    That's always the trade-off with DX, they have great prices but you have to be willing to wait.

    Hmmm. I've avoided my house burning down by not buying lithium batteries from DX - or cheap chargers, either.
    I see your point, and I know a lot of their stuff is just pure crap. Their batteries seem to be decent though, or at least some of them anyway. I got two genuine protected panasonic 18650s there that seem fine, and I've seen DX recommended on a few other sites, though some of their unknown brand batteries may be a bit more iffy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,904 ✭✭✭✭Dan Jaman


    Some of DX's suppliers are as iffy as hell - I got some e-juice from them when I was starting out and it had me in spots. I don't know what that supplier was making it from , but it sure wasn't food grade PG and likely made in a bathtub.
    Going by the reports of Trustfire and Ultrafire batteries on candlepower forums, it's a total crapshoot whether you get exploding batteries or not. On balance, imo, it's worthwhile paying a bit extra to get batteries that are sourced from a genuine supplier and not something very dodgy.

    Ok so i got my old lavatube replaced and now the new one is flashing LO on the screen when i try to vape and when i put a fresh charged battery in it only shows 1bar of charge on the screen :confused:
    Dose this with every atty i try along with showing 0.0 ohm's when i cheak any atty

    What am i doing wrong here ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,026 ✭✭✭grindle


    Is the atty screwed on too tight? Try checking the ohmage while slowly twisting it on.
    If it's anything like mine, there's a narrow window of firing opportunity.

    If it's doing it with every atty it's probably an internal short in the lavatube itself.

    Eagerly awaiting my Clockworks RTA. Looking for advice (and link to if anyone has one handy) on what drip tip will sit proudly on it. Went for polished aluminium. Cheers

    Any of the Kir Fanis ones here would look pretty damn snazzy.

    Yup it was a failure of the seal (silicon o-ring) around "+" pin
    I returned it [2nd one i have sent back] and i was offered a vmax in place of another Lavatube

    e-smokeireland.eu is finally back up

    http://fdjbg.saezd.servertrust.com/Default.asp

    with the weirdest URL

    pricing on the houseofliquid stuff is the same.. surprised by that

    typical the site comes on on thursday night though, be monday before I get any :/

    Feck it......out of the country next week and was hoping to get some of the cigarillo stuff. Ah well, just have to wait.

    I see they supply Liqua 30ml for 9.25 + free shipping.......3 euro cheaper than TBS then.

    Lot of good stuff there now.

    Definitely upping the ante........


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    if you order some you could probably ask them not to ship it until you get back. or you could take the chance and just wait :)

    all I know is tomorrow morning there'll be at least 50ml of cigarillos and eden already spoken for


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,305 ✭✭✭Green Hornet


    Nah, I'll hold off until I'm back. Impressed with their stock actually. Nice to see new stuff locally. Even the Phoenix is a cheap option for somebody who didn't want to spend 40 euro on a Clockworks RDA. Don't know if it's any good or not but I suppose most drippers should work okay.

    Seriously competitive prices for almost everything - free shipping too. Fair dues!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    oh, the phoenix
    that's what I wanted to order, thanks :)

    it's free shipping up to 65 euro
    10% discount code of boards on orders over 20


  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    More than upped the ante in my opinion.

    That's serious inventory, you don't see a lot of that stuff in most UK stores.
    Fair play to him, Paul's already got my business - looking at the goodies on the new site he's going to be getting a LOT more of my business!

    Damn it.....I was kind of feeling like quitting vaping, even didn't vape at all today until 12 o'clock. Felt a bit like hitting the wall and that it was nearly time to bite the bullet. Not go back to analogues but off the whole shebang. Kind of fed up with vaping and as much better than smoking as it is, I'd rather not be inhaling anything other than fresh air.

    New stuff comes in and I'm dying to try it all again!

    Good.

    Better to spend money on cartos rather than death sticks mate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,305 ✭✭✭Green Hornet


    Yeah - didn't intend going back on the death sticks though. Intended to quit vaping as well. Not ready yet though but it's my intention at some stage.

    e-smokeireland's new site seems flaky. I had to re-register and it won't process an order - gets stuck at the checkout.

    Had the sme problem but in fairness to Paul he replied immediately to my mail. Bit of a pain having to re-register but **** happens.

    Just one thing to note, esmoke Ireland has added a postal charge of 2.40. But there is a 10% discount code "boards" so you need to order €24+ to make it back


  • Registered Users Posts: 255 ✭✭donkey oatey


    called out to esi (or as i call it made a pilgrimage to the temple). great service and selection and got to chat about the different options which is great for a newbie like me.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,756 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    Did you leave with any nice toys? :-)

  • Registered Users Posts: 255 ✭✭donkey oatey


    left one of my 2 ego t batteries on the bus with my only mega dual coil on it (because i'm ditzy) so i got an ego t upgrade 1000mah, 3 mefa dual coils and 30ml of pink tiger (and met the tiger it's named after). not an exciting shopping list but i'm happy. love that pink tiger juice and the mega dual coils are the best cartomisers i've used so far.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,756 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    Excellent. Glad your happy with your purchases. The 1000mAh batts are a life saver when you're gonna be away from a charger for quite a while!


  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    Got a few bits from ESI today.

    The Kanger KR 510 clearos are really bloody good, no break in or wicking problems and super clean tasting. The liquid always sits right next to the head, don't know how it works this way either! It's the best small clearo I've ever used and less than €3.
    I also got a Kanger T2 - also a brilliant clearo, not dissimilar from a Vision ego clearo but with a bigger capacity and replaceable heads.

    Kanger cartos were always hit and miss for me but these clearos are really, really good.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,756 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    Yeah I was just about to post about the KR 510, the tapered design traps juice around the wicks, great bloody design!

    Like the way you can take the top and bottom off the mouth piece to wipe away condensation build up! Great clearos


  • Registered Users Posts: 689 ✭✭✭sept09baby


    Can't wait for payday tomorrow - tempted by loads on the site. Want to stock up on the essentials before vapefest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭DirtyBollox


    I think I have broken 1 of my 2 batteries that came with my ego-c :(

    Basically i screwed the cone base on wrong and tightened it and now when i press the button on the battery nothing happens. the blue light comes on but the atty doesnt work and there is no noise from it at all, have tried charging it but the charger flashes red and then goes green straight away :(

    i think i need a new one now and i need to get it and sort it out before vapefest


    also anyone happen to know the name of the brick and mortar in the square? cant for the life of me remember the name of it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,674 ✭✭✭DirtyBollox


    digby you're a legend!!! worked perfectly! even worked on the cone base that was screwed on wrong to it that was pushed in too far or whatever too!!

    All ready and primed for vapefest!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 746 ✭✭✭Nonamigo


    Does anyone know if e-smokeireland is going to accept debit cards any time soon? It would make it so much easier to pay for stuff:)

    hi all, looking for some advice.

    I am a smoker of 20 a day for the past 20 years or so. Really starting to affect me now and have to give them up.
    I have spent the last couple of days going through all the advice and information here and elsewhere. Still a bit confused but think I have the general gist to get started. Some advice to see if im on the right track here.

    Batteries- the more ahms the longer it should last. Preferable to use a manual.

    Atomiser/cartomiser- most batteries allow you to use either so long as they are compatible. i.e 510 thread.

    liquid- varying strengths and flavours. cartridges and cartomisers can be refilled.

    After that then there are a huge amount of options. Im looking to invest now in a starter pack that will initially get me off the fags or at least reduce them considerably. Preferably i would like the battery to last for most of the day and, as work is quite busy, something that does not require to be filled every time or too often. Also what additions should i include in my order- would like to have a couple of weeks supply at all times, just in case. Sorry I know this repeats a lot of what is already said but any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/xldcc.htm

    handy starter kit

    the batteries will last a day, most likely more
    if you want to try something that isn't a cartomiser in the future you can just buy it and throw it on those batteries (so long as it has 510 or ego fittings, but you already figured that out)

    youll want a mouthpiece too
    http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/category-s/1822.htm

    just slots into the top of the cartomiser, handier than wrapping your lips around a potentially warm carto


    after that all you need is juice.

    http://www.e-smokeireland.eu/product-p/eltorocn.htm I love this stuff but you're best off ordering a few 10ml bottles of different juices to figureout what you like

    nicotine strength is never easy to say what you oughta get. 18 is a good round number for someone coming off the fags, if you get the 10ml bottles and think it's too high or too low at least you didnt spend too much money and it wont cost too much tog et another 10ml in a higher/lower strength

    flavour wise.. everyone's pretty different. have a look in the juice review thread for what people like, e-smokeirelands juices are pretty good imo

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭tommy2bad


    Hi Elbow,

    What do you mean my site? Im just going of what it says on the site. See below:

    Classic and Design model batteries should hold their charge for around 7 hours of use, or 220 puffs, before needing a recharge. XL model batteries should hold their charge for around 9 hours of use and MAX model batteries for around 24 hours use.

    Might say that on the site but in reality, hours use is closer to 100 mAh per hour. Just to add to this 'how long's a piece of string' question;
    A 150 mAh will last maybe 2hrs and a 650, 6 to 7 hrs.
    Depends on use of course but that seems to be the run of it here.
    That site is too expensive anyway, same thing available elsewhere cheaper.


  • Registered Users Posts: 134 ✭✭chacal


    Yeah i see what you mean but I find them really reliable and the Vapestick brand are really nice. You get two of everything with the starter kits which is better than most. And its an Irish company so im staying green ;)

    2 of everything? You mean like almost every starter kit out there? Numerous Irish sites out there with reliable kits and competitive prices. I'd suggest go with Digby's advice

    anyone ever hear of an ecig air locking? was smoking away on it and was getting little to no vapour on the thing. pulled out the cartridge to see if the hole was blocked and heard a hiss of pressure being released. am not happy. now the cartridge is not working when i press the button. :(

    standard ego-c, battery cone base cone atty and cartridge with silicon base. somehow the silicon is all outta shape, i think it got melted.

    just cleaned the whole rig cause i thought it was a bit too wet, put in a new atty, working fine now i hope, getting a constant burn anyway. i reckon i blew it somehow. oh well.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,756 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    It probably fired in your pocket for a while without you realising.

    Happened me a few times, just make sure ya keep an eye on it, the LR ego c heads run really really hot for some reason, especially when chain vaping it!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    just turn the battery off when you put it in your pocket

    ive actually started using that feature a lot lately, never used to in the past
