    Exploding Battery

    If it were to happen, which is extremely rare, it were to happen during a charge. The battery didn't actually explode, it vented and the cylinder body shot off like a torpedo. That is why Joye recommends charging the battery on a safe surface and not to leave unattended. I know that the...

    Looking into apv's

    This is just IMHO, that's not best quality product. I recommend getting an eGo-C Twist which is a better product and you can change the voltage from 3.2-4.8 volts and has proven itself among the community.

    I ruined my vv pv with did clone :(

    I agree completely. This was caused by a faulty pv. Most commercially made VV pv's, that I know of, come with protection to prevent this from happening.

    Exploding Battery

    The eGo batteries don't have vent holes. As long as you use the right charging cable, it should be safe.

    Major frustration

    Are you using it on a VV pv or a set voltage pv? If on a VV try lowering the voltage, if using it on a set voltage pv, how many ohm coil is it? You may need to make a coil with more wraps to increase the ohms(resistance). It's always a good idea to have a multimeter or a pv that can accurately...

    Stainless Steel Mesh, Vivi Nova head rebuild frustration

    I don't know much about rebuilding the Nova with SS mesh wick, but why don't you try getting an affordable Genesis atty that's meant to be a RBA. I imagine it would be much easier than modding something that wasn't meant for this design. This is just IMHO. :2c:

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I think this forum is a great place to exchange ideas and opinions, but the video you made just sounds like your trying to stir the pot. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

    Fixing a broken 510 Connector (Guide with pics)

    Yeah I haven't tried those grommets before. All I know is I had a couple of Indulgence V2 mods a while back and they had extremely weak grommets and I threw them out. I wish I tried to replace the grommets. I notice that it's the cheaper mods that have issues with the connectors. If I ever...

    New Genesis type atomizer by DID!

    I have been having this weird thing going on with my resistance. I have a ProVari and a Zmax that I'm using the check ohm's. My DID's ohms are all over the place. I can't use my DID on the Zmax's VW setting. I don't have a short and I don't have a problem with VV settings. No matter how many...

    Fixing a broken 510 Connector (Guide with pics)

    Be careful not to over tighten attys or cartos, b/c that's what causes the insulator ring to break in pv's.

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    I have been talking about this idea for over a year. It's awesome that someone is actually experimenting with ceramic wicks and actually found one that will work!:toast: I can't wait to get my hands on some to see how they work out.

    Well, just be safe and make sure you have a good vent hole on the SB.

    28 awg Kanthal a-1 too much for silver bullet and genesis atty?

    I hope you are using good quality IMR batteries. You are pulling a lot of amps.

    VV deivce settings ?'s

    You say your using a genesis style atty, which means that the reason you are most likely getting burnt taste is b/c your wick isn't wicking well enough. Do you notice it more when your tank is low? There's various factors that effect how well your wick soaks up juice.

    Charging batteries overnight

    My mother uses the eGo-C twist and she always charges them overnight all the time. It doesn't seem to effect the battery at all.

    Battery charge and mAh

    If you are using 2 batteries stacked in a mechanical pv, you are getting the same mah, but your getting twice the amount of voltage. It really comes down to what the pv is doing with the stacked batteries.
