At FT I saw some mods and tank combinations by ECT - one has a 5ml tank with 1.5ohm coil, but I'm not clear as to a/who they are, and b/ what sort of coils the tank takes?
$30.33 Authentic ECT X9 II 2200mAh VV E-Cigarette Battery Starter Kit - 5ml / 1.5ohm / 3.3-4.8V / aluminum + glass + brass / US at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
On FT there appears to be quite a few "Authentic" items from Chinese firms that no-one has heard of - think this may be one of them

Love what one of our drivers at work did:
View attachment 546354

Our Postie told me yesterday, that they had all been printed in Germany.(can't confirm as we haven't had a copy).
Our wheelie bins say "made in Germany"on the bottom.:nah:

Nothing surprises me these days - it's always seems to be dearer to produce anything in the UK

Got called up to King's this morning as they couldn't get any response from her, when I got there, she was a lot more responsive and I spoke the doctor that had called me, it appears they have found evidence of multiple heart attacks over the past year, which neither she nor I have been aware of, and the prognosis is not very good, she had a VT on Friday whilst she was in Resuscitation, and they are saying that if she has another it may be final. She is still quite confused but was more awake today than she has been all week so far.

As I have just refilled this again I thought I would give a comment on it:
Horizon Arctic Turbo tank - takes between 1 and 3 coils (0.6ohm each) so 3 gives 0.2 ohms, they now have some 0.3 ohm Ni coils as well (2=0.15ohm 3=0.1ohm), I still have the original 3 in that I put in on 01/12/15 and I have been vaping King's Crown - Fight your Vape on an IPV4 @ 50w since then, it holds 3.5ml and this is the 12th time that I have refilled it and it is still going strong, do get a slight seepage if you tilt the tank via the AFC holes, but nothing serious, that can't be cured with a blow through just like a few other tanks.

When they first came out a lot of people didn't like it, complaining of leakage etc., but this is one of the best tanks I have. Top fill BTW & for direct Lung hits.

I should add that most of the ones that we do now know started off as unknown firms - think Youde (UD) that have made very good items and established their name.
Good point - can't say that one in the link is the smartest design I've seen though, but it's powerful and the tank is good capacity ...but the type of coil puzzled me - not too sure what it is.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least - seems a lot of contracts go there, and to other EU countries. Could it be some political reciprocal thing rather than purely cost based?
I was particularly annoyed about Siemens getting the carriages contract for over 1100 of them! ...been other things since.
I do recall the US bringing back some manufacturing from foreign countries, and one company asking the former workforce if they'd be willing to work for reduced pay rates until they were up and running properly again ...the suggestion worked.

Really sorry to hear that Bob - does that explain the recent problems to a degree?

Doesn't appear to be any replacement coils for it so far, it looks a bit like the Cleito coil, and I see that there is only a US wall plug for it, not that, that is needed, personally I would look for something better.

That is quite possible, I went back up there this afternoon and she was definitely more alert even though she was still confused not realising she was in hospital, and trying to smoke imaginary ciggies :)

Thanks for looking. I'll pass on that then - not like I need one :)

Oh dear - pity she's confused. Wonder if she'll become annoyed or upset by not having a cigarette!

Not at the moment, but if/when she becomes mobile & more alert, then I think maybe, at the moment she thinks she really is having a ciggie. Last time she was in, she was mobile after the 1st day, and had them with her, and she was sneaking out or going into the bathroom to smoke, nurses were getting quite annoyed with her, this time I have kept them at home. Her SpO2 is being constantly monitored and she is being given either Oxygen or the Nebulizer when it gets too low or she is having difficulty breathing.

Bob - I'm sorry that you're going through such a tough time.

My Eldest son found this on FB earlier, looks like the evic mini to me :laugh:
Shoot, how do i embed a video off FB ?
Not sure, have you tried r/click on the video, or in the links at the bottom of the video and see if an embed link comes up, I know sometimes I can download the video and then use another system to upload it via, like dropbox.

I hope not, but that sounds as though it could be tough at some point ....for everyone!
