    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Thanks Bastage - I'm an ignoramus in regard to electricity. I've a soldering iron but I just tote it to threaten my son with internet death to stop him hogging the bandwidth. Big mistake! He's used it to wire up contraptions that I'm sure will set the house on fire! I only found out when I...

    The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem

    BTW - your f*cking off won't in any way stop me from keeping e-cig.com topical. For as long as they are taking money without delivering I'll keep posting.

    The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem

    I'm happy to be an idiot in possession of my money. Surprisingly it's these 2 that are soon parted. I'm even happy with being called a half-idiot - or half-wit, if you prefer. I did after all make an order with this company! Faux, if all you've found to post about in 6 months is on this...

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Bastage - I take it that the 5v output from a USB is OK - but it'd be 25% above 4v's. Perhaps that's why Janty but a battery box between then USB and e-cig? Sorry if my questions sound stupid. Am I frying my atomiser using a direct USB connection?

    CROWN7 HYDRO 4 Week Review!!!

    Good on you Leaford. I'd noticed the 2-week gap but hadn't looked at it as closely as you. You've no doubt helped forum members from being duped. Can't the forum post a blacklist - even a sticky post that allows members to select companies they'd not deal with? Perhaps I'm being naive - it'd...

    The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem

    Forum members should be aware that FauxPuff's posts and member responses to them are required reading. This is the only thread "falsey" posts on and if further proof be needed about unscrupulous e-cig.com practice then this is it - at least it is for me. If you're in doubt - read Faux's posts...

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Bastage - perhaps you'll not be able to answer this but surely a re-charge battery is much the same as any rechargeable battery. Is the surge limit an add-on to the battery itself - some 'buzz-box' put between the battery and output? It would help if sites selling these re-chargers published...

    Battery turning itself on

    Smoking my Janty on a cord doesn't bother me at all - when working at the computer you don't notice. What you DO notice is the lack of problems with failing power - well - kind of. The USB link on Janty passes through a battery box and when the battery dies so does the USB power - this is a...

    Super batteries?

    4 days without a charge? Am I reading this right? Edisme - are you sucking or blowing?:p

    President Obama - what does it mean for foreign affairs?

    Just a small point - Russia's plans to move missiles close to Poland's border has nothing to do with future foreign policy and everything to do with current US and NATO policy.

    The new E-MiniCig frome-cig.com looks to me identical to the Loong Totem

    Thanks for that Koala. Interesting explanation since all the carts I ordered were Marlboro. Me-thinks they'll just tell you anything.

    E-Turbo ..my new invention....

    Doc - don't let our enthusiasm undermine your need to patent. Don't apologize for getting this done. If this makes you a fortune it'll cause me no problem - getting your idea stolen would be an outrage. I fear your medical concerns might persuade you to release information too soon. Be...

    e-cig.com - RIP?

    Kathy - you're paying way too much at $50AU postage. If that's what it costs then there exists a fantastic business opportunity for you. In Aus you're closer to the Asian market that manufactures these things. Not all Asian companies are bad - but e-cig.com is certainly one to avoid.

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Thanks Bastage. I'm a little confused about your "4v 2,650 mah". Is this 3 4 volt batteries wired in series? I also don't understand your re-charging concern. I assume you're using rechargeable batteries - why not use the standard re-chargers and forget about the "zippo pack" being...

    e-cig.com - RIP?

    Trog - are you suggesting this company is hanging out for a better deal while holding on to our money? Either way - I'm fed up and consider them unscrupulous. Anybody making an order will have their money taken but receive nothing in return - nor will they get a response to emails. It's a...

    E cig spots

    I haven't experienced this problem but others on the forum have reported similar problems. To be honest - I liked Cash's reply - it made me laugh and points to the huge progress your mum has made in moving away from smoking. I hope someone here has a suggestion that solves the problem but -...

    e-cig.com - RIP?

    Just got the e-cig site up by dropping off the "www". I see they are still taking orders for the "New MiniCig" that they can't deliver. Forum members should know that orders placed for this product more than a month ago have not been delivered. I've had no response to my emails either -...

    Battery turning itself on

    S Cat - I've hardly used the KB auto switch - I'm a manual man myself ;). Others here have reported the KB auto switch to be sensitive. If you insist on keeping it assembled can I suggest you not put it in your trouser pocket 8-o.

    e-cig.com - RIP?

    Perhaps it's just my ISP but the www.e-cig.com site is appears to be dead. It has been down several times in the past week - or at least I've not been able to get to it (my ISP?). I'd be interested to know what others find - is the site up for you? Whether the site is temporarily down on or...

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Bastage - you're putting the wiring through the open end of the tube - how do you close it off? In regard to your concerns about the thin wiring on retractable USB leads - is that because you think it unsuitable for the current or is it because it's difficult get a good connection? Your...
