    burnt hits with my ceramic ce2

    Take all of the seals out. Anything hard and thin will do the job, maybe a blunt nail file or toothpick. Where you can see the two slots on the cup, that's where you want to raise it from. The one that sits over the cup, you want to cut the seal slots into a /\ shape. Just a bit wider and taller...

    When to charge battery

    I don't think it matters too much as they wont let you discharge them too much. Mine cuts off around 3.3 so you might want to think about charging them up again when it gets near there. It's said if you charge them before you reach the cutoff point you might prolong the battery life a little...

    Newbie looking for an upgrade: SMK EGO 510, Riva 510 or Riva 901? Help me pls

    They're all relatively similar. The ego is 3.2v (ish) regulated and the riva isn't regulated meaning it will start around 4.2v once it's fully charged then dip to about 3.2v when it's needing charged. Because of that I'd probably choose the riva as it's higher voltage to start which is what I'm...

    As my username says...really was a coincidence but I'm so glad it happened...

    Yes. I should have been more clear, sorry. Like you said, there's three seals: mouthpiece, middle one with no nicks and the cup seal. The one you're looking to cut is the cup seal one. You can use the middle seal but it's much less secure and will wick rediculously quickly. If you snip the...

    Where/How do you store your juice?

    I usually keep my juice in the bottles they come in :p Usually I have a lot of juices on the table with my laptop, and a bunch in a box on the floor next to me and a bunch in the drawer next to me and a bunch in another box ontop of the drawer next to me. I used the kit boxes my egos and...

    How many mL per month?

    ^ Average ML used per day so you can scale it up to monthly use. I did used to go through about 30ml a month but now I'm on higher voltages with lower ohms... I'm over double that :D

    Ego VV Batts or LavaTube?

    I have an ego booster and a lavatube (not that that qualifies my opinion any more than anyone elses). The ego booster is pretty great for its size and it is a VV device that looks alright on an ego battery. I didn't often have the wheel cranked up to max either so its range was suitable for my...

    As my username says...really was a coincidence but I'm so glad it happened...

    If the coil is glowing when you're using it, it's a sure sign it's underwicking. It's a very easy solution for this since you've done most of it already: Take out all of the seals, and the inside seal that sits over the cup, snip the seal slots a little wider. You want them to be a /\ shape...

    You've read about the worst. What about the best vaping produicts of 2011?

    Best heating element for me is the latest CE2. Been using CE2s for a while and these are so much less hassle. I still need to trim the seal slots so it'll wick VG but I don't need to make syringe cases for them anymore. Best pv, it's a close call between the lavatube (finally, some vv mod you...

    New user thinking of buying a Lava tube

    I own a decent little collection of pvs (not that that qualifies my opinion any more than anyone elses) and all that other good stuff to use with them. Out of everything I own, I'm using my lavatube the most. It is definately worth the price for what it is. Recommended, highly, especially if...

    Thirsty, is this normal while vaping?

    Being thirsty more than usual is the one annoying thing about vaping for me. It's still a far cry for the awful time I was having from smoking so I can deal with it. I use chewing gum to keep my saliva levels up when I'm working and can't get to water af often and it makes a massive difference...

    Which side of the fence are you on and why?

    I vape in public with my volts because they look like cigarettes. Everyone here smokes, has smokes or knows a smoker. There are so few antis, I've never met one. I don't want the attention I get when I use something that doesn't look like a cigarette as, to the uninformed, it looks like a pipe...

    How do you guys mark cartomizers?

    I used some nail polish dots. I don't wear nail polish, I borrowed them from my flatmate, honest :facepalm: Before I did that I borrowed their hairbobble things... like those fabric elastic band things to put on them but it looks kinda weird using that outside so I switched to nail polish...

    where to start

    Can you give a little more info on what you want your ecig to be like? If you don't know what's out there I'll give you as much of a head start as I can. For cigarette shape and size, I don't think there is much better than the Kr808D-1's out there right now from: Volt: Smokeless Image | Only...

    Is it bad to vape too much?

    1 cartridge a day at 16mg is way under average. I wouldn't worry about that being too much. I'm not sure what you've been told about the nicotine content, so here's roughly how it goes: 1 cigarette has roughly 10mg of nicotine in it, and you absorb around 1mg of that. That is what the mg...

    Anyone familiar with Smoov?

    I've never heard of smoov but they look like they carry 808 models similar to the volt/bloog and all that other good stuff. What's the trouble with them? With the vendor or the ecig? If it's with the ecig, I'm sure a lot of the guys (and gals) here could point you in the right direction :)

    Steamz Ultra e-cigarrette

    How did I miss that you were a fellow UK'er? If you're wanting the cig style you can pick up an 808 from Electronic cigarettes UK –buy Electric cigarette or E-Cigarettes online or Creator/Volt/Revolution . They're both in the UK so you'll avoid the hefty import charges I got when I got my volt...

    Clearomizer Question

    Yes you can use a 901/808 - 510 converter. I haven't actually used one going that way though. I do own a 510 - 901/808 adapter and it works for putting my 808 gear onto my 510 stuff if I feel like it. I'd guess a converter going the other way should work too. I got mine from liberty flights but...

    Steamz Ultra e-cigarrette

    I'm not 100% but based on the ecig on the steamz website it looks like it's a M40x model (ie M401, M402 or M403). If you really want to you could find some M40x cartomisers to use with it but they tend to be sold by vendors who charge way too much for them. It's a model that isn't really in use...
