    eGo Battery gone kaput.

    Thanks for the help. I have tried raising the center pin, still not getting any response from the charger or battery. Also, if it t'was only a center pin issue, the LED should still be working right? Especially considering the battery did register some charge. I actually saw someone on you tube...

    What's up with all the China hate?

    Time for another controversial discussion. What is going on with this attitude or hatred against Chinese products? I am seeing this on Facebook, here, and several other places. Don't get me wrong, as an American, I believe in supporting US based businesses, as a North Carolinian I also...

    Magneto top cap v2

    Its available from vapingcraze for $9.99, but haven't ordered it yet. It has the well that allows Ego Threaded devices in addition to 510 threads. It is slightly longer than the original top cap. Adds versatility and length to your magneto.

    eGo Battery gone kaput.

    Thanks for the replies, with the delays that are happening over in China, I might just get another L - Rider. They are actually a bit smaller than the Fasttech ones. I will probably get myself one too, so I can have a stealth sorta vape.

    eGo Battery gone kaput.

    My fiancee's mini 450 mAh eGo "style" battery has gone belly up. It will not charge nor will the LED come on. Testing with my multimeter yielded a voltage reading of .74 volts. I estimate the battery has seen no more than 75 charge cycles, which of course if far less than they are supposed to...

    Hey all, signed up to find more places where I can get the Aspire BDC clearos.

    Un-dyed Cotton Yarn, better/cheaper than Silica? What is a Microcoil?

    I haven't gotten round to doing anything with it yet. I do plan to boil or sterilize it though, so I can't confirm about any "black flecks". Could be dirt or other particulate matter, or might be a natural reaction. The Ecru is off-white in color. And is weight #4 (and those who know about...

    I think I might be done.

    Yes, excellent news. What is great about e-cigs is you can set your own nic level and come down if you want, as many people have done. I know several people who have gone from 24 or 18 and are now just vaping zero nic.

    Un-dyed Cotton Yarn, better/cheaper than Silica? What is a Microcoil?

    I was on the phone with a representative from Peaches & Cream, regarding the yarn I had purchased at Walmart for wicking material. I bought a white colored ball and one called Ecru, which according to wiki is as follows: "Ecru describes the shade greyish-pale yellow or a light...

    Do you use unprotected batteris in your Mod? I am thinking about it!

    With a mechanical, I think the safest route is a high quality protected battery or a high quality IMR with perhaps a fuse. The protection circuits on the higher quality batteries (Panasonic's) are unlikely to fail. Protected batteries also generally have a higher capacity (mAh rating).

    Which mech? Sigelei Silver Dragon or Sigelei #19 w/ Nzonic Top Cap - Brass/copper

    Welcome. Every vaper gets a spot of juice on the tongue every once in a while, but if its more than that, the above advise is good. I had a head that was giving me these issues, I just replaced it and everything was cool.

    Hello and please help with Davide Mini coils, please!

    Welcome aboard. A meter, or device with it is very helpful, or failing that a magnifying glass. I can never read those engraving/etchings either without a magnifying glass. Mini Davides are nice.

    You ever been called White Trash for vaping?

    It is narrow minded thinking for anyone to use such a term.

    Should we boycott businesses that ban vaping in their establishments?

    Very good posts and very good views. It is good to get people thinking. I want to add that controversy, while many people seek to avoid it (often because they view it as militant or devisive), can be a good thing and can have positive effects. When someone tells me that something, someone, or...

    My DIY Recipes (Round 4)

    Hah! No, "The Hooser Effect" is the scientific name (heh) to describe what you first pointed out to me. The paradoxical pheonomena whereby overflavoring of DIY juice leads to the total loss of flavor.
