    What are your favorite liquid sites and flavors?

    First, Alien Vision E-Juice - Hype. Finding AVE, with the quality of their juice, made it possible for me to make the switch to vaping. Gorilla Juice and Boba's Bounty were almost my exclusive juices for my first few months of vaping and become burned-out on them, was thinking this morning about...

    What do you suggest to a newbie? Clearo, carto, drip, other?

    My experience has been that Smok cartos are just better than Boges. What I don't like about Boges... The Boges that I have used, have had a very dense filler material, so dense that it doesn't absorb juice very well, if at all; Like pouring water on a brick. If you are patient enough, and it...

    Noob needs help!

    As for... 1. With a 5 volt device you should be using higher resistance heads/cartomizers/attomizers. Something around 3.0 to 3.2 ohms would likely be a better choice. How much time/use you can realize from any head/carto/atty before it needs to cleaned or replaced will vary by juice juice...

    What do you suggest to a newbie? Clearo, carto, drip, other?

    My advice for any beginner would be cartos, and if you are vaping thinner juices Boge cartos may be ok, though the better choice would be Smok cartos, and they would be a must have for thicker juices. Cartos, if they are filled correctly, are the easiest way to get started, they are more...

    Kanger pro tank problems

    I got my my first T3 a week or so back. Vaped one full tank of Tennessee Cured (100% VG)with no problems, not even a hint of flooding/gurgling as the tank became nearly empty. Refilled the tank with TC and it immediately leaked/gurgled constantly from that point forward. Finally washed/cleaned...

    bought 3 juices and i dislike them all

    Hey AngelsBreath, My order from HHV was... Mocha Java Smooth, Tuscan Cocoa, Bah-In, Heavenly Army, Caramel Cappuccino, and Legend. Like I said, I have only dripped a little of each, but I can honestly say that none of them are bad, at this point anyway. And, I'm thinking that the Tuscan...

    bought 3 juices and i dislike them all

    Like the others have said, you have to keep looking, finding the right juice is the holy grail. I'm usually not a fan of peach flavors in anything other than an actual peach, but Hype from Alien Vision E-Juice has become one of my favorite juices, along with Tennessee Cured from Johnson Creek...

    first go at carto tanks

    Long live Smok cartos! When I first started in all of this in 2011 I read a bunch of reviews, opinions, whatever you want to call them, about how great were Boge cartos. So I bought a couple of dozen, the absolute most terrible purchase of my vaping life. Rocks don't absorb liquid, to any great...

    Protection Circuit testing help

    Okay, I know this is off topic, and I apologize in advance. But the discussion in this thread brought something to mind that occurred when I first started working as an Electronic Tech way, way back in '79. Like all new Techs at the company where I worked, I started working part-time while I...

    I have no idea what I am doing! HELP!!

    Okay, in consideration of all of the other posts, I know that I am in the minority, but I think it is easier for beginners to learn about all of this using cartomizers. Just be sure to get them fully saturated, on the initial fill especially, and keep them wet to prevent burning. And, if using...

    Using T3s or EVODs with Alpha

    As I have never used an Alpha I can not be specific to that device. I can however tell you that I have just started using a T3 on my VV Gripper with a 510/Ego adapter, and I love it. By far the best clearo I have used so far.

    whats the best cleromizer so far?

    Got my first T3 on Monday afternoon and have hardly put it down. Wanted to try this before going for the Pro Tank, and with the success of this device so far, I definitely see a Pro Tank in my immediate future. The T3 is many times better than the other older generation clearos I have tried, in...

    I got FRAUD-CHARGE on my Credit Card too >>>

    Thanks for the input. I've done some reading about this online already and found cards similar to Serve, I really needed to order juice ASAP and didn't want to extend the process in longer than necessary waiting on things to come in the mail. Got most of my juice in yesterday's vape mail, still...

    I got FRAUD-CHARGE on my Credit Card too >>>

    I picked up an American Express card at Target, they have various denominations available, $100, $50, and $25 (I think, might have been $20). The fee for the card is paid at the time of purchase, $6 on the 100 dollar card, and $5 on the 50, I didn't check the fee on the lower priced card...

    I got FRAUD-CHARGE on my Credit Card too >>>

    My card was hit within days of my most recent purchase at Discount Vapers, my last purchase prior to that had been several weeks in the past, and the charges hit card a few days before my next purchase at MadVapes. I am not blaming anyone at DV, I am listing the vendor name because I would...

    Placed my first order with MBV last night, and hoping this stuff is good as I am attracted to their pricing on the 236 ml bottles. My order included - 15 ml of Bananas Gone Nuts, 15 ml of Caramel Candy, 15 ml of Ecto Cooler, and 15 ml of Hawk Sauce. I also ordered a Kanger T3 (my first) and a...

    Johnson Creek Smoke Juice

    Hey Mark, The perfect "just like tobacco" juice doesn't exist, the whole vaping vs smoking process is so different that it can't exist, in my opinion anyway. Like most of us, I too searched for something that would replicate smoking before realizing that what I really needed was just a juice...
