Well sorry, it does sound like a good device but 99gbp is WAY out of my price range. That's more than the Sedansa Diva! And no warranty. Even in my two-job days I couldn't justify that to myself.

But if you change your mind, you know where to find me.

love u dude.. we do seem to have different views dont we.. if u see "vehemence" in what i said it wasnt intended..

as for it being more expensive than your sedansa diva.. why not.. its better than your sedansa diva.. he he..

Lighting can really mess with the vapor demos. Sometimes I blow 4 point vapor, and on video all you see is a thin wisp.

My Johnsons Creek retest video has a great example, where I'm in front of Mike's cage, and it looks like I'm not blowing anything, until it hit a light beam and suddenly the camera is blocked by smoke.

excellent stuff, today I have ran out of baccy and have seen for the first time how ineffective for a heavy roll up smoker the super mini is.

I have gotten to the stage where I am part charging each battery before the other one im currently using runs out just to get a nicotine hit...although I am only on 18mg liquid at the moment, got some 36 coming so hopefully that will hit the spot.

we did cheat a bit with the pic.. poor light and the camera flash makes the smoke look a little more awesome than it would look in daylight.. we dont wanna choke folks to death.. he he he..

far as im concerned the closer it gets to choking the better the toke lol

seriously though with that increased power battery and ability to swap it out, and of course the infamous piccy i cant wait to get my grubby little nicotine addled hands on that screwdriver.

Ill drop an email or repost on here when im ready to order.

cheers.

i'm toying with the idea.

a little more self persuation should do the trick

**leaford** · 10-15-2008, 11:19 PM

Well I'll have to be skeptical about that. Now when you have them fitted for penstyle atomizers, I could put a Sedansa or Janty att on, and THAT I could see being better. But even with a big battery a 901 is still a 901.

i'm sure these cost quite a bit to be making, especially in low quantities and with the time involved.

whats the body and collar made of Trog ?

looking at the finish it looks like stainless but that's a bugger to work with .

I'm guessing its polished aluminium ?

I hope 901's don't need a new battery every week - or even a fortnight - though it's clear these things have a regular maintenance cost. If Trog's device reduces this cost then the 99 quid wouldn't put me off. That the review also points to Trog delivering a decent current to the atomizer is also progress.

With 3 devices on order but none yet delivered I'm going to resist the temptation to make another order. My reluctance isn't only the fear of putting my card in a bank machine only to be told "insufficient funds" (it happened to a mate of mine at work - he phoned the bank to ask whether it was his account or theirs!).

As to yet to be converted e-smoker the Screwdriver presents a couple of questions.

1. The better power delivery could fry atomizers more quickly. Like Trog, I'm awaiting the mini from .......... that has disposable atomizers (though - there seem to be supply problems with .......... - for around a month now). When/if Trog gets these disposables there could be a significant improvement to the Screwdriver - but wonder how that might raise running costs. Cost though would be less of an issue if it led to a device you could rely on. I hope Trog gets his delivery soon.
2. The shape of the Screwdriver seems to suggest a smoking habit that cups the device in your hand - more akin to a pipe smoker. In moving to e-smoking I'll stage my changes - pipes never did anything for me apart from giving me a mouthful of tar.

its polished aluminium.. they look sweet and feel solid and chunky..

we can make them to tale classic atomizers leaford it messes up the styling thow..

we have a smaller battery one we are gonna make some of next week.. a bit cheaper.. not so bloody fiddly to make..

it might be called the techno cigar or perhaps the techno stik we aint made our minds up yet.. it will take a classic atomizer.. powered by a 400 mah cigar battery..

they do take time to make rusty.. we aint chinese.. he he

Hello Trog.

I would like to be a free tester .he.he.

I could provide the publicity of a full convert from real cig's if the batteries would last long enough. he.he.

But I don't think I could do a review like Leaford or Ratindahat.

Thanks for the help on charging batteries.
Hope all goes well with (The Screwdriver)
