    Why does the eGo-C get such a bad rap on this site?

    I actually like the KGO batteries a little more than the eGo batteries. They seem to last longer on a single charge and deliver a little bit more power. I would suggest purchasing a single cone and base, along with an atomizer and pack of cartridges. americaneliquidstore.com sells them- not...

    Why does the eGo-C get such a bad rap on this site?

    Really, it boggles the mind. I've been using mine for nearly two months without issue. Had to replace one atomizer, I'm still rotating the original cartridge tanks, have had no issues with the batteries, and no leaking issues. When I'm bored I toss the thing in the air and catch it. I own...

    New Vaper

    I have the eGo-C model and love it, as do many others. The eGo-T was its predecessor and have read of many leaking issues. A tanked system as you put it is simply a cartomizer with a hole punched in it, and surrounded by a plastic, pyrex, or glass tank to hold liquid. For an eGo size battery...

    Joyetech Ego C, 4 months in

    Fantastic!! The eGo-C is my favorite regular use vape of all so far too- and I've tried lots of different gadgets! Vapor production is awesome, and the taste comes through much better than on any cartomizer I've tried. I too have not experienced any leaking issues. I've found the silicon...

    Good recipe(s) for a beginner?

    Damn- my VZ order says it was delivered today along with two others (MFS and ECE) - but looks like the mailman screwed up again, got the MFS and ECE orders, but VZ is not in the mailbox, gotta love the USPS... I wish more vendors had options for UPS or FedEx shipping! Hopefully in the hands...

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    I put in an order yesterday for TOB506, the 507 (Captain Black) sounds like it would be worth a try. I figured the 507 would have a bit more "spice" to it. Can anyone explain the difference? Any other seedman's worth having in stock? :)

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    One thing that would be nice to approximate is the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigarettes- I think even non-smokers have to appreciate that sweet smell of fresh tobacco. Though, I wonder how much of that is flavor additive when it comes to mass produced analogs... I've yet to find an...

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    True, and good point! Definitely not looking to put together the taste of real cigarette combustion- in fact, only ~7 weeks in and I can tell you I despise both the taste and smell of burning cigarettes. However, my favorite blends so far (and I've gone crazy trying tons of different flavors...

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    I do have Ethyl Maltol, and a couple different cotton candy flavors. My third mix is my first attempt at discovering what TA tastes like. I added 2 drops TA and 3 drops DIYFS cotton candy to a 5ml 60/40 mixture at 18mg. Before continuing, I'll try to find the link you just mentioned and dilute...

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    Thanks! I think I'm on the right track then, but was unaware that most people used it as a secondary additive - looks like mix #3 will require some additional work! :)

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    Thanks for your input, everyone! Very much appreciated! How is your TA diluted? Are you adding 4 drops of 50/50 (TA/PGA) to your e-liquid mixture? Or, are you diluting down even more from 50/50 before adding to your e-liquid? I guess that's my basic question- should I store a separate bottle...

    Yet another Tobacco Absolute question..

    Hi all, I've been trying to research how to properly dilute TA. I purchased this: http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-supplies-diy-kits-c-43_46/diy-starter-kit-no-nicotine-menthol-crystals-p-988 It comes with "6ml of Tobacco Absolute (Diluted 50% in Pure Grain Alcohol)" though the label reads...

    who says that VMOD XL is the best bottom feeder on the earth ?

    I like everything about the VMod XL I have, except for how airy the vape is. I've re-set the O-rings, tightened everything as good as they'll get, have used a variety of different atomizers including the two that came with the set - so far, no good. Way too airy too inhale and totally kills TH...

    Question- would this mixture make a concentrate for DIY, or something one would vape straight?

    Good recipe(s) for a beginner?

    Perfect! I do have ethyl maltol crystals, so will give that a shot on my second test batch here :) Question- I see that PGA is often used to dilute, would you consider PGA a must for DIY? If so, would everclear work, or a strong Vodka instead?

    Good recipe(s) for a beginner?

    Thank you for the tobacco suggestions! The tobacco flavors I have right now are TA and 3 Tobacco flavors from TFA (standard, premium, and blend) and D HILL from Tobacco Express. It looks like Seedman's is also very popular, so looking into that and will definitely check out Latakia and other...

    Good recipe(s) for a beginner?

    So, last week I went a little crazy and picked up quite a few (like 60+!) small bottles from various vendors of DIY yourself flavors, including TFA, LA, FA, DIY, FW, CAP and PA flavors. I've just mixed my first batch- my attempt at a simple RY4 with a little tobacco, vanilla, caramel and a...

    Boba's Bounty in a Clearomizer.. will it work?

    Not sure where to post this.. I picked up a few CE4 clearomizers from myfreedomsmokes, and a couple eGo Vision clearomizers from ecigexpress. Since I've had issues with Boba's in pretty much everything other than direct dripping, I was wondering before I tried it if anyone else has had any...
