    In need of a "Tuff Mod"

    +1 for roughstack. not too big, but great battery life for the size, user servicable switch, and upgradable to higher voltate. Not to mention inexpensive and the good service from the people at MadVapes.

    Finally tippy toe-ing in here to say 'hi' and thank you!

    Long before finding Vaping, I had decided smoking was a LAZY habbit. An excuse for a break or to put something off. I am SOOOO much more productive now than I was just 6 months ago.

    Blu review after a year of use

    never tried a blu so can't speak one way or the other. But I did start with the similar 510. Like many others here I have given up on the "form over function" idea. I now have what I need to be satisfied and that is all that matters. I will give up a little in what my ecig looks like to have...

    Finally tippy toe-ing in here to say 'hi' and thank you!

    Sometimes I feel like my PV is glued to my hand. Do I vape more than I smoked? I don't think so; probably about the same. I DEFINITELY vape MORE OFTEN than I smoked. My habbits have changed a lot since not smoking. No longer do I take a 10 min "smoke break" a couple times an hour. I can pull out...

    Brand new battery fried?

    I agree. However before you ditch it, try cleaning the battery connector end thoroughly. May have gotten something in it which is connecting between the center post and outer wall of the battery. Worth a try.

    Is there VG I can buy

    It is more about the additives that could be added to the glycerine, yes there are other formulations out there. "food grade" or "USP" labelings ensure purity of the product. Without one of those labels who knows what might be mixed in with it.

    A Big Wow from a newbie

    Currently helping a buddy with an LS1 5.7......going in a BMW 5series. LOL. Going to be fun. As far as N2O...........bottles are for babies. If I want that power it will come from forced induction. The gearhead in me says I should spend more time on the modders forum. lol.

    Ok completely new to this...

    they were about a page and a half down, after scrolling past a bunch of other misc. supplies. Not very well organized section of the site. Would be much better if each model's accessories were grouped together in their own section.

    Nasty Taste in MadVapes RoughStack

    It would help for you to let us know what type of atty/carto you are using with your RS. Also if not the attomizers included with the kit, do you know what ohm rating the carto/atty is?

    What I've Learned About Vaping

    Great reply WOH. Not much I can add. I will elaborate on my feelings for one part: With my manual batteries I take two "puffs" then draw and inhale. The puffs are not to "prime" or warm the atty; I simply allow the initial puff vapor to escape my mouth and smelled as I draw and inhale. Seems...

    How do most inhale?

    puff,puff,draw,inhale. Inbetween the "puffs" I let that vapor escape my mouth to breathe back in through my nose. I find this really lets me get the most out of the flavors. After a couple weeks off cigs, the smell of the vapor became as important as the taste to get the most out of a flavor...

    Question about refilling cartomizers with a similar with different flavor

    I regularly "top off" cartos with a different flavor, with a little care. Changing flavors on a carto means there will be some of the previous flavor lingering; how much depends on the strength of the flavor that was in it and the new flavor. Often the mingling of flavors is an enjoyable...

    Something weird I have noticed

    Have read a couple threads mentioning that PG base may effect odor (PeeG). I have had similar experience but only first thing in the morning when I have slept 8hrs plus (not taken in any fluids/dehydrated). Seems to be a unique odor and not the normal Pee smell you might notice when using a...

    Strange battery problem

    Overtightening the battery to the charger can cause wierd problems. I turn the battery in far enough to make the charger light react, then about 1/4 turn more; never tight.

    Ahh!! dead battery!!!

    Echo Doormouse. Thoroughly clean the battery and charger connections with alcohol or PGA/vodka. Try charging again. Overtightening the battery into the charger can cause problems. Plug the charger in first, then screw in the battery until the charger light starts to flash.......then just...
