Oh, cross post, yes that Amazon one looks fine.

You need to be vaguely mindful of counterfeit stuff but anywhere/one with good reviews should be OK I guess.

Thanks everyone.

Got my full shopping list, went to pay, realised I'm waiting for a new bankcard as the last one snapped on Saturday. Looks like quitting time is gonna be Monday...damn.

All ordered except the liquids....decisions. So Puffin is recognised as the most pleasant supplier of these?

I've not tried Puffin, but they say they're weighted in the VG direction, so might be okay. Best I've had so far have been from ENjuice, but I'm looking to try UKECigs next 'cause theirs look good.

Don't doubt you'll try a few different places before you settle on the omen you like best.

Cool.

There's nothing in particular to recommend Puffin. They send the goods out quick and have free delivery over £20. It was Free on everything when I first went there but ho hum. I get through one 30ml bottle a month so a two bottle £25 order every two months works out fine.

The impression they give from the site and emails/packaging seems like they're set up well compared to some of the more back street operations. But who knows, it's easy to give the impression nowadays.

The actual liquid is nice and thin so it doesn't go gloopy but not so thin it's sharp. The PG/VG mix AJ was talking about. For a warm thick flavour like chocolate you'd probably want the thicker vapour, for the minty ones I prefer the thinner suits better. As AJ said they do let you experiment with PG/VG mix but that requires ordering multiple bottles to find the one you like best.

Seems odd to talk about thick and thin vapour, it's just smoke, but you'll see and feel the difference when you start using it regular.

Decided to get back into vaping for when I'm out drinking and willpower alone won't cut it.

I've got two tornado batteries so going to try your clearomiser ones. £8.50 a pop isn't too bad so will grab 2, a plinth and some flava flav.

May go for the Vivi Nova 3.5 tank. Hmmm, decisions.

Make sure the wick is good and soaked before firing the first time. Sounds like you've done that. You can top it up all the way to the little max marker on the side.

I personally in one long breath do clean air>>press button 1-2 seconds>>clean air.

Then remove the pipe, hold the vapour my mouth and breathe in with a bit more clean air. I wouldn't try breathing the vapour straight down as it's likely to blow your head off. That's gonna depend on preference though.

Keep it topped up beyond minimum, you don't want to try and burn when it's too low. You'll know if you do this by accident. Try not to store it horizontal between puffs as a bit of liquid can leak and it tastes nasty. And is supposedly bad for you raw. I have a little heavy bottomed shot glass I stand it in on my desk.

Sorry, just to clarify are you saying you hold the button down for a couple of secs before pulling on it?

Can't wait to be in front of my TV and smoke, no more standing outside. Just got to get the expensive weed vaporiser now, then no more smoking at all.

Cool, seems like I'll get the desired effect with a bit of practice. Last question - how often do you change wicks, and I'm assuming you would every time you change flavour?

I do yeah. I clean them about once a week and swap between the 2.4 and 2.8 ends that come in the Nova pack whilst one is drying.

To clean just disassemble the tank and rinse in warm water. I then dry the plastic/metal with some kitchen towel and reassemble with the spare wick head. Then leave the washed one to dry naturally.

I was looking into this earlier in the thread and, if you're prepared to put the time/effort in, you can make weed juice pretty easily. Can't say how well it vapes, since the flash point of THC is roughly the same as that which these units run at, but it'd be cheaper than dropping £60 or so on one of the bud vaporisers.

More like £150 man...in my experience you just don't get a decent product for less. Although I was going to ask you about weed juice..learning to make that would be very handy.

Without linking, I take it you found a step by step guide? PM pls!

I posted it earlier in the thread. If you can't be arsed to dig it out, I'll find it later when I'm not mobile.

Yup.
