I've honestly tried to read the Wikipeadia page about it, but I still don't get it. It's massive and very confusing. What exactly is the problem? Hi Womble, Essentially it's attempting to stop legislation that would enable a select group of rich corporations and governments to in effect 'censor' the internet. Supposedly to counter piracy and fraud, but casting such a wide net that it will inevitably impact free speech and democratic freedoms imo. There's a huge stink about it, and rightly so imo. Cheers, John

Is this the same thing that Wiki did a 24 hour blackout for a couple of weeks ago? Hi Chrissie, It's similar, but like Dom says, it's worse in that it's not just US based. However the organisation I've linked to was involved in helping get the US legislation shelved, and now also hopefully will help kick the EU guff into touch also. John

Hi All, Not e-cig related and wasn't sure whether to post this here, but figured it's important so what the hell. Please take a look at this and get behind it if you're so inclined: www.avaaz.org/en/eu_save_the_internet_spread/?copyCan't see why it would, but if it gets up anyones nose I apologise in advance. Cheers for now, John

This thread isnt to debate what carto tank is better than another carto tank. Hi Gordy, That wasn't me point mate, and I'm sorry if you took it that way. Fact is food and drink for example, ain't generally sold in polycarb containers, and there's a reason for that.
- I stand corrected, me apologies GordyI'll say no more and get me coat, John

Filled a mates elites up at wknd and it took seconds using condom from top end. Think that's the recommended way with auto batteries anyway.. You're not really guaranteed a good fill if you do a condo style from the top. If you look inside a carto there's a gap at the top between the endcap and the wadding, so a lot of the juice will just end up in that gap. Reason for doing it from the batt end is that the juice will be forced up through the wadding, and only the excess will end up in that gap. Hope that helps, John

Hi Gordy, I applaud yer aims, but for me this approach is a bit back to front. Rather than generate an ever expanding list of juices that can crack polycarb tanks I think it might be better to point folks at suppliers of tanks that won't crack in the first place TBH, any supplier of polycarb tanks is potentially letting down thier customers. It shouldn't be left to the consumer to have to avoid using perfectly vapable juices. > A better solution IMO would be to point folks at good suppliers who sell tanks that are up to the job, eg: Totally Wicked - Tanks made of Polypropelene Alba Vapours - Tanks made of Pyrex Siam Mods - Tanks made of Delrin I'm sure there are others out there as well. This way the good guys would get the trade, and the others would have to up thier game. It's really not difficult to source the right materials for the job if you put your mind to it. Just a matter of having the right priorities. Cheers, John Edit - spelling

@ Gizmo One thing you could try would be to stand your bottle of juice in a cup of hot water before filling yer carto. Not boiling, bout the temp of nice cuppa , apparently this will make the juice a bit more runny. Not tried it meself, but my juices are 70/30 PG/VG, so are pretty runny anyway. Just as an aside, with the juices I'm using I just straight drip fill, not a fan of the condo method meself, bit too messy for me. Cheers, John

hi vcmazz and welcome to the forum. be careful as my charger blew up my wall socket and have read/seen a few other people having problems with the charger such as melting or blowing. i started off on one of these, got it off the market for 6 quid included 10 cart, .i actually got a second one and that died after a couple of days though. its a brilliant product as it introduced me to vaping and that it showed me there is a replacement smoking but it does seem very tempormental. and after a week got a 510mini/titanwhich is heaps better plus i used cartomisers instead of atomiser+carts. the healhecig cart were hurting my teeth tbh. when i was out and about i was lucky to get 1hr out of the battery so always ended up in the corner shop buying analogues. Hmm. A vote against eh? Thanks for your views - the more the merrier! Heh, I wouldn't worry mate. I suspect king is referring to the cheapo kit he had prior to his current setup. You'll be fine with a Riva from VE. John

Just looking at the Riva 1100. Quick question, how long do the atomizers tend to last? Should I order a few or are they pretty reliable? Me, I'd ask Jason (Mr Vapeescape himself) to swap out the atomizers & cartridges in the kit for cartomizers instead. He's a gent and'll be happy to oblige. Cartomizers are essentially a cartridge and atomizer combined. You just fill em up and attach them to the battery and away you go. Less hassle than atomizers & cartridges and less topping up required. generally more economical in the long run too. Maybe give him a bell before placing your order and he'll be happy to advise further - I think he's used to it by now John Edit - oops cross posted - Anne types faster than me I think

Hi and welcome vcmazz, As to your question, gawd knows. If you could post a couple of pics of the batt and atomizer connectors then maybe someone could id them and suggest compatible stuff. Otherwise the kit Anne (fuzzy) has linked to is damn fine. It'll blow yer socks off compared to that health thingy cheers, John

Mind you, the price on thier (Steamlite) cartos doesn't look that bad - £25 for 25 prefilled cartos. So if the ends are popoffable (they look like they prob are), they could maybe just refill them?
It'll be replacing the batteries every 4 weeks or so that costs em.
John
