I like the idea of 2x 18350 for the reason that i can use a mini version when im going out and not look a droid vaper, my main concer is with only 1 battery (i will still have the same voltage) being an RC and electronic hobbist i know that 2 batteries in parallel will double the mah and in serie will double the volt and this configuration of 2x 18350 looks like a serial conection, also i saw a review in youtube that with 1 18650 i will get a battery ratle shaking and not with the 2x 18350,

I can get a combo with 2 18650 or 2 18350 what you recomend to me, i already have 2 twist vv so no issue if i ran out of batteries

I'm not looking to make it hit like a kanger, but somewhere in between would be perfect.

Thoughts?

Last nite I ate some TGI Friday's Nacho Topper's with some corn chips. The Jalapeno's were VERY HOT. Continued my evening drinking beer and sipping gin which always makes my juice taste 50% better. This morning when I started vaping (8 flavors rotating) I was shocked at the realism of the 8 juices. Its now been 26 hours and my taste buds are still tasting 150%. I don't know if this is what changed the taste buds or not. I've been vaping for 4 months and this is the best taste yet. Wonder how long this will last? If I have to burn out the tongue every week I will do it for this kind of flavor.

Their length makes it even more uncomfortable when vaping because you notice the wobbling a bit more.

Not fun.:blush:
Solution was to take one of the rubber thingamajigs you get with the coils and cut a hole in it... i had to trim a little bit off the bottom too so it fit right but here she is! works great and pretty soft..lemme know what ya think!

I've been running Joye Ego-C's and recently went on a spending spree and got a couple Kanger Pro's, a Vamo and a bunch of other goodies. Here are some of the things I have discovered and already knew, but haven't seen it all on one place. Most of this I have experienced first hand, but some information I have found (mostly on ECF) possibly avoided some heartache. This is my attempt at getting as much info one in place to hopefully give some info back to the community. This is my opinion and due to my newness, it may or may not be 100% correct, so keep that in mind! Feel free to correct me if needed!

I don't remember which posts I gathered these bits. I'm usually one to give give credit, but I have no idea where I found the original information. Sorry...

I'm running the Vamo loaded with a single Panasonic 18650. One of the things that has annoyed me with the Ego-C's was occasional leakage. Until recently, I did not understand why it would occur, but here is what I have discovered.

First off, I live in Florida and it's hot. If I leave it in the car, even to just run in to a store, it will likely leak all over the place. I believe this is because the heat expands the air in the tank and pushes the fluid out through the wick holes and into the tube. From there, it goes everywhere.

Another reason I've found these things leak, is if I draw too hard. It's the opposite of heat. When I suck too hard, I am creating a negative pressure in the tube and it's sucking the juice from the tank through the wick holes. Doing it a few times can make a nice mess.

Of course, there are other reasons. Seals, burned or too small wicks, etc., but those are another story...

I found the Kanger Pro to be airy, as other's have said, with very little resistance in the draw. I had read about getting a Tank Airflow Controller and I did. It worked fairly well, tightened the draw a bit, but draw too hard and you get the gurgles. It also had a tendency to squash the center terminal on the Vamo, so I ended up taking that out. I have read that some people use the EVOD atty heads which supposedly tightens the draw a little bit with less side effects, but I haven't tried that yet.

Segway into the Vamo and the weak threads and finicky contact terminal that have been reported. I took a proactive stance on this. I wanted to not have to worry about stripping out my threads or compressing the contact/seal, so I got a 510 to 510 extension in lieu of using the Tank Airflow Controller. That's what I'm using now. The only downside is, I have to be really easy screwing on the Kanger Pro because you can't really grip the extension when you take off the Kanger and it can come out of the Vamo first, so it negates the idea of not wearing down the threads. I find this acceptable and compensate for it. I have noticed in just a week, that the threads on the Vamo are really loose from all the experimenting. I bought a bunch of different juices and have been swapping the 2 Kanger Pro's and 3 Ego-C's. I'm not sure if that's because it worked the burrs out or it's slowly wearing away. It is not exactly a hard metal.

Keep in mind, I do NOT overtighten or even snug the fittings. I get them just past the point of the Vamo reading the resistance of the coil and leave it there. It's still a little loose and can be tightened a bit more to snug. I just don't do it. I also had ordered dozens of different sample juices and have been swapping tanks like a mad man, so the usage is very high at this point.

Over tightening can also cause leaks, at least with the Ego-C when the center of the atty head binds and twists when it contacts the center terminal of the battery. I have not seen this with the Kanger Pro and Vamo, but it may be worth noting.

I've also learned that the adapter will make contact with the terminal on the Vamo even when the Kanger will not, when the Vamo terminal/seal gets compressed. I tried for a couple days not using an adapter at all and had to push back the insulator on the Vamo center terminal a few times. If I put the adapter on first, it would work. That leads me to believe the center terminal on the extension is slightly smaller than the terminal on the Kanger and I don't have to push the insulator back on the Vamo at all, when using the adapter because it's smaller than the insulator ring on the Vamo contact.

One of the complaints I have read about the Vamo, was the battery spring. I have the gold V2 spring installed and pre-stretched it a little bit when I got it, so I haven't had any issues directly related to that.

So, basically, I'm using the Kanger Pro and a 510 to 510 extension on the Vamo and am pretty happy with the results. The issues above were all that I've had to experience, so far, so I figured they would be common occurrences. Hope it helps!

Here are links to where I got some of the more esoteric parts and you can try them if so inclined. They may or may not be the cheapest, but they came in 5 days over a weekend, so I can attest, that in my case, the sources are reliable.

Tank Airflow Controller - Not recommended, just for reference. It may work for you.
V2 510 Shorty Extension (unsealed) - I bought these because they were out of the sealed ones at the time. Not sure what it would do to the draw, if anything, were you were to get the sealed ones.
Vamo Replacement Spring - I did not order this, as I didn't need it, but just in case you do. You can also get them with the cap in SS, Chrome and Gun Metal. I've read SmokTek is reliable, so I included the link. ]]> Tips and Tricks Argusi http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/413506-kanger-pro-vamo-adventures.html Post your Vapor Tricks Here ! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/413308-post-your-vapor-tricks-here.html Sat, 04 May 2013 06:09:31 GMT I wannna see someee cooo schtuffff :D Im pretty beast at tricks if i can say so my self /.\ Anyways yea!

My bro has been using his spheroid now for a month and is loving it but popped in today to ask if there was any way to tighten up the draw a bit as he found it slightly airy.


So I retreated to the throne of contemplation for a short while and had a mini epiphany.


I'm aware that many people attempt to tighten the draw by blocking one of the 510 atty connector holes with a toothpick or something similar but this is what I came up with.


Here's how to do it..


Remove the collector tank base assembly:





Now the next part requires one of the plugs that comes with a Carto - if you use them yourself now is the time when you will rue the day you threw them out - if you don't use carto's you probably know someone who does so grab some off of them ;)





Remove the following part from the spheroid base - this is where the air is drawn up from the 510 connector on to the outlet below the coil - it has 3 holes...



Feed the carto plug into one of the holes and pull through until it looks like this...





Take a sharp craft knife and using the metal as a guide slice off the excess silicone like so:





you will be left with an extremely efficiently plugged hole -



at this point you can re assemble and try it out or go on to fill another hole - NATURALLY you cannot plug them all! :)


Give it a try and see if you like it - the bro reported that it was vastly improved..
