    Throat hit sucks...

    Jester - I get my 75 from bliplabs.com, been using it for a little while now and the stuff is amazing. I've used the bestecig 36 before that though, and its decent - the 555 and mild 7 are imho the best tobacco flavors, but a lot of them are hit and miss, they suffer from the same bitter beer...

    14500 Li-Ion Batts 3.7?

    Lighthound.com sells the higher-quality AW brand and they're stateside - Houston, TX. Shipping is prompt and while the batteries are more expensive than the ultrafire/trustfire, they do last longer. You get what you pay for with the chinese batteries, there's a reason they're cheap.

    Throat hit sucks...

    Add 5-10% glycerin, it'll help. Edit: How does the pure 60mg hit? The 75 I get hits like a freight train, so the problem may be the base liquid, where did you order it from?

    Well I came up with a NEW WAY to vape/Soldering Iron

    For the record, I think this is an incredibly stupid idea, you're about 2 minutes to midnight when it comes to just using a crackpipe instead. Now that being said, I'm a bit of a sadist, and this looks like fun to watch. It seems like your biggest issue is going to be how fast the soldering...

    Did I find 75mg liquid?

    Hadn't seen this thread in awhile and forgot to give my promised usage update - whoops, it's 3am right now and I just back from an Austin weekend with the girlfriend, so theres a good chance I'm leaving stuff out. If anyone wants more detail just holler at me I'll post it up. This stuff is...

    Just got hooked on the modding bug...some questions

    Alkaline/NiMH/NiCad batteries really just can't handle the current that ecigs draw, especially the smaller ones. Magnums don't use 3x AAs, they use 3x AAAs. You might get a little bit out of 3 brand new 1.5v alkalines, but it'll be short lived and you'll be buying more. Just throw an 18500 in...

    Soldering SOT23's is fun!

    Two completely different things Scott, a 5vreg would actually exacerbate the problem instead of fixing it. The vast majority of us use switches that are grossly underrated for what we're doing. A 50mA tact switch *will* start to degrade over time and finally stop working if you're pushing...

    Soldering SOT23's is fun!

    The TO220 is too big and I can't find any TO92's that have a low enough Rds(on) for my liking. Found some 223s that should work, they should be here Monday.

    Soldering SOT23's is fun!

    I do my best work naked, so that helps.

    Soldering SOT23's is fun!

    So, I promised someone a passthru, and haven't been able to find the time lately to get it done for them. Feeling bad, I figured I'd go ahead and use some of my new mosfet's on their mod, extending the life of the switch by a great deal and improving performance. SOT23's seem bigger when...

    The ones from all-battery (tenergy's website) are protected. No idea on the batteryjunction ones.

    Sign up for on line mod classes

    I think I had 4 or so people show up for my first live on-line mod class, and none the next. A handful of us have posted tutorials (check the stickies) with step-by-step and instructions and pictures. On top of that, theres a lot of vitriol on these forums, and tbh its often just not worth the...

    99% nic juice

    I just don't trust the Chinese when it comes to liquid. Every single chinese 'tasteless' liquid I've tried has the same bitter beer aftertaste and is damn near brown. The 7.5% I order from bliplabs here in the states has no such taste and is almost entirely clear. So the real question is -...

    99% nic juice

    a 10% solution in what buffer is the question - if it's in anything but USP PG (and you trust the company to actually use USP PG), then you're just burning money. There are already (albeit more expensive) stateside sources for pure nic+USP PG solutions up to 75mg/ml, why gamble with your life...

    Is it just the battery?

    Meh, solder/solderless doesn't really matter if its constructed properly, switches matter to a point, but for the most part, the battery is the difference. One thing you're missing tho highping, is that the larger batteries actually peak at 4.2v after a charge, and maintain that higher voltage...

    Help needed re making atty connector

    Thats going to be your center pin? No need for it to be hollow unless it's easier for you to work with. That drawing is also upside down, right? The flat bit should be whats making contact to the atomizer. The technical challenge is, like I said earlier, going to be the little lip inside of...

    Help needed re making atty connector

    Oh, *that* connector. That's what we call the battery connector, as it comes off of the battery. The 3 options for those are 1) cutting up a battery and re-purposing the connector 2) like nuck said, 901 manual extenders, cut them up and re-purpose the connector or 3) look at the sticky at the...

    Laser Pointer mod Guide

    wtserg: Cisco has another thread buried somewhere for the 801, construction is exactly the same but you need to chuck it in the lathe and turn down the little lip on the top of the nosecone for the part of the atomizer that protrudes below the catch lip of the connector. If you don't have a...

    Is anyone interested in having a Dallas vapers meetup?

    Hyper - Not sure on his prices tbh, and everything seems wildly inflated to me as I just buy my atomizers wholesale from china, and then make my own PVs/passthrus and mix my own juice using the bliplabs nic+pg solution as a base. If you need some stuff and aren't on a timeline, I can grab...
