    Fabricating a Y-Connector for dual 510 atomizers?

    Hi all, My first post in years. I've recently gotten back into vaping. I am currently using two old school Joyetech Egos (with the 510 atomizer), and rubber-banded the two together, so as to vape both at the same time. Very impressive clouds of vapor, but have three problems: - The heat...

    What I've learned and gained, in my first year of vaping

    Hi All, I haven't posted to this forum in months, but, with one year under my belt, so to speak, I decided to post this. I recall that afternoon well - July 24, 2009. I had recently received a batch of 901 stuff in the mail and was elated. I recall my last analog, a Pall Mall light 100. I...

    CBS News blog rates "E-Cigarettes" as among "Good Stuff" at CES

    From the article: "4) E-Cigarettes Ron Brinkmann tweeted me his odd pick, the smokeless electronic cigarettes laying low at a booth in the "Lifestyle Gadgets" section. Created by Fifty-One, these e-cigarettes feel and taste like a cigarette without any of the chemicals or second hand smoke, so...

    Mod for extra vapor from 901

    I don't know if this has already been discussed, but not long after I built my first battery mod (Jaaxx's Juicybox 3AA NIMH mod), I found that taping over the 901's atomizer hole, so that the air is pulled in through the battery box, increases the amount of vapor produced. Also, the draw is...

    JuicyBox musings

    Hi all, Well, I've had my 3 AA NIMH JuicyBox (close to Jaaxx's design) going for several weeks now. It delivers vapor equivalent to the stock 901 battery, fits the hand nicely and has the merit of delivering a whole day's vaping on a single charge. I'm wanting , though, to try a higher...

    Electronic cigarettes lack smoke but not addiction Quote regarding vaping as an alternative to smoking: “There are no benefits whatsoever. You are still getting nicotine in the form of a cigarette,” she said. “It even looks like a normal cigarette so the psychological addiction of still...

    Comprehensive Atomizer Life Span Survey

    Hi all, It seems to me, that the best way to find out how to maximize atomizers' working life is to have a sufficient number of experienced vapers answer a comprehensive questionnaire, so that useful correlations can be made. Atomizers may become very dear, if a ban goes through. :(...

    Industrial Vaping mod?

    Hi all, Has anyone built a belt pack of 4, D or C cell NIMH batteries, for serious vaping? Seems to me, it'd be nice to have the 5000/10,000 mah's available. I'm considering going for it.

    A good glue(s) to use for Juicybox?

    Hi all, Just yesterday, I built my first mod; a simple 3 AA NIMH powered Juicybox variant for the DSE 901. I'm very pleased with its battery life/vapor production performance, but need advice on which glue(s) to use to make it more sturdy. I'd post a pic, but do not have enough seniority, I...

    sickly sweet, medicinal smelling/tasting PG

    Hi all, I just opened my pint bottle of Paddock brand PG, that I bought from the local pharmacy a few days ago. Not only is it thicker than the only other PG I've had from an e-liquid seller, but it smells; kind of sickly sweet/medicinal. Is it normal for PG to have a taste/smell, or should...

    901 auto battery stuck on

    Hi all, I have a 901 auto battery that is stuck on: the led is glowing the same color as it does when normally used. I put it outside, just to be careful. Any way of unsticking it before the battery is fried? It's been going for about 10 minutes, now. Thanks, Jherek

    Having second thoughts....

    Hi all, Tomorrow it will be a week since I got the DSE 901, and while I haven't smoked an analog since that day, I've had neophyte troubles aplenty with the 901. I've had THREE atomizers go bad. One is totally dead because I damaged it with tweezers trying to fix it (broke the power leads)...

    Melting Cart

    Hi all, I noted a bit of a burning taste, despite topping off often, so checked the cart on my 901.... the flat part of the portion of the cart that goes into the atomizer is melted a bit! Also, I checked the old cart I was using yesterday - same story, the cart is melted a bit along the flat...

    I can't wait for my e cigs to arrive!

    Hi all, I've smoked analogs for over 25 years. Although, I was able to cut down using the gum, lozenges, etc. to like half a pack a day, I've never been able to fully quit. From what I've read on these forums, though, it looks like I've got a fighting chance. On Wednesday, last week, I...
