    Seek very simple replacement model for Smok Priv V8, ideas?

    My wife and I have been using the Smok Priv V8. I see that it has been discontinued. I am sure there are many exciting and innovative new designs out there, but my wife will not be able to use them. She always manages to get things confused even with simple displays and a few extra buttons...

    Where Can I Get A......? Where in/near Orlando, FL can I buy retail disposable e-cigs?

    I'm flying to Orlando soon and don't want to risk losing my e-cigs/liquid or any hassles with getting e-cigs through airport security. So where in/near Orlando, FL can I buy retail disposable e-cigs and what are the prices? Something like a 7-11 or other convenience stop would be fine...

    Auto battery one-way Valve Dam

    I suggest a tiny 1-way valve that allows air to flow out of the battery, to activate a pressure switch, but which is normally closed. It could be as simple as a domed silicone flap, or it could be, for example, in the shape of a three or four sided pyramid, with the edges cut and the bottom...

    My first mod - 901 charger extender for manual

    I recently soldered together my first mod out of necessity. It is very simple, and yet I am perversely proud of having accomplished it. I had a 901 manual passthru and 510 manual batteries and had been using them a lot. I was concerned, since I had started dripping, about burning out my...

    Box mod with wire, push-on connectors

    I have two ideas I wanted to share/suggest. I haven't done any mods myself, or read in the modder's forums, so forgive me if these are old ideas. In fact, if they have already been suggested or tried, I would be interested in posted links to the relevant threads. The first idea is to combine...

    Tongue twitch?

    This is really a one-off, but I read on the forums that a large component of throat hit is the nicotine causing some muscles in your throat to contract. Well, since I read that, I have noticed that little muscles in the front of my tongue appear to occassionally twitch very slightly when I am...

    "New" method to fill a cart as much as possible

    Here is a "new" method to fill a cartridge as much as possible. You may be using the straw mod or some other method, but when done, the liquid may not all be compacted down as much as possible. There is a way to ensure that all of the available cart space has liquid in it as follows. Fill the...

    My 510 has no throat hit, help please!

    I've been using a 901 for several months and really enjoy it. It has good throat hit. I got a 510 about the same time. I used the same liquid, and it had no throat hit. I tried it several weeks, and gave up. I have used multiple 510 attys and batteries and different liquids. Given the...

    Matte White 4075 source? Bigger cart suggestions?

    I plan to get a 4075 starter kit at some time in the future. I think it would be a nice occasional alternative to the 901, when I am more interested in throat hit than full flavor. I would like to get a matte white atomizer/battery combination at a reasonable price (I understand the carts would...

    Review of 4075 atomizer

    I normally use a DSE 901, but I recently bought a black 4075 atty in my last order from heaven-gifts.com, which is where I usually get my 901 and parts from. The 4075 parts are physically interchangeable with the 901, so I thought this would be an inexpensive way to evaluate the 4075 which I had...

    Question about filtering particulates from Ginger solution

    I am trying (again) to make a strong home made ginger flavoring. This time, I directly crushed raw ginger, filtered the resulting liquid several times with coffee filters, then put it in a test tube in the refrigerator for a week. A bunch of white particulates went to the bottom. I then drew...

    901 auto switch failing?

    I have two 901 auto switch batteries, and one of them seems to be going out. It appears to hold and maintain a charge fine, but the atomizer is not getting warm enough, and there is very little vapor and flavor, and no hit. I tried some different things out, and I noticed I can get the...

    Wintergreen flavoring warning

    I recently got a number of Lorann's flavorings, and one was called Wintergreen. I decided to try to vape it. I know it's not recommend to use oils, which I later read this is. It didn't say "Oil of Wintergreen", on the bottle, it said Methyl Salicylate on the ingredients list. I mixed 1 ml VG...

    Acids, Bases, and Throat Hit: An Experiment

    I am totally oblivious to the nuances of chemistry, but have read about bases having throat hit, and about acids having throat hit. Maybe one or the other does. Maybe both do! I thought I would try an experiment to check. Even though I'm a new user and haven't tried a lot of flavors, I've...

    Single Intake Slit Cart Mod for 510 Carts on 901 attys

    When I use a 510 cart on my 901, there is better draw but not as much vapor or flavor. When I plug one of the intake slits of the cart, the draw becomes harder as with a 901 cart, but the flavor and vapor come back up to the levels I prefer (the actual 901 carts have only one intake slit)...

    Silicone Mouth Grip for 510 Cartridges

    I have read comments in the forums, and have thought myself, about wanting to hold an eCig in my mouth hands-free. I've found I can only do that by clenching it tightly between my teeth and not moving my head too much or too fast. But it is difficult because of the weight of the end and the...

    Use Wall Charger as Car Charger with Car Adapter?

    I have two A/C wall adapters, a 901 and a 510. They both have a female plug on the side that says DC In 12-24 volt. I was wondering what the purpose of this is, since the adapter didn't come with any information about it. More importantly, although it seems to much to hope for, I also...
