    Best VV/VW in the sub $120 category

    Hmmm...no reason that you can not get the same vapor production on a variable voltage device as on a mechanical...its all about the amount of current delivered and coil resistance after all. With a coil resistance in the 1.3 to 1.8 ohm range, either the Hana clone or Segeli 20 watt should...

    Evic supreme

    I am happy to see that the "Beta" testers are in line for one! Some of the features look good, but the question of course will be whether or not they work as advertised and if the construction is better than the eVic's was. I have an eVic, and it is certainly decent, but it is a bit glitchy...

    Questions about the itaste VTR

    The VTR can use the Pro Tanks within the "skeleton", however you will need to use the included extension tube with the Nautilus...no problem otherwise. For tanks to fit within the frame of the VTR they can't exceed 22mm. The VTR has no external device charging feature unlike the MVP 2...

    Would you go the extra $ and get a ProVari ???

    I would recommend instead the Segeli 20 watt, before a Provari. While I can appreciate the very nice construction of the Provari, at the cost, its hard to justify based on its outdated feature set.

    SVD w/ patriot clone...so confused??

    As far as your battery life goes, sounds about right to me. An 18650 generally will get you 7 to 10 hours of vaping although of course your mileage will vary according to how heavily you vape. If you go to a high-powered 18650, such as the Panasonic 3400mah battery, you should get through a...

    RBA are they worth it

    RBAs are great, but, if you like vaping on an Evod battery, and are happy with that size/form factor, you might consider just rebuilding your pro tank coils. Although not an RBA, pro tank coils are actually rather easy to rebuild, and many do so. If you do want to explore rebuilding coils, a...

    LR Cartomizer questions.

    You know, logic would make you think poly end first but in reality, I find it more consistent to fill from the connector end (using the condom method).

    New Triton Kit, had to replace coil

    Although I find the Triton coils to be pretty good quality control wise, they are after all just a very fine wire, and once in awhile you may get a DOA coil as with any other clearomizer.

    Halo e-juice weirdness?

    Keep in mind that the opacity of the ejuice is a fair indicator of how much it is likely to gunk up your wicks/coils. Darker blends carry more particulates which deposit on the coils/wicks than clearer blends. This is not necessarily a "good-bad" thing, just the nature of how flavors are...

    Does Turkish crack tanks: 3 times is a pattern?

    I have used Turkish in my Triton tanks with never a crack...after one year, my first Triton tank still is just fine. As an ejuice blend, there is nothing in Turkish that should cause a problem with a plastic tank. Some citrus flavors and licorice can definitely break down a plastic tank (Not...

    LR Cartomizer questions.

    The advantage to using the "condom" fill method is that you get a more even distribution and get the ejuice flowing to the coil better. I find that the LR cartomizers vape well, but are less forgiving about how they are filled than the standard resistance cartos.

    Rebuilding coil and wicks on Triton

    Yep, just a guess but I'd say that most likely it is one of three things: 1. Your coil resistance is too low. Lower than ideal coil resistance will certainly result in a hot/burnt taste 2. You may be wrapping your coils too tight or too loose, resulting in "hot spots". 3. You may not be...

    New to e-Cig (experience)

    Congrats for making the switch! Keep in mind that even though you are staying adequately hydrated, vaping will dry out the surface of your mouth/throat. Bottom line: Vaping is after all NOT smoking, and the characteristics are different to be sure. You might try sticking with blends that...

    What's with HALO?

    I think that a large part of the popularity with Halo is that they offer good gear for a "mainstream" hardware and ejuice company. While it is true that there is nothing extraordinary in terms of the batteries/clearos/etc. that they sell, they do theior homework and match equipment that works...

    MVP2 help

    A few observations: First, do not get confused, you can use the MVP 2 in either voltage or wattage mode...one does not affect the other. Remember with the MVP 2, it is whichever setting you last accessed (volts or watts) that is the mode you are vaping in. Generally speaking, a 2.5ohm coil...

    Help me understand my e-cig

    Good reply BigCatDaddy. Can you rebuild the PT coil with cotton? Yes, but IMHO its not ideal as the area is just very small for cotton wicking (Just my opinion!) Some folks swear by cotton in terms of the clean flavor and I would not argue that, but I think that cotton can be a "pita" in...

    coils on MVP 2.0

    1.4 is fine on the MVP 2. I have fired mine down to a 1.2 resistance, but then on a variable power mod, to what end? If I turn up the voltage I can get more than enough "pop" from a 1.8 - 2.2 ohm tank.

    Best VV/VW APV under $100.00.

    Although it is either just over or just under according to where you purchase it, the Segeli 20 watt may be the best tube style mod out there.

    Why am I disappointed with my Provari

    Hmm, you are comparing apples to oranges here. The Provari does not do watts, only voltage. The Vamo can be used in either watts or voltage mode. I may certainly be wrong here, and apologize if so, but if you are vaping in voltage mode on the Vamo, of course 5 volts will blow the hell out...

    provari vs full mech pv

    Hmm, I do not see this as an "either/or" proposition. While there are adherents to each device, it really comes down to YOUR preference. Though I have mech mods and RBA/RDAs that I build my own coils for, I generally prefer the simplicity of having a vv/vw variable power regulated mod. Simply...
