    New to this world.. where to start? What to buy? And where? UGH!!

    Not trying to fight, but while you were looking at the bigger kits and saying I had already followed the links they posted and saw the battery she has is very weak, not an eGo style at all. I was advising because I used one of those types of batteries (many many) of them for over 1 year and...

    New to this world.. where to start? What to buy? And where? UGH!!

    Such a huge difference in how these devices work (ecigs) and how to put together a car carburetor. Once you understand the concept of how a pv (personal vaporizer)/ecig works the easier it is to follow what all the techno jargon is referring to. Spend some more time reading about how these...

    That's interesting, a 180mah eGo...never knew they existed. I'm sorry you guys are upside down...that really really sucks. But please don't sink anymore money into that equipment unless you absolutely need to. Rather not see you guys throw money you really can't afford to do.

    New to this world.. where to start? What to buy? And where? UGH!!

    hmm.. I personally would suggest not spending any more money at that place unless you are buying juice from them. I suggested before that you should get a good battery up front instead of multiple ones for the reasons you've already come to realize. Having a battery with longer vape time is...

    Loooooooots of Questions

    I'll try my best to answer some of the questions. Q1 - Watts are watts are watts. If you've heard of the "kick" then its existence is to allow vapers to have the same experience across multiple devices and tanks/cartos. How it does this is by regulating the wattage produced. Therefore the...

    Just as everyone else has said, congrats!!! Once you become more comfortable with the fact that you are not "smoking" the transition to a bigger style battery will be much easier. Just to let you know it's possible in two months you're going to look at your hubby and say "I wish we would have...

    Inroducing at GotVapes - The Exciting NEW SLB eGo-V True Variable Voltage Pass Through eGo 3.0-6.0v with LCD Screen in BLACK, STAINLESS & Gray

    I love this battery!! But it does have some minor issues (doesn't everything) I'm in the process of installing a small nipple underneath the rubber ring that holds the fire button down/in. I'm hoping its small enough not to cause accidental firings as I like the recessed button allowing me...

    I started vaping nearly 2 years ago, so much has changed but its nice to finally be comfortable offering advice to all those about to start this transformation from Smoker to Vaper. I will say I have succeeded when I convince my mother to switch...been 2 years...a tough nut to crack!

    And yes, I understand what you mean by "burning that bridge". I'm pretty sure the majority of us felt that way, the "what if I spend all my cigarette money on this and it doesn't work..then what do I do?" But here is the thing. Lets say you had a $300 smoking budget and you decided you were...

    Ok, so you have a reason for quitting, both financial and health reasons; now lets inform you what you can expect from Vaping! Negatives first: 1. You may end up smoking/vaping more than when you were using cigarettes because it allows you to do so in places you might have chosen not to before...

    New to this world.. where to start? What to buy? And where? UGH!!

    Considering you and your partner are heavy smokers you are going to want something that can really produce the vapor needed. The biggest difference on the way an E-Cig feels when smoking it versus a traditional cigarette is the smoke that fills your lungs. It has to feel as natural to you as...

    eGo Twist, Vision Spinner or SLB eGo-V? New guy with questions.

    You know what...thats a pretty good idea! I could always take an exacto knife or razor blade to one to make it even shorter. How would you recommend gluing it? Would a super glue/krazy glue/gorilla glue work or just some hot glue? I literally just want a tiny bit more of a raised feel to the...

    eGo Twist, Vision Spinner or SLB eGo-V? New guy with questions.

    I have the SLB VV on a Vivi Nova 3.5 tank and LOVE IT! I just ordered the sleeve that will cover the eGo threads and set off the complete look. My only complaint matches everyone else; the firing button. While I like the fact that a flush button means I don't have to turn the device on and...

    Vision spinner and vv nova tank problems

    hmm... I thought I read some where that Vivi Nova tanks were not to be used with 100% VG? The only thing I've heard about using 100% VG in a Nova is that you need to trim the wicks so they barely touch the sides of the tank and then you need to do the "dip and twist" method to get the juice up...

    new to e-cigs, mine's not working, help!

    Sorry for the late response, I actually had this typed out once before but hit the wrong button :( Yes you would remove the push in tank from one end and unscrew the atomizer from the battery end. You would blow into the system from the tank end (where the wick is) and out to the battery end...

    new to e-cigs, mine's not working, help!

    As a previous owner of an Ego-T I know how frustrating that is. I agree with Jake above; sometimes it's just a matter of having juice on your post and not allowing a proper connection. However, my Ego-T atty's went bad really fast on me and is one of the reasons I purchased a Vivi Nova tank...

    Help..Husband can't get the hang of vaping

    If all the juices have come from different vendors with different pg/ch mixtures it sounds like a atty/filler/wick issue. Maybe have him try a clean atty with a drip tip? Lets first try ruling out the delivery method, then work on different juices. If you can get him to stop tasting .......

    To test to see if its a wicking problem try Dripping onto the atty; see if you get the flavor and less burnt flavor that way. Also your nova comes with 3 different heads a 1.8, a 2.4 and a 3 ohm and the 2.4 comes pre-installed. Have you switched the heads in your tank yet? You might have a...

    Cleaning Vision eGo Clearomizer V3

    Depends on how frugal you want to be and how much time you want to spend on maintaining your Nova honestly. The heads are less then $3 each but if you can make them last longer you can apply that money for other things. Or you can buy more heads and save time. Heck if you really want to get...

    Cleaning Vivi Nova question

    Yeah I'm not saying tap water will destroy the atty but it has the potential to do weird things to the flavors no?...especially the first few burns. Also everyones tap water is different, hard..soft...excessive iron or other minerals if using well water. Just a suggestion, a gallon of...
