First qualified in 1996 and since dived all round the world. Maldives (a "must" every year), the Red Sea (another annual "must"), Galapagos, Palau, Chuc (Truc), and many Caribean islands. Smoked from 16 for 40 years and I am/was one of the "lucky" ones it never seemed to affect and it certainly...

I was looking into this idea of using a pressure/juice supply a couple of months ago and posted my findings. The main problem (long before the practical engineering phase) allways came back to finding a suitable safe propellant to mix with the juice. To provide reliable pressure to dispence say...

I use generic 901 atomisers in my 3.7v 2400mAh Li-ion mods. My favourite juice is a home brew of 36mg TW tobacco taken down with glycerine, vodca and coffee extract made from expresso granules dissolved in the vodca. The whole 150ml mix has 4 split vanilla pods soaking in it at all times. There...

My local chemist obtained mine. It is full British Pharmaceutical Grade (and E.U. grade). I paid £6.50 for a 500ml bottle and it is made by a firm who supply BP grade chemicals for the pharmacy trade.

500KV makes a very good point all modders should head. Minimal wire runs and as heavy duty multistrand wire as practical are the way to reduce resistance. Couple that to a really big capacity Li-ion battery (I now use 2,400mAh) and 3.7 volts will give you all the vapour you will ever need...

A few more close up pictures of the internal chasis and a final shot of the three interchangeable metalflake alloy body's in silver, blue and gold. The metal tape wrapped arround the top and rear of the plastic chasis acts to both prevent any internal movement at the same time as allowing easy...

I will have a go at the extensive parts list. B&Q (DIY supermarket) 25mm od (1") light alluminium TV ariel mounting tube (electrical section) 21mm od plastic overflow pipe (plumbing section) 25mm steel washers (hardware section) Pipe cutter (plumbing section) Maplins (Radio Shack)...

Over the last six weeks I have made a series of big battery capacity tube mods inspired by both the Screwdriver and the Magnum. Picture 1 shows the three finished models, each of which (from left to right) has ever advancing features in terms of battery type, electrics, serviceability and...

Many thank's Billyboy.......the monsters arrived in the post today and are even now on their initial charge up. The charger feeds at 1 amp (4.2v) and the batts do get warm!! I am going ahead with an in situ set up so will keep you informed (if not blown up!!).

Just taken delivery of a pair of TrusFire 18650 2400mAh 3.7v Li-ion batts which I intend to use (one each) in two 3.6/3.7v Magnum clones replacing the current triple NiMh power packs.The current units are charged "in situ" via a DC power socket in the base of each mod.My question-has anyone ran...

I have been making my own cofee flavour for some time. I add instant granules of expresso cofee (2 good teaspoons) to 20ml of neat standard strength vodca in a small tubular bottle.Shake well and leave for several days shaking well when ever I remember.After a couple of days put the bottle in...

Another week down the line and for the first time in months I am still using the same atomiser. My mods all run at 3.6/3.7 volts high capacity and I "burn off" a couple of times a day using short bursts to red heat untill the coil is clear of build up and white/grey in colour with all the coils...

Yet another week of atomiser failures (2) finally led me to take action and try an experiment I have been thinking about for a couple of weeks. 901 atomizer on a L-ion 3.7volt 1200mAh juice box-manual switch Juice-9mg made up from 25% 36mg TW Tobacco, 60% Boots VG BP, 15% vodca. Juice has 4...

Yes-I believe there is a market for a "luxury" e-cig that will have the following features; In place charging high capacity L-ion/Hybrid battery pack that will give one full days heavy use and then re-charges overnight in a cradle (like a cordless phone).No need to unscrew/take out battery(s)...

Must admit to being puzzled by your experience with 3 AAA alkalines. Certainly a 3 pack of Duracell Ultra's will run a 901 atty a good day of heavy vaping and produce plenty of vapour. Three times 1,000mAh NiMh batteries (3.6v) will perform at least as well if not better/longer than 3.7 volt...
