***The Vapers Lounge*** 3.0

Hi inFight

£60 isn't outrageous really

Will take a look, any other recommendations?

Thanks

honestly mate I think that's the best setup you could get for the money, you could go down the line of the RX200S, but you're into using three batteries and I find the RX200S a bit on the clunky side, the smok on the other hand is quite compact and comes with lots of nifty features.
 
meh to fasttech, had to chase them after two weeks, turns out half the order is out of stock, so they just sent half the order(after being chased). :rolleyes:

Should have just paid the 30 quid more and got it in the UK. :p

I make sure I check what I order is in Stock and available to be dispatched next day before I order :p Especially since the ETA's never seem to be accurate.

I've had 1 order out of around 6/7 via China Post which took a whole month to arrive rather than the typical 7/10/14 day's so this time around I paid 1$ extra for DHL Global delivery and here is my tracking information.

Does it come with batteries?

Can't see if it does/doesn't

Cheers

EDIT: Current exchange rate comes in at £90?

Am I asking for trouble charging 3 batteries with a Nitecore I4 Charger? I'm pretty sure when I glanced through the manual the charge would be divided evenly yet Bay 2 fully charged rather quickly meanwhile Bay 1 and 3 are still going (I'm talking over an hour) :confused:

Could it be possible the batteries I received had different level of charges in them to start with?

Edit: Confirmed it does indeed split the charge between 3, Still concerned about how fast 1 of the batteries charged since this set of 18650's will be married.

Bit of a stab in the dark here.

Does anyone know of a UK stockist (or somewhere without crazy postage to UK) for a US made juice.
It's "Cold Trill" by wyze eliquids. Kind of biscuity new york cheesecake on the inhale, same + subtle strawberry on the exhale and a nice clean "fresh" (like SUPER mild minty, NOT menthol) aftertaste. It's about the best juice I've tried and could well be an everyday vape.

Problem is it's not really stocked over here (at least as far as a quick google shows). Anyone know of suitable stockist?

Batteries charging at VERY different speeds is likely more due to soft shorts in the battery. The one charging super quick has a soft short so rises to expected "full" voltage output quicker.
Bought some sony high ampage ones, turned out they were (fairly good) copies. Out of 5 2 had soft shorts quite quickly.
It's worth spending a bit and getting some GOOD batteries (anything with "fire" in the name is generally crap, stick with the samsung/sony/panasonic/etc types. Ebay seller "torchy" has good brands).

Well, They are Samsung 25R's purchased from http://ecoluxshopdirect.co.uk/ therefore I'm fairly assured they are genuine. The batteries are on their first cycle at 78% and according to the RX200s the voltages are 3.93 - 3.87 - 3.97... Guess I will cycle them a couple of times and see if they even out although if not I will contact Ecolux I guess.

Will be interesting to see how they charge second time around whether it was a case of having different charge levels to start with.
 
If it's any help, the Samsung 30Q's I bought from Amazon had different charges when I got them, one was a fair bit flatter than the other.

After the initial charge, they've always been perfect, I guess one might have been older than the other and had discharged further.

It certainly reassures me! Hopefully that's the case with mine.

Personally i would not trust the RX200's voltages to much , if it was a DNA then i would be more likely to.
A quick check with a voltmeter would be preferential .
 
If she's just starting out id recommend a Joytech AIO. You can pick them up for around 20 quid, they're a decent starting device.

Get her to watch that and see if she wants one of those.

Or look through https://www.youtube.com/user/TiaVapes/playlists

Thanks for the info :)

Really like the look of the Pico (might get one myself :p). Am thinking the Joyetech AIO for when she's out and about and the Pico for home. Are e-cigs like phone batteries? Hard to avoid fakes? As searching for the Pico, I see a lot of "authentic".

If I bought both devices, I would just need the flavoured oils on top?

You would also need a battery for the Pico.
 
My latest little toy:

A Smok Magneto II telescopic mech mod. This is it at it's smallest with a single 18350 battery. It also extends to take an 18650 battery (but doesn't look so cute). I wanted a squat atty to pair with it to keep it as short as possible. Plumped for this Derringer clone. It's not ideal but suits the dinky proportions of the mod.

Here's it next to a Pico with Melo 3 mini for size comparison:

Vapes pretty well but the 18350 batteries don't last long. Good fun though - I really like it.
