What the article was looking at was the RELATIVE views of the posts about the different devices, that's why I havent showed the counts. I was using the counts as measures of interest rather than hard numbers of individuals (so re-reads are not a problem - they just show more interest).
The Precise Plus is an interesting one - there was more UK interest shown than US! But one UK forum showed much less interest than the other one.

In the case of the UK forums there might well be a "trog" factor (but look at the big US forum?), but that doesn't explain the big difference between the two on the other devices...

Very interesting, Prof. For the record, the ECF is a UK forum, although most of the members are American. Rolygate insists that it's an international forum, although both he and Smokey Joe, the founder, are British. I know about ECF  That's why I refer to forums as "US Main Focus" or "UK Main Focus" - ECF are NOT included in my stuff for that article, but if they were I'd refer to them as "US Main Focus" even though, as you correctly say, they are UK based. ECF is certainly not the largest UK "Main Focus" Forum (even Roly agrees on that) |

I hope you like it as much as I do - if you do, you will be very very happy Did you order batteries with it? |

When I started vaping I boought umpteen adapters for my Screwdriver and tried out lots of different atomisers til I found which I preferred. It's a practice I have kept up. In practice if you put the same volts through an atty/carto, where its coming from doesn't make a lot of difference (not NO difference, but at 4v the main variation will down to the aty/carto).
I've found that - on all my devices - my preference is for 1.7ohm LR901 atties or 1.5ohm 306 atties - I'm not saying other things are not good, just that these suit my tastes best.

I'm using 1200mah (probably nearer 100mah allowing for Chinese exageration) Ultrafire batteries in my Precise Plus 18350 - they fit fine - you get extra rubber O-rings in the pack which allows the variation in length between different 18350 batteries to be handled.
I take a different view from most over "run-time" I'd sooner have the smaller device and carry one small extra battery "just in case" than have the 18650 version which is bigger and heavier. I get through the working day nine times out of ten on one 18350 - now and then I dont - but I have a spare battery. 18350 version plus spare battery is lighter than the 18650 vesrion on its own (and a fair bit smaller).

The Super T I've had for two years is a model called the Super Six - no longer made - it was the model that put Super T "on the map". It's quite rare. It's a very high quality aluminium device (both Precise ranges are steel) and has exchangable atomiser fittings. " Vaping historians" may find my review of it interesting - it is a superb bit if kit: ukvapers.com/blog/9/entry-11-the-super-six-review-part-1/ |

I shall also be posting one of my usual written reviews shortly - probably Sunday once I've given it fair trial

If you like your Screwdriver - what about one of the new Super T Precise Plus models? - not as bling as some PVs, but Super T stuff is beautifully made and nigh on indestructible (my old Super T Super Six was bought in January 2010 and is still as good as new).

For least fiddly bits, excellent electronic connectivity, durability, big battery (and small size for the battery) and all-round engineering excellence I'd recommend the Super T Precise Plus 18650. (Also has a transferrable lifetime guarantee) Here's its little (18350) brother:  |
