My family are moving across from Redbridge to Thornhill in August and I was wondering if anyone knew if my new local accepts e-cigs? My new local is going to be The Hinkler on Hinkler Road

I didn't catch his name but when I was in there on Friday getting my supply of juice I showed Ian and his new employee the mod I got last week the Smok Sidewinder

I have nearly always used sealed bottom RBA's and they have always been dry as well before going on to RBA's I was using genuine Vivi Novas which never leaked either. I have had times where I had been holding onto my Vamo too long and the battery has got warm but always cooled down nicely when I put the Vamo down

That I really have not figured out maybe a short was happening in the atty which was not agreeing with my Vamo and looking at a Vamo PCB the 'rattlesnake' noise would of been coming from the voltage regulator board directly behind the LCD/button PCB.

All I know is that when I redone the coil that rattlesnake noise stopped

Sorry that may of gone slightly off-topic but could show in a way how sensitive the voltage regulator and pcb in a Vamo is. So maybe there is a heat transference from the voltage regulator to battery if the heat is coming from that end and not the spring end, where as if it is the spring end then there could be problem with the spring causing too much resistance

I have a question, have you ever noticed a 'rattlesnake' sound coming from behind the LCD whilst you are powering an atty?

I got my Vamo from vapeescape.co.uk in January and have had no problems especially as I ordered mine straight after they got the new springs in but on the odd occasion when I have built a SS mesh wick and .20mm kanthal 1.6 ohm coil and there may of been a slight fault with the setup (wick and coil) I would get a 'rattlesnake' noise from the vamo as if it was shorting, yet when I then correct the wick and coil the noise goes.

Also the Panasonic batteries your using are they the CGR18650CH's which are an IMR hybrid if you are using the NCR18650's then it maybe the batteries overheating because they are not IMR/Hybrid's.

Also looking on VaporBreak I would rather cautious as they seem to sell clones and make no note that they are clones so if I was you get yourself a proper spring from vape escape and then retry if it is still the same then VaporBreak have sold you a dud vamo and in which case get 1 from the UK and not from China

Thanks all, I have the opinion especially with kids why spend out £70-£100+ on an atty when a cheap £15-£30 one would be just as good minus the long wait for a individually hand crafted atty. It took me a short while to get the hang of the RBA's especially using SS mesh with the AGA's (hotspot heaven) that is why I want a RSST with it's insulated wick hole and bottom-sealed tank which means the only shorts will happen around the coil rather then the tank or decks.

bomberharris I started vaping around 3 weeks before you did

My name is Gavin and I live in Southampton, This looks to be a good forum, I am new here but been vaping now almost 6 months started on a cheapo 10motions disposable then went over to an eGo (2 eGos) within 5 weeks of using an eGo I went over to a LT 3 weeks later I went to a Vamo. then for my 35th birthday I started on RBA's with 2 AGA T2's, 2 AGA S's and a Phoenix dripping atty then within a couple of weeks got my first mechanical Sigelei Telescope and the quality was ok but I had to adjust it a little. Then just before Easter I got myself my 2nd mechanical mod a rather nice Smok Sidewinder in 18350 size. My joining to this forum started with joining a co-op for the Dream Drawtube which was started by maccafan which will make my 3rd mechanical mod and now I am having to adjust some funds (due to new baby due next month) to get myself a RSST.
