Hi all!

Hi! I am from Estonia, looking to gain knowledge to take my vaping experience and knowledge to perfection.

Above all I seek in vape is flavour and stuff that will last, like a good box mod with great battery life/capacity, an rta tank that will give out max flavour and consume minimal e-juice and coil and wick that will last longest.

I like to diy alot, for me the best about rta is the endless possibilities to experiment. Atm I am working hard on oxva arbiter solo to find the perfect setup for tcr ss316l coil.

Best wishes to you all!

A Painful Success

Im Badinfluence357,
Eleven years ago my wife came home with a blue cig-alike that she got from a coworker. She gave it to me to try because I was smoking two packs aday and blues we're the new hype and they even had commercials on tv supporting vaping at the time.

I immediately took a liking to the new technology and did alot of research. Shortly after I purchased two started kits with cartomizers and ego pens. One kit for me and one for her. The learning curve was a little rough with all the leaking in the pockets as supposed to smoking but I was determined to get it right. My wife decided that she couldn't vape because it was to difficult to maintain. I offerd to do everything for her, cleaning, refilling and purchasing everything necessary for us to continue vaping.

She was adamant that it was easier to smoke and that she didnt like the vaping. Over the course of the eleven years I have been vaping I've tried over and over to get her to stop smoking and vape with me but to no avail.

Here's the kicker, I feel like she saved me from smoking but couldn't save herself from the addiction. November 30th 2022 my wife went to the hospital to get a cat-scan for a small hernia in her stomach and an annual breast check up. The xray tech must have been heaven sent because he noticed something else and ask her to get back on the machine. It was bad news, she has renal carcinoma from smoking with high blood pressure. The cancerous tumor has consumed her entire right kindy with very little good tissue left. She is so so lucky that the cancer hasnt spread into her lymphs and veins. November 30th 2022 was the last day she had a cigarette.

Shes going into surgery mid January and it sucks that this had to happen for her to quit smoking. Do yourself a favor if you still smoke and cant quit, vape and dont quit learning about vaping. Its probably bad too but it will never be as bad as smoking. I rather have a little lung inflammation then cancer or an organ removed.

Sincerely,
Badinfluence357.

Help me to Choose a Mod Please

Hello friends. I've been searching for dual battery mod since morning. I wrote the names of the mods they sell from the vendors one by one, then I examined the pages of the products, went and watched videos on them, noted them one by one, but I'm about to break my head. There are very nice multi-featured mods.

I wanted it to be a kit, but everyone said to don't buy a kit instead buy mod + ato. My other criterias are; Does it stop firing after 8-10 seconds, is there a short circuit protection, is there an overcharge protection, is there an overheating protection? Another important issue; shock protection! I'm a bit of a clumsy person, I don't mess with water, but this feature is very important for me because I can drop it, it doesn't need to have a certificate, but I want it to be a solid device, I will provide maximum attention, but I want it tosurvive minor accidents, so :)

Geekvape Aegis X: It stops ignition after 8-10 seconds, it has short circuit protection, it has overcharge protection, it has overheat protection, it has shock protection. It seems to be okay, except it came out 3 years ago. The menu system is a little tricky. Sizes aren't bad. I don't know if full screen is needed. An old mod and recently people mention the screen errors.

Smok Morph-2: It stops firing after 8-10 seconds, has short circuit protection, no overcharge protection, overheat protection, I couldn't find any information about shock protection. An up-to-date device. There is TC. In addition, there is a "smart mode" style mode. Smok is not suggested in general due to sudden errors.

Aegis Touch 200: stops firing after 8-10 seconds; I couldn't find any information about short circuit protection, overcharge protection, overheat protection. It has water and shock protection. It's a beautiful, customizable device. Every mode is available, just a little big. I don't know its durability. There is someone on the forum selling their kit. It's touch kit and vulnerable and pricy :)

Aegis Legend 2: stops firing after 8-10 seconds; I couldn't find any information about short circuit protection, overcharge protection, overheat protection. It has water and shock protection. Nice device too :) Its mostly mentioned that it's not solid & durable as the company said.

Vaporesso Target 200: It stops firing after 8-10 seconds; I couldn't find any information about short circuit protection, overcharge protection, overheat protection. I couldn't find whether it has water and shock protection. Compact device but no temperature control! I couldn't find any information about the protections. I don't know why but Thelema felt better to me over Target 200.

Vapresso Gen 200: stops firing after 8-10 seconds; I couldn't find any information about short circuit protection, overcharge protection, overheat protection. I couldn't find whether it has water and shock protection. Compact device but no temperature control! I couldn't find any information about the protections. Light bur not solid!

Smok G PRIV 4: Sold as a kit plus for me. It stops ignition after 8-10 seconds, it has short circuit protection, it has overcharge protection, it has overheat protection, it has shock protection. The only problem is that it has a touch screen, it has all the modes. Smok is not suggested in general due to sudden errors.

Thelema Quest 200: It stops firing after 8-10 seconds, it has short circuit protection, it has overcharge protection, it has overheat protection, I couldn't find any information about shock protection. Very nice tool, easy to use and has all modes. Only shock and no water protection. Shock is important anyway! I got a Thelema Quest 200!


Friends, experienced users! I wrote all the mods I looked at. Now I want your help. Please write your comments, why you recommend that device, please! Because of my location those are the only mods I can buy, please take it into consideration :)

zenith 2 tank burns 0.3 coils instantly

im new to vaping, first post here actually.
so i got a kroma z and had it for like a month and worked great, then my cat droped it and it stopped charching, so i replaced it a coolfire z80.
i used 0.8 coils and the worked great and then tried the 0.3 on a second zenith 2 tank i got and i cant figure out what im doing wrong.
the tank burns the coils instamtly above 33 watts, long puffs also burn them.
i prime them in and out, let them soak and tried many juices .. 70/30, 50/50 and 70/30.
the same coils that taste burned on the zenith tank work fine on the kroma z tank.
so any suggestions?

edit: btw happy new year guys

I HATE ELFBARS!!!!

Hate, hate, hate these things!
I've been a diehard dual 18650 mod vaper for over ten years and have spent a fortune on mods and new coil heads.
While visiting my local vape shop to pick up a new batch of those super expensive heads I noticed there were hardly any new mods in their showcase, where once they were jam packed with every new model to hit the market.
I asked the clerk why and he replied they couldn't hardly sell them now and almost everyone was buying the disposables.
He had an elfbar in his hand and said that this was their bestselling brand.
Finally he talked me into purchasing three different varieties of the strawberry elfbars.
Now - the part that has led me to despise these things:
I own more than a dozen or so of these today and they're usually all lined up on the coffee table.
One bump of the table and these little rascals turn into a table full of dominoes :)
I cringe every time I hit one and watch the entire line fall one by one - lol

From the very first hit on the first ones I bought I knew I'd finally found the flavors and throat hit I'd been chasing endlessly for years.
THESE REALLY ARE THE BEST VAPE I'VE EVER HAD BY FAR EVER EVER EVER !!!!!!!!
I now just have learned to let them lay sideways and reach down and pick up whatever delicious flavor I decide to hit on:)

So tongue in cheek, that is the ONLY thing I hate about these priceless little jewels, that have the BEST flavors I've ever found :) :) :)

Another note:
DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR EMPTIES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are easily refillable with a comparable nic salt juice.
I've bought numerous new juices and tried my best to replicate the elfbar flavors.
Some have come close, others not so much.

Once the elfbar starts to filling a little "light" to me or at the FIRST sign of diminished or burnt flavor - STOP!
The head is easily removed by wiggling it back and forth until you finally get it to pop off.
Be careful not to lose the little rubber cap that sits on top of the clear plastic container that holds your juice pad.
I use a pair of tweezers to slide the entire juice pad out, you'll usually see exactly how much juice is left.
If there is not a dark brown coloration around the wick area I'll go ahead and take the juice/s I've purchased and saturate the pad and it's ready to go again.
If there is any very dark discoloration on the pad around the wick or I've gotten a hit with a burnt taste, don't worry....That is fixable as well.
After years and years of making my own coils and wicks I went back to some of my old tricks :)

First, remove that pad and give it a very thorough rinse and squeeze, rinse and squeeze until ALL old juice is gone.
After that I'll set it in a sunlit window sill or a furnace vent on my floor to dry.
Next, the bottom will come off as well. It just takes a semi sharp kitchen knife or something along that line to get it started working apart.
Once it comes off, the entire plastic juice pad and battery will easily slide out of the metal case.
Check the bottom of the clear plastic juice pad, you'll see another rubber pad with a small green circuit board and two wires coming off of it.
Take your tweezers and carefully pull off the rubber end cap, this will expose the wick.
Side note - I've noticed they've changed wick style many times in the last few months. Most all are recoverable.
The best way I've found is to pour a capful of pure grain alcohol and submerge just the wick in it. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET THE CIRCUIT BOARD WET!
After an overnight soak chances are pretty good you're going to find a new snow white wick in the morning and some possible residue/buildup that the alcohol has eaten away from the metal in the wick.
Pull the wick out and give it a good soak under a slow stream of faucet water. AGAIN, TAKE EXTRA CARE NOT TO GET ANY ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
Once it's rinsed out good I take a paper towel or napkin and gently squeeze the moisture out of the wick.
Now take your juice and give both sides of the cleaned wick a good soaking.
Another thing I've noticed is that some of the juice pads have a insulative tube in the center air flow hole, some don't.
If yours does make certain you don't lose it when you first pull the pad out.
You may need to slide a tooth pick or something similar inside the pad to see if one is still up inside.
If there is one now is the time to slide it down on the cleaned wick.
Slowly slide it down to where it's starting to touch the wick material and give the tube a slight twist to make sure the wick is wound perfectly around it's stand.
I've used a toothpick to assist in getting this just right. If you don't you'll notice a diminished air flow once everything is back together and you'll have to take everything apart again to get it fixed so take extra care here.
Then I'll take my juice and completely saturate the tube,
Now you can slip the bottom rubber cap back up into the clear juice case. Make sure to push the rubber cap on completely.
At this point you'll want to slip everything back up into the metal case and make sure it's seated properly.
Next I'll take the clean and dried snow white juice pad and hold it with my tweezers and squirt juice all over the pad until it's fully saturated.
Once it's loaded with new juice carefully slide it down inside the plastic container and you may feel a slight resistance when it meets that insulative tube.
Push it on down until it's completely inside the plastic case.
Take the rubber top cap and make sure you line up the little nipple down into the airflow hole.
Seat it firmly and then take your top mouthpiece and make sure the mouthpiece is lined up over the airflow hole and seat it back down firmly.

BRAND NEW ELFBAR THAT SHOULD BE JUST LIKE NEW!!!!!

I've have several here that I've used this method on for months. IT WORKS !!!

For you lucky UK users, I've noticed that ELFBAR is now selling just their juice(ELFLIQ) in limited flavors, but only there in the UK.
I've contacted them directly and asked when their juice would be available in the US and they did reply that they're going through the red tape to get it here.

Until then, if any users have found a juice that matches the quality of the elfbar please do let me know.
The strawberry ice cream flavor in the elfbar TE5000 is one that I'm desperately trying to replicate.
If anyone can help out here, I'll gladly trade my firstborn child for a case of it :) :) :)

Take care and enjoy!!!

Aegis X issues

So my parents sent me a used Aegis X to have for christmas cause my old mod got screwed up. They told me I had to update some firmware or something but when it arrived the screen work perfectly fine with no problems. Then it started cutting out and not working at all unless I plugged it into something and now its firing but the screen is not displaying anything just brightening up slightly, sometimes it would show black and white lines with static but thats it. I've tried taking it off stealth mode by holding down all 3 buttons and I've tried looking online for firmware but there is nothing that is even allowing me to download the firmware software to my computer. Any simple fixes?

Capella Flavours – Banana

Capella Flavours - Banana
Setup: Mesh RTA, 45W
I am presenting a product from the American company Capella Flavours.
The company's repertoire includes nearly 180 different flavours. Among them, the banana I tested is available at a very reasonable price, like the others. Since I joined the vapour world, this simple yet great banana flavour has been a recurring taste for me. I used a 10% blend with a 70VG/30PG base. It doesn't take long to set, 3-4 days of once daily aeration will get you the finished product. It has a strong and clean banana smell that is hard to resist. It's slightly sweet, a little creamy, but what beats a lot of other brands is the intense banana flavour. It's just the fruit, nothing else. It can be mixed with a cooling agent or other fruity flavours to make delicious blends. I've read quite a few reviews on other sites with some negative ones, but for me this banana is not a chemical taste as some people have said. The flavour is colourless, there are no dyes in it, and after a week of continuous use, the roll on didn't show any dirtiness. Worth a try, for the price and great banana flavour it could be a very good buy for everyone.

Voopoo Doric 20SE - review by Dreamvaper

Hello fellow ECF members. :nun:
I'd like to discuss the VOOPOO Doric 20SE Kit that was sent to me by VOOPOO for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. :thumb:

Voopoo already created a few devices from the V series and the Doric 20 SE is their latest model of this family of devices.
I've tested quite a few Voopoo devices in the past and I can confirm that they are almost always a great example of innovative features/design and a reasonable price. You can check some of my previous reviews on their devices Here and Here

Let's see what this device has to offer.

Colour options available:

c1.JPG


I've got the Golden/Orange one and it looks nice and pretty.

Key Features:

- Long-lasting Cartridge

The new VOOPOO ITO Cartridge, with its durable preinstalled VOOPOO ITO atomizer coil, brings users a professional mouth-to-lung vaping experience with an ultra-smooth taste. Compared to traditional cigarettes and disposable vapes, one DORIC 20 SE cartridge lasts up to 10 days of vaping, with a fairly economical consumption.

- Long-lasting Battery
With a built-in 1200mAh battery, the delicate and small DORIC 20 SE is long-lasting in service, giving users more vaping time and less fuss on charging. It is tested to support 3 days of vaping with the normal vaping frequency. - for me personally, it lasted even more than 5 days on one charge.

- Voopoo engineers especially thought about the aesthetics of the device and the classical ratio of column height to column diameter of 6:1 was kept.

- I'd add another important key selling point of this device - it is very newbie friendly.
No extra buttons/screens/setups + easy to refill. Drag and vape and enjoy your vaping.

What's inside the box: (The package is very light and compact as well as the device itself:)

IMG_20221229_154050.jpg


- Device itself
- 1 Cartridge (2ml) with a 1 ohm coil preinstalled
- User manual
- Type-C cable

Pretty standard pack, although I also would like to see the 2nd coil in a pack. But this starter kit will definitely show you the capabilities of this :angel:

Doric 20SE Kit Specs:
Color:5 colors (Black, Red, Gun Metal, Orange, and Green)
Size:φ19*118mm(Cartridge Included)
Battery: 1200mAh built-in battery
Output Power: 8W-18W
Battery Charging: Type C 5V/1.5A (fully charged with 1 hour)
E-liquid Filling: Side-filling (visible capacity)
Kit Cartridge: VOOPOO ITO Cartridge 1.0Ω/2ml;
Compatible Cartridge:VOOPOO ITO Cartridge 0.7Ω/1.0Ω/1.2Ω, VOOPOO ITO Pod, VOOPOO ITO-X Pod

Other Features:

f2.JPG


I'd also add that the device is pretty stable in a standing position and it has a decent magnet lock for the cartridge, you won't lose it.

Comparison:

IMG_20221229_154124.jpg


As you can see, the device is a bit taller than the Vinci SE and a bit slimer too. Very compact and lightweight.
I was very surprised to find out that there is a 1200mAh battery inside of it.


IMG_20221229_154226.jpg


The Cart is easy to refill and it holds well with a magnet lock. I'd also point out the Great vapour production of it, the coil is really a little monster. :evil:
The tip is a bit longer than standard but it's pretty comfortable and allows you to have a very nice MTL experience using it.

IMG_20221229_154418.jpg


I had a pleasure testing this little device.

PROS:
Affordable price (under £20 + shiping in the UK)
Quality build and nice compact design
Very light due to alluminum alloy used
No leakage during testing
Very easy to operate = newbie friendly
Great clouds - one of the best result for compact pods
1200mAh built-in battery with quick Type-c charging (fully charged within 1 hour)
Compatible Cart + nice magnetic lock system

CONS:
1 coil included only. Considering its price and compact format, I don't see other real cons.

Final Thoughts:
Once again I can confirm that VooPoo created an affordable, nice looking, compact and light pod device which is a great buy for beginner vapers and/or for older people who are just trying to quit/switch and they are not ready to play with custom coils, cotton and voltage levels.
It doesn't look cheap like many other plastic pods and it delivers some good and tasty clouds. The battery is Outstanding considering the compact size and the price is ultra affordable. What else can we expect from the modern vape for beginners? I believe it's a great deal and I recommend this device.

Overall rank 9/10 by Dreamvaper.:toast:

Extra:
It's almost a New 2023 Year now and I'd like to thank VooPoo and all my ECF Friends for being around and 2 wish you all some
more Piece and Health (both physical and mental) in the coming Year. Good Luck and we'll meet in 2023! :party:

Hi from abroad

Hi I am a Turkish dude, who started to vape nearly a month ago with a SMOK IPX 80 to just help me to quit smoking, and it is quiet useful but not completely :) Since I am started to grow interest I am lurking around a local e-cigarette forum. Since this forum has much more info, here I am :)

Voopoo Doric 20 SE - Review by Javichu

Hello there fellow vaperinos!

First of all apologies to Voopoo since this will be a written review and not a video review.
Still with some Bronchitis so it's not actually pleasing to see me with a hoarse voice,bloodshot eyes,messed up hair,eye bags and coughing up phlegm in the video he he.
Promise i will get it done soon thou,just gotta get my health back...i am getting older so it will take a while.

Got this as part of a gift for Christmas which was a really nice gesture from Voopoo:

voopoo chrismas.jpg


Time to review a small MTL device from Voopoo which was sent to my for review purposes,as my usual MO let us get started with some nice informative pics which will give you an overview of the type of device i am reviewing.

COLORS:

CONTENTS:

CONTENTS.JPG


FEATURES:

FEATURES.JPG


OVERVIEW:

OVERVIEW.JPG


SPECS:


SPECS.JPG


SAFETY:

SAFETY.JPG



UNBOXING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

Proper packaging where all the contents are neatly tucked into their own place,nothing is missing and everything seems clean and without smudges,dirt or any other foreign substance.

Hmm...just the one VOOPOO ITO Cartridge,not ideal.
As i said multiple times this does not make it a new user friendly kit,what happens if the coil is a dud? or maybe you're a bit inexperienced and didn't buy more replacements?
Yeah i think many of us can agree and say that we wouldn't mind paying a tad more and getting a second Cartridge/Coil,but hey it is what it is.

Lightweight device,even thou i have large hands i do not have trouble in getting a good grip.
Not a flimsy device either,Aluminum Alloy+PCTG materials give it a nice and solid feel to it,kudos for that.

As usual i will use my daily e-liquid which is Shiva from A&L (i add some vanilla),70VG/30PG and at 6mg nic.


VAPING TIME:

Ok so time to get this show on the road.
Sitting on my desk with the device in front of me i proceed to fill in the cartridge and let it soak the sweet nectar of the gods.
At least i let it sit there 15 minutes,so we got a battery filled device and a coil well soaked up of e-liquid so its time to give it a whirl.

Feels a bit odd,not performance wise but the mouthpiece looks and feels like the dimensions of a cigarette,probably use to wide bore 810's drips tips so that is why it feels weird.
Plus you all know me,i got big juicy and kissable lips so ok for the sake of the review i will adopt the duck mouth selfie pose...thank god i am home and not in public:

duck.JPG


Ok so on a more serious note,awesome flavor even if i am not that into MTL draws.
Decent cloud for an MTL and the hit is nice and powerful,this will get you there,most definitely the sweet spot will be achieved.

Filled the tank about 8 times and no a hint of leakage where the cartridge is introduced in the device,mouthpiece thou did get some slight condensation but that is probably because of the heavy use from my part...not a big deal thou,paper towel,twist and introduce and dry and ready for more.

Even for a heavy user the 1200mAh will cover your needs,charging time i gotta be honest i fumbled that and forgot to time it exactly from fully depleted to 100% but ball park figure would be less than an hour (can't be sure of that,just sayin')

Some thought was put into the design of the device,side charging port is a plus and the design of the bottom of the device makes it so its stable when sitting on your desk or table.
Yes it can easily be knocked off but not because of the base design,its not like other similar devices that aren't as firmly planted as this one.



PROS:

-Good size battery,enough to last you all day and then some
-Refill system is easy,lift tab,refill then close it up
-Easy to use for new vapers,just suck,inhale then exhale,can't get simpler than that.
-Compatibility with ITO Cartridge 0.7ohm/1.0ohm/1.2ohm, ITO Pod, ITO-X Pod,so you got several to choose from.
-Only coil i got delivered a nice flavorful vape with decent cloud production

CONS:

-Hate to be that guy but just the one cartridge? not good.
New vaper who just wants to get started might not know that he should get more cartridge replacements,a dud might be in the box and that might put him off trying vaping and just going back to cigarettes.
Always gotta think that these type of devices are also intended towards new vapers,so that is something to keep in mind.


WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS DEVICE:

Well as a MTL vaper or new vaper yeah,this is a good device,well built and with a large battery that should meet all your vaping needs.
Good assortment of coils to choose from

Well that is it for today folks.


Thanks to my friends at Voopoo for sending me this product so i could review it and thanks to everyone who took the time to read this review.
