Well the better half has been on a fitness drive of late and has taken to drinking protein shakes after a workout at the gym. We mistakenly bought 1kg of unflavored protein powder. We also had many concentrates we don't vape as they don't taste great. It turns out they can taste bloody nice when drank (or eaten i guess).
Lesson learned...even if we don't like to vape a flavoring, try to use it in a dish or drink, they an taste totally different and give you a use for a bottle that would waste away in the shadows of our cupboards.

Many humble apologies my dear friends,but she who puffs the pink and myself will be AWOL this month because our beloved granny (my mother) had prearranged plans this weekend. We're so sorry we can't be there wit you, hope you all understand. I'll do all can to keep Nov and Dec dates open for coming to meetups. So sorry we;ll miss catching up with you all. We'll be there next time, even if have to deliver pinkypuff to the pub and take the boys away to the zo0 or wherever.
Again, many apologies from us both.

Nic base prices have been a little volatile over the last few months. Check Uk flavours and darkstar out, both offer good value. I must admit, I was disappointed by the first bottle of VG nic I got from darkstar. Was very dark and took a long time to arrrive, but every bottle since has been clear as a bell and delivered in the expected timeframe (1-3 days)

To be honest a kraken and nemesis are the perfect shirt pocket combo, my daily go to for work. A shirt pocket keeps the kraken upright enough to never leak and you'll never get a better balance of vapour vs flavour.
As for isticks, I've never bought into the originals or clones, but the fasttech smowell 50W has been a faultless workhorse for the Mrs, so much so that her subbox hasn't sen the light of day in months. (many people complain about the smowell, but after 6-7 months it's still faultless for us)

A lot depends on the concentrate used and nic stregth. At the 3mg we vape at these days, concentrate is the main cost
Some juices cost us 21p/10ml (some of the stronger chefs vapour rebranded range concentrates) and can go up to £1 a bottle for some ranges such as t juice. On average about 50-60p would seem right.

this is my go to for most wicking applications. It an be sourced cheaper, but I just add a pack or two when buying wire so I'm not paying extra for p&p or waiting on extra deliveries. Quite honestly, I'd highly recommend it over silica, and rayon for both wicking speed and flavour.

hijackinr18650 30q data sheethope this helps you. Not the most informative data sheet around, but the best I could find. As you thought it's 60% capacity at the 250 cycle mark at max discharge (15A in this case) so they would be fine for moderate current draws. I'd still prefer the 25R for (in dual cell mods) for 100W output. The extra headroom makes a ton of difference. As for the next step up for the 25R, I can't agree. They are intended for a different application. Lower current draw in exhange for higher energy density. They would be great on mechs down to about 0.4 ohms, and would be living too close to the edge after this, whereas the 25R can hit 0.25 ohms with 25% headroom. The same thing applies on regulated devices. The 30Q would be fine for moderate wattages (35-40 per cell) but the 25Rs would be preferable above that. Would be really interesting to see some in depth independent tests though. No doubt they are good cells, great for those who vape at lower current/power drains, but not as safe at the higher limits preferred by others. As for the OP, at 100W, I'd prefer the headroom provided by the 25Rs higher max current drain rating.

As title says 3x of these for a quid in poundland. Kodak branded. Very solid construction. Even if you don't vape using 14500s they are still useful for the AA/AA cells you probably do use for cameras, remotes etc. 3x in a pack, each holds 4 cells. A steal at the price.

I haven't used these before but samsung rate then as 15A continuous cells. I's stick to the 25Rs for 100W, and even then only on dual cell mods.

Ordered some e liquid samples from jac vapour a little while ago. Unfortunatly, the liquids were not really to our taste. Not bad, just not for us. On the up side, the tin is pretty cool for storing drippers (or tanks minus the drip tips)   Not too shabby for something that would have sat in a drawer otherwise. |

Looking for some more info on classikool, a site used by many for pg/vg. Can't argue with prices or quality of our purchases.
But I have one gripe. Why does delivery take so long? They claim to have a base in the UK but we have never received an order in less than 10 working days.
Have we just been unlucky or do they use drop shipping or over zealous JIT stock control? I do like the company and their products, but wish they were more honest about shipping times.
