    Battery life question.

    This would ALMOST be classed as OCD :) Spare battery, spare mods, spare cartos, spare chargers, spare juice. Don't get caught with a holiday or postal strike and not be able to get supplies.

    Anyone have this happen to them? (pics)

    The ego style batteries, especially the 'Long' ones can come apart like that if you have them in a back pocket and sit on them. That would be 'Your Fault'. The nose piece on the eGo should be firmly pressed in to prevent it coming out if there were an internal cell failure. It should be...

    Cigarette taxes devastating to lower income people

    I've run across people that can't round up enough to start vaping ($10 disposables aren't really an economical method) but will still drive up to the quick stop to get a pack or two of cigarettes. Those are probably the same ones that would buy 2 six packs of beer instead of one if...

    Battery Explosion

    To the OP of this thread. Can you now tell the difference between a 'protected Li-ion cell' and an 'unprotected' Li-ion cell? 4 types of Li-ion 3.7 volt 18650s are available, unprotected Li-ion, IMR, Li-ion Hybrid, and protected Li-ion. There are advantages/disadvantages for each...

    Is PG different thickness from different vendors?

    Fresher? as apposed to stale? I think the best thing to do would be to contact the vendors you have ordered from and talk to them. PG does absorb water from the air but I doubt 1 or 2% water content would be noticeable without doing some type of viscosity test or weighing for density...

    Connecting resistance to NR

    In the lab, we had a big variac to run equipment through the max and min input voltage to check performance. I think it was rated at a kilowatt. Way more bigger than necessary. A 1.5 inch pipe cap as the ground conductor for the carbon powder 'electrode' could be just about any conductive...

    Connecting resistance to NR

    Yup, that's what we used :)

    Connecting resistance to NR

    I can't find a link and I think most places that work with thermocouples use a computerized spot welder now. Maybe a little better explanation would work (I'll use a dual alloy thermocouple as an example). The Carbon pot: We used a 1.5 inch threaded pipe cap, just because :) Drilled and...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I found that tobacco flavors seem to amplify any nic taste.

    Alternating Current, the next evolution in Vaping?

    Could be a way to 'self heal' a burned out coil :) oh, and a late edit: anyone have any idea what the arc temperature would be? like maybe even hotter than a burning cigarette?

    Alternating Current, the next evolution in Vaping?

    I'm not terrible convinced in your logic. AC arc welding might be useful in clearing contaminants but unless you get the arc going it doesn't really do anything. Other than heat. The uniform power distribution in a DC circuit is easily seen in automotive lights. One end of the filament looks...

    ego twist mod?

    Well, I refuse to fall in line with everyone else. I change my mind, It won't work :)

    We just figured you would and you weren't here :)

    ego twist mod?

    Because some of the "modders" here need a "picture schematic" to figure out how to hook up a Mad Vapes box mod kit. Not everyone can design a VV mod from components. Scan the "modders forum" and look for posts explaining how to hook up an LED. Or the difference between series and parallel...

    Mod with Safety issues???

    If people are concerned about PV safety, then why in the heck do PVs sell like hotcakes that take a pair of LiPO4 16mm cells? Why not just use a Box mod with an IMR. What's safer that that? How about a box mod with a 4000mah IMR cell. If a tube mod can't take stacked batteries, people...

    Mod with Safety issues???

    OK, so as far as a mechanical mods goes, what is better or worse than this PV in it's initial release or vented version? And why? Is the GG with bottom vents better? It costs more. Is the Silver Bullet, made with an electrical switch (with stack battery extension tubes) better? It has a 'Hotty...
