As a vaper of 6-12mg juice, who has never seen a B&M vape shop and has bought most of my kit from the far east suppliers what real impact is the TPD going to have on me?? B*gger all afaik..
ok some time in 2017 I may need to stock up on nic base again. By which time i will expect non EU nic base suppliers to be thoroughly vetted through the common wisdom shared through sites such as this.
In fact the only folk who will really suffer are newbie vapers starting off from their own backs, (but didnt we all start with ego batteries and ce4 type clearomisers?? or equally bad cigalikes ) and EU based businesses that can no longer sell the stock we want to buy..
with any luck the TPD will be seen as the 'own goal' it is and simply ignored. what will be a real tragedy is if any resources are diverted (wasted) into enforcing any asperct of the TPD but that i hope is a highly unlikely event (keepin me fingers, toes and all else crossed on that front)

my evic mini 60w (75w after an easy update) is a great little mod that looks good and feels comfortable in the hand so i would be happy to recommend one of these to you. @ circa £25 its not going to break the bank either, and will let you buy a couple of nice batteries to go with it too DNA40 mods are appearing in the classies in here fairly frequently too, probably from folk looking to move to the newer dna200 mods.. for circa £75 you could invest in a SMY dna200 mod from FT I got a hotcig dna200 (dx200) from GB for £74 recently too, tho it is let down by its battery, but @£74 i can live with that ... However after investing in dna200 myself i find myself reaching for the evic mini as often as not .. so its a winner in my books..

cheap to buy or to 'run'? the tank atty's that you can coil and wick yourself are the cheapest to run, those which you buy off the shelf coil heads for can be more expensive to run, with costs upto 4-£5 per replacement coil (TFV4 coils..) Buying from china can save some cash, the TFV4 Ni200 coils i just bought from china were circa £2 each.. the above mentioned Smock TVF4 tank atty is only about £20 to buy and does come with a rebuildable deck so you can coil and wick it yourself at a nominal cost (once the skills/knack have been gained).. The kanger subtank and subtank mini tank attys are popular and the V2 rba is considered an easy deck to build on. the chinese clones are imho just as good as the originals too so can be sourced for less than £10 each If you go for tanks with replaceable coil heads DONT Throw dead ones away, they too can generally be rebuilt and member prr in here can rebuild most types and has been very generous with his time and skills rebuilding coil heads for folk, PM him when you have a handful to recoil sorry prr i do keep telling the new blood about you and your magnanimous nature and skills..

I suppose I should have reported my findings but I assumed it was my tank or mod to be honest. I used the blue Ni200s in a subtank nano and a mini, the first two coils that I used read 0.17 and 0.18 which all things considered could be within specs, I used them with an istick 40tc so there wasn't any VW option and flavour had to be chased up and down by adjusting the temperature. But in my opinion just as muted as regular OCC. So after finding out that they weren't 0.15 I used them anyway, generally without conviction on nights out because the battery and tank were cheap enough to carry around whilst on the lash. Basicly I burnt one PDQ, reset the other whilst warm, lost patience and put the RBA back in with kanthal, the third coil I tried read 0.22 as did the fourth and fifth. The threads were crap on he last three and for some reason they wouldn't fit in the nano without applying loads of torque to tighten up the tank. Biggest waste of £6 so far. Of the 0.2ohm red base coils which are not TC, four sit in the packet still and the one I tried would have been alright if it hadn't needed a fiery 60w to get it playing ball, no bells or whistles, flavour, clouds, then just what i would call typical OCC fade and gunk. And sadly not the two piece rebuildables. Not a good time had with these then:( My own order has been fulfilled and the coils have arrived, though after reading your experiences im less keen on trying them out .. will update in here when i get round to trying them.. as is no tanks need a new coil just yet..

thanks for the pics sydsut, i didnt bend the coil legs parallel with the coil bore like you did, but egged on by the example did manage to push mine down into the juice well and strum to achieve a good even glow, now all i need to do is wick it with if submerged in the juice well oh and fit a 2nd coil, position, and wick.. still seems a lil close for comfort, so no signs of heat damage on your drip tip bottom plate then ??
