What the hell !! Why are all the dudes leaving all of a sudden ?? ??? Dangit, you gals need to stop bullying all the guys and scaring them away all the time !! Ladies, this is not a Hen Night, and just because we are extremely handsome with perfectly toned bodies, does not mean you can treat us like pieces of meat which you chew on and spit out as desired !! MEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS, NOT SEX OBJECTS, AND WE DESERVE SOME RESPECT AROUND HERE !!

Hear hear for the Screwdriver! Well said Raggy. I have been vaping with the the SD1 from Trog for most of this year and am delighted with it. I just replace the atty every 2 weeks or so, change the battery in the morning and evening and drip away. No problems whatsoever, I can't be bothered looking around for anything else, why would I need to do that? It is reliable which allows me to get on with my life instead of faffing around with the latest gadgets which might or might not work properly. I can't argue with that babe !! I know people who still use a 5 year old Nokia phone - simple, sturdy and dependable !! But most peeps upgrade every year to enjoy the improved technology like Media Players, Sat Nav, Camera, etc etc etc ....... Given the choice between an old Nokia (SD!) and a new iPhone (Ego!) ....... I think most peeps would give their money to Steve Jobs !!

Well put Raggy In addition, I had a WetBox. Is is NOT a mod I would recommend to anyone else due to the poor build quality - drop it once and you would have a pile of plastic splinters with a little squeezy bottle and a scruffy heap of silicone. They are notorious for having a dodgy switch - it is flimsy and not up to regular use. There are other juice feed box mods of superior quality and before anyone else reads Perfectionists recommendations and goes to buy one, I urge you not to bother! Very true, but I was talking about good value Mods with unique features and functionality ...... and don't forget, the Wetbox has an army of loyal followers !! Wetbox = made of plastic but a good intro to Juice Feeders and only $40-$50 - the Pufftronic UMP is even better but over double the price !! Little Sister = again made of plastic but a great way to easily try Variable Voltage Vaping (VVV!) and only about $60-$70 ....... getting rave reviews !! The NEW Precious = the most exciting Ecig to hit VaperWorld ever !! Does everything and has everything - including a kitchen sink !! (Raggy will now state that he does not believe it has a kitchen sink! ) By the way, have you posted about your bad experience with the Wetbox before, so that newbies are made aware ??

Well said raggy My preference for the SD is based on my experience with it - it is simple,it works and it is very durable. As I type I'm holding an MK1 SD bought in April 2009 which has been in daily use since then. I have never had to mend/replace anything - I just buy it atties and batteries... You're quite right dude, but if you were a newbie today, looking for a Batty Case Mod, would you get this mildly attractive chick = or would you buy one of the new hot sexy nymphs from Super-T or PureSmoker ?? forcedfuel50.fatcow.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Precise/precise44.jpg[/img]

The Screwdriver was one of the first ever "Mods" way back when Noah was building his Ark !!. i dont believe thatMan, you should believe that - everybody knows that Noah (even though he probably didn't exist!) was a hardcore Vaper who used to charge his batteries by sticking them to the top of a tree and waiting for lightening to strike ...... in fact even the animals on the Ark used to Vape because it helped them get over the depression of it raining all the time ....... oh, and as well as the Ark, Noah built a time-machine so he could travel to 2010 and buy his Juice from James !! Bro, the Tornegoriva does the same with even fewer problems !! Mate, most peeps just Vape until they can't Vape no mo !! Running a Lion batty below 20% charge kills the number of cycles it can handle - and like I said, you only get a couple of hours of decent output voltage before it slides down to nominal ....... once again, my Ego Wins !! Geezer, the Tornegoriva has proven itself to be very reliable - and much easier to use !! My Ego Wins again !! Chap, the Tornegoriva looks just like a cigar and is quite classy - the SD looks like a contraption from outer space !! Dang, my Ego Wins once more !! Exactly playa, temporary sale prices are irrelevant - Lindsay asked about a full priced SD which costs 70+ squid ....... Rivas can be had all the time for about £20 direct from China ....... guess what, my Ego just can't lose !! Homey, there are probably more Tornegorivas sold globally in one week, than all the SD's ever sold since Noah !! Sure, a few peeps have had problems with them - but then peeps have had problems with the SD too !! I think we can call this one a draw !! That's true gangsta, but then Ecig tech is constantly improving so I'm happy if I get one full years hassle-free use out of my Riva, which only cost me peanuts ...... still, ya got me, the SD wins this round !! Sorry me old sunshine, but that is incorrect - even with a drastically smaller user base, the SD has more complaints than the Tornegoriva ....... my Ego Wins !! Slow down Ragadocious !! The SD was the best dang Ecig on the market back when it was launched ....... all I'm saying is that it's been superseded by better gear now, hell even the DSE clone version has improved upon it !! It did show the way for simple Battery Mods, but the "market" is still very much dominated by mainstream devices like the Tornegoriva ....... why are you so anti a product that is probably the most popular Ecig on Earth today ?? In short, the Screwdriver is still a very good device - but the Tornegoriva is better !! Phew, thank God my Ego didn't get dented ?!

well thats one opinion. but IMO complete rubbish, for too many reasons to deal with right now. raggy Alright alright !! I was only saying to Lindsay that the Tornado was a better bet than the Screwdriver ...... I didn't burn your house down or punch your mother in the face !! Dude !!

Wot, I've just bought some M401 atties from LF and can't get the first one to work. Abe tried to be helpful (even at midnight!) but he's away now until Friday. What problems are you having babe ?? Has LF sent you genuine M4's or cheap knock-offs ?? SmokeJuice is not only a Rip Off Merchant - he's also an utter imbecile whose "copied" Jeopardising-Jasons dangerously retarded idea of calling E-cigs, "Nicotine" devices ....... yet people still buy from them both, so obviously many Vapers actually want the Government to intefere don't they ....... I'm right here !! Why is Hopelesss an "ex-member" ?? ???

Great thread babe ....... but ya know what would be far better ....... making extra sections on the forum to cover 510 based Vaping, 901 based, 401 based, Mods and Juice !! Moving all the relevant threads to the correct section would help organise the place better and make it easier to navigate and more accessible to newbies etc ....... just an idea Chrissie, hope you won't go all "Paradise James" on me for making a positive suggestion !!

This is an essential aspect of Vaping which needs to be fully researched in clinical peer reviewed studies. The damage cigarettes do takes decades of use to appear – there is always the possibility that E-cigs could be the same ...... and even any minor issues should be looked at seriously and resolved before Vaping hits prime-time ...... However, collating nothing more than confusing “anecdotes” from people who may just be mistaken or hypochondriacs or just plain newbies who are unsure of what they are doing ...... is only going to sway the results against Vaping and give more ammunition to those who want to suppress it ...... not to mention there could well be people who will deliberately offer negative symptoms to cause unnecessary concern and put further "evidence of harm" right in to the hands of the Anti-Vaping lobby ...... But most importantly ...... is it really wise to start drawing attention to this just when the frikkin MHRA decision is only days away from being announced ?? I wonder whose genius idea this could possibly be ...... a supremely intelligent and highly qualified professional, who has a background working in a Government and/or Corporate environment at a very senior level, with legal experience and medical expertise, perhaps ...... or could it be someone who has none of the above attributes ?? Looks like Clueless-Kate is off her medication again ...... or is secretly in cahoots with Tobacco/Phrama ...... who am I kidding, it’s probably both .......

Intriguing ....... personally I'd have to do some research on these peeps first to see if they are genuine, and to make sure their idea doesn't have the possibility of back-firing .......

As usual, the Yankee Doodle Dandies are making a mountain out of a molehill !! The FDA can very easily bury E-cigs completely if they (really!) wanted to - but all they have done here is given a few Vendors a slap on the wrist and told them to get their shit together !! As far as I'm concerned, this is worth celebrating not whining about !! Still, it's a very interesting move ...... they are obviously using the old "boil the frog" routine and have very cunningly increased the temperature slightly in a very reasonable manner, while not too overtly displaying their real agenda ...... I wonder what Judge Leon The Assassin will make of it ?? No doubt this is a small step towards pushing through "compliancy" legislation in the future, which will be deliberately more invasive and of course so expensive that it effectively "regulates" all the little guys out of business ...... leaving the field wide open for the Big Boys to monopolise, as has always been the plan ...... Possibly they could use similar yet more stringent arguments to "ban" the import of Chinese products ....... naturally this would be welcomed by all the Yank dealers who will have an orgasm at the potential profits to be had ....... but after the applause has died down, will eventually be made much stricter and extended to cover US goods as well ....... can't wait to see what "influence" this will have on the MHRA decision coming up soon ......

Dripping directly on to a 510 atty does five things : 1) It makes you buy useless Drip Tips (which you could make yourself quite simply by cutting off the end of a Cartridge!) 2) It shortens the lifespan of the atomiser (and very easily ruins auto batteries!) 3) It leaks all over the place so wasting Juice (and forcing you to carry around a bunch of tissues like a little kid with a runny nose!) 4) It will randomly produce hot "spits" of Juice (that will almost make you puke!) 5) It will increase the number of "bad drags" you take (that will choke you half to death!) Basically Drip Tips are a pointless Yank invention ...... which has been promoted heavily by Vendors because they know it will bring them more sales in attys, battys and juice ....... don't fall for it !! Now the smart way to "Drip" a 510, is to pull out your Cartridge and drop Juice straight in to the filler and then replace ....... all the benefits but with none of the drawbacks !!

The Screwdriver was one of the first ever "Mods" way back when Noah was building his Ark !! It has been far surpassed by the new generation of E-cigs like the Ego and Riva ...... really, the only Mods worth getting currently are the WetBox, Little Sister and of course the amazing new Precious !! Pretty much all the other Mods out there are nothing more than fancy battery cases with no extra features or functionality ...... The Ego/Riva models have circuitry to regulate the current, which does drop the voltage slightly (so making your atty last longer) but keeps power consistent to the last puff, instead of the usual drop off curve that Lion batteries normally produce ....... they also have an automatic cut-off to let you know when to recharge as completely discharging Lion cells really kills their longevity ....... They don't need any extra chargers or batteries or "maintenance kits" ...... there are no problems with losing clips or springs, no need to keep anything lubricated or polished ...... it's simple and hassle free Vaping !! They are also far more compact and elegant so don't make you look like a wierdo when Vaping in public - which is important as we all should be missionaries trying to spread E-cigs far and wide and bring more people on board the Vape Train !! Finally, they are more cost effective in the long run, as you can pick up a Riva Starter Kit for as little as £20-25 squid now ...... those two batteries should easily last you a full year, by which time a new and better model will be available for you to buy !! In short, "Mods" are no longer the smart way to Vape like they used to be - and the Screwdriver is one of the oldest and most outdated pieces of kit around ....... I'm afraid to say it doesn't really have any virtues at all anymore !!

I make a casual comment about Haircuts and the thread goes careering off topic !! It's a good job I didn't say I spend more on Condoms than Vaping - God knows where that would have led !! what are these attys that cost £10 for 3 and last 4 months that perfectionist mentions? or am i missing something. raggy.......... You're missing a lot dude !! allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=250&page=5#15371I bought a job lot from Health Cabin ages ago - she has since stopped stocking them, as have many dealers - not because they are a bad product but because it makes far more money to sell expensive short-lived atty's rather than cheap ones that last almost forever !! Capitalism at it's finest !! If you wanna buy in bulk try these guys = www.e-liquid.cn/catalog/index.phpOr of course good old HG = www.heaven-gifts.com/gallery-76.htmlOr the cheapest I've found is ECS = www.e-cigarette-supply.com/However Chrissie's link to LF is probably the way to go as the prices are about the same when ya use igetchas discount code - glad to see someone else in the UK selling these instead of just IntelliRipOff !! By the way 4 months is actually quite conservative for these badboys, I'm still Vaping one that I've had since last Christmas, I kid you not !! If you're a dripper, you can make your own Drip Tip by simply slicing off the end of a cart - they perform beautifully like this with great vape and throat hit and the best flavour of any atty I've tried (and I've tried em all!) If you like cartridges, they'll work better by taking out the filler and using a bit of green scourer pad as a cap ....... I've found the best Juice for these is a 50/50 mix of PG and VG and you might wanna bump up the Nic strength as the throat hit is milder when using carts ....... Vape On Playa !!
