    School me on carto-tanks

    Here's the problem with these style tanks. When you slide the cartomizer up or down to fill it, or remove one of the caps, it causes the tank to pressurize when you put everything back in place. I have resorted to making my own tanks using the 20ml syringe mod. But, I added a fill port...

    Madarine Flavor Extract

    I recently received some of this and I'm really anxious to make it. However, I'm skeptical that it will be any good. It smells AWESOME. But, when I taste the extract by itself, it tastes like fish oil. Also, the label does not mention anything about being alcohol based or containing alcohol...

    Help with Chalice, RBA's

    Ah yes, I didn't even think of that. Your liquid could be culprit. Sometimes, the liquid you use can't take the heat and instead of just vaporizing, it will burn. What kind of juice are you using? Also, how many strands of wick is the coil wrapped around? I did this in the beginning and...

    Cheap passthrough mod

    It looks cool for what it is. But, I have to ask.. is that speaker wire? And electrical tape protecting you from an open circuit plugged into an electrical outlet? lol I wouldn't use that much, maybe try to find you a heavy duty USB cable that is long enough to use as your only wire...

    Help with Chalice, RBA's

    Fire the atty with the cap off and look for any glowing red pieces of wire. This is a hot spot. If one spot of the wire glows red before any of the others do, then you need to correct it. So, find the hot spot, then take a darning needle or a nail and try to reshape the wire so that that spot...

    Help with Chalice, RBA's

    I have experienced the same thing. I haven't given up on my A7 yet. I get closer each time. I have had the best experience using cotton wick, but I find the vape is dry and tasteless. This is only day 2, so may I just need to break it in. I'm finding that with ANY coils that I've built, if...

    Mouthful of vapor...what am I doing wrong?

    How far did you fill it? Usually, you don't want the liquid to go past where the wicks enter the coil. It could also be condensation build up in the drip it.

    Has Anyone Seen This Crap?.....

    I had mixed feelings about this article. One half of me said, "these people are out of their freaking minds." The other half said, "do we really know exactly what we are inhaling?" I do agree, some of their claims are 100% BS. But, we don't really know what kind of chemical reactions are...

    cartomizer lifetime in a tank

    This is one of those "subjective" scenarios. A cartomizer will last as long as you want it to. That's the answer. But, it's performance WILL slowly decrease more and more. I use the SMOK super shorty's on my REOs and bottom feeders and I find that sometimes I will be satisfied with one for a...

    Upgrade time - twist v lavatube thoughts please

    If you are going to opt for the Stainless LT, I have the original 18350 from Apollo. It is stellar IMO. I had a 1000mah twist. Notice I said, "HAD". The 1000mah is much longer than anything I've ever used. I don't really do eGos anymore. If you are already an eGo user, then get yourself a...

    Vivi Nova Mini 2.5 Burnt Taste FIX!

    I agree. I've read so many good things and seen so many good videos about the Vivi Nova 2.5. I just don't understand how they get it to be "flawless" or that it works "perfect". Even highly respected reviewers. You know what the Nova is? It's a CE2 tank. Plain and simple. And it has CE2...

    Anyone try the A7 RBA ?? Will it fit?

    On page 12 of this thread, iKN0WaGH0ST mentioned not getting good vapor and a very strong TH. The first coil I built was directly over the air hole. The second one is off to the side, but still right next to it. I'm getting the same performance from both setups. VERY strong TH, and about 1/4...

    Plasticy burnt taste :-(

    Luckily I got mine in a trade. It was brand new and is not a knock off and I'm almost positive it's a 2.5. Connector air holes.. long wicks... It's just not performing well for me..

    Plasticy burnt taste :-(

    I'm getting the same issue with my 2.5.. I've read and heard nothing but great things. I got it and I've been trying to use it for the past 3 days... all I can think is, am I missing something? I literally have to flood the coil to get a good flavor. Otherwise, dry burn and rubber is all I...
