Anyone have any recommendations as to where I can get some 6mg Dekang / Joyetech Menthol? These flavours would be my 'go to' vapes but since the Vapour Store shut down a few months back I have not been able to source 6mg Menthol (or any other flavours!) anywhere.

Thanks in advance

30ml Dekang Menthol
[30MLDKMTH]
€8.50
0 and 11mg from Ezsmoke
i guess if you mixed the 2 of these you might get 5.5mg

Picked up a cheap (and nasty) multimeter today for checking resistance of my coils and checking batteries etc. It's giving me higher readings than expected for resistance.

Am I right in thinking that I need to subtract the value of resistance that I get from holding the probe tips together i.e 1.5Ohm from the reading I get when checking my rebuild heads/coils. i.e 3.3Ohm-3.5Ohm. So my coil is approx 1.8-2.0 Ohms. Correct?

Not sure if that meter would be fit for purpose though if there's 1.5 ohm resistance in the probes and you're measuring at 1.8 ohms in terms of the coil.....I'd be taking whatever it says with a pinch of salt!

Gonna try a different set of probes. I've checked 3 heads and to be fair it's close enough for me, they're all showing the same resistance(ish) when compared to a calibrated Fluke jobby from work. Works well for checking voltage though.

it's measuring at 3.3-3.5ohms at the coil though, 1.8 is what he gets after subtracting the 1.5

Yup.

These people have some in 6mg, might have the ones your looking for.

Sigelei Atomizer Ohm Meter on ESI for €17, haven't seen it on there before but may have missed it.

I received my protank 2 today and I likey very much.

I can't take it apart though and don't want to risk breaking the glass tank. Are they usually stiff at first?

dePeatrick

My miniprotank 2 was extremely stiff when I got it, made the mistake of tightening to too tight to reassemble and it distorted the seals....seems it just arrives tight and does not need to be that tight at all, could be change in temperature or something else.

DublinCJM

I found the protank 2 to be quite stiff at first.

Just got the mini protank 2 the other day, and I love it, but capacity isn't great.

Couple of spare seals in the box too, so that's a nice addition. (Edit, just see yours was a mini dePeatrick... did you spot spare seals in under the base)?

I did indeed, thanks, not sure where they are for though....thought they looked like they would fit the drip tip?

Yeah, just had another look at them... They're a bit small alright.

Fancy box mind you.... would rather the yolk was a quid or so cheaper than the fancy box it comes in

Ha ha haaa....am keeping spare coils in it, just needs a little knob to be a proper drawer....good quality overall though, only gripe is that at times when refilling the threads on the base seem to want to mis-thread....think it only happens when threads have been cleaned though, maybe better leave a little juice on them

Fratton Fred

It's nice the protank and certainly feels like a quality bit of kit.

If it had the vivi nova type top coil set up, I would gladly throw away my picture of Holly Willoughby and go to sleep cuddling that instead.

Yep, agree with the mis threading... and I think the depth of the base is longer on the original mini protank than it is on the mini protank 2

Ahhhh...so it is not just a glitch on mine, out with the magnifying glass later tonight and take a closer look.....

Fratton Fred

Why has no one brought put a short fat battery rather than long thin ones? an ego twist that was 900mah and with the same diameter as a protank/vivi nova/iclear 30 would be brilliant.

That's my thought for the day!

dePeatrick

Now that you say it.....exactly!

Would you believe mine has refused to attempt mis-threading all night, took a look at threads under magnification and well tbh could not see what the problem was.......wonder has it just bedded itself in after use....:)

M00lers

Those 1300 ego c twists are a bit fatter than the normal ego style versions.

Green Hornet

The vision spinner 1300 is fatter than a twist.....probably a little bit longer than a 650 twist but twice the mAh.

Whats the situation with vaping in Ireland, do you find many people are using electronic cigarettes?

If you look at the number of Irish vendors coupled with the activity on this forum it is definately on an exponential rise.

Hardly mainstream perhaps but I know of a fair few folks who have quit with ecigs and many more are aware of their existance.

dePeatrick

@besecigliquid, no one at all, zero interest, down with that sort of thing I say.....:D

Ballincollig is littered with them because of the VapourPal store. I see as many vapers having coffee in the morning or walking their kids to school as I do smokers. Very strange.

tommy2bad

Same here in KK, almost as many vapers as smokers now.
Was in a coffey shop today and the owner wants them banned, her shop is pavement only, no indoor space so she reckons if they take off no one will come to her as they can smoke them indoors.

Says an awful lot about how she views her own produce and service.

Stop setting that bar so high for yourself coffee-lady!

Mr. Chrome

Vapers are fairly scarce on the ground in galway from what I can see. I'm seeing the odd one now and again but then again I dont get out much these days:-)
