    Can someone explain the sit and go pass through?

    The real magic of the S&G is that it is the only 3.7V 510 battery that I've seen. All others only run at 3.2V. That extra half volt really does make a difference, and it's the main reason I switched to mods instead of standard batteries.

    Cutting open a battery

    Any sort of cutting involves a risk. Even if you don't cut the battery itself, just cutting a wire and shorting it out could cause a catastrophic battery failure. I've seen pics of dissected batteries, so I know it can be done. You just need to be aware of the potential for trouble. A 180mAh...

    e-cig battery (wish)

    The cheapest commercially produced 18650-capable mod I've seen is the Indulgence, but it comes with a 18350 tube and you have to buy the extended tube separately. It's really not too tough to build one yourself. You can get a 18650 flashlight for as little as $12, and the switch and battery...

    Jules22871 It really is amazing what she's doing with the PIF group.

    Future PV "The Pulse"

    Profiles and settings are almost certainly saved in EEPROM or some other non-volatile memory, so nothing will be lost if you swap out the battery.

    Pure or Blu?

    What is it then, a 306? There aren't many exposed-bridge attys out there, and the thread gender is wrong for a 401. Please don't pretend that this isn't a rebrand/clone of something that already exists. At the very least, the atty/battery must be thread-compatible with either the 306 or 103...

    I Need Computer Advise, Please

    I've never been one to believe that the universe "keeps score", but I know for a fact that people do. I have always tried to be as generous as possible with my friends and family, knowing that if I ever needed anything, they'd have my back. With my recent stint of extended unemployment, I have...

    Glad I could help. :)

    Do not do business with h20 smoking!

    The URL got added to the block list because the supplier was banned for promoting his site without registering.

    5V RIT (Regulator-Ina-Tube)

    That wouldn't really solve the problem. I'd still need something to bridge the gap between the hot side of the peltier and the wall of the tube. Besides, those things suck down a lot of juice, and all I really need is some non-conductive thermal putty.

    Horrible experience with Vapor4Life

    This is exactly why everybody should post their bad experiences on this forum. Sometimes suppliers (especially bigger ones like V4L) need to be reminded that their "policies" don't work for every situation, and that sticking to them no-matter-what can have consequences. If you have a bad...

    All the parts were from madvapes.

    5V RIT (Regulator-Ina-Tube)

    No, is it something similar?

    5V RIT (Regulator-Ina-Tube)

    I don't have anything small enough to measure the temp at the back of the reg. The reg shuts down at 150c, so the temp at the back is probably close to that. That plastic dip stuff is a no-go, as it is not thermally conductive. I need the heat to transfer from the chip to the tube to keep it...

    Nico-Slim

    I've been eying those 1xAA boxes at Madvapes for a while, and finally got around to ordering one to play with. It was a tiny bit trickier to work with due to the narrow space on the side, but it came together all right in the end. Other than being careful to get a button that is slim enough...

    Good E-Cig Info - A Website for the E-Curious

    Those "squares" are a QR code. It's a 2D barcode which any decent smartphone can scan, and it will take you directly to the site. The page is laid out so that it will print on micro-perforated Avery business card sheets. You print it on the sheet then tear out the cards. If you're cheap...

    Riva vs eGo/Tornado?

    Scottbee has both and he went into some detail comparing the riva to the tornado/ego in the eastmall forum. It's in the sticky announcing the riva sale. Edit: found it. A bit more here.

    Ego or VYPR?

    Well, for starters you can build a simple box mod (including 2 batteries and charger) with parts from Madvapes for about $21. You can do it for even less if you buy the batteries from Dealextreme, though you'll be waiting for several weeks on shipping from China. If you don't feel like...

    e-juice retail

    At over $2/ml, they're charging a lot more than standard retail markup, unless they're overpaying for the juice in the first place. There are a dozen suppliers selling for around $.50/ml, which is still only about $1/ml with shipping and markup figured in. I'm sure the stuff they're selling is...

    a cart is a cart??

    The only difference is between whistle tips and round tips. Even then, the only difference is the shape of the tip. The actual liquid reservoir is the same.
