    Sigelei Zmax V3 and V5 Telescopic: User's Group

    i get your point Dan but I like to think of vaping as my hobby even as a tootle-puffer. It's more than a mod, tank, and bottle of store bought juice. I have six tanked mods at the ready-bottles of nic, pg, and vg in the freezer-a closet shelf half full of flavors, various juices, drippers...

    Dang arctic weather needs to go back where it belongs doc. FYI NOAA has Gladwin high temps next two days at five above zero. Left one of my vapes in the car last night and the juice lturned a kind of frosty white color. Wasn't about to check if mod would fire it. Recalled a movie scene with...

    Thanks for replies all. Camo was more wishful thinking than serious although it is my understanding the zmax was available in any color you wanted so long as it was stainless or black... Yes? Anyway from what I have seen with the zmaxs and the UFO is the exteriors seem to be as durable as the...

    I'd like to get one in camo. Black finish holding up incredibly well. Over a year of regular use and still looking like new. :)

    Got my batteries from IMR. Some 18500s and a couple 18650s. They were good to deal with. Still too soon to say much about the batteries themselves other than no problems with any that I have used so far. One thing I wanted to pass on is that I have several of those nine LED flashlights about...

    GAME CHANGER

    Bought this little starter kit as gift to myself Christmas 2015. Christmas day was Saturday, kit arrived Monday after. Screwed the tank to battery and just held it while admiring the heft, the smooth finish, and the silver sheen. Wouldn’t call it love at first sight, but infatuation… maybe...

    Thanks Dan! I like that site a lot. What's interesting is that on their Terms and Conditions page they have this disclaimer: BEFORE PURCHASE YOU MUST AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING: I have read the warnings on the product page(s) and clearly understand the potential dangers of using lithium ion...

    Zmax mods doing just fine, it is batteries in decline here. If anyone sees a deal to pounce on for 18500 batteries, please post link. I'm partial to button top style but will buy either. 18650s still doing ok but thinking a pair or two in reserve may be handy if priced right.

    Yes Dan posted this four months ago, but is it too late to change my vote from Provari to Zmax? If the question was 'Which one do you use the most and why?' the Zmax would win hands down. The Provari has sat nicely tucked away for the summer while the Zmax has been in my daily rotation and...

    Hello, got few questions ...

    I mix my juices Turbo999 and find syringes and droppers are plenty accurate for basic juice making. Main thing is to know (actually measure) how many drops per ml for that particular dropper. If a juice recipe calls for 12% flavoring and you are making a 10 ml batch that would be 1.2 ml of...

    Tip of tongue sore. Vape related?

    Not heard of this either CMD-Ky and want to make sure I understand. Instead of say a 50/50 PG/VG base, you can use an 8//92 water/VG base and it mixes and vapes fine? My nic is in a 100% VG base so this is something doable and would consider trying at least once. As far as tongue goes, two...

    Tip of tongue sore. Vape related?

    Glad you mentioned gummies. I bought a large bag of Jolly Ranchers a couple weeks ago. Those may have caused overstimulation in my case. Also tend to favor candy or dessert ejuices (Cinnamon, Candy Cane) more than others. Will make conscious effort to keep tip of tongue away from inlet...

    Tip of tongue sore. Vape related?

    Thanks for the info Victor. I looked in mirror and indeed there is a raised white spot about 1/8" diameter on the tip of my tongue. Looks like a small blister. Had no idea a person grows new bud under and sheds the old. Had I known years ago would have tried to save it and tuck under pillow...

    Tip of tongue sore. Vape related?

    Thought it was due to liking my morning coffee hot but recently I loaned some of my beginner gear (couple ego/evod combos, CF4 mod, iClear tank and about 20 samplers) to a friend. He is a mtl smoker and I wanted to give him a chance to try vaping for a few weeks to see if at all interested. So...

    Still Confused

    Grimwald: posted “I find I do better with mouth-to-lung vaping at lower watts. Nautilus or even older Protank style vaping. Higher VG liquids give me a heavy lung feeling so I stick with 80%PG/20%VG liquids.” That sounds like very good advice from someone in a similar situation. Not just the...

    Slotted top cap looks good on it yzer. In fact the mod itself looks new. How many atomizers has it outlasted?

    Hadn’t checked board for a couple weeks. Glad to see the activity and to get caught up. Lots of good comments. Kinda late to add my two cents to Dan’s shootout but would pick Provari mainly because it feels better in hand and good reports I’ve read about their service department. One little...

    Perhaps I shouldn't be posting this here but it seems like a common issue. From new users forum..." Hello peeps, I bought the Joyetech Egrip 2, i read through everything but i still feel like i'm doing something wrong. No matter what i do, i get insane spitback, vape smells like burnt...
