I mostly use bing as a search engine now. I can decide for myself if I want my results filtering. Google have a policy now of strict or moderate filtering, the no filtering has disappeared from their options.

I'm hugely disappointed with the quality of mine, I can't do a build on the two I bough to comment on their use. One of them I can't trap .25 ni200 under the screws, I've tried wrapping around the screws but still no joy, the wire slides around as the screws don't seem to trap it. On the other, one of the screws won't undo, it rotates, just won't unscrew.

Really disappointed as I was looking forward to playing with these with temp wire ????

What I'm picking up on this story isn't such a bad thing. The article gives the impression that the majority of the fires are user error in that sub standard cheap equipment is the likely cause.

The figures are only reported cases of batteries going mental but the powers that be can only go on reported or official figures. So, 100 reported fires over 2 years, well let's average that out at 50 a year out of 2,000,000 users. That's a percentage of 0.0025. I know it's still worrying and it would be wonderful if it was zero but I don't find that figure particularly scary.

Pinched from The Guardian.
"Washing machines account for around 600 fires a year, tumble dryers more than 500, dishwashers 460, ovens 350, and fridges and freezers 300."

I know there's many more of these appliances in the UK than there are Ecigs so accident figures may well be expected to be higher but these appliances are meant to have passed strict safety standards so some kind of perspective can be drawn. Another point is that the majority of users of the above appliances will at some point have left the house and left them running. We try and police ourselves and say don't leave Ecigs charging unattended. If everybody took that advice on Ecigs how close to zero fires could we get ?

Hi all I'm wondering where people source there ni200 with reasonable postage ? Stealth vape charge £3.30 to send a single spool which I imagine would go large letter as opposed to small parcel. I just think when it works out at Over £6 for 10 metres +5 free is a bit steep. I'm only wanting a single spool at the moment to try my hand at temp builds until my local B&M stocks a few different gauges.

Thank you robby @scooby I'm a bit flipping skint but vaping is my only vice, I don't drink and I obviously don't smoke so I might pull the trigger on the VT40. It will take me a week to decide on the colour though. I'm leaning towards the black but I worry about the finish as I've got the touch a rhinoceros and don't want something that scratches easily.

I've ordered four, spares for spares, you guys taught me that.
