    Question about my ecig

    Try a new cart. Probably not the tube's fault. Could also be flooded.

    Button issues?

    Electrical contact cleaner. Spray it inside and out.

    Will Vamo Extinguish the LT?

    Huh. I've fixed a couple of these cheapies and they're still going strong. And Provari owners seem to send their units in for repair fairly regularly, so.... Guess it's just a matter of time, right?

    Will Vamo Extinguish the LT?

    But you're missing the point. With VW you don't have to reset the volts every time you change cartos, attys, etc. Has nothing to do with Ohm's Law. Thing with YJ is, they're total crap. Can't judge all inexpensive devices by that standard.

    Totally Wicked's LT ( Torpedo ) screen flashing

    Try cleaning the switch with electrical contact cleaner. That should fix the misfiring problem and maybe the other issues as well.

    I bought a bad 510 to ego adapter...

    That looks like a LT 1.0 or 1.5, which means it doesn't have ego fittings and won't solve your problem. Easier to go with a Vamo or Lambo if you want a native ego connector.

    What a Deal

    I'm not buying any regular mods anymore, but when I did I had a couple of Bolts, an E-Power, etc. All had wires and all broke. Are there good, sturdy, non-VV mods out there? Sure. Are there good, sturdy VV mods? You bet. Given that fact I'd rather have the variable option. Btw, this is a VV...

    What a Deal

    A VV mod is just fancy battery holder with flashing lights and wires that can possibly wear out and break.. True, but a standard mod is just a tube without the fancy lights and useful functionality but still containing wires that wear out and break. I've tossed more of these than VVs.

    What a Deal

    Yeah, but it's not VV or VW. Totally different animal from the Vamo, or any other VV device. Basically just a fancy battery holder, imho...

    Is any clearomizer as good as Boge 510 2.0ohm Cartomizer?

    About 75-25 VG/PG. With clearos it doesn't seem to matter too much (especially with cotton), but cartos hate thick juices. Especially dark, sweet ones. When I first started vaping I tried some insane chocolate, pure VG mess from Johnson Creek. Killed the cart in less than an hour. Vape and learn.

    lavetube charger question

    I don't know about the absence of lights on your charger (you should get a better one anyway), but as for charging times, remember, you're not starting with a totally dead battery. You never want to let the battery to get so low that it requires the maximum charging time to return it to full...

    VAMO Owners - Pics, Tips, Tricks and Quirks

    Hmmm... Says $39.00, body only. Shipping is $4.27. Must have realized they were selling too cheap. But thanks for the info.

    Young June is Dead, Long Live L-Rider 1.5

    So my early version Young June black chrome suddenly started sizzling all by itself, then gasped its last. RIP. Man, I'm just done with these things. The L-Rider 1.5 is soooo much better (and that includes the Lamebo, with its squirrely center pin). As a backup to the Vamo, or even as the main...

    VAMO Owners - Pics, Tips, Tricks and Quirks

    Good idea. I'm sure the Vamo will get its own forum once enough people actually own them. But I'm curious to know where you're getting 'em for $30 including shipping. Also, are the stainless models available yet? Preferably in the US?

    Is any clearomizer as good as Boge 510 2.0ohm Cartomizer?

    Boges are great, while they last. But I'm sure you know that their half-life is pretty short. Even though they may work fine after a few days, the flavor gets weird and eventually they stuff up and have to be tossed. I find the Vivi Novas and their clones to be every bit as good and much more...

    A couple flavor questions

    You've probably chosen the worst possible flavor combo in terms of carto life - dark and sweet. Guaranteed to kill 'em in really short order. But if you don't mind tossing them every couple of days, and you love the taste, vape on.

    L-Rider Robust limited to 9 watts

    If it has a watt limit it also has an amp limit (like every electrical device). Ohm's Law says I=V/R, so 4.5v/2.2 ohms = 2.04 amps. That's its limit.

    Vaping to quit smoking for health reasons?!?!

    You could try my approach, which was to limit myself to five cigarettes a day, using a brand I hated (American Spirits) until you're analog free. Another thing to remember is that nicotine isn't the only addictive substance in tobacco. There are plenty of additives and other constituents that...
