Not really, 3 to look for: Sony VTC4 or VTC5 (both 30amp) and the new Green Efest 50amp, if you see any of them from a reputable ecig vendor then grab one or two.

OK, thanks Bob! I'll make a note of those!
Just looking at that Hana ..is that button on the side uncomfortable to use?

So with a bit of luck you should get them by the end of the month - just watching the Beeb "Charlie and Boots" Paul Hogan looking very weathered, and that was made about 5 years ago, I recognised the voice before him.

Yes! Hopefully.
I just watched/heard the news/press preview.

Threw caution to the wind and ordered 30ml of the Lemon Coconut Cream Cake ..it's really nice! Not quite hitting the heights the QOP did, but not far off for that lovely cream & cake! Used half the small bottle already, and considering my breathing is a bit fragile still after last weekends problems, it's been fine!

I may try adding the QOP by a small percentage to something like confusion and see if a diluted amount works OK for me.

Sony US 18650 VTC4 2100mAh battery

Sony US 18650 VTC4 2100mAh battery

They're the ones. good find.

The button on the Hana, I have the Cloupor Cana, which is similar, found it to be a bit tiny and it dug into my finger/thumb, but admit I don't notice it now.

With regards to a hana dna30 clone those green efests are 26650 size so unfortunately won't fit and also (more importantly) are only 20A continuous.

So many batteries now have the pulse limit listed as the more important number instead of the continuous amp limit. It's an awful idea I think.

In addition to the VTC4 or VTC5 (good look finding VTC5s!) that Bob mentioned, the Purple Efest 2100mAh 30A is also a good battery, as it just a rewrapped VTC4.

Stay away from the 35A or 20A rated purple Efests though, they are actually only 20A and 4 - 6.4A respectively.

Torchy the battery boy (as Bob has also pointed out before): big_f_d_d | eBay

is another good place to look for batteries. He usually has the 30A purple efests in stock and also sometimes has his own "Torchy" branded 30A batteries (I couldn't work out what they actually were, didn't look like VTC4s on the graphs he provides).

Just be careful he stocks quite a range of batteries and not all will be ideal for vaping use. Of course depending on what kind of vaping you're going to be doing you may not need a 30A battery anyway.

edit: also check whether your mod needs button top or flat top batteries. Some box mods only take flat tops comfortably I believe.

Also having a look through new products on FT came across this beauty:

$2.28 Mushroom Shape ABS 510 Drip Tip - 26.5mm / translucent blue at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

They come in several different colours as well.

Seriously though am very tempted by this:

$10.19 Little Boy Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel + POM / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

and the Squape reloaded clone: $24.70 SQ-uape Reloaded Style Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 5.2ml / stainless steel + glass tank / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Bob, they have confirmed that the glass tank section is held in by o-rings.

Didn't know if they were going to be bringing out 18xxx versions as well, also didn't realise they were only 20amp continuous, so best to forget those.

So many batteries now have the pulse limit listed as the more important number instead of the continuous amp limit. It's an awful idea I think.

Annoying isn't it, this is the sort of thing that needs regulating so that there is a standard

Stay away from the 35A or 20A rated purple Efests though, they are actually only 20A and 4 - 6.4A respectively.

Didn't know about the 2100mAh Efests, the others I only use in my up to 15w vw mods or mechs

Think he has been having problems getting stocks for 30A as well but yes well worth a look and if I remember right he has a presence on UKV where you can get them cheaper than on eBay, Flat tops for the Hana is best.

Bob, they have confirmed that the glass tank section is held in by o-rings.

I think most of the 2nd generation ones now have the glass and o-rings after the 1st ones were found to leak, although I saw a You Tube slide show review yesterday (pauly whatever his name is), where he got one with glass and o-rings from FT and it still leaked until he took the glass out and cleaned and juiced the o-rings before putting it back together again.

They're the ones. good find.

So definitely the right ones for this Hana? $43.56 HANA MODZ Pack DNA 30 Style Mod - 1*18650 / 7W-30W / red at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The button on the Hana, I have the Cloupor Cana, which is similar, found it to be a bit tiny and it dug into my finger/thumb, but admit I don't notice it now.

OK thanks - I found I don't like the button on the Ego cTwist, so have tried to avoid nasty little buttons since! ..looks like that one may be OK though. The hard buttons on the MVP2's gave me a bit of nerve damage in my thumb but settled down eventually.
If the button on the Hana is better than those then it'll be fine

First glance it looked like a childs night light!

Trisha, got the juice today and thanks. Wife has just posted yours now, so maybe tomorrow or saturday you should have it. Been bloody rough for the last couple of days with a dodgy tummy, and my missus has just gone to the chemist to pick some stuff up for me.

Anyways, It didn`t stop me going out to pick up some new flooring for the living room. Who`s going to be a busy boy next week.

OK, thanks for letting me know Terry.
I got my replacement Lemon Cream Cake today, and the replacement Doughnut will probably arrive tomorrow.
I ordered a 30ml bottle of the Lemon Cream Cake last night - already marked as despatched!

Hope your tum settles down ...anything to do with that big lunch you had with chips the other day?

No problem trish, I am down to the dregs with the QOP now, so i will try the lemon cream cake tomorrow. If i am honest, i have had a dodgy tummy most of my life, Don`t think it`s anything serious though and probably just my diet, as i like all things bad for you.

Not surprised about the QOP, it's really special! You'll like the Lemon Cream Cake too ...it's rather delicious!
I never tasted Chefs own LMP, and can take or leave the SG one, but all the other lemon ones they've done have been really good, and all different - definitely an area of excellence!

If i am honest, i have had a dodgy tummy most of my life, Don`t think it`s anything serious though and probably just my diet, as i like all things bad for you.

I've had IBS since my Dad died, always had a cast iron stomach until then. Found some non-prescription tablets that help calm the stomach though very well - far better than anything the doctor gave me!: Theanine Serene.

Had a tracking number from MBV last night - only showing as notified to USPS, so nothing like as fast as NT's - same method of shipping too. Seems MBV will mark despatched well before it enters the USPS system, whereas NT despatch it that day.

I have not used those "Exact" ones, but I use there pre-coiled wires all the time. I have 100 (2 packs) on the way at the moment. For the cost, it is not bad. I guess I'm just lazy.

Yes. I have used those. A bit thinly/tightly wound, but nice coils. (If I make coils, they have a larger diameter to get in more cotton wool)....

I've got about 45 of something similar, but the diameter is too small for my eyesight

Thanks for that trish, will get some tomorrow. It is really really strange that you say you had ibs since your dad died, That is when mine flared up again, after losing my dad.

I would bet money that you will have your MBV order late next week.

 

[trouble1000]

Well I'm hoping my IPV2 should be here tomorrow

It was posted today Special Delivery - so I might have a new toy tomorrow.

Trisha, talking about awkward buttons - the IPV2 has a touch sensor button. Not sure how good it is, cos I'm seeing mixed reviews about it, some love it, some hate it. It can be used with the normal firing button though. Also, are you really sure that the Hana will be right for you ?? I've ordered mine so I can go higher in wattage, ie over 15 Watts. If you're staying at lower power settings is it really worth buying one ?? I'm not trying to put you off, just thinking out loud I guess

Brynglas, I've got some of the pre-wicked coils for my ithaka mod. Like the others, I've not used those particular coils, but for that price, their worth trying.

Bob & Adam, there's that many varying reports on batteries at the moment, sometimes it's hard to sift through them all But, as long as it's a reputable source, for me, that's the most important thing. I've had quite a few batts from FT, as well as Cloud9 and some of Torchy's. They've all worked flawlessly. The only ones, I've had problems with have been the protected ones that came with my Vmod kits. Normally when I've been a bit rough with them and part of the protection board has broken away

Terry, hope you're feeling better soon mate, nothing worse than bad guts. You'll have to get better soon, so you can get that flooring laid - or are you really pulling a sicky Just kidding mate. I'll be sampling the other MBV juices very soon, so watch this space for the reviews. I've just tried the pina-colada again, to be honest, it's not really improved much - which is a shame really, cos I like pina-colada juice normally Anyway, I think the tank might be emptied to make way for another juice. Sorry mate, I really wanted to like it, but sadly it's not for me.

You won't find them in Boots Terry - I find the best price is from Theanine Serene with Relora - 60 Tablets (I haven't ordered from them yet) - or still a decent price http://www.yourhealthbasket.co.uk/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1062 (I've bought from here and it's reliable) plus it's often available on Ebay - I've bought from this one before: Theanine Serene with Relora - 60 Tabs - Source Naturals | eBay.
Wish I'd known yesterday and I could have sent you a couple to try. 2 per day works when it's troublesome, one at night is good now and then to keep it at bay. Works far better than anything the doctor prescribed or the chemist suggested - calms the system & no side effects. I think if you get troubled on and off, it's possible it's the IBS, and quite likely those tablets will help.

Something about losing a Dad - it's hard isn't it. Makes you suddenly grow up in one way, feel lost in another. Still, it makes you appreciate those you still have!
My Dad was my best friend all my life, and nothing could ever harm me as long as he was around. He was a quiet and good man who never raised his voice, but could silence fools just by altering his tone. Nothing has been quite the same since he went.

I would bet money that you will have your MBV order late next week.

I hope you're right! Glad I went ahead and ordered that coffee and cream! Did you see they aren't on the concentrates list.

No worries about the juices ian, if you don`t like any of them just chuck em out. Nah I`ll still get the floor down mate, won`t be till next week though so hopefully might have settled down by then

Cheers mate, I really did want to like it too

With the IPV2 I ordered, it was in 2 colours, black and silver. I asked if I could have a black one, but unfortunately they only had silver left. Still looking forward to my new toy though Guess I could always get a wrap for it.

Do you normally get a bad tummy when you're stressed mate, or does it just flare up on it's own ??
