I have a few thoughts on this. I have suffered with the nausea thing. Fine all morning but later in the day it can catch up with me. I have put it down to nic level and I am now down at 6mg. My theory goes a bit further. I think that we do not clear the nic from our systems quickly, I have only 50% kidney function so it may be worse for me. When smoking I think the stuff in the tobacco clears the nic quicker or maybe the levels are different.
I would be interested if there is any good news on the nappy rash!

I flew to Atlanta from Heathrow and back this year. I put my clero in the liquids bag on the way out but forgot on the way back and just chucked my MVP and filled IClear30 in the plastic tray. No problem. I vaped in the loo both ways.... Always smelt better when I came ou than when I went in, I made sure the vapor mixed with lots of air from the air con to make sure the smoke detector would not fire.

I had a small problem. The aluminium foil was not strong enough to I have changed to steel. I decided that copper was the best conductor but the kick will take care of any extra resistance.... That's what it does.
Vaping now at 7.5 w with my IClears30s and there is tons of vapor..... Nice to know I don't need all 10w and I can turn it down if I drown in vapor.

Vape mail arrived. First the flat top unprotected 18350 batteries are the right length to fit the kick in with one extension. The slot in the plastic liner is wide enough and the plastic is thin enough for the negative pin to touch the case. I cut a piece of thick aluminium foil to go in the battery compartment first as the button on top if the kick made permenant contact with the switch. So aluminium disk then kick next. I put the kick slightly in then rotated it until the little ball clicked into the groove in the plastic liner. Next battery plus end first, then the extension and finally the original screw base. It works. I will return here when I have had a chance to play for a while and try out different settings.

The other idea I thought of, was exposing the inner metal casing where the battery goes in, by removing a strip of the delrin/plastic lining from top to bottom.....just wide enough for the kick to make contact with the inner tube wall....if you see what I mean I don't know which kick you are looking at but I have a sigelei and the length of the pin would not reach the metal case.... It's just a small ball. Other kicks may be different. If the pin is long enough then you would need a slot all the way down the plastic so you could slide the kick in and out to adjust. There is a very narrow slot in my liner already, could just be widened. |

Be careful. If you turn the battery up the other way the case will be positive so the neg pin will be the wrong polarity. There may be a combination but I can only see the kick in the top with the positive end of the battery against the bottom of the kick. Yeah, but what I was thinking was putting the extension on, then putting the battery in upside down, with the kick also upside down at the bottom end of the tube, pressing against the end cap spring. Ok but. The positive end of the battery must go to the bottom of the kick. If the kick is down where the spring is the whole body will be positive..... It needs a negative to the side pin of the kick? So if you then take a feed from the top of the battery (negative) it will need to be fully insulated down to the side pin of the kick. |

So just run the tape down the inside of it ??? Apparently it won't work ( maccafan had a look at it for me) like that, but it should work with the battery turned up the other way & the kick fitted in the extension ring, which isn't insulated.......I've ordered the ring, so we shall see.......

I have an extension and a kick. The extension is too large inside diameter for the negative pin to reach and the inside thread it so long the neg pin gets caught up with the thread. |

Better connection i think The reason I ask, I've just looked inside my smok e-pipe & it appears to have a plastic/delrin sleeve from top to bottom.......if thats the case, then the pins wouldn't be against metal. I am trying to fit a sigelei kick in my SMOK E pipe. Yes the pins that stick out are the negative contact for the electronics of the kick. Yes the e pipe has a plastic liner so no contact. I plan to run a piece of copper shim (thin like 10thou) from the side pin on the kick to the bottom of the battery. I am stuck at the moment because I have protected batteries and they are too long to fit the kick. I have ordered unprotected flat top batteries that are 2mm shorter so they should be ok. I am working on one extension tube and 18350 batteries as I think it would be too long with two extensions and 18500 batteries. Another problem is that the e pipe needs flat top batteries and the kick has a top contact like a button top. This is where the plastic liner will help. I plan to drop a very thin disk of copper in above the kick so a large flat surface is presented to the switch in the pipe. The plastic liner will insulate it. I will update this and maybe add some pictures as I get it going. |

Hi everyone. As thread says I am not new to vaping. I thought I would share some of my experience. I started with Skycig and soon moved to an ego and a clearomiser. Soon I was mixing my own juice mainly for cost reasons but now I like the ability to change flavour and strength just when I want to. I fancied the idea of a pipe but didn't like the prices to try one outso I got a SMOK epipe and an IClear 30 that I love and is my kit of choice when out and about.... Great talking point. At home I now have an Itaste MVP as I got fed up with the constant charging of the epipe batteries. It lasts 4 days and I can vape at 3.3 volts so it's always the same vaping experience. I have started at 18 mg nicotine and tried 24 mg but soon came back down to 18... Now I am at 15 and the next will be at 12 and all this in six months.
