    Extending cartridge life.

    I’m using a Janty Kissbox, but this should work with all cartridges, I’m a heavy vapour and top up my cartridges frequently. I find that after 4 days the top of the filler is going distinctly brown, it absorbs less top-up, and gives less vapour. I’m sure this happens to everyone. I’ve tried...

    Otoscope

    In another thread, there was talk of examining your atomiser, without dismantling it, by using a magnifying glass and a light. This is very difficult to do. The answer is to buy an otoscope (the instrument a doctor uses to look inside your ear). They aren't expensive and give an excellent view...

    Menthol Overdose?

    I’ve just made a batch of Menthol/Glycerin to cut TW Menthol 36mg down to 18mg without loss of ‘Menthol hit’. Specifically, the volume of Menthol crystals was roughly the same as the volume of two garden peas and I dissolved it in 30ml of Glycerin. Dripping this (just the glycerine/menthol...

    Kissbox Pass-through Battery Question

    Just after Christmas I bought a Janty Extended Classic Kissbox and am generally delighted with it. Until yesterday, I have only used the rechargeable batteries but yesterday I tried out the USB pass-through. I am only getting about half the vapour from it than I get from the rechargables. I...

    Toxic Heavy Metals in e-liquid?

    You may need a magnifying glass, but take a close look at the ingredients on a bottle of a very well known e-liquid brand. I won’t name it, but a hint would be to say it has a red label. The second ingredient on my bottle reads “Tobacco lead oil <5%”. Okay, I know that’s a Chinese typo and it...

    Fundamental Battery Question

    How do I measure the voltage of my battery? I’m using simple Janty Kissbox batteries and I want to determine their voltage when fully charged. In my simple way, I guess I need to put the two electrodes of my voltmeter to two separate parts of the battery. But I’m damned if I can find two...

    Just unlucky?

    I’ve never been lucky: If I buy Kentucky Fried Chicken, I get none of those succulent breasts – just the *rs*h*l*s! I fear that this misfortune is following me into the e-cig world. My new Janty Classic Kissbox is the latest example. I was mega-impressed by it for the first week, and then...

    Am I going mad?

    I started with a super mini (disappointed), then went on to the 901 (much happier) and am now on the Janty Classic Kissbox (delighted). As you can imagine, this involved a lot of surfing and saving links. When I ordered my Janty, I deliberately didn’t order any extras – waiting to see if it...

    Making use of the hole (I think)

    I guess this really ought to go in ‘Tips & Tricks’, but I lack the permission, so it’s here instead. I’m a newb who’s smoked 40+ conventional fags a day for half a century, but not a single one since I discovered e-cigs about a month ago. I feel the need to get as ‘good a hit’ as possible for...
