    HI

    Im new to vaping off analogs 2 weeks and loving it.

    I got the ego c twist , i paid for 2 900mah batts but have a feeling i have been sent to 600mah batts .

    Can some one please tell me the dimensions of 600 and 900mah batts please so i can confirm , thanks in advance


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 663 ✭✭✭masonchat


    The batteries i received are 4inch long (100mm) would these be 900mah ?


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


    650mAh = 98mm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 663 ✭✭✭masonchat


    thanks grindle , i dont want to get shirty with company unless im totally sure , so the 900mah are longer than 100mm then ?


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


    Should be 111mm. Definitely Twists?

    Funny you should mention the length. I found an old 650 non twist battery recently and it's absolutely tiny!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,065 ✭✭✭Fighting Irish


    I use to own a kango ego twist 2(?), it stopped working. I want something similar but a bit
    smaller, same(or more) amount of vapour.

    Any ideas guys?


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

    Vision Spinner 400mAh, but you'll have to have a few to get through the day.

    So a few months ago an 18650 battery I had stopped charging to my dismay. Today I was vaping away and had the spare drained battery in my pocket and so put it on charge. Imagine my panic when it wouldn't make a connection and start charging too. Couldnt imagine why. Really pissed off cause i was down to 1 then and I really didn't want to have to buy some more if i didn't have to.

    Then a thought struck me, what if the battery i have in my mod is the drained battery and this one is fully charged. Lo and behold!!!!!!!! It was the case!

    I then got excited because i needed to check out the "useless" battery to see what's what. Turns out that that was fully charged all this time and thats why it wouldn't accept a charge.

    I am not a smart man at times.

    How long does a delivery from Fasttech usually take to arrive? Thinking of ordering some juices.

    I wouldn't bother with fasttech for juice, you can get 100mls from bargain vapor for €13.99 and its as good as anything fasttech would have (still not great though). They do next day delivery, you'll be waiting a month or more for anything you order from fasttech.

    Ok. There are a million tobacco flavours there. Any idea which one is nicest? I don't like the sweet ones. 100ml is a lot...

    I think they do 5ml sample bottles too if you want to try them out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    I've just made a Kayfun esque S coil for a protank head. I will be using it in my RG500 tank which, unlike the protank, has plenty of room around the wick. I am determined to create the perfect coil for it.

    Am I mad?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 663 ✭✭✭masonchat


    Hi. has anyone experience with H2 Bottom Coil Clearomizers they are very cheap from fasttech , have ordered some, but wondering why no irish vendor seems to sell them ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭Neil_Sedaka


    I have used them for a while and find them great. Pretty much the same performance as an Evod. They hold 2ml of juice which is a bonus.

    If the atomizer head is tightened down more than it needs it puts pressure on the firing pin. This can effect the connection to the charger.

    What I have done is use a small flat head screwdriver to gently prise up the pin slightly on each side (0.5mm). Once I do that it makes the connection to the charger. There are guides showing how to this on various forums. Hope this helps.

    Other than cleaning, does a mech mod require any other maintenance?


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


    don't think so. at least I don't do anything more than that with the one I have. quick wipe with a tissue to take of any juice that might have leaked out and ready to go with the next tank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭Neil_Sedaka

    Just keep it clean and don't drop it too often :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 663 ✭✭✭masonchat


    One thing that is confusing me , if someone could please clarify , is there a replaceable part at the top of the ego c twist battery ?

    And if so what is the correct part and how often do they need to be replaced ? thanks in advance

    Ahem No. Twists like all ego battery's are sealed units. This pic;
    557149637_260.jpg
    Shows the parts.
    The batt is the long bit and the rest is the atomizer and cartridge.
    If you mean the atomizer, referred to as the head in this pic, then it needs replacing after a month or so. Different for different people, it really depends on how much juice you use.
    The battery is threaded to take any 510 threaded atomizer or cartomizer or clearomizer. It's espically threaded to take ego threaded fittings. Ego thread is just a 510 thread with an outer thread to hold the cone thing, CE4 and such come with the two threads on them.
    Hope this helps.

    thanks tommy yeah was getting confused with coils at atomizer heads noob lol


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


    Whipped out an old 306 attie today for old times sake. Jeepers, I'd forgotten how great a vape they give. Pity they only hold a couple of drops but they do pack some punch and flavour.

    Wonder how they perform with that SS Drip Shield. Probably holds a few extra drops and makes it leak proof if nothing else.


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 Vape Freaks


    Must dig out some of my old 901 carts and do a comparison.
    Maybe we should start a thread for "days gone by gear" :p

    My first e-cig was a horrible cigalike, then a 901, then an eGo-T and after that.........well I can't say as I sell them :p

    It's funny, I knew from day 1, even with the cigalike, that I would not smoke again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 225 ✭✭SicklySweet


    Figured i'd post here instead of a new thread, but has anyone heard anything about Mom and Pops changing their juices? Friend of mine has been vaping for about 9 months now, and since she got her latest batch 2 weeks ago and her skin has been flaking and she's getting ulcers on her tongue. She has no allergies, apart from nickel. Juices in question are scuba orange and paradise delight. Though they're side effects from vaping, she's been vaping for 9 months with no issues. So i'm not sure. If anyone can offer anything it would be appreciated :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 239 ✭✭mccard


    In the market for a new clearomizer. Torn between the KANGER AEROTANK and the JOYETECH EMODE CLEAROMIZER. Anyone have any opinions on which is better?

    All I can say is that I have noticed huge differences between batches of liquids from every vendor, VG/PG ratio changing and the nic level....sometimes I think they make it up tbh........this is a completely unregulated area and buyer beware....and be warned this forum is full of fanboys cheering on their favourite vendor/juice......because they get freebies from them for doing so.....

    Go and take a look at the US forum and the UK ones, way less bias tbh.....too big to manipulate. I don't live in Ireland anymore so have a healthy disrespect for cliques....:)

    DIY mixing is the only way to go for consistent quality juices customised to one's personal taste IMHO

    Surely that's a bit harsh dePeatrick? I don't think I've ever got a freebie from any vendor. I tend to buy juices like mom and pops or halo from the local vendors but I'm sure they are the real thing.

    I use UKV sometimes but I find its way too snipey and 'superior' for normal users like me. I think most posters on here are just trying to be helpful and generally pretty nice people.

    The only freebies I receive are from HOL...

    Strange post - if you think someone's shilling you should report them to mewso. Otherwise it's a baseless slur.
    Is the post directed at everyone who likes certain brands over another? If someone likes one coffee over another should they keep schtum about it? Does liking certain coffees invalidate their opinion on all other coffees*?

    *hint hint - would love free coffee.

    As for the other forums being less biased - I don't get where the bias is here? People generally talk about what they want to buy or what they've just bought. Simple concept. No need for conspiracy theories.
    If you want bias check out Imeo's forum on ECF or start posting links to clones on UKV.

    Had 3 dud XL carts in a row so want to try something new:

    Innokin iClear-30-S
    HS USA Mix 100ml -
    Cone for Vivi or similar Tank
    Smok EMAX VV/VW 1300mah

    So I ordered this stuff, which arrived last Thursday. Initially I was a bit disappointed that I was getting a regular enough burnt hit from it.

    But since then, I'm a little bit happier with it. At the very least it's been consistent for 4 days or so now, and the burnt taste isn't actually that regular. It's certainly a step above the standard CE clearomizers.

    The thing I find with the XL carts & JTank is that when they work, they work brilliantly - great hit & flavour. But then I'm quite likely to get a few duds in a row, which really bugs me.

    I ordered a nemesis clone from fasttech 13/2/14 $25 free shipping, ETA (i assume this is when it is expected to arrive at fasttech) is currently at 24/2/14 then we will probably have the usual restocking , waiting to be packaged , being packaged, bla bla stages.

    Last night i ordered a nemesis clone from https://www.vaporbreak.com/en/ $22 shipping $6 = $28, was delighted to get an email this morning order has shipped and tracking number provided.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 757 ✭✭✭platinums


    I got a hankering for some blue cheese vape, bit of stilton be nice.
    Wonder if anyone can make it... vapable that is.

    Could mix it with a nice strawberry jam ejuice.:pac:


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


    So bought a tesla the other day and just dropped it, about 3 feet. Sturdy bastard of a thing! all that happened was the bottom part of the protank is slightly bent, it still fires so i'll replace it this evening and everything will be golden!

    MY favourite quote on Vaping devices from non other than Pastor Ezekial
    "Who knows what secrets they have hidden up in those things? They could be stuffed full of niggerweed or some other kind of dope."

    Who am i kidding that's not even my favourite, theres too many.

    That site is satirical right?


  • Registered Users Posts: 198 ✭✭Gillian72


    They are unbelievable! They are obsessed by sex, they turn everything into something about sex!

    AND they are racist and homophobes. Its hard to believe that these people actually exist!

    Its is funny, but they are an evil lot, I wouldn't like to meet one of those "Christan's" down a dark alley way, they are so full of hate!


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


    It's a satirical site. They aim to point out how breathlessly idiotic religious ideologies are by constantly baiting for victims of Poe's Law ("the idea that without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism").


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭colly10


    I dont think the site is serious. It seems to be set up as a pisstake.
    The majority of threads are on things like does god hate Poland, why blacks dont like a good sermon, why god hates estonia etc.

    I see a lack of threads about questions on their fate, looking for advice etc to take this as serious. If it was a serious site, there'd be people looking for advice or have more general questions.

    Still, very odd though

    I have to admit, I didn't read any other threads. I'm glad it is a p!ss take, although there are so called "Christians" who go on exactly like this, so many of them are horrible racist & homophobes. That is why I wasn't sure if it was real or not...

    The people on Phil Busardo Facbook thread are calling it fake now as well. Its gas the way they share all the links to quotes out of the bible.

    I found a satirical blog today, its as funny as hell. Its called 27b/6. This one gave me a giggle:

    They don't have to convince everybody Captain Smartypants. It's like the Onion, trusting and naive folk will be drawn in.
    Doubt any satire website aims for sceptics because we don't believe anything.
    I'm not even sure who wrote this - me, the version of me I perceive, the version I aspire to be, or the NSA.

    Hi Guys! :) Is this the best starter kit:

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

    I've never used a Kanger Twist before, is it the best?

    My Sister-in-Law is gonna try vapping, she really loves her cigarettes, but she is keen to give vaping a try.

    Sadly she had an accident a few years ago. She broke her neck, so she is now paralyzed. The reason I'm saying all this is coz my Sis-in-Law only has partial use of her hands and arms. But in fairness to her she is a she is managing really well, she is always pushing herself to do more and more.

    But I'm worried that she might have some difficulty holding the e-cig and pressing the button, another concern is that she may not be able to change the voltage, although most people leave it at the same setting. She has always family around her who will help out, but I want to recommend something that is easy for her to use. She is able to hold and smoke cigarettes, so she should be able to manage the e-cig.

    So, do people think the Kanger Twist is the best, I always see people recommending it. I use the iTaste VV VW and I love it, but its a funny shaped battery. Out of every 5 clearomizers I buy, either the same or different brands, only 4 will work, they don't seem to register with the battery. I have two iTaste's and its the same with both. I love them, but I can't 100% depend on them. I wanna recommend something that my Sis-in-Law can depend on.

    My Sis-in-Law is a trooper, even though she has been through so much, she is still always smiling and upbeat, she never ever complains. She really is an inspiration. I'd love to see her giving up the smokes!

    Thanks a million! :)

    Does anyone know where else I can get it, or suggest an alternative?
