Thanks so much guys, the advice is much appreciated. I think I'm going to try a few diff 'ends' on my 650 batt and see how I go. I thought this lark was meant to be cheaper than normal fags! It's a hella lot more confusing! Yeh but you will soon get the hang of it, and once you have found your sweet spot, i,e right juice, delivery system and watts (voltage vs ohms) and you will be saving bucket loads, as long as shineytitus doesn't get you. Currently I have saved £87 on tobacco but spent £106 on vaping gear lol, but I'm nearly there! |

Thanks for pointing this out jay, but now it causes me a dilemma, do I ninja this in? Or do I let it sail by and wait until I'm back in the black? Hmmmm.... Now Matt, this is always my downfall  So scared that I miss a bargain I go into full Ninja mode! It really isn't necessary though, there will be other bargains  Yeh indeed. I will have a job hiding this from the other half  . Wife: "What's that darling" Me: "Oh haven't you seen this before, it's a case for my ego twist" Not confident she would buy that, although someone did have an excuse like "I won it" lol. |

Quite right sjs. I too started on a cig-a-like and quickly upgraded to my ego twist. But if they weren't available in the shops I would still be smoking now.
The more widely available e-cigs/PVs are, the better it is for everyone (apart from big pharmas and of course The Chancellor of the Exchequer lol) including non-smokers and children of smokers. And of course vapers themselves as the more there are, the harder it will be for e EU to impose what they are looking to impose.

A bigger battery will enable it to have a higher voltage longer, and last longer between charges. TBH the next upgrade from your 650 would be either a 'spinner' or a 'twist' which maintain the same voltage rather than starting high, and getting lower as the battery runs out of charge. The twist or spinner also go from 3.2v-4.8 which you can adjust by a spinner or twist knob at the bottom.
In regards to clearos or carts, I have only used carts on my e-lites before I upgraded to my ego twist. So not a fair comparison but I do prefer clearos. I have a Kanger T2 that I've had for 2 weeks, apart from occasionally a small amount leaks into the mouth piece, I have no issues with burning out or dry spots.
But I know people on here highly rate the mini nova or an evod that would fit very nicely on your current battery or an ego twist/spinner if you decide to upgrade your battery.

No surprise really when you think about it many of the e cig websites are operating from somebodys front room!  Yes exactly. Why not share the rent and other expenditures, and lets be honest, vaping shops take up very little room in the warehouse and shop floor. It's a win win. |

My local one operates inside a computer/business systems shop. Also has an online site. Very good shop IMO but doesn't have much in the way of mods and things, despite vaping an Evic.

I will try my best to get to this meet. Will have to look at train times though but it should be gravy.
Will double check the the Mrs though. So don't have me down as attending yet...

Sorry yes that's what I meant, the regs are in place, but aren't being tested as regularly as they probably should be.
Also the law should be over 18 to buy them, and no advertising on TV before 8pm. I think the main grey area is vaping in a public place. I think if we get it passed as a consumer product, I think the law will change in line with smoking, which is annoying but hey, at least we will be able to vape still.
The other option will be that it's a medicinal product and that will mean if they ban e-cigs they would have to ban sprays and those types of NRT's. But lets be honest, a large amount of places don't allow e-cigs to be used indoors.
It's a fine line but if that's the outcome there could be far far worse eventualities.

Clive Bates was quoted in the middle there, he is a anti-tobacco campaigner saying these should be a consumer product but with stricter guidlines. I fully agree this is the way to go, just insure what is going in is right, make sure all bottles are child safety capped (pretty much all are I think ( but make it official)) and generally up how stringent the testing is. I think that would be a fair and totally safe comprise. Yes the price will go up a bit, but if that's nothing in comparison. You think electronic cigarettes should be regulated as medicine? Are you sick then? It would be a catastrophe for electronic cigarettes to be regulated as a medicinal product and would see the death of vaping as we know it. It would also mean many would be put out of business over night and vaping costs would go through the roof. Only the big pharmacuetical companies would be able to afford the certification necessary. Juice would only be available in pre-sealed cartomisers from the chemists and you would not be able to buy nicotine juice to mix your own as it would no longer be available. I can understand why on the surface you may think it is a good idea, but those who vape really need to look under the surface of what it would actually entail. Clive Bates is a firm supporter of our cause and if interested you should follow his blog. www.clivebates.comPersonally I do not see myself as sick and I'm not medicating. I think you have mis-understood. I never once said I want it as a medicinal product. I said they should be a consumer product, but woth some tighter guidlines. I think I'm right in saying every member on here doesn't want Joe Bloggs somewhere putting who knows what into something we are about to vape, or taking shortcuts on producing cartos or clearomisers that would make them dangerous. So what I'm saying is have stricter guidlines. So in between where we are now and it being a medicinal product. EDIT: I have now edited my first response to make it clearer in what I was saying to avoid further confusion. |

I fully agree this is the way to go, just ensure what is going in the liquid is correct, make sure all the bottles have a child safety cap (pretty much all of them are already ( but make it official)) and generally increase how stringent the testing is (but not to the extent of medicinal testing).
I think that would be a fair and totally safe compromise. Yes the price will go up a bit, but that's nothing in comparison to it warranting a medicinal certificate.
