    determing if there is nic

    To test this requires a lab. way not worth it for your purposes. or use this: http://www.testcountry.com/categories.html?cat=132 not sure, but i bet if you dropped straight e-juice with nic on there it would be positive. If you want to be absolutely sure (and with a yellow tinge i would be...

    Fed up with deffective attys

    I've bought 50 from puresmoker. only one dud out of 30 used so far (not all by me.. i gift them in batches to soon to be ex smokers). I get about 2 or 3 months out of them minimum. If it isn't producing clouds of vapor, I get no satisfaction from it. Prior to that I bought my atomizers from...

    I give up on cartomisers

    Same, I bought a couple batteries and 50 cartos. Went through a dozen of them, played with cleaning them. It seems like a good idea, but it just cant touch dripping. If I have to be in a place where I can't keep a small bottle of liquid, I might grab a carto with an adaptor, but i dont forsee...

    which menthol

    I just make my own with 100% menthol crystals. Put a couple medium sized crystals in a 30ml bottle of pg. place bottle in a cup of hot water (not boiled, just hot from the tap). They dissolve into the pg. Add more or less to taste. Mix with tobacco flavor. Its like 3 bucks for several hundred...

    How many extras do you keep in your back-up supply?

    My go to device at the moment is a couple eGo batteries I cycle through. I have a backup Chuck with four 18650 batteries. I keep a minimum of 10 atomizers on hand, when I get that low I will grab 25 more and have 200ml of unflavored 48mg pg in completely topped off amber bottles along with...

    Melting 510 Cartridges?

    Yep. That'll happen. When I was using cartridges I would trim the edges a few mm. That wont work if you have filler in there though. I went straight dripping and the drip tips dont go so far down so dont burn. In your case I suspect it is the 5v that is cooking the plastic.

    [Ask]How to make more Vapour?

    For coffee flavor I've tried a bunch and swear by Lorann Keoke Coffee. My recipe is easy. for 5ml: 4 to 9 drops of keoke. Thats it! :D I use a standard size dropper for a 30ml glass bottle. Not sure the actual volume unfortunately, so start it low and modify to taste. Four gives a nice...

    Joye Ego Fakes?

    Awww and here I thought I got a joye :( Is this not legit? Nicotine Nirvana - Joye eGo Dual E-Cig Kit $74.99 Free Shipping! If it works, it works, so I'm not overly sad. I do try to steer clear of knockoffs as I am overly paranoid of battery explosions in cheaper builds.

    noobie with a few questions

    I use refill liquids exclusively. No cartridges or cartomizers. I go through an atomizer roughly once every six weeks. Had one last 4 months, my dad had one go eight months. Sometimes they only last a week or pop after a few minutes. Build quality seems to vary somewhat. A good rule of thumb is...

    Ego Batteries lasting only 2-3 hrs charged--Batteries bad or charger problem?

    Firstly, get an extension cable for your usb. Any should do. Secondly, as an avid traveler I highly recommend an 18650 device. The smaller sets are decent enough for short outings or on the town, but when i need something to be reliable, i charge up the monster and bring a backup battery also...

    Frustrated with Carts going Direct Drip!!

    Same situation here. Carts, cartos.. nothing as good as dripping. I use three or four drops usually. It lasts 15 or 20 Hits. I never really count, and vary from short to long hits. Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

    Heaven Gifts prefilled carts and other ?'s

    I've only ever been satisfied using the 901 orange colored prefilled carts from heavengifts on my 510. I drip now, but when i buy for my dad this is what i get. ive tried others for him and he didnt like them as much as the orange 901 marlb flavored.

    Menthol Crystals

    Indeed. Does not take much. In a 20ml bottle I place two medium sized crystals (no scale for exact weight, sorry) and cap the bottle. I place this in a mug of hot water from the tap and let it sit. it took that and a refill of the hot water for the crystals to dissolve completely, and the...

    Top 10 lists for newbies

    If I read right, this is specific awesomes the relatively aged vapers have learned. At 9 months, I consider myself there. Don't go exclusively by anything here, just track trends and experiment. Mind the regrets probably, but tastes vary wildly. Each atomizer has its fans, if the one you start...

    Weird tasting atomizers?

    When a particularly rough flavor gets stuck in the atty (tried one cola flavor that would not go away) I have found putting a bit of unflavored Vegetable Glycerin on the atomizer does wonders for clearing it out. You can find that at whole foods, some cvs pharmacies, and some grocery stores...

    Hitting a rough spot here, need some advice!

    I had exactly the same problem with the perfection lasting only a few uses. I took to constantly topping off the cartridges, and after a while switched to direct dripping and have not had to mess with any cartridge now for many months, and feel as though the success of my setup is now directly...
