E-Cigs

I had a Cloupor Cana Mod Clone. Got it right when the first came out. Not sure why, but just didn't get on with it. I see they've announced their DNA40 box already.

From research, the early Hana clone had issues with the top near the 510 connection not sitting flush, no way to lock the wattage, poor internals with loads of glue etc, the one I have from fasttech seems to have all these resolved.

Had thought about getting a 50 or 100 watt mod but I rarely vape at anything over 11 watts tbh

I getting well narked-off with E-Cigs. I've now spent over £50 in the last 6 months and still haven't had a proper smoke yet. Just bought a Aspire K1, filled it and it's now pissing juice out everywhere and not heating at all. The e-Go batts are all new and unused.

WHY???

Why don't the bloody things work?

You sound grumpy

Could be a dodgy coil, or missing an o-ring (doubtful though)

Where's it leaking from?

I've got a pack of spare coils, the tank was taken out of it's packaging this morning. It seems to be seeping from the joint a the battery.

Hmm. The better half would remove my testicles (after promising her my billet box would be the last ecig purchase for a looong time), but...

Just use my excuse! If she thinks it's new I just say I've polished it!! Got loads of copper/brass mods here and she hasn't twigged yet

Not sure how I'll get away with a new Kato mod next month though

I haven't got that one mate so not sure how it fits together, some of my kanger tanks leak a bit but usually if they've been left in my bag with juice in the tank.

You want to try a Kayfun or Kraken....leak fest!!!

I love it. Can't be doing with exposed atomisers anymore. Love the rugged toughness from an enclosed atty, and am far too used to boxes now.

You're gonna hate me for this...





V-Modz SX350 apparently.

This is what I received this morning:-

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NR8QJRU/ref=...

And this is what I ordered this afternoon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00L2M8H9G/ref=...

None of these jobbies come with instruction books, Am I being a numpty about how to charge them, warm them up or fill them. It can't be that bleedin' difficult.

The tank that came with the battery is a CE4 and all mine used to leak mate. They're pretty crap tbh but ok to start off just to see if you like vaping. You can pick these up in the local markets for around £5 for 3. They're not great though, much better out there for not a lot of cash like a Kanger mini Protank 3.
With these ce4's you unscrew the drip tip (top bit you suck on) then fill up down the side of the tank. All mine used to leak out the bottom. I think when they make connection with the battery it must break the seal slightly and they leak. I used to give the battery connector a quick wipe everytime I'd use it and it would still be wet

The aspires different and you have to take the bottom off, then fill up down the side and make sure no juice goes down the chimney or over fill it so juice doesn't spill over into the chimney.

As for charging I used to charge this batteries up for a good 4 hours then it was good to go. On my first one I only charged for an hour and it was junk, just didn't hold its charge at all after that.

Best bet is take a look on YouTube and there's loads of videos the showing how to fill these up.

Definitely worth getting a spare battery, stick one on charge as you use the other (but don't leave charging over night or unsupervised!!)

Here's the Kanger Mini Protank 3 I mentioned

There's better out there like the nautilus mini (fantastic tank) but it's more money.

^^^^^that nautilus is by far the best tank I've bought to date. Honestly I think its the only tank you'll ever need. Just blows everything else away.

Thanks for that, will do some mooching on the net tonight.

If you get one may aswell get a pack of spare coils same time. Get the BVC ones not BDC as they're better/improved coils over the BDC.. Also just be aware your K1 uses different coils to the nautilus although it's the same brand. So you'll need normal aspire BVC coils for the K1 and Nautlius BVC coils for the nautilus mini. (That's the only thing putting me off getting the K1) if they used the same coils I'd get one tomorrow for out and about

Ah. st.

200 notes plus whatever silly atomiser I'd need, plus batteries, plus coils/tools/blowtorch/welder thingy...

Oh, and shipping and the arse reaming courtesy of customs and excise.

Probably worth every penny, but not for me right now. Unfortunately!

VEA said:

Also... just ordered one of these for a mate as a starter with a nautilus mini on top http://www.bargainvapour.com/Eleaf_iStick_Complete...

As a newbie - what would you need to get started with that ?

One of these http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/Vaping-Spares/Tanks-Ac...

and some of these http://www.vapeescape.co.uk/Vaping-Spares/Tanks-Ac...

and some juice.

[Shnozz]

I've successfully dropped down on the fags recently but to deal with the odd craving am tempted to buy a "set-up" to take the edge off it.

The problem is every time I come on this forum with hope I end up with my head in my hands trying to untwine the geekdom stuff about a C3PO mod with a box of kinga lube on a glass aero tank gas mask whilst learning how to deskunk a load of cat p1ss Mandella juice.

I have tried and failed so many times. So much easier to just ask the fookwit in Tesco for 20 Benson silvers.

There are loads of people asking what starter kits to get - The regulars in here like VEA, Cotty, Griffen Dai keep offering advice on how not to waste money on cheap starter kits and spend more now to get satisfaction and off the fags and they pretty much get ignored! I learnt the hard way, cheap atomisers and batteries... but still managed to stop smoking, just kept upgrading the kit.. my total setup now still only cost £25.00 or so but is (IMHO) very good! There is a lot of more technical discussion on different set up and how they work, can get a bit geeky...

Someone will be along shortly I am sure with links for you on the best kit to get to start you off and stop the fookwit in Tesco having to open the doors!

Then all you need is juice. Over the last few weeks I have recommended this to at least 10 people (not on here), all have bought them and all don't seem to be having any problems.

Any other questions I am always more than happy to try and help.
