    Intro and help request GLV2

    have you tried contacting greatlakesvapor? im sure they would repair it. unless you have a digital volt and ohm meter, there is no way of knowing what the exact voltage / amperage output is on your GLV2

    Mechanical and RBA noob with one question.

    just make sure you follow all the safety precautions that come with rebuilding an atomizer. if your not careful you could explode the battery in a fireball that could cause some real damage or death.

    anyone see this video ?- e-cigarette plugged into an iPad charger - explosion

    yes the wall to USB adapter. some apple wall chargers can put out 2.4 amps (most e-cigs require a lot less). and coupled with an unregulated charging cable could cause some real damage

    Mechanical and RBA noob with one question.

    Clearomizers are rather inefficient. the best estimates right now is that %50 of the nicotine in the e-liquid will make its way out of the e-cig and into your mouth and that is with an efficient device. most of the nicotine is going to be absorbed by your mouth and throat and a little bit from...

    anyone see this video ?- e-cigarette plugged into an iPad charger - explosion

    shes lucky she was not in the process of unhooking it from the charger when it decided to explode, she might have lost a finger, the very least severe burns to her hand... people, Please use the correct charger.

    Mechanical and RBA noob with one question.

    the more vapor the device produces, the more nicotine you get per hit. i use 6 MG per mL or less in my RDA with 18650 mech mod. Most of the throat hit you experience is based on the nicotine content, also the PG content to some extent. what is the PG / VG ratio of the e-liquid you are using...

    More and more often...

    yes lots of people find some "news" about e-cigarettes and take it as hard facts based on "science"... people will believe what you tell them. at one point in america BT payed off Doctors to say that Cigarettes were not only safe, but good for you... that the menthol was "good for your throat...

    Battery life

    that silicone grommet on top that seals the chimney to top of the coil head is not going to melt or burn just from dry firing, unless your doing something way outside of the normal operation conditions of the rig. this is what i do to my protank / evod heads...

    Battery life

    Factory kanger coil heads for the protank are non resistance - resistance - non resistance wires. They are arc welded and the welds can be hard to spot especially on a brand-new wire. On a factory coil head you will not burn the rubber unless you do something like dry fire upside down for an...

    What's with the cloud chasing?

    i really like a single sub ohm coil. sub ohm duel coils is a bit much for me. that said a single sub ohm coil with the right setup and a fresh battery can put out a TON of vapor. i remember when i first started doing it. i was at a stop light and i let a big cloud roll out my car window and...

    opinions on wick

    are you sure Acrolein is produced at the boiling point of VG? can i see some data that would show or at least suggest that when VG is boiled at 290 C it produces Acrolein? i have looked and could not find anything.... as for the strands of cotton popping through. there are a lot of variables...

    Ok, so over the weekend i have looked a number of various ways to look at how hot an e-cig atomizer will get, under normal operating conditions. lets go over what i found. infrared / laser temp guns are inexpensive and wildly available. here are the issues i have with using this device for the...

    Cartomizer option for the Panzer Mod?

    sure! the panzer has 510 threading so just about any 510 cartomizer or tank should work. do you plan on using a "Kick" in your panzer?
