    Beginner Questions

    The batteries for any ego model are the same. However, I would like to recommend that you consider the option of a Riva or kgo battery at 650mah instead of the ego version. This is because the Riva and kgo options produce a slightly more "true" 3.7 volt vape, where most ego batteries produce...

    Does anyone else not feel the need to upgrade from the eGo?

    If there is one slight change I'd make, it would be to use Riva or kgo batteries instead of ego batteries, because they tend to have a slightly more powerful voltage than the egos. However, I do constantly use my ego batteries, even though I have a Lavatube and another VV wood box mod on its...

    How much time do you spend on browsing ECF daily...?

    I don't let myself look at ECF while I'm at work, because I will find myself sucked into it. Not even on my lunch break! When I get home, though... :)

    Things I have noticed with E-liquid

    I'd like to see more experimentation along these lines. However, different people will have completely different reactions to the juice -- this is why so many companies have extra-flavor options and base their juices on a lower flavoring amount. It's going to be a bit of trial and error no...

    friggin little contest for tiny little prize... top tips echo-e, ego

    Take spare tank caps. If the boat rocks at the wrong moment, yours might go off into the briny depths, and seaweed is not a viable replacement. Have a high-nicotine juice for those times when you really, really want a cigarette, but have lower nicotine juices for before bed. This prevents...

    The Phiniac tanks are wonderful. When you can, definitely invest in one... or two. Maybe two. (I'm already planning for my second, I'm gonna get a custom one.) :) Let's see, juices to avoid from VapeDudes... my experience with their Greenstone is mixed. My husband kinda likes it. I kinda think...

    My husband, ah, doesn't quite know that I have my Max Woodie coming yet. *cough* Of course, when he goes "HEY, where's mine?" I'll just hand him the Lavatube and he'll smile and life will be happy. :) The next step for me, I think, is DIY juices. But until I take that step... oh, the juice...

    I actually have a few nonsmoker friends who, after hearing my babbling about flavors, are starting to wonder if they should vape in self-defense. My niece was telling me to stop talking about cheesecake, because every time I mention it, she goes out and eats it! :D

    Oh, absolutely. I'm gonna put my pretty sandblasted Phiniac glass tank on it with a nice drip tip and go "ooooh" and take tons of pictures and probably shower them everywhere. :) And then I'll get to vaping on it. :D I found VapeDudes right off the bat when I started vaping, so I think that...

    Dusting off my ego-T. need some pointers.

    Something I will recommend is a clearomizer. I've had amazingly good success with them as opposed to cartos, they're easier to fill on the fly, and the ones I get from Liberty Flights have the same rough mouthpiece-shape as the ego-T type "A" tank mouthpiece. Plus, the larger-sized clearomizers...

    Cost of a pack of smokes in your area?

    I'm one of those people who rolled my own -- had a tube-stuffer machine, I'd buy "cartons" of empty cigarette filter tubes and then fill them with my own tobacco. All in all, a pound of tobacco + 3 "cartons" of filter tubes ran me around $20-25, so long as I did mail order. If I got tobacco...

    How do i make it stop leaking/dumping juice??!!!

    I've become a convert to tanks myself, although I still on occasion have issues with dry carto (usually with darker or thicker juices, though). And I vape at or around the same amount... I just don't have to "top off" anywhere near as often. :) Once the carto's free of that top ring, be very...

    Carto life in tanks

    Like the other people here have said, darker juice or heavily-flavored juice tends to kill my cartos faster. So does juice with a high VG content. I tend to use Boges, though, so it may be slightly different for the Smoktech.

    He huffed and he puffed till his mouth fell apart.

    Issues with bleeding gums/mouth sores are very common detox symptoms from tobacco usage, so that might be something to consider. I tend to alternate PVs with different intake methods (for instance, I've got a clearomizer, a tank-carto setup, and an ego-T tank prepped with juice right now) during...

    NOOB questions please help

    I will agree with getting some VG to cut it with, but have a few additions: Make sure you get USP-grade VG or higher. Never get anything lower. USP-grade is foodsafe. There is supposedly medical grade above that, but I have never been able to find it for sale, only USP-grade. It will not only...

    Ry4 - I don't get it at all

    I have to say, when I first started vaping, RY4/RY3 were incredibly useful. And then, my tastebuds started to change. At this point, I'm wondering if I'll ever find another tobacco flavor that I can vape for more than a few minutes. I even got one of the coveted bottles of BWB RY4. I can tell...

    2 weeks strong!

    I'm extremely fond of the 'original cheesecake' flavor from VapeDudes. They have other variations (caramel cheesecake, turtle cheesecake, blackberry cheesecake, etc). I have the blackberry cheesecake and the turtle cheesecake juices in the house, but I just don't like them as much as the...

    I'm at the double-digits in orders from VapeDudes for juice. ECBlend's a new experiment for me, and if it works out... woo for another choice! The Max Woodie is a variable-voltage wood box mod. Take a peek here: The Max Woodie
