    Stainless Steel Mesh Wick and Kapton?

    That would be an intentional dry burn, or an accidental coil ran dry, dry burn.

    Stainless Steel Mesh Wick and Kapton?

    Kapton is too risky to use. A coil can glow dull red. How hot is that? In a perfect world we HOPE our coils don't get that hot, but they do. Kapton will decompose and it will sustain a flame. Hard to get it to burn, but the decomp products will sustain a flame.

    Mod with Safety issues???

    As long as they use a Standardized Industrial Balloon (SIB) and not a party balloon :) I can see someone objecting to a balloon test. A large low pressure blow out plug would fail balloon test. Small leaks, not vents, may have lubricant or soft sealant in them and would fail a balloon test...

    really getting annoyed, no flavour ego twist

    Subconsciously you are now dissatisfied with the eGo. Even though the adjustable twist could be adjusted to produce the exact same electrical signal as the GreenSmoke, and cartos are available that would mimic the greensmoke cartridge, you will probably never get past the little mental signals...

    ego twist mod?

    The problem is the battery (Li-ion cell) will probably outlive the electronics.

    Ego-T battery exploded

    I ALMOST got all the way through this thread before posting :) I read about Chinese quality, proprietary standards, other reasons that just didn't make any sense at all, from people that probably should find other ways to run their post count up. The ONLY responses that made any sense at all...

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    It is a "Beta" product at a slight price premium. Email John (the owner) to see if it is available. But seeing that you are from Mo., maybe not :) J/K

    ego twist mod?

    But, seriously, the twist would be a good candidate for a mod for those that really don't want to wire up a boost board and pot. The twist comes with an eGo compatible connector. DUH :), a cell with two wires (one red one and one black one) and isn't all that expensive. Would allow you to be a...

    ego twist mod?

    Isn't that similar to what AW does anyway? :D

    is this true?

    And, for those of you that meter your cells, allowing them to 'sag' for a while after charge tells you the terminal voltage of the cell. Even a old crappy cell can come off the charger at 4.20v. But does it stay there?

    ego twist mod?

    How about a 'tabbed' 18650 cell like a Sanyo, LG, or even Tenergy. A tabbed 26650 would just be ridiculous. Eliminates soldering to a bare cell. If you put tape over the label, the eGo board won't know the difference :)

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Why? They have probably already changed their source, or bought or extracted a new batch. If I bought nic from a vendor last year, or 2 years ago, could I buy from them again and expect the same results? I doubt it.

    Mod with Safety issues???

    A vendor would be laughed out of business for showing a balloon test. How about making a statement about just how safe their Mod, PV, APV is. Sort of "Hi, my name is Joe, and my Bla Bla Bla APV is safe because it has this and that". Then people could respond to something other than Oooooo...

    Joyetech 650mah Battery had a serious failure!!!!!!!!!!

    IT never goes over well when you pass the blame for a failure back to the user. Sorry about that. Some things to watch out for is to NEVER over tighten a carto onto an eGo. NEVER. Once, and it's over. Expecially it the outer shell contact of the carto is a little long or the end is a little...

    Joyetech 650mah Battery had a serious failure!!!!!!!!!!

    Seems to be quite a few eGo style PVs are failing with the vivi tanks. Just reading though some of these in this thread is seems the most common failure mode reported is still an overloaded Mosfet switch failing as a short as indicated by 'continuous firing of the carto'. Continuous use...

    Joyetech 650mah Battery had a serious failure!!!!!!!!!!

    With the internal positive and negative crossed wouldn't it just turn on backwards?
