1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Gin seems to work ok. Put my first cleaned coil in a couple of hours ago. maybe took a minute or two more vaping than a new coil to get the flavour to come out, but fine right now. I'll see how long it lasts, then decide if it's worth it, since new coils are pretty cheap. But a bag of cleaned coils will be a fallback if ever a shipment doesn't make it through.

    'took a minute or two more vaping than a new coil to get the flavour to come out,'

    Did you 'prime' the coil - put several drops of the juice on the cotton before assembling the unit and after filling the tank leave it for a couple of minutes.

    Also, maybe better to leave the coil to dry from the alcohol for a day or more

    Yep, did all that. The square Kanger coils with big funnel shaped juice holes are the best I've seen for priming. Fill one hole and leave hole side up til soaked in. Same other side, then repeat as necessary.
    No sticky fingers. No need to squirt into the top hole. Before that, it was dried out for several days until the coil I was using started to go off.
    Coil doing ok, and I seem to vape a lot. I spend too much time sitting 'cos I can't walk very well, and I get about three hours from a 2500 MaH battery, MTL at around 12.5 watts!
