    The flavour concentrate strength can vary a lot with the brand, but 30% still seems very high. If it's working for you though...

    Giggling? You're not giggling are you? I'm sure I can hear someone giggling.

    Are those ready to vape flavours that you are further diluting, or concentrates? 30% of a concentrate sounds like a lot. No problem if you are diluting ready to vape flavours - I like about half the flavour compared to a lot of other people myself.

    For the protank, start at 6 watts - that's the Kanger recommendations. 8 watts will make it fry. I had the feeling the techs was Vamo V3 internally. If so, holding one small button for two seconds will display battery voltage. Holding the other small button will display resistance. ETA...

    I hate to tell you, but they're not tears. Don't worry though, smoking affects me the same way.

    Why do you have to dry your wicks?

    I don't know, but mine come up looking like new, and taste like new too. My process: Wash in boiling water Air dry overnight Dry burn Wash in boiling water Air dry overnight For a dripper you usually have to forego the air drying stages and just blot them as dry as possible. Under no...

    Constant Burnt Taste?

    There can be many reasons, and since you're using a range of clearomisers you're probably running into most of them. I've put all the CE5s and Vivis away and now exclusively use bottom coil devices like the protanks. The most common complaint with these is a burnt taste, and the most common...

    Why do you have to dry your wicks?

    IPA is toxic because it doesn't have the same metabolic by products that alcohol does, and should never be ingested or inhaled. It does evaporate completely however, so is safe for cleaning your PV, circuit boards, and other hard surfaces provided that it is 100% evaporated. I wouldn't use...

    Constant problems with clearomizers, could it be old batteries?

    That's odd then, because I can't imagine getting even a month out of a coil with heavy use. I generally use one device with an ADV in it most of the time, about 3 - 5 ml per day. Two weeks is pretty normal for a head for me, and at that I consider it to have done reasonably well. I guess if...

    Pretty impressive service from Altsmoke. I't a bit hard to see how threads could swell, because they are metal. Really weird. Please let us know if they find anything out. You are tech savvy, so hard to see how it's your fault as well. Possibly does just leave the fasttech charger. I was...

    Constant problems with clearomizers, could it be old batteries?

    Two to three weeks is normal for a disposable clearomiser, which is what the CE4/stardust is. You could try a CE5 which has a replacable head and they are generally better quality. A disposable that last 4-6 months in constant use is unthinkable, and even if you only use it in rotation is well...

    It depends on the flavour concentrate. Some you can't go over 2%, some need 15%, some people like lots of flavour and add 20% of some things. The trick is to add a little bit and try it. Once you start you will get a better idea. A common mistake in the beginning is to add a lot of flavour...

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    If you don't get that sorted you should open your own thread about the problem or just do a search, however see if this blog doesn't answer some questions about how keep from burning the protank heads: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/fabricator4/5045-bottom-coil-clearomizers.html

    Yep, some days are like that. Do you own a multimeter? It's the first step to trouble shooting most of these things. Check the output reading on the Ego charger - should be 4.2V to 4.25 volts, or thereabouts. Check the 18350 when supposedly fully charged. If it's 4.2 volts and it dies...

    Hopefully they are a bit more enlightened, but don't hold your breath. Vets in America, and to some extent here in Australia, get a lot of there nutrition information from the pet food companies. Mainly about how their food supplies all the nutrition required by the animal. Over here you...

    A very common misconception I'm afraid. Just like cats, dogs have *no* teeth in their mouths like grinding molars that are suitable for processing common carbohydrates such as root vegetables. Give a hungry dog an apple and he's just as likely to think you're insane. Long association with...
