When I started, I used a tiny passthru with three voltage settings. It worked for 3 or 4 months before giving up the ghost. All my others still work, a gremlin with my second hand V2 Provari but ZMax 18 months old, FT Vamo 1 year and Roberts Robust 9 months all fine, I've never dropped any on the floor, hardly ever knock them over and use mainly gennys so rarely need to unscrew them from the mod.
So what are the main causes of failure?

I bought one from Cloud9, fits fine. VapeGear also stock them. Either way a tad more than I'd like to pay.

Nuclear war, global warming, MRSA, the banking system, Starbucks, can't think of the other 197.

My betting is that it won't reduce the gunking by much and if it did there would probably be a significant loss of flavour. I'd be happy if you prove me wrong and there's only one way to find out. So good luck.

Since it was fine before, the chances are the voltage drop is in one place. Chain vape or just fire it a bit and the place where the voltage is dropping will get warm enough for you to feel it with your hand.

They actually stated that as their reason. They also quoted about the 2ml tanks allowed and said they've got a new range coming in, so my guess is it will only be 2ml or less tanks. Thanks for you post Toots. As I read it the 2ml limit on the size of tanks or cartridges applies specifically to single use, non refillable tanks and cartridges. As far as refillables are concerned I have heard the maximum size is to be 1ml but in the document Fred linked what it says is "...maximum sizes for refill containers, tanks and containers should be set" - from the last part of (38). Anyone have more information on this? Also when I tried to cut and paste maximum sizes for refill containers, tanks and containers should be set from the document Fred linked, I found I couldn't select the whole phrase using my cursor which seems decidedly odd. I wonder if somebody else could try just to satisfy my paranoia.

Shipping by sea maybe good news... it avoids Langley - once it's there you have no hope but to wait, Post Office will say they don't have it, it must be with customs, customs will say they have no record of it must be with Royal Mail. Edit Turns out all incoming mail from overseas (maybe not EU) goes through Langley.

Get yourself an AGT and some .32 Kanthal and some 400 mesh (the thicker the Kanthal the less likely to get hotspots). Once you have it wicked and coiled, that's it for six months of faff free vaping. Take the coil out and dry burn when you can see the gunge, quicker than changing a coil head.
