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?

Just got back, they are extremely busy so only skimmed the basics. New batch of squapes in and lots of people wanting next day delivery.

Battery we're sure is a Li-Po; seen reports of Li-ion and while it does say 18650 on the battery, it is soft sided ergo Li-Po; more on this is a moment. Your Samsung 2a plug is ideal for your iStick so you don't need to buy anything else.

Li-Po: There's a lot of fear mongering with these batteries which is daft seeing that Li-ion are just as volatile. I've used Li-Po's for years, from 2 cell to 6 cell. They do NOT flair up when vibrated, they do NOT flair up with impact. They will when shorted out, when punctured, charged after suffering damage to cell and can charged beyond their specified c rating but Li-ion would flair up too under all the same circumstances. The Li-Po in your device is protected by the case from puncturing and impact induced cell damage, you have short protection on the chip and if you stick within the 1c rule you're equally safe as using Li-ion.


So rules:
stick to 0.5c to 1c.
unplug as soon as fully charged (hence don't go out or to sleep leaving battery on charge).
enjoy your vaping.

:)

Edit: picked up some authentic Squape R parts to build one rather than buy extras after buying the full RTA kit: 510 Base, Wide version internal base, Brass ring and Nano tank.. Cleaned and built it to 1.4ohm using .34 wire/3mm diameter and it's working a treat, so easy to build and refill. It's a tad smaller than the Kayfun and oozes flavour like an RDA.

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.

ClassiKool on ebay is good for PG and VG (cheapest when I last bought a couple litres) I normally get my nic from Pirate vapes (but look around each time for the cheapest from a trusted vendor) for a good range of flavours I order most often from Chef's Vapour.

Why did you join up instead of just purchasing direct from the store?
Click to expand...

Because when I first tried the store, everytime I click the link it just asked me for a password.

I subbed for the £12.99 first box more than anything. Anyway the store link is working for me now and I got a few bottles of what was left :)

A quick question for anyone who buys from fastech.

I bought the plume veil and the orchid 2 weeks ago from them and they've been in the uk now more than a week at langley heathrow airport/customs.

Is this normal, been no movement at all.
 
Ive ordered a few things from FastTech, quickest delivery was 6 days, longest was about 10 days, ive a m8 at work who's last delivery was sat like yours for a week and arrived today.

Thanks You Crowort, ill check those vendors out :)

Wow Hector! Nice one!

Glad I can use my samsung plug for when I am not at the PC. I really am loving my setup but have to carry a bottle to refil as I am using about about 3ml a day lol.
Click to expand...

I'd say that was pretty normal. I use 3-5mls a day myself. Main reason I mix my own as it is so much cheaper and I use a lot.

Just ordered one including a free silicone cover too :)

Wut! Wheres my free cover as well! :eek:

I ended up sending the russian I bought back. Over all a very disappointing experience by both customer service and RTA use. It vaped lovely but the centre post that screwed the neg post into the base was bent as hell so when you screwed the 510 screw in it always turned the neg as it was that bent......oh and it leaked form the threads of the collector tank. £80 RRP and the owner of Northern vapers claimed they all like that so dont worry about it! I have 3 Kayfun clones that are all spot on and I expect more for the £65 I paid for it so even though I asked for a replacement they sent a refund which will now take more time to clear in my account. The emails I got from the manager where short,sharp and patronising, and the fact I explained I would only buy another with the refund and they still sent a refund instead of a replacement, feels a bit spiteful as well.

Its a bit of a pain as they sell the kiwi and custard juice I love but I just cant bring myself to give them any more money :(
 
So I love my gourmet juices and love scopes apple tart but Ive heard this stuff is very nice off of people on the other 2 vaping forums we like to use:-

http://www.ecigarettedepot.co.uk/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=104&product_id=286

Its £6.99 for 30ml and its buy 2x30ml get one free at the moment so thats £13.98 for 100ml.

Now I know 100ml for £13.99 is so cheap its usually "If it sounds to good to be true......" but Ive heard nothing but good things about them so Ive bought 30ml for £9 posted. They say steep it for a week so I will keep yoos peeps posted!

Im more interested than anything else to see if its good as if it is,then it some of the bigger companies have some explaining to do!
 
Vapingliquid.com have just opened a shop in Ipswich (15 minutes drive for me) going to have a look tomorrow to see what the juices are like :)

30ml for £9.00 interested to see what flavours etc they have in store, think the do 3 10ml bottles for £10.00 hopefully will be able to try some of it, just round the corner from e-cigwizard so a bit of healthy completion.

Would have gone down there today but spent most of today trying to play the new World Of Warcraft expansion what a waste of time that was :(

Cheers all

Always fancied wow but didn't get into pc gaming until it had a few expansions out and feel its too late to now.

Liquid should be here tomorrow so even though it will take a week to steep.....a good sniff is usually enough I find to get at least an idea! Just in case I bought 50ml of scopes apple though :p

FastTech took over 3 weeks to deliver to me.

They rarely update the tracker so I wouldn't worry about it.

Nice one, thanks.

I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

Whats the story with the vape crate subscription service. A lot of people on their facebook page saying they're scammers or they don't send out the crates and ignore your emails.

There is also people that are happy with the sub service though so don't know what to believe.

They have sent out my orders for the £4 bottles though so I'm happy.

Probably just people being impatient.

Saw the rDNA40 earlier, looks good but expensive. Might have to give it a shot.

I joined and they easy to speak to and only 7 days shipping from the US however if you dont like fruit dont join. I ticked every box for flavour and it was all fruit! Looking around most people say the same about them

This turned up this morning and smells EXACTLY the same as scopes. With closed eyes I cant tell which bottles which. Going to give it a steep for a week then the taste test. I do hope it darkens a bit though as its orange and I hate orange flavour anything...even the colour!
 
Hey guys, how can I stop my Ehpro Kayfun + from some minor leaking? This happens regardless of bottom or top filling. We're not talking massive leaking here, but there's always a point during vaping where the mod and my fingers get coated in VG and I think it's coming from the air control screw hole. I've got the screw all the way in. It's a tiny screw, but shouldn't it have an o-ring like the fill hole screw does to prevent leaking?
