    Help with E-power 18650

    You want the filler "wet", but not sloshy. Let it soak down between every 6 to 8 drops or so until it acts like it doesn't want to soak anymore. When you hit that point, what's standing on top will settle and you'll be good to go.

    Help with E-power 18650

    I just wasn't sure if you got atomizer and cartridge, atomizer and tank, or cartomizers.

    Help with E-power 18650

    Just like mine although from a different vendor . . . you'll love it! It looks like they sent you 1.5 mil cartomizers, so take the small white stopper, if there is one, out from the end opposite of the threads and drop in your e-liquid around the edges. It'll take a few minutes, resting...

    Help with E-power 18650

    Can you post pics of your system, including your liquid feeder of choice? It sounds like you are not using cartomizers, but perhaps a T-tank? Knowing more specifics would help in assuring you are directed correctly.

    Is it safe to use an unprotected battery?

    I would imagine you'd have to be just as prepared as you would if you put gasoline in a Zippo.

    PV Setup - Virginia Slim Ultralight Taste

    Here's a good ego-type, 22 hour removable battery product you may want to consider. I personally don't use the cone, but as you can see, they are available to give it a more sleek look. This is considered a mini-mod and it is not the eGo e-power that has the switch issue often discussed on the...

    You guys have made my mouth water!! Haven't had a fresh fried crappie in more than a decade and there really isn't anything any better to put on the table!! Now, this did bring up a thought besides wanting to pick a fish . . . if I were to get the chance to go fishing again, what in the world...

    What is YOUR flavor profile

    Not really looking for a thing, although I enjoy trying different tobbacco flavors every once in a while . . . Happy as a CLAM being analog free and still puffing as I'd like! :vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor:

    Day #2.5. I keep on buying new kits and getting discouraged!

    OP, you do not need a new system just yet!! The 510-T is a good place to start. The "tank" may not be. The "tank" is a 50/50 shot of working well, all dependant on the user and their understanding of how to use them. I know 3 people that are still using them months after starting. I didn't make...

    Needle size for refilling CE2 type cartos

    I use a 19 gauge for all vaping needs and have never had a problem drawing the juice or filling a clearomizer, however, I don't fill through the holes in the seal. I go between the seal and the tube. Breaking the tightness of the seal all the way around I find gives a easier draw and longer life...

    Carto vs. Cartridge

    Starting off with a standard 510 is a good thing . . . there are SO many options to choose from that you're first priority would be to get comfortably introduced into the vaping so you can lay down those analogs! A PCC would definitely be a plus to help assure the transition is a smooth one...

    Carto vs. Cartridge

    Cartos are great for routine vaping, however, if you have analog cravings, having a cart of a higher nic can help you get over those moments. Both carts and cartos have very useful purposes. With experience, trial and error, you'll find what works for you and when. Best wishes!!!!!

    My user name is short for "True Capricorn", which I am, although I try to watch out for the negative characteristics associated with the goat. :) My avatar is my own creation showing that I'm proud to be a North Carolina Tarheel, and even more so that I've given up the analogs and therefore...

    Chillyb7, See if this video clip offers any help to you: Top 10 atomizer tips - part 1 of 2 - YouTube I agree with the other posters that you'll probably find cartomizers more efficient that atomizers, however, for flavor tasting you'll still need to use attys and it just helps to understand...

    What is YOUR flavor profile

    Smoked for 40+ years from 1 to 3 PAD . . . Doral Menthols exclusively for 35 years. I like ----- 1) tobacco: full aromas - currently "Hickory Virginia" 2) menthol: lightly - currently "Blue Ice" 3) coffee - not a big fan for vaping - competes with what I'm drinking :) 4) bakery -...

    TOBACCO FLAVOR USERS, please

    Zodas, I think you may be on the right track by buying your nic level in base liquid. That will give you the opportunity to play around with those that are close, but not quite right by adding a little base to the pre-mixed and lighten up the flavor without diluting your nic strength. I don't...

    "I primed just like I was told with 2-3 drops of liquid at the battery end." I'm truly sorry you've had such a bad experience with your 510. It's what I started with and I also had issues the first week, but different one than yours. It takes time to learn new electronics, even e-cigs. Is the...

    Encourage your Teens to vape before they start smoking - Be Proactive

    By 15 I was a PAD smoker . . . uh, TOO LATE!! I was reared by a terrific parent. I only had one and he was great. He didn't preach right from wrong. He didn't lecture. He talked to me . . . not sit down, face to face when something particular needed to be addressed, but every moment we were...

    Great summation! I'm glad he mentioned Turkish because I had never tried it prior to getting Turkish e-juice and "musky" certainly describes my experience with it :) Thanks for the link!!
