I am not a huge fan of Wrigley's! had to give up gum due to IBS lol. Might try a coffee one providing its not got caffine in it.

I got more Black and Blue, Colonel Custard and Metolpis today from T Juice. Like the custard one but Black and Blue is nicer, next in the morning when I get home is a tank of Metopils (can't remember how to spell it lol) with a mug of decaff and Epoch on Arma3! :D

That would be great hector! Might look for a usb plug adapter that does 2200mah on a low volt so it fast but safe charges. Well in theory lol!

Warranty? Worst I've seen on a battery is 45 days..

Just sent him a pm on the potv forum. He is basically saying it is a DOA policy and that they are tested before going out. Pee'd off a little. He did suggest pulling out the pin with tweezers but it isn't as if it wasn't making contact with the atty.

Decided to pull the cover off from the inside of chip seeing as I appear to not have any warranty anyway to find 2 massive and un-penetrable splodges of glue.

Funny when I started looking at this yesterday it was mentioned that before Cloupers V3 they had a large round contact pin. Although mine is allegedly the V3 it does seem to have a large diameter.

May have to chalk this down to experience. I may see if someone can install a genuine DNA 30/40 down the line.

That's BS.. Tell him to enjoy the money he got from you because he won't get any more. people like that need to meet me in a dark ally, god darn crook.

PS: What company? to be sure I don't give him any pennies in future (reap what he sows).

c rating is the key safety issue (c = capacity amperage).

Li-ion wants between 0.5c to 1c charge rate to be safe and ensure the best lifespan of the battery.

So for a 2200mah battery you want between 1.1a (0.5c aka slow charge) to 2.2a (1c aka fast charge) charger.. BUT DO NOT use as a passthrough (vape while charging) with a low amperage charging device, I suspect that you want at least a 2a to be safe. This is the sort of thing I'll chat with Keith about tomorrow because I think that was the cause of the recall.

c rating examples:
0.5c: 600mah battery = 0.3a (300mah) charger
1c: 600mah battery = 0.6a (600mah) charger

0.5c: 2200mah battery = 1.1a (1100mah) charger
1c: 2200mah battery = 2.2a (2200mah) charger

It's folk that plug an unprotected 320mah battery into a 1a charger that are worthy of a mention in the daily mail.

It was Aero vape. To be fair they are a young fledgling company who according to the owner won't be re-stocking them again. Well not at the bargain £36.99 I got mine for ;)
He also he has promised to give me something nice for my troubles when they re-stock their new hardware line.

I hummed and hawed about stating their name but I suppose ultimately what I am left with is a non working mod and most likely no trust in buying anything again from them especially when customer service is one of the major deciding factors in everything I buy.

I suppose it is part of the risk you take when dealing with clones etc.
 
Some great info there Hector, thank you!

Interested to see what he says tomorrow at the shop.

Just looked at my Samsung S4 battery and it is CE 3.8v 2600mah and the plug for it is 2a 5v. Guessing that the plug would be too much for the Istick from a saftey point of view?

That's fine to use, it's under the 1c rule.

Some more info as I sober up :o Optimum charging for lifespan of both li-ion and li-po batteries is 0.7c, so for a 2200mah that's 1540mah or 1.54a

Math:
mah * c = charging mah
example:
2200 * 0.7 = 1540

These are safety precautions though in case the iStick does not regulate it's draw. It might well do though, being that it's a passthough device, this is what I'd like to find out tomorrow..

To to sum it up for now 2a is good for safe charging.
 
Cancelled mu FT Plume Veil order, The TOBH is doing me fine and I can't be arsed lesrning how to coil and wick another atty.

The KFL hasn't been touched since I got this going properly. Think I have become a dripper :O
 
I ordered the Infinite CLT2 along with a Segelei belt case for £39 on Wednesday evening and paid an extra £5 for next day delivery, so hoping it arrives today, had it shipped to my work address... fingers crossed.
I also ordered 100ml of juice from Spectrum Vape early Wednesday morning, anyone know what their shipping times are like?

I ordered on Tuesday I think it was and haven't had my order update on their website.

I messaged Shaun via the Spectrum Vaping facebook page and he thinks it was sent yesterday.

Judging by his posts on the UKVT facebook page, he has had a lot of issues with Royal Mail as of late.

Worth quoting your order number to them on FB and seeing what's up. Otherwise, their customer services is second to none and if you don't receive your items they send out another batch etc.

Fingers crossed for you dude!
 
My Infinite CLT2 has arrived, put a dual 26awg coil in, reading at 0.2ohm on my Segelei 100 watt (0.17ohm on stand alone ohm reader), and its a nice atty, fully opened its as airy if not more so that the Plume Veil, though can be closed down too, and it vaps real nice at 40 watts :)

Its a well polished and quality looking build, great seals and tension on the AIF, but it does have sharp edges on the top cap and cooling fins and the center post and had to unscrew the firing pin a little to get it to fire on the Segelei... the two screws fall out once you unscrew them past half way open... otherwise im happy with it, my first Original RDA if you like.

Cheers Tommy, im in no mad rush for the juice, but having tried Grants Vanilla Custard im keen to see what theirs is like in comparison, as Grants was Very tasty.

To get very close to grants vanilla custard, buy some capella custard + dulche de leche (or however it's spelt). I concocted a mix with;

- 7.5% capella custard v2
- 2% DDL
- 2% Bavarian Cream

Tasted not far off of grants at all, and costs one hell of a lot less than grant's to make! :)
 
thanks again Tommy... I only had a 10ml bottle of grants, my local vap shop gave me it as he had just got a 100ml bottle for himself and I had just spent £80 in his store...
I was very nice but 0mg so I went through it in no time at all..
Ill see how spectrum vapes version is and if its not as good ill try your mixture next..

Any advice on where best to get the PG/VG, nic and flavorings to mix my own... the next on my list of to try things ...
I managed to get 100VG from a local chemists but only a small bottle.
 
New issue I'm having: Halfway through movember and I have noticed that my exhaled vapour condenses on my moustache. It's really irritating.
