    Next week will pass 11 years without a cigarette

    Can't take any credit for abstaining, as vaping made it quite painless. Just turned 80 without my previous breathing difficulties.

    Over a decade with a 69 clone.

    How I fixed the only flaw with my (kicked) 69 clone. (After a decade ). The 69 lacks a battery spring and had spotty connection due to its telescopic threads. This simple magnet holds the spring on the battery itself and solves that. As it is SS, couldn't secure the spring any other simple...

    Safety comparison of unprotected battery+kick vs protected battery.

    .69 by NickSteel posted Dec 13, 2015 at 11:58 AMUse: Tube mech @ 8W and Protank with 2.0 coils Have read numerous conflicting posts and articles and remain confused. Is a name brand protected battery safe to use, or is use of an unprotected battery w/ kick safer? I have also read conflicting...

    Rubber coating mod

    Anyone coated a mod with some sort of liquid rubber? I have some very scratched up old mods that no longer have rubber cases available.

    Switch magnet for 69 clone.

    Just replaced the spring in my Hcigar 69 clone with magnets. Used a #60 Danco oring from Lowes and a couple 10mm x 1mm .5mm Hole Ring Earth magnets. The kicked 69 clone w/18500 battery and Aerotank is my favorite mod, but the switch was too sensitive and fired too easily. Much better now.

    69 Clone Kick Extension

    Still using my old 69 clone after two years. Still wish there was a simple inexpensive kick extension - not just a Chi You tube that defeats telescoping. Just a short tube that fits directly below the switch section to allow a kick + 18650. Ordered one of these for $10 as a spare, same as...

    69 Clone 18650 + Kick Extension

    I have several mods, but the kicked 69 with an Aerotank has always been a favorite. I have used it with a Chi You extension, but was wondering if someone has found an alternative that allows the mod to telescope with a kick+18650 installed - like a tube section that fits directly below the...

    69 Clone - First Impression

    I've been using a 69 clone from Fasttech for the past two weeks and it has quickly become my daily device. I use it with a kick+18500+aerotank. I had been using a Nemesis clone+kick for six months. It is the most simple spinner/ego alternative I've found, offering (with a kick) vw and...

    69 Clone Tubes

    Is the 69's button assembly compatible with any other mod's tubes? In other words, will the top section fit on another mod.

    Kick section with button?

    I wish someone would design a kick tube section with an integrated side button for mechs. It would instantly convert a Nemesis clone or other mech into a small, rugged VW pseudo mod with a Poldiac style button. There's already a grounding spur on the side of kicks that could be utilized...

    Longest lasting (safe) 18350 battery for SVD?

    I currently use Efest IMR 800's in my SVD when I need to "shrink" the size. Are there longer lasting 18350's that are safe to use?

    Does anyone sell a padded Vamo sleeve - not a wrap.

    Does anyone offer a slip on leather or fabric tube that could offer some padding. Not a wrap, but a sleeve with a cut-out for controls that would make the Vamo more comfortable to hold and also cushion drops. I haven't dropped mine (yet), but have found several instances.

    Better than a Vamo?

    I'm kinda new to vapeing. I have a Vamo and keep seeing other much more expensive mods being advertised. Since the Vamo is VV and VW and costs a fraction of some other mods, what advantages do others actually offer other than esthetics?

    Best Kanger T3 wick

    I have no problem creating a coil on a 4/40 machine screw and wicking with 4 strands of 1mm silica. I have also wicked with 3mm silica. I have no gurgles, excellent vapor, etc, but wish to maximize flavor. Just redid a perfect T3 with a bad coil. Have tried various "flavor" wicks, but cannot...

    Hobby?

    Didn't imagine that smoking (vaping) could become a hobby. Since switching 3 months ago, went from disposables to Spinner/Clearomizer to Vamo/T3. In addition to the obvious advantages gained through switching, it's a lot more interesting!:tongue: New gadgets every week.

    Vision Spinner Lifespan - How long will it accept recharging?

    I've been using a single Vision Spinner for more than 2 months so far (days shown in signature). I do have spares, but want to see how long a unit will remain functional before requiring replacement. A this point, it seems to work as well as it did originally. I use it for 12-14 hours daily...
