    Do you fiddle with your thingy?

    Billy, I usually fiddle until I get one drop out of the cart. I then pull it out and tilt the tank upside down (so the holes are not surrounded by fluid) and gently blow through the carto with the thread end in a paper towel. This is in case I flooded the carto with my fiddling. Refill the tank...

    Irritating your eyes

    Sometimes I get watery eyes if the a lot of vapor gets in my eyes repeatedly. Then again just about anything dust, smoke, pollen, or the like gets in my eyes.

    Getting ready to order IBTanked- what the heck is this "thingy?" and a few more questions

    Glad I could help. I have a 25mm standard which was my every tank. Then I miss ordered and ended up with 20 XL Smoktechs. So now I'm using my 19mm XL. It seems long too me on my Provari, but it works great so I'm using it. I also have a 19mm standard. I love how it looks on the Provari, but it...

    Getting ready to order IBTanked- what the heck is this "thingy?" and a few more questions

    Yes, you can use your cartos, if you get the standard length tube. Otherwise you'll need XL cartos. The kits come ready to vape. As far as the Thingy goes, it is the container that the tanks ship in. Fiddling with your Thingy is a way to prime your carto. Put in your unprimed carto and fill the...

    How'd You Choose Your ECF Member Name?

    My name is Ed. Many moons ago I was a deckhand on sport fishing boats. I was late for work one day and literally missed the boat. While waiting for it to return and pick me up one of the other captains asked me if my horse had died or my carriage broke down. He said you wear a big flat hat, have...

    Is graduating to advanced vaping ie. bigger tanks, variable voltage batteries, Mods etc...inevitable?

    You definitely you don't have to chase anything or anyone. If you're happy where you're at, be thankful. Me, I was quite happy with my Twists (standard eGo wasn't quite cutting it), but for various reasons upgraded to a Provari. I have no want to buy more mods and I still use my eGo standards...

    Have 510 atomizers, what tank to use?

    Pretty sure he has Atomizers, not cartomizers. OP, you should definitely try a carto tank. Great flavor and great vapor. PLus, once you get past the learning curve of priming your carto, they seem to me to be much less fiddly than a clearo. YOu can get a quality glass tank with stainless end...

    Have 510 atomizers, what tank to use?

    Never heard of a tank for 510 atomizers. They'd flood really quick in a tank.

    PG and VGA Is it better to do all PG?

    I use 30/70 because too much PG gives me a scratchy throat and a head ache. But, some people don't tolerate VG well. You definitely need to try some different mixes for yourself.

    newbie needs an e cigg recommendation

    Medium in size? If so that would probably be an eGo threaded battery. I'd recommend either the Twist or Spinner. Both are variable voltage. I'd put either a Kanger T3 or Vivi Nova on top of it. Both have people that either love them or hate them. I'd get a couple of each and figure out which you...

    What's on your Provari???

    I have 3 IBTanked tanks in rotation. The 19mm looks really nice, but mostly I use the 25mm standard (only have to fill it once a day). They are working on a 22mm to match the Provari's diameter though.

    Confused agian

    I'm curious, since you're obviously not getting enough juice to the coil... What PG/VG ratio are you using? Edit: Beat me to it Steeler Girl.

    2 weeks for a Smoktech, 1 week for Boge.

    glass clearomizers

    Don't forget that if you're using 100% VG you'll probably need 3 holes in your carto. I'm using 3 holes myself. I buy mine with 2 holes and punch the 3rd myself. And/or thin the juice with a SMALL amount of distilled water.

    510 xxl cartomizers

    Stupid question, but did you prime the carto? If it was only a few drops like you stated, that isn't nearly enough. Not sure how much your cartos hold, but I'm guessing you need like 20-30 drops. Drip around the edges (avoid the center tube like the plague) and then let it sit for a few, then...

    how many tokes?

    Your body will let you know by getting a headache and/or nausea. It's going to be hard to poison yourself from vaping. One time I was mixing juice (24mg base) and got some on my hands and didn't wash it off for a while. I got the shakes Like I'd had had too much caffeine. But, it went away...

    a little rough on my throat

    If you don't like throat hit, go with as much VG as possible for the device you're using. Raising the resistance will also lower throat hit (assuming voltage remains the same).

    Ut oh, the importance of backups!

    You do have at least one B&M, Vapor Leaf. Not sure where they are in relation to you though. MY brother has shopped there (I haven't). They have wonky hours, so check their site.
