More and more cases seem to be getting posted on a number of forums.
One retailer has stated he has had 40% of all sales returned.Through one fault or another.Not just the combustion issues.
The main problem seems to be over the glue used,there are two used, an Amber coloured one that seems OK and a white one that when exposed to a naked flame,went on fire (a sample put in the flame of a cigarette lighter).
Another question asked,are there counterfeits on the market as when a few people have checked their codes,it states this code has already been used on ** occasions.
Definitely not good - I'd say anything up to15 cases of this problem should be enough to have them at least offer a no question return & refund. It's potentially a very dangerous fault.

That wasn't Iceland! you took the wrong turn and ended up in the zoo! :laugh:

oh ....do you have spiders in there ...or worse! :blink:

The Inawerashop one used to sell Inawera ...but for some reason they dropped it and started stocking the Molinberry. I read through the thread on the Molinberry ones.

I got the Sure Bert from Nicoticket - amazing flavour, and very powerful even as a ready to use, but I found the lime to much and had to stop using it ...lime is one of the flavours I can't use. Sadly, so is the apple in their Band Camp, and that's terrific - the worst part is, both were in Max VG! I bought around 100ml of each too. I think I may try the Band Camp at around 20% with custard to see if I can use that. Both have such good flavouring I'm sure they'll dilute well.
I've heard that vanilla (Frenilla for instance) would be good to dilute the Sure Bert (rainbow sherbet) with.
I've read Penguiness at NT's forum here explain how to dilute with plain VG or PG successfully - think it's a case of re-steeping and shaking the bottle thoroughly often. If I can find it I'll post a link to it. EDIT- found it: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...out-bag-sticky-situation-13.html#post14754821

Yes, search 'authentic Kanger' at FT and a fair few coils and tanks etc. come up. I've had a few items.

Duh! I like my bacon just crispy at the edges ...like fried eggs :) ...and now, I'm hungry - and I had bacon & egg sandwiches for lunch today too! :faceplam:

holes? why, does it need to breathe? :unsure:

Seriously though, can't say I'm happy about the possibility. May be rare, but I'm really careful.

Yes vent holes trish ! If the worst did happen at least it would be contained in the tin and burn itself out. You can also buy charging bags, which are in effect the same thing, and you could keep your cloupor in that when not in use :)

These Trisha !

Just had to send Royal Fail another stinker of a complaint: KF4 from US (the Tobeco one) was showing as delivered 06:55 24/01 which of course is rubbish, so contacted by phone CS and lady re-arranged delivery for today and gave me a ref #, guess what, it didn't arrive, so phoned CS again, another lady, said ref # was not correct, and that I should contact the sender - well was about to do this when I remembered that the Delivery Office is open until 20:00 today, so walked round to them, and asked them to check if there was anything for me, showed them proof of my name and hey presto 2 parcels appear, the above Tobeco and the Infinite KF & Kuro coilers from FT, which was still showing as being at Heathrow since 23/01 - no way have they attempted to deliver these, we have 24/7 occupancy...:mad::mad::mad:

PS to Ian seeing as I have my coilers in my hands 2 days after you and yours were shipped 3 days before mine, we'll call it a draw :laugh:
They are definitely better quality, heavier and bigger in diameter to the Coil Master, which gives a better feel to them. Will give them a go tomorrow morning when I do the 2 KF4s, think I'll start with the Tobeco which included a spare spring but no o-rings, screws, diagram leaflet)

The Infinite KF4 includes o-rings, screws and the diagram leaflet but no spare spring

Innokin itaste MVP 3 on vapor hut £50,don't know if that's a good price

Think in that video I posted they quoted it would be under $100, so yes think it probably is a good price.

EDIT: Just pre-ordered on the strength of Phil's video and I see they are on your doorstep George

My rant for the day..
Why do politicians from all over the world turn there nose up at vaping? Trying their hardest to ban it and tax it all over the world.
Yet in England go to the doctors and they give you free prescriptions to take anti smoking pills, patches or gum. And the news tonight a trial in Scotland was successful in paying pregnant women to pack in smoking while pregnant. Yes paying them. 600 women took part and were given £50 shopping vouching at the start. If they proved to be still off the fags at 4 weeks, another £50 voucher, again at 12 weeks a £100 voucher and when they gave birth another £200 voucher.
That's right £400 to pack in smoking for 40 weeks but us they want to penalise anyway possible.

Bob and Terry.
Was reading today the KF4 doesn't like Ni builds.Can't re-find the page now.
But it would be interesting to know if you try a build tomorrow Bob.
Did you ask down the S.O if they had your Sig aswell? Royalfail seem to be getting progressively worse.

Yes, saw that it was on AAEC in the Evolve DNA40......first looks thread, problem with the spring causing a mis-read of resistance, I'll stick with using the normal KFs and Lemo on them.

And talking of DNA40 my Vapor Flask has landed 6 days after ordering, just hope local office pull their finger out this time as it might get there on Friday or Saturday:

Yes, I voted NO on the itv.com/news page and put out a comment that maybe they should give them a decent e-cig set-up instead, on the early evening news there was a lass who said she still wouldn't give up if they offered her the money, but I wonder if she would if she tried vaping (mind you she'd probably be one of those that blew her battery up :()

Thanks! My initial thought was why should I throw more money at this potentially dangerous object ...but common sense tells me it's a small price to pay :)

I hadn't heard about that - what a stupid notion. A relatively low-cost starter kit would quite likely have as good, if not better, success rate. The cynical side of me wonders if these women were tested for nicotine before being given a further voucher.
To me it seems as poorly thought out as the recent announcement of 2.2bn for gastric band operations to tackle the obesity problem ...never mind that people are denied life saving drugs due to NHS budget cuts!
The food industry would be a better place to start - but if they allowed tobacco companies to put all manner of harmful things into cigarettes, why would they want to regulate food manufacture!

There have been numerous studies and articles regarding e-cigs published in many forms, including The Lancet. Studies and research carried out by eminent professionals, who have probably always been amongst the loudest voices in the anti-smoking campaigns. The conclusions have all been positive - yet still we have non-professionals such as government trying to control and belittle it. Why is it not enough that those who are qualified to do so can proclaim e-cigs a good thing ...likely because those who are thus qualified have no affiliation to the big tobacco companies, have no control over taxation, and as such do not have any financial gain to consider.

Given time, I can't help wondering if the savings to the NHS would balance the loss of tax revenue from cigarettes. It will take time for e-cigs to prove themselves a healthier replacement, but unless some as yet hidden ill effect suddenly manifests amongst us e-cig users, it can only be a good thing.
Users of e-cigs need to be seen, and their effectiveness understood by far more people. For the time being, they're far safer, and far more effective than alternative cessation products.

Politics and big business mesh in ways most people will never totally understand, and quite likely in many ways that people would find unacceptable: to put it bluntly, corruption.

I'm living proof that even the determined not to even try giving up, can and do stop smoking!
Anyone here for a number of months will know that I gave up virtually by accident.
And look how long ago that was :)

That is by far too sensible a post Trish, politicians dont do logic unless it ends with their snouts in the trough
give it a few months for them to get their money ploughed in and cover their tracks ( a la Royal Mail selloff )
