looking for intrest in new model ecig ?

[Perpetua]

Just a thought Camper, but what about the Cyclops from Thailand for a 18650 inexpensive mod . . . don't know how easy they would be to obtain in any number?

It does look interesting Camper but some questions from me as well

Firstly as Perpy asked Is there any safety locking mechanism on it? Plus any vent holes?

I've never used any device with a cone, so wondering if they can be use with attie adapters?

What's the "1* Durable adapter* ?

Lol, well you did ask for feedback

Kat, ordinary rechargeable batteries just aren't powerful enough to power e-cigs. From memory, they are usually only about 1.5v & you really need about 3.7v

Also never come across a USB charger for non generic e-cig batteries. Would be a tad concerned about charging something like a 18650 battery from a USB port or even from my mains USB hub.

I use a 18650 battery with my GGTS & it takes a heck of a lot more time than 2.5 hours to charge it.

i looked at the cyclops aswell perp but its not good quality from what ive seen and the postage quoted from thialand was silly money.

chrissie i havent recived any yet so im not sure myself what a durable adaptor is, vent holes i think are in the end cap were you remove the battery from and as for the usb i havent a clue as their is a seperate charger to charge the batteries.
i have a few 18650s and theyre 3000mAh and they dont take long to charge oh and the cones fine with adaptors as ive used them with my tornado to try, safety lock ? now i am puzzled whats one of those ?

The buttons of the GG range turn and lock so that you can't accidentally set them off in your pocket or wherever.

Talking of buttons - what I found with one of the Tornegoriva-style batteries I've had is that it's possible for the "nylon" button to catch under the hole in the casing when you press it, and fail to pop back up when released - hot hot hot!!! This also happened with a powerful passthru I had (Puresmoker's first edition), it fused my new posh laptop's USB socket (It should definitely have been used with a hub but we were not forewarned.)

Events like that (and much worse!) have made safety-consciousness more prominent than it used to be in the "old days".

tornigovas should turn off after 10 seconds even when the buttons is still being pressed down, not sure about the exo 18650s buttons yet but will probobly be the same.

see how much they charge for the indulgence v2 and thats direct from china so £40ish isnt a bad price for a full kit and im not even making a profit.

So can you change the voltage ,3.7V, 5V,6V and 7.4V, as you can with the indulgence v2 ? hmm maybe more interested if it can

[Chrissie]

Sorry Camper, I don't know how the heck I missed your link to the video last night After watching it now, I can see that as you say, it does come with a proper big battery charger

I think the £40.00 mark sounds like a good price for all you get in the kit. If I didn't have my faithful GG's, I would have been interested

[camperman]

theirs no different tubes MRL to change the battery sizes like the indulgence i was using it as a price example of how much it was but i cant see why you couldnt match batterys and use it at a higher voltage.
£40 was more of a ball park figure as it all depends on customs charges as it could be more around £35 or less.
chrissie it is a full kit in a big box hence the charge but i could possibley post it without the big box so its a little cheaper on postage

As i say Camper,i am still up for buying one.If you could take it out the box to make postage cheaper,that would be fab.Put my name down as a definate,if you dont mind.

Nice one fella.I know im getting the Provari but would love to also try this.It sounds well worth a go,also it looks super smart.I think its a very good price,801 fitting is no issue,thats what adaptors were made for

[camperman]

funny you should mention the provari as i was talking to the guy who is selling me the exo18650s on msn today and hes been quizing me on what is hot in the uk and what sort of mods we go for and i sent him the provari website and he said "we could make a mod with a switchable voltage like that at a much cheaper price" so watch this space as hes looking into working on it

t
the button is in the exact same place as as a tornego so just think tornego but BIGGER.

Do you mean that the button is like a Tornego's but bigger? Or that the whole mod is a bigger Tornego?

If the button is exactly the same as a Tornego's, I could not buy.

I don't spose it makes much difference which you mean, you're saying that the button is Tornegoriva style.

[camperman]

your such a blonde scylla

the whole thing is bigger including the button
