    Recommend me a 4500mah box mod

    I've been using two Eleaf I-Stick 30W box mods for about three years now and it's time to get a couple of replacements. I would like to get something about the same size but with a battery that lasts longer between charges. I'm an old school vaper and I don't know much about all the newfangled...

    Questions about adding nicotine to increase throat hit.

    Let me start by clarifying that I have never DIY'd e-liquid and I'm not quite ready to take that step. I have a 30ml bottle of liquid that I bought from a popular vendor. I bought 12mg but the throat hit is too weak for me to fully enjoy it. I should have gotten 18mg. I want to increase the...

    Will higher ohms increase battery life?

    I use IBTanks almost exclusively so I thought this sub forum might be a good place to ask. I'm currently using the SmokTech 2.0 ohm cartomizers that OCD sells on the IBTanked website. I like the tanks and cartos so much that my vaping habits have changed substantially. Everything is working out...

    First hit is weak on my SmokTech carto. Is this common?

    I recently bought myself an IBTanked carto tank and I've become a huge fan. So much so that I ordered three more IBTanks three days after I received the first one. Pictures are always nice so I've included one below. Anyway, I'm using a SmokTech 2.0 ohm 2 hole punched standard sized carto and...

    Question about liquid level

    I have a 22mm Standard tank and I'm using the Smok 2.0 ohm 2 hole cartos. I notice that when my tank is half full or below one of the holes in the carto is usually above the liquid level when I tilt my device to vape it. I'm not having any problems but I'm curious about this. Should both holes...

    Another "got my first IBTanked" thread

    I took the plunge and decided to try out a carto tank. I see what you folks mean when you comment on the outstanding quality of these little buggers. One must hold an IBTanked tank in their hands to really appreciate the quality. The vaping experience is outstanding as well. I'm really glad I...

    MVP 2.0 charging questions

    My MVP user manual recommends charging the battery when it is "below 10% power". It also recommends using a wall charger rated at 5v 500ma. How can I determine when the battery is below 10% power? Is it best to wait until the red light comes on? I have a 5v 500ma wall charger that I use for...

    Got my Volt MVP 2.0 today.

    My Volt MVP 2.0 arrived today and I've been happily vaping away since mid afternoon. The iclear 16's that came with it are terrific but I'm inclined to agree with comments I've read about them being juice hogs. Flavor and vapor production are great though. The MVP is such a great little box...

    Where is the ohm stamp on the SkokTech Aro heads?

    I just picked up a new SmokTech Aro Pyrex at the local vape shop. I took the heads out to see what the ohm rating is and I don't see a stamp on them. I don't see the information stamped anywhere on the heads. Is this normal? Am I overlooking something?

    Is there a practical replacement for Evod/Protank flavor wicks?

    I like my Evod a lot and I'm rather fond of my Protank too. The problem I have with them is that sometimes when I remove the flavor wicks to clean the heads the flavor wicks get badly frayed. I can't seem to get them back together in a suitable fashion and I end up having to discard them. I have...

    Halo makes a great Spinner holder for my car

    I've been looking for a way to keep my 1300mah Spinner from rolling and sliding around in my car when I set it down. I thought I was going to have to make something, which I'm not very good at, but as it turns out I had the solution in my juice cabinet the whole time. I just didn't realize it...

    Opinions wanted. Am I a tobacco user or not?

    In my short time on this forum I have learned that the nicotine in most, if not all, E-liquid containing nicotine is extracted from the tobacco plant. My health insurance carrier which is through my employer requires participants to sign a document stating whether or not they are tobacco...

    Sanitary drip tips for sampling?

    I use the cig-a-like cartomizers when I'm out and about. You know, the ones that can be purchased either pre-filled or blank and they usually are included with cig-a-like starter kits. I sometimes encounter folks that seem interested in what I'm vaping and I always want to let them sample it...

    What's wrong with Butter flavored juices?

    I've read a few comments on the forum implying that Butter flavored juices might present some problems. However, I've seen no mention of what those problems are. I recently received some Butter Rum juice and I like it but I'm a little hesitant to vape too much of it until I know what the...

    Do all juices benefit from steeping?

    I have my very first order of juices on the way. My original plan was to steep them all for at least a week before I vape them. I've been thinking a lot about this and I'm wondering if the quality of some juices might actually decrease with steeping. Is it a good idea to steep all of my juices...

    Pre-filled cartomizers...Am I the only one?

    When I smoked analogs I would smoke about 23 of them in a 24 hour period. A little over a pack a day. I'm currently using an 808 cig-a-like with pre-filled cartomizers. I could swear that I vape more than I used to smoke but I've noticed something that, according to what I've read on this...

    How do you keep them cool?

    I work in a warehouse that has no air conditioning. It can get up over 100 degrees in here on very hot days and the average summertime temp in the warehouse is probably about 83 degrees. I carry my batteries and my pre-filled cartomizers in my pocket while I'm at work. I just started vaping...

    What is cut off time?

    I've seen some advertisements mentioning the "cut off" time for batteries. What exactly does that mean? Thanks.

    How can I tell what is compatible with my E-Cig?

    I have the kit in the picture below and I'm thinking ahead about where to buy my batteries when they need replaced. The manufacturer wants $34.95 for a new battery but I'm thinking I can get them much cheaper than that. The manufacturer (TECECIG) doesn't seem to want to disclose any...

    Kind of frustrated

    Howdy, folks. I just started vaping 3 days ago. I went through a little bit of trial and error but I finally found the right nicotine level for me. At least for now anyway. I've read a lot of comments on here from people who give up analogs altogether within a day or two after they start...
