    Anyone in the Denver area have spare 510 atties?

    I'd've never thought, with a 5-pack less than a month old, I'd be out of atties. I'm not totally desperate, as I have a de-bridged one, but it's harsh, and I have a 306 that I don't like to use on my eGos. And I have some CE2s, but they're kinda lame. I don't know when my IKV order will...

    Joye 510 Std. Atties -- I'm through with these.

    It's official. All 5 are bad in some way.:mad:

    How long do orders take?

    My orders have always been packed and shipped right away. Vagaries of the post office do come in to play. For example, when Wordup was in Massachusetts, I'd get stuff from them faster than I got from a vendor in Chicago. As far as USPS goes, they don't always scan the bar code reliably. For...

    Other then the battery, there are typically 2 parts (not getting into tank systems, or bottom-feeders, or other stuff like that, just keeping to basics). There's an atomizer, and a cartridge. The atomizer has the coil that heats up to atomize the juice, plus some wicking/mesh material to feed...

    Nah. 520 is the same as 510. Same threads, same connector. In fact, there's a ton of stuff that works with 510 parts, because of using the same connectors. But, the 520 battery is exactly the same as the 510 battery, except for being more amp-hours. The CE2 cartomizer isn't, technically, a 520...

    Joye 510 Std. Atties -- I'm through with these.

    The ones from ecig supply are Joye. Don't think it matters what supplier I get 'em from. I've had genuine Joye from 5 places. I can only conclude that there's something I do that makes a difference. But lots of folks drip with eGos, so I don't know what it might be. Once I'm using a 3.7 mod, I...

    Well, for one thing, I'm amazed at a kit with only one battery. If it's a "sampler" thing, I suppose that makes sense, but it's nice to have a spare to use while the other is charging. If you decide you like using e-cigs, you'll want at least a couple more batteries. Now, visit the 510 forum...

    Joye 510 Std. Atties -- I'm through with these.

    The first ones I got that worked well were from ecigsupply and Cignot. These were all from ecigsupply. Real Joye, AFAIK.

    Joye 510 Std. Atties -- I'm through with these.

    I think this is very odd, still. My first 3 510 atties lasted months. Now, they've become a hit'n'miss proposition, with the emphasis on the miss. Last month, I ordered a 5-pack. Checked each one when they arrive on Sat, 22nd, for DOA, and all were functional. The first one I used lasted 8...

    Best Quality Atomizers?

    My only advice at this point is to avoid genuine Joye std. 510s. I'll have another thread here in a bit on that, but over the past several months, I've found them to be utterly undependable.

    Colorado Meetup Coming Up!

    I've already mentioned this here and there, but we need MOAR PEEPS! Well, actually, maybe not, because then there's more goodies for the rest of us. ;) But ... If you're in Colorado, or Wyoming, or New Mexico, or Utah, or Nebraska, or even Tuva, and you don't have anything going on Feb...

    Chargin eGoXL on Pila IBC

    Not completely mysterious is the futher observation that the Pila doesn't charge them to the same level as the eGo charger. I had thought, today, that my batt went dead a little too quickly. So I charged it on the Pila, then put it on the eGo charger. The LED flashed, and the charger is...

    looking for a 14500 battery device

    I can't recommend anything in particular, except that I'm going to buy a Mako Midi pretty soon, mostly based on price and simplicity. I haven't tried an end-button device, so I'm curious how well that works too. The Mako has a lockout feature, so I'm not too worried about accidental activation.

    You don't need to have anything to share. Just show up, maybe take home some samples, and enjoy it. We had a blast last time. Even if Rou didn't dance on the table.

    Chargin eGoXL on Pila IBC

    Well, that's an interesting thought. I do take it off right away -- since it takes only 2 hours to charge, it's easy for me to do that. But yeah, the circuitry of the eGo could well be causing an oscillation. Whether that actually gets to the cell itself, I don't know. The LED doesn't blink when...
