    Suorin Ishare

    Gahh or Bill C8705, I would love to see your rewicking procedure. I have rewicked a bunch of pods, with different methods. Some with loose cotton, some with tight. I've cut the ends short like with the original pods, and I've left them long to try to wick up more juice. YET, I have found...

    same. I got about 2 weeks out of a pod.

    Another article on the Juul

    Alright, I got a Juul, and it's alright. Not perfect, but it's alright, and in many ways they've made a unique and worthwhile contribution to the ongoing evolution of vaping. Background. I've been vaping since 2006 or 7. It's been AHWILE. Basically since National Geographic ran the article...

    The World's Tiniest E Cig... El ......!

    BTW, where do you get your SS mesh, and what does your battery pack look like? Wiring diagram, if possible?

    The World's Tiniest E Cig... El ......!

    I never did think of getting an actual passthrough - I was just using the batteries I had on hand. The passthrough takes care of the biggest problem I hadin making this setup, which was that I'd sometimes accidentally chop the battery wires when cutting in to the tube. Also, of course, that...

    The World's Tiniest E Cig... El ......!

    This is great! It makes me very happy to at last see modifications getting SMALLER!! I too am not excited by the big pipe style devices. Essentially me preferences are for a tiny device with an auto switch so I can use it hands free, leaving me to puff on it while I work with my hands - just...

    what happened to the m401??

    well, I'm pretty much convinced with the 403.. looks taste and even the shortened battery life of the 403 is still good enough for me. I don't need an all day battery. Plus the 403 batteries charge fast. Annastasia, can I ask you to clarify the 510 statement - you pull it out when you feel...

    what happened to the m401??

    This is a question, I suppose, for the suppliers, but also for anyone who has any idea. Basically, I'm wondering why the m401 seemed to disappear off of the message boards, to be replaced by the 901 and the titan, etc. Personally, I have an m401, quite a few attys and batteries, and have...

    Puresmoker Menthol

    Wait, no, it's called "True Menthol" and it's in the Cash eLiquid line. Which still makes me ask.. what's the diffence, other than flavors, between Cash eLiquid and Pure eJuice?

    Puresmoker Menthol

    I'm pretty sure it's a standard flavor. Which begs the question: What is the difference between Standard and Premium? Cash? Can you fill us in on this?

    Puresmoker Menthol

    Allright, I just got my Puresmoker Menthol, and it's great. This isn't MINT - it's actually menthol, and it's strong and it's great. Good Job Steve, and thank you.

    USB mod with pneumatic switch

    Wow! That is quite a difference. Too bad too, as I was thinking of using rechargeable batteries instead of alkaline. It's not really practical to just use regular batteries. Maybe then the 6v li-ion camera battery might be a better bet.

    A Somewhat Scientific Test of the electrial properties of different MODS

    Madog, So I got the MintyBoost kit working well. I affixed a 4 AA holder to it instead of the 2 AA holder it comes with. The whole thing fits into a regular altoid tin. It's easy and very portable. Probably doesn't last as long as your black and decker, but I've got 2 days of moderate usage...

    USB mod with pneumatic switch

    Well, my 4AAs are run though the MintyBoost kit (from the Make store) and I think that helps everything to run well. My atomizer doesn't get at all hot - it runs exactly like it's attached to the computer. SO, I'm loving it.

    USB mod with pneumatic switch

    Okay, and I just put the 4AA holder into an altoids tin. Portable and easy. Maybe I won't bother with the extra expense of a 6v camera battery. I think I'll just get some AA rechargeable batteries and I'll be set. hooray!

    USB mod with pneumatic switch

    Allright, so I got a battery holder for 4 AA batteries, and attached it to my MintyBoost usb kit. It works GREAT! Smoke is just as plentiful as with the usb plugged into the computer. So now I'm fully mobile. It takes a 6v power source to get the cig going well. So for my next trick, I...

    A Somewhat Scientific Test of the electrial properties of different MODS

    Madog, thank you! Great details. So, I'm seeing that the findings point toward the USB mod! My mod is working great from the computer, but I'm not yet set up with a proper portable power source. I need to make a trip to radioshack and get battery holders to rig a portable 5-6 volt...

    USB power and atomizer lifespan.

    yep, I've been using the same atomizer since Nov. 17. I usually get about a week or two before they peter out. You might be right about the higher voltage burning residue. But the atomizer seems to be hanging in there just fine.
