Default an i like it but SD review..

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...iew-901-a.html

crash looks that laid back in the way he presses his SD button its amazing he get its to work nine out ten times..

lazy pressing is the simple reason for this.. the reason it always work the second time is because the user take the trouble to press it properly..it needs xxxx pressure to make it work.. if it dosnt get xxxx of pressure it dosnt work.. the fact it always does the second time kind of proves this point..

they dont have dicky switches just dicky users... he he

as for cheap charger he dosnt like and the just as cheap charger he thinks is better.. perhaps if he read this place he might know why we ship the nano and not the dual black one..

the nano is safe and pretty much %100 idiot proof.. one day he might learn that the one he likes isnt.. we were going to ship the dual black ones long ago.. safety reasons stopped us.. they are roughly the same price as the nano..

we dont recommend them now ether.. they are in essence the "kaboom" ones.. and we know exactly why they are...

still he does "kind off" in "spite of" like his pair of screwdrivers..

Nearly every review I have watched is complete rubbish. Prattling along saying absolutely nothing - poor scripts, poor video quality, poor everything. Even the better ones, Scott's for example, overly concentrate on vapour production. I still haven't seen one that says " this thing is as good as smoking, it costs xxx to buy and xxx to maintain and its easy/difficult to live with. It's different from the others because of...whatever"

I did find them useful when researching e-cigs, but I now know that too much of what I saw was hype and I've had to find out by trial and error which way is best for me, and that has been a costly exercise!

When advising smokers on vaping, I tell them to buy any one of the many starter kits available, then switch to the SD when they are ready and able to understand the logic behind this strategy

i refer to them as ten minute puffing contests oldie which is pretty much what most of them are..

i also find it quite sad the poor information given out to newbies.. most of them work when brand new.. the problems come after that..

the other big myth is that costs will drop when the "buy loads of the things" factor wears off... it wont they will just spent the same amount of money replacing the one they start to use for real as they wear out... he he

i sometimes think the desire to spread the e smoking gospel blinds most of them to the faults.. the rest is just sellers propaganda..

I only agree on his charger bit, but see the reason Trog uses the nano one as stated before! It just as most people who buy the SD Are heavy users? I found that needed either more batteries or a faster charger to keep up with my usage! Otherwise you are charging 24/7 I know these things are cheap to get as extras, but when you first get the SD, You suddenly discover u love it and are swapping the 2 batteries constantly before you get some more! So think be nice to include maybe 4 batteries? The charger does it`s job and as Trog says is idiot proof up to now anyhows ha-ha!

I just Sold one of my SD as trying other things and thought just one would be enough? It was a big mistake! but was the black one, and I prefer silver one! so expect another order in next day or so Trog for another silver one and can say of all other things have tried am still using my trusty SD!

Before anyone asks! Why did I bother trying all others? suppose because I can ha-ha!

as a seller the "idiot" proof factor is always there mufftrex.. it has to be.. or at least with us it does.. it probably costs us sales but we dont mind..

the thing about the nano and lithium battery charging in general is there is no such thing as a fully charged battery..

there is just a voltage point the charger shuts off at.. it can be anything between 4 and 4.25 volts...the nano puts more into the battery than the black one.. it just takes ages to put the last bit in before going green..

there really is no need to wait until the nano charger goes green.. it could be said the last two or three hours is wasted time..

we have some soshine chargers.. not cheap ones.. they switch off at just over 4 volts.. take a battery out of the expensive soshine charger that says green.. put it in the nano and the nano will take another three hours to go green.. and very very slowly put more into the battery..

things are not quite as they seem.. the liitle nano does the job it has to.. the problem is folks think they have to be left untill they go green.. they dont.. they also think the faster the charger goes green the better.. it dosnt..

I admit I was not overly amused with the Nano when I first bought my SD.

Went off and wasted money on a double charger.

Now I know better
Only use my Nanos for charging and I actually prefer them

Ok 10 minutes rambling on about a physical item I can kinda understand, but for the love of all things holy there are 6 minute+ reviews on liquids.

C'mon, I mean WTF , why do a vid review on a flavour, and how can it last more than 20 seconds;

1> Here is flavour X from supplier Y
2> Puff puff puff
3> Yummy / Tastes like crap (delete as applicable)
4> The end

This kid seems like a nice guy but, geez, his ummming and I don't know's drove me nuts! At least prepare a little bit before doing a video review! He's done a few of these now and they're all the same.
