Just re-watching the YT vid i posted and noticed that the bloke mentions testing the materials of the coil "Here at corporate" - which sounds very interesting Definitely a Pre-production model too by the sound of it too

Just spotted this on YT - seems that at least one has escaped into the wild. The dude isn't exactly following the 'inventors' instructions - but seems interesting.
So the tank is bottom fill - looks pretty big - not just ml but maybe wider diameter than 22mm?
Also assume that this is a pre-production model.

£80 for a one off payment + cotton - which most of us have kicking about anyway. Stock coil = £2.50-£3 (inc postage) - £80/3 = 26.67 - so say 6 months of stock heads at one a week This coil offers a years 'guarantee' - even if the cCells are 'safe' and last 2 weeks that's the break even point. If and when this drops to the £50 price point or below - it has started to make savings for the average vaper. Really hoping that they come to the Shenzhen Ecig Expo so i can try one out

Just finished the 16 week semester - which was almost as painful as it sounds. There were meant to be 2 native English teachers here - but Richard the Yank i'd been communicating with via Skype - and had signed up for hi 3rd year at the college (should be a good sign right?) - his father died literally as i was in transit, so understandably he didn't return. That's left me as being the only native English speaker amongst the10,000 students, and one of about 12 or so amongst the 3 million residents of Xianning! Plus of course no one to show me the ropes. The 'guidance' on how and what to teach has been along the lines of, "you're an Oral English teacher, get them to speak English" - which as you can imagine is incredibly helpful - then you realise that although it's a college, and the students have technically been studying English for a minimum of 4 years - they don't actually recognise an English speaker asking them what a Noun, Verb etc are! i could go on about the trials and tribulations, the trying the CELTA method, and then waking up to the reality that my 'training' is effectively useless here - but suffice to say - i've survived, there has been some, if minimal progress and the students are at least recognising that they may not understand my words but appreciate the effort i'm putting in - and that i'm an 'interesting teacher' - which i suppose is something LoL Next semester, i have to come up with a different approach again. The Chinese education system seems, to me, to be about giving them fish, whereas i've been trying to teach them to fish. Not wanting to just stand at the front and do the repetition thing - which is probably as boring for them as it would be for me, i've tried many different things instead. I think next semester i might give them some fish, as bait, to lead them towards the fishing rod - just to see if it works

Cheers catface26 - use whatever browser works tbh - fiirefox, chrome or Oprah - and Strongvpn - which is good, most of the time. Think the Vaporesso must have been maintenance - just weird timing

In other news - might be 'representing' Spinfuel on their Media stall at the Shenzhen Ecig Expo in April (14-16th) - press pass and 'exclusives' included Be interesting to see what the Chinese manufacturers plans for the TPD will be

Aloha izan - i'm on the college t'interweb - no fibre - and combined with the great Firewall it can cause issues - but not usually for sites from China. YT is different - and i usually try to download anything that's over 10 minutes - and last night the download failed

Aloha @eatface26 I have some problems with youtube in China - any chance of a time reference - can't often get to watch more than 10 minutes or so over here - it being blocked and all

Interestingly - the Vaporesso site - vaporesso.com - and the links from the statement or the site that robby posted all come up with this message currently The URL Is: www.vaporesso.comMySQL Server Error: Connection timed out ( 2002 ) You Can Get Help In: www.MetInfo.cnIt might be coincidence - scheduled maintenance etc - but within an hour or so of my polite email, saying that i would be in Shenzhen and very interested in visiting the factory and reporting their side of the 'cCell Controversy' for Spinfuel - makes it more interesting LoL Edit OK waited and kept trying for around an hour before posting (on firefox and chrome) - posted - and then the links started working again

Might try and find out where in Shenzhen Vaporesso (Smoore) are based, and see if they can a) clear up the toxicity issue and b) sell me some heads direct LoL Seriously though, no contact details on the Vaporesso site, so emailed Smoore directly. As i'm going to be in Shenzhen next week, i've asked if it would be possible to visit the factory, and give their side of the toxicity rumour - i'll contact Spinfuel too to see if they might be interested in 'publishing' Smoore's side of the story - hopefully including their toxicity reports too. Can't hurt to ask as i'll be in the area

My first China bought set-up - Realeux rx 200 and Footoon Aqua FX. No idea about the 'Authenticity' of either, though the FX is more than likely not Either way - cracking set-up. The Realeaux is hefty compared to either the Kbox or Eleaf 50w i brought with me, but sits nicely in the hand, terrific battery life, smooth fire button, and really ain't falling over! The FX (unauthentic though it maybe) gives great flavour, vapour, airflow, and loving the 3 or 5ml options. The rebuilding is definitely easier 2nd time around, and the way you can build a coil using the spare ceramic and clips and then just drop it into the 'case' when needed, makes it only a tad more difficult than replacing a stock coil - no need to drain the tank either. Have afew bits and pieces due too - 'Authentic' Aqua FX - Vaporesso kit (mainly for the Ceramic heads to try in a Furytank 2 when i visit Anyvape - only way to guarantee an 'Authentic' product LoL. Clapton Coils that come with the Furytank 2, versus ceramic from the Vaporesso ) and 6 new batteries for the Realeaux. Still got to sort a juice supply out, the 500ml of 30mg premixed Nic, PG/VG - is due to run out in a month or so - even diluted - but have found a source of Nic - IL of 36mg for $39 which should keep me going - they do flavours too but will hang on to see if i can source owt else - or get me Ma to send me some M+P's Vaping in China thus far has been a) lonely - still not seen or heard of another vaper anywhere near me b) trickier to source 'authentic' anything than i imagined. For example - thought i'd try and find some of the Vaporesso ceramic heads - easiest place was FT - who don't deliver to mainland China. So ordered them to be sent to me Ma in Ireland, who will then send them to me in China Hence ordering the Vaporesso kit in the end. At least the controversy over the toxicity of the coils should be sorted one way or the other by the time the 10 i've ordered arrive LoL

Fair play to Grimm for mentioning it (eventually) - i have some of the coil heads due from FT - but having to go the long way round - sent to me Ma in Ireland (freepost) and then her sending them to me in China (as FT don't deliver to China ) - so by the time i get them all this should be cleared up But then again - i also ordered a kit from taobao, about an hour before the OP, which should arrive this week, so that i can have a lighter alternative to the Realeaux, and to try the Ceramics in the Furytank 2 i'm hoping to get when i visit Anyvape
