    Okay. So Now someone needs to Explain the VV VW thing to me with the thing in my Hand.

    The first thing I'd do is throw the Iclear in the bin, and get a Protank mini or a Protank 2 with an aerobase as a starting point. Secondly, what ohms is your coil? I guess it's a 2.5. 5v would be too high for a 2.5 coil. Start at 6 watts, and the volts will be automatically adjusted to suit...

    kanger evod "glass" best clearo of 2014?

    I've been looking for a new tank recently. I have eVods and a Protank II with an areo-base, but I'm becoming disappointed by the Protank's inconsistency. The eVods on the other hand work great with built coils and cotton wicks. The PTII looks a whole lot better, and the glass gives a cleaner...

    Alright it is time! The plunge from Ego batteries to a Mod....

    I would also recommend the MVP 2. If you don't like the idea of a box shaped EV, go for a Vision Spinner. Or... have both. I have two Spinners and two MVPs. To my mind, it's a perfect mid-way point. As for tanks, I'd recommend trying the eVod or Protank mini. Then, really try to get into...

    Microcoil Pictorial - Simple

    Just took another look. Interesting about threading cotton. As I've just switched from Silica to cotton, this part was most interesting; "Feed wick through the microcoil and pull through. You want only light resistance as you feed it through, no bunching as you pull it through. Some say you...

    Microcoil Pictorial - Simple

    A great tutorial. I've been rebuilding for some time, but don't say no to a new tutorial. There may always be something, no matter how small, that can make a big difference. Thanks for that. Really :toast:

    Cotton wick

    After reading these posts, I've decided to make some cotton wicks. I did buy some cotton balls a while back an boil them twice, but just never got around to using them. So just now I took out the Silica wicks from the PT/eVod coil and threaded the cotton though. Boy does it make a difference...

    Evod body

    Protank II or mini will be a perfect replacement. But it's worth noting that not all "cracking" liquids will crack the plastic tank. I find it depends on the manufacturer. But going for a glass tank is the safer option. If you do buy a Protank Mini, be careful not to drop it like it did. The...

    Any vapors In Japan?

    I'd be interested if any one knows any more about vaping in Japan. I'm going there on my honeymoon next month. As I understand things so far, vaping with nicotine is illegal. Vaping 0mg is legal and can be sold to anyone above the age of 12. Vapers in Japan order nicotine liquid from outside...

    Help! Evod screwed on too tight!

    How tight did you screw it on? Wow! I usually screw mine on so lightly that they slightly wobble at times. It's good to under screw rather than over screw. In the days to come, if and when you upgrade and buy, say an MVP, you can cause damage and unnecessary problems by over tightening...

    New to vaping, sore throat etc

    Slowly get into the habit of not inhaling. You don't need to inhale. The nicotine is absorbed through the walls of the mouth and nose. It takes conscious effort and a bit of experimenting to get it right, but it is worth the effort. You may miss the quick hit that a cigarette gives and by...

    I dont need big clouds, maybe I am weird?

    For me, the big clouds are not for cloud's sake alone. I think the "cloud thing" for many is that there is more flavor with a bigger cloud. Big clouds also use more liquid, drain the battery faster, but, more flavor. So for some, clouds may be important, for others, it's the flavor and the cloud...

    I quit Vaping.

    I think it's good you've stopped vaping. As for me, I'm on my way to 0mg, and unsure of my vaping future, but I guess I'll always be into vaping on some level. Why not? Congratulations!!!

    I 'was' all about menthol

    When I smoked, I couldn't get along with menthol cigarettes. But with vaping, I love it, along with varieties of mint. I did branch out last month and bought around 300ml of 20 or so different flavors, but I must say, menthol/mint is still my all time favorite. Some flavors are ok, but others...

    Military grade vaping gear?

    OK, so that's an "indestructible" battery, REO, Provari and possibly an MVP, but what about indestructible tanks. A tank that is leak proof, can take hot weather, wont break with a fall etc. Am I right saying a Russian or Kayfun?

    MVP 2 is DYING :( - Is there a batttery replacement?

    I guess throwing away a well used and trusted MVP would feel like throwing out an old pair of shoes. I have two MVPs, one for a back up, and two just so they'll both live longer. But at the end of the day, they really are so cheap, I'd say just buy another. Who knows, when your new MVP packs...

    Rebuild coils

    I use eVods and PTII, and felt sure that this is the level I'd stay at. But recently I am beginning to see my future with something like the Kayfun or Russian. It's the leaking that can happen with Kanger products that bothers me. Not that I don't know how to fix a leak, but still, less hassle...

    Who here ISN'T dropping there nicotine levels?

    I've had my first 0mg day today. Not for the whole day, but much of it. I have been vaping 6mg, and I must say, I didn't really miss the nicotine much at all today. I've said a couple of times here before that I see nothing wrong with nicotine. I see it as the same as a good cup of coffee. But...

    New York State issues 3 Bills to: Impose 75% or 95% tax on Ecigs, Ban E-Liquid, Ban Ecig Use!

    It's the natural way to go for governments. If tax is dropping because due to falling cigarette sales, and if the falling cigarette sales are due to many turning to vaping, then the natural route is to tax e-liquid. It'll be called a "preventative tax" or something. But in reality, it's to...
