Yea I agree with the points that people might then only rely on the blu tooth and not check the batteries physically, but one use of blu tooth is I guess to tell you when the charge is finished, then again the charger could just make a noise to accomplish this, also I would hope this gives info on the current voltage and rate its charging at, even temperature would be good cos the other chargers do have temp detection built in. Its safer to charge in a lipo sack, thick steel box or similar and on some kinda fireproof material such as a spare tile, as long as the charger doesnt over heat because of the sack for example, but most chargers don't usually depending on the charge speed. So blu tooth could be useful then if the charger is covered, but still best to verify the heat occasionally and actually see if its all charging fine, any weird smells etc. Also would be good to have a smoke detector nearby too.

Would be good if they provided a charger bag with the chargers as I'm sure they'd be cheap to include and sometimes if people get one off ebay they might not be made out of materials that can stand alot of heat.

Yea definitely alot to choose from nowadays, used to just be the AW's that were reccomended years ago and the aa's are great these days too with some holding their charge for ages, decades ago the rechargeable aa's were so bad lol

Hopefully future ecigs will be powered by graphene batteries in the future, sounds like theyre getting close, hopefully they make em in 18650 sizes too physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2010/nov/26/graphene-supercapacitor-breaks-storage-record

Yea I think most are re wraps of something, most likely the ones who will bring out higher drain batteries than the current ones with higher mah would be samsung, sony, sanyo, lg, or panasonic, the aspire one seemed bit pricey too afaik, when you compare with say samsungs from ft

Yea I dunno how long torchy's batteries usually take to arrive but it won't be anything like some arrivivng from ft earlier this year that took 2 months lol
- they do have faster shipping for batteries now though again luckily!

Yea thats true, I guess its not alot more than the itaste mvp 3 pro but temp control too, seems itll be more successful than the original evic hehe

Some use denture cleaning tablets to leave the tanks to soak in too so could be a good alternative or at the same time maybe, theres quite cheap too which is nice!
But hand washing each kayfun v4 part would be so much easier with an ultrasonic cleaner

Hey, I think it depends on whether you want an inbuilt battery or not and also battery life. With the sub box you can charge a few at the same time in the charger and have them ready for when they run out where with the istick itll last longer but once empty would probs need to use another mod for a few hours. Also currently the inclusion of the sub tank means the price is pretty decent of the subox kit although istick 50s have dropped in price a bit from china.

I think both have a relatively flat DC signal which is good, the reviews of the subox seems to say that most attys sit flush but the connector is not spring loaded so some might have a small gap, the included subtank doesnt seem to though. The isticks been around longer so has been tested longer then, I read there may have been issues about autofiring though, but it doesn't seem widespread so hard to tell how reliable/safe in general, but just worth reading around about that if its a concern. Since the subox has just been released theres no info really on whether it could have a similar issue or not. One good thing though for safety with replaceable batteries is if it decides to melt down, you can remove the battery alot easier.

The size is smaller of the subox also but some say the paintwork of the new black and white tank may be able to rub off over time, no idea though!
One thing with the istick 50 and subox is the charge port on the side which means you can charge with the mod standing up, however the itstick 50 has the connector quite high so if there ever is a leak from the tank, it could find its way to the connector in theory, also a possibility with the subox but not as high as the connector is lower down. Maybe thats not a concern for most though, and can be sorted out with a rubber mini usb cover. I also would have preferred the venting of the subox to be on the bottom of the mod, its luckily on the side away from the atty so if theres a leak any liquid won't find its way into the venting area but would have to be careful in the rain for example, I think that can b sorted with some kind of thin sticker though to cover it up but still alow any slight pressure to push through.

I think alot of those safety concerns are not widespread though but just thought I'd mention them

Those high watt vapors like 100 watt+ seem to mainly use drippers, although some tanks can go pretty high too, but the big airflow from some of those dripper really cools the vape down so its not as crazy as you would imagine, also using wire thats very thick requires some high wattage to even create much vapor so you could have a cool vape at say 20 watts in those compared to a kayfun which would not cope at that kind of wattage unless modified maybe.

Also with high watts you can take a short drag like 2 seconds vs maybe 5 seconds from lower watts and still get a tonne of vapor, it all depends on whether the flavor is good when hotter too as some don't taste as good whilst others are better.

Something to note also is with high watts people use high vg juices mainly as high pg would become a bit harsher on the throat, but also depends on whether you want alot of vapor or not too and would need to wick tanks for high vg with less cotton than higher pg.
