    The BEAST is here NOW- Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah Battery for your eVic, eGo-T mod and others!

    Granted, I'm still learning about these batteries, but it has also been my impression that high capacity batteries are more suited to lower amperage applications. I don't fully understand C ratings, but I saw a chart once that listed max current on the AW IMR and Panasonic hybrids at 10amps and...

    The BEAST is here NOW- Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah Battery for your eVic, eGo-T mod and others!

    My question may have been misstated or misunderstood. Each battery has its own discharge characteristics and two batteries with the same capacity can utilize it differently across their voltage range. Many batteries hit around 3.2 volts remaining charge and then drop like a rock. This one still...

    The BEAST is here NOW- Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mah Battery for your eVic, eGo-T mod and others!

    Does anyone know how these compare to vape time with the evic Samsung battery? I would LOVE 3400mah, but my understanding with these is that the higher capacity is created by the fact that the battery itself can be safely discharged to 2.5v. This isn't practical in ecig applications, which I...

    Ikenvape- OUTSTANDING Service!

    I recently purchased some 801 fusion cartos and adapter from Ikenvape. When it arrived, I filled one and found a fantastic vape, but the adapter seemed to fit oddly, with the positive post protruding about a millimeter once attached to the carto. A day later, I found the connection on my Sigelei...

    I agree with this. I've never specifically checked product listings on Gotvapes for size specs, but as a general rule it could be a deal breaker for me. If I'm spending $50+ on an item I want to know the size and have the best idea possible of what I'm getting, not guessing. This is one area...

    Suggestions on the Website

    I wouldn't consider the site overly difficult to navigate and I've always found what I was looking for fairly quickly, but a few times I have found myself searching 2-3 categories before finding the right ones. I like the drilled down approach, but I find some of the categories confusing...

    What exactly is the problem with the Vivi Nova 2.5 ??

    Whenever I felt like the draw was too tight, it's usually th connection. I've not had one that is so tight even when not connected. They are certainly a different draw than a carto tank. Do all three feel the same? Maybe take out the head and replace the cap then check the draw? I've heard...

    What exactly is the problem with the Vivi Nova 2.5 ??

    Or, simply try it on another device like a Twist or Spinner if you have one and see if you get the same results. Both allow more than adequate airflow.

    What exactly is the problem with the Vivi Nova 2.5 ??

    +1 This was my thought. I don't own a Provari, but I seem to recall they can have problems with tanks that sit too flush. The OP did mention the draw being extremely tight, which would be consistent with lack of airflow. I'd suggest just tightening the tank enough to make contact and fire or...

    ViVi Mini TIGHT DRAW

    I've found that Vivi Mini's have a tighter draw than some of my other devices, but I don't like too airy a draw, so they suit my tastes well. It may just be the nature of the device and what you are comparing it to. I've read about increasing the size of the hole in the head to lighten the...

    VISION Sponsored Eternity Review Contest! Two Prizes to be given for Best Reviews

    I respect that Danno. I can't imagine in all honesty that Vision is too concerned with FTC regulations or GotVapes well-being. Gotta look out for yourself. In my humble (non-lawyer) opinion, it actually looks as though it would be REQUIRED that reviewers DO mention the contest and possibility...

    Is a "dry hit" actually dry?

    I agree with that as a general statement, however I think the saturation of the wicks is only part of the problem. I've gotten burnt hits from wicks that were thoroughly wet when inspected. There is also a continuum ranging from slightly burnt flavor to harsh, painful hits. For me, the Phoenix...

    Is a "dry hit" actually dry?

    So, I was experimenting with my e1 tonight and found something I found intriguing. For me, the e1 is plagued by what I would usually consider "dry hits"- harsh, scratchy, etc. I thought maybe it had to do with the seal around the cup or the fact that I found some sort of silicon plugging part...

    Introducing the E1 ReLOaD™ Replaceable 2.0ml 2.4ohm eGo Clearomizer in Clear and Sage Green

    I did some experimenting tonight. It got me thinking about what constitutes a "dry hit." I think I'm going to start a new thread to get some opinions on this.

    Introducing the E1 ReLOaD™ Replaceable 2.0ml 2.4ohm eGo Clearomizer in Clear and Sage Green

    I'm just not sure it can handle the wattage I'm throwing at it. I'm using a 70/30 blend and tilting- same as I do with my Vivis. When I took off the seal, the wicks looked good and wet. From what I could see it looked nearly identical to the Vivi coil/wick. My Vivis can handle the 9-10 watt...

    Introducing the E1 ReLOaD™ Replaceable 2.0ml 2.4ohm eGo Clearomizer in Clear and Sage Green

    Chris, don't be so quick to tell your customers to shop elsewhere; that type of attitude is why you get negative reviews in the first place. In all honesty, I like Gotvapes, but I'm hesitant to shop with you again after reading your posts in other forums. I say that's a nono and if you don't...

    Introducing the E1 ReLOaD™ Replaceable 2.0ml 2.4ohm eGo Clearomizer in Clear and Sage Green

    Briar, what voltage and juice type are you using with your E1? Have you modded it at all? I LOVE the appearance of mine on my stainless Ego and was really hoping it would perform closer to the Vivi Minis, but I just keep getting dry hits and burning silicon flavor. If I could get the Vivi...

    Introducing the E1 ReLOaD™ Replaceable 2.0ml 2.4ohm eGo Clearomizer in Clear and Sage Green

    I'd have to humbly disagree with you there Briar. We're talking orders of 50 to upwards of hundreds of units. We've had other discussions about the generally abysmal levels of quality control coming out of China in general and the e-cig industry in particular. Knowing that, I think it's more...

    Introducing the E1 ReLOaD™ Replaceable 2.0ml 2.4ohm eGo Clearomizer in Clear and Sage Green

    Came here today after my e1 arrived. Reading this thread is painful... I'm glad I didn't order any replacement stems. I don't know how many of the wrong stems were sent out, but it would have been easy enough to spot. This makes 2 items in a few weeks that were sent out to tons of customers...

    Former American Spirit smoker, about to make the switch in one giant swoop... feedback would be appreciated

    Pretty well summarizes the last four of my first 8 months of vaping. It'd be hard not to find a workable combination or two or three in that list. It'd be a good way to go "all in."
