Vaping is as expensive, or cheap as you make it... You don't need that nice shiny, nor do you need another bottle of exotic juice to add to the 50 in your cupboard... but it is nice, and if you can afford it, and you want to, then why not buy nice things? You have given up a very expensive habbit, and improved your health and quality of life in doing so, you deserve to be able to treat yourself. Personally I'm going for the cheap as possible option at the minute, because I am treating myself and my family in other ways with the money I'm saving

problem i have hence upgrade is daughter games and other half games i game all at same time,or daughter is on youtube on laptop and on pc gaming.4.25mb is struggling lol annoying though we moved exactly 1 mile up road and lost 12mb,plus need a good speed as may start running some game servers again and map uploads take for ever one game i had to upload 75gb of maps back ,in end gave up and mate in the USA did it with his works buisness connection I read somewhere that modern games only use up about 50mb an hour, whilst actually playing, you will have more problems playing games if your line quality is poor, than you will if you have low speeds, speedtest have another site for gamers, called www.pingtest.net I believe, check your connection quality on there.

Did someone say VISTA???, got the shivers brrrrrrrrrrr. It is no surprise to me that there was never a Vista2 . It is the absolute bitch of operating systems. Ccleaner is an excellent free clean up utilty with a registry cleaner and a junk files cleaner. I just installed and ran it on my nieces lappy and it found five and a half gigs of crap!!! There is also a startup cleaner so you can turn off unnecessary programs that start up with Vista brrrrr, did it agin . It is surprising what stuff you can have there that you know nothing about. Worth a shot, and it`s free. I would think you definitely need a defrag as well, again that can make an incredible difference!! Thumbs up on the defrag, it's amazing the difference a defrag can make, coupled with good maintenance like managing your startup, temp files, disk cleanup, registry etc... all can be maintained by options already built into windows, no need for any extra apps, other than anti virus

Ah but mine goes up to 100 meg very soon, then 110 after that Saying that, how high will it/can it go? Not sure you need more than 50 really, 75 or 100 meg would be, err mega It's the upload speeds that suck on Virgin, and british broadband in general.... The main reason for faster unlimited broadband is for file sharing, there's no point in having stupidly fast downloads, if you can't share it back, especially if you use private trackers, as we have to these days. The problem is you have to keep a 1:1 share ratio, so you can technically only download as fast as your upload speed

The Kgo-VV uses Desay Lipo batteries which are of a good quality..How long a battery will last you obviously depends on how hard you are working it..However with it having a passthrough feature makes it better for people who work and vape at a desk because you can charge and vape at the same time. Higher voltage, lower resistance, more vaping etc., are all factors that define how long a battery will last you. Straightforward commonsense reasons. If it does not suit your vaping style and preferences better to go for bigger batteries like you said before. I use 2 x 650 mAh twists and 2 x 1300 mAh VV spinners and rotate between them and they easily last me a day and a half between charges. If I used a 650 mAh twist on it's own it would probably last me 3 -4 hours at my vaping preference. Not very high at all macca, 2.6 - 2.8 ohm at around 3.5 to 3.8 volts... get 3 hours tops out of them... I usually get over a day out of a single ultrafire 3000mah (actual mah much lower obviously) So I think I'm gonna stick to over 1000mah and high drain (I wont be buying ultrafire again, in fact I didn't this time, got loads for free, but they've served me well to be fair)

Well I don't suppose we'll ever know what kind of battery was in the Ego VV, all we know is it is 650 mah macca, it lasts only a few hours for all 3 of us that bought one, no good for any of us.

You can also find 900 mAh 14500 batteries. At 14500 sizes it's all about C rating. Protected Lithium cobalt (ICR) 14500 batteries exist at higher capacity but they will not be able to provide adequate current for e-cig use due to their chemistry..What you found was probably a Protected AW ICR. IMR (Lithium Manganese ) with higher discharge ratings is required for this size for e-cig use.. Unfortunately IMR batteries also have a lower energy density so the rating will be around 600 mAh.. It's not all about mAh. It's more about discharge ratings and total battery wattage. Its a shame, because it's quite a neat looking little mod. But that is, I guess, the price you pay for its small size.

Yes.. Realistic rating of a 14500 battery is about 600 mAh.. thanks Macca, gonna leave it then, saw an AW at 750, but even that's too low, especially as you say the realistic rating is likely around 600. after my brush with the ego VV 650 mah passthrough... I'm not touching any VV device less than 1000mah ever again

Right, I'm sold, subject to getting the right answers to the following questions...
Can I charge a 14 series battery in 1 of my tr001 chargers?
What mah do these batteries go up to?

Sorry Alvo, what explains what ??? Why the LT from Jason fits the Novas, and pretty much everything I've tried on it, yet some LTs don't fit novas, others don't take visions, and so on. It seems like there are tens of different versions, all have different problems to varying degrees, but all have a problem of some sort, for instance with the one from Jason, someone on here had a problem with the centre pin, it came off I believe so now I'm really careful with that. Maybe we could merge all the good things about each LT, remove all the bad parts, and make a super LT that is actually perfect... Glad you've found a fix though

Ahhh that explains that then Karma... so many different LT's all under the same banner, but very different products. I can't recommend the V4 from jason enough Karma, it fits everything I've tried, including my visions and vivis, and is as sturdy as a rock. It really is a massive improvement on my black LT, although tbf, the black one does still work
