    SMOK TFV8 Baby Beast Top Spinning Lid swings open HELP??

    Welcome to ECF, Michelle! The best suggestion I have is using a vape band wider then the ones that come with the baby beast tanks. That has worked for me, but I don't carry it in a purse. I have an older TFV4 that the swivel is woefully loose on and a wider vape band does a pretty good job on...

    Safest online payment method?

    Sounds good, but no Wally in my small town. Next town 30 miles away and only go there every couple weeks. Been saving my cashback for a while now and have enough available for about 3 kits. :D But have my weber grille rotisserie ordered leaving me enough for one mod. Vaping and beer while...

    Safest online payment method?

    I only use my 1 year old PC for online shopping/buying, never tablet or phone. I always install all system security updates and never, ever store passwords, CC, or banking information on it. I get the messages asking if I want that information stored for future use and always say NO! I also...

    Safest online payment method?

    3 to 5 dollars a month would add up much more and faster then $3 per load, especially if only using it every 2 or 3 (or even more) months. It is looking like my current system, CC with immediate notification of all charges other then in person along with a $250 limit, is my best and only...

    Safest online payment method?

    Thanks for the responses! Paypal is not an option with this online vendor. I checked with my CC company and small town bank, neither offered prepaid or such cards.....no other suggestions. Comment on prepaid below..... That sounds like the cheapest I've seen/heard, may check it out...

    Safest online payment method?

    After 20+ years with the same credit card and number, I've had the misfortune to experience two instances of unknown, unauthorized charges within the last 3 months. Both times the charges (not vape related) were removed, but it required the cancellation of the old card and issuance of a new...

    Best Nicotine

    I've only used Heartland Vapes for my nicotine, so can't compare to others. But have been happy enough with it, have no interest in trying others. I don't notice any peppery taste. They offer 3 "qualities" in sizes ranging from 120ml to 55 gallon drums. I have tried the regular and the...

    TPriv 3 firmware OOPS!

    "Speaking of which, apparently OP ignored my suggestion. If so, I could/should have saved myself the trouble and avoided commenting." Sorry you found that comment so disturbing and "rude" as to justify your ire! I'll just leave it at that and bow out.

    I have to complain 2!!!!

    This post in no way is in disagreement with the idea of being considerate when vaping! Unfortunately, acceptable vaping lines have been drawn.....both by laws and self imposed. Thanks to the FDA proclaiming vape products as tobacco products, it seems to be included with the state's smoking...

    TPriv 3 firmware OOPS!

    The "one thing" you disagreed with has to be on my opinion that "not recommending Smok, ever again" seemed "a bit harsh" followed by your reasoning why my opinion is/was wrong. Then you proclaim "it is OK for everyone to have a different opinion???" Getting along? I actually thought I was...

    TPriv 3 firmware OOPS!

    Well shame on me for attempting to assist somebody with a Smok problem! I'll do my best to toe the line in the future!

    Hi

    Welcome! +1 on visiting a shop if you can to try some flavors. And as you go through the process, widen your options by even trying some flavors that might not "sound" good. You might just be surprised at what may turn out to be one of your favorites! Enjoy the journey!

    A few vaping questions that needs answered!

    It should go without saying, but since we are dealing with basics and in the interest of completeness...... After "removing the tank from the device", be sure to turn the tank over (base to the top) before "unscrewing the base!" Then "add juice from the bottom" which has now become the "top."...

    TPriv 3 firmware OOPS!

    Seems a bit harsh given your mistake on a mod that may be out of store and factory warranty, but...... You might contact an Aloma vape shop. From what I have read, they claim "All Alohmas are Certified Smok Warranty centers." I think the closest to you would be Sioux City, but might be worth...

    Prince tank X6 coils.

    Then you changed coils because: It could just be that your coil did not need to be changed.....yet. If you are vaping that one set-up with one flavor, all day, every day, it could be just that.......it just doesn't taste right today. That is why I rotate through several flavors during each...
