    Get smell out of o-rings

    You can boil rubber or plastic to remove the smell, the worse it is, the longer it must boil and the more water it must have to release the odor into. I have to boil off the tops to my bike bottles because they get that nasty freezer taste to them, and I usually have to boil them 2-3 times...

    Protank II flooding

    Every now and then when one of my evod/protank heads fails for some reason it just leaks like crazy. Im not sure what starts it, but it happened to me a few weeks ago and I was on vacation, and of course being dumb I forget a spare head. So I rewicked it with cotton from a qtip, and bam...

    Recovering Over-Discharged Batteries

    Literally anything that you could classify as poor performance. Limited output and life of charge are both possible or likely factors. There is also power cutting or dropping unexpectedly that are also signs of a failing battery. Usually and without fail, they puff up like they are...

    Aluminum threads? Are they that much of a nightmare? Your thoughts!

    I had a Private V2 aluminum for a few months, then gave it to a friend who has been using it a few months. You can tell the threads aren't as tight as they were when new, but its still fine. I even dropped it a few times. Im used to working with aluminum threaded items, aluminum is...

    Recovering Over-Discharged Batteries

    Its not in all situations, I have an RC car that pulls 10A no problem, and its not even near a lot of others ive seen out there. They aren't that continuous either, helis are, but cars are typically driven in burst. I was watching a video the other day where the guy has an 80A motor...

    Vaping With No Visible Vapor ?

    I got some 100% PG once and was amazed, you blow out almost nothing. I imagine if you hold it in for 4 or 5 seconds it would definitely result in no visible vapor, as it doesn't take much longer than that with my 50/50. I don't do anything fancy, just hold my breath for a little bit and...

    For the people having a hard time building decent hitting coils

    I thread the cotton right through the coil, but yes you definitely have to make sure there is plenty of flow. Id prefer a small bit of leakage to a dry hit, so I try to stick to the thinner side

    Mod bent?

    My k100 has some play in it too, has since I got it. Ive dropped it and had the top part pop out a little and become really bent. It goes back in with a rubber hammer just fine though =) Protank heads can be rebuilt, I stuff mine with cotton now and its definitely much better. I use a...

    The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

    Good thing they gas station near me just started selling Dekang I guess... =( I also am down to one broken drip tip that is still usable, and order 10 with my juice, so this should be amusing to see if I don't drop my ecig again and break it the rest of the way. I cant believe how sturdy...

    What percentage of people would you say actually "quit" using an ecig?

    Its definitely dependent on personality. I love electronic stuff, so the moment i tried an ecig i was in love, and had no problem quitting with crappy cigalikes, i just finished off my smokes slowly over 2 weeks using both. Eventually found this place and got even better stuff. From my...

    can anyone else in Minnesota (or other very cold mid west areas) relate to this right now?

    I know its crazy with the weather, even in MA. For the temp changes and helping with the leaks the best thing you can do is get a bottom feeder like a Reo or vmod and top it with a drip atomizer or carto, but preferably drip atomizer, then you just squeeze in what you will use at the time and...

    DCT Pro Coil

    Meh, I can prime a carto in about 30 seconds. Have a video in my blogs of me priming a fresh carto ;) With the amount of filler in a carto once its wicking you can chain vape like crazy and no burns, something I have yet to get with any wicked atty...unless I pull wicks, and then when I don't...

    Are you weening down? Why not?

    I didn't want or care to quit smoking until I found ecigs, so why cut down. Unless I have the desire to wean down my nic for some odd reason, then I don't imagine id have the will power to do so
