Just had 2 mails(the emails from decadent vapor make me laugh as all posh lingo). So the 50ml flavour is on its way and my uwell crown tank has been dispatched. Really looking forward to this tank as supposed to be the best along with the tfv4 tank out right now

I await my duel coil RBA base too,i am on form right now

Got 10 coils and some muji cotton today and another 50 0.5ohm coils on the way...........good for the year

The Strawberry fields juices are ok and pretty cheap per ml, but they are very sweet.

Personally i make my own as well, so working my way through the whole TW flavour concentrate range

Pour the 20.8ml nic in on top( poured 28ml thinking 28ml and not 20.8..........so pics to prove my incompetence! )
So 28ml in which makes the nic concentrate higher but fine for me considering i used to be on 18mg

Swapped the 0.5ohm for a 0.25ohm and WOW the flavour and vape,the sweet spot is 40w for me without getting too hot too quick and what a vape.

Made 250ml wild cherry bubble gum
250ml capella bubble gum(amazing flavour)
130ml of raspberry candy floss(not tried yet but smells)

Highly recommend the capella BG , fruity,sweet but not too sweet.......really is a nice juice!!!

Hope of some help if considering,it is that easy,just dont think 0.8ml is 8ml

Cheers ven

Along with the tfv4, i very highly recommend the uwell crown tank,completely blows away the kanger mini

So i see you're getting your concentrates from another source, might try those as well then

And where are you getting the raspberry candy floss from?

Hey there,hope all is well

Yes,well i tried TW and it showed discontinued,i sent a disgruntled mail and their reply was "we are getting stock in 2 weeks"

No good for me : so i researched,good reviews and capella came out very high and rightly so.

The 50ml black bottle in the pic came from decadent vapours(very nice but expensive)

http://decadentvapours.com/shop/flavours/bubblegum-2/

Would check other flavours out !!!!

Bubble gum from capella
http://www.rainbowvapes.co.uk/produc...ur-concentrate

Real nice and fruity!!

For future PG and AG i will be getting from here
I mean £4.50 for 500ml !!! Its over twice as cheap as TW !!! so for £9+delivery a litre of diluent........just gets cheaper to make

There nic concentrate is around £12 too,i just searched for it and found for even less.........

This sells capella fluid,both bubble gum and candy floss
http://www.rainbowvapes.co.uk/collec...r-concentrates

Spot on

Look forward to your impressions,all my juices are mixed at 20% flavour,diluent now due to monster tanks is 70/30 to aid smoothness. Just too much on 0.25 and 0.1ohm coils with more than 50% PG

Very useful

http://www.cloudhousevapor.com/diy/m...ncentrate.html

Bit different as they sell premixed with nicotine, so I buy 50ml of flavour per 250ml of base.

I usually buy 250ml for €50, DIY would be half that.

PG and VG here for £5 per 500ml
http://www.goforsmoke.com/go4smoke-m...sed-9990-p.asp

The VG is thick so may need to be diluted with distilled water,bargain and i will be getting some from them next time.

All i do is a search for it and see what options come up,few shops selling for quite cheap,as long as the shop looks right and good reviews i just hit the buy button tbh.

Ridiculously cheap that! TW are charging £4 per 100ml for AG and PG!

I bought some bigger syringes to deal with VG as standard sized ones struggle even with AG

Well just made the wick and fitted to the duel RBA
Single coil that was in,looking a little burnt with build up(normal) on the coil,easy to remove wick and dry burn coil till glows,run under cold water and all comes off as new.

Now the new duel base
Coils are a little smaller diameter so a bit of a pita tbh,twist tight to feed through,then gently pull through,line up,place cap on to mark the cotton and cut

Now i found the cap will not fit easy due to all the cotton,so i pushed it up,all 4 ends and then fitted cap over. Then i used a small screw driver and pushed the wick down into their channels.

Being 0.5ohm and X2 =0.25ohm or as it shows 0.23ohm(never exact due to different tolerances,be it mod and/or coil/s).

Nice vape

So will try this and just rotate tanks/coils for now

I am the same or was,cba with all the faffing but with pre-made coils that takes the big ball ache out for me.

Wicks a little tricky,but soon get the knack of it and it certainly pays off. The flavour is far better over "most" bought coils. The crown tanks 0.25ohm are hard to beat imo too. These are a good step ahead of the kanger coils and some.

I put it off for a couple of years,as like you i just want an easy vape. to make that duel coil(coils already in place) took 5 mins before i was vaping and thats my 1st time on a duel set up.

Very nice vape,smooth,flavour,clouds..........spot on and works out a lot cheaper than £10 or £20 a time for a pack. You could make 50 coils for £5 give/take........

One day you may get bored or fed up ,when that time comes and you try it,you will be blown away by the difference. I knew they are better,just cba with it all until of late with these new larger RBA bases. Not as fidly, coils pre made,pretty easy..........even for me

Yea i agree, i have made the kanger single coil rba before and the vape/flavour is better, marginally. But even those i cant be arsed with the prebuilt OCC coils are only a tenner for 5 and last me months, so its no big deal really as i'm not a 24/7 vaper like some

Must start making my own juice. Ven, your bubble gum juice was awesome!

My local e cig shop has started to make their own and at 30mm for £10, it isn't too expensive.

Still going strong on the Subox Mini.

Great stuff!!! its a cracking kit and mine is used in the subaru to and from work.........and anywhere i nip out too. Find the size a lot more manageable whilst changing gear . Used to being sat up high plodding in an auto,not changing gear every 5 seconds in traffic on the *beepin* m60
Recommend this
http://www.electronic-cigarettes-eci...ne-cover-case/
I paid around £8 for a black one when they first come out

I have dropped it 3 times.........in a day!!! battery flew out So i gave in and got the case,protects it(think phone case for a few £ protects your little investment). Nice feel too and stops any unwanted battery cover movement
Sure i have links up,try capella bubble gum(even nicer !!!) ,2x10ml bottles will make you 100ml

pm me your add again, will send you some to try,no spare 30ml bottles but have some 10ml saved(have an order coming in with more bottles as given away)recipe is so easy to make and unsure i can run through it.

The decedent vapours bubble gum is nice too

Initial buying for fluids,containers,nic concentrate and flavours seems steep,however your saving from about 2-3 weeks of use. After that you just top up as you go. Say £12 for 100ml of 72mg nic(can buy 500ml or a litre that works out even cheaper and will last a year ). PG/AG for £5 per 500ml, so 1L for £10

Flavours are the most expense at around £2.50 per 10ml which goes as far as 50ml at 20%(dont want too strong then will go 100ml at 10% flv).

So £22 for diluents and nic and have 1L worth.

50ml of flavour is good for 250ml at around £15-£20 dependent on shop.

With all things considered,250ml will cost around £25 ish dependent on your nic level. I use 20ml of nic per 250ml juice(6mg is more than enough sub ohm vaping,many drop down to 2mg and heavy vapors too)..........so 100ml bottle lasts 1.25L

Buy a 100ml beaker as per previous link for ease and just follow my steps........

Its easier and quicker than turning your ipad on,logging into a vape shop and ordering via paypal

Cheers ven

Hi guys, decided to give this a go and would appreciate it if I could draw on your combined wisdom/experience to point me in the direction of a not too expensive, reasonable quality starter kit.

Had a look at that, seems reasonable price wise but there's no battery, what battery would you recommend and also what liquids, probably best if I buy a few small taster bottles to get an idea of what I like before going for a bulk buy.

I know absolutely noting about the machines or the liquids and nicotine content etc as this is the beginning of my research before purchasing, so any help and pointing in the right direction is appreciated.

You'll get a lot more answers.

Forgot they don't include the battery sorry. Someone will recommend one soon enough. I use one of these http://www.vapehit.co.uk/products.php?454 and it's been great since January but lots of people prefer the Subox.
