    Hi from Florida

    Welcome from the Panhandle of Florida! Nothing quite imitates the taste of a cigarette, but not having had an analog for eight months has been tremendous. Vaping has replaced a 50year bad habit and I'm thankful! I, too, enjoy tobacco taste and have found Hanseng USA mix and Ahlusion Smooth...

    Vapor Shark - A+++ CS

    Enjoying my rDNA, really don't need the 30 watts,vaping at 7-7.5 watts with 2.5 ohm coils, but I sure like the form factor and user replaceable battery!

    AW icr 123 16340 protected battery question

    Hazozita, I appreciate your link...I had read that but completely glossed over the comments on IMR batteries. I've wound up ordering both IMR and ICR and will do a little testing myself. Once again ECF members to the rescue! A virtual encyclopedia of knowledge! Thank you!

    AW icr 123 16340 protected battery question

    I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I have seen many posts stating the dangers associated with icr batteries...why is this the recommended battery for the Billet Box I just ordered? What am I missing. Trying to stay educated and safe.

    Day 4 and Hanging in there

    You're doing great! Remember, the urge to have an analog will probably NEVER go away completely and pop up at most unexpected times. Just use your sense of SMELL! You'll be surprised how quickly you'll SMELL people who have had a cigarette and realize that YOU used to smell that way to someone...

    Frustrated!

    Love the technical aspects of RBAs and there is something therapeutic about building the "perfect" coil...but the quality of a cartotank vape and the relative ease of getting it right make it what I grab for all-day use. Found the right IBtank and am experimenting with different cartos trying to...

    Frustrated!

    Thanks for the response! Glade to hear that Isaac has something coming...too much bad press for Boge, don't want to buy a dozen and then throw them away!

    Frustrated!

    What gives with pre-punched 35mm and 45mm single coil 2-2.5ohm cartomizers? Everyone on Baditude's list seems to be out of stock!

    2 questions about caps and cartos

    IBtanked tank caps are flat in both axis. Both flanged and unflanged cartos can be used in appropriate sizes,understanding that the end caps are not recessed to accommodate a flange which will leave a small gap where the tank joins the battery. This can be compensated for (on a Provari) by...

    Cartomizer question

    Problem with the flanged cartos is they take up space so that the tank is not flush with the battery, a beauty ring will help. Some tanks have a recess to allow for the flange. My Provari beauty ring is loose when using a flanged carto and IBTanked tank (no flange recess). Minor irritation, I...

    Any slotted bottom caps for flange cartos that fit the 22mm glass?

    Just use unflanged cartos i.e. Boge available in 35 and 45mm length (standard or XL)

    spinner1300 vs 18350 batteries

    Can't address the zmax but with my Vamo5 in 350 mode, it's only good for 4ml max...however your vaping style with determine this most accurately. My experience has been that my Spinners last longer at 3.4-3.6v setting.
