    Battery Voltages -- Surprise!

    I tried it with a 2 ohm atty and a 1.5 ohm DCC, 1.7 ohm SCC, 2.6 ohm SCC. Yes, you have to consider amp limit when you pick a resistance. If Jan's carto was 1.3 ohms, that is probably too low for the eGo Twist, or the regular eGo, and is pushing the 'reliability envelope' just a little. 2...

    Battery Voltages -- Surprise!

    Not really that surprising given the 2.5 amp limit (about 2.65 amps per SteelJan). The 2.6 ohm carto never made it up to 2.5 amps, and the 1.2 to 1.5 (?) ohm hit the current limit early at about 3.4 volts. Looks like her LR carto was 1.3 ohm when hot. (A common problem with 1.5 ohm cartos at...

    Battery Voltages -- Surprise!

    I kept an evaluation unit (650mah eGo-Twist) for about a week before passing it on to another. I have since ordered a couple 1000mah Twists, one for the wife and one to take apart (oh boy, oh boy :)) At a voltage setting close to cell native voltage (3.6 to 3.7 volts) the charge life...

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

    Actually I was asking about Propylene Glycol made from vegetable sourced Glycerin instead of being oxidized in a petrochemical plant. Just like some folks don't like Glycerin made from synthetic chemicals, but from vegetable matter like corn oil, palm oil, coconut oil, soy bean oil. The...

    twist contact persistent problem.

    I think it will also flash if overloaded and immediately cut power to the carto.

    twist contact persistent problem.

    Oh yea, that's how I meant to say it :) Does it flash at you when you try to vape? Flashing is another issue.

    Flashing? You may have killed your twist by effin with the center pin.

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

    I agree with you on the synthetic VG. All the experts say it's the same molecule, But I for one can tell the difference. Randy, Have you looked into the PG that is starting to show up made from vegetable sources instead of petrochemical sources?

    Nicotine Comparisons

    When you look at some of our favorite Nic distributors, RTS, WL, MFS and see that they also supply other smaller vendors with NIC, it going to hard to actually know where your nic came from, unless you buy from one of the bigger guys. Besides, what happens when it is re-bottled and handled over...

    PG/VG name brand vs. brand "x"

    Actually, I've found that buying a gallon results in a lower water content from all the repackaging. You can check the specific gravity to get a pretty good guess on how much water the VG or PG has absorbed from the air during processing. A little absorbed water won't hurt anything but might...

    PG/VG name brand vs. brand "x"

    I've bought from this place: http://www.essentialdepot.com/servlet/the-107/Glycerin-Vegetable-KOSHER-USP/Detail or this special ($53, shipped for 1 gal VG and 1 gal PG): http://www.essentialdepot.com/servlet/the-218/1-Gallon-Veg-Glycerin/Detail I've never tried RTS VG but I'm sure it's good...

    odd safety question

    Not to go against the advice of the RatShack guy :) but current is heating the spring. More current than anticipated. Look at the center pin of the mod connector and the end of the carto. Some 510 connectors have a larger diameter center pin that can contact the carto shell. Any nicks or...

    Is it more about the voltage or the mod?

    Bigger and shiny :)

    Isn't it a little depressing to get to the point you don't have to cut everything open just to see how it works :)

    ego twist firing issue

    What is carto resistance and voltage setting? There is a limit to what you can draw from this thing.

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Cyrus, any leads on the original source for your 7 different nics? How many different nics did you actually compare? And do those vendors still buy from the same source? Things change from time to time.
