This has been bantered about on many web sites including this one, so I have a few questions to the more knowledgeable out there. 1. What does it actually do? 2. How much are they? 3. Are they worth the money 4. Where is the best/cheapest place to get one? 5. Do they come in different sizes for different products other than the silver bullet? Hop you all can lead me in the right direction? Thanks

Going by that it is basically a copper coated spring. Though I have read about them being able to collapse if there is too much current going through them like an overload protector. Does anyone know if this is true?

At £1:75 I think they are worth it.

No Batty I don't, but like you, I see people posting about them and have only heard that the experience is a better vape. When all the Agento posts were alive and kicking, it was always being recommended, so for the cost of £1:75 I would defo get one, at the end of the day, that's peanuts to worry about, and if its gonna do what others report, your laughing.

I have one, I can't be certain of the exact materials but a copper coated spring sounds about right. It has lower resistance than a standard spring so you get more power from your battery. I can confirm that it does make a noticeable difference in my mini Argento.

It is also slightly bigger/springier so my batteries fit the large argento without the annoying rattle springier, is a word, yes?

I would like one of these hot springs, but the cheapest postage on the ivapour site is £3.30 ! Is there anywhere I can buy one cheaper?

The other benefit of a hotspring is that it's made to collapse and break the connection if you get a short circuit in your device. As the Argento's don't have any circuitry built in to them it is a safety feature as well as providing a better connection.

Ok I have joined the Ivapour Elixir site, and it sent me a confirmation email Now the site I joined was www.ivapour-elixir.co.uk/In the confirmation email the site said it was www.ivapour.co.uk/So what is going on here then? My first thought are con, site hijack, fraud. Any one used the sites and can vouch for them? Also is there a valid discount code for the site/s

Relax Batty - they have two sites, the ivapour one specialises in their Janty range. Well established reputable vendor. They rarely if ever use discount codes I'm afraid. I can vouch for the fact that a hot spring will collapse if you get a short - If I were you I would buy at least two

Thanks Dave, They should put up a note on their sites and cross link them so I would not of gotten worried as it does look a bit sus to me.
I am going to get a few yer, but they have limited me to only geting 4 of them, Very strange that is unless they only have 4 in stock.
Scratch that, am getting 10 of them lol
