    What is your most trusted shop to order juice from?

    I'll enter a vote for Alien Visions E-Juice. Hype is the best liquid out there in my opinion, flavorful and lightly sweet, but not too much, no bad after taste, and not prone to inducing vapor's tongue. And, as an added bonus, it has to be the juice that is the most friendly to the coils in your...

    Protank Darkening E Juice

    A couple of posts mentioned getting a burned taste to their juice before they vaped the full tank, and really, this should not be happening. If you are starting with a clean tank and a clean coil/wick, and you are getting a burned taste before you have emptied the tank through normal vaping, it...

    PG/VG/Tank Question

    I vape 100% VG liquids in the Evod, T3 and Pro Tank with absolutely zero problems. You can lower the viscosity if you like by using distilled water very sparingly, though I have not found this to be necessary.

    New to the Mech/RDA world, need help/advice

    A couple of things come to mind in reading the posts in these multiple sub-ohm discussion threads... - The "Join Date" of the posters. Overwhelmingly, the posts promoting the merits of this sub-ohm madness, especially recommending this as something to be practiced by those inexperienced in...

    Squid RDA with Smoktech Winder Problems?

    The center pins (positive connectors) aren't making contact between your Winder and the Squid, this used to happen to me all the time when I first started vaping with 808 batteries and cartos. Not sure which of the devices is the problem in your case, though it is most likely the Winder, since...

    E-juice flavor question

    Not true as far as 100% VG juice having little to zero flavor, blatantly untrue. I am not a juice expert, and I don't DIY, however I have vaped a large volume of 100% (or as close as I can get depending on vendor) VG liquid over the past 18 months. I have had many different 100% VG juices from...

    Anyone see last nights NBC News story on e-cigs?(video link)

    I liked the segment overall, and that they showed something, however briefly, other than a standard cig-a-like. And, I would like to thank Dr. Lee (I think that was her name) for pointing out that nicotine is addictive, a firm grasp of the obvious, but in this case beside the point. My only...

    Unsafe Battery?

    It's cool man, I took it exactly as you intended, no muss, no fuss. I do know that I can come on a little strong some times, but heck that's what my friends love about me, you always no where I stand. :toast:

    Unsafe Battery?

    Yeah I know I was a little harsh, sorry if that offended anyone, merely trying to emphasize my point. It's just that I expect a little more professionalism from sales people in vaping stores than what you typically hear at the mall vaping kiosks. I had a similar experience in my local B&M shop a...

    Hand friendly

    2xAA Auto Box Mod with Red LED Please do not take this as an endorsement, but merely as an example of something that my work for your Mom. I have a similar box mod that I built almost two years ago and it still works great, though in all honesty, I rarely use it anymore, I did use it for quite...

    Unsafe Battery?

    As long as you, or someone else, have not modified either of these devices you are good to go. There is always the chance, no matter how small, that your device, or anyone's device, could malfunction and cause a problem, but honestly that chance is extremely small. On the other hand, I think it...

    Quality VV Battery?

    The Vamo/Pro Tank combo works great, I have no hesitation in recommending either, or both, of these devices. But to clear up some thing else, the heads, or coils, in any carto, atty, clearo, or whatever, have no power, they have resistance, they obstruct the flow of electric current, and in...

    A little intro, and a Question to anyone using a Puck mod...

    I believe that the 2 ohm carto is probably a little too low to use on your puck mod. I have built and extensively used a couple of similar 4 AA pucks, though it has been awhile since I have used either of them. When you hit the vape button on your mod the battery output voltage will drop by at...

    A couple of quick questions about 18650 batteries?

    I have used/experimented with a protected Li-on in my Vamo. I ended the experiment when, after a slight chain-vaping session, I could feel the battery getting warm through the stainless steel tube. It wasn't hot, hot mind you, but it was significantly warm, warmer than I was comfortable with...

    School me......getting tired of Ego-C problems

    I'll take a shot at offering some advice, though I will state up front that I have never been an Ego user; vaping from my friend's Ego once or twice is my full experience with that device. Kanger T3 or Evod clearos, or a Pro Tank, should work with your current batteries with no problems, I am a...

    Which coil ohm is best

    Yes, I believe that you correct, though I've never owned or vaped on one. But my post made no reference to adjusting the voltage to change the wattage of the vape, and only referenced how my tastes have changed. With fixed voltage you adjust the wattage of the vape by the selection of the...

    Which coil ohm is best

    Too subjective, only you can answer what works for you. When I first started I used 2.5 ohm cartos on a cig-a-like, and the vape was more than enough to satisfy my cravings. With those parameters I was vaping around 6.4 watts. Now, with a little time and vaping experience working for me, I like...

    Cartomizer

    Sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. As for your question about the VG liquid in the photo, I am afraid that I am just not the right person to ask, I have never done any DIY juice. I did notice in the photo that the writing on the bottle indicated that it was for application to the...
