    the Vmod

    XoYo, just get one, it's a good foundation. You may find the Vapage cartos/attys to your liking, and if not, to put a Boge on it, you just have to make one small hole at the base, and it works great. We're actively working on making that as simple as possible. We'll help to make it work for you.

    the Vmod

    Peace, Viki. We just have different approaches. Sorry, I've explained why I can't use their cartos/attys. I rather think many of the problems are intrinsic to the "small buffer" approach, and there seem to be problems with materials. I own no stock in any of this. Paired with a good vertical...

    the Vmod

    Viki, I understand you love every facet of the device just the way it is. I'm VERY happy for you. But maybe, just maybe, what you haven't tried is better? And please don't get upset. Are you telling me, again, that you find any critique "disrespectful"? But how can problems be solved without...

    I was afraid of that. The punch is not sharp enough relative to how much pressure is applied. It happens that in our case dimpling is not acceptable. AG's suggestion is good. As to a vertical slit, it's not easier to make, and if it's long juice will leak above the gasket. Drilling is tricky...

    the Vmod

    I think the VMOD with a well sealed good carto is top notch, and just works. I have no vested interest in any of this. But I defy anyone from trying a 2 ohm Boge on it and not saying "wow! why have I been putting up with so much less?"

    Obviously the center pin is easily pushed in, making the atty appear dead. One of mine was DOA that way. To fix them, don't just pull up the pin or it will sink back down. Delicately pull up the silicon rubber surround so the pin cannot go back down as easily. I found it easiest to do with a...

    the Vmod

    Perfecto. Thanks Gobbler! Now if I can just find a cross-section diagram of the whole top part with catch cup and all! Is that top metal part one casting, or is it machined, or what? It sure is a clever design, and ideally should be usable with more than one brand of carto/atty. Regarding...

    @johnathan I can't figure out how to find anything on this forum, let alone a specific post. It seems to only return whole threads. Any chance you could post those pictures again? "It's not a juice hog - I am!" But I just blow it out into the room. One if these days I'm going to sit down in a...

    New EGO TANK system.

    Thanks, Kent. Not much has changed. Check out the Echo-e cartos and the Ego Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer. They don't leak, they hold 2-4 ml of juice, and they last like a month at under $3 each. Another interesting solution is the VMOD bottom feeder, it has a 4 ml bottle, and the feed works...

    The Echo Thread

    The Echo-E carto is a little different from the originals that were threaded 901 or something. Better to have all 510 compatible, IMHO. Unmatter is right, it's just price and luck, they are the same. There are dual coil Echo-Es that give a little more and hotter vapor, but I've had longer life...

    diacetyl-free?

    Read FA's own Clear Stream page. They are redesigning the tests.

    the Vmod

    For people who are having trouble with a loose shell and/or leaks. Take a nail emery board, everybody has a few, and work the cone on it to shave like 1/32" off the bottom. How much is not too critical. You can always take a little more off, and if you shave a little too much it won't matter...

    the Vmod

    Johnathan, can you tell us more about the Resurrector, how exactly you modified it, etc. Is it a horizontal coil carto like the Kanger, or a vertical coil? The horizontal coils (like Kangers or the big Echo-e) are usually less sensitive to juice amount; the coil is not in contact with the...

    diacetyl-free?

    I'm familiar with those tests, and I wouldn't take any "decrease in cell viability" seriously, because the way they were getting vapor was done by techs who had no idea what they were doing. The number of "puffs" they were using exceeds what the e-cig can deliver. They were not paying attention...

    eGo mega dual coil

    I ordered some of these, they should work, though you might have to cut them down. No idea what they are made of, will know in a day or two. He also has Delrin 510 drip tips for $5.99 for a pack of 5. It's annoying to see little plastic drip tips sold at $4 each. JOYE EGO DRIP TIP CYLINDER...

    diacetyl-free?

    @meems, don't keep up the suspense! So how many mLs of flavoring do you use to how much base? @Jorge, precisely. I like the flavor of a freshly opened pack, not a burned tobacco. I used to add Tobacco Absolute (in micro micro amounts - it's very strong) to imitate tobacco better, but now I...

    Jslay, please try to look first for glowing before you in any way "rearrange" the atomizers. First you want to know if that's the cause of them failing. Secondly, pushing the wires around doesn't necessarily improve things, you can just as easily make them worse. How long do you hold the...

    Jslay, could it be a loose coil problem? A section of coil that's not contacting the wick overheats for lack of cooling. My main concern has been the danger of breaking down glycerin in juice to acrolein. But if you vape PG you may not notice. Can you take off the mouthpiece and look down the...

    eGo mega dual coil

    So uneventful. The only thing to report about my SMOK black EMDCC is that he's starting to not draw as well after 6 weeks. Yes, all the vertical coil cartos suffer from swelling, and as they age, the filler gets more finicky and the difference between a waterlogged filler and a dry filler...

    New EGO TANK system.

    Sorry, I can't read through all 2463 posts. Can someone fill me in on the state of the art on the eGo-T? Mine would start out great then start leaking down into the atomizer. It was like the vertical wick in the piercing tube would harden or move, so that leaving an eGo-T standing was a recipe...
