    e-Power passthrough and cart advice, please

    That's awesome that you found a good juice right out of the gates... that's a big hurdle for some people... You can use your cartomizers or atomizers with anything threaded for a 510, which is the most popular. I like the eGo USB passthru, but any 510 passthru should work fine for you... If...

    new to e cigs / vaping ... a few ?'s

    Ah, it's a battery that you can use while it's connected to your computer's USB port, so you can vape while it's charging... My favorite: Genuine Joye 1000mAh XL eGo Battery w/USB (510, passthrough) - The VaporCast Store Never ordered from these guys (despite their good reputation). This is...

    new here & very overwhelmed

    Well put... Edit: Thought better of my comment... There's some good advice here, but definitely stick to the recommended suppliers... Very well stated, BardicDruid... I don't bite my tongue often, but I didn't want to make a sweeping generalization about the many fine comments here... But...

    new to e cigs / vaping ... a few ?'s

    Yeah, you've got lots of filling options. The sad truth is, none of them are great. This is a technology in its infancy... But everyone finds an option that works well for them... Some like cartomizers, some like tanks, MANY like to carry a bottle of liquid around with them and drip directly...

    Jolly rancher flavor?

    Ain't that always the case?!!?? I'm thinking the trick might be to make Malic Acid pg as strong as it will absorb, then use that to cut my nic from 36 mg/mL to 18, and then adding the fruit flavoring... The problem I'm having may be that the PG just won't absorb enough of the crystals...

    Help

    And I dig Perfumer's Apprentice's Vanilla Swirl in tobacco mixes... And call me crazy (I've been preaching this gospel for weeks, but I doubt anyone's tried it!), but I like a drop or two of dill pickle mixed with my tobacco (also from Perfumer's Apprentice). It gives it an herbal note that's...

    Jolly rancher flavor?

    The trick is supposed to be Malic Acid. I haven't had much luck with it myself, though... I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Malic acid is what gives Jolly Ranchers their Jolly Rancher pop, if that helps, and it's available as crystals or already in pg from several sources. I got mine...

    Who has the best Cheesecake

    I'd love to find a better one, but like I said on a different thread, Perfumer's Apprentice smells a bit like a fart, and tastes like sweetened cream cheese. I love most of their flavors, but this one's just a miss... The LO is nice, but it takes a lot of it (like 15%) and it's easily...

    If Certain PV Models Seem To Leak When Carried.........?

    I agree with dormouse, cartomizers are the least likely to leak... Tanks always run the risk, and cartridges, well, they just don't vape well, and can leak if they're not filled properly. With that said, I use tanks, and when they leak, that doesn't necessarily mean it's leaking out of the...

    Ego batteries dying - burning up, rather

    That sucks... I haven't had this problem myself, but I suspect that usually what happens is a little juice gets on the battery and gets sticky. Of course, I could be completely wrong... I think it's a great battery, and when replacing it, I'd look at the eGo Passthru. You can get a 1000mAh...

    Does any one here use a Joye 510-T with a Ego battery? If so...

    I believe it has to do with the liquid level dropping to the point that the spike breaks the surface tension... I'm working on testing this theory as we speak. They never leak for me before they get low, and for some reason some attys are more prone to leaking than others... Those that don't...

    Recommendations for new users

    I would try to keep it relatively simple at first... I know it's tempting to want to use something small that resembles a cigarette, but I would really recommend against it. The battery life is bad, and it's rather limiting. I felt the same way, as most of us here did. Mine are sitting in a...

    Is my nic level too high?

    That's exactly what it sounds like. Nicotine is very similar to caffeine in many ways... Throat hit is a function of many variables. Higher voltage (or lower resistance cartos/attys) can help to compensate for this, as well as a slightly higher vg concentration (as opposed to pg). It's...

    Does any one here use a Joye 510-T with a Ego battery? If so...

    A lot of people swear by the cartos, but I prefer a tank... To me, cartos are great when they're full, but you have to top them up repeatedly to keep them full... If I'm going to that trouble, I might as well drip. The tanks (all of them I've tried), while still not stacking up to dripping...

    vanilla?

    And I'm a big fan of Perfumer's Apprentice Vanilla Swirl... No diacetyl producers, either, which I think is pretty important. Some of their flavors DO have them, like the Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, which is a shame because it's sweeter and less floral than the Vanilla Swirl, but I like the floral...

    A few questions on DIY

    I don't vape a lot of tobacco flavors, but once in a while you just have to... I really, really dig the FA Camtel too. Be Careful with it though... When I first got it I had no idea how potent it was, and with its floral notes, it tasted kinda like vaping Old Spice... Mixed at the right...

    Black Provari

    Two months ago, I ordered the standard finish. It was showing two weeks or less lead time. I ordered it on a Wednesday, and it was sitting on my desk when I arrived the following Monday morning (delivered on Saturday).

    A few questions on DIY

    Again, this depends on how exact you want to be. Depending on the flavor, you will use somewhere between 5% and 20% flavoring. A 12 mg/mL base becomes a 10 mg/mL juice when mixed at 20%. If that bothers you, you can mix per recipe. I don't. I start with an 18mg/mL base and flavor from...

    First attempt at DIY

    Wow... 60mL is a lot to make, especially if you haven't made it before... I make everything in 3 or 5 mL batches, and then take it up... if it's good. I'd give it a week for its final flavor. The problem with using multiple flavorings is that some may benefit from the steep more than...
