    Aspire 18650?

    Personally, I'll never buy an ICR for vaping. Each to their own though ;)

    SMY Briefcase?

    I got one a couple of days ago on a group buy. It is a litle on the large side, but it does do what it says. Only complaint I have is the loose fitting battery cover - more an annoyance than a problem. It doesn't fall off, just slides a little.

    Smok xPro M65 - Weird Voltage Increase/Drop

    I consider it normal these days. When I first saw it I thought it was some kind of preheat and left it at that. Now, however, I believe it is a 'live' reading that changes as the regulation adapts to the changing resistance of the coil as it heats and cools. I'm not naive enough to watch...

    iStick 50W vs. Xpro M80

    The TC issue hasn't been fixed with this latest M80. The ramp-up time has been improved but it still will not control the temperature. Having said that I have to agree with the general consensus, for the price the M80 is a cracking 80Watt mod.

    Smok Xpro problems and fix..?

    When I first got my M65 I removed the topcap to swap the fire button (it was held in with a clip). I don't know if mine had the fault to start with but only once has the watts dropped by themselves. This was with a genuine VTC5. Not a single drop so far with an LG HE4 vaping at 45Watts with a...

    Smok xPro M50 Mini Box Mod

    Yh, I found the hard button to have a little rattle, and made the button click rather loud. The soft button is just so quiet it takes a little getting used to. Horses for courses. I still feel the click though so no need to get OCD on the display to know it's firing.

    Smok xPro M50 Mini Box Mod

    For those wanting to change the button, or already have - pay attention. The button is attached with a metal clip inside the case. If you just prise the old button off you leave that clip floating about, risking a short on the board. So: Remove the battery, duh!! Unscrew the top and push it to...

    How far down you vape the batt with a mech?

    Usually around 3.6-3.7volts, always swap them when I refill the tank. Only once have I gone as low as 3.4volts.

    codes on the side of batteries???

    Who said they don't make one. I've just checked a few authorized vendors over here and they do list an 18500 1100mAh. Check it out here: AW Batteries - Authorised Dealers That'll tell you if it's fake or not. AW make 18350, 18490, 18500 and of course 18650, as well as other form factors.

    Nitecore D2 Digicharger

    No I'm not. What I'm saying is the voltage you're seeing on the charger is the voltage needed to pass 375/750mA through the battery to charge it. Once the battery is fully charged you can make comparisons. It's good that you know how to use a DMM, and that by comparison your inline meter and...

    Nitecore D2 Digicharger

    I really don't think it is faulty. Your method is wrong. It's reading higher on the charger for the reasons I've already stated above. If it wasn't higher it wouldn't charge the batteries at all.

    Nitecore D2 Digicharger

    I feel the voltage is higher on the charger as it's either passing a test current to identify the battery and charge level, or it's actually charging. Better to wait for the charge to complete before comparing.

    batteries and chargers

    Also depends on how often you charge them. For the VTC4s Sony quoted and average 300 cycles, but I can't find this information for the VTC5s. Worst case scenario you'll notice a drop in performance after 300 cycles, as long as you adhere to the advice given in the other replies. You'll be hard...

    Nitecore D2 Digicharger

    It's normal. My D4 charges to 4.16 volts, but this soon drops to 4.12/4.13 when sat a few minutes. Your previous charger was actually overcharging. The specification is 4.2V, but for safety manufacturers like nightcore like to cut the charging slightly short to protect the batteries, rather...

    Aspire Nautilus

    Got me puzzled now. I dry burn all my nautili heads between flavours without issue. They're silica wicked. Also I don't understand why peeps are still using the BDC coils. Switch to BVCs guys, give your nautilus a new life.

    Can this be real?

    It's real, I've had 50 10ml bottles. Also 10 30ml bottles is/was the same price. Tamperproof ring can't be counted on though, the bottle itself is too soft for it to lock. Very good, soft, squeezy bottles though.

    GOOGLE MAPS: ALL UK B&M's

    Good to see the good forum's name in other places ain't it Chrissie? It's a good map, kept up to date by AAEC staff and members. Still doesn't make up for the lack of B+Ms near me tho

    Aspire Nautilus question

    Quick tip from me, if the base seems stuck. Try tightening the top a little. Because of the threading only a small movement of the top and it'll release the base slightly. And then be careful putting it back together, but I'm sure you know this now.
