      Yes Pete, cinnamon flavours are VERY popular. I used to buy Big Red chewing gum but they don't sell it in UK anymore. I would also like to try a similar flavour, if it's not too 'hot' πŸ˜„

      Great news Juan! Yes red bull flavour is great, there are many different ones too. It's like choosing between Red Bull/Monster/Relentless energy drinks....slightly different tastes.

      Yes spare batteries are required!

      Pete I am so jealous of your shop. Here is the piece of shit I go to!! They also top up printer cartridges ❓

      http://www.no-match.co.uk/img/st/oldham.jpg

      I am getting somewhere with the Kayfun 3.1. I was coiling my wire too tight which resulted in a disgusting burnt hair taste. 😲

      After 4 re-coils I have almost cracked it. The flavour is OUTSTANDING in a kayfun, I can taste a full palette of flavour. VERY consistent vapour, no deterioration over time. Just smooth, steady vape. Fully adjustable air flow/vapour production. You can fill the atomizer through a special valve in the side too, no messy leaks.

      However, as the Kayfun delivers nicotine so effectively I had to halve the nicotine level in my E-liquid. So now I'm on 10 or 12mg nicotine. The nicotine is waaaaaay too strong at 24mg, I could taste it too. The manufacturer also recommends halving nicotine level when you change to a Kayfun. So I still get the same fix of nicotine, but only use 12mg. πŸ˜„

      I do not recommend the Kayfun to beginners. Get used to vaping first, see what flavours you enjoy and then consider the upgrade when you get sick of buying new atomizers. For most people, I believe an EGO is great and stops you smoking, but for a long-term plan I suggest trying out a rebuildable atomizer.

      It can be very frustrating the first time you coil your own atomizer. How hard can it be to coil a wire round a silica wick? Answer: VERY! You have to coil it just right, not too tight or slack....and with no excess wire. I was almost pulling my hair out with frustration at first, but now I can make the coil almost perfect and the effect is stunning.

      With larger atomizers you need to draw back a bit longer for a huge plume of vapour, but that's OK for me.

      Kayfun 3.1 scores:

      Flavour/Taste: 10/10 (WOW!)
      Vapour Production : 9/10
      Vapour Consistency: 10/10
      Ease of Use: 7/10 (tricky at first, but easy now)
      Ease of Coiling: 8/10 (although much easier than other rebuildable atomizers)
      Ease of Maintenance: 10/10
      Build Quality: 10/10 (unrivalled)
      Feel in the hand: 10/10
      Price: 8/10

      Provario 2.5 Mini scores:

      Flavour/Taste: NA
      Vapour Production : variable voltage, choose your setting.
      Vapour Consistency: voltage stays constant even when battery is low
      Ease of Use: 10/10
      Ease of Coiling: NA
      Ease of Maintenance: 10/10
      Build Quality: 10/10
      Feel in the hand 10/10
      Battery Life: 7/10 (get a spare battery)
      Price: 4/10 (expensive for what it is)

      If you are a hardcore vaper and don't mind a larger rig, go for the normal size Provari 2.5 like Pete's. Extension caps are also available for the Provari Mini to use larger batteries but this negates it's small size.

      Photos on the way. πŸ˜„

          My wife was just saying that this weekend, when we go out I normally get into some sort of religious discussion with friends and weirdo's, but recently I have been converting smokers instead.

              I found myself in a nite club Saturday wk, and in a packed smoking area I was getting some odd looks, but I was approached on many occasion with queries on the matter, I think I convinced them, I'm wondering now if I go bk to the same club will there be a vapouring area, lol

                    I tried vaping with the smokers but the smell of tobacco made me sick.

                      I work in a small shop, only five guys, all smokers. At this moment, only one still light up stickies. At first, they looked strange at me, laughing. Now, we change impressions about liquids and such. One of them tried a fag yesterday (don't understand why) and he told me he was so close to puke .
                      I'm 18 days smoke-free, which is A LOT for an ex-smoker.

                        It was 8 weeks smoke-free for me yesterday. 😍

                        My chest doesn't wheeze or crackle on exhale. I could never completely clear my chest, now my lungs feel clean. I don't cough any more.

                        I feel like my lung capacity has tripled. No dizzy spells, I can blow up balloons without passing out. My VO2 levels must be off the scale now, I can run and train without any noticeable shortness of breath.

                        My blood pressure has reduced. When I coughed from smoking, I could feel intense pressure in my shoulders and hands, like pins and needles pain. I discovered this was a sign of very high blood pressure and it really scared me. I have not experienced any such problems since. My resting heart rate has also decreased πŸ˜„

                        My skin looks better. Less dry, and "grey"....smoking gives a grey transparency to your skin and ages you quicker. I used to have black bags under my eyes constantly, no matter how much I slept. Now they have nearly gone!! I look so much better and feel more confident.

                        WOW. What a difference.

                                My friends and family are still using EGO tanks so I will get them to try the EVOD instead.

                                Just took a picture with my toys Oli, you can tell your friends that EVOD is at least as good as any EGO tanks, if not better. But they look ten times better!

                                  Cheers Stefan.

                                  I really want one of these vape stands, the smaller hole is to hold your atomizer at the battery connection while you change the wick and coil. All the other vape stands look like spice racks πŸ˜† They also do a stainless steel version but I can't find a picture, I think they do a range for the EGO too.

                                      Do you think that's how they manufacture them? It looks like ceramic, can't be certain.

                                        Ceramic, plastic, who knows. Either would be fine I'm sure and both are easily printable.
                                        It was just that I thought you were getting into 3D printing, perhaps I'm getting confused again.... oi vera.... have I had me meds today?
