    Very well - hence the title :)

    Fasttech Private V2 Clone - It Coulda Been a Contender

    The only thing worse than buying a totally crappy clone that doesn't work at all is buying one that has the potential for excellence, but falls short due to a couple of easily avoidable crappy features. Such is the Private V2 clone. I will specify that this is the Fasttech version, which may or...

    All Brass TVS Diablo Clone - Chiablo

    I'm curious to know whether the polished brass pieces resist tarnish and oxidation better than the unpolished pieces? I have a solid brass "Chi Chi" that I have to polish constantly. I don't care for the "patina" look - just looks dirty to me. That's the only thing that has stopped me from...

    23mm+ mods

    The Sigelei #8, imprecisely measured with a cheap plastic protractor, appears to be 23mm. I have a Rainbow Ithaka clone on it and it fits like they were made for each other.

    Does anyone direct drip anymore?

    I was really referring more to the concept - a reasonably priced, readily available device that turns your ego into a bottom-feeder - than this particular device, but I didn't express that very well, as I was thumb-typing on my phone at the football game and just trying to keep it short. But I...

    Does anyone direct drip anymore?

    BOLO for "squonk" type device made for ego batteries called the Aurora BFT, or something like that. Works with old school 510 attys. See GotVapes subforum or Todd's Reviews on YouTube. Looks like a game changer for drippers. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    So i got tribecca from halo in today. I don't think i like it.

    I have never tried any of Halo's juices, but the comment I read over and over again is that they need LOTS of steep time. I think it has something to do with one of their base ingredients, or maybe the carrier used for their flavors. Whatever it is, some people get a very strong chemical taste...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    Thanks for the tips - I pulled all the juice out with a syringe, re-seated the ceramic housing and screwed it down tight into the base. Once refilled, I put the top cap on loosely, then tilted it to get an air bubble at the bottom of the tank before screwing the top cap down tight - awesomeness...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    +1 on the leaking question. First two builds worked perfectly, but the third time is definitely not the charm. Juice is literally dripping out of the battery connection. Different juice this time, but no thinner than normal; essentially the same wick and coil set up - 32g twisted Kanthal and...

    Available Now Exclusive USA Release, A product we boxed and named, The Vision Aurora BFT infinity

    Looking forward to this one. Been thinking of getting a bottom-feeder, but if the ABFT is as good as it promises to be, I can get that fresh-squonked flavor without having to invest in all the specialized gear. Bad, I don't recall exactly how they're put together, but is there any chance we'll...

    Any juice similar to Grant's Vanilla Custard?

    Me, too - I've been all tobacco all the time for months now. Had a sweet tooth the other night, though, and stumbled upon this - at LiteCig.com of all places (it's OK, they just carry it; they don't make it): The BluePrint - C.R.E.A.M. Never tried it, never heard of it before, but it...

    Hello from Texas

    Howdy from a former West Texan. I'm near Austin now, but I was born in Monahans. Glad you're making the transition to vaping so easily. It was the same for me - haven't touched an analog since I got my first PV more than 3 years ago. You're right about the endless variety. How could we ever go...

    Updates on e-juice

    Plume Room is one of my favorites - one of two vendors I go back to on a regular basis. Andrea's Banana Pudding is excellent. Fresh, real banana, creamy pudding, 'Nilla Wafer crust - it's all in there. Come to think of it ... excuse me for a sec, will ya?

    The diap-a-wick

    LOL! That's funny! Sounds like a winner - can't go wrong with bamboo and organic cotton. Park of me wants to ask how it wicks, but part of me can't quit thinking of it as a diaper, so ... eeww (J/K). It's actually a pretty good idea and another example of how vaping seems to bring out the...

    Congrats to the raffle winners, whoever you may be :) I'm spending some a little quality time with my new samples tonight - Black Cherry, Dover Court, Cognac Infused and 3 Crown (thanks, Clay!), which I'm saving for last. I'll share my thoughts on them after I've gotten to know them a little...

    K100 or smoktech magneto?!?!

    I would say it depends on what you're putting on it. The top cap of K100 is only @ 18 mm in diameter - great for drippers and the ProTank, but larger genesis atomizers will stick out. The Magneto is 22 mm, so you'll get a more seamless look with the larger tanks. They both perform very well. The...

    IGO-W, NIMBUS or TRIDENT

    I have a Nimbus, and the holes in the posts don't line up on it, either - the middle post is turned slightly to one side, making it a bit tricky to thread the wire. Once I get it set up, though, it is by far my favorite atomizer. Having said that, I can't see any reason why the igo-W wouldn't...
