I was looking to buy the BH tobacco next. WHat mg would you recomend . 12mg, 18mg or 24? It would seem you may be in the wrong forum - we here are mostly ex-smokers. You may be need a shisha forum? Sorry if I got it wrong, but do\did you smoke? |

Lol poochops  setadrift - I'd REALLY recommend having a bloody good read of the forum (especially the guide linked to in your welcome PM) as it seems you've been burnt twice already - skycigs and that horrendously expensive kit you (almost) linked. And yes, an e-shisha is different to a proper e-cig and a conventional CIG ; e-shisha contains no nicotine but the other 2 do. As for inhaling, try every way you can think of, and do what works for you - there is no right or wrong way. Personally,I vape totally differently to how I used to smoke, and I DO find it to be an excellent substitute. And, I feel a lot healthier. |

It's unlikely anyone will have any thing to swap for an elite kit jammy , why not pass it onto a smoking friend and give them the 1st step off fags  Don't jump in too quickly - I might be tempted to swap for a sweaty sock, with a hole in the toe But, seriously, Take it to the pub with you, and when folk want a go, let them use it, then have a go on your decent kit, then hopefully, they'll not fall into the same trap of overpriced, underperforming gear  |

Foclecig - even more non-vape stuff added today. Make it very difficult to browse the new stuff - please sort it out

It seems as though the brass bit should be down in the tube, and not visible, but I think the circuit board is too high in the tube for it to fit in properly.
Will take a few more pics before I send it back - its definitely going back though!

Please forgive me if I am talking bollox fred (I dont have a V5), but is the top part a push fit? Have you tried taking the beauty ring off and tapping the top brass bit (510 connector) back in to the top bit of tubing with a bit of wood and a hammer/mallet? See disclaimer below Not yet, but that's where I've kinda got to with Brambles wiggley idea -better be safe &check underneath before squishing it all back together. If its safe to do so,I'll squeeze it together a not in the vise. Hopefully I'll remember to take a few pics in case anyone else has the same trouble. I think this is fixable,as it seems that the thickness of that brass ring may be the same as the excess the 510 sticks out. Thanks all for the suggestions so far |

Brambles - spring wasn't in the base when I stuck a magnet to it But you may have something there with wiggling the top off I've put a ticket in at slowtech, but I'd rather fix it if I can.

Every V5 SS Vamo I've seen has the atty gap, one of the eccentricities of the beast. I'm so used to it I forget it is there. I've not seen the brass like that before though ..............Jag. (You learn something everyday ....) Which is exactly why I can't All I do on mine is unscrew the removable top part once the atty is attached, until it hides the gap. Admittedly, there can sometimes be a small gap, but ALL the pics and YouTube vids I've seen, its nowhere as big as this. |

Try for a refund fred and get the SVD, i know you don't like it but it is a beast and works well, well it did for me anyway. I could get used to the SVD I suppose. Should've got it in the first place  |

NP mate - as I said, Entertainment value 10/10. Think I'll send it back, as I can't be doing with that huge gap (I tend to bounce things off the floor far too often, so need it to sit flush) Reading around the forums I think if you start dropping it the 510 will strip or even worse something inside will fall off, I only use mine at home, but I still like it. Exactly - that's why I want it to sit flush, like it does on my sentinel clone. I've got a couple of ego beauty rings coming, to help strengthen it, but I think this one sticks out TOO far. |

Ss isn't normally magnetic. Martensitic stainless is But that's why I mentioned that the magnetic properties of the base and the tube were inconclusive: But, the stainless issue, is probably secondary, to the fact that the 510 sticks out too far, compared to the top cap - I think this one will be going back from whence it came. The burning question is, do I get a refund or a replacement? You pays yer money, you takes yer chance with China. |

dakgm - where did you find him?  Entertainment value 10/10 Information value 0/10 As he was bleating on for the first 5 mins, I was thinking 'hmm, that 510 looks pretty flush with the top cap, and then, after about 8 mins, he fits a protank to the vamo, and there is no gap - certainly not one as big as the one I posted over on the other thread. I did have to watch the whole thing though, as the bloke is on a different planet. Maybe something to do with his last atty.
