    Long time vapor but, need some noob advice.

    I started vaping in 2011. Most of you can't imagine how crappy the gear was back then. I was pretty active on here in those days. Anyway, I bought the latest thing for several years. I learned that for me that $200 mod or RBA didn't really vape any better than the Chinese clone that came...

    Experimenting with my new Penelope

    I have 3 other rebuildables on the way from coops or individual makers and they've all been delayed. I'm cursed or something. I was shocked to find the GG Penelope in stock and jumped on it. This is my first rebuildable but, I've done a lot of research (I've had plenty of time.) on things...

    Sent to my congressman and both my senators

    I sent the following to my congressman and both my senators. Oddly enough, I haven't heard from any of them not a form letter...nothing. Don't know what that means. Regardless, I would encourage all of you to do something similar. Of course I've redacted my name and address which was...

    I think I found out what's been going on with my mini

    For some time I've been having an intermittent problem with my mini failing to fire. I could usually make it fire again by tapping it or pulling the battery and putting it back in or cleaning the firing pin or really pushing the button down but, it's been getting worse. I know most of you...

    No more Powerizers???

    I was just on the site and Powerizers are nowhere to be found. Are they just out of stock? I'm pretty sure with all the VV Woodvils there was probably a run on them. Is there a problem with using them? What's going on?

    Why is ali express as a single word censored?

    I ran into this some time ago and I should have asked about it in here then. It's still a valid question though. Why is ali express as a single word censored? Someone on staff must know what ali express is to censor a reference to the website but, why? Alibaba isn't censored and ali express...

    Travel and Vaping Vaping on a flight to Las Vegas sitting next to an airline employee

    Most airports allow vaping but, most airlines don't. I'll only carry on an ego and some juice. If the TSA decides to get nasty, I won't be crying in the terminal. :) I've snuck and vaped on a plane before and I was pretty sure that no one really cared as long as I was discrete. Hold it in...

    Questions: Roughstack, Mega XL Carto, and Bolt

    I have just gotten my wife to start vaping (finally) and I fixed her up with a maxi roughstack V2. I started her on Boges but, I had some 510 Dual Coil Stainless Mega XL Cartomizers laying around and she loves them. First question: When I put that cartomizer directly in the roughstack, it...

    Interesting, My Doctors Do Not Consider Vaping Smoking at All

    I was a little surprised Monday. I went to see my doctor for a sore throat. He looked and found something that he wanted a specialist to take a look at. I hadn't been to the Dr. since I started vaping a year ago. I told him I'd quit smoking and showed him what I was doing. In his referral...

    Lost the spring screw on my Reo Mini

    I pulled the spring out of my Reo Mini to clean under it and lost the screw. Can anyone tell me the size? It's the one with the phillips head.

    Is something wrong with What's New???

    I post on this forum pretty regularly and I've gotten in the habit of hitting the What's New puildown and checking my posts for replies or to continue a discussion. Right now, I'm not getting anything. That's a first. What gives???

    Peppermints and Powerizers

    Peppermints and Powerizers...Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? :) I got in a couple pair of Powerizers today and there were a few peppermints in there. I don't recall getting a little gift like that when I ordered the Buzz Pro. So, is this a message about my oral hygiene? :)

    Help me help my wife switch

    A little over a year ago, my wife started chewiing nicotine gum and quit smoking but, she never quit the gum. I decided that I needed to quit too but, I started vaping. She tried my PV but, she said it made her cough. A few months ago she started smoking again. Well now she has a serious...

    Disney World is PV friendly :)

    I just got back from a week in Disney World. I used my REO mini everywhere that food and drinks were allowed. I got a few curious looks but, no complaints. If they were close enough, I explained what it was. One employee asked if I was using tobacco. I said that I wasn't and they left me...

    There's something you don't see every day!!!!

    I had an interesting experience at the office today. When I went out for lunch, law enforcement was all up and down the highway in front of my office. There were orange cones all over too but, none of them were blocking traffic and they didn't seem to be doing anything. It really wasn't clear...

    What's happening with the EQ???

    I might have missed this one but, all the noise on here was about the EQ for months before it came out. Actually back then it was the eclipse. Then it came out. Then there was something about a design problem and a recall. Then nothing. It's like it never existed and it's not going to...

    Maxi Roughstack Kit Misprint?

    I pointed someone new to the maxi roughstack a few days ago and he promptly got on madvapes and ordered a maxi roughstack kit. He came back a posted what he was getting and I was appalled that it came with two 16340s. If I'm not mistaken, the only way those can be used in a maxi is stacked for...

    Okay to charge unprotected bats on a Trustfire TR-001 charger?

    Anyone know whether it's okay to use the Trustfire TR-001 to charge unprotected 16340s? There's nothing to say it's not but, doesn't hurt to ask.

    Problems with new (to me) Reo Mini

    I picked up a Reo mini recently on classifieds. I'd previously used a homemade bottom feeder. Pretty much the same principle and performance is comparable. Of course, the Reo is better made. That's why I got it. This morning however the Reo really wasn't working well. I hooked up an...

    VV and Atomizer Problems

    I'm having a problem using a cheapie madvapes VV mod with standard (2.5 to 2.8 ohm) Joye 510 atomizers. I actually prefer 901s but, I managed to mess up my adapter. Don't ask, it took talent. I have another adapter on order but, in the mean time these 510s are all I have. I have one of those...
