    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    I slightly melted another cart last night (the one that has about 1/8" cut trimmed off) and I was vaping upright in a chair. The polyfil material was slightly dry in the area that the cart was melted (the rest was moist). Maybe blue foam might help? I don't think anyone makes metal carts...

    Making a metal cart. Does anyone know the thickness of the metal in a 510 battery?

    I'm thinking about making a metal cart for a 510 and I was thinking that it might be possible to dismantle a 510 battery (since the outside diameter would be perfect), cut it to the length of a cart, and with a homemade lathe (power drill and dremel tool) grind enough off one of the ends to fit...

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    I think the first cart I melted could be due to the liquid collecting in the wrong end, but the second one definitely wasn't because I was intentionally tilting it down that time. Update: I was using the 901 cart for a few days and didn't have any issues (I also didn't push it all the way...

    What's the best way to suggest an e-cig to long time heavy smoker?

    Good points. I think I'll just vape in front of her next time I see her and let her ask me about it (I'll be sure to have a clean extra cart ready). After she asks about it and tries it, I could mention all the benefits. She's my sister's mother-in-law (not sure what that makes her to me) and...

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    I used my 901 carts in the 510 last night and had no issues at all!:D I was going to trim the 510 carts but couldn't find a razor. I took a look at the Super-T and they look great, but I didn't really want to go with pure dripping. Plus, if I was going to spend that kind of money on something...

    Car passion

    Yeah totally. I can appreciate all kinds of cars, but have an affinity for exotic sports cars and luxury sedans.

    What's the best way to suggest an e-cig to long time heavy smoker?

    After getting into vaping and only smoking analogs when I had a lack of equipment or equipment failure (shouldn't be an issue anymore) I realized how effective vaping could be for smoking cessation. I didn't have any plans whatsoever to quit smoking, but I found out about e-cigs online and...

    510 or 901?

    510 for when I'm out and 901 with USB passthrough for when I'm in my office (or on ECF). The atty on a 901 is long enough that if you take a nice long slow drag you can get more vapor and a better throat hit than the 510 (atty doesn't get as hot). I also only use flavors in the 901 and regular...

    Very nearly a new first time vaper!

    It's true...you can vape all day without realizing it. Your first few days (maybe weeks) you'll be experiencing new toy syndrome. Keep in mind that you'll feel like you're vaping more than your smoking because with smoking you probably wont just take a puff or two and put it out. Just...

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    The bling tip looks cool, but it still uses plastic inside the cart. I found a place that does custom machine work (CNC Machine Shop | Custom Waterjet, Plasma, Laser Cutting | eMachineShop.com), but the price of a one off looks expensive. Judging from their sample prices (Sample Prices) it...

    What's the big deal, really?

    I think Adi has a good point about not letting children have caffeine. How worried should I be if I smoked and drank coffee during my adolescence? Maybe I should do some research on that lol. I think the major thing is that nicotine is so correlated to smoking that most people are ignorant to...

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    Thanks WillyB. I was actually wondering about that. Thanks for the info. I'm still surprised that the manufacturers use plastic for the carts. I wonder if has something to do with holding nic juice or if it's just a cost savings thing. I don't even like the idea of my water being in plastic...

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    I never thought of that lol. Thanks! Have you had problems melting the 510s too? I just compared the 510 and 901 carts side by side and the 901 is a hair shorter. I don't quite like the whistle tip of the 901 so I think I'll trim down the 510 to be the same height as the 901 (maybe shorter).

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    Yeah I thought about trimming the plastic carts. I have no problem at all with my 901 and those carts have a much smaller profile. Oh please sell me your metal carts...lol! Are they simple to make or do you need to machine them?

    Please Help! Metal carts for 510?

    I'm having some issues with my 510. I vape all day long without a problem (always topped off and two drops on the atty) but as soon as I have my last vape laying in bed I melt my plastic carts. This happened two nights in a row. I'm not sure what's worse...smoking a pack of analogs for the...

    Shelf life of E-liquid

    Thanks great info everyone. So I guess it's mostly common sense then. If I had to guess, PG and VG probably wouldn't freeze in a freezer (not too sure about pure nic) so does anyone store their long term juices in the freezer (in a brown glass bottle) or is this just overkill?

    Shelf life of E-liquid

    I was just curious about the shelf life of e-liquid and the best ways to store it (in the fridge, freezer, cool dark cabinet, etc.). I'm planning on loading up on the liquid (maybe a 6 month to 1 year supply). I want to do this for 2 reasons: 1. If the government decides to crack down on...

    Vaping makes me tired?

    It's possible you're vaping in a different manner than when you smoked. This is according to wikipedia and I think it might be worth thinking about: Research suggests that, when smokers wish to achieve a stimulating effect, they take short quick puffs, which produce a low level of blood...

    Is VG fattening?

    I'm not a doctor either, but nicotine speeds up the metabolism so maybe it's a wash. They might know in the health section of this forum. Have you had a look there?
