I've been frantically opening batteries(from here on refered to as batts and meaning a laptop battery containing 6 18650s) this afternoon as penance for helping myself to the remainder for vaping.
A little update, as we've been working our way down the boxes we've been getting a few dud cells amongst the ones we've tested. The maximum was 1 dud 18650 in a batt, it averages out to about 8% duds among 300 batts at the moment. The duds still work we're just being quite zealous in our rejection policy.
In the following list I have taken the liberty of bumping up a few people to 2 batts to over allow for the duds. Anyone who wanted 2 and now wants 3, please feel free to copy-and-paste the list with amended amount. If I've missed anyone, apologies, or your just adding yourself again please copy-and-paste and add yourself and your requirements.(anyone who amends the list so the handles work will get automatic entry at the pearly gates)

Phil, just a suggestion for you so you don't end up spending all day dishing out stuff and missing Vapefest because your being so generous.Why don't you specify a time and place for everyone to meet you, so you can do it all in one go , obviously this is for people like myself that can only do the Saturday during the day.

You could say 13:30 to 14:00 at the bar to pick up your freebies , that way you've got it all done in 30 minutes and you can enjoy the rest of the day doing what you want to do.I'm sure everyone else would think this is the fairest for you too.

What happens when people ( and they will ) mod these devices to basically burn the tobacco because the hit isn't there, then it's the SAME as smoking, if not worse as they don't have ant filters.

Governments want to allow this and ban vaping , it's ALL about the money , and things like this coming out and nothing is being said is only making this more obvious.It seems as the governments, tobacco producers, pharmaceutical companies etc etc etc think we are all 5 years old and believe everything they say.

One of my favourite saying is "Stupid people only gauge intelligence on their own level" , while the rest of us are sniggering behind their back.

You can certainly put me down for 5 , preferably 10 at Vapefest.

Will do, I am camping Friday and Saturday and will be propping up the bar on the day. If you come across anyone from London, they'll be able to point me out.

Or will THAT be you ? lol

I only have the one day to do all travelling and the Vapefest itself and I'm in West Sussex, so it's a 405 mile round trip , I'm going to fall into bed when I get home.

So as well as seeing you I have a dripper to get if I can find one I like , maybe a mod  , if I can find a Vapefest offer and 6 million juices to try.A lot of fluid intake is needed for the flavour testing but unfortunately nothing alcoholic  .

I'll be wearing one of the chrisjw badges so hopefully you'll see me.

It feels like I'm at work, because I can't understand a word of at least three quarters of them say either, kind of like a busmans holiday.

Or if you you want a 26650 DNA30 with that layout StiG HeliX, looks lovely, I don't think he has a price or started a list yet, definitely high-end and probably too nice to take to work, too big and prob too pricey for me.

Just to let others here know , that the Stig Helix is going to be sold at Vapefest for around ( please don't quote me on this ) £289 and there are going to be VERY limited numbers , around 50 total for all the combinations.

After Vapefest there will be a list or 2 or 3 going up on the thread above for people wanting to order them.

I've only put up this info so others don't have to troll through 23 pages of the thread , lol

It's maybe an idea for some company out there to come up with, but here is my idea.To start with a simple way to put it would be a cross between the Kato mod ( or clone ) and a VTR.

Have the VV and VW with the same control on the top and the fire button on the side like the VTR but slightly higher up nearer the top, as a few people have said it's a little low or just needs a lot of getting used to, THEN have the looks of the Kato and the ability of the Kato to have larger tanks like a Kayfun etc and have the option, like the Kato to have an 18500 model as well as a 18650.

Other things that I may want to add which neither has , is another SS or aluminium ring half way between the top ring and the 510 connector to add a bit more tank security , an ego connection or a small adapter so the tank is still protected.The last thing I would add would be a pain but I'm sure someone could come up with something.That is , if your using an ego style tank, they're normally a lot thinner , so having some kind of removable internal ring to the top ring or somewhere near the top of the body to brace it from excessive sideways movement so it goes round the smaller tank and keeps the tank sturdy.

Surely I would have thought with all the comments and reviews of both, someone hasn't come up with a hybrid of both, which is basically what I'm saying.

Why should mods be them VV/VW or mech be attractive as well as versatile. Mech mods have the looks and the VV/VW mods have the versatility, just combine the best bits.

I should have put a patent on this design, lol.

Andy

Is there such a mod that's similar to the VTR ?

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the VTR I'm just wanting to look at options.

My work is mainly on building sites as I'm a plumber and I want to get something that's a bit more rugged than the V1 spinner that I use for work.I'm always very wary of snapping a tube type of mod or ruining the threads because of potential movement in my pocket, or if I leave it about getting bashed with tools etc.

The thing that really draws me towards the VTR is the way that the tank is on the side so there is a lot less chance of any sideways type of movement and the tank is semi protected with it being on the side, equally with that I like the variable wattage and voltage that it also offers.I know it isn't a high VV or VW mod like say the Vapor Shark but for me it's plenty as I like a cooler vape at about 7.0w to 9.5w depending on the time of day and my taste buds.

I have seen the Kato mod and the Microstick mod too, but these are mech mods with no protection ( battery wise ) and no VV or VW , which I would prefer.

Is the VTR on it's own with these features or have I missed something somewhere, is there something else I have missed which I should be looking at ?
