I ordered one it will arrive next week hopefully Ps: why I can not post pics using my phone? Maybe snow or Perpetua can help with this, pancser. I find that pictures won't work when I use the Microsoft Edge browser (though finding anything that does work on ME is a problem for me!)

the clone was good, worked great. can only imagine the original to be as good if not better. The only thing I didnt like was the paw print battery cap that needed the key thing to get out. This made the clone a no-no for me - may sound over cautious but I like to be able to get a battery out quick wherever and whenever, escpecially on mechs!

20ml Dr.Jekyll - Digby's - this is a clone absinthe and peppermint mix - never tried the original 20ml Roots - one of my own, a sassafras base with aniseed and liquorice 30ml Hugo Cocktail - another own mix - elderflower, champagne and mint 20ml Elderflower Presse - am still working on this one 20ml Dark Fey - A new liquorice and absinthe mix 30ml Gins Addiction - another one I'm working on, but getting close to something nice Apple Cider - one I've been making for awhile but had to find a replacement for L&T Cider to go with the FA Apple Fuji and WF Apple Cider - I'm hoping the CCW Cider in this may be the one.

Thank you all! My main birthday prezzie (from my better half) is a genuine Kayfun V5, which is still on its way from Svoe Mesto - am looking forward to getting that!

doveman - FT are a bit prone to getting this (and some other things!) mixed up in their descriptions. The Pico is regulated by a microchip that sits between the fire button and the battery, controlling battery protections, maximum wattage, and an off/on light. Unlike fully regulated mods, the chip does not allow for manual adjustment of the wattage, voltage or temperature. Mechanical refers to something that has no chip between the fire button and battery - hence the name! Took me ages to work all this out... at first it was like trying to understand a foreign language. Thanks beedee , I'm sure the advice I've received here will enable me to see when FT is talking nonsense soon enough My biggest irritation with FT is they are sometimes unclear whether RDAs have squonking pins with them or not - and photographs showing a pin when the list of contents does not - on the whole though, FT are my favourite supplier - they do often put these mistakes right when they are pointed out - you just have to be a bit wary of some items and read the discussions to get the low down on them.

See what you mean about the size, smokingaces , but the design looks a little like the ELeaf Invoke dual battery which also has very thin top and bottom plates. The squonk bottle in the middle will make it wider, but if the chip housing and the case are light like the Invoke, it might be a goer for me. The boxer DNA 250c by Ginger vape is really light, I am not sure if the Ginger vape one comes with the 18650 adaptors like the sxk, with the sxk I like that you can run 20700 and 18650 Aha, did not twig it also takes 20700, so it is going to be a lot bigger than an invoke height wise - may get it anyway as a desktop - the looks are much better than the geekvape and kanger 2 battery jobs.

It's a great little mod decoy, and fun to mess around with the different bridges!

This looks nice, clivealive1 . Depends on which anise and which licorice, if one or both are pretty sweet it will balance out the bitterness of the Absinthe. As Perpetua suggested, fruits play well with the DV Absinthe - I love the Innawera Blackcurrant with it...what levels of both ? Sorry clivealive1, I missed your question at the end. Depends on mix, there is this one - in which I'm thinking of reducing the BC by .5 or so: Black Cat 3.00% Blackcurrant (Innawera) 2.50% Absinthe (DV) 2.00% Anise (Innawera) 2.00% Pineapple (Golden) (Capella) 0.50% Polar Blast (Flavour Creative) My favourite mix is this one: Death in The Afternoon 5.00% Champagne (Flavour Arts) 3.40% Absinthe (DV) 3.00% Absythe CW (Cupcake World) 0.35% Koolada 5% (Perfumers Apprentice) For some reason, though the champagne is not sweet by itself, it does sweeten the absinthe. I've made loads of variations on this with different absinthe flavours including DV by itself @ around 7%.

Allways nice to see someone joining the mixing crew vape2017For me, browsing the mixing threads here has been a great learning experience, and, as Perpetua said, ELR is a place with a massive amount of information and opinions on everything mixing and enjoy!

I just do all sorts of different things... my two favourites at the moment are flat SS wires and hollow SS wire, usually vaping at around 25-35 watt. My highest ohm coil at the moment is a 1.8ohm, 3mm kanthal (26awg, I think) in a spheriod clone at around 17w - and the lowest is a 2.5mm hollow stainless steel 20awg 0.18ohm in a gaslight atty on a Luna squonker. I also like Nichrome 80 for a relativeley low ohm per wrap, and had a period of only doing claptons, which I think give great flavour. For me, variety is the spice of life.... With vaping, there are so many variables - wire type, coil diameter, coil orientation, number of coils, number and spacing of wraps, wicking material, airflow, wattage - and all this before you even get to different attys and mods - that I don't even try to rate everything I do compartiveley, I either enjoy it, or change it.

The Pico squeeze is an unregulated mod. Unregulated mod is one where the power output is not adjustable but it still has electronics in which provide safety features.A mechanical mod is one where the power output is not adjustable and it has no electronic safety features. Are you sure 'cos FT list it as a mechanical mod? www.fasttech.com/products/5517604Hi doveman - FT are a bit prone to getting this (and some other things!) mixed up in their descriptions. The Pico is regulated by a microchip in terms of battery protections and asn off/on light, but the chip does not allow for manual adjustment of the wattage, voltage or temperature. doveman - FT are a bit prone to getting this (and some other things!) mixed up in their descriptions.
