    Wal-Mart has tank and battery setups now..

    It could very well introduce some to vaping who might not otherwise try it. And it is certainly nice to have a big chain like Wal Mart carry something that would actually work in case of emergency, even if the juice is overpriced.

    I am really at a loss and need help very much please

    If you are killing 5 batteries a day, you must be doing some serious vaping, :ohmy:. Like others have stated, small and 18650 really don't go hand in hand. MVP sounds like it may the answer you are looking for, but even that may not last you all day at your pace and the batteries are built...

    Newbie w/ eGo C Twist Question

    Never tried the tank system you are referring too, but from what I have heard it is best to avoid those, they are an older style and don't have a very good reputation. I also don't recommend rebuildables for newer vapers. Stick with the stuff with replaceable coils, and when/if you are ready...

    TFA Strawberry Ripe concentrate: Best/cheapest place to buy?

    For the small bottles Wizard Labs is hard to beat, you could check The Flavor Apprentice website to get larger quantities. I am sure others will chime in with more helpful information.

    just starting out...feedback appeciated

    I'll just say hello and welcome to ECF, seems others have covered your questions and concerns fairly well. And you know where to turn when you have more questions.

    Still Confused :-(

    Like CreepyLady stated, both will get you where you want to be, and with a VV/VW you can only use one or the other. Watts has the advantage of adjusting the volts to keep the watts consistent. However set and forget may be a bit optimistic, again CreepyLady covered this, but different toppers...

    Vision Spinner users, need advice on settings etc.

    Like others have stated, you will find your own sweet spot One trick some use is to take the resistance of the topper and add 2 to it, then adjust from there. So a 2.2 ohm coil would be a 4.2 starting point, then adjust up or down for your sweet spot. The start low and dial up is also a great...

    ZMAX & Battery life.

    That is a SmokTech, they aren't exactly know for the best quality, maybe contact MyVaporStore and see what they have to say. It really shouldn't be draining those batteries that quick, and most batteries will rebuild some sort of charge if left to sit.

    Vamo V5 and "danger" reading

    Never heard of the flashing Danger readout. No2 (RMS) should be the setting you want. Holding the the + button for 10 seconds or so should change it to the other setting. But if it is going back and forth between watts and volts, I would be leery of it.

    ZMAX & Battery life.

    I highly doubt that is a feature, I have a Sigelei V2 and Sig mini Zmax and neither act like that, I thinking you got a bad Zmax. How hard are you using it when that happens, and what type of batteries are you using ( IMR/brand)?

    Help Wanted Vamo vs SVD

    Between the Vamo and SVD I would go with the SVD, a little better electronics and more consistent build quality. My V2 Vamo has held up well, but then again it was only used as my main device for maybe two months. It sort took the sidelines when I got the V2 Sigelei Zmax. Some people have had...

    Mod shorting issue

    I'm thinking the O.P. will have to do the same. Just curious, what topper(s) are you using when this happens, any big juice spills, and does the Zmax cutoff at the low vol warning? This could be dangerous if it is discharging the batteries rapidly. You might want to get a different device...

    Mod shorting issue

    I'm going to guess the Zmax is at fault, but that is just a guess. Might be helpful if you others know let what kind of batteries you have, and if it is the same batteries repeatedly or just random batteries. Once the batteries get drained below 2.5 volts they can be damaged, have you checked...

    just ordered a provari

    Welcome to ECF. If its reliable you want, you made the right choice. Although I have to admit I surprised about your luck with the VTR, Innokin is one of the better Chinese companies. Anyway, welcome to the club.

    Newbie here!

    Hello and welcome to ECF, you have two years experience, very nice. Any questions you may have, feel free to ask, with two years you should be able to help some newcomers as well. Just curious, what PV(s)/topper(s) are you using?

    2 chargers - what's the diff?

    Not sure if you got a manual with your eroll, so here is a link to a downloadable manual from Joyetech. Joyetech eRoll Manual And like chefkeith posted, you should be able to charge your eroll before you get your juice. As for the chargers, they should have information on them somewhere...

    VV/VW mods reliability

    Luck of the draw,although Innokin is one of the better Chinese companies. SVD and Tesla have pretty good reputations, as well as Joyetech Twist and Vision Spinners. Vamo is hit and miss, can't comment on Evic. Sigelei Zmax is also well regarded. There is a reason why devices like ProVari...

    Shhh vaping while in the hospital

    This is what really got me started, on Dec 6th of 2012 I had shoulder surgery. Normally an outpatient procedure, I knew they were going to keep me at least one night because of the triple bypass I had in June of 2012. I bought a Joyetech Ego C upgrade, 650 MAH, which I keep n a shaving kit...

    Need a new setup

    Like Mira asked, it would be helpful if we knew more. I like the Ego VV batteries for a starter kit, Joyetech Twist, Vision Spinner, and the iTaste V3 VV/VW. With something like the Kanger Evod as a topper, but it could be you already tried that.
