    Just Getting Started

    Sounds like a great start...tho I wouldn't get my hopes up too high about the user manual unless you're good at interpreting "Engrish" ;) The eGo batteries are fatter than normal cigarettes, so the cones go around the atomizer to give the whole thing a more "finished" look...roughly...

    Flavor Overload! Need Pointers

    It sounds like you might be a good candidate to move up in the world to ESSENCE....Essence...essence... from E-liquidPlanet Essence, along with the High Voltage Octane line from Nhaler and the Tonic USA eLiquid from PureSmoker, use a flavor base made in the USA that really delivers a LOT of...

    Are you coming up on either 2 or 3 years at ECF? POST HERE:)

    I think I bought my first overpriced e-cig from a mall kiosk 3 over 3 years ago, but it was 25 months ago that I was about to go outside for a cigarette when my daughter (then 7) said, "Daddy, isn't that 'pretend cigarette' supposed to be better for you? You should use that instead." ...Out of...

    Trying to quit need some help

    Actually, the tobacco itself has a lot more nicotine in it than that, but a lot of it is turned into partially combusted particulates (aka "tar") or lost in sidestream smoke. Since the whole "lite cigarette" debacle, scientists are finally starting to figure out that smokers will change the...

    Maybe some pictures will help: Here's what the "inside" of a typical atomizer looks like: Notice the steel wool "Bridge" at the top? That absorbs a small amount of e-liquid and wicks it into the coil to be vaporized. Normally you would put a cartridge that is stuffed with polyfill (some...

    The VaporCast Store currently has the lowest price I've found for the 1000mAH eGo-T USB Passthru: Genuine Joye 1000mAh XL eGo Battery w/USB (510, passthrough) - The VaporCast Store I actually bought mine from Vixen Vapors 2 weeks ago during their 4th of July sale, but they're out of stock and...

    New vapers experiences with taste buds recovery

    Exhaling through your nose (French Exhale) is a great way to get a strong flavor. Another "pro" technique is the "French Inhale": The nicotine in e-cig vapor isn't easily absorbed by our lungs, so keeping it in your mouth or upper respiratory system is the best way to get the nicotine--holding...

    You are right that the eGo's won't work on standard 510 chargers, but the "passthrough" function means that is has a mini-USB port on the bottom. As long as the battery is at least 1/4 charged, you can vape while it is plugged into the (included) USB cable and constantly recharge without even...

    I would like to know the basics ASAP so I can purchase this product

    I try to keep a pack of dissolvables or a tin of snus on hand "just in case" I can't vape or on the rare occasion that I crave an analog. Newer smokeless tobacco like Swedish-style snus have been pasteurized so you don't have to spit and that process removes most of the nitrosamines, so they...

    Just Getting Started

    A typical cartridge is simply a plastic "tip" that includes a bit of filler material to hold about a milliliter of liquid that slowly wicks its way into the atomizer. A "cartomizer" is designed with the filler material built-in which can be convenient, but prone to go "bad" within a few weeks...

    Dual Coils, 5 Volts, and Melting Attys!

    The normal problem with using MOST low resistance cartomizers at 5V is that they use a very small coil to reduce the resistance but produce so much heat at 5V that the e-liquid just can't wick fast enough making it go dry and burn out. The new dual coil cartomizers actually have 2 heating...

    new to vaping... questions as to where it is ok to vape?

    I usually don't mind going out to the smoking section with my friends as long as I have a good vape with me. Propylene Glycol vapor is an air sanitizer so if I don't like their secondhand smoke, I take a "toot" and smile. The downside is that it can be hard to vape in peace because somebody...

    Ego-t curious to order...

    There are low resistance "Tankomizers" for the eGo-T, and I personally really like the way they look on an eGo-T...but I've been mostly disappoined with the flavor. I like them for convenience and some can produce a good amount of vapor, but I prefer the flavor from Dual Coil Cartomizers or...

    I would like to know the basics ASAP so I can purchase this product

    I don't think I'd recommend a savory flavor like Kung Pao Chicken to a first-time vaper, but yes that would work. It is very intense, but I've been known to put a drop or two of Capella's Vanilla Custard flavoring directly on my atomizer without diluting it at all. Since you're just...

    new to vaping... questions as to where it is ok to vape?

    Correction: Any private business owner has the right to ASK you to stop vaping. They can't actually stop you any more than they could prevent you from chewing bubble gum--if you make a big scene out of it, they have every right to kick you out, but if you don't blow giant bubbles or huge plumes...

    where to get a certain flavor e juice (the best) flavor!

    Looking at the South Beach Smoke website, Their "deluxe 3-piece" kit looks like an 306, while the "Deluxe 2-piece" looks like a KR-808D1. Since they don't advertise their cartridges or sell bottles of e-liquid, it is a fair bet that they are using the standard DeKang e-liquid from China.

    You might have to have a certain number of posts before the system will allow you, but go ahead and try it. Clicke the little icon that looks like a film reel and then paste the youtube link into the popup window and it will look like this:

    HELP, with battery lingo

    Like Gristle said, "mAH" means Milli-Amp Hours. If you are using a 1.85mAH atomizer at 3.7V, it will draw 2amps of power--that means a 2000mAH battery could run constantly for one hour--which is about 3,600 5-second "puffs" so it could replace about 300 cigarettes before it needs to be...
