Well got eight flavours coming from UK flavours thanks for mentioning them rug what percentages have you found good to use I've got five normal concentrates and three triple strength coming. My first batch from my mixing kit is capable but weak on flavour which I started off at 10% capella flavours but have upped to 20% and still weak going to up them another 5% tomorrow see if that helps.

If your up to marrying pairs of battery's dual battery mods can give good battery life the sigelei 100w plus is a good option all the features you need and the safety features work as advertised quality is a lot better then it was even a year ago. If your not up for the hassle of marrying pairs and rotating them then the ipv2-s is a reasonable mod that should serve you well or if you can wait a couple of weeks the new sigelei 50w is released with problems that some had with first batch fixed and stability improved. After experience with clouper I can't recommend them the quality of their chips has been questionable too often and if a problem is too much hassle for them they walk away leaving the customer stranded not a good company to deal with. Whatever option you go with buy from a reputable UK vender that way if you do have a problem you've got some options which makes the higher price a little more justified.

Xs2 I'm guessing your a mech user? Try 100w on regulated device whole different animal and is not pleasant to do it often at all but I should have specified i was talking in relation to regulated devices so I do apologise for that. One of my friends is a mech fanatic he has over 150 of them and vapes coils down to .15 was his lowest but when I gave him the sigelei 100w to try he quit at 90w and said he wouldn't go higher on that device despite saying in the past his mechs had hit 120+w so there is a big difference between mech and regulated but I'm not an engineer or technical enough to know what it is but I've heard a few mech users agree regulated is different. I really hate to call for bans on anything as our levels of satisfaction are as individual as we are and a good range of options is normally something I'd be shouting from the rooftops. I oppose these devices more for the shoddy quality and the fact that increasingly often the safety features are not working as they should to protect people using them, all that taken into account if vaping was under no legislative threat I'd probably go with buyer beware but right now I don't feel like handing out crates of ammo for the people that oppose us vaping.

Vaping at 100w is not pleasant and certainly not something you'd do routinely so two and a half times that would be painful and something only an idiot would do. Most peoples happy zone is between 10-40w's with mainly cloud chasers going into higher watts Iknow a lot of mech users will say "iI vape at 60+ watts" but when you take voltage drop and battery losing charge into account they are below what they think sometimes by a high margin. I'd say 95% of vapers are doing it to no longer use tobacco and high watts are not needed for that I vape now at 25watts and that's perfect for me. I hate to say there should be limits on anything because I normally believe in freedom of choice but these silly high wattage mods are not needed and are not doing any real good.

At last a builders mod just have to be careful a brickie doesn't use it by mistake although that would be a new selling point for new builds nhbc gaurantee, double glazing and external vaping support.

This ridiculous wattage race the Chinese are creating is not going to end well for us they will be fine counting the cash but smy are one company that should be avoided they make shoddy gear with some of the worst power regulation which manages to get even worse with use. This sort of stupidity isn't needed for a good satisfying vape and offers nothing good for the average vaper it also offers nothing good for experts as the mod cannot be relied on to be accurate straight out of the box and degrades further with use as the internals are not very well protected from the heat this mod can generate at even mid range settings. In short don't touch with a barge pole and don't even contemplate buying unless your really into filling your dustbin.

Dan to be honest try something a little easier and safer for you at this point maybe a nautilus\mini with a cheap vamo or sigelei zmax this will be a perfectly good setup to keep you going whilst you look into things like battery safety and ohms law whilst getting you into rebuilding heads if you choose and having a charger and 18650's for when your ready to go further if you feel the need. Whilst the release of the Atlantis and kanger sub tank is good in some ways it's bad in as much as a lot of people are buying these without the underlying knowledge to be safe doing it. Please don't think I'm having a go or meaning to be patronising as that isn't the intent I like everyone else here want you to be safe whilst you progress and that's one of the best things about this forum I'm finding that rather then push people to do things faster the emphasis is on vaping safely its a nice change of pace.

Fasttech you gotta love it 90% rubbish but enough diamonds in the rough to empty any account and each day they just tempt you with more it's an insidious plot by the Chinese to drive us further into debt .

Yep there is no vv\vw on these they have fixed currant 4.2v I think but as the battery goes down so does the output whatever boost is in there is not very good. I would go with the istick if I were you plus the cf takes ages to charge and you can'tuse it while charging.

Kanger sub tank isn't as power hungry as the atlantis you can run it at lower wattage and still get a good vape when I was on my kanger heads i vaped 18mg but with the lemo I've dropped that to 15mg and its not as harsh as the first couple of tanks at 18 who'd have thought 3mg would be that big a difference. Try dropping your watts a bit and if still not good drop your nic a bit.

Cotton does make a difference with the vape and yes organic is better but if your not sure boil it for half an hour rinse repeat and then dry and your good to go that's how I prep my cotton although different people do things differently. Thing to remember when using cotton is it expands when wet so when you rewick you want to be able to pull the wick with only a little resistance back and forth within the coil. I know a lot of people are raving about sub ohming but you don't need that to get the satisfaction you want and there are other elements to it you need to be knowledgeable on in order to do it safely even with tanks like the Atlantis or kanger sub tank plus I get the feeling your like me and are vaping on a budget sub ohming will increase your liquid usage quite a bit. This forum in the short time I've been a member has shown me that it has people that can and will help you every step of whatever way you go but don't be rushed by anyone and only progress at a rate your comfortable and happy with

Smoked for just over thirty years 25-50 roll ups a day saw an article in 2009 about ecigs but didn't go any further at that time. Just over two years ago a friend died from lung cancer only couple of years older then me, motivated me to look for ways to quit saw an advert somewhere on the net for jacvapour went to their website ordered a kit for myself and the wife intending to use it till iI found a realistic way of quitting and never stopped vaping and never had tobacco again same for the wife. I liked for want of a better term the smoking experience but never liked the negative impact my smoking on had on others around me and vaping was a perfect fit.
