I received a lipo yesterday for a Hcigar VT200 and it's the first time i have seen this yellow sticker on the package and saying it does not meet rule 18 and some other of the EU regulation, i am guessing it's either TPD related or because it's Chinese made and entering the EU. I agree with what your saying VapingBad with the likes of DNA based mods, it really is getting close to be not worth bothering ordering these from FT or elsewhere in China. A prime example recently was Ecig one were selling the Hcigar Vt133 for £61 not so long ago, Next day delivery and UK support if required. You couldn't get one for less than £76 from China at the time, basically a DNA200 in a mod for the retail cost of the board. How long did it take to come (via Sweden??), just had to order one myself Very quick as far as lipo's are concerned just 10days bob

Very good @romney, It's a dinky little thing but the flavour is immense. The only slight negative using it on the Squeeze is it sits slightly proud due to the fixed 510, otherwise It's an ideal partner for this mod.

From our experience and with numerous mods purchased over the past 2 and a bit years we have only had 2 failures, and they were both at the bottom of the price range, first being a vamo, and the second an Istick20 (both mysteriously were being used by my wife i may add)
So for me the mid to slightly more expensive mods that have certainly come to market in the last year or so seem to be pretty damn reliable and good value for money.
I also agree the mods have become cheaper, whilst also continuing to improve with time.

I still think all the niceties they are now saying about vaping is solely down to the initial fear and lies they deliberately set out to destroy vaping, when it didn't work and more folk started stating the benefits they felt health wise, panic ensued, not only with Governments, but the two main players likely to loose millions if not billions. It really makes you wonder if they can do this to vaping, what else are they up to?
Now Big P and T want their share as the writings on the wall for tobacco, and the useless nicotine replacement crap Big P dish out. So now they are having to tread carefully, give a bit of praise here and there, after all they are now a player. The bit i love is they will never get another penny from me or millions like us.
On the other hand i could be totally wrong, but hey ho.

Well after dropping my original kayfun 5 and breaking the glass, I finally got my new glass to replace it. Having not used it for a while everything seemed to have siezed up and I had to resort to pliers to undo it all. How stupid is that?! Managed to muller the threads at the top so now the whole things useless . Sorry just needed to rant. jacq13, You may be able to get a replacement top from Creme de Vape in the UK, or if you don't mind the wait pick up a sxk Kayfun 5 from FT for much cheapness and just as good, i can speak from experiance having both.

My new addition to squonking, not too happy with the Maze, I prefer the NarDa Just goes to prove how we are all different in our likes and dislikes. I found it to be one of the best yet, twin Nichrome coils which i find great for virtually no delay in ramp up,and good flavour to boot.

@get Off My Cloud, I have two of the Bassen (Blacks) 26650 >4500mah and a stupid claim of 60amp pulse, I think Mooch rated them 20amp constant, and 25amp pulse. I was not impressed with them really, and only got them with a Hcigar VT75. I actually found it better using the conversion sleave and running 18650's.
No real improvement in vape time, and they seemed to sag pretty badly, hence the return to my 25R's or HG2's
