    Cartomizer--wow

    Hmm, sweet looking adapter. That's irritating about the no 510 batt -> Leo atty connector though; I only have one Leo battery whereas I've got 5 510 devices sitting here. I worry about the battery dying on me, mine's old enough (secondhand Leo) that it's sealed but no passthrough. I was able...

    Couple of questions, Please chime in

    I love that the draw hole on the cartos is so small, but the mouthpiece itself is so wide. Feels comfy to puff on and less chance of crud getting in there than with a honking big drip tip. I don't see how people are getting like 2 days worth of use out of them between fills, I can vape it to...

    Couple of questions, Please chime in

    We need a Canadian equivalent of madvapes so you don't have to wait 2 weeks to get your stuff... you could ask to buy dead batteries in the for sale section, lots of Americans are doing that with some success. An old dead 510 battery would fit in a letter envelope. or if a supplier has a...

    Couple of questions, Please chime in

    If you want to try a non-mainstream one, check out the Boge Leo.. just got some 4ml cartos for it. It puts out fierce amounts of vapour; tastes great and I'm finding I need a lot fewer pulls on it than I do with the eGo-T. It's about the size of a fancy pen or one of those old guy stogies...

    Would you be able to post a cell phone pic of what you received? That might help identify where things are going wrong. If you click the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the message posting window, it should let you upload an image as an attachment.

    Cartomizer--wow

    Wouldn't you know it, I got a leak 5 minutes after posting about the rubber eGo-T cap. I put a #33 wirenut full of paper towel on the thread end of the carto instead, that seemed to work better. Jumping on the bandwagon; these cartos are _insanely_ good!! If this is how they normally perform...

    Happy Vaper would be the fastest for you, I'd think. They're at Happy Vaper - Canada Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid, DIY Concentrated Flavorings!. I'm not sure what you mean by the cover? The atty on an eGo is the cone-shaped bit from the silver band in the centre upwards - eGo carts will...

    Cartomizer--wow

    I am in the middle of filling my first carto while reading this thread for tips; I'm using an eGo-t tank cap over the end of the Leo cart's threads so it doesn't blow juice all over my desk. Seems to be working OK so far..

    How much have you spent on vaping so far?

    I'm probably a few hundred bucks in the hole still, compared with my banner's stated savings. New stuff keeps coming out and I just gotta try it... got a box of Leo cartos here I have to figure out how to fill, and wood's recommendation of the Bloog has me considering trying one out now.... too...

    Health Canada article I stumbled upon

    It stings the heck out of the back of your mouth, and I found I chewed the inhaler so much that I needed a new one after a week - and you can't buy just the mouthpiece, it's a whole new kit you have to get! Ever wonder if the nicotine capsule was "done" and open the thing to check, and then get...

    lr cartomizers, what to do?!

    Same here, about the Bloog cartos - almost looking forward to running out of DIY stuff so I'll have a reason to order some from Happy Vaper to try out. Boge LR cartos can be had from Happy Vaper or Electrovapors: Happy Vaper: Blank (empty) cartomizers (cartridge + atomizer combined into a...

    lr cartomizers, what to do?!

    The cone is good for tightening up the draw on cartos/510 attys, if you find you're getting too much air the cone will restrict it a bit and alter the flavour yet again.

    Still on the Am I getting enough nicotene?

    Interesting ... do you find it helps you feel like "I finally got enough"? Sometimes lately I've not been able to find the "I've had enough" sweet spot and end up chain-vaping that day, going out looking for the "enough".

    Still on the Am I getting enough nicotene?

    36mg!! Never tried vaping that direct, how is it treating you? Highest I've been is 28 after I fell off the wagon a while ago. What benefits have you noticed by going up to 36?

    I buy from outside Canada when it's something that I can't get here - a screaming good deal (sometimes there are really cheap mods for sale in the US classifieds), Boge LR cartos (during the time when Electrovapors delisted them and before Happy Vaper carried them, I ran out and was very antsy...

    jumping on the bloog train

    I've dropped my Phidias a few times but I wouldn't recommend it. The REO Woodvil (however its spelled) is carved out of one piece of wood and the cover kind of dovetails into the main body. I like the GGTS for sturdiness but I'm not using the AVS on it, it's basically a carto holder that I...

    jumping on the bloog train

    Have you seen the 4ml LEO cartos that Electro-Vapors is selling? I love the regular Boge LR cartos, couldn't believe there's a 4ml Boge product out there. Bought 5 of them / keeping an eye out for the postman...

    DIY supplies lower mainland

    I don't have a build-your-own atty so I'm not sure, but SMI Industrial Electronics would be where I'd start - Katz123 built an awesome mod with parts from them, and they will special order weird parts (like those tiny tiny Torx screwdrivers you need to take a cell phone apart). Their yellow...

    Best way to store juice?

    Could you let us know if you find something suitable at Michael's? Every jar that looked like a likely candidate had some kind of oil or paint or other icky thing in it. If you order supplies from Happy Vaper, these things are great - 30ml Amber Glass Dropper Bottle for DIY eliquid They've...
