      Total perfection this device in my opinion. So pleased with it. Been vaping like a chimney all day! ๐Ÿ˜„

        That's a mighty fine looking unit Oli.

        I saw a video recently and the guy was filling from the bottom which looked awkward, especially if you are out and about. They did say you can fill from the top but it takes less liquid than filling from the bottom.....or did I misunderstand ?

          If you fill from the bottom you can fill the whole tank 100%.

          If you fill from the top you need to leave a tiny air gap for when you screw the lid back on. You probably lose 0.5ml of liquid, nothing problematic.

          I still fill from the top; there's enough juice to last all day. I find the bottom valve just as impractical as the last one, I just like to fill up quickly and go. If I'm vaping heavy I may use two tanks worth of liquid in one day.

          I'm still very impressed, I knew the Kayfun would be good but the Semovar Mod is rock-solid reliable and feels just amazing.

                After vaping the same flavours for over a year, I decided to try some new concentrates for my DIY liquid. Really looking for nice grape/grape soda flavours and also a good banana.

                So I ordered the following concentrates. I have no idea what they taste like but only one way to find out!

                  New Mod by Kanger. If anyone wants a cheap, high quality mod then I believe this would be the best for less than ยฃ100. It looks so much better than my mother's Smoktech SID which was around the same price.

                  I have not tested this yet, so will post a mini review when I've tried one out. I think this will have to replace my mother's SID.

                  It's called the Kanger K-Simar. Only ยฃ30 and full stainless steel VV/VW.

                      Update on the flavour concentrates...I finally found the perfect Grape Soda flavours!!

                      The Inawera Grape and Tasty Puff Ghetto Grape are excellent. Totally like the purple grape soda drink.

                      All of the Tasty Puff concentrates are amazing. I'm so impressed. Even if you don't DIY your own liquids, I highly recommend getting some Tasty Puff concentrates and add a few drops to your vape. All of the flavours are just indescribably good.

                      The only flavouring that wasn't nice was the Flavour West Grape because it smells like anti freeze! haha other than that all the flavourings I bought are pretty spot on. (For a change!)

                        Mini review on the Kanger K-Simar mod

                        I received the Kanger K-Simar this morning. This is my mother's new mod to replace the Smoktech SID.

                        I gotta say I'm blown away by the quality. The stainless steel finish is as good as my Semovar!! Very good quality, it looks great too.

                        Feels nice and weighty in the hand. Buttons click very well with no rattling. The 18650 battery fits fine, again, no rattling.

                        The OLED screen is easy to read, displays battery level information and a puff counter with current wattage.

                        Easy to change power with one click. You can also lock the watts so you don't change the power by mistake in your pocket.

                        This mod is obviously built to be used with Kanger's Protanks and Aerotanks, the fitment is perfect. For the price I don't think there is anything that can compete. (ยฃ30 or $50)

                        I have a attached some photos. I have placed the Smoktech SID next to the K-Simar. The difference in quality is VERY apparent, the K-Simar weighs a lot more too. Please bear in mind that the SID is only a couple of months old; looks completely battered and no longer functions properly. Both these mods were around the same price.

                          My Provari is 11 months old, still looks as good as new but the button rattles a little at certain angles....appears to be working just fine though. I have been considering a backup unit for a while and there looks to be a few good (and less expensive choices) available.

                          The cost of the Provari was nearly $200AUS when I bought it......I wonder what the price tag on the new V3 will be ?!

                            Yeah I like the Provari but the price is out of touch IMO. I'm keeping my little one as a spare. Yeah my button on the Provari rattled from day one, but didn't bother me. It's a very solid device but I bet the new one is ยฃ250 easily.

                            If you want a cheap spare mod, Gareth I would highly recommend the Kanger K-Simar. Been testing it for a couple of days and it's great. Feels almost like a Provari in terms of quality and that's unbelievable for 5 times less money!

                            The K-Simar takes 18650 batteries as standard so need to buy any more. It fits any atomiser with a 510 connection....ie a Kayfun, Protank, Aerotank, Nautilus, Vivi Nova etc...

                              I bought an e-cig as well, a very cheap one, on a whim. I'm rather surprised as to how effective 'vaping' is. And no tar!

                                Once you get to the better quality mods and finding good flavors you will do done with the cigs for good.

                                          Forgive me for being ignorant, but he has just said E-Cigs are a "significant threat to public health" and then goes on to say "no E-Cig has been tested for safety".

                                            yeh Oli.....it makes little sense

                                            what I can say though is that the naysayers are a minority with a loud voice (the Cancer Council is one of them)
