I've just got this from the Vape Jam Facebook page , if anyone's interested of course.
" The VIP lounge will offer fantastic goodie bags, free alcoholic and non alcoholic refreshments and snacks.
The lounge is located next to the main stage and has easy access to all of the event sponsors. VIP guests will have the chance to interact with our honorary guest speakers and attendants, in an interior designed for maximum comfort. The lounge will be available for guests with VIP tickets only, at limited availability. "
I took a punt and decided to go for this , I'm glad I did, as I've already paid for the tickets and food and drink all day , a goodie bad and hopefully chat to a few people , as I'll be on my own.

I'm waiting on a Infinite Kayfun V4 Clone from FT.
I only ordered it yesterday , I've got a feeling list is going to be a long wait , especially as I'm so impatient.

OK Montana, what can I say, I was so pleased with my two examples of this mod that I wanted others to know, looking like I was a bit premature with my advice to buy this atty. I meant well! I wouldn't say your premature , at least I hope not anyway.Hcigar normally have a good reputation from what I've seen here.Add to this that I have very bad luck when it comes to buying products.There could be 1,000,000 pieces of a certain product made , there would be ONE that has a problem with it , and I would get the problem one EVERY time , lol. I really , really enjoyed the vape that I got from this , it's just that I can't take it apart without grips to do a build on it. Andy |

The problem that I've had and one other person on here has had is the chimney section getting stuck to the base and without the use of two sets of grips is impossible to separate. I just hope it's a one off. Andy |

chicken , I've just ordered the one from the link you provided , thanks. I hope I have better luck with this than I did with the other one.I have spoken to the vendor that I got it from and I'm sending it back and they're going to send me out another one.So I just hope it was just a one off and not the way they have done this clone.

This is what I'm saying Roger , most , if not all batteries these days don't come with a wall plug ,they just come with a USB cable. This is how a lot of accidents have happened in the past , with people using the incorrect wall socket for a Ego , for that matter any mod really.They need to only have a 500ma charge , a lot of USB wall plugs have 1-2A charge rate. For the likes of us that know we should only be using a 500ma charge rate it's ok to find the proper wall plug , but it's NOT ok for new vapers , as they will think any one will do.Add to that the fact that most Ego type batteries don't have any kind of instructional booklet to tell you important things like that. I think that's a huge reason for a lot of reviewers to keep on about battery safety , especially with the new sub-ohm atty's you can get.Also , there are a lot of B & M stores and internet stores that also don't give you this kind of information. We as vapers are a target at the moment for ANY kind of headline.When something goes wrong , it makes headlines.When someones phone or laptop does the same thing , it makes a small report well into the paper , if not, at all. I might be wrong ( I often am ) , but I seem to remember that I was told that it was safe to use a PC USB outlet as it was 500ma and couldn't do any damage to the PC or the Ecig , but with this product we're told the opposite , which I think is what I was getting at in the first place , lol. Andy We are just in the process of posting a guide and this has been covered linkThanks for that VapingBad , I've had a quick look through and it looks very comprehensive and a "Must Read" for new and experienced vapers alike. Roger , my post was not meant to be patronising in any way, shape or form.I was basically saying that you were lucky that when you got your Tornado that you got a wall charger, so you know that your going to be safe.I've just had a look at TW and with their Tornado kits , they now don't supply a wall charger , which I think is a mistake. The reason whyI mentioned charge rates is because of the amount of new vapers that just use the wall plug that they already have and seeing as a LOT of people have an Iphone or Ipad , they just use that and we all know that an Iphone wall plug delivers 1A and an Ipad charger delivers 2A. Again, sorry for my previous post to seem patronising, it wasn't the way it was meant. Andy |

I apologise now , for not reading the entire thread , but I have a problem with the Cloupor and charging , especailly considering other batteries and charging. Now , cloupor say , DON'T charge through USB through a PC.Before and with the likes of Ego batteries we know to NOT use USB via a wall adapter ( most Ego battiers don't come with a wall socket ) because of the current output being to high for the battery , now we have a mod that totally reverses this and people wonder why people are getting confused. I've said this before , but us vapers NEED an industry standard for charging batteries IN THE DEVICE , otherwise we are going to have a lot more accidents like this.Just to add , what if the device hadn't started to vent while being plugged in , but the device was very unstable.It could probably only take one knock in someones pocket for it to start melting and in someones pocket or bag be very dangerous , not to mention very damaging to vaping. Andy My original TW Tornados many moons ago were supplied with a mains adapter and usb lead. OH still uses Ego type batteries which we have always charged using the adaptor/USB charger. I have never charged using USB through a PC/Laptop and have never had a problem. Adapter output is 5V 500ma, charger part input is 5V 500ma, output 4.2V 420ma. That seems balanced to me.

Thats intresting chicken, I was impressed with the Hcigar clone, how was the Infinite better? I would say the treading is smoother and feels better made, not a 1:1 but close to the authentic, they now do it in black as well You say it's not a 1:1 clone , so what's different with the Inifinite one ? I currently have a Hcigar version and I'm hoping that I've just got a duff one and when I get a replacement , that will be OK , BUT I know someone else has posted the same problem as me. Is there a UK supplier of the Infinite clone ? If not can you post a link to the Infinite one ? Especially as you rate this better than the Hcigar version. P.S The Hcigar version does fit into mt Kato box mod clone , will the Infinite version fit , or do you have a maximum width for it , so I can measure it up ? Andy |

The commentators kept blaming it on the weather. Wind, rain and a wee bit cold. They should try working on a building site for 8 hours in these conditions instead of prancing about a football pitch for an hour and a half Well said. I've never been a football fan really and when the money started going silly it put me off even more. I'm currently on a site , putting in the soil stacks , while the main body of the building hasn't even been finished yet.There are no roof or windows , so when it rains outside , it's still raining inside for several hours later.In the weather we've had this week , it's actually warmer outside than it is inside.Add to that , bad Health and safety , and if you say something that maybe slightly out of place ( In their eyes ) , you won't be coming back the next day , and they say building sites have changed for the better.Funny , I haven't seen it ? Perhaps footballers could be under the same kind of pressure just to pay the bills , let alone , what colour their next Ferrari should be. Andy |

From what I tried irish cream,hazelnut,toffee cappuccino,belgian waffle were terrible for me.Maple syrup great for adding to a tobacco mix.But that's me,you might like them.For that price never hurt to try+always can give away unwanted juices when you go on a vape meet.  +1 for juices in thatguy 's post. I'm going to try the back gold, vanilla ,banana and nut bread ,grape and apple pie I'm really a sweet tobacco liker not really enjoyed anything else but iv only tried the liquids from our shop and I hated there tobacco as well but love manabush so its worth a go as you say for that price If you like the sweet tobacco flavours as I do , then you HAVE to try the Caramel Blend.IMHO the Caramel Blend is better than the Black Gold. There is one thing that I need to say about the Joose Juice flavours , DON'T let them steep to long.My ADV is Caramel Blend and I have also had Black Gold too.If I have the Caramel Blend for longer than a month the tobacco overpowers the caramel and the caramel itself loses it's sweetness.With the Black Gold the honey gets over sweet.The best time lines for theses two are between 1 and 3 weeks after arrival to your door.Having said that I DON'T know if my nicotine strength is affecting the flavour at all , which for me is 18mg , so I can't comment for other nicotine levels. As far as the Apple Pie is concerned , be aware that the apple is not a sweet apple it's a tart apple.Some people like this, but it's not for me , so I'm still in search of a sweet apple pie with NO CUSTARD.The only one I've heard about is Smokin Crow's Apple Pie , BUT , unfortunately they don't do international shipping and no-one here carries their juices , so ANY help with a sweet apple pie WITHOUT custard would be nice.

Hi all, we have also bought the hcigar kf4 from vape geek, a lovely bit of kit but i dont seem to be able to stop gurgling. Have stripped it down and rebuilt/re wicked it 4 times now to no avail. I manged to stop leaks but can't stop gurgling. I used the 0.8ohm coil that came with it and tried the wick that came in the box to start but that dried out and burnt through (may have had flow control closed). Any advice would be greafully received. I have found with this and all the other atty's I've used that , the gurgling is a wicking issue. I have found that the only way ( that I've found ) to get around this is to make sure the wick is tight in the coil.The best way I can think of descibing what is happening is there is a tiny gap between the wick and the coil and when it's heated there isn't direct contact between the coil and the wick , especially when the wick is soaked and worn in after a little while.This gap is ( this is only my guess anyway ) heating up the juice quicker and hotter than it would be if the wick was touching the coil ( thus getting more juice from the tank ) and it's causing it to pop. The reason that I think it's this is because when I have not touched the coil at all , other than to remove the wick and put another wick straight in , just a tighter fit , it seems to stop the spitting. There is also a fine balance to be had here though.if you have the wick to tight the wicking won't be able to keep up and you'll end up with dry hits , so it's something that needs experimentation.
