Heres my XP900 (in pics)

I figured they are all the same, I just wanted some more batteries. I'm not sure which battery the Tornado one is but it last's a full day of vaping. I also wanted some regular carts as I only have cartomizers and a cone atty that I've used for dripping. I seem to go through too much juice when dripping and I want to try and be a bit more conservative with it.

I could do with a charger too as I think the one I have is failing due to juice/condensation on the battery top getting into the charger. I now make sure to fully clean and dry the battery before charging.

ALSO, (I do go on don't I? ) I really like my Tornado for vaping but all my family keep saying it looks like a tampon!

And Delboy I like the flat mouthpiece, really nice to draw through and very comfortable in the mouth.

Excellent idea buying the full kit from James @ £30.00 will have worked out far cheaper then if you had bought all the bits you needed separately

ROFL re it looking like a tampon 'D

I also prefer flat (whistle tip) mouthpieces - they come as standard on 901 atties.

[delboy]

LOL...at tampon.....eeeewwww

exactly what i thought re: mouthpiece. The carts are round and solid normally. Which isn't neccassarily condusive to good clean toking. When you think cigarettes are soft filtered. Round i know but soft.

What size of battery is in your tornado Lee ? I had to go for a bigger battery. To tell the truth i paniced a bit about it. I had not smoked and i have to go back to work next tuesday and wanted something would last me all day with no fuss. Theres not always anywhere to charge up batteries on site. It's ok once the jobs nearly finished cos they electricity then. But i had to cover all possibilities. Just keep on the non smoking wagon.

<----- Jots down whistle tip

And my battery has just this second gone......25 hours !!..well pleased.

I'm not sure which battery I have. It's a bit longer than the ones in the Tornado kit on the TW site. Actually I just looked again and it might be a mega 1000 mAh, that would fit with the charge time.

[delboy]

wow...1,000mah.

Man that'll be ample i should think. Bigger batteries definitley take some stress away.

[Chrissie]

Del, the Riva I bought from Geordiekev & gave you & Scottish a link to on the ECF thread is a 900mAh battery. Unfortunately he's out of stock of the them at the moment.

Not sure what the mAh is of the ones James is selling - kit looks identical to mine but different packaging.

Yeah..nice...wish i'd had a little patience. But i saw this xp and and went for it.

Battery wise i think i'll be fine (though it is probably best to have a third for back up). What with them lasting me a day.

Quick question....i just keep filling my cart up and chugging on again. I was wondering how often i should clean my atty ? Theres nothing wrong with it..but i just wondered what Good practice is from a maintenance point of view.

[Chrissie]

That's a tricky one Del re cleaning atties, going to have to leave it with others to give you an answer. I've killed atties in the past trying to clean them but these days I don't bother, my favourite atties, LR 901's from eastmall @ only a couple of quid each aren't worth cleaning. If after a few weeks they start to get weak while on my GG's at 3.7v, I just bung them on my Garry Dibly pasthru & get up to a couple of more weeks out of them with 5v.

[delboy]

I don't draw very heavily on my vape chrissie. Do you think that giving it an easy life would help it to last ? Or do you think it's pot luck as to how long they'll last ?

[Chrissie]

I think a lot of it is pot luck with atties Del. They are the weakest link - sometimes, no matter how you treat them, they just blow. Sort of understandable really as in a way they are like an element in a hot light bulb that we drip cold liquid on.

[Perpetua]

Here's some of my goodies Del . . . personally I don't bother cleaning atomiser's especially other than give them a blow through once in a while and leave them to drain overnight on a piece of kitchen paper . . . they are for sure the weakest link, some of mine have lasted months, others minutes.

I also found that Heaven's Gift's are selling the 310 to 510 adaptor, amongst the many that they stock!

[delboy]

OMG..... what a collection you have there.

Can i ask do you use them all ? Or were they all your fav vape in the past ?

Thanks for showing. Awesome.

Thanks for link too.

[Perpetua]

I do use them all Del on a daily/weekly basis - the Tornado's I keep for work as they fit in my pocket discreetly . . . the others are at home vapes . . . along with the Map Tank.

I should add, I'm not a 'gadget' sort of person, don't have the latest of any of the modern techie gear - ecigs are different though.

[delboy]

Crikey perp...that one looks like it's part of a science laboratory.

Bet you get a good blast out of that.
