Not really looked into getting another mod yet,I'm really happy with the Kbox. I like the look and spec of the Odyssey tho so could be on my list(after a few more Scooby mods )
Acebeam looks cool,definatly one to consider before I buy a pd35

Yeh,well put an order in with vinh for the ec32vn,current bump etc and engraved............like the xp-l tint. Tbh the pd35 is an awesome light,so cant really go wrong with either,the acebeam is kind of a copy but a pretty good "new ish" brand. Vinh made me a custom acebeam x40 triple quad with solid copper heat sink(expensive but awesome) with 12x xp-l leds for around 5000 OTF(out the front )lumens(loose up to 20-30% from led lumen to OTF from relector and lens hens the ANSI ratings




I digress

I am using the Kbox still,vaporshark not used much(not that i think its better) just using the Kbox and sub tank for a change..............great. Been used for work,found i need to take a spare 18650 cell though.....

No probs,Norb is a great guy and he has good cells,so many dodgy ones out there,copies of branded cells,cheap fakes............worse bit is the danger side as can literally be a pipe bomb if use cheap crap ultra fire and sub-ohm could= 1/2 a face and i kid you not. They have enough energy to blow the end out of a flashlight and lodge it in the wall!!!

So much crap on ebay,cheap chinese mods,cells,chargers and just wait for accidents and worse to happen around the corner. I just hope people join forums(like here as an example ) to get knowledge and re-search before jumping in the deep end. So much to learn and respect,but by no means brain surgery,just common sense that unsurprisingly is not common!

We have lithium in our cell phones and laptops(remember the fires years back-cheap crap chinese batteries) power tools too. However these have integrated chargers(phones/laptops) so safe(er). Thats why a good brand charger(as you have) and cells are as important as each other.

Back on ecigs i am looking forward to the new atlantis mega tank,hopefully out this month

Yup I'm so glad I took your advice and binned(safely recycled) the cheap cells and charger!
I Had no idea about the dangers.

As for tanks,I have my heart set on the Russian 91 for my next one,the clones are very cheap but I suspect they won't be much good so I'll be going for a pukka one.

Yes,tbh i need to get my finger/s out (not in an un-polite way )and start making some coils. Would like an ohm tester and little jig to help make them and to be sure the ohms are right with amount and spacing of coils.

The 91 imo is about as good as it gets and always seems the bench mark for new buildables to compete.

Had a few clones in past(not the 91 though),just something there knowing its not as good as it should be


Defo worth the buy once cry once for that tank,search about,google the shop with "voucher codes"............saved me 10% before now with a quick search

Would look at possibly importing,just get marked bellow $50,ideally a lot less
http://www.evcigarettes.com/the-russ...2-rba-by-kebo/

UK prices and for the v1
https://www.ukecigstore.com/kebo-rus...-atomizer.html

Still worth it from what i have read up on

Will be looking to import one to save a few pennies

I've kinda cheated a little and have a few pre wound coils,just add the cotton. I will be buying the wire and a jig tho when these run out,also I just use my multimeter to test the ohms are where I want em.

I use mine for my cells


Keeping an eye on them,more so with the nitecore tm06vn with u3 led swap,nice 4700 OTF lumens(so 6000lm) from a small light...........awesome little beast.

I am liking something like
http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co....t-product.html
or
http://101vape.com/accessories-/362-rba-coil-jig.html

Can buy from fasttech etc though


and
http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co....r-product.html

I cant find it cheaper than here
http://www.goforsmoke.com/100ml-unfl...ine-9812-p.asp

Regardless of yoyo and discounts..........i go for the VG which is thicker ,so get more smooth vape.

Bare in mind now with sub ohming,you can lower your nic concentrate a good bit!!! So even more savings as more hit with sub.

ie- 18mg can be like 11mg as an example,worth experimenting tbh,might find you can 1/2 your use=last twice as long.

Too add,the above link i have used many times,always spot on and with you within 3 days

Posting up some great links there ven
That nic is well cheap! I just need some mixing/measuring kit and I'll be good to go.
Now I'm sub ohm I've dropped from 18 down to 6mg nic although I do have some 10mg election juice to use,still a nice drop tho and I find the lower stuff a smoother vape.

No probs,hope helps and others

Thats a good drop is that,100ml nic should last a good while


Measuring kit,i only use this,tbh i could do with 100ml one but make do with
http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co....r-product.html

So i just keep adding the req ml of pg/ag and nic/flav till it gets to the pre worked out 50ml with calculator......simple as that.
Then poured into 100ml or now 250ml(from my PG or AG bottles),shake,and repeat with another 50ml,and again x enough to fill 2x250ml of pre-mixed fluid. Then i top up 100ml bottles,from these i have 30ml around house and in work. So it starts with 250,then to 100(when empty i top back from 250ml) to the 30ml(when empty i top from 100ml) and so forth. Sounds a bit **** over tit,but the size of the bottle mouths save loosing much fluid.......

Going from the larger 250ml straight to a 30ml bottle would result in spillage..........spillage=££

Just a reminder that you don't need to be a battery nutter like Ven in order to quit the stinkies with an electronic cigarette.

I fill my tank, I plug in the micro usb every couple of days, I don't stink and I'm subjecting myself to a fraction of the harm of smoking.

On the 'Pub' topic:

Recently, I was in The Rose (opposite to the river at Vauxhall) in F1's favourite place known as London. I have to say that I was impressed with the gentry, the atmosphere, the flower vases packed with my favourite pink lily flowers that smelt as sweet as, and no disorder whatsoever. Just chilled drinkers with plenty of social etiquette. My colleagues and I even ate there, and the food was very good!

Moral of the story is that not all pubs are rough, and London can be good if you can excuse the traffic.


However, FAO F1:

Are we having that meet in Chester or what, in Summer? Don't tell me you've run out of steam already.

You don't need to really, i usually vape what i make straight away.

If i'm not vaping any juice immediately, then after mixing and shaking i just leave the tops off the bottles to let the bubbles escape and repeat til there are less bubbles produced. It makes no difference to the taste/quality either way to be honest.

Just ordered 250ml of MBV Faux Hawk from Cloudhouse Vapour I don't steep the 250ml bottles and they taste the same to me from full to empty, which is months.

Still got 3 of the 5 pack of coils I ordered with my Subtank in January!! Changed one the other day just because it must be disgusting, new one wasn't massively different, really impressed with the Subtank and Coils.

I assumed he meant home made juice, you don't need to steep bought liquids at all.

2 day delivery, paid for that too. ¢50 for 250ml. I should really buy flavourings from there and mix my own but I'm lazy.

ah ok that isn't too bad then, when i last bought from them it was over a week! Yes you must! lazy git indeed, the savings are there to be had, while you can. i.e. before the whole industry gets regulated by the toffs in parliament.
