I guess it is down to Chinese manufacturers making changes without calling it a new version. The V1 weighed 143 grams (PBusardo video). The V1 had the pips on the slant and the V2 had them just below the slant. Wanting a coloured SS V2 mini with the vertical lines cut in below the level of the fire button.

University of California, more like the University of kickbacks from pharmacuetical companies welcome, faculty of we don't care how many people we kill. They're always inventing negative stories about ecigs.

I haven't seen the full report but my interpretation of the figures is this: Of the 3000 smokers who had not tried e cigarettes 750 had quit. Of the 3000 who had tried ecigarettes 1200 had quit. If more than 600 out of the 3000 who had tried ecigarettes had only tried lookalikes then that would mean that most people who try 2nd generation devices quit.
Some surveys in the past, looking at patches and gum have distinguished between those simply using patches and those using patches in conjuction with a support group or on a support program. Its a shame they didn't investigate the success rate of those who had tried ecigarettes and joined a forum. I would bet that success rate for that group (ie us) would be more than 75%.

Dual coil set up for a genny really needs to be two wicks side by side, I can't understand why so many manufacturers put them on opposite sides. I'm happy with a single wick so no big deal for me.

Something like this may be the reason: That would be the Swiss Post in transit steeping service.

I got a couple when they were only 25 Zlottys. It's a LavaTube mini, PBusardo did a review. Their RY4 Gold is my favourite juice - it has a much stronger baccy flavour than other RY4s. Taramisu I like and lemon from them is more lemony and less fizzy or lemon meringue pieish than others. I wouldn't buy batteries from eBay. Too many cases of them selling fakes. eBay takes no action and the vendor's rating stays at 98%.

You probably won't get it the day after it reached Heathrow, it can spend over a week in the customs shed.

I know it seems to be business as usual for battery sales but as I understand it the Royal Mail has blacklisted them. I'm stocking up while they are still getting through, ordering 4 at time with nothing else in the order. FT prices are less than half what I'd pay here and if one package doesn't make it well too bad. If it's the first order that doesn't make it then I'll see if I can buy a bunch and have them sent DHL.

I boughy a Kamry - head only and one of these drip tips www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=8594 I ended up having to pay DHL so I could have got it at about the same price from Pinkmule who have the drip tips too. I have it set up with my mini DID from MMVapors half price sale with a 1.6 Ohm coil and Inawera RY4. It looks civilised compared to a Vamo or ZMax. It's my first unregulated and it will take some getting used to - normally powering up and down frequently. Pretty chuffed especially after a vapemail drought since January. Edit a big plus is that the connector on the Kamry allows you to get the air hole in the right place which matters with a genny.

It is also worth bearing in mind that when FT were first selling the VTR they were in the region of 40% less than available anywhere else. It`s competition that keeps prices reasonable. Without that competition the prices in the UK would be a lot more. The world`s shop window is now the internet and that`s what venders have to compete with, wherever they are situated. It is also probably one of the few high growth areas in the retail economy so there is plenty to go round. There are loads of new start ups in the vaping market all the time. I dont feel any guilt when buying from China or any other country. If they want my money they have to be competitive. Quite agree this time last year the UK seemed to be the most expensive place on the planet to buy vaping gear. Many vendors here have a ripoff mentality. When vapers found they could rebuild clearo heads, the Chinese manufacturers saw we liked that and promoted this as a selling point. If they had been UK made. the manufacturers response would more likely have been these devices were not designed to be rebuilt, doing so may be dangerous and they would have set about redesigning them so we would have to buy new heads. The CE4 was superseded long ago but a lot of UK vendors still stock it and you can bet your bottom dollar it's because it is the only one you can't rebuild. I only support British vendors that support me and that is not most of them.

The Smiths vape around their kids, their next door neighbours the Browns don't vape at all but they have a plug in air freshener. Who's kids are exposed to the most carcinogens? The Browns.
