Sat on the toilet... contact was made...the rest is history.

I shouldn't laugh-explosive diarrhoea

I would also check if there are any rips, tears or nicks in the wrapping on the battery, if there is do not use again and replace it.

Is it not that case that with these batteries, the little 'knob' on the top is positive and the entire rest of the battery is the negative so if you have even a small tear in the plastic wrap it is quite easy for a bunch of keys/coins to complete the circuit and make it go fizz/bang?

Yep!

A tear doesn't necessarily mean bin the battery but it does mean at least re-wrap it (Very easy with some spare wraps and a heat gun/hairdryer)

And keep your batteries in cases!!!

I do keep mine in cases but I noticed one of my wraps has a small tear in so I put some electrical tape round it. Then it didn't fit in my mod!

Maybe I will get some new wraps..

hundreds of "different" ones available for not much money - blank ones are even cheaper - I bought 50 clear ones for about £2 I think - you can just about get away with a sheet of paper underneath them for your own design in most mods but best to go with pre-made ones I think

I just ordered half a dozen for £1.50. By the time they wear out i will have given up vaping or will need new batteries anyway.

India bans vaping. I started a separate thread to discuss

I cant comment on that particular area of PH

Banned because young people might start because it looks cool. much like smoking then..

And of course it is much easier to make your own vape juice than to grow your own tobacco supply.

This 2014 article gives a large clue why governments are so keen to ban vaping.

Now colour me cynical but it sounds like the sort of trick they would pull.

So my uwell nunchaku started leaking so sent it back to e-cig and they said i can refund or buy something else.

I would like another sub ohm kit ideally sonething abit more powerful that can produce large smoke clouds as i like doing big poofs in me house.

Any recommendations for a vape kit? Got £40 with e-cig and dont mind putting something extra.

Aslong as it doesnt leak then i be happy

Any suggestions?

[Shuvi McTupya]

I don't think I have owned an RTA that has never leaked at some point.

I am finding they seem to like a leak (not all the time) when you fill them up but turning them upside down as you screw the lid on seems to help quite a lot.

A lot of it thought is figuring out how to wick them properly and they all seem to be a little different.

I am currently using a vandy vape Revolver as my go to tank and it seems pretty good even though it is only a single coil tank. There is a lot of room in it so you can get a pretty big coil in there.

Oh my uwell nunchaku was just a regular vape with a coil that comes with it not a diy one.

Ive had it since june and used everyday and no leakage then all of a sudden i got sticky fingers

I want a double battery 150-200 watt modd box and decent coil that can take high watts

Currently the uwell is rated between 40-50 watts

I did loads of research on the nunchaku now i need to find something else so any help will be appreciated

[Shuvi McTupya]

Ok, it sounds like you don't want to get involved with coils and cotton and you want a tank that just takes pre-made ones?

I only had one of them, it was a uwell Crown 4 and I dont think that one leaked.

As far as box mods go, I have had three, the first one was the uwell crown 4 mod which was the most expensive and the fire button started to screw up after a while so I bought a couple of £20 dual battery 200 watt mods which as far as i can tell are every bit as good as the uwell was but for about half the price.

I could be wrong but in my opinion, mods are just a style thing and they all do the same thing, it is the tanks that make the experience vary.

I cant really help with tanks though as i am an RTA guy. Personally, i like making coils and wicking and messing about and it is practically free so you can do it as often as you like without spending £2-3 quid each coil change.

I am a big fan of the Horizon Tech Falcon, I have three including the Falcon King. That is where I would put my money on a sub tank with premade coils that blow clouds.

If you buy in the UK you will get a 2ml tank, you will then have to buy a bubble tank to take it to 6ml or you will be filling it up ever two minutes.
