Keep at it, get some .2 or .15 wire and keep trying. Just remember all the failed attempts means you will have had lots of practice at winding so you are almost there with the perfect coil. banging your head on a brick wall may help, but I do not recommend it. Better to go and relax , then give it another go having thought about it. Then walla.. a satisfying vape.

An RCD protected one is not required. The Battery chargers should be double insulated so the RCD is pointless as you are unlikey to ever get a short to ground or you touch a live part. A surge protection extension lead may help give additional protection but again the charger should be designed to cope with surges under the LV directives for mains powered equipment but then we are talking mostly chinese imported products here so throw any directives and safety approvals out the window. So yes surge protection does no harm. The main thing is to buy the well known chargers which are reputed to be good and not any old chinese generic rubbish which is not a well known brand. e.g. buy Nitecore, Xtar etc. Even the so called good ones if you open them up have safety concerns sometimes but are not as bad as the cheapies. Similarly only use quality batteries and dispose of them when the performance starts to reduce noticeably or any other abnormal signs.

Also if I'm reading this right, if you buy a product then review it if it does not already have a review you get 50% back? One way to encourage a 1st review. I expect it has to be a good review...that kind of biases the 1st review but hey ho. I think most vapers are pretty honest with their reviews though.

essexsoulgirl, interesting because I found an issue with the cart as well. If I added something to cart it displayed teh cart etc, but when you comtinue shopping and then withoiut adding anything try and return to teh cart it did not work, so I did teh same, added an item, cart was displayed and then deleted the item. So, Foclecig , looks like a little bug re the shopping cart button.

I little bird has told me focalecig are going to be adding lithium batteries and chargers soon to their site. They have them on their parent website and not included yet on the dedicated ecig site. Do not forget the discount code FOCALECIGINAAEC for 15% discount.

I can't check out, it won't accept my paypal password. I assume it is paypal which will not accept your password. Open a new window and then open paypal and try logging into your account without going via Focalecig buying. This way you can check you account is OK and yoru password works. I suspect you are doing something silly like have 'caps locks' on or actually forgotten your password or using wrong paypal account name (email address). Make sure you always have a secure connection when logging into paypal.

Reading through the HK post notices it looks like HK post are really clamping down in sending 'dangerous' goods and proper filling in of the customs declaration form. This does seem likely as the reason for switching to Singapore post again.

Found this on HK post website under notices. www.hongkongpost.hk/eng/publications/notices/2013/20130910a/index.htm10 September 2013 Delay In Outbound Air Mail Services To safeguard aviation security, Hongkong Post does not accept the sending of air mail items (including Speedpost) that contain dangerous articles such as perfumery products, lighters and lithium batteries. Hence, all mail items entering the Air Mail Centre are subject to x-ray screening. Recently, there is an increasing number of air mail items detected to contain suspected dangerous articles, in particular, lithium batteries, which lengthens the screening process. In this connection, air mail registration service, iMail service and Bulk Air Mail service may be subject to delay. Any inconvenience caused is much regretted.

It is indeed by far the simplest way of mixing. If you end up adding 20% flavouring you can always add the stronger nicotine base to compensate. I vape 10 to 12mg so add one drop nic54 to every 5 drops flavouring to restore the 12 mg, but really its such a small amount its not noticeable. I also do the mixing by weight now using electronic scales but you have to take into account the specific weights of PG and VG.
