    Battery turning itself on

    Thanks for the tip Just4747 - I'll give that a try. What I had been doing was just giving a quick blow through which turned the switch off. The 2nd battery hasn't got this issue. I'll try your suggestion but to be honest it hasn't bothered me that much apart from making me think the e-cig has...

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

    This looks like becoming a great innovation and in one step appears to solve the 2 biggest problems with e-cigs; failing atomisers and dying batteries. The changed look doesn't bother me much - though I think Fedor's suggestions would be worthwhile. Can you put me on the order list too doc? ;)

    Battery turning itself on

    Just had 2 new batteries delivered today. I've only tried one of them but it seems to have the same problem Freddo describes. I don't think I'll return it - it doesn't happen that often but I'll certainly be keeping the battery separate when not vaping.

    U.S. Presidential Elections

    Kate - The one Green in the Assembly is about as right wing as you could get. Whether left or right - on the scale of fascism to anarchism Greens are more fascist than anarchist. The very core of their politics is the damage done by man to the environment and the need to regulate, prohibit and...

    U.S. Presidential Elections

    Actually - the "greens" (environmental) are the least anarchist in my experience. What they want is a whole swath of laws regulating behaviour, commerce and industry. Some are good, some worth thinking about and some pure daft. But - the one thing the Greens are NOT is anarchist.

    Hmmmm - then there are those "greens" and other "greens". Choices! Choices!

    U.S. Presidential Elections

    I wasn't surprised to find myself as left wing as Gandhi - but I was very surprised to be classified a near anarchist!

    U.S. Presidential Elections

    Kate - you're right, the Womens' Coalition had 2 seats in the 1st Assembly mandate. They didn't get these by the list system Scotland uses but each of them were elected by the PR system that elects 6 members in each of the 18 constituencies. Under the same system they then lost their seats -...

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Will do Bastage. It should arrive in a few days and I'll be soldering a direct connection to a USB retractable cable (as you've suggested). Apart from anything else - finding a mini host connector was difficult (only found 1 site and that only had a bare assembly). I THINK part of the...

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Bastage I just ordered this battery pack (DealExtreme: Privacy Statement) in the hope of it powering my USB mod. Are you advising that these packs don't work?

    U.S. Presidential Elections

    I’d like to post my congratulations to the USA in having elected Obama and giving evidence to its constitution. This discussion has got heated and I don’t want to participate in the cut and thrust of US politics. Interference from the outside is invariably unwelcome – whether it be the US or...

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

    A battery pack wouldn't be much of an issue for me. Sounds very interesting. I await developments with interest ...

    Longest living atomizer

    I'm using my atomisers on a one week on, one week off basis (I've 2). If one goes that gives me around a week using the other hoping a replacement arrives before the other one goes. That's my theory anyway - perhaps suffers from too much faith in logic.

    USB Mod v2 is DONE!

    Thanks vafvaf. I was thinking "what a daft thing to do" but then checked my 901 to see if the switch is contained in the battery or atomiser. It's in the battery :-(. I think I'm starting to understand that I'm spoiled with my Janty KB - though it too would benefit from Bastage's mod...

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

    Unlike you Trog - I AM concerned to get my money back - call me 'tight' but I'm not keen to write off near £100. I've written to them, no response. I've written to cancel the order, no response. No refund. Come Friday next it'll be time to inform my CC company to cancel the transaction - after...
