On the subject of leaving your batteries in the charger... It shouldn't do any damage to your battery at all as long as you're using an 'intelligent' charger (and protected batteries). By this I mean a charger that knows when the battery is 'full' and so stops charging. Most chargers used with e-cigs and mods appear to be the intelligent type and most batteries are protected. They sense the battery is full and automatically switch to trickle charging. The best way to describe it is to think of a sink with a well-fitting yet very slightly leaky plug. This is your battery as batteries very slowly 'leak' their charge over time. Next you have an 'intelligent' tap... you turn it on full and it begins to fill the sink. When the sink is full, the tap senses it, and turns itself down to just a drip. As your well-fitting but slightly leaky plug allows the water to drain, the tap drips in to the sink, therefore constantly keeping it topped up without overflowing. That's pretty much how an intelligent charger works. HTH... Sean  |

OK, confession time, when I switched batteries this morning the one I thought was fully charged wasn't, I was playing about with different attys yesterday afternoon and must have used the wrong battery, so my super battery isn't so super after all, I'd simply screwed in a freshly charged one. :-[ In my defence, they all look the same. ??? |

In my defence, they all look the same. I can see we'll have to watch you, TP - not because of the battery swap, but because of the brilliant face-saving excuse scylla  |

Hi Poppy, As Jerry says, yes to dripping a couple of drops into your attie Re the Flu cured juice, apart from waiting for James to get it back in stock, I'm not sure where to recommend. I've just started on a bottle of Dekang Flu cured & I'm not liking the after taste at all  |
