My latest product from the people's republic comes in the form of a 'all sizes' battery charger.
Presenting the Fungold Multipurpose Charger, A five quid battery charger that promises to recharge any size (and chemistry) of battery you care to throw at it with a few added safety features for good measure.
It all sounds too good to be true and the item certainly doesn't really look up to much but first appearances can often be wrong.....

 AA's, AAA's this thing charges the lot!

The HG-1412W is made from a strong plastic. Not ABS style by any means but thick and heavy gage it would appear. The overall construction is actually quite good considering the pocket change price you pay. It feels robust enough to take a few knocks and falls without cracking the outer case. Something I would consider quite important when a live mains current has to flow through it.

Four large stiff battery holders sit side by side along the front of the unit. These are accompanied by four equality stiff springs which act as size adjusters for the batteries.
A (poorly marked) voltage adjustment slide switch nestles in between the Cell holders to taylor the charge voltage being placed into the cells. This is user adjustable and some degree of care is required when setting up each type of cell to be charged.

Each cell holder has a cooresponding red LED light above it to indicate the current charging state. and a green LED sits in the middle to show that power is going to the charger. pretty simple stuff.

The HG-1412W has the ability to charge both Nickel-Metal Hydride and Lithium-Ion cells and in various sizes too.
AA and AAA Ni-Mh sizes and 18350, 18500, 18650, 26650 (?) Lithium cell sizes. A one-stop shop when it comes to charging your shit.
I must admit, I haven't come across a charger quite like this before.

Vaping 18650 lithium cells being charged

Operating the charger is really easy. Just select the voltage you want to charge the cell at, insert either 1,2,3, or 4 cells and plug it on the wall.
The red LED lights will show that the cells are connected correctly and thats it.
When each of the cells has fully charged the red LED lights will switch off.
Some cells may finish charging before others in which case the power is cut to that cell and it sits dormant until all the others have finished charging.
The charger incidentally has polarity protection built in so the cells shouldn't short out if they are inserted the wrong way up.
The HG-1412W is fully automatic and almost idiot proof!

Good Points

• Charges most rechargable Cells
• Ability to charge 1/2/3 or 4 cells independently
• Reasonable build quality
• Compact size
• Cheap! 

Bad Points

• Not UK legal
• Some safety concerns
• No instruction manual
• Thin power cable for 230V 

Illegal? Really?
Unfortunately the rather fantastic Fungold charger is not legal for sale in the UK (and probably Europe too)
Firstly because it hasn't had any official safety testing in the EU and doesn't feature a CE mark.
Secondly it doesn't have a three pin plug top on it - a requirement of UK law.
Instead it comes with a standard US two pin plug which is workable via the aid of a travel adapter.

Questionable Safety
Consumer safety is not always high in the list of features when a product is designed in China.
And although the HG-1412W does have rudimentary battery and mains protection it does have one major safety issue in my opinion.
No its not the dodgy thin power cable or the quality of the internal electronics, its the voltage setting switch.
Anyone who forgets to set the slide switch correctly could have a bad day if they get it wrong!
You see, if they happen to charge any non lithium-Ion cell like a AA or AAA and leave the slider set to anything over 1.5V then.... well you know whats going to happen!

Voltage selector slide switch

If the charger is solely being used for one type of battery then I dont see there being a problem. Its set for that voltage and left at that voltage.
It just becomes a concern when the charger is being used for multi types.
The device is safe enough for what it has to do, its all done electronically.
Its only when human interaction is needed (like a manual slide switch) that a risk is involved.

NEVER leave the charger unattended when its in use. just dont.
NEVER leave it on charge when you go to bed or pop down to the shops.
NEVER charge different types of battery in the HG-1412W at the same time.

Bring your own UK mains plug

Overall then I'm really happy with this product. It does everything a 15 quid charger does for a third of the price.
Yeah I guess it doesn't have a fancy company name plastered on it or come with a UK legal plug but I can live with that. It just has to charge my vape batteries after all.....nothing else.

Rating: ✅✅✅✅✅4 out of 5
If you are prepared to take a few risks when it comes to safety then this charger is a great value device.
Despite its obvious short comings it works really well and does exactly what it say it will.
Its cheap, Its basic, its no frills and it will charge your vaping 18650's without breaking a sweat.
Just keep your eye on it when its plugged in and you wont go wrong.

British GD MK6 Respirator

Cold War Crap

British G.D. MK6 Respirator

Manufacturer: Avon

Model: MK6 Respirator

Year of manufacture: 1956 (mask) 1953 (filter) 1944 (haversack)
Fitting: 60mm filter

Country: Great Britain (UK)

Production run: 1950's - 1960's

Vendor: private ebay seller

Price: £10.99 + £3.40 postage
Condition: Used
Size: large
Availability: Relatively easy to find

Introduction

The G.D MK6 respirator is something of a mystery. It appears that very little is known or has been published regarding the development and introduction of this apparatus except that it frequently gets confused with the older British MK2 light anti-gas respirator. Hardly surprising when you consider the amount of similar looking variants made by the UK at the time. It's easy to get them muddled up.

What is known for certain is that the MK6 is essentially identical to the wartime MK2 except that the voice emitter on the front sticks out rather than sticks inward and the air filter is a 1950's design.

The GD MK6 is based on the MK2 paratroopers gas mask first issued in 1943. It was (I think) the first british gas mask to feature a 60mm side mounted filter which did away with the whole hose pipe and canister arrangement of previous models. The benefit of this system was better freedom of movement for the soldier.

The light anti gas MK2 and later MK3 style of mask was a successful design which saw continued service for many years after the war. 

Production seems to have continued into the 1960's before being finally replaced by the Avon S6. 

Many surplus unused MK2 and MK6 masks were flogged to the Danish civil defence who were at that time looking to save money. 

The much loved and collectable Canadian C3 gas mask was based on this mask.

  

This particular MK6 was listed on an ebay auction a few months ago. The seller started the bid price low and the result was my winning it for the reasonable price of roughly 14.50 which I didnt think was too bad at the time.
After a few days the mask arrived in a nice packaged cardboard box.

The Face piece

The face piece is constructed from good quality rubber. The usual standard that comes from a british Avon manufactured mask. The eye pieces and voice emitter are well made too.  Despite the face piece being around sixty years old its in remarkably good condition. I suspect it has always been stored in its haversack rather than being on display somewhere judging by the quality. The face piece was originally designed to be both comfortable and practical for the wearer and this is certainly true if you try it on. It sits nice on the face and forms a good air tight seal. Avon have a reputation of high quality and workmanship and this post war piece lives up to that.

No it wasnt made in 1952... a red herring!

The face piece features two large round eye pieces which offer a good field of view. The voice emitter on the front is functional and communication through the mask is audible but not the best example of voice transference i have come across.

The inside of the mask is quite basic in its concept. There is no inner rubber mask for a fuller fit which is sometimes found on other masks and there are no Tissot tubes to help keep the eye pieces from fogging up.  Just the exhale valve/voice emitter is built in.  Its basic but very well made.

GD MK6 actually made in 1956

Im still trying to find out what 'G.D.' means when referenced to this mask. Im assuming it means 'General Duty' or 'General Distributed' mask perhaps? The lettering found on this mask doesn't seem to stand for anything obvious unlike the GSR 'General service respirator' or CD 'Civilian Duty' naming found on earlier british masks. 

I'm still researching this so any updates on this will be posted here.

Head harness replaced in 1965

Perhaps the single biggest mystery concerning this gas mask is its head harness.

Was the harness replaced in the 1960's as the date might suggest? Gas mask folk lore suggests that because the british had masses of these masks hanging around after the war they were recommissioned or kept in service by having the rear head harness replaced? The head harnesses were elasticated and could break or become loose so this could have happened. 

The Filter

The filter which accompanies this mask is the L. MK3 produced in 1953. The filter manufacturer is unknown at this point but it would have certainly been a UK company who made it. 

It has a 60mm thread diameter and screws on to the left side of the face piece. 

It doesn't seem as large as some of the US style 60mm filters. I'm thinking of the american M-9 gas mask filter in particular. 

A smaller  60mm could be beneficial to the infantryman who doesn't want a big round filter in his face when he is trying to sight up his rifle.

Its essentially a charcoal based NBC filter designed to be effective against a vast number of nasty toxins. Certainly everything the soviets could throw at you during the cold war years.

⚠⚠Does this filter contain Asbestos?!!⚠⚠

According to my research no white or blue Asbestos was used in this type of filter. Only Charcoal was used as the NBC filter medium. (But don't quote me on that!) 

Looking very similar to the american 60mm filters the L MK3 (Light mark 3) wasn't as bulky but still featured the same protective inner layers. The filter which features here is in very good condition with no signs of any degredation. This could be rusting of metal, loose stuff inside or dust/particles falling out of either open end. This particular specimen seems to have survived quite well.

The Haversack 

The haversack which holds the mask and filter is in fact the oldest part of the whole kit!
Yes, this musty old green bag pre-dates the mask by about 14 years.
The haversack was originally made in 1944 to hold the original light anti-gas MK2 respirator kit.
So many of these haversacks were made during the war that the surplus were kept in storage and then later re-issued with the newer, more modern masks and filters. It was essentially a simple way of keeping costs down at a time when the UK was still recovering economically from WW2. 
I don't think a haversack was ever designed exclusively for the MK6.

An old MK2 haversack. 1944 vintage

The build quality of this old MK2 haversack is really quite surprising. It's not your usual cheap shite material. 

Its made primarily from thick canvas with a huge dollop of heavy stitching thrown in. It feels hard wearing and well made.

The haversack features a good solid shoulder strap, brass webbing fittings and internal accessory pockets. 

I can see now what the government was thinking...What was the point of designing a brand new haversack for your 1950's masks when you have a warehouse full of these quality things from WW2?  Makes perfect sense.

Overall then this is an interesting mask for the collector. A well made gas mask and filter from the cold war kept in a well made bag from the second world war. I think this kind of pairing is quite unique in the gas mask world.  The GD MK6 isn't the rarest of gas masks but its certainly one for the collection.

Avon gas masks are fantastic, whichever one you choose and the GD MK6 is no exception. If you see one on ebay buy it..... 

The Vaping Lounge #2 - Fidget Spinner Atomiser Stand

Make your own Atomiser stand! 

 I just happen to have a bag full hanging about...

What?
For those looking for an easy and novel way to store your spare vaping atomisers look no further than your humble fidget spinner!

You know, those annoying spinning toys you often see kids (and adults) messing about with.
They seem to be the current playground fad which can be bought in shops, pharmacies and petrol stations everywhere up and down the country.
If you have kids the chances are that you have already a few of these things knocking around the house and if you are like me you may have a plastic bag full of them!

 Atomisers - Roticery style!

Personally I cant see what all the craze is about with fidget spinners. They serve little to no purpose in life as far as Im concerned although the general concensus is that as well as keeping the kids quiet they can help people with ADHD relax and concentrate their minds? Im yet to see any evidence of this myself so for now they are just another yo-yo type toy to me.
However..... There may be a use for these little plastic feckers after all.
Yes! Atomiser stands. Somewhere to park all the tanks and drippers that are not currently being used.

Add another when the first one gets full 

Concept
This idea is so simple, so cheap, so lazy its untrue.
Each of the three holes in your generic spinner measure roughly 22mm across and so can easily hold drippers and tanks of that diameter no problem.
I think you may even get away with a slightly larger 24mm in there if you are lucky.
The vast majority of the mainstream atomisers made in the last couple of years seem to have been around 22mm diameter and thats certainly the case in my vape stash so I shouldnt have any problems with them fitting.

And another.....

Customise
Fidget spinner atty stands are customisable to a certain degree.
As your atomiser collection grows so does the amount of stands that can be added to the mix. 1,2,3,4, as many as your shelf can cope with.
As these fidget things come in an endless number of colours and designs a truly unique look can be achieved with a little imagination (if you can arsed)

Practicality
They can be kept as a spinning thing or have the bearing ring removed and fixed, the choice is yours.
Personally I leave them as they are as they dont tend to move around much when they are locked together in a line.

Travel
So you go away for the weekend or something and you take your vaping gear with you. Where do you keep your tanks? (assuming you take a few backup spares)
Well, popping one of these in your rucksack could be the answer.
Fidget spinner stands are ideal for travel purposes and as you only need to take one or two along, it shouldn't have a impact on the weight in your bag.

Cost
Fidget spinners bought from the shops can be expensive but they can be picked up from ebay from as little as 80p each. No point getting ripped off is there?
Alternatively pinch one from a child instead (no dont!)

Yeah, you get the idea...

What next?
The Engineer in me is now working out a way of making a permanent multi-spinner vertical stand which will involve a shiny steel rod, a tube of gorilla glue and some electrical tape.  Something akin to a mug tree!



Till next time....Vape on! 

Twilight eShisha Ecig

Twilight eShisha pen 

 Quite good looking 

Manufacturer: Twilight eShisha Ltd
Model: Disposable electronic shisha
Country of origin: China
Company based: London, England
Power: single lithium rechargable cell (unknown capacity)
Coil: Silica style wicking coil
Price: 99p each
Source: Ebay seller

Im going to make this review as brief as I possibly can. This product doesnt really deserve my time in all honesty as its absolutely shite.
Where do I start with this one?
Well, apparently the Twilight eShisha pen is supposed to be a good quality cig-a-like containing no nicotine, no tar, no carcinogens and no odour. Well I can add that it also contains little to no flavour. No the stated flavour on the box that is.
Both of the flavours I tried were way off the mark in terms of what they should have tasted like.

 They dont contain anything...including flavour!

These fancy looking shisha pens are what I imagine were sold in arty farty hippy craft shops. You certainly wouldnt find these in the local corner shop or petrol station thats for sure. They look quite premium I guess?

I tried two different flavours of Twilight shisha pen.
The red coloured 'Strawberry Shajah' and the blue coloured 'Blueberry Breeze'
Both of the shisha pens tasted nothing like their stated flavours instead tasting like the rubber bung which sits in the mouth tip mixed with the taste of silica wicking material......with a slight hint of chemical fruit flavouring. Not very nice at all it has to be said.

Twilight eShite

These pens work by pressing a tiny micro switch located in the middle of the pen. A coloured LED light glows at the end of the ecig and a small amount of vapour is generated when you take an inhale.
Really simple (and old) technology.
Allegedly they are meant to last a full 600 puffs each but im afraid this is a load of crap.
In truth they lasted for about 50-70 puffs before dying a slow death and fading away. It was all over too soon.....

Feeling a little angry/disappointed by this I thought I might take one apart and see exactly what was going on inside.

Unsurprisingly I found a cheap PCB with a microswitch fire button and a small resistor onboard. This was connected at one end to the coil/wick arrangement whilst the other side of the PCB was connected to what looks like a small rechargable lithium cell.  Simple and cheap (of course, what did I expect?)

 

The pic above shows the frankenstein silica wick and coil arrangement.
It uses a very basic single piece of resistance wire passed around a few strands of silica wick. The flavouring impregnated cotton swab is then wrapped around thhe whole thing and then its stuffed down the aluminium tubing - looking something akin to a school project.

This little battery could be recharged.....

I said I would make this brief and I think I have kept to my word.
One last thing though.... The battery... what a waste! A fully rechargable cell made to be disposable and chucked in the bin when it runs out. Not only is that environmentally unfriendly, its just silly.
The company could have added a micro USB port and made the cartomiser section refillable, at least then I could have added my own eliquid and reused the pen as a shealth vape device.
After all,  they dont actually look that bad from the outside!

Rating: ✅😖 1 out of 5
This has to be the worst cig-a-like I have ever had the misfortune to take a toke on.  It tastes of rubber and wick, the battery lasts about ten minutes and at 99p each they are seriously over priced IMO. The company behind these was dissolved back in 2014 and if this is an example of the quality of their products then Im not surprised they did! absolute crap!

iCloudcig Teapot RDA

iCloudcig Teapot RDA

Bizarre looking dripper don't you think?

Manufacturer: iCloudcig
Model: Teapot RDA
Country of origin: China
Design: 3 post deck - Tugboat style  can be single or dual coiled
Size: 24mm
First released: 2015
Price: originally £15  I paid £5
Condition: Used
Materials: Pyrex glass cap, stainless deck, copper 510
Source: some dude off ebay

Simple two piece affair

Ha ha! Where do you start with the teapot RDA? It's a dripper I had seen a few times on the internet and thought that it looked a little different, a little fancy,  a little bit unique to shove on a mod.
These teapots first saw the light of day back in 2015 made by that well known Chinese brand iCloudcig (right!). As these things were a few years old it proved difficukt to source a brand new original. The clone model was available but it was subtly different and it's always better to get the authentic ones I thought.
Enter good old eBay and some guy in England flogging one cheap.
Suffice to say I didn't hang when it came to bidding on it.

Authentic and numbered

The iCloudcig teapot RDA is basically a tugboat V2 style three poster with a rather unusual glass teapot sat on top. The teapot itself is made from Pyrex glass with a width of around 2mm (in places) with a single air hole on the top and a 4cm spout on one side. The spout is the drip tip of course.
The teapot has triple O-rings to keep the juice in and twin 3mm juice wells to drip juice into. So far so good.
The air flow on the teapot is not adjustable as it's basically a 3mm hole bored into the glass,  maybe not so good?

Easy build three post coil deck

Building out the deck was actually really easy, especially if you are used to working on a 3 deck system.  only the center pin has to be shared when a dual coil build is required. It can be single coiled though making this deck simple even for a beginner.

Two home made twisted FeCrAl coils @ 0.4ohms

The teapot offers a unique cloud and flavour experience compared to the results you might expect from a conventional dripper.
To be honest I'm not too sure why this is? Perhaps it's because the air flow is on the top for a change and the rounded tank swirls the vaper around a bit more? Who knows? It works like a dream though, I'm not complaining.

The glass is quite thick on the bottom

Cloudy with a chance of raised eyebrows
There's no way of getting around the fact that this thing looks like an illicit crack pipe!
I haven't dared to take it out in public yet for fear of ridicule or arrest, I certainly don't fancy the idea of explaining to the local police what this is and what it isn't.
Therefore I would suggest that the teapot never leave the house and is kept as a novelty for vape friends when they pop around.

The single air flow hole up top

Cloudy with a chance of blindness
I must draw attention to perhaps the worst aspect of this dripper mainly because it could lead to a visit to the hospital!
Imagine you have just coiled and wicked the deck, filled the wells with juice and set the wattage to the desired setting then all of a sudden, POP! and a magma hot giezer of eliquid shoots out the top and directing into your nearest eyeball. It's painful and totally unnecessary. This painful juice popping isn't a one off either, expect it to happen time and again like a sick and twisted game of Russian roulette, you just don't know when!!!
Ironically the lesser priced clone teapot has a longer spout  allowing more of a  chance to avoid a painful eye scalding.

Good points

• Unique design
• Good flavour
• Good cloudage
• Easy to build deck
• Deep juice wells
• Cheap

Bad points

• Risk of injury
• Risk of unwanted attention
• Fragile 
• Limited, non adjustable air flow

Overall this atomiser is good at what it sets out to do. It provides a satisfying vape and is simple to set up and use. If you don't mind your innocuous vaping habit looking like an illegal one then this is the dripper to get your hands on.
Personally I really like it and more than happy to keep it as a party piece. It won't be to everyone's taste though!

Looking strange atop the Zenith mod

Rating: ✅✅✅✅ 4 out of 5
For those looking for something a little different to show off to their mates then the teapot may be a good choice.
It produces good cloudage and reasonable flavour although eye protection is advised  for the enevitable coil pop!

Zenith with lightning dial

Potentiometer based regulated box mods have made a bit of a come back recently it would appear.
The Hexohm and Tesla Invader III are perhaps the best known VV mods to hit the market in recent times.
It wasnt that long ago when all you could buy were variable voltage devices and then variable wattage devices came in.
Now it seems that VV devices are back in vogue and more specifically ones with potentiometers on them.
The relative success of Tesla invader III mod in the last year or so has given other manufacturers the impetous to release their own including the likes of IJoy.
Here is the IJoy Maxo Zenith. A simple variable voltage device that is capable of some serious high power.
No OLED display, no temperature control, no wattage control, just straight voltage selection via a mechanical potentiometer. Its big, its heavy and it packs a punch!

Huge top firing power button - with battery indicator LED

The maxo zenith has the physical appearance of a Wismec RX200 with the hard hitting direct voltage to pin power of an Invader III. Its a sort of cross between the two really.
What you get with the Zenith is a comfortable to hold regulated device thats capable of driving even the wackiest of chunky coils. No need for a fancy screen or chip to sap the power. its just straight voltage to the 510. (with a wee touch of regulation)
Its not a mod for the beginner thats for sure. It requires a bit of respect.
So just how well is it made?

Battery orientation scribed on the bottom

Well build-wise, the zenith is as good as you are going to get at this price point. The main material used here is Zinc alloy if Im not mistaken. Its strong, weighty and feels  like you paid a lot more for it. There doesnt seem to be much in the way of cheap plastic anywhere on the mod except for the lightning dial, fire button and the main battery tray.
The overall design of the mod is kinda snazzy. along each side are strips of silver mesh which act as the PCB vents which actually look quite good. The word 'Zenith' is written along the front and the word 'IJoy' is cut into the battery cover to act as battery venting. Overall I really like the design.

A decent battery tray and compartment cover

The battery tray has plenty of space to accommodate the three 18650's which are held firmly in place by large gold plated contacts. The negative contacts are springy enough to be able to insert and remove the batteries with relative easy. There isnt a pull ribbon inside the compartment to aid removal but I dont think one is needed with this mod. Positive and negative polarity symbols are etched into the tray to help with orientating the cells - although if you get them the wrong way round the mod will flash the red LED a few times to let you know.
The battery compartment cover is made from a solid piece of metal and weighs a fair bit. Im not sure if its made from Zinc alloy or not? certainly feels  like it.
The cover fits nice and snug against the mod with little to no movement once its on. Its held firmly in place by four strong magnets. There isnt much chance that the cover will accidentally fall off or anything.

Batteries fit nice and snug in the mod

The Zenith is something of a pseudo-mech mod in the way that it has direct power straight from the batteries but still has some form of regulated protection built in.
As well as having low resistance, high resistance, PCB overheating and reverse polarity protection the zenith also buzzes and vibrates if it detects a short circuit! how cool is that? I certainly havent seen a vibrating/buzzing mod before.
The zenith also flashes a red LED if it detects a problem.

Strange green LED lights on either side

What were IJoy thinking when they came up with the green LED lights on the side thing? They cant be switched off!
So if you are like me and dont go in for all the flashing lights thing you are essentially screwed. This aspect of the mod has to be a negative point in my opinion. Although to be fair its a minor issue and perhaps Im nit picking a bit.
IJoy should have included an on/off light switch though - they missed a trick there.

Now theres nothing at all wrong with the LED power indicator on the top of the device. That LED light is actually useful.
It gives the user a decent indication as to the charge state of the batteries, changing from green to red as the batteries run down. It also acts as a warning indicator should anything go wrong. It works quite well.

With the Steamcrave aromamizer 

Its a good idea to know what your tank wattage limit is before firing the zenith. And as the mod doesnt have any kind of readout it might be a good idea to brush up on your ohms law and work out the right wattage yourself. This mod is clearly not for a beginner or someone who doesnt know how mods work.
That said, its a really easy mod to use once you know what you are doing.

Good Points

• Very powerful
• easy to use
• long lasting battery life
• good level of protection - including the buzzer/vibration feature
• cheap to buy
• Coloured LED battery indication

Bad Points

• The green LED side strips? (some people will like it though)
• Cant think of any bad points to be honest

Rating: 4 out of 5
As a first venture into the VV potentiometer scene im actually very impressed by the Zenith.
It has more than enough power for what most vapers would require and the battery life is simply stunning. The silly green LED strip lights down the side are a distraction and wont be to everyones taste and thats why this device doesnt get a full 5 marks. On the whole though the zenith is a very powerful mod at a very reasonable price.
