You would be better stocking up on mods that take removable batteries, those with the built in Li-ion ones need to be stored with a half full battery, then topped up at least every three-six months, whereas normal 18650 batteries can be bought any time as they are also used in other things [RC Boys toys].

Didn't know that! So, all the iSticks etc. that I have stored will have to be topped up every 6 months ..oh well, suppose I'll just have to do that.
I'm very happy with my Sigelei mini, so may get more of those, and the Kanger is OK too. Wonder if there's any of the cylindrical types (like the iPOW etc.) that have a removable battery. As well as the 10W iStick, I like those for taking out with me.
18650 batteries aren't purely for e-cig mods though are they - or do I need a stash of those too?

Sold my two Kangxin flasks today.
So decided to look more into an original,think i'll be waiting for this....

Do what I have done and pre-order the VS one off UKeCS, or get the Waidea one from Focal, it's much better than the Kangxins.

I want an original Bob.
And Vaporflask have a new model in the pipeline, according to PBursados site,with the Yihi sx350J chipset.
Nothing against the Kangxins but that battery life didn't add upto me,from twin 18650's???Always seemed on the charger and not in the mod.

Iv'e ordered a VT 40 today,so i'll have the large screen dna40(reviews on them are very good)

you didn't read my message properly, especially the last sentence As for the iPow, presume that is a slim one like the Spinner, most of the tube style take 18xxx type batteries so would have to be at least 18mm+thickness of steel diameter:

18650/18500/18350 the 18 is diameter (mm) next 2 numbers are the height and final 0 means it's round, if that's okay then look at the Vamo on FT if they still have them.

VapoorFlask originals are almost double the price of VaporSharks and I bet the 350J will be dearer, even though the board is probably cheaper than the Evolve one.

EDIT - who from, I ordered a blue one from Vape Geek, hopefully arriving tomorrow as I went for RMSD

was tempted to get the grey , they haven't had time to fix Phil's gripe though about the screen not being centred, unless his one was a dodgy one

Saw that Bob,but Todd reckons it's bang on.He loved the mod.

Only to just over half full

Didn't see Todd's review - I have the Hcigar HB DNA40 which I got in the classies and it's a good mods as well.

Ah, the joys of puppies!
You'll be happy as a pig in clarts then! Happy new puppy!

Hope you like it!

I had forgot how much hard work they can be Trisha I`m really enjoying the band camp, lovely juicy apple followed by a nice buttery pastry. Yum.

Is it another Staffy Terry?

Yes George, staffy`s all the way for me. She`s great, only picked her up yesterday ( 8 weeks young ) and she is eating like a horse, ...... and crapping everywhere
Something we will just have to put up with for a few weeks, till she has had all her jabs, then the toilet training can begin in earnest.

Here she is George, and her name is Maya, named after Buddha`s mother Nah, cos she was born in may !

 

[terry w]

Oh, i almost forgot, my Zero has now shipped. Hope it`s better than the last one they sent me.

 

[Brynglas]

Here she is George, and her name is Maya

She's cute mate
My sister has a staffy.

Worth a read re Diacetyl & AP : Testing Times for Eliquid | Planet of the Vapes

Less than 2 minutes in was shocking enough! .....it gets worse! Haven't listened to it all though.
So sad that this wasn't acknowledged and dealt with far sooner - it's only given more ammunition to those who want to ban or greatly restrict it.

That update on the TPS site FA section was written in 2010 FlavorWorkshopCustard - so the ground work was under way even then.
I only found it because I had problems with some of the custard/vanilla's early last year, but plenty of others must have seen it and been aware of the potential problems. That company have been working to replace or eliminate certain flavours ever since. Others have followed, but obviously not enough of them.

Good!

You're right - I was mostly seeing the fact that those such as the iStick need battery maintenance.

As for the iPow, presume that is a slim one like the Spinner, most of the tube style take 18xxx type batteries so would have to be at least 18mm+thickness of steel diameter:

18650/18500/18350 the 18 is diameter (mm) next 2 numbers are the height and final 0 means it's round, if that's okay then look at the Vamo on FT if they still have them.

The iPOW is around 18mm diameter, but you can't replace the battery.
Seems to be plenty of Vamo's at FT ...are they OK?

And Labour wonder why no one likes them any more - bunch of twits

I have a couple, the first a v3 wasn't too good, but the 2nd a v5 was better, I don't use mine now, so if it comes to it, you could always have them, just mentioned them on FT so you could see them.
