    oopsie with a mechie and thankfully all is good

    I've been using mechs almost exclusively for about 3 years now, and I've had no issues. I've even made a few of my own, and never had a problem. Today, I got in a MiniStick Black - Mini ECIG clone, and it's great, but I put it down beside me, watched some Game of Thrones to get ready for...

    Missing!! Have you seen my mod?

    I'm looking for the little box mod in the middle. Last seen: In my apartment last night. Possible locations: somewhere in my apartment. In my neverending quest to build the smallest possible setup, I overlooked the very dire consequences. It's probably hiding somewhere in the netherworld...

    iced tea / lemonade?? !! awesome !! ?? help please

    Heya folks, sorry if this is a subject that has been beaten into the ground, but I did my due diligence and couldn't find it. I'm looking for a simple lemonade recipe, although half and half with ice tea would be great too. Something with few ingredients that I can buy from one place in bulk...

    To all my Hawaiian vapers...

    Remember to charge your batteries, your backup batteries, and that old battery that you haven't used since you started vaping ages ago. Do you have a power bank? Charge that. If we lose power, we'll need all the batteries we can get. I DIY, so I'm going to mix up a batch of higher nicotine...

    negative spring getting all hot and glowy

    Heya folks, I'm working on a simple battery box mod (not my first) and everything seemed to be going well. I tested it with a battery and no atomizer. Power on... smoke?? The negative spring was glowing red hot like an atomizer coil. It's just a simple AA box with a switch going to a 510...

    well, that sucks - VTR

    Looks like it kicked the bucket. I've tried with 2 different fully charged batteries. The power light and display faded away to nothing. I think it's the board. And I just bought 2 new toppers and batteries specifically to use with it. Sad now. I bought it used 2 months ago.

    downgrading to 14500, I feel like a unicorn

    Back in December, I asked people on this forum to explain to me why I would want to use VV/W. I got some great answers, and I needed to try it out for myself. I did. It's not for me, but I'm glad I tried it out so now I know what my sweet spot is. I'm currently using a 14500 home made mod...

    need a 10mm or under pushbutton switch

    The part inside the mod can't be over 10mm either. This is a teeny mod! I tried looking myself, but I don't know enough about the terminology to find what I'm looking for. I need it to go through the body and screw in with washers or otherwise attach. I usually build around 2.5ohms or up, so...

    how to attach switch??

    I'm going crazy here. 6x6mm tactile switch going through the side of a mint tin. I tried jbweld - didn't hold, also got in the switch making it not clicky. hot glue - not even close. super glue - got in the switch, no more clicky. I know there's probably a simple solution, but I can't for the...

    rebuilding a VTR because I love it

    I'm a pretty techie type person, but I don't understand my VTR. It works when it wants to work, and when it does... I love it. I want to take it apart and rewire it and make it a machine that works when I press the button. Right now, it only work some of the time, and I can't for the life of...

    flat top battery not making connection

    This may seem like a duh question, but my flat top battery isn't touching the positive post of my little battery holder. Can I just put a bit of solder to put a nipple on the battery holder to solve the issue? PS, the true duh part of it all is I didn't even think about this... I wasn't...

    switch for small mod

    Hey folks. I finally started work on a mini tin mod I've been planning for awhile, but I ran into a small hiccup. I was going to use one of the ego_t board switches from fast tech (I've seen them on eBay too) but I had two problems. I couldn't figure out what to use to put over the clicky...

    funny story? lowered my nicotine level, way too much nicotine

    I've been vaping about 1.5ml/day at 18mg, usually 3-3.5w. It kept me away from smoking for almost 6 months, but I started to feel like it was way too harsh for me. So, today, I mixed at about 6mg, all VG. So smooth. So nice. Great flavor. I turned up the power and found my sweet spot at...

    gamma rba clone and VTR?

    $13.59 Gamma Style Rebuildable Atomizer (3.0mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping Just saw this today. It's listed at 20mm wide, but I'd like to live in a world of sunshine and rainbows, so I'm hoping it's just under. Has anyone tried this with a VTR? It's the first rebuildable tank I've...

    RANT: description of product by online vendors

    This is my biggest pet peeve. For example, with a topper, there's some things I need to know. How long is it (length without drip tip)? What's the diameter? Is the tank glass or plastic? Basic stuff, yea? Pretty important. And 9/10 sites won't have this kind of information listed. Yes, I...
