    Different vendors, one juice has a chemical taste that hurts my mouth?

    Steeping is letting the contents mix together as I gather. Shake them vigorously at least once a day. I love IVapes Carolina Crush and the wife likes their Chai Tea. Just wished they sold in larger bottles. It seems that one of the hardest thing for new vapor's to find is their go-to all-day...

    I just got ripped off?

    I see those kits for sale at gun shows all the time. I've even looked them over and decided that they were sub-par with anything else I've seen at a gas station. The cartos were all wet inside the plastic wrapper and was the first clue as to their quality. You might get some mileage out of...

    Volt meter

    You all may be right! I could have sworn I've seen them used in video's on ego/riva types. Oh well lesson learned. Thanks to you all!

    The Lip Ripper - A Homemade 5V Passthrough and How To

    You should be able to get the "T" at any hardware store. One other thing you will need is a 2 amp wall adapter, MV has them. Don't plug this into your computer port folks! Is there any concern on the brass? Otherwise a good build your own! Thanks for sharing!

    Passthrough Question from a NewB

    I find that my current batt system does not venture far from my hand. I have a 5v pt with a tank on it by my recliner. But I also find I don't use it as much as I thought i would. Might just be the tether to the wall thing. I also don't find it any more satisfying than my other systems at...

    The bus came by, and I got on!

    I love the Grateful Dead! Fitting title for me! Smoked for 45 years. I was at one time a 3 PAD smoker, but whittled it down to about 1 1/2PAD before I decided to do something different. Being retired military I had many opportunities to go to smoking cessation classes (5 times) and have done...

    Looking to get back into vaping..Which Device?

    I consider tanks a very good inexpensive mod. Whether you go dual or single coil is a preference. I like the 3.5ml one and use it all day at work. I'm in an environment where stealth vaping is easy. I am currently trying to decipher the 3.2 to 3.7 to 5.0V variances to see what will work best...

    Volt meter

    I recently purchased a 510/510 volt meter from a well known vendor. I tried it on ego/riva 650/900/1100 mAh & a usb 5v pass through. The lights just flash and don't display a voltage. I asked the vendor and their reply was that it won't work on ego or passthrough. I haven't found a...

    New Vaper Status Update

    PG=Flavor + TH, VG=Vapor. Glad your systems are working for you. It's always nice to hear that! I'm new to this too, and sometimes wonder how the folks a couple of years ago endured without all the options that are available today.

    I need a new e-cig

    Many different choices out there. KGo, Ego, I suggest an eGo T. Tanks hold about 1 ml, You can get them in 650/900/100mAh batteries. Buy some Boge 2.0 cartomizers and a drip tip. And some juice and your set.

    is my coil burnt?

    One of the reasons you smoked the brand of analogs was the taste. When you become a vaper, the flavor world opens up to many things. Don't short-change yourself on disposable things. Toss it and try a new one. I've read many posts where folks take some tweaking to get the volts + Ohms right...

    Is my E-cig safe?

    Your kit is safe, I can attest to that after many weeks of hard use. The story that was reported by the media was not complete. Unfortunate for the person it happened to. Probably caused by many things. But notice there hasn't been a follow-up story? He might have Big Tobacco Lawyers...

    Top Feed v Bottom Feed - cagematch!

    Thanks Six! I think I've seen a bottom feed bottle like you described. I have 3 atomizers that are shaped like a normal cartomizer that have a restrictive as all get out draw. That is one big reason for me not to go to that type mod. The eGo T atomizers I have (4 cone shaped) all draw as easy...

    Top Feed v Bottom Feed - cagematch!

    I also get confused on feeders. The only one that I find is a top feeder is this one from Super T; Super T Manufacturing, Innovative manufacturer of electronic cigarette products. What I think is a bottom feeder is one that pumps the juice into the well where the atomiser and battery connect...

    brain boggled again

    Its all messier than smoking analogs. But it doesn't have to be. I'm not familiar with your batteries or cartos. But there is nothing wrong with diluting your mixes with a little distilled water. If you dilute with grain alcohol, there might be an increased TH. I'd rather drink that than...

    New Variable Voltage Ego Batt ---- Love it

    Do you use the standard ego charger for these?

    First Post with some question.

    Taste is way subjective. I read posts on here stating the cuban cigar flavor is very close to analogs. Never tried it myself tho. Another factor to consider is carto ohms and voltage. Read there too that a standard range carto on 5 volts makes for good throat hit and taste. I'm giving that...
