    What tanks are the most popular?

    Either one. Whatever is your most used one. Your everyday clearo or tank.

    What tanks are the most popular?

    What tank do you like the best? I am trying to get an idea of what people like to use, rather than the latest and greatest new gadget. What's your go-to, everyday tank?

    So I'm STILL Liking the Sweet Vapes...

    I Googled "Sweet Vapes flavors" and got this thread! I'm a caramel fiend, and was ordering a rainbow Spinner from them, and decided to try Creamy Caramel. It was really good! But you guys mentioned Alt Cig. I gotta say, hands down, AltCig is my favorite vendor on the planet! Sunny, the owner is...

    Do you clean a brand new Mechanical Mod before you use it?

    That was really helpful. It looks like since that grease is for electrical connections, that's more appropriate than something meant for aluminum. It looks like No-Ox-Id A-Special is the same type.

    Do you clean a brand new Mechanical Mod before you use it?

    Excellent. I already have Noalox and dish soap. Now just have to wait for USPS.

    Do you clean a brand new Mechanical Mod before you use it?

    So alcohol followed by soap and water, then dry and use Noalox, etc. I have one mechanical I have been using a few months and I've never done anything to it. When I get my new ones, I will do this. Thank you!

    Do you clean a brand new Mechanical Mod before you use it?

    Thanks Buffalo. :) So what do you use to clean them? Alcohol? Soap and water? And then Brasso following it?

    V3 Mechanical Mod(Sentinel Clone) VS Private V2 (Grand Vapor Clone) from fasttech.com

    Off topic, but does the Segelei Zmax have an aluminum 510 connection? I stripped mine out in a couple of months.

    Do you clean a brand new Mechanical Mod before you use it?

    I've heard people clean them, then Noalox them before using. Is this necessary? I also heard that No-Ox-Id Special A is better than Noalox. Any thoughts on this?

    V3 Mechanical Mod(Sentinel Clone) VS Private V2 (Grand Vapor Clone) from fasttech.com

    I have had a V3 Sentinel Clone from FT for a few months. I popped a 510 adapter on it when I first got it, because the discussions said that the aluminum 510 connection is weak. It's been great! I love it, and for $12, how can you go wrong? I just ordered the Stainless Steel Private V2 from FT...

    vamo 510 stripped threads possible fix

    Awhile back I bought something the guy at Home Depot said to use, he said this stuff holds anything. Not sure if would work for vaping stuff? I haven't tried it on anything yet. It is called "Loctite Super Glue Ultra Gel Control". It says it can be used on metal. I have a 2 part epoxy I think...

    Had to "repair" my Vamo threads!

    Just wanted to let you know that squeezing with pliers rescued a Vision Spinner with stripped threads that I had. I was able to get a 510 connector to stay put in there so I can put tanks on top. Thanks again for the suggestion.

    Had to "repair" my Vamo threads!

    Great idea to squeeze it with pliers to deform it enough to accept a 510 to 510 adaptor. This must be a typical Vamo issue. I too could not find much about stripped threads on a web search, except about Vamos (which I have never used!) Anyways, nowadays if I buy anything with an aluminum or...

    vamo 510 stripped threads possible fix

    I buy a lot of cheap mods from China. The first thing I do is put a 510 to 510 adaptor on them. That solves the threads wearing out problem, especially since most of those threads are aluminum and strip out easily. I started doing this after my Segelei Zmax threads wore out. One of the large...

    Tanks leaking on airplane

    Crx, I do remember learning in PADI class that you shouldn't fly and dive on the same day. But I also think I am the only person on the planet that flunked PADI class. Seriously, I chickened out the last day of class when they threw our gear on the bottom of the pool and said "put it on". So...

    Tanks leaking on airplane

    You're going to love this TSA story. This morning, I had my carry-on rummaged through. She checked it and checked it and I thought it was because I left an empty tank that has metal in it, and a cell phone battery in there in my haste packing. NOPE! What set it off was, I had bought a present...

    Tanks leaking on airplane

    Hi Doug, hope you have fun in this amazing city! :) I never get hassled about liquids in whatever airport I have been in. I carry them separately from the PVs. Hope you are flying into Midway. It has a bunch of really good local Chicago restaurants. Especially Manny's Deli! O'Hare is a big...

    Tanks leaking on airplane

    Brilliant! Thank you. Perfect. Next time, I will do that. It makes sense, when you think of the direction the air pressure goes.
