    Help me identify (and clean!) my eGo-T clone?

    I should have known what I ordered wasn't a genuine eGo-T when I paid only $6.25/atty, but it performed great for a couple of days... when it started getting juice discoloration, I decided to pry off the needle plate and do a clean and dry burn, I totally destroyed it. At first I thought the...

    Cleaning the Bud Sapphire cartomizer

    I just got a couple of these Bud Sapphires and first impressions are pretty good. I've been getting consistent wicking, no real problems with leaking or gurgling as long as I'm careful not to let any juice go into the airflow channel when I fill it, nice vapor and flavor, good throat hit, but...

    Nicotine content, equivalence to analogs

    So I decided to Google last night, how much nicotine is in a single analog cigarette... and I first found a link saying that 1 cigarette equals approximately 1mg of nicotine.... At that point, I kinda freaked out. When I started vaping again about 2 months ago, I had been trying to cut down on...

    GotVapes -- turned it around!

    I placed an order about 2 weeks ago from GotVapes.com, and proceeded to spend the next 8 days stalking the mailman. Obviously I can't fault them for the USPS being slow and ineffectual, but I was already on edge by the time the package came. When it finally arrived, I tore it open like a kid...

    High Caliber Turkish Tobacco

    Just received a few new flavors today from MyVaporStore, and decided to give the High Caliber Turkish Tobacco top billing. This decision was made in part based on the smell, which made me wonder if I really wanted to vape this. The first impression is not unlike an ashtray, filled with smoked...

    Best e-liquid for eGo-T?

    Hey gang, I'm trying to dial in the perfect liquid for use with my eGo-T. My understanding is that the ideal mixture is 70/30 PG/VG (please correct me if I'm wrong), but what I've found after purchasing from a couple different vendors is that there can be a very big difference in consistency...

    ElixirLiquid, 3 so far....

    I just posted a round-up on my newly received Flux Nectar liquids, so I thought I'd go back and review what has been my go-to up until today, the fine folks at ElixirLiquid.com. Gotta say, I've been real impressed with everything I've tried so far. My understanding is everything is 70/30...

    Flux Nectar, batch of 3 -- day 1 impressions

    So today I received my first order from GotVapes.com. I decided to give their Flux Nectar e-liquids a whirl. The prices are great for 36ml bottles, and they have a really nice list of flavors. I ordered: Pyramid Fusion -- 24mg Strawberry Peach -- 17mg Caramel Apple -- 11mg (though I...

    Dry burn smell/taste reduction?

    Hey guys, I've now successfully rebuilt and dry-burned one of my atomizers a couple of times, and each time the vapor production and flavor is vastly improved... the flavor takes awhile, as the first 30 puffs or so have that horrible dry burn taste to them. It subsides after awhile, but I'm...

    Houston Vapers?

    Hey guys, I'm a fairly recent transplant to Houston from Los Angeles, after my wife and I moved here to have our first child in a city with a much lower cost of living. Unfortunately, I really don't know anyone out here besides my in-laws, since I work from home for an LA-based company and...

    Wick Adjustment / Atty Rebuild for Better Vapor

    Hey gang, I've tried reading through tons of forum posts but can't quite get a good feel for this. My 3-week old Ego-T has one atty that has consistently underperformed since day one -- very little vapor, very little flavor. It also has a very loose draw, like sucking air through a straw -- I...

    Clearomizer vs Ego-T

    Has anybody tried the Clearomizers on their Ego-T kit? The reviews I've seen seem good, whereas even as much as I love the Ego-T, I do run into some issues with it and I've seen a lot of folks say the flavor sucks... since I have nothing else to compare to, I don't know... maybe I'm missing out...

    Back from the wilderness

    Hey gang, I tried vaping 3 years ago, and my general impression was "this is awesome, but the technology sucks." I was using the old disposable cartridges on the skinny cigarette-looking batteries, I think they were produced by several different manufacturers or at least sold by many different...

    Stiff draw, burnt taste

    I've had my ego-t for about a week now, and I've got to say it's leaps and bounds above the mini e-cig I had 3 years ago... don't even want analogs anymore... But I'm running into a problem with one of my atomizers.... after about a week of use on the first one, I notice the flavors are duller...

    The best liquid?

    I'm placing an order today for a few vials of liquid, but I'm still not sure from who... at this point I think I'm torn between Johnson Creek and JantyUSA... I'd love to hear other people's favorite producers of liquid, as well as who makes garbage that no one should waste their time with...
