    need help - mouth issue

    Do go to the emergency room (or to your family doctor or dentist). Never fool around with your health! I suppose it might be some kind of reaction to vaping ... but it doesn't matter (other than providing that information to your doctor). I include dentist, because my mouth currently feels...

    Thank You veterans!!!!!!!!!

    Speaking for all of us (if I may): You are very welcome! Sharing the knowledge – and wisdom(?) – gained from our experience is intrinsically satisfying. Reading words of appreciation is icing on the cake. Thanks!

    Frustrated, exhausted, just want to vape. Help???

    If you want a high-mAh, automatic Kr8-compatible, get the 1300 mAh Echo (e.g., $40 from SmokTek). I reviewed it a few months ago. It is much larger, of course, but streamlined in shape when using its own 3ml-capacity cartomizers ... and the dual coil version are quite effective.

    Ready to graduate onto something bigger but need some advice...

    Since your focus is on less frequent refilling rather than less frequent recharging, you can stick with your current Riva batteries, but use larger cartomizers, e.g., the 4ml-capacity eGo Mega Dual Coil cartomizer (e.g., $3 each from Vapor Junction) or the 3ml-capacity Echo-e carto (e.g., $3...

    Frustrated, exhausted, just want to vape. Help???

    +1 MichelleDen is right on! But that "expert friend" doesn't know what s/he is talking about. The Elite 808 is quite different from the V2. I agree that the Elite is pretty, but that is not the most impressive thing about it. The TH and vapor are outstanding and the flavor is very good...

    best ecig for a truck driver

    An 18650- or 26650-based mod and 6ml-capacity cartomizer-surrounding tank should do the trick. Total upfront cost: $100+ (in addition to e-liquid and replacement cartomizers). There are far too many choices of mods and tanks to enumerate here. Check out my recent post in this ATV forum for some...

    Leo - 510 adaptor not working

    It may be that the adapter is not making a good contact with the Leo battery or dual coil cartomizer. You could try fiddling with the battery connector end of the adapter or carto by prying up the center post with needle nose pliers or tweezers. I love my Leo, but what I love about it is the...

    Best kit for a "veteran"?

    One of the few automatic large battery PVs is the 1300 mAh Kr8-compatible Echo (which I reviewed in June), e.g., $40 for a complete two-battery kit from SmokTek. Although it is fully compatible with standard Kr8 cartomizers, it is especially effective with its own 3ml-capacity cartos. I...

    Elite Variable Voltage/Lava Tube initial impressions

    Very informative review, HawtAngel! Thanks! In his written review, Steve K reported that the LavaTube he received for review from Volcanoecigs has a protection circuit (necessitated by its 2.5 amp switch), which drops the voltage down to around 3.5V, when using dual coil cartomizers (but not...

    Favorite tank model/manufacturer?

    I guess not. [It's been two weeks and no veteran has responded.] I suggest that you buy any good battery kit and use cartomizers. The best deal I know of is the Riva-510 from Liberty-Flights. For example, the $35 "Riva 510 - Carto Deluxe" or $36 "Riva 510 - Carto Deluxe (DUAL COIL)" kit. For...

    Juce suggestions for Marlboro Light smoker?

    No e-liquid (regardless of name) tastes just like an analog (e.g., Marlboro Lights)! Thank goodness – analogs taste terrible! [This from a guy who smoked for over 40 years.] Any good tobacco flavor probably would be satisfying ... if your friend is open to change. [Many smokers are not.] Most...

    What to do now?

    You don't need any kind of adapter or extender to use most 510 cartomizers on your eGo-T batteries. [The eGo cone might not fit over some of the cartos, but functionality would not be impaired.] My favorite 510-compatibles are the Boge 2.0 (especially on 3.7V) and Smok Tech 1.7 Mega Single Coil...

    Almost To Vaping Heaven...A Few Questions

    "Best" Cartomizer: Just as there is no one best PV for all vapers, so there is no one best cartomizer or atomizer. Virtually all my recent experience has been with cartomizers. My favorite 510-compatibles are the Boge 2.0 (on 3.7V) and Smok Tech 1.7 Mega Single Coil (on 3.2 or 3.7V). [Since you...

    Best HR Catomizers?

    Cartomizers with a resistance of ~3 to ~4 ohms (i.e., the low end of high-resistance and sometimes called "standard" or "regular" resistance) probably would do you well on 5V. [The lower the resistance in that range, the more intense the hit.] Boge and Smok Tech are two of the best brands. I see...

    Is there a way to optimise the use of a PV?

    Rather than using special vaping techniques, lowering the resistance (ohms) of your atomizers will dramatically increase the intensity of the experience (both in TH and vapor). If you like the eGo-T tanks, you could try the LR version of the tank atomizers, e.g., $10 ea. from Cignot. Since...

    Use of the full name is not required, MG. My friends call me Don or DaBoom (and never Mr. DaBoomVape;)). Yeah ... I know my Halloween makeup looked more like Groucho, but I was going for the look of my previous avatar:

    306 and 510 Cartomizers

    I know very little about 306 cartomizers. But last year, I wrote an article about the 306 atomizer (which would be the distinguishing portion of the cartomizer). I assume that many of the comments (and contrasts with the 510 atomizer) would be applicable to the cartos as well, especially since...

    Where do I go from here for new hardware?

    There are so many different directions to go and so many models (and variations on them) have been introduced since you and I started vaping in 2009. [In the world of vaping, two years ago is ancient history.:D] Offhand, I recommend that you try an inexpensive 510-compatible fat batt (e.g., eGo...

    Innokin Lea 800 E-Cigarette

    Thanks, Thom! Sounds like a Lea Kross battery (and cap) would be great for me, for use with cartomizers. I'm really enjoying the more slender form factor of my Elite 808. The Lea is a bit wider, but has the same mAh as an eGo while being sleek (and having that clip cap) ... and enabling use of...

    Any one used these MEGA dual coil cartos?

    I have become disenchanted with the dual coils ... at least at 3.7V or less (e.g., the 3.2V eGo). IMO, they need higher voltage (4.2V+) to really blossom, so they are perfect for VV. I prefer the Smok Tech 1.7 ohm Mega Single Coil – aptly nicknamed the 'Resurrector' by Crystal Clear Vaping and...
