    Provari vs Vamo, credits to gdeal and grimmtech

    I probably will get flamed by saying this but, no offense to anyone, comparing a $30 (on FastTech) - $60 (most U.S. retail) Vamo to a almost $200 Provari is like comparing a Ford Focus to a Mercedes-Benz. I just think that to say that a Porvari is "better" than a Vamo is pointless and...

    A $12 Ego? Reliability of FastTech Products / Is this a good intro level PV?

    Generally though, I do prefer to buy from US vendors if the price difference is not that big b/c: I want to put the $$ in the US economy ... heck we need that! Oversea shipping is expensive. FastTech ships free to you but I don't know their policy on return merchandise. If I have to pay to...

    A $12 Ego? Reliability of FastTech Products / Is this a good intro level PV?

    First of all, I have never bought from FastTech (thinking to get a Vamo from them later thought.) And, I am not advocating you to buy or not to buy from them. I want to comment on some questionable opinions in this and other threads in regard to vendors in China. As far as I know and I am...

    What is the trick to making the conversion?

    I have had troubles at the beginning also. Now, I can say I am 98% there. I still keep a pack of cig for the 2% of times when I am under a lot of stress. In retrospect, my troubles at the beginning was caused by me thinking and expecting too much. I means, I thought too much about how much I...

    New to e-cigs

    The eGo-C Twist / Vision Spinner is a lot bigger than a cigarette. With the clearomizer attached, the whole thing is like 7.5" long x a little thicker than 0.5" in diameter. By comparison, a King size cig is only a little longer than 3.25" x about a little thicker than 1/3 of an inch in...

    I think I broke my eGo-C Twist

    I figured that there is nothing to lose at this point so I just pulled the center pin out all the way. At first I think the wire would be soldered to the pin but it turns out that it's not. The wire is soldered to a piece of metal that runs horizontally across the tube. The pin will just make...

    I Do Apologize ...

    Last night I was bar hopping with my buddy and we ended up at this one bar which has the hookah/cigar/cigarette license. Everyone was smoking in there. After 15 min. I just couldn't bear the smoke and smell anymore and we left. This makes me realize that how much in the past I did affect other...

    I think I broke my eGo-C Twist

    I have a thread here about fixing a pushed down center pin on my eGo-C Twist: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/421000-any-tip-fixing-pushed-down-center-post-permanently.html After psoting on that thread and before I had the time to get a O ring, I noticed that the center...

    Any tip on fixing a pushed down center post, permanently?

    I'd rather to pay $1 dollar per to get a better device ... can't imagine fixing a spring to the battery will cost more than that.

    Any tip on fixing a pushed down center post, permanently?

    I have a couple. This is just 1 of them. *** FYI, the trick I posted in #17 here, works for a few times but it doesn't last. So, a trip to the hardware store tomorrow for the o ring. Anyway, there has to be a reason why they don't make the center pin spring-loaded. But what is the reason...

    Any tip on fixing a pushed down center post, permanently?

    It is a Twist. The cheapest I've seen is $23 + shipping. Hey, take a look at post #13 in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/132193-ego-battery-failure-how-fix-2.html. What Saerjin says there is similar to what I see in my battery. So, I pull up the pin...

    Any tip on fixing a pushed down center post, permanently?

    Got it. Don't have that on hand. Will get one on my next purchase (I wish we have B&M stores in my city!). And thank for the reminder of turning off the battery and to use non-conductive tool. But I think I will try the o-ring first b/c the adapter trick will add a length to the battery. Any...

    Any tip on fixing a pushed down center post, permanently?

    Yes, it's a eGo. If you are talking about a eGo thread cover, actually, I have tried that before but I think it's too late. I think the rubber "collar" that hold the center post in place has lost its stiffness now after repeated pulling on the post. So the small movement of unscrewing the...

    Any tip on fixing a pushed down center post, permanently?

    One odf my batteries has the center post pushed down a few times and now every time I switch tank/carto or screw in the USB charger, I have to pull it up. That is every time! It is becoming very annoying. Is there a way to fix it permanently?

    Dual Coil Atty and Safe Vaping Power

    You don't get burnt taste at this high wattage? How about the risk of blowing out the coil? The Safe Vaping Chart indicates that these are the risks of running at this high power. But it seems like you are saying that it's still safe, or, are these just the risks you are willing to take?
