Simply put, I would no longer have a trustfire charger in the house - their charging algorithm is wrong, they fail far too quickly and are just not trustworthy. Like others in theis thread, I would always go for an Xtar or a Pila - their charging algorithms have been tested to be spot on. Well the TR001 is now in the bin.Totally failed spark was coming from a little glass fuse/resistor type thingy. Ordered an Xtar last night from www.safercigs.co.uk.Hopefully be here tomorrow  A fully charged 18650 lasts me all day (nearly) so opted for just the single bay charger for now.My twist+vh dripper will keep me going till then  Thanks for the input ppl  |

I also thought the sound it makes was normal chiller until i seen the flashes but its not the buzzing sound its this bright blue electrical spark.
As the batt gets more charge in it the sparking dies down ???

Been using the trustfire charger for my 18650,For a while there was a slight clicking sound coming from the charger. If the 18650 batts are 3.7v or above the charger clicks away but not loudly and not for long. Problem is when they are below 3.7v its clear its not a click but an electrical spark flashing on the top right of the charger and much louder  ,Picked the charger up and thats when i seen the sparks near the only screw on the back (just beside the power cable connector) Anyone else had this or similar issue with a TR-001 ? Or even a fix for it ? |

Roughly 26-27mls of vanilla custard 14mg from Pixie Juice for swap,Born date 1/10/2012. Jumped in (again  ) and bought a 30ml of this.Even though it smells great and i like to eat custard,I found i dont like vaping it. Swap for up to 18mg but not tobacco flavours or menthol please |

Yeah womble at first it was great then the flavour seemed muted and that cotton taste came through,
No scorch marks on the wick itself.

After loads of re-coils trying to master it my silica wick was running low,So i thought i would give the cotton wick a try... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290657103551?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649I found it easier to wrap the coil with the wick being 2mm but after an hour or so i can taste the cotton,So reverted back to the pre built silica heads that came with the nova. Should i boil this wick and would it kill that cotton taste or am i better persevering with the silica wick ??? (Better learn how to make candles with all this wick if thats the case ) Thanks. |

Jack i have the same LT version and there was no air flow with a vivi nova attached.
Using a 510-510 adapter works great.....or as bluefish says an ego-510 would also fix the problem.

Got the apollo 16mg cherry disposable today,Glad i ordered it its definitely worth the £1.86 postage, Amount of vapour is quite good compared to other disposables and the cherry flavour is very nice.Pen style with glowing orange light at the end.Says upto 500 puffs maybe more around 200 range. It`s only one per person,But certainly worth a try |
