    The Kick by Sigelei?

    The Kick is NOT made in China. It's manufactured end to end in the USA by Dimension and Evolv. You really need to get your facts straight before maligning a reputable company which, apparently, you know nothing about.

    Well...I'm Really Disappointed in the Kanger T3

    Or, try a T2. Better TH in my opinion, and warmer. In any case welcome to the wonderful world of vaping. Not every device works for all the people all the time. Often you just have to try something else. Ask any experienced vaper how many head units he's gone through in his time. Generally it'll...

    Kicking the Bolt (or Bolting the Kick?) :D

    All valid points, but you're kind of proving my case. Sure, individual examples might be great, and if you're lucky you'll get one, but generally speaking even the Chinese "name brands" have had, and continue to have, multiple issues. So I stand by my statement, one-sided or not. The issues'...

    Kicking the Bolt (or Bolting the Kick?) :D

    Spend a little time in the variable voltage forum and you'll find a bunch of nut cases, or maybe not so much. Fact is, most Chinese mods are buggy and an unmodified Bolt is no exception. So I think my comments are as "called for" as your ad hominem opinions. 'Nuff said.

    Kick Users: Read Up!

    So I've been having this issue with my Kick: often, even with a fresh battery, it'll go into the dreaded pulsing (low batt) mode after only a few minutes. Generally I've been able to resolve this by removing the batt and re-installing, but today it really bugged me so I called the factory for...

    Available Now - The KICK by Evolv - Power Regulated E-cigarette Module

    Here's a tip straight from the factory: sand the underside (battery contact) with steel wool to remove traces of waterproofing compound. This ensures proper contact and resolves the premature low-battery pulsing issue.

    Kicking the Bolt (or Bolting the Kick?) :D

    If you mod your Bolt with 20 gauge wire and possibly a new switch (not required but desirable), and add a Kick, you'll never want a buggy Vamo. Once modded, the Bolt can compete with a Silver Bullet all day long - totally bullet-proof, so to speak. From the factory, though, they have very weak...

    Where can I buy a mod that uses DNA-12 or DNA-20?

    Get a Kick and add it to the mechanical mod of your choice. It's basically a DNA 12 and you can use it in practically anything.

    PLEASE Tell me something that doesn't leak like a CE3 does

    Vivi Novas (Vision) and Kanger T2s don't leak. The Vivis prefer a thinner juice, but the Kangers are more forgiving.

    Newly designed switch for The Bolt

    Haven't bought one, but I like the idea of an ego option. You'll still have to fix the wiring problem, though. Bolts are great when they're upgraded; stock not so much...

    YJ Lavatube...Intermittent Connection Problem

    Hmm, considering the Chinese invented ecigs, that's a pretty harsh condemnation. I'll bet if you go through your stuff you'll have to throw out 80% 'cause of its Asian origins. Pretty hard to survive these days with no Chinese products...

    Interesting discovery

    Here's another tip: once you've repaired and re-soldered, glue the top to the tube so it will never again separate. That's what kills a lot of the flat-top LTs. You can still remove the brass center insert if you need to replace the grommet again.

    YJ Lavatube...Intermittent Connection Problem

    That's like saying all American products are good or junk, or German, or Swiss, or fill in the blank. Really? You can actually generalize like that? I've had two YJ black chrome units (one DOA, the other dead soon after) and these really were junk. My L-Riders, on the other hand, both work like...

    Will Vamo Extinguish the LT?

    Of course, one does need back-ups so owning more than one PV makes a lot of sense. But it's true that people can go nuts over equipment, although this happens in almost every hobby/special interest situation. My take on vaping is that the equipment is just a means to an end - kind of like...

    Airhead with a new Vision Spinner

    and lastly, i prefer predominantly VG juices (around 70% or more)...does that have any effect on what ohms or voltages i should be aiming for? It's unlikely you'll burn out a 2.0 cart with a Spinner, but heavy VG juices will gunk 'em up pretty quick. Then you may experience burnt taste and hard...

    Rechargable Batteries

    First, clean the contacts on both the battery and the charger. Then, once your head is clear, do some research on the approximately 10,000 removable battery devices currently available. :)

    Sick to death of leaking !!!

    Which clearos are you using? My Vivi Novas never leak, nor do the Kangers. Some of the clones do, however, so be sure you're getting the genuine article.

    Somebody please talk me out of a Provari

    Or... you could use any type of lube/grease. I wouldn't sweat the Noalox.

    Am I the only one?

    Vivi Novas work fine, but they hate thick juices. If you're using a VG-heavy liquid they'll burn every time.

    Does any mod fit a kanger t3

    I think the YJ 2.0 will work, but I wouldn't recommend those to my worst vaping enemy...
