Just checking in and thought I would add some stuff......
On the mg / ml thing. One ml of water weighs 1g, so if eliquid has 12mg / ml then it's 1.2% nicotine which is sometimes how these things are labelled. There isn't really a reliable calculation for comparing cigarettes and eliquid strength as far as I can tell. This is because there isn't really any way of telling how much is absorbed. A cloud of vapour comes out on exhale and undoubtedly contains a percentage of the nicotine. If you vape too much strong liquid you'll know about it. A bit like when you get a head rush after smoking a fag.
I'm not a fan of the shop on York Way having bought some unbelievably awful clearo in my early days, which they claim was genuine Kanger. It definitely wasn't. I wouldn't be surprised if they told you all other eliquid is dangerous, but they would be wrong. They strike me as being in it for the cash and only the cash, which makes me worry about where they buy their stuff from.
The battery exploded because it was attached to an iPad charger (according to various people on vaping forums), although I haven't figured out what relevance that would have yet. I had assumed that the USB charger would regulate the voltage applied to the battery, regardless of which USB socket it was plugged into. If that's not the case, then we should definitely be careful about how we charge our eGo style batteries. I always used to charge mine on a PC USB and never had any problems, but I wouldn't have thought twice about using one of those plugs that is supplied with a new iPhone.
And finally, have you guys checked out the new Aerotank Mega? I'm very tempted, especially if I can get one before I go to Turkey next month so I can leave the expensive kit safely tucked away in a hiding place somewhere. Fcuk losing £200 worth of ecig in Turkey.
