    P4Y iPV D2 Question please.

    I've had this mod for about 3 weeks now and have been using it almost exclusively since I got it. Today I was using it in power mode with a battery that was about half full. One minute I was puffing happily and the next minute I wasn't getting anything. I thought the battery might have gone...

    WOW - look at this coming out of the UK!!

    Have they finally started to see the light? Quotable quotes from the article: The health body concluded that, on “the best estimate so far”, e-cigarettes are about 95% less harmful than tobacco cigarettes There was no suggestion that the products were a gateway into tobacco smoking, with...

    I guess I'm going to have to die sooner than I thought.

    I'm talking about e-liquid. The first DIY I made was something I came up with myself, using the few flavours I had on hand - watermelon, peach, pina colada, vanilla custard. It had a smooth, rounded, creamy taste that was/(is?) so refreshing it had me going back to it time and again. It became...

    EU Austrian court snuffs out planned e-cigarette restriction

    " The government had proposed that sales of e-cigarettes be limited to the Alpine republic's licensed tobacconists from October to protect young people and for public health reasons. Specialist sellers of e-cigarettes objected because they would have been allowed only to sell re-usable devices...

    Shield Cig Mini 40W TC Temperature Control

    It's all in the title. Does anyone know anything about this? It looks like it is comparable to the iStick 40 with one added aspect I was looking for - the interchangeable 18650. My style of vaping is closer to tootle puffing than high wattage cloud chasing. Also I like small , lightweight...

    Eleaf Mystery.

    Facts: 1. I have 1 iStick 20 and 1 iStick 50 2. I have an ohm meter and several other mech mods 3. I have a Lemo II Now for the past week the iSticks and the Lemo seem to have developed an antipathy for each other. The Lemo will give a reading on the ohm meter and will fire on the mech mods...

    EU And to think that Norway is not even part of the EU!!

    I just received this document in email this morning. It talks of the far reaching consequences of anti-vaping legislation in Norway - modelled on the EU TPD..... when Norway isn't even part of the EU! Just imagine what it will be like for the rest of us. The current situation facing...

    A possibility or just a wild guess

    I'm noticing signs of slight humidity on the inside of the screens on my iSticks - 20 and 50. They're like very tiny drops of liquid or a bit of hazy condensation. Now I've had the 50 for 3 and a half months (the 20 is slightly newer) and it never had any of this humidity before. The appearance...

    Silicon o rings for Lemo 2

    I went and did it today - my mod took a tumble and the glass on the Lemo 2 got smashed. Thankfully I had thought ahead and did have spare glass but in taking out the glass, the one of the silicon o rings tore. I had a couple of spare o rings that came with the original purchase but now I am...

    Interesting video about batteries.

    I thought some people might find this interesting.

    One last battery question - hope this WILL be the last.

    I'm thinking of storing some batteries long term. I have the plastic boxes and I know all about keeping them in a cool place. So we will skip that part of the equation. My question is more about voltage and battery capacity. I've read just about everywhere that batteries are best stored at...

    Strange

    I seem to have a tiny drop of condensation surrounded by perhaps 2mm of blurring on the inside of the glass covering the screen of my iStick 20. I wonder what that is all about and how it happened.

    2 quick questions

    1. For some reason the screw on the bottom switch of my mods have all become loose so that with the locking and unlocking action they become almost undone making the switch wonky. I have to undo the switch every so often to fix it. Is there a way to make them tighter permanently? 2. Some...

    Great way to start a Sunday morning - not!

    No, no explosions this time - although it seems Sundays are my unlucky days! I don't know whether you read my post the other day about an email I received from a flavour vendor in the UK telling me their servers had been compromised for about an hour on the 26th. I don't know whether what...

    Genuine or a marketing ploy?

    I have just received an email from a well known flavour supplier in the UK (that shall remain unnamed) telling its customers that they had a security breach today and for about an hour the names and addresses of some of their clients were visible. They said they estimate this only effected...

    Slowly but surely the vapocalypse approacheth!I

    I have just now received this email from Green Smokes. Not that i care for Green Smokes anymore (though I must admit they were what got my off cigs in the first place) but this is definitely the shape of things to come.... very shortly.... at least here in Malta. Now perhaps you will better...

    Remind me, how low can I go?

    I know some people here have some time back told me time back how low a battery can safely go before it is put on recharge. But please save me the trouble of going through all my posts.... just give me a number, pretty please with sugar on top.

    Tarnished battery tops.

    I've noticed that the flat top of one of my EFEST 18650 seems to be tarnishing - looks kind of brownish. It is the one I've had for longest and probably the one that has most hours on it. What does that mean exactly? Does it reduce performance? Should I clean it? If yes, how?
