Its possible that I prefer it stronger as I use a 70/30 VG/PG base mix and the flavours are VG as far as I'm aware so that would up the VG level of my finished product and its PG that carries the flavour as I understand it. I've been at 70P/30V up until last week. Now I'm on 60P/40V but will take a few weeks to detect anything. No good fiddling with more than 1 variable...at one time. See if the VG theory for flavour works on current conc levels. |

I do like strong flavours yes - I've always bought the Soft Mint at 20% stronger (which I assume is 30%) and I've mixed it previously at 30% and love it. I like the premixed Irish Cocoa & Monkey Brek but when I mixed my own last time I did some at 25% and some at 30% and its the 30% Monkey Brek I'm vaping at the moment and love so just went for 30% with the Irish Cocoa as I do find the flavour just a little milder than I like. Given that I do like them strong I decided sod it 30% for the new ones too. Interesting that you reported this snow...very interesting indeed. I've been mixing for about 6 months and I'm not impressed with the "as advertised" usage levels..circa 15% max for most concs. In fact I tried some mixes with the usual suspects of cheesecake, custard and so on. So those levels on recommended mixes would be lower than 15%. Result is not what I see many folk yell about and mostly too sweet? After steeping for a month etc...the single concs and especially fruits taste the same...sort of perfume bubblegum and the mixes are...lets say not much at all. I'll ramp up to your 25% - 30% I think. Of course it maybe due to my beer, cider and garden fruit addiction and not necessarily in that order. They taste good...not through an SS tank though! So far...concs for the money, not impressed at all. Its DarkStar, Capella, FA and all that stuff. |

From all accounts they let you pay then credit it back. They do need to warn people that they don't ship ELeaf to UK on the site. Their site is conflicting. It says at the lower end of the page: Please Note: 1. The atomizers and batteries showing in the pictures are not included in the package. 2. Eleaf's products can not be delivered to England and Korea.On the Shipping drop down: Shipping Cost: FREE SHIPPING to United+Kingdom Via Unregistered Air Mail Dumb stuff really! Good Pico Brushed Steel/Siver price though... 22 bucks |

That will depend on the shipper. A few Chinese vendors are restricted from shipping ELeaf to the UK, (GB, Heaven Gifts, AVE 40, to name a few), due to a tie up with Totally Wicked, so it will have to be the likes of FT, or a UK vendor. Interesting about eLeaf and GB. I just run the ordering of a pico to the point of paying by Paypal on GB. No warnings. Do GB cancel later? |

Fair enough, gift certificate is a good idea, might try that myself if I can work out how! Easy...order some stuff thats NOT in stock e.g on 7 days delay or something. I ordered a $25 odd coil winding kit which was not in stock. I did it that way to ensure nobody got to pack and send if something went wrong my end. Pay for it and wait about an hour.....thats for the order to be acknowledged back to you by email. Then go in and cancel the order. The Gift Cert is credited almost immediately....order Aspire stuff and it works. |

Its the variable performance of authentic Kanger coils that disappointed me first (leaky & short life). I got them from FT but not altogether impressed, so won't buy them in UK. Onto Aspire and with clone coils...seriously hit and miss so moving back to the RTA deck stuff. I might try authentic Aspire coils from FT because its likely I can dismantle them as shown on the Youtube vid: At some point I'll try ceramics...this cotton cooking stuff is limited really. You have to pay with bit coin if you order them from fasttech as they're Aspire products! They're on amazon for under a tenner though. The Aspires are on their way from FT. I used a Gift Cert because I wouldn't trust Bitcoin...one bit. Nor Max Kaiser (RT) for that matter! LOL Can barely trust Amazon with this stuff....and others there. Will shortly see how the Aspires are constructed. |

Halfords 420L Roof Box (not quite sure of the volume...was used for drum kit stuff some years ago)
Just wondering if any of you campers want the above....for free.
I am about 40 miles south of Shrewsbury
Might be useful to someone?

The Heatvape I'm using now brights up a lot when I hit the fire button glen and then dims down a lot on button release. After some minutes it blanks out which is Batt saving. I'll run my older HCig DNA40 up tomorrow to see if its the same? |

Could anybody shed any light as to why one of my large screen dna40 mods has a duller screen than the others, it illuminates more when you are pressing the fire button, but goes dimmer as soon as you stop, all functions are working as they should, so it doesn't affect the performance or quality of the vape, any help greatly appreciated Many thanks Glen I would think that its a display driver...weakness. That'll be the chip that controls the display itself. I have 2 Heatvape Invaders (cheapo from efun.top recently). One of them when the Batt volts get down a bit breaks up into a dotty mess...some may say its pretty looking. I think its crap driver chips here and there? No way to fix..defo! edit: Likely the driver and display are the same chip |

As shown in pic and about a year old. Its the first tank I acquired when starting vaping and did not keep the box etc. Moved up the tank scale since. It comes as shown. All thats required is to: 1. Tighten the tank onto its seals (was dismantled for cleaning) 2. Screw in a Kanger Atty 3. Add juice 4. Draw and adjust air vent ring at bottom...click - click. It has a slight nick out of the glass (pyrex) on one of its ends. Put that end at the top of the tank on any re-assembly. Not a problem. PM me with an address and I'll post it.  |
