    MVP Button Wobble Fix (easy way)

    I just picked up an MVP 2 from work to try out and I only had two complaints. One was the wobble, but turns out that was only a one minute fix. Thanks for the advice! I also thought it would work similar to the iTaste vv v3 and be able to switch from volts to watts. Not a fan of having to cycle...

    Drying out cotton after boiling

    I've been using cotton balls for wicks with micro coils, I figured I was safe buying organic 100% cotton balls, but realized they are treated with hydrogen peroxide. So now I'm boiling the cotton balls before use. I've found tons of instruction on boiling, but nothing about drying them. It's...

    Looking to Upgrade

    I see you're in the Portland area, I'd check out Division Vapor. Good selection of VV/VW mods, I don't believe they have Provaris, but the owner uses one. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

    Is it bad to chain vape nic juice?

    I smoked half a pack a day and now pretty much vape all day with 12 mg. As long as I'm staying hydrated I don't seem to notice any ill effects.

    did you guys know that SEAL is meant to stay ON?

    Once when I disassembled it, I took mine off for a full cleaning, I totally forgot to put it back on and started vaping and couldn't figure out what was going on and why it was leaking, then I spotted that little silicone cap on the table...

    Don't keep EGOs in your back pocket

    I've had bad luck with egos. The only one that worked I sold to a friend, my smoktech winder stops charging after just 2 months and I snapped an ego-t in a very similar fashion while hiking (one day I will meet someone with a soldering pen).

    Cottony Wick & Micro-coil

    PBusardo was using organic cotton balls that he purchased from walgreens in his review (or at least the ones I bought at walgreens are the exact same). It's been wicking great for me and I like it better than ekowool (what I was using). I'm sure I could get at least 10 wicks from one ball, and...

    Cottony Wick & Micro-coil

    I should have a spool of wire arrive today or tomorrow, and will be picking up some cotton as well. Can't wait to try my hand at this on my RDA, and then finally revive all those wasted heads I have been collecting.

    What the hell is up with Kanger's "flavor wicks"?

    I kept getting a burned taste if I used more than 4 watts (~3.2V) with a 2.5 ohm head. I took out both flavor wicks and it is working so much better, working great on 7-8 watts now. I'm also using 70% VG and not having any issues with flooding (I've been keeping it on it's side though when not...

    I'm back

    ...from 5 weeks of geologic work in the high desert. The change in elevation caused a 30 ml bottle to explode and I also managed to snap an ego t in half while hiking up an outcrop. Good thing I brought plenty of juice and a backup battery. Cheap ce4 clearos got me though the trip as well as a...

    Converting the significant other

    So over two months ago, I made the switch - both me and my SO were going to vape, but....well I got pretty obsessed with it. My constant talking about it made her not want to try it at all. She would try it ever so often, usually when she didn't have a pack, but never liked it too much. Last...

    Vaping outdoors versus indoors

    At least from my own experience: I think part of it is psychological. When I'm outside and it's windy (I live right by the beach, it gets pretty dang windy) when I exhale, it dissipates so quick, I feel like I didn't puff anything at all. Even if I get the same throat hit, not seeing that big...

    Noob's equipment corner: Kanger T3 vs Vivi Nova

    I like the loose draw of the Kanger, but if you remove a wick from the vivi nova, it has a nice smooth draw too. I can get the kanger to quit leaking if I take it apart, and completely dry the center out, but after a while it starts to gurgle and spit liquid into my mouth. Never had a problem...

    45 Days Ago

    45 days ago, I made the switch to e-cigs. 45 days ago, I smoked my last cigarette. I just wanted to thank the community for helping me get started and for all the support - I'm not sure this habit could have been upheld without it. 45 days ago, I began my start to this collection:

    My 1st Mod

    Here's the collection so far. Scaled the image down a bit, hopefully it'll still look good. Loving the vamo. I like the kanger T3 with it, but loving the vivi nova (once the top wick was removed). Smooth easy draw, great amount of vapor and all the juice I've put in it tastes amazing. I...

    Quality 1000+mah vv pass throughs

    Sorry to hijack - but after a month I just now learn I have two modes on my battery? Guess I didn't need to rewire those kanger heads.

    Back to analogs. need help finding cruilty-free vegan DIY supplies.

    I think you have confused additive-free with cruelty-free. Reynolds American owns American Spirit and they do a ton of animal testing. I won't get into the vegan thing - but if that is truly your lifestyle then I would pay the extra for vaping if I could find a company that met my...

    I'm sorry, but I need to rant

    So far there aren't laws about e-cigs. Current legislation might make e-cigs banned where tobacco is, but not yet. But hey, these dive bars here in SC don't enforce the tobacco bans. Also, I wouldn't hold it over them or almost "blackmail" them. I use to smoke in these bars when I was a smoker...

    I'm sorry, but I need to rant

    So i'm at my local bar, my friend is trying to quit smoking and is smoking a herbal mix. No tobacco, and nothing illegal, just herbs. Bar tender tells him to put it out. A while later the bar tender tells me to put a way my PV. I do, but now I'm out side on my phone. Because here's the thing...

    Everything seems to be not working

    Thank you. I was told by crxess that T3s run around 2.5 ohms and my egoT (~3.3v) bat probably wouldn't do a great enough job at heating up properly. That's why I rewired the first one and at 2.2 ohms it worked great. I'm confident my 3rd rewire will be better, I know what I did wrong on the...
