When I had to send my sig 50 back for replacement as soon as "ecig" was mentioned they refused to post it my wife had to explain it was just the mod which was a metal box with electronics in it no battery involved only then would they accept it but would not insure it. If it was international postage I might get it but postage within the UK is a bit OTT.

It can be a brick wall to smack your head on sometimes but I've found once you catch their curiosity the mind becomes a lot more open and receptive to the other side. For me the most frustrating thing is we have all the evidence on our side but cannot seem to get it out large scale to counter the almost daily barrage of junk and badly executed studies out there and perhaps that's the direction we need to go in. I have managed to counter the rubbish with quite a few people locally but in reality it's not even a drop in the ocean we need to change the tide of.

I found out a while ago how badly the address selling is and wasn't impressed at all but being honest unless your prepared to go without email there is very little we can do. My wife got absolutely bombarded with spam hundreds a day and after I talked to her the only thing she'd done was click yes to her info being known by one of the magazines she buys each week for the recipes and puzzles she had no idea that opened her up to get all the spam.

As onboard charging is the only way for an istick I think eleaf will have made sure theirs are as safe as is possible and given the amount of isticks sold I have not heard of a single battery problem occuring so with those at least I'm fairly confident hence why I bought the 50w version though I did spend a lot of time looking to see if there had been any issues. Authentic I think your safe as the damage to the company would make it a risk not worth taking but obviously cheaper clones I'd be more careful and not sure I'd take the chance on them.

Sadly as soon as an email address becomes active it is added to lists that are for sale not very good but nothing for people to worry about clairea please don't get overly concerned or angry by this it's just business as usual on the internet. Add the domain to your spam filter and problem solved usually although if they are persistent you might have to add once a week but that level of persistence is rare.

It has a swing door with a magnet at the bottom holding the door shut easy to change batts in a few seconds.

On my sig 50 I remove the battery and charge it in my xtar more comfortable with that and if there's a mishap of any sort while charging it only takes out my £25 charger not my £70 mod . USB charging is a lot better then it used to be but I still prefer removable battery's although I have the istick50 just never expected the istick to be as good as it is didn't think I'd be using it much. |

In a simple term cloud chaser's for vape competitions even though at over 100 watts it is not enjoyable at all it's this so called "cool" part of vaping that a lot of young un's are into, spose there are worse things for them to do at least till we get a definitive answer on the whole how high temps affect wire, wick and liquid. 30 watts is as high as I go on my lemos anything over that and though vapour increases flavour degrades and I like flavour more then obscuring myself in vapour.

Fasttech also do multipacks so if the worst happens again not a big deal apart from having to be patient fasttech is great.

Most attys get warm\hot at the point they connect to the mod that's normal if your vaping heavily if it's getting hot and your not vaping heavy then that's not normal. It might be as simple as dirty contacts on one Atty being dirtier then the other affecting the power. I'm a very heavy vaper so I'm used to my attys getting a bit toasty . |

Most of the negative reactions I've seen to vaping in my small part of the world have come because of a small group that cloud chase granted they are a bunch of obnoxious gits but they are doing more harm then good. I'm not against people making huge clouds but there is a time and place for it and in my case not the town centre. I don't dislike any aspect of vaping each to their own but while vaping is not secure every vaper needs to think about what they are doing and how it might impact the greater community. I am sure I could manage if heavy restrictions come in but there are still millions that could benefit from vaping and deserve to have the option available to them as we did.
