My Totally Wicked ego twist VV is still going strong after nearly 4 months, though, Flock
. I also have a couple of mini ego batteries which are also fine. I'm using GS-H2s or CE4s instead of the cones, now though.
Sal, I've not come across ecure before either. Is there a shop near you? If you can get to one, then they can show you loads of stuff which makes it much easier to choose something good. That kit by Innokin from MyePack looks good. You could do a lot worse! There are a lot of tried and tested sites here, most of which have starter kits.
I ordered some iClear16s the other day, and some replacement coils, simply because you were all talking about them! They arrived this morning. I have clearos coming out of my ears, now!
