    Greetings from Mexico, my first post

    Greetings Tocho from Mobile, Alabama. Good to see you here... I haven't gained or lost weight, but I have reduced my blood pressure from 148/90 to 118/70 over the past year-plus of vaping!

    Basic Mod Power Circuit Questions

    Seebs... nice switch and a good price, but, as is the case with all of the rocker switches I have been able to find, the thing is pretty large. I've seen smaller rockers in electronic devices, but damned if I can find just the switch to buy. If anybody out there has a source for smaller rockers...

    Ovale V8 repair

    As WillyB mentioned above make sure of continuity on all of the wires, especially to, and thru, the connecter, as well as to the PC board. Also verify that the center pin is not shorting to the outside of the connector after it is reinstalled. And, I would definitely resolder the black wire to...

    Ovale V8 repair

    I've never used one of these devices, much less tried to repair one, so I don't know how much good I can do for you. Some questions for you... What was your original problem, why did you take this apart in the first place? Were you getting an error code before opening the case? If so what was...

    Krave 401 V- No charger included, but...

    Not sure, but I think this is what you need. 401 USB Charger I buy from MadVapes regularly, shipping usually takes 3 to 4 days.

    Krave 401 V- No charger included, but...

    NO! If I am reading the information you provided correctly using this charger would not work. You need a charger made for this device, nothing but trouble if connect this combination of battery and charger!

    How many times can you recharge AAA batteries

    My recollection is around 300 give or take, but I could easily be wrong. I have two versions of the puck, both use AA rather than AAA batts, just didn't think the AAA would last long enough to satisfy me. One version I built uses a prescription pill bottle as the project box, and the other uses...

    EH Batteries

    It's not the wrapper that tends to peel off, it's the smaller, rectangular, silver-colored manufacturer's/distributor's label that wants to come off of some of the EH batteries (you can see pictures of the label on these batteries on MadVapes). On my 14500 batts, the heat shrink type wrapper is...

    New vaper from Alabama

    Welcome from a Vaper in Mobile. My recommendation for filling Boge Cartos is to replace them with Smok Tech Cartos, especially if you are using 100% VG. I've been vaping for over a year now, I typically use 100% VG juices, occasionally 90/10 VG to PG ratio. I've tried tanks, Vivi Novas, Clearos...

    EH Batteries

    I've used both the 14500 and 18650 batts as low 1.7 ohm, single coil cartos with no problems.

    EH Batteries

    I've used a couple of EH 14500 batts for a while now, they work good, don't last as long as my Trustfires or Ultrafires, but with a 1/3 less mAh I wouldn't expect that they would. I have less than a week of experience with EH 18650 batts, no issues to report. These are my first 18650 batts so I...

    Tips for extending battery life?

    I have never used this particular e-cig, though I have used some that are similar. You are pretty much stuck with short battery life using most any look-alike e-cig, just the nature of the beast, small batteries mean short vaping time. Most people start with this type of device. Many purchase...

    VV kit help

    You can get a complete, ready to use VV box mod at MV for 34.99. You can add a charger and a couple of 14500 batteries and still be around your $50.00 price tag. I bought and built the kit version last February and it is still going strong. I have used mine for months as my primary pv. I just...

    Please help me pick a battery for my 5v juicebox

    As I said, I am not an expert regarding these batteries. My statement was based solely on my anecdotal observations, and I do believe that the Ultrafire batts last longer in all of my mods, though the difference is marginal. Perhaps my judgement is victim to an unintended or unobserved bias of...

    Please help me pick a battery for my 5v juicebox

    Okay, I'm far from being an expert, but I have used all of the batteries you listed, and I have built several mods. I have each type in rotation on a daily basis for my simple 3.7V box mod, my MadVapes VV box, and a 3.7V dual, parallel 14500 box. As far as vaping power the Ultras are my...

    Charger no longer turns green. Dangerous to use?

    Never a bad idea to have extra chargers. The problem you have described could possibly be an indication of something dangerous... I'm always wary of Li-on batteries. The problem could also be your batteries are getting older and losing their ability to take a charge. Unlikely that both would...

    Help with Heatsink for MV VV Box Mod

    Thanks... been thinking about cutting and shaping one out of an old pie tin and sliding it in between the heatsink on the back of the regulator and the large contact patch on the pc board, with a little thermal grease.

    Help with Heatsink for MV VV Box Mod

    I'm about to build a new mod with a MadVapes VV board kit. I'm not yet sure what type of box I will be using, maybe an Altoids tin, maybe a little plastic project box, just not sure which way I want to go yet. I'm looking for some info on a heatsink for the voltage regulator. I have built...

    Safety

    I've been using a MV VV box mod that I put together for several months now. I vape until it stops because the batteries are low on charge, swap in a fresh set, put the drained batts in the charger, and keep on going. I have two sets of 14500 batteries that are dedicated to this mod and nothing...

    Best ecig that doesnt require to press a button

    MadVapes sells some auto box mods as well as an auto switch for making your own mods. I keep a charged 510 mega battery with me all the time that I only use when both hands are busy, like driving my van with hand controls. When both hands aren't so engaged I use my mods. This helps keep the 510...
