You'll not be disappointed Prof, the LR megas are excellent. Lots of flavour and a very nice throat hit. I bought 5 last week when they were 25% off. May get another box, just going to see what their lifespan is like first. But so far very impressed.

I find having about 4 different atties on the go, and swapping between them, helps keep things fresh.
At the moment, flitting between an LR cartomiser from Ivapour -with RY4 - they're me current fave. A mega Atty from TW with tobacco. A regular 510 with Mint And a LR 510 with tobacco. They all give a different type of draw/taste, so it never gets boring. Still not tried the LR901, heard good things about them, must get some on next order.

The 10 week atty I had, it performed at full power the whole time, then dropped off enough to make it unusable for me, but it didn't die. I think I've only ever had 1 atty that died.
The price of atties against quality control used to bug me when I first started vaping. I think it's pretty expensive to be paying £6 per atomiser and for it to potentially become unusable after a couple of days can become an expensive lottery.
But thanks to sales here and there, and the odd overseas orders thanks to the good people of this forum, it's pretty easy to get stocked up with a reserve of not so expensive atties, so when the odd dud crops up from time to time, it's not quite so painful to chuck them away.

It's just luck Ken. I've used 901s, 510s, XLs, LR's, lots of variants. Lasted anything from 2 days up to 10 weeks. The longest was a regular Janty 510, 10 weeks at full power then dropped off dramatically. Seems to be no magic formula, purely luck. Gotta treat them as disposables, in some cases, highly disposable

I bought my first tornado kit on around March 2, and they're still going, been used every day since then. No dip in performance, still seem the same now as when new. Since bought a riva kit as backup for summer hols, they've only been used a fortnight, and are now back in the box. Silver Bullet batts, using the same 2 for 3 months now, no dropoffs, 18650s are the best I've used for long life and high power. Sd batts, had 4 on the go at the time, and they all felt like they were knackered

I can only comment on 510s as thats all I use, but... when i do have a troublesome one, it's always a normal 510. Sometimes they kick right from the off, other times it can take a few hours to a few days. So, I always have a Low Resistance one on the go, and alternate. Sooner or later, the normal 510s start producing, and when they do, they are often better than LR. But LR's do tend to 'work' straight away, so have one of each on the go, bes tof both worlds and helps ease any frustration

...the charger which comes with the tornados take 6 hours to charge. Not so, Bucko, mine takes around 2 hours... Well, I'm guessing either ya have the compact tornado kit as this has the usb quick charger, or ya got lucky somehow? the normal tornado starter kit has the slow 6 hour one. Seven people from my work bought the same from TECC, and they're all moaning about how long it takes to charge lol.

Yes, Matchless is a very clever name, really like that one. And the packaging and site is top class.
I think it's good. A cheap introduction to E-cigs. I'm sure there's be loads who like them. But I'm also equally sure they'd find their way to a better and more sustainable E-cig eventually.

510/901 is the atomiser type. There's dozens of atomisers, these are probably the 2 most commonly used. Of the 2, the 510 is probably the most popular.
510 has bigger throat hit 901 more flavour. Allegedly.
It's personal taste, me, I love the 510, not so much the 901.

Not had an atty like that for ages. but I'd take it as a sign its goosed. It took me ages to come round to accepting atties are a disposable item. I used to mess around with dying atties trying various methods to fix them. It's not worth the hassle anymore. Chuck it and stick a new one on. That's my answer

Ah, I see TW are doing Tornado kits in red and pink at £34-99. Is that the deal you seen? That's a decent deal alright, but don't fancy those colours mind Don't get the £24-99 Tornado kits, there's only one atomiser, you need the 2 for sure. I'd still go for the Riva. for an extra £1-£2 more, the Riva has a fast charger which does the job in say 2 hours...the charger which comes with the tornados take 6 hours to charge. Also, the Riva comes with 2 different atomisers, one regular, and one is Low resistance. Another bonus that. Pg is liquid with a propylene glycol base, probably the most widely used. VG is vegetable glycerin base, supposed to produce more vapour (but clogs the atomisers at times due to its thickness) Edit the nomad 905...not in the same league as Riva/tornado/Ego too many reasons to list why. They're not rubbish. But not great either.
