Welcome @StevoStevo
Wow, it seem you went all out there, you've picked some really great gear and looks like you're going full steam into DIY juices too. A word of caution though, I feel that I must warn you that the batteries that you've bought sound extremely suspect. My advice would be to bin them but if you feel compelled to at least try them out I would exercise extreme caution. 1500mah for an 18350 is a blatant lie and there is certainly no way on this earth that you would be able to safely pull 30A from one without it exploding in a rather nasty chemical fire. Same goes for the 18650s, any battery with the word "Fire" in the name should be avoided like the plague. Other than that it sounds like you're going to have fun
Enjoy the forum

Laugh my f***** vape out!! (LMFVO) Yeah no i know hey. Just trying to save a buck where i can as i've just about cleaned out my bank account with those orders. I'm aware that the green Sony batteries, the LG purple batteries and some other purple batteries are the best for high current mods but maaaan, they are pricey! So i opted for these, the 18650s stated that they come with a warranty so A++ on that. Thanks for the input bud, I'll definitely let everyone know how these puppies hold up!
Other than that, I'm very much of a DIY guy so if course I'm going to mix my own liquids and building my own coild, thus all those RDAs and RTAs. Besides, since the price of premixed flavor liquids are so high, i recon i've saved about a R2.5k on that purchase alone. I've seen the cheaper, "LiQua" flavors going for R130 for 30ml. SO, if i do the math. I have about 750ml worth of luiqid. (750ml / 30ml) * R130 = R3250.. I only spent R720. So R3250 - R720 = R2530... A substantial amount in savings... I say screw the nic as well, no need for that when you're going to be blowing clouds.
DIY all the way!
Thank you Alex! It's much appreciated!
Welcome to the forum @tr1cky
Congrats on the year of vaping
Enjoy your stay. We have a great place here!
Went right for the deep end w/that order!
@StevoStevo buddy,I'll be 60 soon and had smoked since childhood literally.I got into vapeing and I don't even consider smoking and wish the vape was around 35 yrs. ago. I was the proverbial heavy smoker and if I can quit anybody with an ounce of will and an ego pen can also.Good luck.Vapeing and the forum is a powerful one two punch against smoking.
Thanks hey, the vote in confidence is refreshing!! It's worth mentioning that not all those items are for me. Dads bday is coming up soon so I'll be giving him the V7 with an attie or two of his choice. He's also been quite the smoker for the greater majority his life. Like me, he hadn't had much luck with the original cigarette shaped e-ciggies either, then i tried to get him to invest in an Ego EC5 when I got mine but he was hell bent on his cigarettes. And quite frankly, I know better than to argue with or try twist the arm of an old-school German. =P
Hopefully the new advances in the technology will get him to change his ways too. Pipes, cigarettes, hand rolling tobacco, it's all the same as you're essentially inhaling burning vegetation laden with pesticides, radiated fertilizers and what not all else being added.
We shall see, the fact that it's a gift should persuade him. He may be stubborn but he's sentimental too so i'll gladly use that to an advantage if it means achieving good health!
@StevoStevo a good son helping dad is a wonderful thing and I hope you succeed. You'll need a ejuice he enjoys to be successful. Might I suggest an ry4 tobacco flavor, it seems to hit a chord w/ long time smokers. Once again, luck to ya'.
It's much appreciated! And thanks a bunch for the Winner award! =]] .. I have heard only good things about RY4, unfortunately SkyBlue were all out at the time of my order. I know he enjoys his chocolate so i basically got Double-Chocolate and Fudge-Brownie for him. I don't have much of a sweet tooth myself, more of a fruity, spearmint, coffee, nuts or slight hints of menthol guy but figured I'd give the sweets a try too. I recon RY4 with about 2% menthol should be just perfect for him as his second choice of smokes is Stuyvesant menthol, first being Camel, not sure which tho. Your suggestion is however most certainly considered. It'll be in the next order for sure!

@StevoStevo I use ry4 (4.5ml.) Menthol (1.5ml.) pg.-vg.(50%-50%) for a30ml. bottle. I love this recipe, my A.D.V.
Hi Guys and Girls. One thing I have learned and can relate to is that 90 percent of us vapers has started out with a twisp, then the website (ecigssa) then something decent. So thank you twisp for helping us make the right choice.
Hey guys & girls, my name is Miroslav and I am from P.E and been on the site for a while, mostly just browsing. Only started posting today. Been vaping a good couple of months and mostly do DIY juices. Go through way to much juice to keep buying juices. All ready had some great experiences from the community especially from Kieran and also the people over at Skyblue.
Most welcome. Looking forward to see your contributions. Happy vaping.
Welcome @lobo and @Tricky DIY is so important to me as a vaper.I agree I could never afford the juice I'm making for Pennies on the dollar. I'm so lucky to have hit on a recipe I love. Good luck to you both.
Good day Ladies and Gents, I thought it a good idea to introduce myself. My name is Claude and I am from sunny (well not at the moment) Cape Town.
I've been vaping for about 2 years now. Started with Twisp, and quickly moved through a bajillion devices to try and find that perfect vape. I have recently realised there is no thing and that I will just have to settle with upgrading every once in a while to keep getting more out of it.
I stumbled across the site in my search for vaping goods in Cape Town and have been creeper stalking threads for a while now. I will be active to semi active as work takes up like 90% of my time.
Still looking for the perfect nickel build on my device so if anyone here is a pro builder let me know and I would appreciate any assistance with that.
More than this, see you in the clouds.
