Mind you just to add to this local laws stink everywhere, California, home of clean living, has real solid anti smoking laws, real strong emision laws for cars, yet ciggies are £3 a packet and everyone driving a V6 or V8 car, it's down to tax and what we can get out of you, usual goverment thing. And as veg importer I was appalled at prices of vegtables, despite driving hundreds of miles through production fields, locals agreed with this.

It's weird, I was in Croatia last year, within 30 minutes of arriving found vape shop, met lot of local vapors, yet under 3 euro a packet for stinkies there, just returned from California, the home of vaping I was lead to understand, vapors as rare as rocking horse s**t. Who can work it out ???? Think it just depends where you are locally.

Due to desperate times in last week my istick was charged overnight unguarded on a 2 A charger, goes against all my rules, but was no problem until I misthreaded it and ended it's life.
You read all these horror stories, but think nothing of slinging phone on charge overnight, travel abroad with various voltages, still stick everything on charge for hours (ok thier hotel burns down not your house). I think lot of paranoia about charging, some quite rightly (the £1 charger from ebay has got to be iffy), but if you got correct and good quality stuff relax a little. I'm no electrical expert though. !!!
I'll report if my house burns down tonight lol.

Due to my dead isticks, I ordered a new 40 TC model (no interest in TC) from china so bit of a wait, then my backup MVP went no, so back to second backup Vamo V2, no good, sugar I thought must be the batteries, searching through gear for new ones found 4 X 18350's 2 X 18650's and a brand new Vamo V5, so keep making those cheap impulse buys, one day it pays off lol.

I have 2 Istick 20w bought in boom time of Dec 2014, details as follows:-
Black one, been my workhorse since arrival, great little box, still giving 8 hours use after charge, I stupidly done the thread in.
Blue one, was held back to take on holiday September 2015, never held charge that well, after 3 weeks refuses to play, will sort of charge then discharge, this could be easy fix for those who know or just a me problem.
I'd like these to go to someone who can use them for spares or recycling to help others here (we did have member that done that, but he cannot be named now), no postage costs wanted, just do not want them to go in bin when they could help others through members kindness. Please bear with me as to when posted (lol looking for way to slip them in companies post, and it's my company so no fraud there), and will be sent in recycled jiffy bag, ok i'm tight lol.
First to PM gets if got valid reason to use them.

You may be onto something mart, but there again..lol. I very rarely have a problem to be honest and I vape very high VG based juice too. Just seems since I got this new batch of Boges the problems seemed to start. I checked for cracks in the tanks, bought new batteries and using my usual juice. However, vaping can be a bit of a mystery. It's not the same as buying a packet of ciggies and knowing everytime you smoke one it's going to be guaranteed that you won't have a problem lol. There was a problem about 3 years ago with boges, I had about 40 in order, whole packets DOA, but of course could not find out until use, at same time I had order from another maker, just 5 to try, also had same problem, I contacted supplier (HC) knowing I was well out of time of reporting (you cannot test 40 on arrival), they were great and gave fair credit and gift on next order (ok crappy case). There was a problem with Boge, sure it can be googled or found here. MP

Put all the goodies in my FT cart only to find because I have add a full size Nautilus that I have to pay via Bitcoin whatever that is. So, bought the copy one instead. Hopefully it's ok. in future the trick is to buy something else the same price, complete the order, pay with paypal, then before its packed/shipped cancel and accept store credit and then use that to buy the paypal phrohibited item ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Thats a new one on me, thanks for heads up.

I think PP and EB run by failed MP's (not me lol), how many times have you heard we'll ban this, make you better off, do this, do that, and f**k all changes. If you cannot run a country, get a job with them lol.
And I've never had a problem, with companies that only sell gear for us and only take PP payments, with a few disputes settled as well.

Here time limited, see my other threads why, but 2 dead isticks so in urgent need for new one, onto FT, my always place to go, but could not understand after search why one was $32 and other $28, so bit of looking found out cheaper has no manual, adapter, charging lead etc, suits me, it's replacing 2 anyway, then, no black ones available, so i've got something on the way, it's 40 W TC and genuine, but got to end of tether on colour, so surprise when it arrives. Just to add paypal striped me on exchange rate, so another £0.60 wasted lol.
MP
It was just over £18 at end, thats cheap but arrgghhhhh.
So now the MVP 2 i'm using with a mind of it's own has to do the trip until they deliver, shakey days here and a permanant charge lead in pocket.

You may find weather affects your vaping, it does me, just had 3 weeks away hot weather, vaped about half my normal use of juice and did not enjoy it that much, also complete opposite few years ago was in bad freezing conditions for four days, juice got too thick to use (I use high VG), try a few days not vaping much and maybe you'll enjoy it much better on return to normal use. Then I maybe talking rubbish lol (normal).

I've got 2, bought them last December when the rush was on, original was going great 9 months later, the other (also original) left in box as new to take on holiday in September, failed, started 8 hours on a charge, within a week was down to two, well used one carried on like a trooper (eight hours charge minimum), until last week and I crossed threaded it, silly me. So the originals can vary, not a lot of advice, just letting you know.
