Vaping chat- anything related to vaping

I've added a bit more flavour and nicotine and leaving it to steep for a few more days.
It was alright, just a bit meh.

Anyone had any experience with Vape Universe?
I've ordered a mod from them but today I looked at the Google reviews for them and doesn't look good.

I've been looking on their at mods ect but I ended up ordering off totally wicked hot the arc gti only downfall is tank is a bit small but it's top fill which is better for me.

I thought all the UK tanks were 2ml max nowadays?

You can get bigger tanks but most do come standard 2ml a smokd one I have came with 2ml tank paid extra couple of quid got 5ml tank same with my voopoo lol

When the tpd law came in they made it compulsory UK tanks are 2ml.

Most companies put a rubber stopper inside the tank to make it 2ml. you can remove it.
Some put bigger glass in the box so you just change the glass. Some come with chimney extender too.

If you want some decent UK vape sites for hardware try

Ecig one
Vaping 101
Greyhaze.

For DIY and concentrate or bottle shots try.

Darkstar vapour
Kernow flavours
Flavour boss.

Like devices it works similar with ecigs all depends on budget me personally I started out with an ecig from home bargins paid £7 and just bought disposable tanks to go on it for like a quid or maybe 2 quid just to see how I got on with vaping instead of smoking as was having 20+ fags a day.
Once I got the hang of vaping (kind of) I went for the arc 5 mini where you can control wattage goes from 0-40 watts max I didn’t like the tank that come with it so bought the k3 aspire tank and a box of 1.6om coils for a smoother drag and started off on the nic salts ecig liquid but not many decent flavours in 20mg nicotine pre made ecig liquid.
Now I use 12mg pre made liquid and just learning to make my own liquids with advice from pablo and Jamie-lee.
We all started differently the easiest way is go to your local ecig shop explain you want to stop smoking and move onto an ecig and they will advise which one to start with and strength liquid bud but that’s how I started with ecig now I’m lucky to have 3 fags if that in a day lool

There's no one system that suits everyone.
Just get one you think might suit your needs.
Don't buy something you can't get coils for.
I've bought these in the past by mistake, ecig cost me £20 and then the coils were a tenner each, it went in a skip.
Most coils are a quid or two each and last from a fortnight to six weeks.
As @bazcfc1 mentioned above, visit ecig shop and see what they say.
Don't buy the first thing they offer you, go online and do a bit if research

If your giving up smoking use a mtl setup.
Look at aspire or innokin devices and tanks.
Aspire nautilus tanks are very good for mtl and the coils are very good.
Nautilus coils are well known for being one of the best. They have been around for at least 10 years they are that good.

How are you getting along with it?

To me the tank and coils make it really nice and smooth on my arc 5 mini I've only got it on 13 Watts and using pinkman ice 12mg liquid in it bud.
I have just got the arc gti and that's decent also that's on 20 Watts for a decent drag but using tank that come with it

That's the best thing about mtl.
You only need low wattage and your juice lasts longer.
I see them arcs have built in li-po's, how is the battery life on them?

My arc mini lasts about 2 days bud my gti lasts about a day but that's on a high watt and my dtl mod (voopoo)lasts roughly a day as that's on 40watts I've a couple of others but don't hardly use them now

Thats good battery life on li-po's 2 days.
Is the voopoo single battery or li-po?

Not sure bud think it's just one battery

 

[Jamie Lee spice]

Much better having removable batteries.
At least if your batteries die you can swap them out.

For anyone mixing their own juice.
With bottle shots the required amounts are printed on the bottles.
The instructions are all for 70/30 but if making 50/50 for MTL using a bottle shot.
Just get your nicotine PG based add your required nicotine level.
Concentrate is always Pg based so in my bottle here we know 41.25ml is PG.
If we added 40ml 72mg Pg based nicotine that will take us to 81.25 PG the Nic level will be around a 12 to 16mg. Add PG to make the 81.25 up to 125ml.
Then add all the rest straight VG up to 250ml and there's your 50/50 mix.
Shake the bottle like hell and on the bottle it tells us 7 day steep time.
Put in dark cupboard for the steep time.
After 7 days your juice will smell really good shake well before use and enjoy.

My own mix is about 75/25 I only use 10ml 72mg nicotine in 250ml bottle shots.
And it tastes and feels like a 3mg.

Hope my guide will help people.
So much easier making it this way 👍
