    P.S. I know I've posted this somewhere else in the forums, but I'll put it here again just for your convenience. My video review of the Volt.

    I'll jump in there since I've still got this thread open, lol. The Volt is the exact same kit as the Bloog Maxxfusion, only cheaper. It's a KR808D-1 kit, with horizontal coil non-burny cartomizers and the hard-hitting regulated battery. It's head & shoulders above my first proper kit when I...

    Welcome jordangoody. I've vaped a bunch of e-cigs and made a lot of mods myself. When SmokelessImage asked me to try a Volt, I was extremely skeptical, like the above poster. But after using the Volt, that's all I'm using right now. It's a great solid vapor producer with great taste, the...

    xhale 02 threading?

    I agree with dormouse, probably M402 but just as probably not worth chasing. For sure you'd have to find some sort of adaptor for it, madvapes and goodprophets sell all sorts of adaptors. But I was in your same shoes when I first started, yep, got the Xhale02 as my first kit, just to see what...

    As I said in my Volt video review, I've tried all pg, all vg, and various pg/vg mixed juices in Volt cartomizers and everything works just fine. So pg/vg isn't an issue. And if you stick with Volt pre-filled cartomizers, and the juices SmokelessImage will be selling soon, obviously you're home...

    I've been asked many times for a design for a vv passthrough and I'll write here what I tell them and try to keep it as non-technical as I can. Bottom line, it's not possible. USB delivers 5V. The electronics to make variable-voltage needs at least 1.5V over the voltage desired to be able to...

    I agree with what's been said already, overfilled cartos or didn't charge the batteries before using, or if she's already refilled it a bunch of times it could need cleaning, or being used to another pv and trying to suck too hard. I have not tried the unscrewing the threads slightly on the...

    Welcome Res!! One mistake I made in my early vaping days, way before the Volt, was running down 2-3 batteries at a time before getting any of them onto a charger and at that time, I could only charge one battery at a time. What I learned was that I would eventually be sitting around...

    In my Volt review video, I show vaping on short Ego batts, the long Ego batts of 1000mAh or so, my 18650 mod, and my vv mod. The closest I found the Volt cartos vaped and tasted the same as on a Volt battery were: Momma bear - the long Ego batt, not quite up to the same with this. Poppa...

    If you are happy with what you have, why switch? If you're not, if you're using atomizers with carts (I do not like using atties with little messy liquid-filled carts on them), or any sort of fiber-filled burny-type of cartomizers, the Volt would be an improvement on your current system. I do...

    Cartomizer OHMS and Votage Matchup

    It's the wattage at the coil(s) that make the heat that vaporizes the juice. So what you're currently vaping is 3.7V/1.5ohms = 2.5A. 2.5A x 3.7V = 9.25Watts. So, if you want exactly the same experience on your 5V GLV, it would be 9.25Watts/5V = 1.85A then 5V/1.85A = 2.7ohm cartos. Then...

    Hey Imagine, is it okay if I put this video here? It's a little vid I whipped up to show how to refill the cartos and etc. If you'd rather I not put my Volt vids here, just let me know.

    LOL! Ya know, back when I started building mods, it was because that was the only way to really get a reasonably priced great vape. But now, my mods are collecting dust because I did the BOLT TO VOLT!!! And that's all anyone needs to know now. No one has to become a master of ohms, volts...

    I read that differently than you do starsong. I read it as Standard batteries are 150mAh, the Volt's are 220mAh, so enjoy the extra battery life. And yes, the first old-style automatic batteries from like 2009, were 150mAh, and some rip-off companies still sell ones that low.

    Volt! questions from potential vaper

    First of all, congratulations that you've decided to try an e-cig and see if it will help you quit smoking. That's the first huge step. Here's my take at your questions: 1. If I were you, I would not wait for the longer batteries. One very nifty thing about these smaller batteries is...

    E-liquid stores in San Antonio, TX.

    Oh you are way out in the sticks, down on the Mexico border, hundreds of miles from e-cig civilization. The closest possibility to where you might find anything is San Antonio, about 250 miles north of you. And yes, I see they have a Planet K in San Antonio like Lagster posted and several...

    SmokelessImage Volt Review - The Chainsaw Test??

    So true, now I'm spoiled by this automatic battery. Right now I'm typing and vaping hands-free, just like I did back in my bad-ole smoking days, lol. Plus, I've been wondering how pushing that little button could lead to RSI, repetative stress injury? 'Cause when you're not a spring chicken...

    where can I get a small VV 510 pass thru?

    I saw a Radio Shack wall charger that lets you select the volts, has a USB connection option, and puts out good enough amps. Plug a plain 5V passthrough into it and select the voltage you want at the wall charger. That would be the only way I can think of to get there. A vv passthrough mod...

    How to test the voltage on a mod?

    I agree with JWebb about the assembled voltage display from madvapes, if your mod is 510. The great thing about this is that you can screw it into your mod, then screw on an atty/carto into it and see what the voltage is under the load of your atty/carto. Measuring a battery without the load...
