Well so far this has been a complete waste of money I have been puffing away the last two hours having two batteries to battle with. As for the smoke sometimes it's great and sometimes it's not. So it does not seem to be consistent. One of my batteries I think might be faulty after three seconds on the drag the light goes out battery number two doesn't do that. But both batteries seem to flicker quite a big and after well under two hours the batteries are now on charge again admittedly I have been giving it a hammering. Started using it about 12.40 and they packed up around 2 o'clock
Sometimes you might get a bit of kick but most of the time it's like puffing air. Regarding the taste there isn't really one at all. I don't really know how to explain this for example If your E. cigarette is in your mouth and try to suck the taste around your mouth the nearest I would say it is like warm paper type taste not burning but more warm tasting effect. anyway. I find to get it brewing up you do have to prime it for a while. It tends to work better when the atomiser is quite warm and by the way it does get warm.
If you're the sort of smoker that gets your cigarette tips wet with your lips. I don't normally .it won't suit you .the paper surrounding the atomiser when damp does start to peel a bit. But that might be a good thing if you can put some liquid in. Behind the paper is basically just a steel barrel and on the top of the tip is a round plastic cap with a whole you dragg through.
I've taken off the paper off one atomiser cartridge to see what is underneath without destroying it with my garden shears so behind there like I said is the plain steel barrel with plastic cap. First you see is a round sponge or paper material which looks a greyish colour with a whole in the middle with some sort of wire their. The actual sponge isn't completely dry but not greatly moist so whether you could drip down their successfully not too sure
I did try putting a few drops down their with your normal dropper bottle but does not seem to soak very quickly at all. When dragging on it with liquid in their as you drag it tends to do some popping around and then ends up in your mouth sometimes can be a little warm to so whether we could soak your favourite liquid you like or smoke it for a while to dry out the sponge and then drip it don't know as yet too early to say.
So folks it's been a little disappointing so far whether this will improve with further investigations who knows I do think that these batteries aren't too clever well especially the one. But the funny thing when I first put them on charge the one looked charged but it wasn't a total green more like yellow type colour on the charger and then became green after four hours the other battery which I already originally had showed red at the start of the charge then turned green after four hours. But both these batteries do tend to flicker quite a bit. So after spending over £100 plus screwing me to have more cartridges so I get my missing goods shipped I think it is absolutely atrocious so whether they have returns policy I do not know but saying that it will properly cost me £30 plus to ship back so it looks like I've ended up with a lemon.
If I do get any good results out of this I will sure let you all know. We will see what the next few days hold. Less hope our kissbox and our replacement sedansa turns up soon.
Perhaps this might be ideal for smokers that love low tar cigarettes without any clout. To them it might be just the trick. But never mind I have my pen style from the smokester here right now which so far has been doing okay but I better not speak too soon.
Before anybody asks I did try three other cartridges to see if that would make a difference but that did not make any difference to. I also tried these because some people are saying that they have changed their tobacco flavoured cartridges. Mine seemed all the same. On the box of 50 there is a date on the back which I think says 2008. 04. 01. Which don't read too fresh to me but saying in the handbook it state that cartridges have a life of 24 months. I also already had 20 other cartridges which I received two weeks ago and tried them to no difference. Anyway I'm sorry to bore you all any we will have to see how it all goes.
Update while I have been writing this I have been charging up the batteries when I first put them onto charge they were both red now the funny thing is it that they are both reading and that yellow colour so I presuming the next stage is green.
So guys and girls my advice at the moment it is to save you money on this product till they get this technology right. It will probably be perfect for most of us long as we get good cartridge life good taste and certainly a bit more kick.

I am sorry about this .but I did explain this morning in a post to t Bob.
This was the original reply.

I'm sorry t Bob it's just that it is getting very late in the UK and my eyesight is not too great as I only have reasonable vision in one eye and I also have keratoconus which one of the symptoms is having reasonable vision one minute and can go blurred the next and also I'm probably not as an illiterate as your great self. I'm just a musician after all. I do also have to enlarge my fonts .screen. Etc due to my disabilities I am sorry if I have caused you any inconvenience.



all comments have been noted and I will try and improve on this in the future.

i have been ask why i write in forums like i do.. lots of spaced out short statements with big gaps between em.. its cos i know it wont all get read.. but the odd line might be.. i make the odd line easy to see.. i dont use paragraphs.. just lots of spaced out statements....

i was once told my a local councilor while attempting to communicate with them.. "if it dont fit on half a sheet of A4 it wont get read" an "off the record" statement but perfectly true..

i must admit i took one look at neds huge block of words and didnt read them.. even thow i was very interested in what ned has to say.. i assume he says he wus robbed in essence.. correct me if i got it worng

I think that I am getting to angry to comment on this but I have apologised and tried to explain in my apology to t. Bob regarding my disabilities and I suggest that you read it. still keep banging on about it my mistakes. Come on guys give me a break I'm trying to do the best as I can with the eyesight I have.



Least I am putting my money where my mouth is and trying to share my experiences and information with you all .where some of us are not in a situation to be able to afford keep spending money on new devices. I certainly do not have to do this as I do have another life but I do enjoy being a part of this forum.



All of us are from different countries. Some of us speak English some good and some bad. I have read several write-ups wear certain people's English-spelling etc isn't that good and that certainly includes mine but I know roughly what they are trying to say and are trying to do their best but I would never ever post a reply and insult their intelligence and embarrass them whether it be bad English-bad spelling and punctuation etc and not knowing if they have disabilities or a handicap which they find any embarrassment to talk about or admit to.





I am sorry to bore you all but I thought this needed to be said.

Ned, virtually every Web browser has a button at the top called View. Under that is another choice called Text Size. We can all increase or decrease text size any time we want. If you have a problem with small text, you can enlarge it. Most users won't need to, so they don't need original text entered in a large, bold font.

I wasn't being flip when I said I couldn't read it. I really couldn't. Like some here, I chose a black screen with blue highlights and white text. In order to read your comments -- and they are valuable to this discussion -- I had to highlight the text and then copy to another program, where I could change the font and bold and finally read it in black and white.

Be assured, I want you to continue to contribute your experiences with the LoongTotem.
