    My husband's eGo exploded!

    Can you take a picture of the 510 connnector side of the ego top part? I'm trying to see if there's anything obviously shorted together at the connector. And I know they would be huge, but full-size pics of the close-ups of both connectors might help. There doesn't appear to be a short on the...

    My husband's eGo exploded!

    I'm so sorry for you guys, glad to know no one was hurt. I agree with a lot that has been written here, that it could be faulty battery, faulty or wrong charger, or I see no one has mentioned not screwing batteries onto atties/cartos or onto chargers really hard, we have to take great care to...

    Regarding ECF Safety Specification For Metal Tube Mods

    I receive ecigs and mods from vendors wanting me to do a video review. The first thing I do is look it over electrically and mechanically and if I find problems, I give the vendor a list of things that are problematic, to give them a chance to respond, e.g. we know about it and it will be fixed...

    Regarding ECF Safety Specification For Metal Tube Mods

    You hit it right on the head Roly. As an engineer with over 30 years experience I would like to add that in industry, a design must be minimum 100% over spec for safety if the thing is going to consumers or be used by the general public. E.g. if it's supposed to be good for 3Amps, it should be...

    hmmm...why wouldnt this work?

    Seems like it would work. I've fast-dried cartos with a hair dryer but I typically do the sit them out in the hot sun, but it's hot and dry where I live. I've also used the long ago talked about method of putting them inside a clean sock and spinning them dry with centrifugal force....oh, come...

    would these work

    Looks like it drops a lot of voltage across it, 2.75V loss. So, if you put two 3.7V batteries in series in it, so you'd have 7.4V, and you lose 2.75V right off the bat from the conversion, you will end up with 4.65V and go lower from there as the batteries deplete during use. Is that what you...

    The Lavatube is fine. But for the best safety and seeing everything in digital readout with superb control, the Darwin can't be beat.

    tornado c keeps leaking maybe time to upgrade?

    Like the other folks said, it's not your battery that's leaking, it's the tank. I second the Stardust - that's what they are called at Gotvapes, or at vendors like eSmoker they are called "Vision eGo 1.6ml Clearomizer" If you are thinking of going to a battery mod, consider that you will...

    Tanks and Kanger's ?

    Could it be your battery(ies)? If your using something like an ego/kgo/riva/etc then your battery might just be underpowered. But if you are using a battery mod, are your batteries new? If the batteries are getting near the end of their lifetime, they can sometimes be great for a little bit...

    SteelJan video: Ecig Adapter Usage & Safety

    Lately I've had a lot of questions about using ecig adapters, making one threading of cartomizer/atomizer work with a different threaded battery. So I decided to make a video to show what is the best way to use adapters and avoid shorting issues. Hope this helps. Oh, and yeah, I disabled ads...

    I'd like to take this. I'd like to do an analysis and see why they are failing. If I find what's wrong and fix it, I'll send them back to you! I've never received a PIF before.
