs and put the rubber grommet and metal stopper in place.I don't clip yet , I remove the screwdriver and move the coil so that it's straight and in the middle and make sure that the coil doesn't move out of place while clipping the legs off.Once clipped , I either use my fingernail or a small flat bladed screwdriver to move the clipped legs just under the rubber and metal stopper to make sure I don't get any shorts.Recheck the coil for any movement.Now , I wick with cotton wool , I've tried Muji and other stuff , but I have now moved back to ordinary cheap as chips cotton wool again as I seem to get a lot better and fluffier tails.When doing the cotton , fluffy is good , but still tight in the coil itself.When I cut the ends , I cut with 1mm sticking out of the holes , then use the point of the scissors to fluff out the cut , the gently push the fluff almost level with the outside of the coil head , but still JUST sticking out.
Now I prime the coils , I first prime each of the side holes with several drops of juice , then do the same inside and if necessary repeat on the outside until the wick doesn't take in any more juice.Then screw the head , nice and tight into the base , put it in the rest of the atty and leave for a couple of mins.Then you should be good to vape.

As I said earlier and I don't know if it's the atty or my mod , but when I press the button it's over a second before I get that reassuring hiss of the atty working nicely.Having said that , I do vape at lower watts , normally between 8-10 watts with the lowest airflow too and I also mouth to lung inhale.


I'm very sorry if I've offended anyone here , especially Roscopecotrain .

I'm in two minds to TRY and make a small vid of this , as I have a face for radio and a voice for the deaf.I may start and see how it turns out.

Just to add , if you're looking at the vanillavapes site ( highly recommended ) , and you're in the market for a Juice , other than the ones that Greg has reviewed very well , then also have a look at the Afternoon Tea range and especially the "All Scone" , which is my absolute favourite that Vanilla Vapes do IMHO.Iwill be trying a couple of other flavours very soon.
Even though the juice is a 50/50 PG/VG mix , it doesn't smell and more importantly , taste like a 50/50 mix.I don't get a sore throat like other juices that are a 50 VG mix and the vapour production is great.It's definitely an all day vape ,so, so moreish and nice and smooth.

Its very difficult to describe , it's very juicy and is dry at the same time , as I said before , it maybe just my taste buds doing this.

I have to also agree these juices aren't as thick as I thought they were going to be and to my surprise are very good in both my subtanks ( both Mini and Nano ) and my Kayfun V4 clone.

Greg I have tried the Juicy pear myself and think it's very good,just not quite excellent. My taste buds thinks it's a little on the "Dry" side. I Know that pears can be a little dry but I was hoping it would be a little more juicy.having said that the rest of the flavour is spot on , it has a very  natural flavour with the right sweetness , it also has a good strong flavour at low wattages. I Can't really comment on the throat hit at the moment as I'm the the process of lowering my nic , plus I vape mouth to lung.

I have also got their "Cinnamon Apple Pie" , which is my favourite,all the flavours are perfect and very well balanced with each other. My only criticism would be the flavour strength being a bit on the weak side. If it had the flavour strength of the "Juicy Pear" it would be perfect, but this maybe down to me vaping at low watts and mouth to lunging.

Q , I already have a 120 ssd in my old pc plus 2 HDD that hold 1 and 3tb respectively.So I was looking at getting a quick 256gb ssd for the OS , using the 120gb for Steam and other games and the other two HDD's for storage.

Having said that , I've not seen these Hybrid drives before , I like the idea of them.Only a  couple of things that concern me is speed compared with an SSD and the longevity with it having moving parts as it has a standard type of HDD.
