    A charging question for Di - and others

    This is what's confusing me - the supplied charger (OK, it's dead now... but when it was working) does the 3.7v batteries - apparently it also does 1.2 and 9v, but nowhere in its documentation does it mention 3v. What I'm picking up from Di is that the protection circuit on their supplied...

    Intellicig response to HM Government proposals

    or perhaps Intellicig is hoping to corner the market by being first with an MA on their juice - the hardware is not, it seems to me, under threat. Therefore they have a vested interest in Option 2 being the winner, and option 3 would continue to provide them with competition, which they would...

    A charging question for Di - and others

    Yes, but is that a safe charger for the protected 3v 16340s in the Indulgence 6v kit??

    A charging question for Di - and others

    As the dedicated charger for the 3v 16340s in the 6v kit didn't arrive, I was wondering what else anyone was using to charge them - and I recall Di mentioning a multi-voltage, multi-size charger that she was using successfully - but I can't find the thread or the reference. Can you help??

    This is all fascinating stuff, and I have to admit, I wonder what the UK's MHRA will make of it. I suspect the FDA is currently running round in circles trying to discover what else it can latch onto in e-cigs, whereas the MHRA has already hung out its placard saying what it's after - and until...

    Dr. Eissenberg, This conversation (for which I thank you) has caused me to do something today that I have not done for many months. firs, a small quote: In order to get a better handle on this - I last smoked a cigarette in May 2009 - I lit one and took three drags, timing each one. I then...

    John - they have two criteria for requiring approval - Presentation and Function, either of which is enough for them to be satisfied that approval is necessary. All they need is one test to show that there is nicotine in the mist, and they have enough to satisfy the Presentation arm of their...

    Prior to the run of coin tosses, though, you would already have hypothesised your expected outcome, and, having noted a deviation from your hypothesis that would not be explained by probability, would then examine the materials to explain that deviation? If, then (as in the coin toss) you...

    Thank you for that. Quite - and while it's not impossible to get 16 straight heads, the probability of it actually occurring is 1 in 65536 - improbable enough to make you check the coin for bias. I'm British. I suspect there's a joke in there somewhere, but it's lost on me... ;-)

    The MHRA, being a government QUANGO, will seek to dismiss the study as being flawed, irrelevant, undertaken outside the MHRA's jurisdiction or not representative of the totality of e-cig products - pick whichever one happens to fit best on the day they decide. But, if they uphold it, they...

    To take my hand saw/chain saw analogy on a stage here, what the study appears to have tested is how an experienced hand saw user would fare with a chain saw having had no training in its use and not even knowing that you have to start the engine to make it work. And perhaps even having put...

    indulgence 6 volt

    Hi Di, Well, David sent out my order for the 6v stuff, and had promised to replace the dead charger in the same shipment. Nothing. No chargers at all, not even for the 3v batteries. Not good, and since EM's shut for the mo, that makes me an unhappy bunny. Care to comment?

    That's hot-rodding, not normal usage. I do very nicely without any so-called cart mods at all. Just top off and suck... it's not hard, and it's neither brain science or rocket surgery.

    It is no different from realising that there is a difference between the way you use a hand saw and the way you use a chain saw. An electronic cigarette requires a different method of use compared to a traditional cigarette. It really is that simple. Or, if you like, compare flooring the gas...
