    SmokTech Telescope is air tight!

    So it's an adjustable pipe bomb, cool :)

    What Voltage is my eGo Running at?

    The twist and Provari might use PWM deep inside but it gets filtered before it gets to the connector so it looks like a smooth DC voltage. A small amount of the high frequency and some error amplifier signal component can be seem on the output, but mostly DC out. The PWM in the switching...

    Why NOT to buy Chinese crapola e-cigs: If you vape low resistance, long and hard, it will die If you vape with a shorted atty or carto, it will die, If you drop it on the sidewalk a few times, it will die, If you short cycle the button to avoid the time out, it will die, If you put it in your...

    Reduce nicotine in juice - how much lower juice to add?

    r7, you know better than to write a formula like that :) why not use mg, ml, mg/ml?

    If there was a best anything no one would buy anything else. Try a smallish bottle from WL. Make your own opinion. That wild NIC from another vendor is all gone and they fixed their game anyway. There's that Quality word again :) As far as Quality, we the DIYer often use clarity, smell, and...

    I have used 151 Rum, Vodka, and Distilled Water, and still get juice all over :) I also get peanut butter and jelly drippings on my keyboard. What can I say, I'm a slob :) A little thinning is probably a good thing though.

    SmokTech Telescope is air tight!

    Very good point even though I didn't listen to your whole video, I jumped around:) I guess the intent of the telescope is to allow single and stacked batteries? Raise a ruckus, we don't need no more pipe bombs.

    Always use mg for mass, ml for volume, and mg/ml for nic strength. otherwise, mix away :)

    NEED HELP WITH NIC............please?

    Lucent, Your previous example was easier for most folks to remember than this last one. I too hate juice calculators. By the time they know which numbers to plug in where, they don't need help :) I have two rules that I follow even if I do it in my head, Rule 1, Always express the...

    Everybody recommends Volt by SI

    Unless the PV uses some type of boosting device or 2 series cells and a bucking device or some other type of voltage modification (like the PWM of the eGo), most use a 4.2 volt Li-ion cell. Bigger cells give more vape time (higher mah) but the full charge, no load voltage is 4.2 volts. A...

    What Voltage is my eGo Running at?

    You're right about the plethora of carto types out there now. I haven't kept up on them so I have no idea which one is what. But I do think it's generally accepted that a PWM eGo (genuine or clone), or the Riva straight through types have a limited live span with 1.5 ohm cartos or with...

    What Voltage is my eGo Running at?

    Many say there are variations in construction quality, some say they are all Chinese crap, but the circuitry is pretty much the same inside. Most I have seen (not that many) even have Joye labeled cells inside them. Even the Rivas I have opened. The same PWM chip and pass the current to the...

    I'll look for some old posts, maybe tomorrow. There were some discussions a year or so ago.

    WTF just happened to my mod?

    If it's a new mod as you said, contact Madvapes. If it's an old mod as you said then troubleshoot before putting a high current IMR cell in it. Did it trip the protection on Trustfire 18650 cells or did they just die after 5 weeks in this mod? Did they both die at about the same time? Did the...

    WTF just happened to my mod?

    Or maybe the WTF, and nunya, ......bidness, and tone of your post has set people off providing you with a reasonable answer. Heck, If I said it was your fault be overtightening the carto and crushing the insulator, you'd probably call me all kinds of names that the forum software would sensor...

    Those 3 are probably enough info to form opinions. More would just be boring. Notice the 100min in the pic title of the last one? That's how long a 900mah eGo lasts me @ 1.6 ohms :) (just past 4 years vaping, a few days shy of 3 years, 7 months totally tobacco free. Bought the scope and a...

    What Voltage is my eGo Running at?

    My views seldom line up with what others think :) I posted a discharge series with the eGo @ 2 ohms, and at 1.6 ohms, but it used up too much of my ECF pic storage space, and generated a lot of discussion (put another smiley here) Videos? YUP, that would add cred. Here's a couple that I left...

    As the cell voltage goes down, the duty cycle goes up. When the loaded cell voltage is about 4.0 volts (first puff on a full charge) the duty cycle will be about 80%. As the cell voltage goes down, the duty cycle goes up. When loaded cell voltage is about 3.6 volts the duty cycle will be over...
