I'm more dog than cat but love animals, next to house is alleyway where a smashing fat cat sits on the fence, always stop to give fuss and he goes mad, month ago tickling behind ear, he decides to roll on back, FFS his on a 1 inch wide fence, lucky other hand was free and caught him. Do they learn...NO, he done exactly the same thing this week. He'll be out of lives soon at this rate lol.

All credit to FT they offered to replace it, but need my one back first, which leaves problem as due to bad luck even my backup backups have gone to makers heaven, think i'll order a 30w then hopefully get this one replaced. Life on the end of a USB lead at moment lol.

I cannot see that being good enough to turn a dead engine. I'm in same position, my second car has V8 engine and stands for weeks with no use, even the commercial charger/starter I have refuses to provide enough power to spin it up and I find jump start the only way. It's annoying, the battery in my car is mounted in a stupid place and is hours of work to remove it, and the manufacturers have advised not jump starting it as the damage it could cause is more than the cars worth. Catch 22 situation !!

Thanks BobsbeerI've decided after typing above that i'll send FT a "polite" email, not complaining but questioning, my 20w had same use pattern but definatly lasted a lot longer, and 4 half hours charging seems strange. MP PS it's up to 5 now and still charging

I replaced my 2 dead 20 w versions with a genuiene one from FT, but it definatly seems a bit duff. My original 20W could make up to 48 hours on one charge when new, and was still giving 8 after 10 months of hard use, the second one failed miserable from day 1, used for 3 weeks and given away. This new 40 w one (I vape 3 ohm at 9.5 w) is useless, 8 hours if lucky and today four and half hours charging and still saying not fully charged !!!
Opinions please, should I complain, or just write it off and look at other devices not Eleaf ?
It's bloody anoying, I wrote another thread saying that isticks died, then all backups decided to follow, at this rate be back to the lavatube buried in a hidden cupboard somewhere !!!!!

It's a slightly different subject, but these companies are useless. 3 times last week I tried booking Ryanair flights (who I've used lots of times), 3 frustrated calls to Ryanair, the only response was either book it online, which I couldn't or we'll take booking on phone but will cost double, 5 minutes later booked my flights on Easyjet. Low and behold next day my inbox flooded with adverts from Ryanair (and I'm careful with those tick boxes). So they would not take my booking but managed to harvest my contact details !!!!!!

Just got my above through, all credit to FT for fast delivery (under 3 weeks is good in my book for anything with battery).
Couple of questions I need help with, due to it arriving in work I've got no box or manual. Do these work same as the old 20's you need less power than a normal VW, I used to use 5,5W on the old 20 and 9.5 on anything else, struggling to find sweet spot on this (ok it's first day). Also the buttons are buggering me a little as i'm left handed, but did see somewhere you can reverse it all for us awkward sods.
Any help be good.

I had one of those in pub garden in Greenwich, everyone smoking, me only vapor, but this guy kept looking at me and coughing a bit to loudly, in the end he decided to ask me to put that out, cant I replied it's not alight, he looked perplexed, finished his drink and left. Was not smelly juice (dekang tobacco) and fairly obvious I was not smoking (MPV with a tank). Some people are just stupid, thats life !!!

Most of those everyday if you work in a wholesale fruit market. Well not everyday.
Should have shown the immigrants storming the channel tunnel every night, this does not get filmed but will become big reality when food becomes short, we cannot find lorries prepared to travel through Calais now, this week we already over 100 tonnes short of produce to be shipped, it's serious and not a utube issue when no food arrives.
Sorry to sour funny vid
