    Random Acts of Vaping Kindness

    Thought I'd chime in from the opposite side of the line, I hate taking charity from anyone, even if it's not really charity, but I'm always more than willing to give.. GF's brother was trying to quit smoking, found out he'd tried cigalikes and they just weren't cutting it. He got a package...

    New here/Looking for a particular ecig

    I would very highly recommend the Nanos, they're all I use on my 808 cigalikes, including the Volts. Actually got a purple with matching led here that I'd have sent you with a charger, but looks like you already ordered! I'm quite confident that your SO will enjoy them, though depending on the...

    Ego-C Twist 1000mAh charge time?

    Ah, fair enough. To answer your question I have not opened any of the 'bare-bones' Chinese chargers for this stuff, the only wall-warts I buy are genuine, name-brand gear from cellular supply shops, or other reputable electronics dealers. Far too worried about what I'd find in a cheap one...

    Problem With Pro Tank

    If you want to tighten the draw up, some have recommended using Evod heads (good luck finding 'em though), or breaking off bits of toothpick in the bottom air holes. While it's not a perfect solution, and looks ugly as sin depending how you do it, I found you can use black electrical tape or...

    Ego-C Twist 1000mAh charge time?

    Some dual-voltage wall warts will only show specs for 220v on them ;) I have a few from reputable name-brand companies for phones/etc that only show their maximum ratings, which are 220v@whatever amperage, yet they work on 110v outlets at the same amps just fine, tested with a variety of meters...

    Ego-C Twist 1000mAh charge time?

    I just had my own issues with my first Twist the other night, I found it only charged for like..five or ten minutes before going green and it was still dead or close to it.. What I ended up doing was popping it off the charger (standard eGo 420) and turning the voltage setting on the Twist all...

    so I now know what cracking a tank is...LOL

    It can stain same as anything else, I got some LorAnns Natural Cherry on a white t-shirt while DIYing and the stain didn't rinse out with cold water. Haven't washed it yet but I'm betting it'll stick around a while, if not permanently. Anything with a strong color component to it should be...

    dumping juice?

    If I've gone through more than say, half a tank of something, and just want to switch it up, I tend to pour the excess into a separate, glass bottle (it's the only glass one I have, making it easy to ID) as opposed to risking contaminating the original bottle with juice that might have possibly...

    New adopter here! Pack and a half to 0 in 12 hours.

    Tips and tricks, since that looks like a CE4 clearo, would be making sure to tilt/twirl your device when the liquid starts running lower in the tank. That way you keep the wicks saturated with juice and don't get burnt hits. Nothing at all wrong with the setup, but if you find the twirling...

    Kanthal popping

    I actually had a similar issue with my first Evod rebuild as well, didn't pop the coil but I blew out a battery..coil ohmed fine at 2ohm, no shorts, installed, fired, the coil worked..so I figured I was good to go, popped flavor wick on, put a tank of juice on it, hit the button and the entire...

    Lowering Nicotine Strength with Goal of Zero Nicotine

    Definitely a matter of the individual paying attention to their own cravings. My experience stepping down was more of a 'let me see if I can get by on a lower strength', and if I felt I wasn't satisfied, I'd keep at it for another day or so, if it still wasn't working I'd either step back up...

    Looking for a hookah-like mod

    Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with a Vamo V2/V3 and a good delivery mechanism like a Kanger Evod or a good carto-tank. Normally I'd also suggest a Kanger Protank, but I've found vapor production on that tends to need a perfect storm of a good juice, proper coils, etc. It's not a slouch, but...

    Lowering Nicotine Strength with Goal of Zero Nicotine

    This isn't always true of everyone. I can and will enjoy the rare clove cigarette even after three months of vaping non-tobacco flavors, and it's just as delicious as when I first started smoking. Was cig-free for about two months, taste buds were back in full swing, lit one up at a concert...

    Simple recipes

    Here's a fairly simple one I came up with out of the blue tonight, and the actual taste I got from it shocked me enough that I chain-vaped it to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.. 5% LorAnn Toffee 2% TFA Sweet Cream Forget the other numbers but I only made 10ml at 12mg, you can adjust the...

    So bummed

    If you want to buy within the US, Mt. Baker Vapor should still be running a 30% off on all eGo/Joye products, believe they have Twists in stock. As far as the Protank mini, don't recall where I last saw them in stock, try MyFreedomSmokes, was browsing there the other night and think they may...

    Not sure about this

    I was a very light/social smoker towards the end when I picked up vaping, and even at one or two cigs a night I found myself using 24mg and then 30mg once I got into DIY (almost immediately) before I really killed the cravings. Three months later and I'm using 6-12 comfortably, and 12 is a bit...

    first day of vaping report

    What kind of tank do you have? Generally I just clean mine in hot water, with a bottom-coil like a Protank or Evod you can unscrew the base, rinse the tank, give the wick a rinse if you really want, then immediately refill and have a new flavor..with a top-coil it really depends on the design...

    Looking for an upgrade from the volt

    Mt. Baker is still running their closeout on Joye gear I believe, including eGos, and I think I saw a Twist in there last time I looked. Otherwise I know for sure MyFreedomSmokes has them, only about $25 for a battery, charger is another $4, get a Davide Mini when they're back in stock (similar...

    Protank mini

    Fasttech still has them, if you don't mind waiting a couple extra days for shipping. I'm running a five-pack I got off there and none have any issues as far as I can tell, no hot spots, no leaks, they fit genuine Evod/PT bases just fine too.
