Thanks for this lee ; I do actually have a 'Things to get If I order anything from FT list' somewhere in the back of my vaping notebook*. Nothing urgent so should be ideal. *Yes I have a vaping notebook

Interesting to be reminded that early vaping was promoted as 'smoking' and the kit was described as 'cigarettes'. Big mistake; in hindsight at least.

The precursor not only to our VW/TC/TCR mods - but TW too! Many things have changed - including the Cropper in charge - but some things stay the same - bet it was a tad more expensive than similar models on the market from other vendors What other vendors? It was Jason or China. Well not entirely true but apart from his various outlets there was very little UK competition. OP box it up and send it to the Science Museum it could go in their 2000s tech display.

Wow, so much information here- thanks everyone! At the moment my primary liquid is from Manabush, (a recommendation on here, it's really nice) and it is 50/50 vg-pg, and 3mg...is that the strength? I also use several different ones from VapeMate and a tobacco-flavoured one from the eCig Store... it seems thinner, and the Manabush sometimes seems to be too thick for my ecig so I 'water' it down with the eCig Store liquid, (which is 70/30) This is the kit that I have.... cdn.ecigclick.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/the-one-kit.jpgIt looks like I might have to consider one of the square ones... although they all look quite similar so I'm not sure which is the best- is this a good one? www.eleafworld.com/istick-basic/And they are on sale, for about £26...although I'm not sure what the postage will be! although I like these, too- g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1.rBvIXXXXXcMXpXXq6xXFXXXa/2015-Joyetech-eGo-one-kit-1100mah-2200mAh-passthrough-adjustable-airflow-ego-series-Joye-ego-one-atomizer.jpgI'm not too worried about adjusting temperature or anything on the thing itself... I have enough trouble remembering numbers, (I have to save empty bottles to constantly check the percentages on them, because it's a problem I have with numbers ) so I'd probably end up adjusting it the wrong way! Not sure of the tobacco strengths on my liquids, I'm never sure if the numbers are about that, or how much liquid is in the bottle! There have been several mentions of removable batteries... does this mean it has batteries like AA ones in it, that can be taken out and recharged? I think I would prefer one that charges via a USB cable, because while I'm on the computer I can see it and keep an eye on it.Thanks again for all the helpful tips! The most common form of removable battery for vaping is currently the Li-ion 18650; same form as an AA battery but bigger and different chemistry. Resulting in much more capacity; an alkaline AA would just not cut it. Some examples here www.ebay.co.uk/sch/sis.html?_nkw=2x+30A+Torchy+Samsung+30Q+3000mAh+Flat+Top+18650+3+7v+Li+ion+batteries+case&_trksid=p2047675.m4100&clk_rvr_id=975088404235&rmvSB=true

they sound like a good battery They are the ones I use. Never an issue with them or indeed any batteries I have had from Torchy.

Beware tipsyturtle you're being groomed; before you know it you will be forced to take part in vapy initiation rituals in the dark recesses of a shady London pub; made to watch ring blowing contests and the dreaded who can set off the fire alarm first competition. You may even get your coils forcibly rebuilt. Seriously I only ever managed to get to one London meet myself but they where very friendly people; and very welcoming to a newcomer; I escaped unharmed plus I learnt more that night than in a month reading forums.

Just to say well done for giving up smoking even using such basic equipment. What would be amazing would be if you did not miss smoking after such a short time and with such limited kit. I vaped and smoked for years using kit rather like what you have; it never really cut it. Once I found something that worked I would not roll or smoke another ciggy if someone payed me.
I will not make any specific recommendations; you will get enough from folks better informed than me; except to note the battery capacity you have is tiny and almost anything would be an improvement i.e see posts above. Good Luck

Yeah the metal casing makes it a solid little device. Size if not weight friendly too ( It fits right in my hand and only the tank really sticks out lol). Very nice to hold. Is the only mod I use at home currently. Not pocket friendly though; with 3 18650s just too heavy; mine never leave the house. They are indeed very solidly made. Or at least they feel like they are.

Now why did I know that was going to be from the University of California before I even opened the thread. Won't someone think of the mice? Actually the results would be as useful if the mice did the experiments. Think of the Meeeces , If they'd done it on rats few would give a shit, but mice have better PR Never understood why they don't just use estate agents. No one would complain and they are almost human.

Admittedly the Wireless Atomizer/Cartomizer Power Supply looks expensive but I am sure a bulk purchase price could be negotiated.

Richard46 yeah it was normally I would buy a larger roll off stealthvape for that price but I didn't want to get left with a huge amount of useless wire if it didn't work out, I checked crazy on amazon but their price wasn't any cheaper at the time I placed the order, nanotm my first choice would have been Stealthvape but he does not sell SS. Never has AFAIK.
