    1st CoVapE Meetup -- Kick Some Ideas Around -- October 9th, in Castle Rock

    I've had the tube on only a few times in the past couple years. Last time was this year's Super Bowl, which I wasn't actually watching intently -- just had it on while doing other things. I actually switched off the power strip that has all the video stuff plugged in to it. Haven't thought of a...

    1st CoVapE Meetup -- Kick Some Ideas Around -- October 9th, in Castle Rock

    I'd prefer a nice long documentary about John Moses Browning and John Garand.

    eGoXL and Drip Tip, FTW!

    Thanks. I'm kinda pondering cartomizers, but I have pile of 510 carts, and I don't often drive where I can't drip while waiting at a stop light. With winter coming on, I do need to come up with a plan for that, because dripping in the dark sitting at a stop light doesn't work too well for me. I...

    I plan on being there. Just myself. :(

    Thoughts after upgrading from the 510 to the ego

    Have read the "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About your 510" thread? There's a cart alignment picture.

    Thoughts after upgrading from the 510 to the ego

    The big eGo batteries deliver the same voltage as a std. 510 battery. Higher maH doesn't mean more voltage.

    eGoXL and Drip Tip, FTW!

    Holy smokestack, Batman!:drool: I doubt I'll ever have that much vaping hardware around. I'm pretty much a 'find what works and stick with it' guy. I am going to experiment with a DIY batt mod, but other than that, I'm happy with the eGo.

    eGoXL and Drip Tip, FTW!

    I chose the eGo for 2 reasons; battery life and 510 compatibility. The eGoXL battery is 900mah, and I get 10-12 hours on it. I already had 510 stuff, so it was the shortest path to longer battery life, without buying something like a BB or other large battery holder. Granted, once you have a BB...

    Maybe not even pot. Anybody could call and complain the they're allowing smoking. Now instead of a bunch of folks spending money, it's become a hassle. Uh, anyone have an RV? I mean, there's always the Wal-Mart parking lot. ;) Thanks again, Kyle, for your efforts here.

    They say confession is good for the soul

    Well, that's the first definition I ever knew.

    We're Coloradans! We're made of tough enough stuff to brave the elements with our e-cigs! If necessary, some of us could share body heat. :ohmy: :evil:

    Thoughts after upgrading from the 510 to the ego

    Oh, well I don't know that term, specifically, but it sounds like it's the max current the battery can supply without degraded performance. Typically, what happens is the voltage sags if you exceed the battery's max current draw capacity. Then there's overheating, and I don't know what else.

    Battery Voltages -- Surprise!

    Hi Scottbee. If you have the time to spare, and you're feeling generous with it, check here for the backstory. TIA.

    Thoughts after upgrading from the 510 to the ego

    Of course, all you have to do is change the resistance of the load. Charging a LiIon battery isn't quite such a simple operation. And your argument assumes that the 510 and eGo battery present the same load during charging. Do they? I don't know. What I do know, from reading at Battery...

    1st CoVapE Meetup -- Kick Some Ideas Around -- October 9th, in Castle Rock

    So far, I count 9 people who've stated for sure they'll show up. I don't know what it costs to rent a meeting room, but here in lovely Colorado, we'd still potentially be fighting the smoking ban too. Yeah, I know, we're not smoking, but anybody running a business is going to weigh whether they...

    ordered my joye 510 kit yesterday from cignot

    Might as well nip this in the bud. Don't know how much you've read on the forum here, so you might already know. Ignore the 8-hour initial charge directions for the batteries. LiIon batteries typically are stored with about 40% charge, so you'll be able to start vaping right away, after you've...

    Thoughts after upgrading from the 510 to the ego

    Actually, no. The eGo uses the same, or very similar circuitry as the 510. Delivers the same power to the atty. A "bigger" battery, in terms of maH will last longer, given the same load. But you can't get around ohms law. In order to deliver more amperage to the same atty, you'd need higher...

    FreedomSmokeUSA Dissatisfied Review

    I find that adding mayonnaise helps. :evil: BTW, I'm mostly on the fence for "steeping". If it's a single flavoring agent diffused in PG/VG with nic, I suspect there's little affect. The analog in the world of cooking is that some recipes will taste slightly different after the flavors from...

    This tip fits a std. 510 atomizer.
