On one particular forum I used to frequent (gaming related), instead of stars under your name (which increased in number the more posts you made), we had little sheepies, with different versions of the sheep depending on how many posts you had (so a five sheepie member would go to one gold sheepie after a certain amount of posts). (For the record, I can't remember exactly how many posts, but I did get my first gold sheepie ) So, I was wondering, firstly, is it possible to change the stars (not that I have anything against stars mind you), and secondly, what could we change 'em to. I know we've got some decent arty types here, and if possible, it might be fun to have a change from the so called norm... So, a couple of suggestions... Firstly, drip tips. Different colours after you get past five stars (kinda like the belt colours in martial arts). Alternatively, how about different models of mod? Or pretty much anything else... bottles for suppliers, for example... Of course, it all falls apart if that little graphic can't be selectively altered... but I thought I'd ask all the same...

Still at Jamaica NY.. Funny thing; my Stone order from GotVapes seemed to stay in Jamaica for about a week... kept checking and didn't change... then all of a sudden I got home to find it posted through the door... Woulkdn't necessarily trust their tracking method is all I'm saying Plus, they still have to go through customs, even if there's no import tax on 'em...

Y'know, it's tempting to set up a list of non-vape friendly pubs, so we know which ones to avoid... Of course that does come with it's own set of negative connotations.
Having said that, I was told in a local Wetherspoons that the instruction to deny vaping in their pubs (use of E-cigarettes is closer to what was said) had come down from head office. So, chance of me going back to that pub? Limited, and only if I have no other option to meet mates...

When my LT "broke", it was exactly the same way. Contacted the supplier, shipped it back to 'em, got a replacement about 7 days later (might have been 5...) Know how it feels, but try whoever sold it to ya first

Agreed, different juices do definitely have completely different flavours depending out delivery method... Okay then, the report from the first hour. It's not actually that good a report... At various voltages on the LT, I had wildly different results. Gonna go back to that shortly. Have tried it on my little VV (the one that only does 3.2, 3.7 and 4.2) and had more success... or so I thought. One thing that did happen, I do have to mention... Be careful when unscrewing this tank from your device. If you overtighten the bottom cap, you run the risk of it leaking out of the bottom for some reason. However, if you tighten to the grip point and not beyond it, it won't leak. But, and this is a biggie, when I unscrewed the tank from my little VV, I accidentally actually unscrewed it from the bottom cap and not the battery. Lost about 3ml of my Whiskey Cream Having said that, it's easy to clean (just rinse under tap, dry carefully - blotting the wick - and dry burn for a second, then put back together again). After that little mishap, I switched to another old favorite, Peaches. So far, after a minor false start, it seems OK. So, so far the pluses are: Easy to fill. Easy to clean. Can see exactly how much juice is left. Fairly good build quality. Fits any 510 drip tip. The minus points (for me): Easy to accidentally disassemble when removing from a battery/mod Wicking can be a bit of a nightmare - even at lower voltages, I did get a lot of burnt taste going on. (Best fix is to tip it upside down for a few seconds and then right side it). Juice can condense and drip back into the area the tip fits in, leading to gurgling and in some cases juice in the mouth. The rubber cap at the top (inside) has to be in a certain position to stand a chance of wicking properly; this cap can shift position when you're screwing the top cap back in place. Best tips: Although it claims a 5ml capacity, I wouldn't put more than 3ml in it at the moment. I'm not 100% certain exactly what's causing the gurgling, but am theorising it's a couple of things - the wick dripping into the bowl under the coil when it's not in use, and condensation dripping back into the same place. If it starts to burn, tipping it upside down and then right side up a couple of times seems to help it wick again. Watch what you're doing when taking it off a battery... Now if anyone's got any advice they can offer, I'm all ears...

My Stone arrived today!!! Once I'd figured out how to fill it (top loader, if that's not obvious from the pictures), and got the wick properly primed, have got to say not bad at all. Tried at lower voltages on the LT first, (using Whiskey Cream as the juice...), currently testing at 4.0, and once you get past the heat of the vapour (bear in mind the coil is right at the top), not too bad. Does completely change the flavour compared to my ickle carto tank though... not quite the flavour I was expecting. Still, going to use it tonight and tomorrow and see how I fare (will of course post the results...) <edit> For some reason mixed up the word "Bad" with the word "Bed"... </edit>

Bearing in mind I have no sound on this pc so can't hear anything on the vids - is this a cartomiser tank rather than a clearmoiser tank - i.e. uses wadding/filler? Hoping the answer is clearomiser but suspect its cartomiser. In case you didn't sign up for notification when gotvapes had these back in stock, they've got 'em right now. Have just ordered myself one... How can you resist (Perpy too!) An absolute steal at £8 and they work really well [/quote] Still waiting for mine to turn up...

Hope you didn't mind Khromm . . . makes me feel useful, as it's one of the few technicals I can manage without lashing up. Naaah, I never mind. Used to being a guinea pig for various things
