75 watt is as high as you can go on a single 18650 and it wont put that power out for long cuboid mod is prob the neatest twin 18650 mod out at the moe +1 for the Cuboid. Nice size and very smooth edges, very well made and nice and solid. They can be bought for less than £35 in the UK but add another £25 for 2 pairs of married batteries. Made by Joyetech so good at TC (check with PBusardo). |

Anyone know if the update provides a fix for wandering wattage, otherwise I might request a return on mine ?
Even with the up/down buttons locked mine slowly reduces in 0.1 watt increments - not a problem for 75 watt lip scorchers, but it is if you like to vape at 12 watts.... 11.9.......11.8......11.7

Lots of useful pointers, so many thanks for taking the time to respond.
Interesting ruse in relation to Aspire stuff to bypass Paypal limitation, which I was unaware of.

Thanks for that philvapes . My preferred vape style is mouth to lung at 12 watts, but I went for the Pico kit with the Melo III because it wasn't much more than buying the mod on its own. It's a nice diddy little tank and it doesn't leak  I've tried restrictive lung hits but I don't get the flavour on the inhale that I do with MTL. I'll try and find some cheap Triton coils. |

Having bought all of my vape gear from UK vendors so far I've decided to dip into Fasttech and save some dosh.
Any tips would be most welcome, including:
-parcel size/value
-posting methods, delivery times
-stock availability jargon
-payment method
and any other advice that you experienced Fasttech buyers can think of.
Thanks.

I just got a pico kit from fasttech about £24 and 2 sony 2600 ma batterys ,they where about £10 took ten days to come. I love this little mod its made all my other mods redundant , so much so I have just ordered an other one. I run mine with the 1.8 ohm triton coils , but that's the thing with the melo 3 tank it comes with you can use so many other makes of coils in it. You got ss, claptons, ceramic , the list goes on and on . From my point I like mouth to lung and with the 1.8 ohm triton coils its about the best I have tried. and well stealthy for work as its so small. One thing I don,t get with it its only 2 mill tank using the same coils I use in my triton but uses a lot less juice then my triton tank. Triton tank is 4 mils fill it 1.5 times a day , milo 3 mini tank is 2 mils and almost lasts a day. Same coils. www.fasttech.com/search?Istick%20pico what's the draw like with the Triton 1.8ohm coils in the Melo III ? I'm using the Melo III 0.5ohm coil and with the air control fully closed the draw is still way too loose for mouth to lung. |

I realise that this thread started over a month ago digicig , but how did you get on with the V3 Plus tank ? I'm wanting a Kayfun V3 but my sausage fingers will struggle with coiling and wicking the V3 Mini - I have enough trouble with the V4.  |

I've just returned to vaping after being back on the rollies for over two years, and having got the gear that suits me for mouth to lung vaping - Cuboid and Kanger Toptank Minis, what works for me is the right juice.
Fortunately I'm OK with menthol and get it cheap from onepoundeliquid, but during the course of the day I treat myself to something special (and expensive) like One Hit Wonder's Milkman, although I've just ordered a sampler pack from Molejuice who do a couple of clones of the One Hit Wonder juices.

Had a reply from the PCC today:
I write further to my email of 16 December, regarding your complaint against the Daily Mail.
As you may be aware, the article about which you complained was removed from the newspaper’s website in response to your complaint. The newspaper has now provided me with its substantive response to the complaint, from Tal Gottesman, the Assistant Managing Editor of Mail Online, which is copied below.
As you will see, the newspaper has accepted that it was inaccurate to report that the study in question had concluded. Following discussions, it has now rewritten the article to report the correct position and is proposing to publish this, with a correction appended to explain to readers the reason why it needed to be changed. A copy of the revised article is enclosed below for your reference – please accept my apologies for the delay in getting this to you whilst the article was rewritten.
Before we can proceed, I would be grateful for any comments you might wish to make on the newspaper’s response.
In particular – given that one of the Commission’s primary aims is the amicable resolution of complaints wherever possible – I would be grateful if you could let me know whether you consider the steps taken by the newspaper to be sufficient for you to consider this matter resolved. If so, I will ask the newspaper to proceed on that basis.
I would grateful to hear from you within the next seven days, if at all possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes

So, I have seven days to agree to the change they are proposing - which is:

'E-cigarette smokers may absorb MORE nicotine and toxins than regular smokers': Study to investigate risk of using 'healthy' tobacco alternative
• E-cigarettes are increasing no longer being seen as just a healthier alternative to cigarettes for people who are already addicted to nicotine
• 12% of students who use them have never smoked a conventional cigarette
By Daily Mail Reporter
PUBLISHED: | UPDATED: 16:26 GMT, 20 January 2014
• Comments ()
They are marketed as being healthier than conventional cigarettes, but researchers believe people who smoke electronic cigarettes could be putting themselves at greater risk than regular smokers.
People who smoke e-cigarettes may inhale higher concentrations of nicotine and of other toxins,say U.S researchers.
So far little research has been carried out into using e-cigarettes, but scientists at the U.S. College of Dentistry have now set up a study to find out the health effects.
Nicotine is both addictive and, in large quantities, toxic - and some of the other chemicals found in e-cigarettes are believed to be carcinogenic.
Researchers say people who smoke electronic cigarettes instead of traditional ones might be absorbing higher concentrations of dangerous chemicals
Researchers at New York University say that due to the ‘frequency of puffing’ and ‘depth of inhalation’ ,e-cigarette smokers may absorb higher levels of harmful chemicals than those who smoke traditional cigarettes.
Initially, e-cigarettes were seen as a healthier, tobacco-free alternative for people who were addicted to nicotine.
However, health agencies have challenged this assumption since they were first marketed in around 2007.
More current research has shown and they are now often smoked by people who have never smoked traditional cigarettes.
In July 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that 'consumers should be strongly advised not to use' electronic cigarettes until a reputable national regulatory body has found them safe and effective.
It said: 'The safety of ENDS has not been scientifically demonstrated [and] the potential risks they pose for the health of users remain undetermined.
'Furthermore, scientific testing indicates that the products vary widely in the amount of nicotine and other chemicals they deliver and there is no way for consumers to find out what is actually delivered by the product they have purchased.'
More current research has shown and they are now often smoked by people who have never smoked traditional cigarettes
Dr Deepak Saxena, associate professor of basic science and craniofacial biology, said: ‘The issue is urgent as a recent survey conducted among students at eight U.S. colleges found that 12 per cent of e-cig users had never smoked a conventional cigarette.’
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Lung Association have cautioned that e-cigarette users are unknowingly inhaling vaporised chemicals.
E-cigarettes use a heating device to vaporise nicotine and other ingredients which simulate the visual, sensory, and behavioural aspects of smoking without the combustion of tobacco.
E-cigarettes employ a mechanism to heat up liquid nicotine, which turns into a vapour that smokers inhale and exhale, a process known as ‘vaping’.
Each nicotine cartridge in an e-cigarette can provide 200 to 400 puffs, equivalent to two to three packs of cigarettes.
‘Due to the frequency of puffing, depth of inhalation, and length of vaping,’ says Dr Xin Li, ‘e-cig users may actually absorb higher concentrations of nicotine and other toxins than conventional tobacco smokers.’
• An earlier version of this article presented the conclusions of the US College of Dentistry study. In fact, the study is still ongoing and the findings have not yet been published. We are happy to clarify this.
SHOULD I ACCEPT THIS PROPOSED CHANGE DO YOU THINK ?

A typical 18350 is 800maH which is equivalent to an Innokin itaste v3, and I vaped using two of them when I started.
I used to charge each one on a daily basis and get about 150 puffs from each (they have a counter). I came from a 15 to 20 untipped rollies per day habit.
You will need a spare battery, but they are quite small.
Can't comment on the kick.
Edit: Just an afterthought. My device was regulated and I ran it at about 8 or 9 watts. If you run your mod unregulated there will be a different battery life.
