Hello everyone, I'm having a new project, after a very long time, so I'm very excited.
I had to follow some guide lines, like dark wood furniture, and turquoise as a predominant colour. Not too sure about coral colour, but it was the obvious choice for me. I'm not very good with colours, so I'll guess there are some others that will compliment turquoise better. I'll love to hear some c&c.
Regards,
Stefan

I think it's all about experience. Experienced vapers will go on-line . When I started vaping, I didn't knew about genesis, mods, mechanical mods, VV, VW,etc. I guess that's why they are called "starter kits".
An as a side note, I just discovered "Cuban Cigar". I'm vaping my ass of, since I bought it. It is 75 PG 25 VG. The brand is LiQua.
Oli, I can buy Vivi Nova's with 6.7 euro,

I used this one in the past. Very fast when dealing with rushed customers. It has a pretty decent rendering engine too.

Cheers everyone! I'm doing fine, thanks for asking Oli. 8 weeks, no smoking....WOW! I had to check the calendar, I've forgotten already. But that's a good sign, right? I didn't tried a cigarette ever since, not even one puff. I don't crave, and I'm not curious.
I tried several liquids (brands) and I have a new favourite, LiQua, american blend, 18-12 mg. I'm not sure I can go with 12 mg nicotine from now on, because sometimes, I just need more. Then I use 18 mg. My Evods are going strong, even the cracked one. I can't find 1.8 ohm resistance, but my supplier said only 1.8 and 2.2 are shipping in the next transport, so it will be better. I'm active on a forum, here in my country, and this guys seams obviously concerned about all the news regarding banning ET smoking around the world. They say will buy buckets of liquid base and flavours, if some imminent kind of restrictions are going to happen . Until then, I'll enjoy my vapours.
Clouds of tasting vapours for everybody!
Edit:
Pete, are these tanks available for you? That's what I call "pimp my vivi nova"

Hi Oli, the image below show the true problem when using the common shape mouse. I do agree they look odd. Maybe using both hands is the solution. Like Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Forgot the image (face-palm)

Thomas, I have that button in the toolbar you see in the image.

Hey, do you guys signed up for some beta testing new devices, so you all are talking in some closed topic, or what?
Just kidding
Just found a store today, from my favourite on-line shop. It was right there, under my eyes. I found that guy vaping. That was a great first impression. The shop was pour, little space, not so many products, (no mods for example), but it did had what I had in mind to buy: Some new juice that I wanted to try, and some coils for my Evods atomizers. I was using Dekang only, so I tried the juice they made "in the house". Is fantastic. It is full VG, but way more tasteful. I had some red-bull and some apricot flavours. Red-bull is almost like real thing, and the apricot one......WOW I just love it. I think I found a fruity flavour that I'll be using from now. They said the tabaco flavours are way beyond any liquids on the market. So, it was a great day for me, I just have to find a way to promote this guy, because ( and he didn't told me directly) is not easy for him. Buy the way, his prices was as on the on-line shop. I asked about Mods, and we had a very nice chat. I'm really thinking to buy a Mod lately, but honestly, I don't afford a Provari, I can't justify that to my wife right now. I was looking at one particular Mod, (mechanic), buid buy a guy from my country, which cost just 50 euro or so. It's called NOVA V2 Hybrid by CipCig . Check the review, if you have the time, because, I think the guy wanted to say that this is the best vaping device. I don't know....just watch.
Unfortunately, this guy can't handle very well the amount of orders that he must deliver, so the waiting list for his device is closed.
And by the way, I'm 45 days smoking free, but who's counting!

In fact, the image could be used as a great advertising.
For example: "The new ****** bla-bla-bla FORGET SMOKING!

The new Provari released yesterday

Hello Oli, I'm using kanthal because it seams to be preferred over the nichrome by most of the "guru's" in the forum I just joined. They say nichrome is less resistive, and not so durable as kanthal is. Most of them use 0.2 kanthal, and 2 mm silica when they aim a 1.8-2.5 ohm resistance. That's why I bought that, but I wanted 0.15 wire as well.
I was telling you to just buy pins, because is just to much hassle to make a perfect one.
I made mine to look just perfect, nice raps perfect distance between them, but it didn't worked. The wire burned that rubber/silicon gasket that keeps the wires apart. The original resistance that came with the Evod, looked like like a 0.20 wire. Maybe 0.18. The ones that I bought on-line are 2.5 and the wire looks thinner. I'm not sure is kanthal, in fact I bet is nichrome. You could try to make one, if you have the nerves, just be sure to be rubber smoke free. It's definitely toxic.
Regards,
Stefan

Two from my family

I would love to buy something like that, but they aren't for evods...
This is...almost beautiful

Cheers Oli, I didn't noticed any major difference, but I'm cutting the nicotine quickly, I'm on 8mg right now, so is hard to be objective. I'm using 2.5 ohm resistance right now, because the 1.8 ones ware out of stock. I believe because 1.8 is better. The ones with experience said that 1.8 will give you more vapour, better TH but lower flavour. 2.5 is better at flavour and will protect your battery better. Personally, if I have to choose right now, I'll be for 1.8 if I could find them. But remember, and sorry for repeating myself, I'm cutting the nicotine, and to be honest, I feel like I need to vape more often.
Regarding rebuilding them, I used 1.5 kanthal and I felt less burned taste. Today I did another one, but without double legs. Looks like original one. I used 1.5 wire , 6 turns, held the silica and the wire over a flame, then I put it in the resistance body, did a dry burn, put 2 pieces of 1 mm silica above (very important for flavour) and that was all. I don't find my measuring device so again, I need to borrow one from a neighbour to see how many ohms did I get. Just to be in a safe zone, but I'm aiming 1.8- 2 at maximum.
As a side note, I would not bother making them, but I bought all that wire and stuff. They are sooo inexpensive, peanuts like you said.
So, did you try it? The Evod? I'm pretty happy with them, the oldest one is almost 3 weeks now, and is doing fine. I did cracked one around the mouthpiece, but was my fault, trying to clean the shirt out of him, stuffing some ears stick in it... but amazingly, it still no leaking.
Sorry for not being able to give you a strait answer.
Cheers,
Stefan

Crap! I feel a burned rubber taste! I'll have to double the coil where the rubber and the contact pin meet. It's a known issue. The coil burn the rubber. I'll give it another try tomorrow.

I was successfully rebuilding two coils of my Evod clearomizors. I made them at 1.9 ohms. I didn't make it from the first time, but it was just a matter of adding just one more spire. So, 6 spires of kanthal 0.20, and 2 mm silica wick. That is 1.8-1.9 ohms according to my measurements. I cant wait to try them. In fact, I'll replace one right now.

Congrats everyone!
I'm one month and 3 days no smokes, feeling great, no desire to smoke.
Cheers Oli, Evods will flood the battery when the wick is old, but that's not a big problem. I ordered some spare bits online, now I have 3 clearomizers, and 6 pins. I got silica and coil,and I'll rebuild them soon. The original coil is 1.8 ohm, the ones that I ordered ware 2.5 ohm. I didn't noticed any differences regarding taste or TH. They are so cheep in deed, but you can always rebuild them, if you have time. I'll keep posting as soon I have one done.
Cheers,
Stefan

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!

I'm like everyone here thought I would never be able to quit 2 weeks for me.

Congrats Walt!

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.

Well done iichiversii!!! Congrats!
About my EVOD BCC atomizer, what can I say, it's better that the "standard" ones, looks better , taste is better. I bought a second one today, but sadly for me, I didn't find yet replaceable pins for it. I did found them on-line, but they are so cheap that the transport will cost more. So far so good, the first one that I had it's still in good shape, no drips so far. It is a solid cheap product, I'll stress it more (the first one) to see when it's going to fault. Maybe I'll end up rebuilding the pins, who knows, I'm kind of a patient type, so it could be fun to try it.
I did find a video review of it, so if you guys have the patience until of the end, this guy end up rebuilding the pin, so it should be fun and informative.
Cheers to all and happy vaping!
