    Defective Battery with Hot Spring Failure

    It's kinda odd, their hot spring was made for a hotter vape. No where is there a mention of any fuse like abilities.

    Looking for new equipment.

    Well I can't steer you to a vendor, but there are these various mini 350mAh and 450mAh eGos floating around now. I have no idea how good they are.

    Wires to use for rebuilding a mod

    Did you use your meter to check for continuity, or lack of it between the center post and shell of the connector after soldering your wires to the connector?

    Building a mod for battery life- suggestions needed

    They really are. One battery retailer has an Xtar battery but chose the 3100 Panasonic re-wrap, we don't need any more Panasonic re-wraps. Wrong Xtar. Here's 3A test. Figure a 1.5Ω atty on a single tube PV at about 2.4A. The Sanyo has a slight advantage as this one is unprotected vs. the...

    Wires to use for rebuilding a mod

    The best place to get your wires is to pull them out of multi-strand cables. The insulation is always thinner so working with a thicker wire gauge is easier. For modders the various colors also come in handy. Like this.

    Building a mod for battery life- suggestions needed

    Just build this and use a larger enclosure. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/246380-dena-vv-mod-denalis-lil-sis-step-step-how.html You amp load is quite modest, there is no advantage to using mAh challenged IMRs in a mod like this. And don't fall for the Panasonic2900/3100...

    Problem with rebuilt atomizer being plugged...

    Seems odd. Boiling point of PG is ~ 370F, VG is about ~554F You should post some pics.

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    Well compared to many of the Genesis types, it seems a lot smaller.

    At the end of my wits with eGo-T?!?! Is the eGo-C any better???????

    It's hard to tell exactly, but those look like the original CE4, pretty much junk. They had a bottom coil and a plastic down tube. MiT moved on to the CE4+ which was quite similar to the Vision eGo (pansy named Startdust). Note the the CE4+ on the left and the Vision on the right...

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    If you look closely at the second pic, there is just one coil and two wick ends that drop into the tank, CE2 style. It even feeds the air up the tube from the connector just like all the cartos we have been discussing.

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    For those who like to fiddle there is a new kid on the block. Is it a carto tank? An almost Genesis atty? From SMOK. I think I want one. :) FWIW Avid is also selling these, @ $1 each, for the coil winding challenged. Rebuildable Atomizer Coils - Avid Vaper

    Slightly confused

    Interesting, no offense but "76 days" hardly qualifies as 'experience'.

    laser pointer mod question.

    Laser Pointer?????? Just kidding. Well that is the right thing to check, but a fully charged cell should do better than 3.7V in an unfettered mod. That's a bit worrisome. Assuming the atty works there can be only possible cause left, the center pins aren't making good contact. As an...

    mods

    FWIW no one has listed any 'mods', factory made PVs are not mods, they have not been modded/modified or started life as something else and then converted for PV use. Except of course this one mod. Quite cute BTW. :)

    Slightly confused

    Are you sure you have "the CE-4 version"? The real CE4's where made by MiT (the original CE2 makers) and had a bottom horizontal wick and an internal plastic down tube. They real were pretty much junk and were replaced with the CE4+. Here is an original MiT CE4+ next to a Vision eGo...

    Load Testing of Panasonic IMR 18650 2250mAh CGR18650CH In Stock!

    Very nice. Thanks for taking the the time to test and explain. The one size-fits-all approach gets old. It is to be be expected that a true IMR (LiMn2O4) like the AW should be able to maintain higher volts.

    Finally, one to be pretty proud of

    Looks good. Your top cap, is that a 'test cap'?

    What restlistance for regular eGo?

    Resistance is a personal choice, everybody always wants to push new vapers into LR. That can come later. This guy sure seems to like the E1's. So many makers have these now. The E1's are an ESCO product. You could get the standard carto complete assembly and a LR replacement head and see...
