I practically gave them away lolli, £25 the pair with batteries to a friend of a friend.
My Mk2 is so much smoother and looser (the button). Its very nice to use, the total opposite of my SD1's.
On the SD1, it really was hard work. Had to press real hard, and even then it would not always connect. Sucking golf balls woulda been easier

I've got a headache just reading this thread...erm good luck Kath

I used to be paranoid about getting carts mixed up with different flavours, but really, most flavours blend into one another eventually without too many dramas.

Hello lolli

Using the same atty/liquid between the Tornado and the Mako, you can notice the difference.

The vapor feels smoother and more full when it's in ya gob. Not sure how or why this is. I'm no technophobe on these things, but its just a more 'luxurious' vape to me.

That's not to say the Tornado's crap, far from it. I've just bought a Riva set to take on my hols with me tornado's - spares aplenty. I know they'll not let me down, very reliable, and with LR atties for them, I'll be more than happy with them.

Just don't want to take the Mako outa the house, its too precious

I can't remember if the threads on the atty were dirty when I got it, i don't think so mind.
I use a bit of tissue to clean inside there, as I do drip a lot these days as opposed to using carts, and the juice does get in there, but it's easily removed.
Glad you're enjoying it, It's my favourite. Using the same atomiser on each of my e-cigs, the Mako always comes out best, it's a nice full on vape. Gob fulls of vapor
I tend not to use LR atomisers on mine, as it doesn't need it, a normal atty on the Mako is enough power.

Kath,
Your little story of yesterday rang so many bells for me , and
I suspect many others, we all get or have had days like that, it's not nice, but, really, those days do become less frequent as you gain more experience in solving the various issues from time to time.

You mention the 'awful burnt taste'. If it's not the atty being too dry, then it could be a bit of loose fibre from your cart filler attaching itself to the atty, and its burning as you activate your E-cig.
To get rid of it, you need to first blow the atty out completely. Then rinse under hot water and leave to dry - about 30 minutes.
Then, attach the atty back onto the riva without cart. Then, blow into the atty while activating Riva (careful you don't burn lips, can get hot). Do this for 10 seconds. Get your breath back, tehn repeat process again - (blow into atty/press button 10 secs). Then one more time, so 3 x 10 second bursts in total while blowing into the atty.

Then, drip 3 drops of E-liquid onto the atty, pop on your cart and vape.

I've done this on many occasions, and it's solved that nasty burnt taste.
