I stick to an ADV of Virginia, VC & Butterscotch mixed at 33% each. The Virginia gives a slight tobacco flavor to the VC, and the Butterscotch adds a caramelized flavor to it. I did 'push the boat out' last week and made up 100ml sample, replacing the Butterscotch with Vanilla Fudge. I can tell from the smell that its going to be sweeter than using the Butterscotch.  |

A couple new Mechs that i got this week. The Osmium which which is fast becoming my favorite Mod of all, due to how well it works, and how long it lasts with a pair of 18650's Made from 'grained' Derilin with press fit copper tube innards and brass caps/switch, its still reasonably light. If you like a Mech you would love this thing.   The other is more for show than practical. The 'Punked Cat'. It works just fine, something for 'vapefest', if you now what i mean.  |

Just got hold of one of the Ozzy copies from FT. It seems pretty good on the face of it. Struggling to spot the difference, even the contact pins look to me like they are silver plated.    Was easy to set up and get working out of the box. Came with 2 springs, that i guess were supposed to go in battery compartment, but were not necessary as once pins are tightened there is no rattle. Only thing I have found is my Paradigm Magma atty wont fit properly(either the atty stem is too long or the Mod pin is). Ironic, but every other atty fits OK. The twin 18650's should last a while before needing a recharge and should handle a v low coil(if thats your thing). Much lighter than I thought it would be for a twin battery Mod, The POM that encases it, is the reason. Everything is press fit into it. Very difficult to spot any difference. Osmium clone |

The only time I have had same thing was due to poor circuit, as i did not tighten the screws holding the coil enough.
It sounds like your checking everything. As it happening on all mods, it must be the atty where the problem is.
I would go over the atty again and try follow the path the current would take, checking every nut or screw the current flows through.
EDIT
This may be the problem. The pin pushes up and after use the contact is poor and the jumpy readings.

That is a pretty useful gadget above. Only today I filled up and after a few tokes realized that I should have done a 'dry burn' and wick, as after a week of use i had been getting a few bad tasting hits from it. I could have done with that to save a few ml of juice.

Only other thing that comes to mind, is sometimes drivers need to be installed in a certain order, e.g. my dell's WiFi wont function properly if the usb drivers are not installed before it is.
A google search with make,model+usb3 problems, may throw up some info that could help you diagnose issue.

Its quite strange in a way how a big chunk of the market have moved to doing everything from smartphones now, like watching tv is done through streaming alot more, hifis don't seem as popular, instead maybe bluetooth speakers are everywhere and desktops are alot less popular, even laptops are less in favour of tablet pcs. Cameras and camcorders too seem to be replaced by smartphones in many cases. Seems quality alot of the time is being sacrificed for convenience, price and size. But then if the phone breaks its a big issue! Also alot more relying on cloud storage now instead of storing on removable media which can be less secure in some ways. This is way I have gone, I use my Tab for Music and 'in bed' TV and have 60W(peak120W) 2.1 Bluetooth speakers in the lounge and 10W Bluetooth speaker in bedroom. I subscribe to Spotify for add free access to there vast collection, and just make up playlists of artists i like, so i can play them whenever. It also lets you download to store on device so can be used when there's no WiFi available.   Not sure about the Trust 'Titan' speakers(company HQ in Netherlands) , but I know the smaller speaker is 'Designed' in UK and made in China. Tablet also made in China.(Only recommended for those who are happy to flash Custom ROM to a new tab). Got a feeling we will see our goods coming from China for many years to come due to population size and other factors that may develop over next decade. |

hijack Samsung are a South Korean company and many of their panels are used by other manufacturers in other countries. I stand corrected on the Samsung thing. It was Apple that was being put through the mill over working conditions in their Chinese Manufacturing Plants. |

Even the Japanese now look to manufacture in china (like sony starting a battery plant). Its is all about labor costs and staying competitive, while maintaining profits.
Apple make I-phones etc in china or was it Samsung smart phones? maybe it was both. Saw something about the working conditions inside the plants, it was definitely Apple as they made a big thing out of Apple's fair wage/treatment policy for foreign based manufacturing.
That's seems to be the way of things. As soon as a country becomes 'developed', it losses the cheap labor that fueled the development.
