    Battery question.

    Would that actually matter? I remember having a camera that took regular AA 1.5 V batteries, and I'm pretty sure I used multiple types of batteries in the generic charger I bought. Can't remember if any of them were nimh, though. Probably not. But I do remember that lithium was so superior to...

    Battery question.

    Loose connection in the charger? Or (this might be playing with heat at least) something draining the batteries while in the charger, probably also a loose connection? (I say playing with heat because this something draining the batts *might* be close to a short circuit.)

    Can my blue ac adapter work for ego batteires? Voltage help here

    Eh? If this is just the mains adapter (between wall socket and USB-adapter) the reverse polarity shouldn't matter at all. That would be taken care of by the USB=> PV charger. Otherwise different polarities would need different USB-ports, wouldn't they? (Or is this Blu (whatever it is) so...

    Can any car charger with USB charge my eGo battery?

    Is this a car charger or a mains charger? I'm asking because I too have a Moto, and I've been very tempted to plug my eGo chargers (one normal 510-thread, 4.2V, 420mA, one passthrough) into the Motorola mains adapter, but it is labeled 850mA whereas the mains-USB adapter I got with my eGo kit...

    Distilled water to VG

    Heat! That's what I keep reading about, and promptly forgetting when I get my gear out. 14 gauge needle, huh? I feel another visit to my lovely neighbourhood pharmacy is warranted... (They are really lovely and helpful, and I'm always asking them the weirdest questions.) Looking at gauge to mm...

    Distilled water to VG

    I'm new at this, and have mostly been mixing 70/30 PG/VG so far. And adding a few drops of PGA to the VG (maybe 5-10 % of total VG, so 1-3% of total solution). I find undiluted VG really difficult to work. It requires lots of shaking to get it to mix, and it clogs syringes (not to mention...

    DIY juice that melts/breaks plastic?

    So vaping juices like these is best done in a cartomizer and with a metal drip tip, right?

    Atomizer question >>

    I would also be interested in viewpoints on the OP's questions - especially the implied question of WHY de-bridge and/or de-wick? (I've tried googling this question but haven't really found anything beyond "it's better", I want to know *why* and in what way it is better!) I am myself finally...

    Mixing in flavors - Anyone try this?

    Hi, I'm a newbie, but I see some problems with this approach: IMO different flavours interact with the nic content and the PG/VG ratio in different ways. I started out with just pre-made no-nic juices. The difference to the taste when I just added nic to them was incredible. I also...

    Post Your DIY Tobacco Recipies Here Please

    Indeed. I am still smoking (about half of what I used to), and haven't really found my perfect vape yet. But I am sure that if I am ever to totally stop inhaling combustion products, I need to get my hands on some WTA to add to my liquid. And even more than that, if I will ever be able to...

    How long to charge a new 1000mAh Joye Ego-T passthrough battery on usb?

    Hi, I also just got myself a nice 900 mAh pass-through battery, so this thread was exactly what I was looking for. But I have a few additional questions: Firstly a "duh!, of course!", but I want to make sure: I can charge my pass through 900mAh on my threaded charger, just like a charge my...

    Impatient newbie vaper didn't follow any advice before jumping in...

    Ouch! Thanks, cigarbabe. Now THAT is a very good reason.:D Foul taste, don't want that. Guess I will have to add some more 96% alcohol to the shopping list (it isn't available freely in my country, but luckily close by).

    Anyone have a 100% VG Menthol Recipe?

    Not knowing anything when I got my package of goodies, and being too impatient to look up every little thing, the first thing I did was fill a 10ml bottle with 96%, aka PGA, and drop a big menthol crystal in it. Gave it a shake and forgot about it for a few hours. When I looked at it again it...

    I understand the idea, but it would be nice to know something more detailed. I mean we are talking about *cleaning* here, not something to add to one's vaping liquid. I eat and drink out of glasses and bowls that have been through the dishwasher, and dishwashing powder/tablets/whatever is...

    Thanks, Lyndagayle - I actually have already bought a small bottle of Bitter Wizard, just haven't tried it yet. Landscaper, I'll be very very interested to read what you come up with! Though extremely new to vaping I've already discovered that I like my tastes verrry subtle. I'm guessing you...

    How long do you allow them to dry? Or does a little water not really matter? (Come to think of it, why should it...)

    Impatient newbie vaper didn't follow any advice before jumping in...

    Thanks, good to know. Can I ask why? Is it because Isopropyl for disinfection isn't quite pure (mine certainly isn't), and could leave residue affecting taste? Or is it corrosive in some way? Or what? (I just happen to have loads of it, while my supply of 96% is a bit limited when it comes to...

    Taintedhalo, I know what you mean about cutting your smoking in half - that's exactly what happened to me. And I didn't even try! Oh, I'm so impatient for my additional vaping gear to get here - I just checked and my package from the UK is on its way, but hasn't yet reached Finland...

    Yes, Ego-tank atty. And I also have a 510-T atty. The latter I have been experimenting with a bit (it was fabulous at first, but within a few days I think it got burnt a bit or something), and dripping into it without removing the spike sort of works, but does leak quite a bit (I'm probably...

    ... but curiously enough, it seems that for me my instinct was right and the advice was wrong :blink: Especially the advice about vaping for a few months before trying DIY - not me! For various reasons the decision to try an e-cig and the decision to make my own liquid were simultaneous: - No...
