Screwdriver Arrived.

[spyderuk]

My Screwdriver arrived this morning. Cheers Trog.

1st impressions are are very nice feeling weight/quality of the body. A nice slow draw is producing good quality vapor and a nice throat hit from 24mg Riskee, and my 24mg minty/menthol that both arrived today too. The consistancy of vapor/hit is very nice.

I feel confident that this device will replace all my 901's and free me from carrying car chargers, 4x901 batteries and my super mini with spare baterries. I almost skipped it due to the price tag but then considered the cost of replacing 901 batteries, inconvienience of carrying the batteries and chargers, and the frustration of failing batteries. I have also ordered a pack of 4 spare batteries from Ebay for around £10.

I may get some replacement platinum batteries to use on a night out instead of the SD but I can also have a TW/SD

Had a few analogs the last couple of days but now I feel prepared. Tomorrow is day 1.

Happy New Year

Glad to hear you got it Spyder. I know you were anxiously waiting

I may own one of those babies myself one of these days!

Congrats

I Hope you enjoy it !! I sure do

 

[linkdead]

I hope you like yours as much as I like mine.
I could not quit Kool analogs until I got my screwdriver.
After day four as a screwdriver owner I realised I had not smoked an analog in four days. I hope it goes as well for you.
Got mine on 12-7-08 and have had 1 analog since and it almost made me sick.

waiting on my SD. Live in the States so it will take linger to arrive. Maybe than I will be able to quit analogs. Right now on a juice hunt!

Right now on a juice hunt!

Replied to your juice topic.

Having the confidence in battery life really does help. Takes the worry and stress out of it.

Just an update, I'm finding battery life great. All day on 1 charge then I usually swap them over when I get in from work and charge the spare over night. I do carry it with me the next day just in case. No drop off in vapour throughout the daily usage.

Good luck Spyder, not that you should need it with your new little monster!!!

Hope it goes well, keep us posted.

I have an SD coming also, and already ordered the spider batts and charger from dealsextreme, and I have 3 extra stainless steel atomizers from puresmoker along with 10 empty carts for it. I cant wait to get it all.. Keep us informed on performance and any button issues please..

Mine just arrived. 5 drags in. So far, so good. Lots of vapor, good hit, and for once it's nice not having to suck my eardrums in to get a good drag. More to follow.

Ok 10 day's in little update.

So far so good.

Manual Switch/Button

From day 1 it felt as though the button needed a real good firm press to get the action although it now seems a lighter press will suffice. Is this the switch breaking in a little or my fingers getting stronger due to the workout. I think it has broken in a little and seems to function better. There has been the odd occasion where you take a nice long draw and get nothing but this is not very often maybe 2 or 3 times per day.

Battery Life

Ok I use this thing a lot, maybe more than I should but this is where the real deal comes into play. I don't carry a 901 with me anymore, just the SD, 1 spare battery, a few carts, atomisers and a couple of flavours of juice. I usually find I change the battery on an evening and charge the spare overnight. 1 battery last's me throughout the day without any issues whatsoever.
I also got 4 spare batteries and a charger that charges two at a time from an Ebay seller in Hong Kong. These are the 16340 cells, 3.7v 1000mah. The whole lot was around £10 shipped to the UK in ultra fast time. Faster than some UK sellers. I have charged and tested two of these batteries with the same results. If anyone wants the link for that listing give me a pm.

Overall.

If you are serious about replacing analogs with full time vaping then getting away from the stock batteries will save yourself a lot of stress. I lost several 901 batteries with sticky switches. The mod is well thought out and implemented. The price tag although it seems quite high at first glance is around the average cost of 3 901 kits. How many kits have you purchased to date?

The one atomiser that came with the SD is a true monster. So far it has had around 13ml of e-cigs minty menthol through it and it's still giving great vapor and hit. The other went south rather fast and Trog kindly offered to replace it although as a stock item they are really out of his control.

For me as a full time vaper, I need reliability. The SD delivers.

Yeah I tried that but I don't know what the foreign $ means or which currency it belongs to

 

[rejoice]

Received my screwdriver today. Very impressed with it. Lots of vapers and great favour. NOW this is a e-cig. I will write more later .

Sorry, if you put "104 pounds to dollars" in a Google search box you'll get $153.90.

That's the total amount with shipping (or was at any rate).
