On zeldamum's recommendation I ordered the American Retro Sweet collection from Amazon last night, although I will be passing on the Violet flavour to her as it is (tried it in her shop last week!). I like the Lemon Sherbet, and at under a tenner for 6 bottles, each 28.5ml, they are a winner! What special deal are you getting to get 6 bottles for under a tenner ???..... ....Or are they cheaper if you go into the shop ? Thanks hijack & Perpetua, I did think after posting that....why dont I just ask CCW ??.....Didnt expect a reply at 10pm !! The reply: It means that flavours containing oil are not safe to vape so just avoid the oil based flavours there are not many of the 300 that are oil based, the oil based ones (ones to avoid) are: Hot Toddy Lemon Lemon & Violet Shortbread Lemon Cheesecake Lemon Lime Lemon Meringue Pie Margherita Snowball St Clements Tutti Fruitti Im sure if I asked her to clarify she'd say exactly the same as you guys....I'd do the same if I was selling them....esp when you live in a world where people can sue tobacco companies for them getting lung cancer Ive just ordered the retro sweet mix, but like chykensa I'll be moving/swapping on the Violet one.....Parma Violets.... baggieboy999...you might want to email Alison & check on that Tutti Fruitti one mate.....its on the list of ones she told me to avoid!

From the CCW website.......* Under current EU legislation, as no long term testing has been completed for e-cigarettes it is not possible to state that any ingredient, flavouring or otherwise, is ‘safe’ to vape, our flavourings are of the highest food grade and contain no diacetyl. Flavourings containing oil should not be used for e-liquids.
Is that saying...."we're not suggesting any of our flavourings are safe to use for e-juice" ....or ....."ones containing oil are not safe to use" ??

Please don't tar all vendors with the same brush I didnt get that impression from the OP's post ?.....But youll get that with anything you buy, theres good & bad sellers in everything......I bought something from VIP vapes in manchester which broke after 2 weeks & he gave me a full refund with no hassle....Ive bought something from someone else (might be a vendor on here) which has developed faults after 1 week! & the email reply I got!.....well lets just say I wasnt impressed & wont be buying from them again.

Phew!....Well thats a relief.....Bit dubious about comming back to this thread.. ..Half expected to come back & find comments like..."wtf have you done?....looks like its been in an accident!" Atleast I know im on the right road now, so thanks for all the replies so far :-) Thanks for those ideas Phil & fred I might have a play with the cotton & wire rope on future builds to see how it goes, Im so tempted so strip it down & try something new but at the moment its working so well my sensible side is saying "leave it the feck alone for now"....lol Im glad I got the air hole bigger as I think its improved it, seemds like it was alot of effort for hardly any result before, Im also glad I got the air hole in the right place as none of the videos ive watched mentioned anything about the best place to have it. The coil is reading 1.1ohms with that ribbon wire fred....just chose that one because ive never used ribbon before & wanted to try it...Also Im sure I recalled others saying that more wire being in contact with the mesh makes it better ? I might give that chamber reducer a go if it improves vapour, I like doing stuff like that, might find something else to make it from though, not sure if I wanna mess around with a beer can though, I'll look like ive had afight with edward scissor hands! lol @grand Vapc...good old chinglish there fred VapingBad....no washer there mate...is it better to have one ? I did notice the brown, not sure if its corrosion or just old burnt fluid, I did take the screw out & shove some tissue down there & clean it all out, if it is corrosion thats not a problem, I could chuck it through my cleaner & then either silver or gold plate it (I make rings & guitar plectrums out of coins & silver/gold plate them) & like fred says it came with a new screw & few other bits ;-) Thanks for that tip about wrapping the loose end I'll try that next time I coil it....Nice job youve done there on yours, very neat & tidy, makes mine look like its been in a house fire!...I took the fill plug out as I found it helped with the wicking as it could have been causing a slight vacum in the tank, perhaps ive got the mesh wick a bit big & didnt leave enough of a gap ??

Swapped some bits with fred for this RSST rba (and a load of other bits he threw in, so I think I got the better deal...or perhaps the centre section on the m16 clone was gold & not brass & fred knew that!..lol) Anyways...Feel a tad guilty because fred was nice enough to coil it before he sent it to me & after trying it I had to re-coil it because the cotton wick wasnt drawing the juice up quick enough & I was getting dry hits, I think it was because the juice I make is usually high VG percentage. As its the first one Ive ever done Id like some opinions on it as im questioning my handy work (I like to be a bit of a perfectionist....or pain in the arse depending on how you see it) Im getting good flavour & no dry hits now, Im also finding it works better with alot more vapour if I put the air hole next to the coil (dunno if thats right) Used a piece of the mesh that fred gave me (dunno what grade it is but its super fine weave) 50mm x 35mm & found that to be the perfect size as I didnt need to cut it after :-) I managed to pulse it on an IPV2 with no problems & got the coil glowing evenly (watched Todds & Twisted420 videos) One of the things that concerns me is the space between the mesh & the positive post? Is that too far gap? Or not wide enough? Also the mesh, Ive got about a 1mm hole in the middle & some people say no hole & some say have it like a straw, is it better to have no hole or a bigger one ? Another thought that came into my head was....would there be any benefit if I put cotton wool in the middle of the mesh before I roll it? would that improve wicking even more ? On the plus side Im getting loads of vapour & great flavour but I had to drill the hole bigger as I found the draw a bit tight (might even drill it a bit bigger yet) Anyways....Opinions appreciated...

I couldnt agree more....only been here a couple of weeks & it feels like ive been here years, Im amazed about people always willing to help & most going the extra mile to help someone out. Im not a member on any other ecig forum & to be honest, after joining here I dont need to bother either...
