If you don't like the look of the telescoping ones there's always ones with interchangeable tubes like the Poldiac. May want to consider whether you like bottom buttons or not. I'm not overly keen on them myself, although it depends on how good/easy the locking mechanism is. Stainless steel is more durable than aluminium, which is prone to scratching, although its much lighter, which I like.

Yeah no problems here but I'm cautious. The only e-cig related problems I heard of are from stacked batteries, from batteries getting shorted in a pocket (keys perhaps) and from problems when charging.

Please don't charge unattended guys, this includes Ego batteries too (there have been reports of them venting and igniting on charge) I've shorted an Ego with a dodgy charger and it smelt pretty rank. No flame thankfully.

I'm not aware of another cone being able to fit these, nothing cheaply available has a similar design. Gold plating is possible yeah, and with that material it would likely last. Scott has mentioned it on his videos, I believe he gold plated the Bulli. Although thinking on the cost of that (I don't know how much) and if your that keen, maybe its worth putting that money towards a Kayfun. After all its their innovation everyone has been enjoying. I suspect that design is what is giving the quality result. I know there really expensive, I couldn't splash the cash on one tomorrow, and not always available but...

This sounds, really good I need to get around to setting it up.

Yeah I've had to stretch the spring before when it stopped working, gets it back in action and makes it a bit better. Doesn't solve it completely for me unfortunately.
I'll message Sadie about the offer though thanks

I use the Panasonics, which are small for 18650s, apparently there's no problem with efests. For anyone else with spring problems, I remember a post from UKV now, I'd forgotten about. Someone went to Maplin, they let him look through there recycled battery bin and he got a spring from a lantern battery, which fixed it fine.

Cheers for the tip I'll give that a go. Upon visual inspection, it appears sunken, hopefully that will fix it. The threads I've crossed are the tube threads on the first tube section, not the 510 ones.
Glad to hear the spring issues are fixed on the new model. I heard about the overheating issue on another post, its not affected me at all, so I can't comment on that really. I was a bit annoyed with the cheap/crap spring on mine. If I can get it working again, I'll replace the spring with the SB hot spring when it becomes available. Got mine 2nd hand (was originally from the Irish store I think), the seller was great, and offered me the reciept for a return, no complaints there at all

I'd not considered a return for the spring though, less hassle for me to fix it myself, before the current failure. It just irritates me that it wasn't product tested well enough to identify the spring problem on the first batch. I do hear that some vendors have supplied V1 owners with a better spring, kudos to them.

Agreed its a budget buy and if it only lasts a while its not necessarily too bad. Though with many people on a tight budget, its nice to get things that last.

Ian: the 510 connectors are pretty cheap from Stealth Vape I think. If you've got a soldering iron, it should be a pretty easy fix to get the trusty tin back into action.
