Drippers will give you the best flavour but not very convenient for work or out and about so
have a look at some of the squonker's best of both worlds.
You get the juice bottle which are normally 8-10 ml but the flavour of a dripper.
ATM the pico squeeze is worth a look to see if it suits your style of vaping (and cheap).
Plenty of bottom feed attys about if you want to change from the one it comes with.

Cool

Lads, Alien kit with the big baby tank has turned up. Another step up from the Crown especially as i expected in flavour n vapour production. It is as the name goes a bit of a beast. I'm just using the V8 baby X4 coil that came preinstalled with it atm at 45W and it's awesome

So what do we get for our £70?



1. Alien 220W mod
2. TFV8 Big Baby Tank (5ml) 7 colour 24.5x56mm
3. V8 Baby-X4 Core (0.15ohm quad coils pre-installed)
4. V8 Baby-T6 Core (0.20ohm sextuple coils)
5. V8 Baby RBA (dual claptons)
6. Replacement glass tube for the RBA (it's slightly longer)
7. Replacement glass tube for coil heads
8. 510 Drip tip adapter
9. Usual spare parts (o-rings, vape bands etc)




The RBA section, with dual claptons.



The kit together;



Size comparison to my other vape, Kangertech kbox mini with the Crown tank.



One con, it drinks juice like a ****

Cheers ven, yea i wish i had gone for a more up to date mod n tank before now, it knocks kanger's stuff outta the park tbh. The immediate ramp up from the mod alone is worth it, gone up to 55-60W now, the flavour is just superb. Getting different tastes from my own e-juices that i didn't know existed Can't wait to try out the RBA.

Nice torch, yea the 7 colour tank is very similar to that, the pics didn't show it too well. It's also a very popular colour for bmx bikes, called jet fuel.

Might have to treat myself to the alien. Had my Kanger Topbox Mini for a while now.
Well into making my own juice though.
Pinkman and Heisenberg are my favorites at the moment.

How do you make your own juice and how easy is it? How do you flavor it etc

Me too, had my subox mini for over a year now and just managed to break the glass on the tank which I was gutted about.... well until I stuck my baby TFV4 on it that I got with my Smok pipe and released some new flavours... took it as an omen that it's probably time to get another daily vape mod as this is on borrowed time.

I've also been on the hiesenberg, bought a couple of 100ml bottles at £20 each and then double each up with 100ml of 80/20 mix of vg and pg... shop bought stuff is too sweet and strong for me, tends to irritate my throat or make it dry, so I like my juice flavours quite weak.

Very easy, and extremely cheap more to the point. You just need to go onto one of the wepsites like vape mate and get yourself some flavours from the DIY juice section and some PG and VG... I mix around 80% vg (vegabatle glycerol) and 20% pg (MonoPropylene Glycol) ... Most flavours are PG unless otherwise stated so you can use that as your 20% for the most part, and some nicotine.

Easiest way to start off is using a mixing chart as you need to get your nicotine quantities correct... but I don't use nicotine anymore so to make 100ml its as easy as 20ml of PG based flavour and 80ml VG.... jobs a good un 100ml of ejuice which lasts me 2 weeks ish and costs peanuts.

You tube and vaping forums are a good source of info too.

Just to add; Nicotine is dangerous stuff... so you need to be careful when handling it... and be sure of the quantities you're using... you won't need much of it either 100ml lasts like 6months or more... best to make sure you're clued up on what you're doing BEFORE you order anything and start mixing.

Super easy, ditchy has explained it in basic terms, you need PG/VG/Nicotine and your concentrated flavours. Decide what mix you would like for the PG/VG, i usually go for a 30/70 mix, and flavour is usually 20% of that mix and what strength/quantity of nicotine you want in your mix. So for me my personal preference for a 10ml bottle of e-juice with 6mg of nicotine in it i would use the following;

PG = 0.98ml
VG = 6.19ml
Nicotine = 0.83ml
Flavour = 2ml

(The Nicotine is also mixed with either PG or VG, i use VG based nicotine for a slightly smoother vape)

I also usually just buy a large bottle of premixed PG/VG in a 30/70 ratio and use that.

You will need a calculator to work out your ratios for your mix, this is a good one;

Because I enjoy smoking and it stops me from going back on to cigarets in a moment of weakness... I've smoked for so long that it's kind of part of what I do to chill and relax... reward system... time to think and ponder when I'm doing something or not as the case may be.

I'm much happier and healthier about vaping than I ever was about smoking combustables... glad it came along really as now I can smoke with out that niggling thought that I'm slowly but surely killing myself and the older I get... the more I appreciate life and want to continue to live it in a healthy manner, yet still do some of the things I enjoy... of which smoking is one.

Ok, but the point is you're not actually addicted to the nic but more to the action of smoking and the draw, inhale/exhale etc You should stop completely imo. Vaping is a lot healthier than smoking as you know, but it isn't a healthy thing to do

I can see where ditch is coming from. I smoked heavy for 15years or so and my mrs said try a vape pen. I thought no way can it be anygood. I tryed it and loved it. I was on 12mg nic at 1st but 12months on im now on 3mg. I dont crave for it and go 9hours without at work. I just enjoy a vape at home now with a beer or two

Right back at ya, you've quit cigs so quitting vaping should be easy now.

THB I've never been that physically addicted, quit many times, longest about 5yrs and over the last 7/8yrs never smoked when in the uk, but out here I'm mostly on my own all the time, but when I go out with friends 80% of people are smoking... vaping just stops me buying a pack and joining in... which I know I would do sooner or later... after a few beers... game over back to square one, so like I said vaping keeps me off the ciggies.

Tbh giving up the nic was and is quite easy never really noticed it beyond the fact that I knew there was none in the mix I was vaping.

I got back into smoking through cigars and that's happened a few times as I used to prefer them, Nice cuban or a King Edward and Remi Martin XO... was my thing for many years... ciggies were always a kind of side issue to me, I was more a spliff smoker until year 2000 when I quit smoking weed.

Don't get why you think you're so hooked on nic it's a 24 to 72hr addiction and then it's broken, never really bothered me beyond 5/6hrs which is about the point of first craving then it's gone.

eh? nic is one of the most addictive substances out there along with alcohol and then hardcore class a's, that's why it is so hard to quit it. I have tried vaping without the nic and it just didn't give me what i need or crave if you like. Even 3mg in a batch wasn't doing the job for me.

It's all in your head mate... your mind is just screwing with you... 24hrs and your done... the rest is just psychological... you should try getting off coke or coffee... proper decent physical addictions... caffeine and sugar.
