    Who here only stocks one juice?

    Hah! Me too! I actually have tons of different (full bottles minus 1ml or so) juices.. but everything i've tried I always end up back to DK-Tab.. Something about the throat hit, vapor production.. the harshness? It's very very pleasing, in the way that an analogue is. And the taste is very...

    batteries - am I doing something wrong?

    With the trustfire.. you'd be better off getting some quality AW ICR 14500's.. or better yet an AW IMR 14500 (This has less capacity than the ICR.. but will give you much better performance, and they are cheaper) UltraFire/Trustfire highly overstate their battery capacities... and a lot of the...

    Everyone who uses an ecig should read this report.

    I do not like this part of said report I have noticed that my lungs have not 'bounced back' and cleared themselves out like the other three times I've quit smoking in my life... I do notice an increase in lung function, but not of the same level that I experienced every other time I quit...

    Help! Yummy Backwoods Brew flavors clog my Echo carts.

    Weird.. I'm having this exact same issue. I'm used to getting 4-7 days out of cartos.. my go-to is boge 2.0 and the smok tech 1.7's from CCV... but everytime I decide to put some of my backwoods flavor in a carto, I do it knowing that the carto will be dead within 2 days. Every single...

    Variable Volt Box Mods - Great Prices

    Yeah.. I love how small my evercool by Silent Soldier is... the pictures really don't do justice to how compact the thing is.. I've been doing some tests with my voltmeter and load adapter.. this little thing (that literally fits in the palm of my hand without carto), when set at 5.5v, gives...

    Why does extreme heat equal less vapor?

    I believe you are absolutely correct... this completely explains why whenever I vape, the first couple tokes are amazing throat hit/body wise.. but if I continue to vape and the cartomizer becomes hot, the quality noticeably decreases.. and this must be why.. as a small test I used some ice to...

    e-power problems already

    check the spring. I had an issue where the spring, when it was compressed by the battery, was only making contact with the shrinkwrap of the battery.. if you look at the negative end of the battery you'll notice the shrinkwrap extends over the sides.. my spring was only touching this. What I...

    Cheap, ready to go variable voltage modules..

    I was looking at ebay, and noticed an abundance of cheap, ready-made variable voltage modules from china.. I was wondering if anyone has looked into using one in a mod? A good majority of them support up to around 15-18 watts with 3A max... just curious, beacuse with the prices I'm seeing, they...

    e-power problems already

    Your battery might just be crap.. the higher internal resistance of a battery the greater the voltage will drop under a load. I have done quite a few tests with my 14650 e-power and the stock 14650 batteries that come with it BLOW in terms of maintaining voltage.. I think SmokTech used some...

    Why does extreme heat equal less vapor?

    I notice this same thing happens to me with extended use back to back... I use cartos... and once the carto has heated up, the quality of the vapor and hit go down considerably IMO.. just something I've noticed after a lot of back to back, heavy use.

    How to use this charger with my LiIon batts??

    That's a hobby charger... you can easily charge your batteries with it as long as it supports charging 4.2v batteries, which it looks like it does. Here's a very good writeup/walkthrough.. What is a Hobby Charger A really nice method, instead of making your own battery cradles, is just get...

    Is there a 4.2v

    You could try IMR batteries (If you're using a mod, or mod-like device) Take my e-power, for example... with a 2.0ohm carto, the stock 14650 battery under load (with a battery charged to 4.0v, mind you) drops to 3.33v! (This is from 4v)... with a standard resistance 3.0ohm carto it still drops...

    Anyone ever order from Crystal Clear Vaping?

    CCV is awesome.. I have placed all my carto orders there. They seem to be the cheapest around (For what you get..) Although goodprophets is bringing it.. they are offering 5 packs of boge cartos at $5.99 a pack... but with CCV you get the syringe and the drip tips... so it's a real toss up

    Is there a 4.2v

    I'd opt for the VV mod with a switching regulator. This is honestly the only way I know of to maintain a solid 4.2 under load (and this is by setting it to 4.3 or so.. as there's a .10v drop even with a solid switching regulator with a low resistance load) and it's a DAMN good sweet spot for a...

    OH MY - Talk about a "MOD" . . .

    hah.... the handheld 'herbal' vaporizers are actually pretty nice, but a lot of them get pretty damn close to combustion. I use one, it's powered by butane. Let it be known that I'm also a Prop 215 patient and this is a legal activity for me (California) so I hope I'm not breaking any rules...

    (for those new to E-cigs) brands you shouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.

    I'd like to make a mention of the XHale o2... while not nearly as bad as a lot of the others (it's only $20 for a charger, battery, atty, 5 prefilled carts...$14.99 o.O for a pack of 10 prefilled carts) It's what ushered me into the world of vaping... but the problem was the actual amount of...

    A PBusardo Review - The Smoov E Cig

    Yeah I agree... But if you click on this link Batteries they claim their batteries are '5v batteries regulated to 3.7v' which is a line of BS IMO... it's not even possible chemistry wise for a lithium battery to be at "5v".. the only battery I know of that operates at 5v is a 4s NiMH pack

    A PBusardo Review - The Smoov E Cig

    I find it really strange that on their website they claim You said that you tested one with a meter and got 4v no load correct? At first I thought they could've been crazy and used some sort of NiMH configuration instead of lithium ion (to achieve 5v)... but a nimh that small would drop to...

    Alright.... the e-power mod

    I'm pretty sure all those claims are false... I've done some testing with teh stock 14650 and an AW IMR 14500.. I posted the results way earlier in the thread but here they are again.. STOCK 14650 battery, open circuit voltage: 4.02 STOCK 14650 battery, wired directly to 2.0ohm carto: 3.35...
