    Unknown Clearomizer Leak?

    I have also found the Stardust clearomizers to leak, maybe a drop or two on the battery. I thought it was condensation dripping down the post, but was never sure. I recall seeing a youtube video by estarra with the theory that it might be the seal between the drip tip and the silicon cap isn't...

    My new young june vari-tube

    I've read a lot about this in other threads and seen discussiion in videos. Pbusardo does a youtube video on pulse width modulation that explains it in a way that's not too technical. From what I understand, it hits hotter because the calculation the chip uses to determine voltage is...

    My new young june vari-tube

    I have to 2nd this great suggestion. I just got a replacement for a chrome Lavatibe v2. The first one I had to send back because the 510 threads were too loose to hold anything. As I was playing with my replacement, I noticed the centerpin was really wobbly, but screwing in the Ego threaded...

    Ready for an upgrade... 510 kit isn't cutting it

    I progressed just as you did. Started with the Blus, Ego atomizer and cartridges (yeah, those suck), then a low resistance dripping atomizer. I am now on an Ego Twist, Vivi Nova minis for my on the go vaping, and a Phoneix rebuildable atomizer for dripping. I have settled on the Vivi Nova for...

    huge juice order, but only vivinova tanks!

    I used the BetterLife dripping atty from ValueVapor before I switched over to a Phoenix rebuildable. The BetterLife atty worked well and I vaped on it almost exclusively for a good 4 weeks before it died. BetterLife 510 3-Hole Dripping Atomizers (2.0-2.5 ohm) [BL510-3Hole] - $4.99 ...

    measuring resistance with digital multi meter

    I have a couple of cheap <$10 multimeters and they do the same thing. First hold the two leads tip to tip and see what the resistance of the wires and device is. You have to hold them very still to get the readout to keep from jumping all over. This will give you a sense of how still you need...

    How to lock the voltage for Lavatube version 2.1 from Microcig???

    Not sure if your Lavatube is the same, but I could not lock the voltage in my Lavatube 2.0, despite the instructions from the vendor. I think a pbusardo youtube video on the L-Rider and Youngjune Lavatube 2.0 also notes the inability to lock voltage.

    Juice turns brown ???

    Another factor, as it has been explained to me, is that as you vape the juice in the tank, the heated or burnt juice mingles back into the tank making the juice darker. It also gets thicker as the lighter elements of the juice get vaped off. I don't understand it either, but it seems to make...

    MyGo VV

    The chrome one that I was like the YoungJune in Pbusardo's video, recessed well to hold Ego clearomizers and resistance check. Great except the small issue of the threads were loose and couldn't hold any of my atomizers or tanks. Vendor is in the process of shipping a new one out to me now.

    Want to get a Variable voltage mod. Looking to spend about 50-70 bucks on a kit.

    I ordered one of the MyGo Lavatube v2's last week. I had to send it back yesterday because the threads were loose and wouldn't hold my Vivi Nova tank or even the Ego adapter that came with it. Maybe I should have gone with the black, but chose the chrome because I thought it could hold Vision...

    eGo or MyGo?

    I purchased a MyGo from aquavaper as well. I got it last Thursday and just sent it back yesterday. The threads were too loose to hold most of my atomizers and tanks. Even the Ego adapter and Vivi Nova tank it came with didn't screw into it. Now I need to wait another couple of weeks as the...

    Looking for the perfect rig.

    I tried the CE4 clearomizers and found the same issue. Have you tried the Vivi Nova? I've been using both the mini and regular size the last month and have had no issues, but I sit at a desk where the biggest danger is stubbing my finger on a keyboard. The tanks on the Vivi Nova are plastic...

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    My new Lavatube 2.0, which I had to return today because it has loose threads. :( Also have 2 additional Vivi Nova tanks, regular and mini, and metal tubes coming with a spare Phoenix clone and always, more juice.

    pack and 1/2 smoker here needs a lot of help...

    You are right where I was a few months ago. I used Blu for 6 months and didn't want anything more until the battery life was getting so short I couldn't vape for more than 15 minutes, and then the other battery was still charging. I bought an Ego starter kit with atomizers and cartridges...

    MyGo VV

    Update on my issue with screwing in the Vivi Nova and adapter screw, it's the MyGo. I tried a bunch of my other atomizers, cartomizers, and tanks, and only 2 of them screw in firmly. I tried the adapter and Vivi Nova from Aquavapercig on my Ego bateries and they fit fine. Darn it, now will...

    Recommendations on a good, sweet cream for mixing?

    As I settle on the flavors I like, I find I prefer sweeter, creamier juices like irish cream, praline and caramel. I have over 100 mls of fruit flavors like peach, strawberry, blueberry and pina colada that don't do it for me. At the same time, I am finding I need less nic and more VG, so I...

    Tips and tricks for a Newbie plz?

    I started with Blu as well and used the standard kit for 6 months before moving up to an Ego battery. I thought the Blu was great for what it was, but when the batteries started to die and I was only getting 15 minutes of vape time, it was time to upgrade. If you are ready to move on from the...
