    Aspire Nautilus

    I've been using the Nautilus for three days now with the installed 1.6 ohm atty; have run 3 tanks and so far no issues. I've been vaping it at about 11 watts on the 1.4mm airhole without any dry hits or gurgling. I've gone up to 15, but dry hits start appearing if you do too many back-to-backs...

    Stacking 2 18350 Battery Question

    Indeed. 2 stacked 18350s running at 11 watts in my Vamos run far cooler than a single 18650 at the same 11 watts.

    Stacking 2 18350 Battery Question

    One of the benefits is that the only way a Vamo will achieve power settings over about 12.0 watts is with stacked 18350 batteries. Another is the fact that current drain is lower meaning cooler running batteries at the same power setting compared to an 18650.

    EH 18650 2000mah batteries ...

    Odd how many people automatically assume something is "crappy" just because they've never used it before. I've been using the EH 18650 2250mAh (relabeled Pannies according to some folks at the candlepower forum as well as EH themselves) for about 3 months with no issues at all. Also have a few...

    HELP!!! My BRAND NEW Itaste 134 acting WEIRD!!! Wrong Battery? Bad Mod? Confussed!!! :(

    I received a 134 that did the exact same thing...intermittent hits, and a faint "buzzing" when the button was pressed. Sent back to vendor, new one works excellent...no issues whatsoever. I'd for sure send it back while it's under warranty (90 days I believe) small vendor or not. the size of the...

    Odd Taste From BCCs

    Some replacement heads aren't made properly; they're supposed to have no-res wire as legs going through the grommet; if they don't, the positive leg gets hot, burning the grommet and giving the taste you describe. I've sent such heads back to vendors with an explanation and they've always been...

    Thoughts on Smoktech ARO?

    The AROs are fantastic. The heads that came with mine are very tightly wrapped, almost micro-coil like...and they steam like nobody's business. Even with both filler wicks in the thing, i can run 60/40 pg/vg at 9 watts chain-vaping no problem. Love 'em!

    Closeout Dekang RY4 at my local B&M - not too bad!

    I was just given a 50ml bottle of DK-4; I haven't vaped a Dekang juice in a couple of years, and I've gotta say "surprised" is the word. It most definitely leans more towards the tobacco with just a light caramel flavor and room smell. It's also not sickly sweet like some "tobacco" e-juices can...

    Stacking 2 18350 Battery Question

    I've used stacked 18350s in my Vamos from day one with no issues whatsoever; I do insure that they're in good working order, that they are equally charged, not damaged, etc. There is a risk in using *any* battery when push comes to shove, as catastrophic failure can and will occur at any time...

    Killer 705 Clone from madvapes (Terminator RDA) for $11.99

    Purchased one of the Terminator Tanks and an extra atty from madvapes. Unfortunately I had to get the smaller tank version because they were sold out of the "5ml" tank version. The smaller tank doesn't work well with the TT atty at all...at least the one I got. The clearance between the outer...

    ARO bottom coil clearomizer tank Review made by SmokTech sold by timelessvapor

    These things are awesome, especially the pyrex version. The coils are far superior to the Kanger equivalent. I couldn't be happier with these bad boys!

    Comment by 'jazzbo' in 'Stainless Steel Mesh vs. Silica Rope'

    If you're experiencing an off-flavor with ss mesh or you have a sharp, metallic taste, there's one of two things likely to be wrong...either your wick and coil is not perfect or your voltage is too high or low for your mesh's wicking rate. Using ss mesh is far more precise of an endeavor than...

    Anyone have info on the Smoketech Aro BCC?

    Grabbed a few of the Pyrex AROs from madvapes; I love these things. They seem to be able to take higher wattage without a dry hit, and the coils look nicer than Kanger head coils; they're almost wound like microcoils...the 2.4 ohm heads have about 9 wraps of wire and the 1.8 ohm heads have 7 or...

    Getting the top cap off your Vamo quickly

    Yeah, it's not too hard. I used vise-grips and a piece of leather to protect the cap and just wiggled it back and forth somewhat forcefully at first but gentler once I felt it giving way. I needed to get mine apart to replace the center pin grommet which got whacked when I let my GF use a 510 to...

    Dissapointed

    Just because something is 'Murican made does not automatically bestow infallibility or superior quality control upon it. I owned a ProVari and had a few issues with it; had to send it in twice for a wonky switch; after a few months had to send it back to get the PCB replaced. Finally just sold...

    Stainless Steel V3 on the way

    I ordered just the V3 without batteries or toppers from fasttech yesterday...stainless version. Glad to see it does, indeed, have the eGo threading and that it's a brushed stainless. Looking forward to getting mine soon. Let us know how you like it!

    eVic and amp limitation question...

    Genny-style attys with a fat ss mesh wick typically require far more than 8.5 watts... Also, most NET juices I vape taste better at higher wattages.

    RTS Vapes: Lowest Prices on Quality Flavorless Nicotine Liquid Made in the USA

    Would be interesting to know the names of these agents.... I'm sure that information is not illegal. Or maybe it is in this country these days. Jebus.

    Marlboro Light ejuice

    If you want real tobacco flavor, you're gonna have to go with a NET juice. Still won't taste like a Marly Light, but there's some damn awesome NETS out there from want2Vape, GoodEJuice, etc.

    Any Latakia pipe eliquids out there?

    I second Want2Vape's London if you're looking for Latakia and orientals. It's a NET, so be prepared to have your wicks and coils hate you for vaping it. :-)
