That looks lovely - how do we go about ordering one?

Couple more questions:

Is the battery completely sealed or is it replaceable and what's the battery life?

Does £40 buy a complete kit including charger?

I'll try that, thanks for the tip

Yes there's the little screw you adjust with a screwdriver to accommodate different sized batteries, have had no probs with that as such. What I was referring to was the entire base unit (the brass bit) which you can unscrew from the lower body (to clean it for example). I noticed at one point it wasn't making contact well when the button was pressed and then realised the problem wasn't that the screw needed adjusting it was rather that the entire brass housing had unscrewed slightly. A few turns of this with my hand and it was fine but it could lead some to think the small screw needed readjusting if they didn't realise the housing was loose.

For the last week I've had my Don on mini mode and have to say I haven't missed the larger size and batteries at all, although of course I have them in reserve and can switch back any time I want. In fact I really love the mini Don for it's size and ease of use.

I guess because I don't vape that much during the day the smaller batteries last me from morning until bed time and I can keep one on charge overnight for the following day so there's always a spare. Still at 800Mah they still have a decent amount of power in them so are hardly undersized.

With this combination the Don becomes the perfect mod for dropping in a pocket and stealth vaping wherever you go, it's really a great little mod and I'm appreciating it all the more day by day for it's convenience and ease of use. One thing I would suggest though is make sure when you drop it in your pocket that you turn the button to the off position - have to admit I burnt out a Boge cart a few days ago when I forgot to do that

I guess I really ought to try 5v batteries too but have to say the 3.7v ones I've tried so far (large and small) have been doing the job nicely but I certainly might be tempted once the promised VV attachment comes available.

The only thing I guess that I'd highlight so far as a potential negative is the slight tendency for the brass button housing at the bottom of the Don to loosen itself over time and come unscrewed. Easy enough to sort that out by screwing it tightly back in (although because it's smooth it can be difficult to get a proper hold on it to screw it in as tightly as you might want) but if you didn't realise it was loosening you might think there was a problem with the button itself which isn't the case - just watch out for that one. Other that minute niggle it's all good especially with the 510 to 510 adaptor which makes connecting carts and whatever else you screw on nice and secure and allows for a good air flow at the screw end of the cart. I guess the slightly home made nature of the standard Don connection is another tiny negative but when it's easily fixed for a couple of quid I don't personally see it as a problem.

I'll need to get some photos of my Don up sometime as I was asked to do ages ago but sufficce to say it's not much different from all the others you might have seen piccies of lol!

Nope, I'm not referring to Smokeymizers ... yet

Whilst looking for something to light a Halloween lantern candle tonight I happened upon the last of my rollup tobacco, took one look at it and thought "don't need that again" and chucked it away

Am rather pleased by the fact I didn't hesitate for a second and immediately thought I'd definitely not be needing 'that' again - guess I truly must have kicked the habit

Right now I'm vaping on a trusty Boge LR cart having got heartily sick (at least for now) of the smokymizers.

Have binned the second one after rubbish vaping for days, which was only relieved by going back to the Boges as an alternative then trying the smoky again but despite patience and perseverance it was a complete waste of time. The first was okay but now seems to be giving up the ghost, I guess faffing around with it and cleaning it might resuscitate it but am not in the mood right now. I still have 3 unopened so I guess I'll give them a go sometime but the seem hellishly unpredictable and all the faffing and wasted juice was a serious negative even when they work okay (which so far is less than 50% of the time.

When they work they are great but a faff and when they don't work well (which seems to be most of the time) they're rubbish and still a faff!

Bottom line is I won't be buying any more of these unless the next 3 work well and 100% of the time which based on experience so far I doubt ... oh and then there's the chance they might short my batteries out

So, what to try next?
