    Made a photo of most of my vaping gear, i am sticking with stainless stuff as much as possible as the coating on the coloured stuff just ends up peeling off within a few weeks because i like to carry/hold my ecigs. Yes Hyper-D there are better tanks out now intended for the Ego/Evod style batteries that are pyrex instead of plastic like the Smok Aro, Kanger Mini Protanks and Evod Glass to name just a few. The price of them is very comparable to what the plastic ones used to be a few months ago before most got discontinued. I haven't tried my Protank 3 out yet, i have used my Mini Protank 3 however which i guess would vape similarly since it has the same dual coil but the tank is just smaller. I will say that one of the biggest improvements i found was the Airflow Control Valve which can be bought seperately for around

    The tank could be on the way out, the plastic tanks do crack after a while. I used to fill mine with water then hold finger over end hold above my head and blow into it then hold it with the base pointing toward floor and blowing again. This tests both the top and bottom of tank for cracks as water will come out the tank if it is cracked. Otherwise it is your coil that's the problem in which case you should try a different one of those. I've recently got a couple of new additions to my collection, an Innokin itaste 134 and Innokin Cool Fire I. They are a bit of a backward step from my previous purchase of Innokin SVD as the itaste 134 only controls wattage and the Cool Fire I has nothing variable, you just stick an 18350 battery in and go. The itaste 134 is far too large to be anything but a stay at home mod and is just right for my shovels. It's a hefty little blighter at 385g with battery, tank and liquid. I am currently still using my Protank II copy from Emist with a Kanger Airflow Control Valve, i've been vaping that thing to death and it just keeps on going unlike anything plastic tanked i've used. All i've had to change is coils every couple of weeks. I've bought some rubber rings for both the tank and base but haven't had to replace them yet over 2 months on from first using the tank. The itaste 134 came with an iclear 30 tank and the Cool Fire I came with an iclear 30B which i haven't used. I still haven't used the 2x iclear 30's included with the SVD neither. I have also added a Kanger Protank 3 and Kanger Aerotank to collection and reckon i shouldn't be wanting for anything but juice for a good while to come.

    An online shop i have used before - http://love-vaping.com/ - was closed through most of September then announced it was closing down. The closing down sale has been going on for over a week now so items like mod batteries are sold out but still plenty of things left. It'll be well worth taking a look at the very least. P&P appears to be

    I have been very happy with my Innokin SVD, so much so that it is my ecig of choice now and the rest are barely touched. The cheapskate in me still comes through as i'm also using Protank 2 clones by Emist but i changed the base ring for genuine Kanger Aerotank ones so the airflow is controlled and that has made a HUGE difference. I first bought one airflow control valve from ebay seller smashingdealsdirect as a trial and found it was an improvement right away so oredered 2 more from another ebay seller releaselighting. Shortly after purchasing the items from releaselighting i found the airflow control valves on lovevaping.com at a reduced price and ordered 2 more which proved to be just as well since the items supplied by releaselighting were inferior quality replicas which i cannot recommend. I also bought a couple of efest 18650 batteries for the SVD so i have 5 batteries currently for that mod. I got the goods from http://love-vaping.com/ in good time and the products i ordered were genuine items so i can recommend these. I don't know how good/bad their juices are though. They are currently closed until end of September but still worth bookmarking for future reference.

    Finally had some money that was long overdue paid in bank so yesterday treated myself to an Innokin Itaste SVD which arrived today, it is the full kit with 2x iclear 30 tanks. I also ordered 2x AW IMR 18650 batteries seperately though from same seller and my partner got a pink skull version of the Itaste MVP Powerbank. From another seller i ordered a Nitecore i2 charger and a couple of Smoktech 7a safety fuses which i will use in the H100 mod above as that has no safety shut off features and one battery supplied with it is an unprotected Li-ion type so pretty dangerous to use as is on that mod. These items should be here in a day or two, i only selected 2nd class shipping on those. My partners MVP came with an iclear 16B tank which doesn't work on the mod for some reason, tried it on the SVD and the same happens where it will fire initally on the first try but afterwards there is nothing. When we found a battery that it did work on, an old Evod one, there was a disgusting burnt taste at first which has now gone so suspect a dodgy coil. The SVD came sealed and upon opening and inspecting the item found the screw on base assembly with the spring for negative end of battery had come apart and the black plastic part was stuck in mod tube. I had to make a hook out of a hair clip to remove it, reassembled it as it should be and it works fine. I have tried it with both a Kanger Unitank and the Kanger Mini Protank 3 as seen in pic and it is a lovely mod so far. I may try it with the supplied iclear 30's in future though have had read conflicting reviews on it. One of the supplied tanks was done up too tight around the base so it'll be fun and games getting it apart or else it'll have a short lifespan as the coil cannot be replaced. The other tank is fine and i was able to strip that easily.

    Over 4 months without smoking now. Here is a reminder of what i started vaping with, 2 Evod clone starter sets with 1100mah batteries. Since then i've got 2x Ego-V 900mah VV batteries with 3.2, 3.7 & 4.2 settings, 1x 1100mah Ego-C Twist VV battery and an H100 mod kit incorrectly supplied for an X-6 1300mah VV battery i ordered so i kept it and paid the seller another

    Seems an age since i quit smoking but in reality 10th March isn't that long ago. I'm still in plaster for about another week (D-Day 6th June, H-Hour 13.30). The Wotofo Evod tanks i got with the batteries in the starter kits only lasted about 2-4 weeks. I bought proper Kanger Evod tanks as replacements and one of them is knackered already after 6 weeks of constant use. I've started using the second Kanger Evod tank now and bought a Kanger Mini Protank 3 as replacement for the other. The coating on the black battery started 'rippling', i guess it's because i like to hold my ecig when i am on the computer which, since my op, has been most of the time. I scratched the coating off so it is silver now. My next purchase will be a couple of Kanger eGo Twist Variable Voltage batteries which should be a huge improvement over the standard Evod batteries.

  14. 7x used Acoms servos shoved through letterbox and hit the floor with a thud, i was not happy. All have been tested and are fortunately fine still. Can now use the servo supplied in the HBX Cross Tiger as a paperweight, have read online how inferior those Chinese copies of the Acoms S3003 are.
