    LR atty's keep killing my batteries...please advice...

    Yeah, I got some of those LR eGo-T atomizers. Need I say I lost more than one battery? I don't know whose idea they are, they try to remedy one of the many flaws in the T system: weak flavor. They do that, and the following week you're vapin' thin air with a waft of burned electronics. I put all...

    eGo mega dual coil

    Well they are DELRIN. They obviously are roundish, but not as offensive as the black rubber baby bottle tips. Kind of pawn-shaped. Very good drip tip, works on EMDCC and type B eGo gear. Big fat pipe down the middle. Hard to mistake for a teat, even in the dark. Voila. OK, I'm sick of my SMOK...

    Gel, when you say "sand until soft", you mean where exactly, can you show like on the pictures below? We can see why the Carto is SO hard to pull the barrel on, and the Atty so much easier. The sheer length of the fluted section on the carto makes rocking very tough (and will also make feeding...

    LR atty's keep killing my batteries...please advice...

    Michael, I took a couple of failed 1000 mAh Joye batteries apart. They had failed after several months of use, including using 1.8 Ohm LR Mega atomizers, the big 1.7 ohm EMDCC and 2.0 Ohm Boge cartos. If you look carefully at the photos (ignoring mechanical damage from pulling the circuit...

    Yo, Tat, blessed be the persistent, for they shall have sore thumbs! It worked! I did apply a little heat. One old Boge LR carto pulled! And it DOES have the flutings! But I can't test feeding properly using this poor 'ole carto, 'cause I ripped out his coil wire when taking off the white cap...

    Many 510 devices have the same fluting that they push the barrel down onto. That may or may not get you into the right compartment. With Joye type atties it's perfect, and it should work with many cartos. Screw the atty into an old battery and push like "breaking a pencil" a little at a time, or...

    I did not try drilling. We're in unknown territory. If you have a 1/16" preferably titanium-tipped bit and some way to hold it, you can try. But there are problems. When you just pierce the barrel and connector on a carto, you get into the filler chamber, where you want to be. The air normally...

    No, it's not OK unless that hot coil spot has no contact with juice, which in an atomizer is nearly impossible, as the whole coil is splashed with juice, and liquid also seeps onto the hot wire. Where the coil is wound tightly on the wick, the temp cannot normally exceed the boiling point of the...

    Custard flavors bad for your health if vaped?

    I should add that the statement here that only PA is disclosing/concerned is incorrect. Flavour Art has been proactively involved in this issue for a long time. They have gone even further than PA, in that they label any flavors that contain diacetyl, acetylpropionyl, acetoin or any diketone...

    Could be just that atomizer's build. If it bothers you, and is due to lack of clearance, maybe you can try very very gently pushing the wick-coil assembly up a hair through the battery connector air hole, like with a blunt needle. It's worth getting an atomizer set up just the way you like it...

    Opinions on the Vapage VMOD?

    @Greyz, what I did to use an atomizer I like (instead of a cartomizer) was to modify stock Joye 2.4 Ohm atomizers, which offer a bridge and more mesh as a juice reservoir, so I don't have to feed as often, and more consistency. If you mount an atomizer on an old battery, then gradually use a...

    the Vmod

    Hey, Iffy, I still have my (eGoBatt + Echo) and (eGoBatt + EMDCC). There doesn't have to be only one. Now the VMOD with a little work is added to the arsenal. CE2 and Boge tanks are good, but a bit too unwieldy, so these 3 are the best setups I've found so far, and they all have pros and cons...

    Joye atomizer feeding juice on VMOD. Atty barrel was pulled up 1 millimeter. Fence-sitters worry not; try a VMOD.

    Some cartos are harder than others. Managed to do it on some old ones that aren't worth vaping, but The Ones That Must Not Be Named happen to be very difficult to separate so far. Most of my dead batteries are broken too now. Does anyone know the exact threading so that one could buy a female...

    It's not "my method", it's very soft aluminum. All it takes is a couple times when you can't quite get it on easily, and one of yours will look like that too, because the material is soft enough you don't realize it. And what is this about tight tolerances, as in "precision", vs. zealousness and...

    Sorry ... meOW! You mount it on a good-sized battery and tighten. Then you hold this assembly with both hands and apply pressure with the thumbs at the joint like you're trying to break a pencil. As soon as it's yielded a bit, you turn it around and do it again. After a few rotations, the barrel...

    It's not just YMMV. If the upper seal is tight, the cone threading has to work when it's tightened to push the gasket down. If it's loose it leaks; if it's tight there's no seepage even, but it's harder on the cone. It's manageable on a given device, for instance by using a more slippery tape to...

    I don't know if this has been tried before, but I was able to rock the barrel back and forth on an eGo battery and get a stock atomizer to bare 1 mm of the fluted area where the barrel goes over the bottom threaded connector. The surprise was that the fluting allows juice to enter nicely, like...

    Bad news. The better the seal on the vertical gasket, the more the cone has to work during tightening. I've been noticing a black residue on the gasket. The paint from the cone has been coming off all over, even into the juice. And now the BAD news. I dare say I anticipated this from day one...

    I have vaped in airports and on a dozen trans-atlantic flights. I don't flaunt it but I don't hide it. Blow vapor into one of those polyester blankets, a perfect re-breather filter, so nobody gets alarmed, like wondering whether your underwear is on fire. Or go down to the galley area, walk...
