Will do. I don't think that 1.2 ohm is available here at the moment but will try to source them if I have any trouble. I'm using an 0.9 ohm in the nicopod, and I'm on my 3rd pod since around 22nd of October. I burnt the first coil out very fast because I switched it on before I'd put fluid in it while I was sussing out the settings and figuring out how to use it
I just got a xros5 as a backup as I have my tank and mod which is quite big and bulky and I find it easier to have a smaller pocket sized device (using a vapresso LUXE atm) for work as I can keep it in my pocket. Figured I would get a xros 5 as it is TGA approved and my LUXE will run out of pods/coils eventually and since here is Aus we are so limited it's worth having IMO.
I have bought my own supply of PG anbd VG (I bought 5L of each) and buy the mixology salt nicotine so I can make my own, it's much cheaper and you can dial in the strength and taste (if you want to add flavour). PG and VG can be bought on ebay or in bulk, universal flavours is a good place to find flavours too if you are so inclined. I use natural menthol and have experimented with a bunch of others. I sometimes add cherry, or black current or rasberry to the menthol but you can pretty much get whatever you like FWIW. universal flavours
I go through about 100ml a month, so over the last year I have basically gone through 400mls of PG 600mls of vg, 100ml of nicotine and about 30mls of flavour (roughly $100) which is so much cheaper than over a $100 a week in tobacco.
Unfortunately 0.6 and 0.8 are the only options we have here atm, why are they problematic?
- Because they have too much heating power and the vapor can get very hot, also influencing the taste, unless the wattage can be regulated to an appropriate level
and
- I had two incidents with DIY liquid(vg/water) and 0.8 ohm coils where the atomizer produced a hot watery steam and the flavor was off. It seemed as if the water was evaporated first, destroying the flavor on the way. This simply does not happen at a lower wattage.
For 100mg nicotine boosters, 100% VG with 20mg of nicotine, I found them cheaper on this site. A pack of 10 for €7.50, which works out to €0.75 per bottle.

Ok thanks mate, will keep an eye out for that … so far so good but I only got it today. Hopefully the 1.2 coils will come into stock here at some point

Until then you have some(unspecified) wattage adjustment, at least.
