Liquid flavour is really too subjective to give totally accurate advice you could give ten people exactly the same liquid and get ten different views on it that's why questions on liquid are answered by the most helpful people because none of us are biologically or genetically identical and neither is our taste. Best you can do is narrow down the types of flavours you think you'll like and then try a range of them from different suppliers as peach from one is not the same as peach from another I know this is not very helpful but it is true. As I've said before success with vaping is often contingent on getting the right flavours at the right strength in the shortest time.
As for suppliers on the cheaper end joose juice, liquid one pound, misteliquid and bargain vapour other good ones capella, decadent vapours and so on read as much as you can trying to further narrow it down.

You might need to make a few mixes before you get one that just makes it all worth while for me rhubarb and custard but got about five early mixes that are not so great vapable but nothing special. Patients is a must have but if you persevere you will reap the rewards better flavour, lower cost and best of all zero chance of running out .

I too prefer the Brit reviewers less faffing about though I get envious at Scotts vaperings could never do them when I smoked either todds face usually tells me if something is good or bad so I like that, Scott is more scripted and quite consistent so haven't spotted his tell for when he's not overly keen on a device hes reviewing. Sorry if you thought I was being picky or having a dig mart just usually I am lousy with remembering people and wasn't sure if you were the same won't be long before your correcting me probably on a regular basis as my memory has more in common with a sieve .

Any questions anyone has on the 50 ask away I'll help if I can . Initial impressions after nearly a week of use are very positive more positive then I was expecting as I only bought it for a while when my sig50 was away for repair\replacement. Being totally honest your not going to beat it for the price and performance is as good as many more expensive mods the problems from the 20 mainly 510 threading and accurate power output have been fixed and above 3.5ish volts its a flatline DC output below it switches to pwm but still a very smooth vape. I'm a mega vaper can drain the little sod in less then a day but it lasts about as long as my sig50 with three Samsung 25r's so not bad at all. In terms of finish it isn't the highest quality but come on were talking about a £40 50w mod your not going to get everything included at that price but on mine the finish is uniform no dark or light spots on the main body though if your heavy handed screwing down your tanks it can score the chrome top plate not a big thing as you cannot see it when a tank is on. Charge time ATM for me is just over four hours so also not bad I've used worse mods that cost more and for the price you can't really go wrong. If I had to choose between the istick or my sig I would pick the istick display is a little better outside easier to read and the ability to lock power settings is a definate plus now no matter how heavy handed once locked I can hit up\down buttons without altering anything if I dont keep checking the sig over the space of a few hours I can hit up and down enough to sometimes add or take away a watt. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is vape quality wise this is near as damn it identical to my more expensive sig50 that I didn't expect it is comfortable to hold and vape with the large battery for me hasn't made the mod too heavy its a very good simple little all rounder that does what it says on the tin. Any other info needed ask away.

I clear 16's are ideal if the person is familiar with their quirks if you want a less hassle clearo then the nautilus is a good choice or a subtank mini with 1.2ohm coils and give your friend the aaec address so he can get any help he needs when he needs take some of the weight from you and we have insomniacs .

Sadly all those other chemicals in tobacco cigarettes seem to contribute to creating the taste so impossible to do with eliquid ry4 of various types seems very popular but while there may be exceptions generally you have to pay for reasonable quality joose juice is one of the better cheaper liquid sellers have a try of some sample sizes.

Always something new and better coming along but doesn't mean what went before isn't good the lemo is still a fantastic tank and also as a Heavy cackhanded git I can attest to it being easy to build on . Love my subtank too only use the rba section as the heads didn't last me long but with 50\50 red Astaire its chucking out the flavour and vapour all on a 1.8ohm coil likely I'll be getting a mini at some point but not bothered if I don't between the two lemos and the subtank I'm a happy little vaper.

I didn't say all eBay was bad but that an increasing number are and as I also said the reputable guys have other ways to order from them torchy encourages it by highlighting the discount you get not using eBay. I love eBay for a lot of stuff but right now in relation to vaping gear it's risky for a lot of people who have tight budgets and see the supposedly same product from two different people but one is a few\couple of quid cheaper they get suckered in by gits. Also eBay itself seems to be having problems in relation to how it handles vaping products with three different policy's in three different areas (UK, USA and China) and bad sellers are falling through the cracks. I'm anal about safety more so in regard to new user's so I weigh my comments in forums with that in mind experienced vapers don't need my advice or caution they have long since sorted out their preferred suppliers and by and large know what to look for.
Recently I started helping someone with basics and they have taken that help and proceeded to rush headlong into high wattage sub ohming without doing any of the research I said about battery safety and ohms law despite saying they have. I know they haven't because of forum posts they are putting up asking about stuff they would know if they had done it and it has got me worried. I like this forum because by and large the emphasis is on safe vaping and its a good group of people that don't just answer any question but consider the user first. Other forums are not doing that I see people telling people just getting into vaping to buy mechs and drippers and gushing about how great and easy sub ohming is usually they are the same people that jump down the throat of anyone that talks of having a close call with a mech.
I may be overly cautious and play it too safe but I prefer that and don't want or mean to upset or offend anyone.

Todd is the Scottish guy in the shed do you mean Scott Bonner he's from the smoke yeah I watch those two as well and I like pbursado for the real tech low down and while not everyone's cup of tea I enjoy twisted420 as well he is a little more light hearted and I feel he enjoys doing it not just a chore for him. Rip has some fantastic building vids but his normal style does my head in and I can't watch him for more then a few seconds way to in the face and I do sometimes think he's less then sincere all the time. Reviewers have to be realists every company releases a lemon now and then and you cannot be completely honest about all the shortcomings as you'll never get another product for review from them or from any shop that is an official reseller. Good reviewers get the message across when something isn't good without trashing it and that's what i mean with the insincere part about rip it is subtle but you can tell when he genuinely feels something is good and when he doesn't. I still think a lot of this is about knocking someone down whose pulled themself up and perhaps an unhappy person taking pot shots for not getting what they want.

A far better article but we need more of them in prominent placement to start turning the debate our way.

Avoid eBay for vaping devices and battery's although there are some good reputable people on there, there are far too many conmen and resellers which make it to much of a gamble to take on things as important as devices and battery's. Most reputable people will have their own website to order goods through anyway so play safe and be safe sorry if this upsets anyone but in the last six months I'm dealing weekly with people buying off eBay and getting poor sometimes dangerous quality and once the money has changed hands no more communication people deserve more and when it happens to newcomers it can be enough to make them quit vaping as too much trouble.

I've never subscribed to rip trippers I'm a simple vaper long as iI got good flavour I'm done lol but I have neither seen nor heard anything about him taking money or anything for other then the app. I do now he spent a lot of his own money to establish himself as a reviewer and is now profiting from it as everyone of us would in his position he is not that stupid to get caught doing reviews for money it would end his brand in short order. I still think there is a lot more here then we know and we'll likely never have the full story, reviewing is a labour of love mostly done by people with a genuine interest in the community wanting to get good info out there although there are some in it for wwhat they can get thankfully despite what they think their motives ooze in their reviews and are easily seen for what they are .
