    Is Itaste MVP2.0 a good upgrade?

    The MVP 2 is a great upgrade from egos. It's likely to be the most bang for your buck, and you'll get a ton of use from it. Mine came very handy when I was teaching myself how to build coils, even after I upgraded to a Provari. I used it as a base to mount the coil on the atomizer, then...

    Fixing an X6

    How long have you had it? Most vendors don't provide replacements for ego type batteries unless they're dead on arrival. Do you know the resistance of the topper your friend tried to use it with? Did it fire it at all? If the resistance of the coil was a standard resistance, it shouldn't...

    ecigs/ vaping "just as bad for you"

    My doctor was very supportive of my switching to vaping. He even took a pic of my set up for other patients. He's had a few who failed with set ups similar to Blu. My mother is a nurse, and after watching my grandmother die of lung cancer that spread to her brain she purchased a cheap, ego...

    Rda intro

    Igo's are great from what I hear around the boards. Especially if someone prefers a cheaper, original topper over a clone as they're learning. There are great clones out there as well though. It all depends on your budget and your preferences on orginals vs clones. There are some features on...

    What a hassle!

    There's a lot to learn when you first start! I know it can seem overwhelming, especially if you aren't tech savvy to start with. There is also a feeling in certain forums and groups that tend to make newcomers feel unwelcome. I haven't seen it much here though, so I tend to stick to this...

    when did you get into mechanical mods?

    About 7 months in. At my 6 month anniversary, I invested in a Provari and a couple of rebuildable toppers in different styles. A genesis style tank, a dripper, and a Kayfun style tank. Once I figured out that the Kayfun was best for me, and that I was able to build a decent coil, I started...

    Gold provari tank?

    Plus 1 for IBTanked! Cartotanks always gave me less issues and better flavor then clearos, although I hear that the Aspire Mini Nautilus has combined the best of both worlds. The coils for the Mini Nautilus are supposedly similar to a cartomizer, but the clearo is easier to fill then a...

    Ready to make a vape purchase

    Kayfun style toppers are my favorite toppers. Easy to build, great flavor, little to no leaking.... I also like the Erlkonigin, which is another spin of a Kayfun style tank. It's lighter, can hold 6 ml, and you can choose between glass, plastic, or steel tanks in varying diameters. IBTanked...

    It's up to the business owner, and should remain up to the business owner.

    very upset over paypal

    What's worse is that they pick and choose who to do this to it seems. You never know which purchase that they'll suspend your account for. So far, I've been lucky. They seem to ignore this policy for the most part. Every once in a while though, both Ebay and Paypal will bring down the hammer...

    kanger=anger!

    I moved on from clearos fairly quickly. They've always been troublesome to me. Either something was leaking, or it was gurgling, or it was burnt out. The issues would pop up at the wrong time too. I have a two hour commute, and I don't have the time to do much troubleshooting on the road...

    Five Pawns

    I prefer their mixology line over their signature line. Hubby and I love Lucena, and I like Gambit enough to buy some more.

    New Shop in my area and need advice

    There's one shop I like just because the owner is great to talk to. They are pricey, but I make a point to buy juice there when I can, and it's the most comfy to hang out in. It's roomy, has a pool table, and a great tasting section. The owner has an open mind, and whenever I have something new...

    Which mechanical mod has the best switch?

    Really? I can understand Qorax. My god, I've spent some money based on his pictorials. Me though.... I'm such a newb to all of this. The Erl is a great buy though. It's such a looker, and so much lighter then a Kayfun. Hmm... Maybe is should be looking for a 21 mm mod with a blasted finish so I...

    Do they ever make Regulated Mods as nice as Mechanical?

    Not sure if they're still in stock, but go over to vapervenue and check out the Lernaia Hydra and Zorbas. Normally a $300 set up, but being sold at 150. It's a mechanical mod with an attachment to turn any mech mod into a 22 watt, regulated device. No screen, and you have to count a blinking...

    clone vs Authentic: The Real Discussion

    Made in the USA doesn't mean much to me, personally, in regards to quality. Perhaps it's my engineer father, and being on jobs with him. He's from another country, and while he won't buy much from his country of origin due to lack of quality there (Tiawan), he'll almost always buy things made...

    New Shop in my area and need advice

    I don't test anyone. I also don't really make note of mark ups unless they're shockingly high and stand out to me as a result. If they make me comfortable, aren't telling lies, and not selling mechs and rebuildables to newbs, I'm happy. Also, if they aren't selling clones and telling people...

    Yet again: USPS frustration!

    There's not much that can be done. I'm in NYC, and USPS has been screwing up deliveries for all of my clients as well. Packages get delivered to the wrong floor. Sometimes to the wrong address. Other times they don't get delivered, but tracking says it has been. This last one is the worst...

    What would you do?

    How old is your roommate? Sounds pretty immature to me. I'd start looking for another roomie. Even if he thinks that vapor is just as bad for someone as second hand smoke, there's still a huge difference in the time it takes to dissipate, and the smell. He's got to know that. If the...

    The Manhattan Magnet

    I meant a mod, not a clone! Ive been reading threads on clones all day, and my fingers just typed out clone!
