Dovpo 4000mah 50W device Ft £37 Dec 15, 2014 0:32:47 GMT

Ugly yes but there's something about it. Kind of sixties look. I like it when they give plenty of info about the output. Sensible way to save money on a 50 Watt device is to have no step down voltage. I'm guessing it will be PWM in which case they should be able to make a perfectly reliable chip for the same price as a Vamo chip.

Which brings me to today's question : Why aren't we seeing 18650, 50 Watt mods at close to Vamo prices? Is there something I haven't thought of? Problems putting a lot of current through a chip?

Sugar in tea or coffee Dec 13, 2014 13:37:20 GMT

No sugar in tea or coffee for me. I have a sweet tooth, have to be V careful at the super market. If sugar weren't fattening I could eat sweet things all day. A favourite is Halva and it isn't real halva for me unless it's sickly sweet. But I don't like sweet juices, haven't found a fruit one that's not too sweet for me, same for anise and... vanilla just awful.

Yes it's cute and a nice price and I want one. But what is point iStick mini? I'm guessing there's an 18350 inside which means 1050mAh is an exaggeration. I get through less than a ml on an 18650. Not much point at home and would need more than one for out and about. So a no from me... but a yes from my clicking finger.

I don't think there will ever be a problem getting hold of mods. For an atty to last many years it needs to be one that doesn't need to be taken off the mod - 510 threads are mortal. So not a bottom filler. I bought 4 DIDS when they were on sale for 44 Euros as my safety net. Something with a hybrid connection should be OK.

Reckon your looking at a mod that will give you 40 or 50 Watts and that means either big bucks or taking a punt. I'm looking for an inexpensive one that does the business, a few contenders but none that have been proven. Sigelei 50 and Smoktech Bec are compromises - not too expensive and not so many issues. For a bit more the GI 2 should be OK as you won't be pushing it near the limit.

Not what you really want but maybe a cheap mech and a good battery are your best bet for now.

Thanks Robbie - look forward to hearing your opinion. But DHL seems a bit much when you will be putting it under the tree and not opening until Christmas day.

My Samsung 25 R s finally got here. I had hoped that by the time they arrived there would be an affordable 40 or 50 Watt mod that was tried and tested but there seem to be a few problems with the chips. This is joining the watch list. Others are

ps A big plus with this is having the power button near the top. You can get a small and expensive like the mini Provari. But what is the point of having a mod small enough to fit in your hand if the position of the fire button means 30 mm is sticking out of your hand. Real bug bear for me.

USB checker FT £3-50 Dec 1, 2014 15:03:00 GMT robby likes this

I bought a USB fan from Fastech which turned out to be a POS, one drip tip broke and a ceramic one needed boring out but this is the only 3 items out of over a hundred. This compares to about 1 in 5 from Argos. The only item I bought from Sainsbury's order and pick up was rubbish as was 1 of the 3 items I got from Tesco's order and pick up. I've added this to my wish list and will wait for the reviews.
