    Welcome to the board kuruptsoul. Saving money can be a motivation to switch to vaping , but for me , I can't put a price on how much better I feel.

    My first Vape

    Congratulations alegria and welcome to ECF. I personally have not tried the juice you are using. I would however suggest you refrain from bulk buys until you are certain you like the product. The same type flavor from separate vendors can taste quite different. I'd suggest ordering smaller...

    Anyone know of an exploding battery while vaping?

    It can not be overstated to anyone that wants to use electronic cigarettes (or anything else using lithium ion batteries) the importance to have at least a basic understanding of battery safety. Everyone should own a multimeter and learn how to check their batteries to ensure they are not over...

    Your very first mod?

    After starting with a 650mAh eGo clone , I bought a Maxi Roughstack v2 for the ability to use 18650 batts . Very durable but not friendly to tanks because of the top mounted switch. It served me well for almost a year and a half and is now relegated to back up status due to purchasing a ProVari...

    Need some help with adapters! (And some general info)

    The Volt x2 has a Kr808d-1 connector also compatible with 901 threads. You need a 510/kr808d or 510/901 adapter. Try Madvapes.

    Ordered a Provari

    Just wanted to share in your excitement ,Bob57. Let us know what you think once it arrives. If you ordered batteries with it they will have a partial charge.(Mine topped off in 20 minutes). If you have never seen one besides in pictures and video, I'll bet you'll be surprised by how compact it...

    Hello ECF! Teach Me!

    Your advice is pretty good about not jumping in all directions but I find the part of your post that I bolded grossly inaccurate.

    Which Mod should I get?

    Mark83uk, many are happy with their lavatubes, vmax, zmax etc. You will not find a consensus. I find some of the arguments hilarious really. In the midst of even the most heated are some gems of knowledge that I file away for later reference. Kind of like automobiles. If you buy X brand auto and...

    Which Mod should I get?

    I take offense to your blanket categorization . I started with a ego knockoff, saw the 650mAh batts were not gonna cut it long-term and lived somewhat happily with a $45 Maxi Roughstack ,18650 batteries and LR attys. I treated myself to a Provari (after a year and a half of not smoking...

    Which Mod should I get?

    If you are a vaper that likes all their juices at a certain wattage then VW is fine. I find different flavors have nuances that get lost at too high or too low a wattage . This leaves you constantly changing the wattage according to juice flavor and pg/vg ratio.So where is the advantage to VW...

    New member looking for purchase advice

    m6000w and Rise , IMO ,this thread seems to have veered a bit away from helping you get the equipment you seek . If money isn't an issue for either of you, ProVari V2 is a top notch vaporizer that will perform the same from the beginning of battery insertion until the battery is discharged...

    My ProVari is HERE!

    I love to read any "I just got my ProVari" thread. I waited a year and a half from the time I started vaping to hit that submit order button. I knew I wanted it but always found a way to justify waiting a little longer. When I finally did, I wanted to kick myself in the rear for waiting so long...

    what should i order for my first viva nova?

    With proper care the three included heads should easily last 2 months. There are youtube videos for cleaning and dry burning the coil to prolong optimal life and performance. If you determine you don't care for the taste from the Vivi Nova, videos are also available describing methods for...

    Dissatisfied mini nova customer!!

    After 2-3 tankfuls , depending on the liquid used , a proper cleaning including dry burning the gunk off of the coil should have it performing very well again. Find a YouTube video for cleaning Vivi Nova . Minimal effort to maximize performance and longevity of this product. Also is very easy...
