just sorting out the eLeaf...

Getting it from innovapours, they have some still in stock if you don't mind black one...
http://www.vaperus.ie/starter-vaping-kits/579-istick-full-kit.html

They have it in Black, Blue and red/pink for the full kit.

Or black, blue and silver without the charger if you already have a micro USB charger. Its where I bought mine.
Ah...

Don't need the plug and the usb... I have that from the eVic so Im fine with the basic kit from them... plus Im not waiting around for the delivery to occur, plus I needed other supplies (vaperus has no coils) and innovapours delivery is free.

I was an early adopter of this vaping lark and it quickly found itself out of favour as the e-cig that I had was, well, a bit rubbish.

Started with a 510 Titan Tank kit, cam with one long and one short battery with 1 charger. Not good as I would sluuuurp the battery in about an hour and a full charge would take about 6 hours. Did not add up.

Also found that the little tanks on the end held a gnat's spit of juice and was forever (messily) filling it up.

So I purchased about 5 more batteries, a 5 position charger and off I went.

Problem was that I had to carry in one pocket; pot of juice, spare batteries, spare element, just in case. And in the other pocket put the used batteries.

Had to find all the used batteries and charge overnight or I would be in trouble the next day.

I want to try again so I'd be looking for a chunky battery or two, fast charging, big tank and not messy/leaky.

Recommendations please...

From the sounds of it your issue is simple, stop getting kits that have low mAh rating batteries.

Look at the eLeaf kit above that I have bought (few posts up)

Its a 2300 mAh rating (at least) that is the equivalent of over 3x 650 mAh batteries and should last a good 1-2 days.

I have an eVic with 2x18650 batteries (2600 mAh) and that can last a good week if I don't abuse the hell out of the voltage on it.

My CCV Aspire has a 1000 mAh battery and I wish it was more as its good for afternoon - evening but needs charging on a night, so at least once a day.

Oh really? Can't say i've really liked any of the others ive tried, have you got any you would reccomend as im on my second week now but already tired of spending money on juice i dont really like when i get it home.
Yeah I've got most of the Vampire Vape range and only like a couple..Heisenberg, Pinkman and Black Jack being the main ones.

In terms of juice I'd recommend -

Snake Oil
Mido's Scorpion Blood
T Juice Red Astaire (you can't go wrong with this one!)
Accies Gingerbread Man (my all time favourite)
Mrs Lords Victoria Sandwich

Also just signed up for a gold Zamplebox account so will no doubt get some interesting ones from them! Can't go wrong with 11 bottles (120-180ml total) for £40 delivered from the states!

Still waiting on it to rock up, maybe tomorrow. Yeah this one sounds like the perfect tank right now, RBA's are better but some can be a right faff. I Fancy the Rose V2 next but the build looks a bit fiddly

How are you getting on with the Kayfun?
Yeah the price of the Rose V2 doesn't put me off its the complicated builds, definitely not a beginners RBA! I am loving the KFL, I was absolutely made up with my Nautilus Minis running BVC coils but the KFL really does beat it! My first build was a little leaky but second one has been spot on at 1.2ohm!

Oh well my trusted Vamo's 510 is about to knacker itself, all the tanks sit on a funny angle because of the threads. Can't complain really, it's lasted 8 months & been used daily!

Just looking at these ileaf's now as a replacement to go along with a cf 1600 vv battery.

What's the lowest ohms these can safely take?

Fingers crossed my silo tanks sat at work waiting for me. Looking forward to this one after all the reviews.

Yeah the nautilus mini's an excellent tank, these bvc coils have made a huge difference, I'm even using my full size nautilus again! These are all I've been using this week. Just been transformed with the new heads smile

As posted earlier, they're bloody good aren't they.

Took the kids to the park earlier, running around and generally messing about, with billet box in back pocket.

Not a leak, drop, anything. Yet tons of flavour and great wicking.

My Silo Tanks here smile

I haven't had a chance to use it yet just have a quick poke around and swap the coil for a bvc one.

Here it is next to the full size Nautilus (nautilus has the signature stainless tank on iirc)



Tank cover off and yep! It's basically the nautilus with improved airflow (which is huge!!) and a stainless tank sleeve.



Airflow comparison, that's max airflow on the nautilus, and this is the same as one size down from max airflow on the silo, fair bit bigger on the silo



Coils now. Uses rebranded nautilus coils but BDC not BVC (now fitted with a BVC....I hate BDC coils!!!!)



And for the ones who don't know what the BVC coils look like and the differences between the two (like I didn't until an hour ago!!)
Basically the BDC coil is a dual coil with one sat on top of the other in a cross shape, the wicks then fed through each coil, the BVC coil is a single coil placed vertically in the head then instead of the wick being fed through the coil it's wrapped around it...and I think this is how the old style cartomizers used to work?



I think that's right anyway! Whatever....basically they're the bks wink

I've just been reading a couple of interesting threads on UKv.

It appear that the restriction on using Paypal for ecig related stuff that has been in place in the US since 2009 is making it's way over here. http://www.m-vapes.co.uk/index.html

Also it appears that banks are no longer setting up business accounts for vape related business, or at least making it very hard for them to do so. Do we think this could be a pre cursor to regulations coming in from the EU?

I'm not usually a doom monger but it might be time to start stocking up kids.

Can't comment on the PayPal restrictions, but the bank ones would be simple to overcome.

Under 'treating customers fairly', as long as the business is legal, then they cannot place barriers against specific customers. Especially straightforward with the state owned banks, who are all sitting bricks due to their ability to demonstrate that they are consistent and accurate in applying the FCS rules - particularly complaints procedures (which have led to some fairly massive fines in the not too distant past).

From what I have read Vape related business are now classed under the same risk category as businesses dealing with blood sports and fossil fuels.

This is all from a chap who has set himself up selling mods and atomisers. So he's not even involved in juices and nicotine.

Hmm. Slightly odd - blood sports are illegal, and rightly sanctioned. Fossil fuel companies are very low risk (in general) as they earn st loads of dosh. However lending is likely to be high risk for oil company startups! Wouldn't stop them being able to open an account though.

There is a difference between risk and being able to have a bank account. Anyone conducting legal business has the right to use financial services. Banks are allowed to apply ethical considerations to the business they wish to make (in which case just find out who Phillips Morris bank with,

Borrowing (whether it be loan or overdraft) are subject to risk factors, in which case there can be weighting according to industry (it would seem that they may be reticent to lend to a business that may be legislated against in the short term).

As always with these things, details matter. It may be that he can't get the fairly usual small business startup support that most businesses would be able to get (introductory rates on business startup loans or business overdrafts) due to the bank's risk weighting. He should however have no difficulty in getting a business bank account setup so that he can actually trade. I don't have the contacts in the Retail division of the bank I used to work for, so can't give absolutely up to date advice, but the principles are very clear.
