Hello, welcome to all those who joined after my hiatus, and missed you alll to those who were here before.  I've not been on the forum for a while, but that is changing as of now.

My past.  My better half and myself were smokers for about 15 years each.  The advice and encouragement of people on this forum helped us quit the stinkies.  After about 5 years I came to the conclusion that a kraken with a decent mod (preferably a nemesis) was the ultimate setup.  I just spent too much on other mods and tanks and nothing matched this setup.  

My present.   My wife and myself are in good health, but my brother who was a smoker has recently suffered a heart attack.  I want to spread the knowledge of vaping I have to others who can benefit from it. 


My future.    I'm settled on my kit, on zero nic menthol vg juice.  But would like to help others off the nic addiction.


What can I help with?  Well, mixing, tanks, mods, mechs, drippers, nic reduction, batteries, building, support and anything else you can think of that I can answer.   This forum has given me a lot and I want  to give back.  Feel free to ask anything you want. 


As a final bit of background, I'm a 6 year vaper with a degree in electronic engineering who wants to offar any help I can.   

Been to Boots, superdrug, poundland, savers, semi chem, home bargains etc and cant find menthol crystals anywhere... any idea wher to buy them on the high street? And as an aside, can they be dissolved in VG (or AG) reliably?

Helooo all you Edinbuggers. She who must be obeyed at all costs and myself apologise for our absence for the last while. We're in the process of trying to save up some cash to move form a fully furnished place to an unfurnished council rent in order to save on rent (to the tune of about £150 a month) and to let us furnish and decorate the way we want to. This has unfortunatly left us skintypoos, broke, pennyless and otherwise short of piccies of the Queen. We wil try to get to a meet this summer (July hopefully). Each meet costs use about £40 out of pocket before we set foot in the pub so we cant really afford it for a while, but we will try. So much bloody furniture and appliances we need to buy, plus the extra rent to cover our 2 month notice period where we'll be paying double rent. Pinky really needs a night out so I'll do what I can, even if I need to live on instant noodles for a few month. Miss you guys a lot and hope to see you all soon. Can't believe how out of touch we both are with current vaping developments. (yup, we both still love our krakens, mwahahahaha). Awrah best and see you al this summer we hope.


OOh, me noticed a new person taggeed, lesley.  Hope we can both meet you soon.  If you havent made it to a meet yet I can assure you that striker, taz, gill, macmagoo,verey and the rest are a great laugh.  It's definitly worth the trip.

Been using chefs vapour(flavours) for a long long time.  So sad to see they have discontinued two concentrates the Mrs and I enjoyed stand alone (pink lips and green lips) and one which is an integral part of our ADV, tigers blood.  All from their rebranded range. Does anyone know an alternate source for these concentrates?  The jungle juice is the one we really need a replacement source for.

You could try shellac then a wax finish. This gives you the choice of a white (clear) shellac or a darker shellac for a warmer finish. If you opt for an oil, steer clear of linseed oil. It takes too long to dry and you'll need at least 5 coats (2-3days drying per coat). I personally like teak oil as it doesnt give to much sheen. Tung oil looks great, but agani has the drying time issue and needs around 5 coats. It's also harder to apply properly. The budget option is to use mineral oil(baby oil is the same stuff with some fragrance added so it's dirt cheap). It'll provide a similar level of protection to your wood as the other oils mentioned.
