    eGo battery dead after 18days??

    there are so many threads on battys, but this one appears in my email. Interesting development. I have a charger made for the slimmer battys and bought two small extensions to accept the Ego's. This worked fine, and I also have an Ego USB charger. One after another, my Ego's would "fail"...

    eGo battery dead after 18days??

    I now have two that won't charge, and one that will only charge on my USB charger. I am confident the batts are good because as they begin to show signs that they won't charge [LED's don't change] I put them into another socket on the multi-charger. There is no doubt the contacts have been...

    eGo battery dead after 18days??

    I'm sort of glad to see that I'm not the only one, not that it helps. I have a standard 501 batty and the larger Ego that cannot be charged. I know they are low, but I've tried all five ports on my gang charger. It never goes to red for charging. I did try my new USB charger and that worked for...

    CE2 Clearomisers are intended to be used only once?

    Where would the stainless be? The tube? I don't understand. BTW: I just 10 clear and 10 dark clearos, thinking I would use my 12-18nic in the cloudy ones, and the 0 nic in the clear ones. I vap only 0 nic after 8pm to help resolve sleep issues. [vaping high nic keeps me awake] But the...

    CE2 Clearomisers are intended to be used only once?

    I've never had a tube crack. They just fall off the serrated end and never work again.

    CE2 Clearomisers are intended to be used only once?

    Wow! I wish I could find a way to do that. My four failures occured when the tube just pulled straight off when I was taking it out of my pocket. I pushed it back in place but it never worked again. Would do nothing. The other three failed when I CAREFULLY screwed the clearo onto the battery...

    CE2 Clearomisers are intended to be used only once?

    When four of five of my clearomizers fell apart, I called the seller and was told these are designed to be used only once or twice. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake, so to speak. I found this hard to believe, but just now got an email from them, offering CE2 clearomizers at 40% off...

    Vaping and insomnia? low nic withdrawal?

    Excellent points and it does cause me to wonder. There is new family stress, which does not help at all.

    insomnia and nicotine

    Sorry I did not see this thread before posting my own. I have developed serious insomnia problems so began reducing my evening nic levels from 18 to 12, and then 6 and even 0. No change in sleeping issues yet, but now I'm nervous and fidgety all the time, cramps, etc., just like tobacco...

    Vaping and insomnia? low nic withdrawal?

    I have been vaping for two years and recently had bouts of insomnia. Too much nic, I guess. I toss and turn all night, fidgety, miserable. I vaped 18 during the day, and so switched to 12 and then 6 at night, even 0 nic. But now it seems I'm getting nic withdrawal, just like smoking...

    A higher quality clearomizer that does not fall apart?

    I will check that site. Thanks. Dead, no repair means that I tried to re-attach the plastic barrel onto the cartridge, and there are several ways to do this. But the atty part would never heat again. Ergo: dead. In the meantime, last night I was very very very slowly and carefully threading...

    A higher quality clearomizer that does not fall apart?

    I have no idea what brand name I bought, but I really love my five clearomizers [once I learned how to properly fill them] But, I had one screwed into the standard 501 battery and I picked it up by the cart end. Okay, perhaps that was wrong, but what could a batty weigh? The clear plastic...

    Vaping waaaay too much! But does it matter?

    I was watching a video on filling some new kind of carto, and the guy said it held about 1 ML, or the equivalent of one pack of analogs. I about choked on that! One pack...! I have a 1 ML syringe, and every morning I fill or top off about five or six cartos or clearos, because I only want...

    Disaster trip: failed cartos, clearo's, batterys--a mess

    Drove from SoCal to Portland then Seattle. I did not want to keep filling carts, so filled 2 clearomizers, and 10 cartomizers. Charged my eight 510 batts so I'm set for the long drive. Nothing but problems. bottom line: 8 of the 10 carto's failed. I filled them perfectly and nothing comes out...

    Where to get clearomizers?

    I should feel silly posting this, but the truth is, I now buy a lot of vaping stuff, including various attys, cartridges, cartomizers, clearomizers, et all, just to find "the right one" I have many. [too many] During a long drive taking many days from SoCal to Seattle to visit friends...

    Prefer cartomizer or clearomizer?

    Thanks. I thought I was in the General Forum.

    Prefer cartomizer or clearomizer?

    I was thoroughly disappointed with my first cartomizers. They leaked and leaked and leaked. The leak happened at the threaded joint between the cart and the batty. It was impossible to tighten them enough, so I bought five, but gave up after trying two. I tossed them out. I had to put them on a...

    How do you fill a Clearomizer without making a huge mess?

    I have got better thanks to those two videos. It's still messy but not nearly as bad as before. The thickness of the liguid is only annoying when filling the syringe. I pull back the plunger and wait...and wait...and wait. It takes a full minute for the liquid to finally go inside, but...

    vaping in 'non-smoking' hotel rooms?

    Heh, good point. I should have asked for a vaping room. "Huh?"

    vaping in 'non-smoking' hotel rooms?

    I don't pretend to understand the science of smoke detectors, but calling them "smoke" detectors is not fully accurate. As I get it, smoke, steam, even dust can trigger an alarm. It's the "clouding" of the air that triggers. So, yes, vaping would cause a trigger, but unlike smoking analogs, the...
