Still not got into that. I should, really, given I am burning through £1 every three days. Problem is my hands. They are badly damaged from all the years of abuse and now arthritis. This will be the last modded computer build I ever do, or the bikes. It just makes my hands hurt so friggin bad.
I'm finding fiddly things really hard to do now. Like it feels like some one smashed my hands with a hammer. And the biggest problem is I am out a lot. So for example I have a whole set up here (at my mother's) and one at home. Liquid, nic, PG, chargers, batteries etc. I got sick of lugging it everywhere in my case. If I got into coil building I would need two set ups for that too.. Just not really practical for people with an itchy ass haha.
I had my first juice with menthol in it the other week. I quite liked it as it goes (American Grape Ice or something). Nice going back to a good old jam doughnut though !

gona say this once more - Falcon resin sub ohm tank the flav are right up there with coil builds easy , if not better than a few rta's, Capacity: 7ml as well
and the coils you get for it will last bloody ages 2 weeks for sure
if you come across one on sale or if you dont mind ordering from china,
its perfect when you travelin and its just a top up and forget
gearbest or fasttech ...even tho gearbest will prob send it though their eu warehouses which will save you any tax (bought my recurve rda on a flash sale for 14 quid from gearbest)
quick edit : anyone know what is a good squonker mod to get ?

Mesh is the way to go for sub-ohm tanks. I gave my old tanks/mods to my mates plus a load of Juice as I buy the Flavour concentrate and add the PG/VG and nic myself which cost me about £30 a litre all in all. I just get more sastifaction using an RTA and building my own coils these days.
The thing is with Vaping it's new and there is always something innovative coming out every month. The market is saturated atm.
Scuba for a Squonk the Dovpo Topside is about the best on the market and it has an easy way of filling the squonk bottle it was designed by Brian of The Vapor Chronicles there are a lot of products out there designed by reviewers.
@AlienALX look up Foggy Bob on youtube for his "hands Free Clapton" method using the buckle from a wire tamer and a sealable bag it's dead easy once you get the hang of it. I use a drill and some fishing swivels to build my coils. Also check out N.Devine 83 for his ways of keeping the core wires parallel. Hope this helps

Oh dear it sounds like you need a Geekvape Aegis mod they are very durable and all the builders use them as they are so hard wearing

got a nice little flav banger the OFRF Gear RTA
its nice very small tank to it but it give out a lot of flav, it is not the quietest pull tho a bit of a whistle
im just waiting to see when the topside dual battery squonk mod will come out cos it look just like what i been waiting for , that and the recurve rda and i'll be sorted
i do like my single coils iv yet to find a dual coil that will give me a real good flav , any suggestions rda's or rta's , the kylin v2 is such a big let down for me, everyone was ranting and raving about it but a few weeks into every day use and its flaws are coming to light , leaking n crap ...
check out the review on the topside

the new mesh coils coming out with sub ohm tanks are crazy compared to what was out there before , the flav on them things isthey put a lot of RTA's and RDA's to shame
It's probably the first time I have ever had an Eliquid taste exactly as it smells, with no burning interference.
I love it, but man they are expensive. About £5 a coil. However, I'm now on day four and despite the liquid being a little bit discoloured the flavour is still bang on. I was going through a £1.20 coil about every day with the other tank I had.
What I need to do soon is drain it down and wipe it out. To get rid of any nasty stuff that is in there discolouring the liquid. A guy I know said he got 12 days out of one once. That's insane man.

12 days .. haha the mesh ones on the falcon tank i got are a min of 2 weeks depending on the juice can do 3 weeks if not more some times , these new mesh coils are don
even guy at the vape shop says (joking) these new tanks made you guys to economical its not in my interest to sell you em
if your using dark heavy juices then it might they will gunk them up faster tho
you just need to find the right wattage to use them there will bve a sweet spot that will make em last for ages
a coil will say 40 to 80w but they always say more than they should between 40 and 46-48w would be ideal for that also do half a tank on 35-38 just to break it in at first i say

Juices with a lot of sweetener in them tend to gunk up coils as well. I have 2 Kylin 2 rta's and agree that they leak albeit its only a little. I've gone full rta now apart from my Pulse squonker with the recurve on top and the topside dual is available in the UK, but I have heard issues of juice getting into the board on them.

FFS. *SLAPS FOREHEAD*.
So when I got my Ijoy Diamond it leaked.
It came with a clear "glass" and a red one. I figured sod it, I'll use the clear one. Well here I am about a month later (maybe more as it goes) and I noticed it was cracked to F. I've not dropped it. So I gave it a flush out and put this in (OMFG).
But before I did I decided to investigate the "glass". It turns out that the clear one was not glass at all, but plastic. I then discovered why... Basically the clear "glass" was not supposed to be used. It has a thin wall around the bottom, then becomes twice as thick inside. Why? because of EU law. The tank can only hold so much liquid. So they get around it by fitting this "dummy" glass that you then remove and replace with a piece of real glass (the red one) which allows you to hold up to 2x the amount of liquid. I guess the workaround is that they can't fit a bigger glass by law, but you can. Neato !
I've also been having mod woes. I bought a Cloupor T8 for £25 recently, having dropped and broken my Rev GTS.
Only problem? it's s**t. If the coil reaches below .15ohm it cuts out and says "Shorted". It's been driving me nuts. So I switched back to my Tesla Invader III, but it's a mod mod. So no variable wattage only volts, and even on the lowest setting it's far too much for my coil which is rated 40-50w (because they are mesh). I ended up getting this for £21.50 on Amazon.
And I am bloody glad I did. It is rated down to 0.01ohms and has no trouble firing my coils at all. It's also very light (because it is plastic, but even the £60 ones smash if you drop them !) and a much better shape than the old "mod box". It is not narrow, so it doesn't fall over anywhere as easily. It also has RGB, which is very entertaining and cost bugger all. The finish is like the one on Razer mice etc. You know? that soft touch thing and it looks about a million times better in person.
Very happy. If I drop and break it I will simply get another one.

I wish they would all make cases, like Tesla did. I had a really thick rubber case for my Tesla and dropped it with reckless abandon. It's ended up failing on the fire button, but I am not surprised given I have the damn thing jammed in my gob like a dummy all day lol.
Just got the Dead Rabbit RTA.
It's not bad but I am on the lookout for a different RTA, where it doesn't leak from the bottom like the one I was using but cannot remember the name of it, but think it is a Geekvape one because the seal at the bottom, is so poor that it just leaks.
Still trying to find as well a decent place to get flavour concentrates from that are not harsh on my throat.
