    Heads up....FreedomSmokeUSA

    As a Pharmacist I have to say, there is a big difference in supplying a flavoring additive to food grade material intended for oral comsuption & a flavoring additive intended for direct inhalation into pulmonary tissue. Although, as a vaper myself, I do not want to see vaping banned, as a...

    The PERFECT Battery Pack Mod

    I did the math on the total cost of all the components(considering the 1600mAh AW18650 and a quantity of 100 units purchased of each of the smaller parts - which seemed reasonable if your making large quantities of the final product) and came up with a total parts cost of $55.60 per unit. Not...

    Bartleby PV review

    I bought mine a few months ago and use it all the time, it is one of my favorite devices. However, I was noticing the EXACT same thing you were(the unbelievably short charge time) & thought there was NO way it could possibly be recharging a 14500 that fast. Here's what I found; initially(the 1st...

    The PERFECT Battery Pack Mod

    Beautiful Chev; Looks slick and high tech and seems that it is relatively simple to mod. Also, you left the original capabilities intact(so you could still use this to power your ipod while vaping). I would love to see a step by step. Also, it would appear very easy to swap out to fresh 18650's...

    Refill War: Cartomizer vs. Cartridge - weigh in and throw down

    Tried cartos for the 1st time a few days ago. Something about the flavor was just, not there. I've been using a 510 atty system(on several different mods at different voltages) for almost a year now(10 months+). With the spring mod, I can get up to 2 hours full flavor/full vapor vaping on a...

    American Heartless Association

    It appears "Harm Reduction" is not a phrase that is understood or accepted by any bureaucratic organization in the USA. The quit or die mentality that pervades this country, with all "vice" substances or activities(not just nicotine), is something I'll never get my brain around. Sam Harris in...

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    Unfortunately, those aren't my video's(they are the VT's video's); I copied and pasted them to this forum from the VT website when I initially purchased the device. Believe me, if I had the ability to edit my OP(or the VT video's , for that matter) I would.

    SB-PT in stock or preorder ?

    I asked the exact same question in another thread(about the aluminum positive contact on my SB) It's good to know I can still order the PT(which I just did). I ordered the spacers as well(they were only $1) but is there a possibilty that the PT will work on the aluminum contact without the...

    Vaprlife VP passthru extended impression

    I was the OP who initially wrote a fairly good review on the Vaprlife VP Passthru, which I purchased from VaporTalkStore.com(also sold at Vaprlife.com and Dietsmokes.com). Although, my initial impressions were correct, the longevity of this device as well as the, newly discovered, build...

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    Unfortunately, I can't as after 48 hours, ECF does not allow editing or , believe me I would have already had. P.S. Ok, I just partially remedied that situation. Thanks for the suggestion Quick1.

    SB Hot Spring & PT

    Rob or Chad: I just saw the SB passthru description on the site and it says it will NOT work with the "older" SB's with the aluminum Positive battery contact. I have the SB V1.1(which I thought was the "newer" version) but mine still has the aluminum(not copper) positive contact. Does this mean...

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    Looks like there's a small chip that the switch sits on(but its' definitely the same switch) the chip is just a cheap resistor that the LED is attached to. The LED sits on the the opposite side from the atty(so it can show through the white plastic housing). The atty connector is epoxied to the...

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    Now I just got an email from Vaprlife saying "shame on me" for posting my previous post and they will no longer do business with me based upon a post in a public forum. OH NO!!!!!!!!! Your not gonna let me pay you $40 to "fix" my $6 PT that dangerously failed. I will now , unfortunately, have...

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    I just learned a powerful lesson a minute ago. This will be the last time I pay any kind of premium for "USA made" junk. Prompted by WillyB's switch post, I just took apart my malfunctioning $80 Vaprlife VP PT. Dietsmoke's, Vaprlife and Vaportalkstore; you should all be ashamed of yourselves...

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    Yup, that's it!!! Obviously sold at madvapes.com. Thank you. Do you know how to service this particular unit(i.e. take it apart and replace the switch)??? Any info would help as I'm not about to fork over $40 for a ,I'm guessing $2 switch. Thanks again.

    Sweet NEW Passthru(Vaprlife VP passthru)

    Both Chris at Vaportalkstore and Jeso at Vaprlife have hung me out to dry. $40+ altogether(with shipping to and from Vaprlife) for a repair, no alternative. Doesn't matter, apparently if it's one day after warranty. I'll be going a different route. Also, I withdraw my approval for this product...
