    A good glue(s) to use for Juicybox?

    Hi all, Just yesterday, I built my first mod; a simple 3 AA NIMH powered Juicybox variant for the DSE 901. I'm very pleased with its battery life/vapor production performance, but need advice on which glue(s) to use to make it more sturdy. I'd post a pic, but do not have enough seniority, I...

    sickly sweet, medicinal smelling/tasting PG

    Thanks for the quick reply, Kate. Whew... I tried vaping some of it... blec! Good thing I kept the receipt, I hope they'll take this bottle back. In the mean time, I guess it's back to dilute VG. Does anyone know of a sure bet for good PG online? Price is not a big factor, so long as...

    sickly sweet, medicinal smelling/tasting PG

    Hi all, I just opened my pint bottle of Paddock brand PG, that I bought from the local pharmacy a few days ago. Not only is it thicker than the only other PG I've had from an e-liquid seller, but it smells; kind of sickly sweet/medicinal. Is it normal for PG to have a taste/smell, or should...

    Analog tasting like s**t???

    Hi, This reaction seems to be typical; e cig smoker tries ....-log for first time in a few days and is horrified at the taste. I haven't had an analog since July 23rd. I'm trying to hold out as long as I can, so as to be able to fully taste the horribleness.

    901 auto battery stuck on

    Follow up: Well, the battery wouldn't stop glowing. So, following video instructions from Maddog, I took the battery apart, and now have a fitting to make a Juicybox. Now, if only I can get out to Radio Shack before it closes :|

    901 auto battery stuck on

    Yeah, I just checked it, and it's still on... I tried blowing, smacking the thing, etc... no go. It's on to stay. No big deal, though, I suppose. I was needing a fitting for my first try at a nicostick. Any chance it could explode? 8-o

    901 auto battery stuck on

    Hi all, I have a 901 auto battery that is stuck on: the led is glowing the same color as it does when normally used. I put it outside, just to be careful. Any way of unsticking it before the battery is fried? It's been going for about 10 minutes, now. Thanks, Jherek

    Having second thoughts....

    Keef, you're quite right - the 901 is not a heavy duty vaping machine, as I've been using it. Hopefully, in a few days, I'll be vaping as lightly as I was smoking (half pack a day + nicotine gum). And thanks to all for their input.

    Having second thoughts....

    Unfortunately, I just blew the last of my vaping budget on a big lot of Ecopure VG juice. No matter, I'll get some PG and cut it with that. I don't have any distilled water handy... is it alright to use a drop or two of carbon filtered tap water, assuming the mix gets used within 24 hours?

    Having second thoughts....

    Yeah. That's exactly how it goes for me... 2 to maybe 4 good draws and it's back to lung-sear time. I suppose these atomizers are just toast. I really don't think I ever ran mine dry, aside from the dry burn cleaning technique. I did vape a LOT, though and topped it often.

    Having second thoughts....

    Ah yes! I have the same problem... I pulled that burned thread stuff out of my totally dead atomizer. I figured that could have been a factor. What is up with that material?

    You mean a filter inside the atomizer that's not visible without taking it apart? If so, this would explain much!

    I will give the coke soak a go. Could this horrid taste be burning VG... that nasty elephant in the room??

    Having second thoughts....

    Indeed, though when it works well it produces HUGE vapes. Is it normal to have that horrible burning stench from any atty that's gone a bit dry?

    Ruyan direct. I've got 3 working atomizers on hand and 5 more on the way... but it seems all too few.

    Yeah, it is kinda thick. I did add a drop or two of water, but very little... it's only a little thinner than pure VG.

    Hi all, Tomorrow it will be a week since I got the DSE 901, and while I haven't smoked an analog since that day, I've had neophyte troubles aplenty with the 901. I've had THREE atomizers go bad. One is totally dead because I damaged it with tweezers trying to fix it (broke the power leads)...

    Are the Lipton tea bags pure hemp, or do they have a plastic component?

    Atomizer Death Reports - add yours here ...

    I am just a neophyte at vaping, and I've lost three 901 atomizers in 5 days. One, the one I used the most, got gunked up after vaping it really hard for 5 days. I'm vaping about 3/4's VG with PG fluild and a bit of water. It wasn't hitting as well and was giving off a nasty burning smoke...
