    New avid user and his tales...!

    I wouldn't necessarily say it's too wide at all, I've seen some pretty massive mods that people still use day-to-day. I do agree with you on swapping top and bottom though if it's feasible, my personal preference has always been for a bottom-heavy device that I can stand vertically without...

    New avid user and his tales...!

    Dang, looks like you beat me to it Zero, nice to see someone else with a serious electrical/electronics background joining up :) Was just sketching out plans for a DIY mech last night myself, not getting the kind of power I want from a box mod and trying to get into RBA/sub-ohm for the fun of...

    My introduction.

    Thanks for mentioning that! Seems they restocked most of the colors except black, grabbed two and a cheap RDA to play around with when I get bored. Would never have thought to check MBV for competitive prices on clearos..

    My introduction.

    I'll tell you right now the Vamo is one heck of an upgrade from the 808s, though I still use both equally, the Vamo at my desk, the 808s on the go. You won't be disappointed as long as you run a good delivery system on the Vamo, the Evods should be great, I keep meaning to pick a few up but I'm...

    Day one DIY

    You're buying large items or overweight items most likely, I just made a $30-some dollar order of flavorings and got $3.77 1st class post, but if I added an extra empty 50ml bottle to the order it forced me to do Priority at $6. A difference from 5 to 6 little plastic bottles made the...

    Best cartos

    Never used a carto-tank, but for plain old cartos (I'm an 808 user, so bear that in mind) I've found Kanger to be very good quality, as well as the blanks V2 sells. Yeah, the V2s are pricey, but I love the soft rubber caps since they don't jolt my teeth if I put the ecig too far into my mouth.

    Apollo Sahara e-liquid issue

    Never used that particular liquid unfortunately, but I find a great way to steep most of my DIY flavors is a hot water bath, capped, then shake, uncap, and let sit for a few days to taste, capping and shaking again at least every 24hrs for a bottle of that size, possibly more if you have the...

    Frustrated as hell and ready to give in...

    If you're getting taste changes, turn your devices down from 8w, seems a little high in my experience..I run my Vamo around 7w tops with dark juices, 6w or less with clear/light liquids, this is in a Vivi Nova so perhaps using a carto-tank it's different, but just my two cents on the matter.

    Rinsing the wick

    I rinse my Vivi Nova with hot tap water and let it dry overnight, fill with juice and fire it for a few seconds once the wicks are saturated again (without inhaling, mind you) and then use it as normal. Never had any issues, and it cleaned up some burnt juice from the wick/coil area nicely.

    Hello, new member that could use some help and advice. (FastTech mistake)

    I'd just pick up better batteries elsewhere and keep the ones with the kit as backups, never hurts to have spares in case you run out of charge on the run. If you post a link of what kit you ordered I'm sure we can help answer your questions about the charger as well. For eliquids, I'm not...

    Melted clearomizer safe to use?

    If you've cleaned it and it doesn't taste off you should be fine until you can replace it, just be careful storing it in case it decides to start leaking on you without warning. Generally once the solvent (in this case the flavoring originally used) is removed and the item in question is...

    Addicted to menthol?? New vaper...

    I used to smoke Skylines towards the tail end of my analog 'career', and started on flavored vapes immediately since I was worried the menthol pre-fills would be too strong. Surprisingly, they weren't, and I still enjoy a menthol vape once in a while as the mood strikes, but I moved to various...

    Duel coil question.

    I believe dual coils are wired in parallel which effectively halves the combined resistance, so yes, what you're seeing is approximately normal based upon my understanding of dual coil devices. That second set should be closer to 1.5 though, if they were both 3ohm coils..might want to check...

    Vamo v2

    It'll run with either a single 18350, dual 18350s, or a single 18650 if you have the required extension tube installed.

    Silly ? but HICCUPS??

    I actually just dealt with this for the first time tonight, and I'm fairly sure it had to do with a mixture of swallowing air and the strength of the liquid I was using. Nicotine seems to trigger a throat tickle for me, which normally doesn't do anything, but this time around I started...

    Colored 808 cartos?

    Yeah, I actually have a site selling unmarked tube-style wraps bookmarked, but it gets annoying applying them every time I change to a fresh carto. Might do that as well just to save on costs, plus as some have pointed out on the LR Halos only being black..easy enough to cut a thin strip and...

    Diy altoids tin mods

    Also not a bad external site with a fairly simple VV mod that can be shoe-horned into an Altoids tin if you change the power source to a 14500 or similar with proper overcurrent/undervoltage protection: Introducing the New Puck "MVP" and Tutorial - The PUCK e-Cig Mods

    Do you freak out?

    Before I started DIYing, yes, I'd definitely re-order at around 10ml total of remaining liquids. Now that I mix my own, not as big a deal, I have a fairly large jar of nic base and keep at least three or four flavors I like around at all times, plus stuff I'm experimenting with, so worst case...

    What was your first DIY flavor and how did it turn out?

    Made two at the same time, a 100% PG clove flavor, and an 80/20 menthol, both turned out remarkably good in my opinion, but those are hard to screw up if you ask me. Eventually changed to 60/40 on the clove flavor for an ADV since I wasn't getting anywhere near as much vapor as I wanted. Some...

    New..

    I had a burned wick on mine from vaping butterscotch at too high a wattage, just washed in hot water and let it dry overnight and I was good to go, YMMV.
