    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    Ordered all of this last night, my first juice order in over a month. Hoping the MBV stuff is good as I am attracted to their pricing on the 236 ml bottles. From JC - 90 ml of Tennessee Cured! From HHV (my first order from them) - 15 ml of Legend, 15 ml of Mocha Java Smooth, 15 ml of Tuscan...

    Johnson Creek Smoke Juice

    Hey, I'll share a little love for JC, just ordered 90 ml of TC last night. Love this stuff, TC, along with Hype from AVE, are my typical day-in/day-out vapes. Placed my order about 10:00 PM last night, get to work this morning about 8:45 and I have an e-mail telling me my order has already been...

    Soldering a 510 battery connection?

    Vinny, Try soldering your wire to the inside of the connector, no problems getting it to slide through the hole and still have the hole tight enough to grip. Pre-tin (apply solder) the spot inside the connector where you want to solder the wire. Make sure that everything is clean and not...

    Soldering a 510 battery connection?

    Hoped this might help somebody, and glad it did. Kudo's for making the repair.

    Soldering a 510 battery connection?

    I've built 6 mods over the past few months, sealed 510 connectors from MV in each. I never take the connector apart. My usual method employs a pair of slip-joint pliers (opened to widest) to hold the connector, a rubber band wrapped around the handle of the pliers, and a soldering iron around...

    looking for a good peach!!!!!

    Try Hype from AVE, I love it, and it is very forgiving for use in cartos. Hype is 90/10 VG to PG. Really, really a good juice.

    Box Mods?

    "Are there any vendors that make box mods that use standard type batteries? That would be cool for emergencies" These are "Puck" mods, or Puck-type mods, they use NiMH batteries that are available almost everywhere. I don't know of any vendors that sell Pucks, though there may be some, but they...

    Box Mods?

    1. Bigger batteries than cig-a-likes. Depending on the battery you use, several hours to a day or more of vaping on one charge 2. Easy and inexpensive to make yourself with parts you can get almost anywhere - except the atomizer/carto connector, but still multiple vendors available for these...

    Another cartomizer question

    It should fit with no problem. A 510 will fit as well.

    My name is Dave and I'm a cartoholic

    For me a good carto... my fav juice... that's it! Tried all of the other stuff, except a RDA, and keep coming back to cartos. I am curious to try the RDA though, it it ever gets here.

    Cartomizers - What am I missing here?

    On a standard carto I typically get 36 to 40 drops in before it leaks. On the slightly larger XL cartos usually around 50 drops before leaking. My method for a standard size carto, condom fill from the connector end, about 16 drops, then dripping to complete the fill, i.e., until it leaks a...

    Cartomizers - What am I missing here?

    1.7, 2 or 2.5 Ohm, depending on your personal tastes. If your current cartos are 1.5 Ohm, that could be the source of your burning problem, as that would put them well beyond the 2 volts higher than ohm rule.

    Cartomizers - What am I missing here?

    Maybe it’s the cartos you have used. I’m about 18 months into vaping, cartos are my preferred delivery system at this point. I’ve done various generations/styles of clearomizers, carto tanks, and atty dripping. I always come back to cartos based on ease of use, no fuss/no muss for on the go...

    Very nice! How did you cut the rectangle for the display? I am planning a mod where I will need a similar cutout for the display, I have my own ideas on how to do this, just wondering about your process. Thanks!

    3.0 - 3.5 ohm 510/eGo Cartomizers

    I concur with Bad... "Chris, I'm guessing you might be a relatively newer vapor. It is common for new vapors to find vapor irritating to their throat and lungs, often resulting in either hard coughing or sore throat. This is common and in general will become less of a problem as your body...

    How to combat Vaper's Tongue

    As stated by others, drinking lots of water is a must, and I have found that not only alternating different juices throughout the day, but vaping a couple of dissimilar juices. As an example, my current regimen is Tennesse Cured and Hype as my primaries during the day, and Vanda and/or Bees...

    Delays with shipping?

    I've had this occur with MV before. On one order I checked the order status in the morning, their site showed it was still in processing, yet the mail carrier delivered my order that afternoon. I can't say this is typical, but it has happened, maybe you'll get a happy surprise like I did.

    Wood Box Mod Housing?

    I looked for the same thing when I first got the modding bug, still haven't built a wood mod yet, built many non-wood mods though. I did find this site and was able to locate some possible boxes for mods, but that was awhile ago, and I'm not sure what they have now. Unfinished Wood Boxes - Wood...
