Well Jas the fact that I do clean mine rather proves that they last longer with cleaning. I would agree Phoenix, but I think everyones missing my point Mine too, no way was I indicating that you or your products are unworthy of our support. You know that as I have bought almost everything I have from you and will continue to do so. i do wish people would refrain from reading too much into my posts and jumping the gun.

One of the problems I face when people are interested in vaping is when I tell them that cartos etc are disposable, then when you tell them that rechargable batteries don't last forever, they give up before they start obviously spending £7 on a pack of ciggies every day is much better value ??? They're not ready to give up Karma..Nothing to do with sense.. Very true Macca. I can usually tell someone who is being pushed into it by their partner/family by the number of reasons they give me about it being too expensive, to much faffing, doesn't look right etc. I usually end up recommending a packet of fags.

Is this question meant for me macca? the answer is, I bought some 6 weeks ago, not used every day and 2 of them have died, never had a dead one before Yes...You never wrote "it was working for 6 weeks and then stopped."..You wrote, "mine won't fire on any of my batteries." From what you initially wrote I thought you had a DOA Maybe because you never had a dead one before you felt the way you did. They are consumables including the batteries. Even 3 weeks of use from a stardust has paid for itself and more..

Anyone know a cure for a leaky bottom for these? Seems like juice is pooling onto the battery connection. I cant see any cracks in the tank and have tried to re-seat the siliconcap and pip but no joy >

Post a closeup of your stardust from the side azzie and may be someone can make out what the problem is..
Overfilling causes leaks through the center..

Thanks macca, I think Ive fixed it for now with a bit of diy. Ive placed a tiny bit of cotton wadding under the silcon cap, between the wick and cap. I`m guessing that the silcon cap was leaking. Seems to maybe be an issue with the both of the version 1s, as the version 2 (longwick) works like a charm. Fired up with my new ego twist (thanks to Jason for speedy servie as usual), loads of vapour

I think I'm happier when stuff just dies completely, then I don't feel bad about putting it in the ' re-cycling ' dish . . . when something still has a little life in it, it seems wasteful somehow to ditch it. Daft really, because start on a fresh something, it's a much better vaping experience and then I think why have I plodded on with this worn out thing. Don't know about you perps but I am a' war baby' and have a waste not want not attitude towards everything, eeking things out is in my blood I'm afraid. I was bought up to not waste a thing Phoenix, so it's in my blood as well . . . even if I don't want/use something, I'm always conscious that it may do another a turn. Although I veer from being vertiably miserly to most horribly extravagant . . . if only I could find a middle ground. Pleased to hear you've got your leaking sorted Azzie.

I'm the same......... I buy stuff and use them until they fall apart or die Hate being wasteful The Visions I got from Jason last month are still being used, think washing them out and rotating each one has helped to prolong their life

Please explain, I am a bit thick.
