Need Some Advice

[liz]

Hi All,

Here I am. I long-time lurker and lapsed vaper.

Now I intend to get back on board but I stopped vaping because I had irregular/missed heart beats. I was only on 11% juice and was not a chain vaper. Did anyone else have this problem?

I was one of the first purchasers of Trogs marvellous Screwdrivers.
I love it and its still going strong, although I think that I would like the bigger button that he now has.

Now I need some advice about pass-throughs. I gather that you just plug them into the computer and away you go.
Do you have a choice of whether to have a button to activate or not.
If there is a choice I would prefer to have a button.
Is this what is meant by automatic/manuel?
Which brand of pass through do you recommend for a good vape and reliability?

Is it possible to get a set-up that plugs into the mains and goes through a transformer into the e-cig without the computer.
If this was possible I could have them all round the house. How handy that would be!!

One last query. I'm finding the juice I have a bit harsh on the mouth and throat. Can anyone recommend a nice smooth juice.
I'm not bothered about flavour. I'll try anything once!

Sorry for all the questions and a big thankyou in advance to Chrissie and the gang for patiently dealing with this numpty.

I will probably have more questions before I get up to date again,
but I think thats enough for now.
I just looking forward to getting off real cigs and being able to breathe again and having a clean, fragrant house!

Many thanks
Liz

Sorry I can't help but I came on expressly today to ask about these, they plug into the usb and have a battery on the end and you just use your atty and mouthpeice on it ?

Hope you don't mind if I hijack your thread to see the replies too.
I have a 901 ( i think) just a normal mini.

Could someone point me to a reliable one or good/cheap seller please .

I have an old 901 passthrough I got from e-cigs.co.uk - I only use it for emergencies (once I was in the US and my SD battery charger failed!). I find the SD batteries last so long that the passthrough is largely necessary. A passthrough will normally work with a USB main adapters, but I can't recommend them myself as I not tried.

I know a lot of people rate these very highly, you can email Garry for advice too:

Liz - if you ever want to sell your original "small" button SD let me know, it would complete my SD collection...

Hi Liz & Malibu..

I second the prof's recommendation of the Gary Dibley passthroughs, they are highly regarded...

i did notice tho, that the link posted shows a 510 version, i can't see the 910 version on there, but will check Gary's website in a minute...

i also have a transformer to plug it into that will give a 5v vape without the need for a computer, i'll look out the link for you as soon as i can find it.....

be right back

FIRST OF ALL....... {{{{{{{{Malibu}}}}}}}}} I'm so happy to see you again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


PASSTHROUGHS - The basic 901 is unreliable - according to me and according to other victims I've seen around.

The best bargain should be the GARRY DIBLEY (from Liberty Flights) but my second one died today after a couple of weeks max

I got that American PureSmoker from Simon @ e-cigs.co.uk now renamed Liberro (something like that) but the button stuck on first use and it blew up the USB socket on my posh new laptop; the replacement was not satisfactory - cable too thick and unwieldy, for one thing.

Yes, you can get a mains/USB adapter from several e-cig suppliers. One from eBay that provides 5 volts is what Chrissie recommends, but mind keeps falling apart if I'm not careful, I think it needs more glue.

Here is Simon's selection - you can expand the pic to see more clearly:

I have no further advice on passthrus at the moment.

LIZ - BURNY THROAT - until you get your ideal juice, make sure you are keeping your stuffing wet enough. It's a nuisance keeping up with it but not flooding it, I know.

Try adding Vegetable Glycerine to your juices - there should definitely be less "hit". You can buy it in the baking section at Supermarket or at a chemist.

I leave it at that for now, see what else I should respond to

I think this is the one i have, but Chrissie will be along later and will confirm (or otherwise )

this is the Gary Dibley 901 pass through, you have to buy it through Liberty Flights tho, and i can't see it on there, just the 510 one...maybe email and ask?

The Garry Dibleys only seem to come in 510 variety, you have to buy an adapter for 901

That USB link is for SEVEN I can't find singles, the lowest number is TWO (I wonder if others whose units were "faulty" returned theirs so now they're desperate to get rid of them). I would add that you can still use the adapter and if you don't disturb it it doesn't come apart.

Here's the link to 2, they have other quantities:

If you could part with your Screwdriver, I think that Trog would change the button for you.

The one that Chrissie recommended to me was £7 odds Scylla, that seller has several, the one you linked to is only £3.70.....im not sure wot the difference is - it's all gobbledegook to me...

hurry up and come back Chrissie...lol

[Scylla]

Maybe it had accessories, Li ???

We'll soon find out

Hello & welcome Liz & lovely to see you again Malibu

This is the USB hub I bought - it's 3amp so even more powerful than the 2amp ones & with the Garry Dibbley passthrough, you will get a fantastic 5v vape. I have this hub plugged into a socket & slung over my sofa - no need for it to be anywhere near a pc

Shame that Garry Dibbly isn't still making the stand alone 910 passthrough, but the Elite one does come with the adapters, though it is a tad more expensive : -

I searched Safekom's shop and it only came up with multiples, Chrissie

(You're back! )

[liz]

Thankyou so much for all your replies.
I am so sorry that I haven't been around.
My computer wouldn't fire up and suddenly its started to behave itself again.
So thats tomorrow sorted out - digesting all your advice and acting on it. An expensive day I guess!!
Thank you all once again.
Liz

Thanks for the welcome back Scylla
I'm nearly at the end of my holiday cigs and daughter said she just paid £6.01 for L&B at a corner shop

I still don't really want to pack in smoking but I can't afford it any longer.
After browsing on here I bought 2 new sets at £14 that was mentioned and some chocomint, I still have 4 batteries and 2 atties ,I use them at airports.

I was a bit impatient I think and also bought a passthrough ( well I think I got the right one ) from Liberty flights. I'll see how it goes.

Daughter and partner went to the smoking clinic yesterday, they both don't seem to want to try this . He has been giving champix and she has lozenges as she has a history of depression and she says the patches burn her.

Personally ( knowing her) I don't think she stands much chance on lozenges alone. I'm keeping one new set unopened in the hope she gets desperate enough to try

[Chrissie]

Liz, let us know how you get on this time round

Malibu, I hope your daughter does give it a try
