    Death of a great atomiser

    Our thoughts and fears are with you in your time of loss.

    I just tried something rather interesting

    Honey contains solids which will quickly carbonize your atomizer. And not in the cool Han Solo way.

    Also new and in need of sound advice

    That is good advice MODEL77. I would recommend no more than 16mg strength for a lite to regular smoker. In other words, I feel like with the increased frequency of e-smoking compared to analog, 16mg or less approximates the nicotine intake you might have been getting from cigs. Any more and...

    Also new and in need of sound advice

    My recommendation is a DSE901. Can be had for $40-$50 from a reputable dealer. Since you will primarily be using away from home I recommend at least 1 extra battery. You will also want to get a bottle of e-liquid for refills. If you are looking for menthol e-liquid (at least in the US) I...

    Disappointed By Short Battery Life

    In the evening when I tend to smoke almost constantly, a pen batt lasts about 1.5-2 hours. During the day at work with on-off use it's about 3-4 hours.

    Cash 36mg juice

    I've experienced the same when switching from Cash's to Jane's. Both are great, but seem to get more vapor from Kick juice on a low battery. If you add a little VG to Cash's juice it performs the same.

    Top-off vs. Refill

    If you simply add drops to the top of the cart, you will have to drop a couple at a time, wait to soak in, add more, repeat. With a syringe you actually fill it full from the bottom, no waiting. Either way you are "refilling." If you just add a couple of drops to the cart when vapor...

    Cleaning atomizer

    Yes, yes, yes. The Everclear (or Golden Grain) is a must. Great, residue free solvent for cleaning. Dries fast, cheap ($4.99 USD half-pint) and is also great for mixing, thinning and extracting.

    dead battery

    My advice is to go for another kit. If you are relying on one cig, then 4 batteries and 2 chargers is the way to go. The logistics of keeping up with one charger is very difficult.

    dead battery

    I recently had the same problem with a 901 battery. Cold, dead no led, no vape. Contacted Steve about it, then forgot about it for about 3 days. Went to pack it up to send back and whammo, suddenly working again. It's still working great and in fact it's one of my better ones now.

    how to mix veggie glycerin and flavors?

    I cannot stress enough that the highest proof grain alcohol you can find is vastly superior for thinning and extracting to any vodka. In the states it is called either Golden Grain (190 proof) or Everclear (198 proof I believe). Thats 95% and 99% alcohol respectively. Or 5%/2% water and...

    Paying 29 dollars.

    I do, and I did. I am going to make a prediction, perhaps unfairly (apologies to the seller if I'm wrong). I predict a 75% chance of getting 1 good batt and 1 bad, 20% chance of getting a fully functional kit and 5% chance of total rubbish. Vegas anyone?

    Kevlar Carts

    That's it. You have to remove the braided sheathing on it, and as I stated above I think it is still a little large to use as is in penstyles. However, it is easy enough to peel off strands to whittle it down. That (adjusting overall density), I think, is gonna be the key.

    Sucking the filter onto the atomiser coil

    Look at my thread on kevlar cart material. Initial tests indicate that it will not stick to atomizers in 901s or penstyles. Makes sense cause it will not melt, and if it does you are standing too close to a leaky reactor.

    Kevlar Carts

    Sure Kate, I'm going to try and measure with fresh and "broken in" kevlar vs factory. Both on a fresh fill and after spent (spent is kind of subjective but I'll try to get close.) I'm going to have to fiddle a little with the density I think. I've noticed that by the 3 top up or so it has...

    Kevlar Carts

    Reporting on my first experiment with alternative cart material. Just got 2 feet of kevlar "rope" from a company that supplies fire dancers. It is fireproof and very dense. I cut a piece of 3/8" diameter and replaced the wool in a penstyle cart. So far it is fantastic. It seems to...
