As the old one is nearly full!

All & any vaping chat welcome.

No question is too daft to ask. We've all been there at the start of vaping in the minefield that it is.

Only rule is: No Willy Waving!!

I went over to Brighton today & went to Vape evolution.

What a stunning & v classy shop.

www.vapour-evolution.com/

Lots of stuff imported from the US & some really lovely liquids & a chance to try all of them.

I came home with some rhubarb & custard & am really enjoying it. If you've read any of my other posts you will be as amazed as I am as I've had 2.5 years of only vaping tobacco flavoured Sherlock.

Upstairs is the Hemp works empoium - (sadly no samples) but what an amazing display of kit, should you wish to vape anything "herbal". Grin

Excellent, I'll be paying that a visit at the weekend!

Thanks for starting the new thread magi, and for the tips about the nautilus. I'll try loosening it slightly.

magimedi · 24/02/2015 16:01

Don't loosen it, per se, just don't tighten it too much when you've filled it & are putting it on. It took me a couple of days to get used to it & now it's fine.

Thanks for the new thread, magi Smile

Dizzbomb · 24/02/2015 23:06

I like the nautilus.. but sorry the subtank by kangertech beats it hands down. Im loving it.

Magi some of the US imported stuff is stunning. I like drakes vapes punky bruiser, Space jam have a couple of nice flavours but best of all Mystique (Same company that does space jam) cronos is just to die for.

Just marking my spot on the new thread Grin

pinkrocker · 26/02/2015 17:03

Hello viping vapers. Advice please? I stupidly allowed my e-cig to roll off the desk and the mouthpiece smashed. I have the exact same replacements so that's covered, but everything tastes wrong and kind of burnt now, is there a way of "priming" or something

magimedi · 26/02/2015 17:27

I wonder if you cracked the atomiser/coil as well? Did you replace that?

starsandunicorns · 26/02/2015 20:16

Oops sorry, I meant I have kept the battery and just replaced the atomizer and mouthpiece. I've got about 6, standard ones that come with starter kits (two 'strings' one on each side, fill from the top and screw mouthpiece on top!)
But all taste wrong and not very sweet.
Big oops!

Pinkrocker I've found with a fair number of replacement atomisers that the first few drags taste vile - it's the treatment they give the silicon wicks, and soon stops. Or you could clean the replacements before you ever use them (I always forget!).

Also, if your broken atomiser was a bottom and/or dual coil, you'll definitely notice the lower vape quality if you change to a bog standard CE4 which is what usually comes with starter kits.

pinkrocker · 26/02/2015 22:03

The one I broke was just a bog-standard one, that's what is odd! The other bog standard ones are just hot and burney. Maybe I had a special one and didn't know. Bin-men have been so it's too late to fish it out of the bag and try and fix it! Grin

growinggoldwithcustard · 27/02/2015 08:54

Just to let you vaping vipers know that I gave up fags for vaping back in August 2013 and gave up vaping for NOTHING in August 2014. I just reduced the amount of nicotine in my juices down to zero over time and then one day decided I didn't need the habit of puffing and blowing out vapour. I was also getting a little peed off with my kit leaking in my handbag or evaporating at a rate of knots!

I reduced my spend from £350 month on fags to £28 month on vaping to NOTHING. I have adopted two galgos and booked a holiday to Barbados for my 60th on the proceeds of this. I am Smuggie McSmuggerson of Smugville.

I have an unopened 0% cherry flavour liquid and an unopened 0% mintberry flavour liquid from Vape Escape that have been sitting in my drawer for many months now. I am happy to post to someone who wants to try them if you PM me.

yellowsnownoteatwillyou · 27/02/2015 09:10

Impressive, growing!
I'm trying to do the same at the moment quit fags at stoptober, was on med but now on low, going to try some zero ones and see how I get on soon.

magimedi · 27/02/2015 09:50

Well done, growing - you deserve to be Smuggie McSmug.

Bumbiscuits · 27/02/2015 17:28

I'll join the thread too. I've been vamping since October, stopped smoking cigs 2 weeks earlier.

I vape very little too. I've just started my 3rd bottle of juice. I pretty much only vape if I'm having a drink, plus whenever I get a craving (not often).

MeganChips · 27/02/2015 19:05

Well done long term vapers.

I am visiting the Brighton shop tomorrow to see if new coils help the Nautilus, it's still pretty tasteless.

I really want an istick with this wrap now. They're quite expensive from this shop but are they legit on ebay?

Cary on vaping, vipers.   Here's the new chat thread!
magimedi · 27/02/2015 19:46

Megan - Do make sure you go & have a look at the upstairs of the Vapour Evolution shop - it's the 'herbal' & shisha bit & is wel lworth a look. Some mind boggling stuff. Sadly, no samples upstairs. Grin

OP posts:
PlentyOfPubeGardens · 27/02/2015 21:22

pinkrock if you haven't sorted your problem yet you could try this (I've never tried it myself but it makes sense as a fix). Longer term, get some of these - far less hassle. Make sure you get them from Tec-spec1 - there are a lot of fakes around. Very long term you might want to think about something proper posh like those Aspire things or a Kanger Subtank.

LOL at magi mixing your new flavours with your Sherlock Grin Brighton sounds interesting!

Yay to the new old vapers, well done! Flowers Have you all signed this yet? Also if you see any HCP's (or are one yourself) point them this way.
