    iTaste = iWasted My Money

    What is the battery life of the itaste with very heavy vaping? Concerned since battery isn't serviceable. Also, is the KGO the same type of battery as the itaste (Li- polymer) or is it just a lithium ion? I'll be needing to make a purchase soon. Does one just buy another itaste kit when the...

    How can I get longer battery life?

    Well, from what I've read it sounds like when the start to not stay charged as long its getting close to the time to replace them. I just have the Kgo (Ego-style) so I don't know about the 18650's. Today I timed it and one battery took 5 hrs to charge, just as my other fully charged battery...

    Why don't they put Check Valves on cartos?

    Mainly, my Smoktech DCT 2.5 ml Tank, When I added holes, juice leaked all over from the bottom of the carto. I've had the problem with some regular cartos, too, if over-filled. Just seems like some sort of one-way air flow would help with how they worked.

    Why don't they put Check Valves on cartos?

    Wouldn't putting tiny check valves on a cartos help with the dripping issue? Why don't manufacturers do it. I'm just new but seems like cartos could be designed a little better.

    Best Variable Volage Passthrough without battery

    Do most people need 6 volts? What's the max most (experienced) people vape at? Comparing the SLB KGO VV pass-through to the: Joyetech Twist 1000 mah Twist (goes to 4.8 volts) - $31.99 Joyetech logo Joye eGo-C Twist Variable Voltage 1000mAh battery

    Smoketech 510 5ml Dual Coil Tank (DCT) Leaks

    I think its poorly designed. No way customers should have to be punching/slotting the cartos. And even if you do, your next juice may be thicker or thinner. Not to mention you have to fill it up to try it only to find it either leaking all over or not wetting the carto. I may try the ViVi...

    How can I get longer battery life?

    I don't know yet if I like/need dual coils. I'm still too new to this. But its been recommended to me that my next step would be the Twist, but I can't afford a $25-30 battery every week along with all the other stuff. So a 900 or 1000 pass through with a battery (why would one not want the...

    Can an 18 volt battery be used for a PV?

    Newbie here. This may be stupid but, Is there a reason someone couldn't make a big mod using an 18 volt rechargeable battery. The reason I ask is that I have a Hoover Lynx upright vacuum. The battery puts out power like my KGO w/o any loss, when it does run low it just shuts off like my KGO...

    eGo-V Variable Voltage Battery/Passthrough

    What part do mean by the "center pin"? Newbie and I just got a SLB KGO 1100mah and want to get a passthrough and try variable volt. Does the SLB VV use 510 connections? If so, where is there a pin?

    Same here, but with a battery. Any reason why you would want a battery in it?

    SmokTech DCT review

    Newbie here. Disappointed in the 2 tanks I've tried. Problem with this one is it design flaws: The hole feeding liquid into the cartomizer is too small. Many people punch additional holes, enlarge the hole or cut slots in the cartomizers. This concept will never work since the viscosity of...

    Smoketech 510 5ml Dual Coil Tank (DCT) Leaks

    It costs as much as the tank! I see they have a plastic version for less ($7.99, I think). Something else to buy.:(

    What's better

    JBox is beautiful. The screwdriver is a big turn off for me. I liked the Darwin for the automatic adjustment and the itaste for the simple up/down buttons. I think I will take your advice and pick up a Twist when I need a new battery and give it a try. Maybe by then I'll have either quit...

    Smoketech 510 5ml Dual Coil Tank (DCT) Leaks

    Wow, thank you Baditude for the instructions! I think I flooded the cartomizer, I didn't know about the tool and I already noticed a tiny bit of the "o" ring seal on the cart when I pushed it through. I think they should have put in a more flexible rubber than the hard plastic. The good news...

    What's better

    That's why I was looking here. But the Darwin isn't quite where I want it to be yet, let alone if one can even buy one. Are the Provari and/or Darwin the best that's available? Please someone let me know if a really great PV comes along for <$300. Though work still needs to be done on...
