    eGo-CTwist Charging

    A red USB port can supply more current, but all ports should be able to supply the 420mA required. Just possibly you have an anally-retentive PC that limits the current to 100mA, as it is theoretically allowed to do, but if you have then it's very rare. If the wall-charger doesn't fix it...

    Conflicted, annoyed and slightly irritated

    I'm at the stage now where my backup is generally a spare battery, rather than a spare everything as it was when I was using the sort of stuff you are using. But an RBA is not zero maintenance. It does need to be cleaned every couple of fills. It does need a new coil now and again, and making...

    Technology that needs to be regulated out of existence NOW!

    Thinking of the many and various failures of GPS and putting it together with Google car... It might drive very safely on a paved highway, but I'd hate to be in the back seat when it turned onto a farm track.

    Burnt Nose

    IIRC, there's a known percentage water content above which combustion isn't supported. But that will go out of the window with atomisation and the other constituents. Your guess is as good as anyone's, I think. Take care. And if you're arrested for being drunk or in hospital after being blown...

    What would you guys reccomend for first "Premium liquid"

    Zamplebox might be worth a try for you. They mix and match various premium flavours each month and it's very cost effective even for us over here in the UK: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/uk-forum/543994-zamplebox-made-uk-pic-heavy.html It would be much cheaper in the US. Even if you...

    Newbie question about my eGo C Twist battery (cleartomizer compatability)

    Yes, you can.

    Marketing to kids

    I think you need to understand ANTZ. They are not testing us to see if we are good. They will not be happy if we limit ourselves to medically approved devices that deliver a fixed dose of foul-tasting nicotine at fixed intervals and that are only available on prescription countersigned by three...

    Clearo that doesn't leak

    I seriously doubt it's the glue. If you use tanks with air-holes on the side, such as the aerotank, then any leakage will be down the side of the mod, not onto the battery pin.

    22mm tanks

    Fogger V4. Dual coil, so a bit harder to coil than a Kayfun, but just as good, glass tank, and very cheap even if you buy authentic.

    Marketing to kids

    I wouldn't buy one of these. On the other hand if it was a sonic screwdriver I'd be on it like a shot. Why stop there? If we can sell vaping gear to teenage boys, maybe we should sell automatic assault weapons to preteen girls. Glamguns: My Little Carbine They're all limited edition customised...

    Marketing to kids

    This smells to me very much like the Hello Kitty AK47 -- a one off custom job that has been blown up out of all proportion. Now show me the bit where the shop owner has racks of hundreds of these and is selling them to kids. It is not a problem if there are one or two of these around. The...

    Your Single Best Advice for Newbies

    That depends more on you than on me. I've heard that the Provari is stupidly expensive here in the UK, and to be honest the fact that it's made in the USA is of almost no interest to me. If it was made in the UK, that would be different. At the moment I'm interested in high-power...

    Your Single Best Advice for Newbies

    I'm going to go against some of the advice here. When you are starting out, don't buy cheap. You don't know enough to know if it is good or bad. Buy good, well-regarded, branded products or nothing. If that means you can't commit to an MVP or Provari, so be it. Plenty of us started out on a...

    wrong switch? help!

    Fundamentally your switch is in line with the current coming out of the battery, so it has to take the maximum current. Any resistance in the switch (and that's what limits its current rating) will limit the amount of current that can be drawn from the battery. If you use the On/Off pin, your...

    Aqua v.s. Fogger V4...?

    I've just got the pair -- Aqua clone and real Fogger v4. It's early days yet, and the Fogger coils are 0.8 ohms, which means the Sigelei 20W always tries to run it above 15W. I'm running that with cotton yarn and microcoils, whereas the Aqua is silica. I'd say taste-wise there is not much...

    Sub ohm toxin study

    No it doesn't. It gets to the vaporisation point of the liquid, and sticks there, no matter what power is being delivered to the liquid. The thermal resistance of the element/liquid boundary may make it a few degrees hotter with a higher power, but probably only around ten or twenty Celcius; not...

    Sub ohm toxin study

    @rawr, a tank system does not save you. And anyway, the study used a top-coil clearomiser, not a dripper. It is down to the rate of liquid delivery at the surface of the coil. Sub-ohm dripper coils are designed and built to provide sufficient liquid delivery for the power that they are used at...

    Sub ohm toxin study

    @JMarca, I disagree. It's all about coil temperature, and that has nothing to do with power or resistance. A properly functioning coil will be cooled by the vapourising liquid. Only when it ceases to operate correctly does it get any hotter* than the coil in an EVOD. It is highly likely that...

    Stopped Completely Or..

    I smoked for over twenty years and I got my first e-cig just to fill in between cigarettes. About a year later, with a kick from my fiancee, I stopped smoking and just used the e-cig. Within a week or so I upgraded my gear to an eGo. I haven't smoked since.
