    So HOW addictive is nicotine/smoking??

    I find that I can go a lot longer without having a vape than I ever liked to when I smoked. In places where I can't vape, I'm not bothered nor will I go outside to vape. Its just, meh, I can wait. Cigarettes? Out there freezing unmentionable things off because I wanted one so badly. Guess...

    Which component is the limiting factor in ego battery power delivery?

    I believe it is just the battery that reaches the end of its usefulness & can no longer hold a good charge. In some instances of a short circuit I've heard of MOSFETs dying and the like, so using them with RBA can be a touchy act. I like to make sure they work on something else & they are of...

    Ideas for topping my provari.

    RDA are probably the easiest thing to work on ever just so you know, especially if you don't intend on using SS mesh (no dealing with shorts), so you may not want to rule them out. That IGO-L has a very large platform to work with and I believe it'd look great on a provari. And for a...

    What is the most desireable setup?

    I've found my vaping perfection so far in a Provari + AGA-T setup, either SS mesh or ceramic wick, unflavored liquid. Its reliable, cheap to maintain, vapes just how I like it I really couldn't ask for more. But of course I've got my eye on 2 mechanical mods currently and a CVI v1 on its way to...

    Do protected batteries need calibration?

    I don't believe any Li-Ion cells require calibration at any point, never have read it suggested nor have I found it necessary (even on phones etc). 800mah isn't all that much, and depending on your delivery system setup and its amperage draw, that sounds about right (I get 4-6 hours from my AW...

    How many ml per day do you vape?

    I seem to be up from 3ml to 4, figure it's from adding another PV & trying out a carto-tank for the first time. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    Do You have a AGR tank?

    If it happens again, you can try putting a small oring around the carto's 510 then putting the base on. Was having constant flooding issues until I tried that (as suggested by dinet). Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    AGA-T air hole not lining up & too small??

    Sanding down the bottom of the cap is a common fix for the v1. It seems they threaded too high & misaligned. So removing material from the bottom allows the cap to screw down further. I just ran mine back & forth on coarse grit sandpaper. Wipe out the threads, twist it on to see where...

    Ahlusion Xpress????

    Is it just a service to offer quicker liquid delivery? I do see people complain about their turn around. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    Differences between a Cartomizer Tank and a Rebuildable Atomizer Tank

    Some RBA leak, mine never do (AGA-Ts). They can be a hassle to setup but it becomes second nature. RBA will have a lower running cost on average, as you only need to buy resistance wire & wick material. Cartos at their cheapest prices have a hard time comparing. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    genesis vs vivi and cartos...

    I used to constantly taste filler in cartos. Maybe because it's in a tank or maybe because I'm vaping unflavored I don't notice it anymore. But using a self-punched Boge SR in my AGR the flavor produced is almost identical to my #500 AGA-T. Vaping them side by side & the difference is...

    Battery experts chime in

    They still utilize lithium, therefore they are a lithium ion cell. IMR, ICR, IFR are all Li-Ion. But as shown in this thread, that doesn't make them all inherently interchangeable or proper for all applications. But I'm a stickler for semantics... I see this general drive that the highest...

    genesis vs vivi and cartos...

    Cartos taste fine to me. Haven't used a stock VVN head in ages either, but the bamboo doesn't lack that badly. But I still prefer genesis over all others. Torn between #500 & porous ceramic though. Broken two ceramic wicks, so that is a bad situation right there...but they work so damned...

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    It's hard to say, given the many rampant methods used to achieve oxidation. Minimal is using their coils & pulsing to achieve oxidation only where the coil needs it. I only tend to torch the sidelines of the wick that'll meet the coil. I consider this pretty minimal myself but it is probably...

    Why does the Provari take so long to ship?

    I've not read one report of people actually waiting that long to ship. Seems 48h max. They probably just want some leeway just incase. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    Vape Waste - How do you deal?

    Any place that takes old phones will more than likely take Li-Ion cells off your hands, as will radioshack, batteries plus, etc. Now where they go from there, I'm not sure, but not much we can do about it. Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    Vape Waste - How do you deal?

    Replacement heads can be rebuilt & that alone will save you cash & make you feel 'greener.' I have a major issue throwing things away, so I tend to avoid buying disposable gear personally. RBA have been awesome in that regard. Along with getting away from batteries without the ability to...

    Anything Comparable to the Lavatube 2 or Provari for Under $100?

    Or a 2200mah 18650. 18350 (the 800 mah) are way smaller than a Twist 1000, carrying more takes up less space in a pocket Faxed in on the Mojo Wire

    Carto pops/crackles louder than my other tank. Is it flooded?

    I'm kind of baffled by the crackling of cartos. Running my AGA-T with higher watts results in like 90% less noise and same if not more vapor. Just has me curious. Crackling cartos make it a touch difficult to stealth vape haha I even feel a bit guilty while vaping them & watching a movie...
