    Let's do batteries again!

    I use the Ultrafire WF-138 for CR-2 3.0V: DealExtreme: $11.54 UltraFire 3.0V/3.6V CR123A Charger it has a selectable voltage 3.0 or 3.6 and is sized for RCR123A/16340. If you put it in 3.0V mode and stick the rare earth magnets onto the CR-2 3.0V batt it works great for that. I got this...

    Let's do batteries again!

    RCR123A and 16340 are both size specifications. They are not voltage specifications. 23A means 2/3rds the size of an A battery. 16340 means 16mm diameter x 34mm long and 0 means round. Do not assume that if it says RCR123A it is a 3.0V battery, same for 16340, it could be 3.0 or 3.6 instead...

    Life of Tenergy 3.0v batteries

    I have had the exact same experience w/ mine. 3-4 weeks of 8 hours or so, then they drop off a bit. I had expected they would put out the same performance until they reached the cutoff voltage for the protection but now they seem to drop off after 4-5 hours. Happens every day, but even so I...

    Super-T Model Comparison

    If you're talking about the Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V, they are indeed the same size but they basically have a built in regulator - mine charge to 4.2V, but as soon as you put a load on them (press the button on your mod) a built in circuit board drops the voltage to 3.0V. There is a more technical...

    banned in NYC?

    Yeah, sorry -- I didn't mean it was banned from possession or ANY kind of usage, just banned in the same way smoking tobacco is banned in public places, workplaces, etc. Here is a snippet from the offensive press release: "Cooper’s legislation bans the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under...

    banned in NYC?

    Somebody from Southern California did *incorrectly* post that. Vaping is banned in Suffolk County, Long Island, but not in NYC. Edit to say stealth vaping in some places is probably advisable. If you decide to openly vape in the Met you may wind up spending a while explaining all about e-cigs...

    5V Vaping ~VS~6V Vaping

    I prefer 901 at 6V. I have a 5V that just doesn't quite cut it on the 901 and almost is good enough w/ a 510. I am getting exactly 6V from the Tenergy RCR123-A batteries. I've always wondered how many folks who say 6V is too harsh are using a 510 w/ CR2 batts at 7.2V initially?

    If available would you buy ZERO nic High Voltage Liquid

    I misread it too - I would go for 0 nic flavored and use it to cut HV down to 6 mg.

    Can I come in now?

    Maybe try this - next time you reach for your cigarettes to go outside and smoke one, grab the e-cig and take that outside for 5 minutes instead. Maybe all you're needing is the 'smoke break' aspect of analogs. This helped me, could work for others.

    Looking for a good US supplier

    I tried a ton of suppliers. nhaler.com has the best flavors I've found. I see you're in NJ so shipping is fast - Nhaler is in NJ.

    It's official! (Need opinions on graphic)

    That first one looks sweet! It's well-known that putting lightning on the design adds more volts ;)

    Is my face red?

    Possible your sis smoked less than you and thus doesn't put as much of a strain on the equipment? I went through the same battery frustrations w/ my original 510. That's why i have 4 mods and another 2 on order. If money is a concern there are people here who will make you a nicostick for...

    Box Mod with Liquid Auto-Feed

    I watched this last night - awesome device, I want one! It seemed to me like holding the pump button for 15 seconds could get annoying after a while, though. Do you find that maybe 5 seconds would be a long enough hold time, or is 15 not as annoying as I think it would be?

    China Airmail (i need a straight up answer)

    My DX order was a different story. Ordered on 9-24, didn't get to HK post until 11-9, left HK 11-11, got here 11-16. Airmail was fast...DX was SLOW and their support was awful. But I would've paid triple the amount buying from a supplier in the states so I just gritted my teeth and waited and...

    Chicagoland

    Last time I was in chicago was a couple of years ago and they had just enacted their "No smoking within 14 feet of the entrance to a public building" law. I got a ton of dirty looks from people wherever I went to smoke. Are they just viciously against smoking there?

    I get embarrased while vaping in public

    I got an odd look from a guy today while vaping on a flashlight mod while out walking my dog. He was one out of 200 people I passed and nobody else noticed a thing.
