I don't think they've been motivated by deliberate dishonesty, they've been very up front about changes that had to take place to meet FDA regs, and JC has always tried to stay ahead of the regulation curve -- trying to make their product in a way that anticipated regulations. That being said...

I like Johnson Creek VG juices a lot, but they will gunk most wicking atomizers quickly. Chain-vaping Red Oak Tennessee Cured reduced an Evod to uselessness in a matter of hours. I've since just switched to using cartomizers. I like the flavor and convenience and will even occasionally use...

I think the tanks are OK depending on your juice. I like 100% VG and the wicking doesn't hold up for more than a single fill. Thin PG stuff tends to run longer. Without getting more than a single fill, the 808 tanks seem more expensive than cartos, especially when I can usually get a decent...

Most of the time when I charge my KR808-D1s I get the usual red LED on the USB charging widget and the blue tip lights up while charging. Once in a while, the tip doesn't light up but it seems to charge normally anyway. I can't seem to tie this to any specific charge state of the device -- ie...

The USB standard is 5v @ 500mA. AFAIK, Apple introduced a non-standard signalling method a device could use to tell their USB adapters it could accept more than 500mA -- I think this was done for the iPad and hence the array of USB chargers that now offer 2.1A output. But, the device has to be...

A regulated 808 battery, interesting. I use auto 808s because I can pocket them without worrying about the button. Can you turn these on/off like an eGo-type, or are they always on?

I moved it to a new port, put a partially charged 1000 eGo-C twist on it last night and this morning the Joye charger was still red (and would still toggle to green as per usual). However, if I put it on the EVOD charger, that charge doesn't turn red. So maybe it's charging but just not...

I'm with you -- I'd love a VV 1000+ eGo that was no longer than an EVOD. Not sure what the technical reasons are for the long design, but I suspect it has something to do with the size of the commonly available batteries used in them. Easier to stack cylinders than to try to arrange them in a...

The ratings plate matches the eGo spec. I moved it to a new USB charging port, maybe it had a bad connection or something. I checked my the one that came with my EVOD kit and it shows 4.2 500mA, although I can't believe 80mA would make any difference or if the 500mA label on it isn't just some...

I have two eGo chargers, one came with an EVOD kit I purchased last fall and one I bought standalone as an extra recently. The new one is a genuine Joyetech (came in Joyetech packaging from a good vendor listed as an official vendor on the Joyetech web site). I switched to using Joyetech eGo-c...

One of my 808d-1 auto batteries decided to quit drawing. I used q-tip to clean the residue off the threads and a small needle to clear out the holes around the threads and it works fine. How hard are these to take apart for a more thorough cleaning? Since my basic cleaning worked, I didn't...

I just wish I could charge an eGo-c with a normal USB cord (A to mini B or micro B) instead of having to use the dedicated USB charging dongle. Pass-thru I don't need.

This is correct, this is the new-ish eGo-CC not the older eGo-C, although I think it does use the same heads. Bottom line is I could keep using carto tanks forever. Relatively simple, relatively long-lasting and great flavor. A new cartomizer is less than $2 and it's usually a simple swap...

How long have they been out? I kind of got the impression that they weren't that old. I did make a half-hearted effort to clean the EVOD heads, but it didn't make much difference and I have no interest in building coils. Even if I did, the stock ones were going bad in as short of a time as a...

I started with an EVOD setup but quickly found that the 100% VG juices I liked burned through atomizer heads really quickly -- flavor and vapor went south faster than I was willing to replace heads. I moved onto carto tanks and the occasional mega xl dual coil carto, but for some reason got...

In my experience with thick, sweet Johnson Creek 100% VG juices and smok cartos in tanks I find that the single hole cartos will wick but that if I chain it, vapor production drops off after a few puffs and comes back after a "pause", which I assume is just slower wicking caused by the thicker...

I'd like to see that blind tested. I'm curious if equivalent power for combinations of different voltage and resistance actually results in equivalent vaping, or if there's some other phenomenon going on with higher resistance/higher voltage combos vs. lower resistance/lower voltage combos. On...

The tank posted above looks pretty good, but haven't I read complaints about some of the fill-port tanks not sealing well and not allowing the right vacuum in the tank and hindering the feed to the carto? I like the idea of this, but I find the slap-yo-momma tool and a blunt syringe (or even a...

I keep waiting for an economist to comment on the hidden cost of low quality Chinese goods, in which I would throw e-cig clones. We're kind of sold a bill of goods on how despite the slow/lack of rise in income, our standard of life is "better" because we have all these low-priced goods thanks...

My understanding (and I'm not saying I'm right, either) was that regulated voltage didn't refer to adapting to load but that the battery operated something like a variable voltage battery except that its locked (regulated) to a specific voltage. So it starts out at the regulated voltage when...
