    Why sub-ohm on a DNA device?

    I understand sub-ohming on a mech, since you are dealing with limited, non-variable power. So you have to sub-ohm, to get into the higher watts. But on something like a DNA chipped device, do sub-ohm builds still offer an advantage of any kind? Will my vape experience be different with a...

    Any "beauty ring" replacements for the V5?

    I prefer a non-tapered ring, so my bigger tanks have that flush look. Does anyone make a straight-edge top cap for the V5? With how popular the Vamo is, you'd think someone would be making top caps for them, but searching Google and here isn't giving me any results. If worst comes to worst...

    Nitecore Intellicharger i4 getting warm.

    Just got a Nitecore Intellicharger i4 V2, and threw in some brand new Panasonic CGR18650CH's to fully charge before their first use. This is the first time using the charger, and I notice that the charger body itself is getting warm. Not the batteries themselves, as those are not warm at all...

    XTar WP2 problems

    I have an XTar WP2. When you plug in the charger, the lights are green and then when you insert a batt that needs charging, it turns red while it charges and then green when its done. Now, it stays green and never indicates that its charging with a battery in place, even though I know they...

    Power problems with my V1 Vamo?

    I've had this V1 Vamo for about a year, and it's been great. The only performance issue I've had over the last year is when the o-ring went bad, but that was an easy fix. But last week or so, just randomly, the power seemed to die off. I got into micro-coils and cotton a few months ago and...

    Bolt + CGR18650CH batts? Safety question......

    Since the Bolt does not have any built-in safety features, you're supposed to use protected batteries, correct? Well my Vamo is out of commission for awhile, and the batteries I have for it (Panasonic CGR18650CH) are unprotected, since the Vamo has built-in protection. I noticed that using...

    Preferred air hole size in RSST?

    What air hole size are most going with, when drilling out the RSST air hole? It seems 1/16 is pretty common?

    Any cons to silica wick sleeves?

    I have some "XS-18 Silica Sleeving" on the way. I also have an RSST and some FC-2000 ceramic wicks. From what I can tell by reading and watching videos, you need the coil to be pretty snug against a ceramic wick in order to get maximum performance. So people are doing "hot wraps" in order to...

    Cheapest place to get Vivi Nova replacement heads?

    I'm all stocked up on everything I need for awhile, so my usual "just tack it onto an order I'm already planning on putting in" method isn't ideal this time around. I'm looking for the best place to pick up just VN replacement heads. Cheapest or free shipping is preferred, since I won't be...

    Any way to tighten the 510 connection?

    I've noticed that the 510 connection on my Vamo is getting a little wobbly. I'm not very rough on it, but I can now grab whatever tank is mounted on top and wiggle it around a little bit. I should note, I haven't had an actual connection issue, or had the device not fire when I've hit the...

    Thumbs up for MadVapes.com!

    I recently got my mother into vaping, and decided to set her up with the same setup as me, since it has been working wonderfully. This setup is a Bolt + Vivi Nova tank. I received her kit and gave it to her. It worked for about a day, and then wouldn't fire. I started a ticket with MadVapes...

    Beginner RBA?

    I'm really interested in getting into RBA's. I'm watching videos and reading up, but it's pretty overwhelming and seems sort of difficult. Are there any RBA's that would be better for a beginner, or are they all pretty much the same difficulty level? To be specific, I'm looking for something...

    Hard carry case/tube for Bolt?

    Are any of you carrying your Bolt in some sort of hard case or tube? I got my mom one, and since she'll be keeping it in her purse, and there is no shut-off on the Bolt, a hard case/tube would be nice, to prevent from accidental firing. I was thinking even something like a toothbrush travel...

    Got my Vamo yesterday. $40 well spent!

    It came in the mail yesterday and I used it all afternoon, on break at work last night, and all this morning (I work 3rd shift). It's been running like a champ! I had already ordered and received a Helix spring for a replacement, just in case. I didn't even try it with the factory spring (but...

    Two thumbs up for ExhaleVapors.com!

    They were offering a smoking deal on the Vamo for 40% off, so I jumped on it. It arrived 2 days after I received my shipping notification (from TX to NY, no less). The device itself is great. Abe, the owner/operator, was more than willing to work with his customers once he found out about the...

    What are some vendors with 18mg-20mg juice?

    On my never-ending search for that perfect juice, I think I've come to the conclusion that 18mg-20mg is what will work best for me. But most places I've ordered from don't have 18mg-20mg juice. It seems to jump from 16mg to 24 mg. 16mg seems a little weak, and I find myself vaping more. 24mg...

    Anyone order juice from JuicyVapor lately?

    I see they give a rough estimate of 4-6 business days before shipping, but they say that it fluctuates. I put an order in for a 5-pack sampler at the beginning of the week. I realize this was during the holidays, and I'm not growing impatient. Just curious if anyone has ordered from them...

    Have a Vamo on order, and some questions.......

    This will be my first VV/VW device (currently using a Bolt). So you can either choose to run it in VV or VW mode. If you run it in VV mode, you pick a setting and leave it there. If you want to change heads (I'm going to be using my Vivi Nova tank), then you also need to change the volts...

    How long did your "quitter's flu" last?

    Just hit week 2 of no cigs, and the past few days have been horrible. Constant headache, bodyache, totally stuffed nose, sometimes dizzy, threw up a few times, freezing one minute, sweating bullets the next. Just curious, for those that had the pleasure of getting the quitter's flu, how long...

    Quit smoking calculator app?

    I'm looking for an app to keep track of how long I've been quit, how many cigarettes I've avoided and how much money I've saved, by quitting smoking. Basically, a smartphone widget that does what the banners in many people's signatures do. I tried looking in the Play Store (Android app store)...
