I don't think I have ever seen a multimeter. I certainly don't know how to use one but I need to buy one. A Google search shows me that the world is awash with them but they come in all shapes and sizes and can do allsorts. Can someone, please, point me to an idiot-proof multimeter suitable for checking AW IMR batteries (and I haven't a clue what AW IMR means except that they're the batteries for my Provari).

Gosh, Romelee, you're neat. My stuff is all over the place in plastic bags, jiffy bags, drawers and places I've forgotten about. I bought a plastic five drawer storage thing but I rarely find anything I need in there because I never put anything back where I got it.

That's clever Romelee. I think I've seen boxes like that in the diy stores. Never thought of checking to see if the dividers were adjustable. Could have lots of uses. I'm buying no more for at least a month. Sometimes I swear I can hear my mother's voice in my ear telling me I'll follow a crow for miles to catch a crust of bread for all the must have stuff I buy and never use. Vaping paraphernalia could start a whole new line in clutter.

Wow! That's cheap, and free postage too. Good to note for future reference. |

Yes, having a vendor nearby is very handy. There's one near me. He doesn't have a shop but I was able to collect some ejuice when my supplies were low. A walk-in shop would be great, although it must be hard for shops to turn a profit with all the online competition.

Many thanks to everyone for all your help. I ordered two of the storage boxes from Vape Escape as soon as Ewol posted the link so that should give me plenty of room for my six batteries. Trouble with buying cheap bits and pieces is that I always feel compelled to buy more stuff to justify the postage costs. Hope that's the end of my spending for a long time.

I never thought of checking for some kind of safety bag for charging, but I suppose that can wait a while. Think I've already spent more than I ought. To be honest I think these charging bags are just a way of getting you to part with your money. Think of all the batteries that get charged every day - not just e-cigs but phones, laptops, tablets, torches, cycle lights, etc - and how many times have you heard of them going bang? Thanks Oneday. I'll hang on to my money. I'm always very careful to keep an eye on my Ego batteries when they're charging and will do the same with the new batteries so I should be safe enough. If I were as cautious about other things in life as I am about ecigs I'd never set foot outside the house - probably never get out of bed. I've been paying too much attention to scare stories. |

I've ordered the storage cases from Vape Escape. I might rummage around the house to see if we have a metal box. Can't be too safe. I never thought of checking for some kind of safety bag for charging, but I suppose that can wait a while. Think I've already spent more than I ought.

Thank you Ewol. I had looked on Vape Escape's website and couldn't find them. I take it the 18490s will fit in the 18650s case, so I'll go ahead and order them. That's me sorted. Thanks a million for replying so quickly.

I have ordered a provari with 3x18350 and 3x18490 AW batteries. I need something to store the batteries safely. Can anyone, please, suggest a suitable storage case or bag. Links to vendors would be really helpful.

I dunno Dolly. I only want a phone for calls and text messages and smartphones seem a bit expensive for that. I'll have to think about it. Hope you don't have to wait too long to get sorted. This thread has prompted me to change my ebay password. I hardly ever use ebay (only started since I got the ecig) but I have heard warnings that it's advisable to change passwords on such sites regularly. (Wonder how people remember all these passwords since you're not supposed to write them down.)

Thanks Dolly and Kev. No chance of me ever getting an iphone. The very look of them scares the daylights out of me. I'm hanging on to my little old Nokia for dear life. My sister got a samsung something recently and loves it, which left me a bit peeved cos I like her to think that I'm a lot more tech savvy than her - a bit on the style of a kid who can spell cat talking down to one who hasn't learned the alphabet.

Thanks Jen and Chrissie for your advice. I might try Tesco when the time comes but will continue nursing the old one as long as I can cos I hate getting used to a new phone.
Sorry, Dolly, for hijacking your thread. I'll bow out now and keep my fingers crossed that all gets sorted for you soon.

Sorry, Dolly, about the hassle you've had but glad it looks like you will get it sorted.
My question is off topic but I just have to ask what's the advantage of buying a phone on ebay? The reason I ask is that my phone is on its last legs. I'm only short of holding it together with cellotape and elastic bands. I'm nearing the stage where I'll have to replace it but I thought I would have to buy from a mobile phone shop where they transfer the numbers and hook me up with a service provider such as 02. How do you manage the service provider, etc. when buying from ebay?
