HaydnH Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I like to stay above 0.2 ohm on my single cell mechs, always use decent high drain batteries such as Samsung 25r or Sony vtc4 or vtc5, an ohm meter is also a good to have Oddly enough they're the exact 2 batteries (vtc4 & Samsung) I'm using! I'd say an Ohm meter is a must have for mech mods! Although you can use a non-mech mod that has an ohm meter rather than buying a specific one. Something you didn't mention is to make sure the mech mod is vented (most are today, even the cheap clones), in the worst case scenario of the battery venting you don't want a pipe bomb in your pocket! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 @HaydnH what squonker are you using, I just got into squonking, I bought a kanger dripbox but didn't like the rda that came with it so I use a velocity v2 instead (comes with a drilled out centre pin) definitely enjoying squonking but would like to upgrade to a better mod, any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 @HaydnH what squonker are you using I'm using the Firebox 50W Squonker: http://www.ivapour-elixir.co.uk/firebox-squonker-50w.html Considering it comes with the mod, atty and a LG battery for <£70 I think it's quite reasonably priced. A lot of people comment on the weight of it, but I don't mind that, feels nice in hand and not too heavy in a pocket. My only down side would be the replacement squonker bottles, out of the box a lot of them let air in at the top so don't squonk, just let air out (easy to fix with a little tape around the metal tube) or have excess plastic inside the nozzle making it hard to squonk (also easy to fix with a small screwdriver to bore it out).. hardly a big issue considering you're rebuilding coils etc more often than replacing the bottle though.

HaydnH Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 ^^^ thanks for the link, I'll go have a looksie No worries. Considering I've paid £150 odd for just an atomizer before £70 seems like a bargain really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Up in York for work and was hunting round for a vape shop Found a little one. Really nice place. Loads of USA juices. Prices though, £50 for 60ml. Some cool mods and drippers. Ended up buying these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I used to like the USA premium eliquids, elements was a regular for me but the prices run a tad high especially if you can guzzle through up to 20mls a day like I do, that's why I got into diy, there are some great recipes out there and it's certainly easier on the pocket, I think I could probably make best part of a litre of ejuice for around the £50 mark Edited May 25, 2016 by tatooandy67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 One of my current favourites just now is a copy of cuttwood unicorn milk, it's a very smooth creamy dessert flavour, only downside to it is the waiting time, it's one that needs at least 4 weeks minimum steeping but when it's ready it's amazing mmmmmmm I'll post the recipe if anyone wants it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Ewwww, the thought of these sweet flavours hitting my palette makes me feel sick. Tobacco only for me Edit: you've got me thinking though, the juice I Vape is steeped using real tobacco leaves. I need to learn how to steep these myself. Iv got a few cigars laying around is it as simple as tearing these into pieces and throwing it in a pg/vg mix for a few months?

Grundy Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've heard good things about the bavarian cream. Only problem is it starts of expensive as you have to buy all those ingrediants first..no slow building up to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Here's a small selection of my favourites that I've taken offshore with me. Also my new rx220 upgrade from the xcube II...so far seems better and much nicer to hold and use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I tried to purchase some of the El Toro range from House of Liquid but had problems at checkout - wasnt accepting my paypal and I got a message saying my details were being re-directed to USA. Needless to say I changed my password faster than a GTR with launch control Shame really as I really wanted to try those steeped tobacco liquids they have on offer - purchased the regular again in bulk. Good ol' Cubana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) ^^^ Dragons blood sounds very nice, may have to give that a go Most of my concentrates come from either justvape247.co.uk or vapourdepot.com or theecigshop.co.uk My current favourites are unicorn milk clone(or a variation of, currently have 3 versions on the go, recipe listed in an earlier post) Vimto Vanilla custard (Capella v1) Extreme ice (menthol) Rhubarb crumble and I'm just trying out tuiti fruiti which is very citrusy and a refreshing change from cream/dessert flavours I've recently started using a company called darrant chemicals for my vg/pg they are very reasonable Edited June 1, 2016 by tatooandy67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Used them a couple of times, passed info on to a couple of workmates and they've used them too. Products are top quality, delivery is priced well but takes around a week from order to doorstep, so no next day delivery unfortunately If you're still using nicotine the best value high quality I've used so far is from here http://thee-cigshop.co.uk/DIY/Nicotine I usually buy the half litre 72mg in vg for £28 and decant into 100ml bottles and store it in the freezer each 100ml bottle lasts me around 3 or 4 months at the strength I dilute it to Edited June 1, 2016 by tatooandy67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
