    eGo-V Soft button repair / replacement?

    I looked around for some small elastic-ish bands, but never considered cannibalizing a pen. Excellent idea!

    510 Drip Tip/Mouthpiece Question

    PSA: The following is meant to be a quick reply and is not a full-coverage guide :) The act of dripping is just a manual application of e-juice to the coil in an atomizer. In simple terms, the coil is a short piece of wire, usually wrapped in the shape of a spring. This wire is attached...

    eGo-V Soft button repair / replacement?

    I decided to order a few replacement bands. Sweet-vapes.com and Hoosier have them in stock and ready to ship. Nice! I tried this last night as a temporary measure, but all of our chopsticks were way too thin. I'm going to scout around the office today for a possible substitute. Dang! If I...

    VW chip

    You can buy a Vamo PCB for $20ish, or you can buy the whole thing for $30 from FastTech.

    The new diy lab!

    Nice and neat! By Saturday you'll have spread out to cover the entire working surface, and you'll have taken over the bookshelf. Late next week you'll be accused of taking over the dinner table and some of the kitchen counter space... I find it to be very helpful to mix in the kitchen near...

    While Waiting on the Wizard...

    My research says that few single flavors produce great results. That's subjective and will vary by individual and flavor, but overall seems to hold true. Most recipes call for additional background or complimentary flavors, sometimes sweeteners, etc. I know nothing about their gingerbread...

    Coffee

    Special Roast Coffee from Awesome Vapors has been one of my staples since day one (2+ months). It's not exactly a "cup of coffee" flavor, it's more like coffee-with-cream flavored ice cream or something similar. That said, I like it quite a bit and will continue to buy it for as long as my...

    eGo-V Soft button repair / replacement?

    I've already taken care of the filing, but that's a patch at best. The basic design is flawed; breakage is a foregone conclusion. Ah well, that's enough griping on my part. I'm looking at a couple of replacement button ideas, but they're going to take me a while to execute. In the...

    eGo-V Soft button repair / replacement?

    Hmm. It may be the proper fix involves a hammer and anvil. Yeah, I'm definitely going to get a couple for now, I'm just hoping that someone has developed a long-term fix. If I don't find one, this thing may end up as an Altoids tin mod.

    eGo-V Soft button repair / replacement?

    So I bought one of these a few weeks ago: EGO-V 650mAh . I really like it, except for the STUPID rubber-band switch which is now broken. The hole for the button has a sharp edge which caused the band to split. For a time I was able to use it like that, but the button has finally separated...

    Using gift or prepaid cards for online e-cig purchases?

    What cards are you using, and where do you get them? Are these one-time gift cards or reloadable debit cards? If they're one-time cards, are they always accepted at online stores, or do you have rejection issues (with the card :D). Thanks for your input!

    Using gift or prepaid cards for online e-cig purchases?

    After one fraud attempt and a canceled CC to go with it (for once, thanks BOA!), I've decided to pursue other forms of payment that are not linked to my checking account. At this time, I also do not want to sign up for an additional account or CC with my bank (or any other). Below are my...

    I'm Going To The Poorhouse

    If it was bad, they wouldn't pack it like that in the first place. They're not as good as glass, but they're not bad. , o The nic won't spoil in the short term, so wait 'till you place your next flavor order and add a couple of amber rounds with the polycone caps to it. ETA: That first...

    I'm Going To The Poorhouse

    Having gone overboard a few times myself, I'm not sure I should be the one to say this, but slow down! Lol. IIRC, you have nic and sme flavors ordered already, correct? Try DIY the simple way first with just a few syringes, bottles, and needles. Those are items you'll likely always need, so...

    How do you log your experiments?

    IMO, keep the "less-than-successful" list. Knowing what doesn't work so well can keep you from repeating mistakes.
