    Congratulations on giving up smoking and welcome to ECF. A more efficient delivery system (RDA) works much better and it's not unusual to find you have to reduce the nicotine in your liquids.

    little help with my e cig.

    Unfortunately there's nothing you can do to cigalike batteries that would make them work like a mod, and if you did it would further shorten their already short battery life. There are some systems like the 510 that work better: Joye 510-T Starter Kit (for illustration only, not a company...

    Comment by 'fabricator4' in 'Bottom Coil Clearomizers'

    Yes, when they are cold the performance is not as good. You can get around this by turning them up slightly, or taking longer puffs, however you must remember to adjust it back after one or two puffs otherwise you are in burn city again!

    Is " Start Simple" Really a Good Option for Noobs?

    Yes, there is. We see a lot of people come for advice that don't know a volt from a Vol-au-vent‎. To get a consistent vape from a regulated mod you do need to understand how it's all supposed to work. At least with a starter kit you get a fixed voltage battery and heads that are the right...

    Ha, I found the GIF you were trying to link to. That looks more like operator error to me - as in failing to apply the seven P's principle to kitchen knives. 7 P's ==== Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance

    HELP! -- Protank 2 Burnt Taste issues!

    I don't know what's going on here, since 3.5 watts should not be burning anything, in fact it shouldn't even be making very much vapour. You should probably go back the last thing that worked for you, however you are definitely going to need to buy heads for whatever system that is. Put the...

    HELP! -- Protank 2 Burnt Taste issues!

    No one here is going to tell you that heads last a minimum of 3 weeks. One to two weeks is usual, depending on juice and avoiding running them too hot (burning). That sounds like something you could only read on a vendors website.

    6 month vapping B-day today

    That's only because a variable voltage (vv) device will let you optimise your vape for whatevr device you have on it and the type of juice that you are using. A more expensive won't do anything you can't do already with your twist, though it might make it easier. If I somehow lost all my APVs...

    Protank pooted out dark stuff into liquid at almost full

    Yes! I wish I had all the Protanks that people tried and burnt and don't use any more. I'd be able to set up all the smokers I come across up with a really good PV. The "my Protank is burning" threads seem to come in batches - I even did a blog because it was getting a bit monotonous...

    Opinions please..

    I used Vivi Novas before Protanks were all the rage. I tried a VapeOnly Mega BCC and the Protank and I have not put a drop of juice in my Vivis since then. I've Paid most of them forward at this point, just keeping a few in case of emergencies, however it's pretty redundant at this point...

    Not a fan of fruity vaping help

    I'm actually reading that you are also a bit cheesed off with tobacco flavours here. It happened to me a couple of months after starting to vape, which was nasty because I couldn't find a fruit flavour that I liked at all. I solved my issue at the time by mixing my own mild tobacco flavour...

    Protank pooted out dark stuff into liquid at almost full

    Usually, as the wick gets a buildup of burnt juice on it, that will backwash into clearo. You may not notice how dark it has become until you top the tank up with fresh juice. The dark stuff doesn't mix with the new liquid straight away, so you'll often see two distinct colours in there until...

    HELP! -- Protank 2 Burnt Taste issues!

    If you've turned the twist up over 3.3 volts then that would explain the burning on a 1.8 ohm coil. If you have a look at the card that comes with the Protank, Kanger gives recommendations for voltage to ohm that equates to about 6 to 6.5 watts. I'd change the head out if it's badly burnt...

    HELP! -- Protank 2 Burnt Taste issues!

    Which Vamo? Vamo 2? or Vamo 5? If so it has two modes, RMS and AVG. The vamo board defaults to AVG mode if it has it. On the Vamo 2 hold one of the change buttons down until it says "No 2" and you are in RMS mode. A setting of 6 watts AVG is about the same as 7.5 - 8 watts RMS (over one...

    I gotta stay away from...

    My S/S V2 has been going fine for 7 months. I'm (trying to be) gentle with the 510 threads but it's been dropped so many times onto hard surfaces it's starting to look a little battle scarred, but you have to look closely to see the damage. I guess I'm just lucky it hasn't landed on the...

    Brand New to All This, Any Suggestions Would be Wonderful :)

    Yes, a 2.5 ohm head should be fine. It sounds like a wicking problem with that particular head. Unfortunately not all heads work the same. You can try swapping it out to see if that helps but the first thing I would try in this case is to put the rubber cap on the head on upside down. This...

    Brand New to All This, Any Suggestions Would be Wonderful :)

    Actually either the Evod or T3S is what I would recommend to go on your ego battery. I think you're almost there but the resistance on the coil may not be ideal for the Ego battery. Do you know what resistance head is in there at the moment? You need to try a higher resistance head, and I...

    30ml in 6 days :(

    Yaeliq Watermelon is $18 for 100ml, $10 flat rate shipping or free for orders over $90. They used to be cheaper but I think they were doing their ..... I note the watermelon has Koolada, which is probably what makes the melon yeti a Yeti. You could bump that up if you want. I haven't used...

    Clearomisers? No taste ...

    That's correct, the higher number is not necessarily "better". It's more important to get the correct resistance for the voltage your battery is putting out. In this case I'd recommend the 1.8 ohm coils on a 3.3 volt device. Yes, I know it's a steep learning curve. I had a huge advantage in...

    Brand New Protank II Rusting

    Yes, that's a high quality and versatile RBA (Rebuildable Atomiser) that is very versatile and can also be used as an RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser) if you wish. It's on the more expensive side of things but is a very good device. If you're not sure there are much cheaper RDA's and RBA's...
