What about an x-ray then

I can only see one flask on ali, but it's the older fixed battery version with a USB - think I'll pass on that for now and wait for the FT one to get some reviews

Or get one from where me bob and george got them

 

[Brynglas]

Mentioned the other day they are 40 squids on myepack but not available just yet.

Only thing that puts me off slightly is the non removable battery. I wonder what it is or whether there are two in there. It's nice and big but I might prefer having a 2 x 18650.

I think it probably will be dual 18650's Adam.
When Phil stripped the original 20w it was an 18650,and i know it's not a lot to go on but the design looks right for dual 18650's

I was surprised at it's size when i opened it today Tel,even tho'Bob had said it was small.I see today they are selling them with usb now.Not that i would have used it.

This is one of my work mates. Or at least he was up until a couple of days ago

I'll be out looking for lucky pennies tomorrow

Good luck to him mate, especially with him being a red

How long have you been using it, methinks it would have done the dirty by now if it was from the faulty batch

I've had it some weeks now ..arrived 16th January, and while it hasn't been used all day every day, it has been used a fair bit.
The battery life between charges is noticeable compared to the 20W iSticks! It doesn't get hot when charging either.

It seems eleaf have actually listened to the minor gripes from the 20 watt users too Adam. Spring loaded 510 that's made of stainless steel. No overhang with larger tanks. Locking wattage control that's also faster to adjust. Plus better battery life and power delivery. I'd say it's a must have mate. I've just been waiting for the pre-delivery dates to get a bit closer before ordering

I'll certainly get one - I'm happy with them, so doubt I'll desperately want anything else for a good while.

Very lucky! The .8 would suit us! ....watch out for those pennies Ian!
Our dog often finds them when out for a walk, so next time, I'll get a ticket!

I think mine is due to ship in about 9 days. It should last about 200 charge cycles, for me that's about a years worth of use. I know you can change the lipo batteries, but for the amount of hassle, not sure if it's worth doing. But for $42 I can live with the batteries being non removable.

I hope he buys his wife a nicer shirt now he's loaded.And his choice of surroundings sucks aswell.

The City supporters at work said the same thing Must admit some of the jealous ones did pee me off a bit, moaning about the win. I say, good luck to the guy, I really hope he enjoys the money. Only knew him to say good morning to, but the guys that knew him said he was a decent bloke.

Stop trying to tempt me Terence

Good luck to him mate, especially with him being a red

Like I said, I really do hope it makes a big difference for him and his family. I did see him when he came in work to hand in his notice - 7am and he already smelled of champagne

I'll certainly get one - I'm happy with them, so doubt I'll desperately want anything else for a good while.

Only one Trisha I keep saying the same thing though - I won't need anything else for a while

You need to rub the penny on the ticket though, it won't work otherwise. I'll definitely be getting a ticket or two on Friday - see if lightning does strike twice for us bus drivers

 

[trouble1000]

I'd better get some beauty sleep now, even though I don't need it

So night all.

What What What ! Nothing wrong with that shirt sir

There's only one reason why anyone should moan about someones good fortune.
Good on the guy.Hope he has a hoot.

Yeah, i reckon bob must have hands the size of shovels I prefer to use my charger as well george, much quicker !

Good for him!

I'm saying one! ...for now
Seriously though, I have a whole set of unused genuine 20W ones to hand, and the ones I'm using have never given me any trouble, so a 30W and a 50W will be enough for me for quite some time I reckon

OK! I'll remember that - can't remember the last time we bought a ticket, but not a lot to lose anyway!

Good on the guy.Hope he has a hoot.

Yes, me too Actually, I may buy a ticket for our younger son ....he could definitely do with a windfall!

I told FT about the Earl and they say the manufacturer will want a video that I need to do to show that it doesn't work, and then upload it to Youtube!
I told them I don't have video equipment, nor do I use Youtube, and that at $22 I would just have to dispose of it if nothing can be done about it.

My iStick 30 hasn't arrived yet (I thought it would be here by now), and my GS16 & coils from VapeRus in Ireland hasn't arrived either, and that was despatched on 22nd January!

My iStick 30 should be here soon as well, it was shipped on the 19th, just need a melo then and that's released on the 27th of this month.Hows the Red Astaire steeping

 

[Bobw1951]

Not very happy with the Lemos at the moment. I don't know whether it's the vibrations from the knackered buses I drive, or the fact that I run them almost dry. But I've had 2 leak on me now. First one in my shirt pocket, second one in my work bag - even though it's kept upright. I can't even blame it on a change in altitude, cos I've not done the Huddersfield run over the tops for a while

Probably both of those won't help, but to be honest a lot of rebuildable tanks are not really suited to being out and about, I've found it better to use cheaper clearo types for going out aka the Mini Nautilus on the iStick a better combo, especially for keeping in pockets etc.

dainty little piano fingers me, I used to be able to wear women's gloves , if the batteries come out easy then charger, but if I have to mess about with screws etc to get the door off and it only has a single battery I use the USB, dual batteries always charger so that they are balance charged and position changed when re-inserted.

It's in the country, but still not arrived.
I haven't got around to trying the Red Astaire yet as I've got Avant Garde Strawberries & Cream in my 'berry tank' - mixed berries are something I need to use sparingly, so hopefully another day and I'll try it
Got some more Avant Garde Berry Crush today - nice alone or with vanilla, custard, cream etc.

I'm thinking the GS16 I ordered went down the same Irish black hole that the first iStick went down!
I do have another on order from the US and that shouldn't be far away now. I'll be interested to see how well they perform seeing everything from Eleaf has been good. They have the same capacity as a mini Nautilus or Mega MOW.

Talking about the mini Nautilus ....they've altered the BVC coils for them! Nothing on their website, but people have noticed - one had a confirmation from Eleaf, they say they perform better, and they suspect there's cotton in them now.
I saw this thread yesterday and I already had some on order from MyEpack:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...us-mini-bvc-w-larger-wicking-holes-stock.html

The ones from MyEpack arrived today, and the holes are larger. I'll see how they are when I need to change one in the next couple of days.

 

[Pictor]

Then I would say you have a good one

That's reassuring! It does seem to be working very well.

Cloupor have now released a statement on their website about the cloupor mini issues:

Cloupor: Best Electronic Vapor Portable Vaporizer Pen Cigarettes Wholesale Manufacturer,

If you can't be bothered to read it it says the same things that I posted the other day from an e-mail from them. Fire it at 30W for 15s to test etc etc.

Glad they finally put a statement out instead of people having to go chasing them for info, although I think it would make them look better if they hired an English native speaker for these sort of things.

EDIT: Also, mine has touched down in the UK so hope to have it later this week.

Cloupor have now released a statement on their website about the cloupor mini issues:

Depending on how well they deal with any defective ones, that's not a bad response, if a little slow in coming

I do agree that considering the world-wide sales potential for some of these large electronics companies, at least one native English speaker would be essential for press releases, instruction booklets, etc.
