VapingBad Doesn't really seem to be a lot of info about at the moment John, so I think I will hold fire - I was actually thinking on the safety aspect of using it, watched a vid earlier of someone using it, but he wouldn't commit to whether it was safe or not, just that he preferred it to Ni-200 and appears you use less coils to get same resistance, and have to reduce the temp by about 100°F

I'm also with PN - only problem I had was when I first changed over and the dates got mucked up for the Fibre/Telephone changeover, sorted with a call to CS, haven't spoke to them since, I always take the line saver option paying for a year up front, so the rise doesn't affect me as I have just renewed so paid at the old rate  , moved to PN from BT about 24 months ago when BT hiked their prices. |

The 40Amp are over specced Bob. The 35Amp 2500mAh outperformed them in every way. Even Norbert wasn't impressed. So I dropped them, as has at least one vendor. Ah! okay thanks for that - won't get any more of those then.  |

If they thought a Black Subox was bad, then they don't want to see what just popped into my inbox:  |

The Black KeepPower 2500mAh - do we know which LG re-wraps they are ? Vaping Outlaws 18650 Xtreme marked as 2500mAh 3.6v 9.25Wh 40A as sold by UKeCS - look like they may be re-wraps as wrap is quite thick and I have seen reviewers using these Aspires - unbelieveable I was told the Black KeepPower 2500 (20A/35A) were Samsung 20A 25R's. I have a couple but should have saved a few £ getting Samsung branded 25R's, But they do have a sleek 'Black Wrapper' There are only a handful of 'legitimate' battery producers Sony, Samsung, LG...Panasonic.......Now Im struggling to think who I've missed out.  So everything else is a re-wrap of batteries from these main producers. Edit Malwarebites doesnt like the chat part of that aspire web site  'Aspire has developed a new Solid Solution technology by mixing the high capacity characteristics of the Li-ion chemistry [cobalt based] cells, and high safety of the LiMn2O4 [manganese based] Lithium based batteries.' - See more at: www.aspirecig.com/products/MOD/mod206.html#sthash.Eyw9xttH.dpufYeh I can really see Aspire spending millions on developing new technology to build a battery that wont ever sell that many....NOT Then why on earth do they call it an ICR18650 - and not INR and only 1800mAh and claiming to be 40A - I'm amazed anyone is buying them really, when there are LG and Samsungs which are probably cheaper. I have about 12 of those KeepPower ones from ecoLuxe, would have saved myself a lot had I known, although they do appear to last a bit longer than my Sammys, I tend to use the KPs in my Series mods |

I'm assuming yours is coming via DHL because don't think mine has got to Holland yet No, I paid for this one  not shipped yet  Sorry robby misread your comment, thought you were waiting for it to be delivered, I know sometimes you get them sent faster so you can be the first to try them out  Got my VaporShark VF today from Wembley with the Large Screen DNA40 in it - and it is very nice indeed - very similar to the Waidea clone but better quality and the VS rubberised finish. |

I'm not sure that Focal actually keep stock in for new items - I think their model is find a supplier, get orders and once they have enough, then get the product from supplier to send to buyer, they probably order more than they have orders for, hopefully to sell once the initial batch has been sent out, if they can get enough orders, they can then sometimes get a reduction in price which they pass on in the form of a group buy, which is what they did with the Owl squonker. Thanks for the insight Bob, so its a not quite in time model then  makes focal a very unattractive supplier, so in future i will gladly pay 1-2 usd more for a fasttech or even GB purchase in future, i dont like buying vapour goods.. Personally, I prefer Focal, for some things, FT for their shipping options, but they quite often have things go to restocking causing delays, and have sworn I will never use the other one ever again, I think for this item Focal wins over FT. |

hope they all arrive promptly.. am i alone at being peeved with the weeks delay between ordering and shipping?? i for one would appreciate HONEST stock level indications on the sales pages.. focal could get more business from me if i had any confidence in them actually stocking the kit they advertise.. as is this will be my last purchase from them. ok its only a week THIS time, but its been significantly longer in the past .. it only takes one lie on the page to discredit the whole site imho I'm not sure that Focal actually keep stock in for new items - I think their model is find a supplier, get orders and once they have enough, then get the product from supplier to send to buyer, they probably order more than they have orders for, hopefully to sell once the initial batch has been sent out, if they can get enough orders, they can then sometimes get a reduction in price which they pass on in the form of a group buy, which is what they did with the Owl squonker. |
