    Help me find something new?

    Hi there, I haven't vaped in six or seven years now. I first used it to quit smoking, then kinda went hobbyist on it and ended up with a shelf of mods and tanks ranging from mechs to box mods. Then I quit, sold all my stuff, and haven't touched it in said years. I think that was around the...

    "Sigelei" Branded 18650 IMR's - Are they rewraps and of what?

    I'm getting a couple of questionable batteries (Sigelei 18650 IMR, 2500mah 30a(not 30a obv)) in a package deal, just curious if anyone has any experience with them. I assume they are rewraps (LG's or Samsungs?) and would like to know more about them before I use them in anything. Anybody used...

    Mech - reversed battery?

    I have a battery that won't make contact in my new Stingray clone, the wrapper on the bottom doesn't allow for the wider contact. It works fine though if I flip the battery. Just curious if this is safe in a mech - I realize it's a big problem in most regulated devices, but it seems like it...

    Next mech suggestions?

    February is rolling in and my vape budget is going to be back - this last month I took the plunge and got my first mech and RDA's, and though there were a few hiccups I'm now extremely pleased with the vape I'm getting. Now I'm looking into a second setup, my first being a Stingray X and Magma...

    First build - success!

    So after going through a lot to get the screws out of my IGO-L (replaced the screws and all is well), I managed to wrap a 2 ohm coil, wicked with rayon. It was a serious pain to capture the leads under the screws, but once they were in all was well. Glows evenly from the middle out. Took a...

    RDA First RDA's troubles.

    I received my IGO-L and IGO-W4 today. I've never used an RDA before. Out of the five posts (two on the IGO-L, three on the IGO-W4), I've been able to back out ONE screw over the past two hours. I've mangled one screwdriver set (all of the tips of the phillips heads are deformed now from...

    Minimum tools to get started?

    I have an IGO-L on the way and I've been searching to find the tools I need to get started with it. There seem to be a lot of suggestions for things that I'm not sure I need, and I'm on a budget this month (still recovering from the holiday!) So far I know I need these: Something to wrap on...

    RDA Buyer paralysis

    Never built a coil, or used a mech. I've read about them extensively and watched some building tutorials and examined battery safety. I know what mech I'm going to get (SXK Stingray X) but I cannot seem to decide on an RDA to top it with. I need something that will be easy for a beginner to...

    Control Head has - oily stuff? Lubricant, grease, or a problem?

    I've had a Smoktech ACE for a couple weeks now, but I've never fully disassembled it until tonight while swapping batteries. The control head is pretty much just like an SID or VAMO. This is the only tube style mod I've ever used to date, so I was surprised when I took the battery tube off and...

    Mini PT2 - Will Mini Aerotank SS tube fit?

    Just curious, if anyone owns a Mini Protank 2 and an Aerotank Mini, is the stainless steel tank section compatible with the Mini PT2? The glass I've read is changeable between the Mini PT2, Mini PT3, Aerotank Mini. Also curious if the full size Aerotank steel replacement tube fits the Protanks?

    Protank 3 - Stock Single Coils?

    Will a Protank 3 accept Kanger single coils? (Protank 1/2/EVOD) I've been searching around but haven't found a definitive answer, just a few blurbs that some people got them to work, others didn't, and gurgle/leak issues, but nothing was very specific.

    Pre-coiled wicks for PT?

    My eyes aren't good and my hands are shaky which has kept me from attempting any kind of rebuilding. I've watched plenty of rebuilding tutorials, and I understand how it's done with Protank single coil style heads. I recently found some info about pre-coiled wicks that could be used for these...

    Need a simple answer to complex question: SMOK Ace, which battery, which charger?

    I put in an order for a Smoktech ACE, but I have never used a replaceable battery APV (just an MVP2, an ISTICK and spinner batteries). I have no idea what I need battery-wise other than an 18650 size - I assume there are varying degrees within that size of quality and power? I'm on a tight...

    Is this an EVOD or an MT3 and which coils does it take?

    Hey, a buddy of mine is getting a starter kit that has some tanks with it that I can't identify and the vendor has not been helpful (I was told to "search on ebay" for them. NOT helpful.) It is labeled as an MT3 tank (a clone of some kind obviously) in the product description but as far as I...

    Is this what I need?

    Hi there. I'm looking at getting a simple bridgeless atomizer for taste testing purposes, and I'm not sure exactly what I need. I'm also not sure if the batteries I have are suitable for it. I have an iStick and an MVPv2. I'll be near an Altsmoke soon, and they carry these so I thought I...

    Flavor types that are less prone to killing coils?

    I love coffee flavors and rich flavors, but they are killing my BVC's at an accelerated rate for sure. I'm looking for flavor profiles that I can try that won't eat up coils quite as fast. So far I know these don't gunk coils as quickly: Menthol Unflavored Are there any other flavor types...

    Kanger T2 Sunfires. Worth it?

    I've read a lot of reviews about the old Kanger T2's. Almost all of the reviews are, well, as old as the clearo is. Are these still worth a buy for cheap backups?

    Tonsil Stones and Vaping

    Hey. Okay, kind of a gross thing to bring up, but I figure it's okay here. Twice this week I've coughed up what I now know to be tonsil stones (Tonsilloliths). I'm fairly sure I've had this happen a few times over my 33 years, but they were few and far between. I've been reading up on the...

    Cost effective, good quality for flavor testing? (Aspire BVC)

    I love my Naut Mini, and I'll be getting a regular Nautilus for the tank size. What I really need though are some cheaper tanks that I can throw new juices in to test. I'd like to use BVC for the flavor, it seems like there are still a few options that will work. Which of these should I go...
