    (Possibly) dumb question about battery life

    I'm using an Innokin iTaste SVD 2.0. I run RBA with coils ranging from 1.0-1.4 ohm, usually in the 1.1-1.2 range, at 15.5 watts. I cannot seem to get more than a couple hours out of a battery, and I hear people talking about batteries lasting them 1 or 2 days. What gives? I would say my...

    That sinking feeling you get....

    ...when your tracking status says "out for delivery" and after the mail comes there's not 230mls of AVE goodness in your mailbox. And how on earth it can take the postal service 3 (now 4?) days to move your package 200 miles when it takes 24 hours to move it 1500 miles (from California to...

    Some thoughts on Good Life Vapor...

    Up until recently, I had really only bought juice from AVE and HHV. I got a bit burned out on HHV (still like them though) and with the whole AVE closing I was forced to look elsewhere (and strangely I seem to have lost my lust--not my taste, though--for AVE). So I branched out and tried...

    Tracking numbers?

    I was able to get an order through on Saturday, and got a shipping confirmation that states my order status is "shipped". This is the first time in a while I have ordered from AVE, and I usually got a separate email with the tracking information. Is this still common practice, or are they just...

    Cotton wicks not lasting long--is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

    I started out using rolled cotton (rounds, gauze) but have since graduated to Peaches N Cream ecru yarn. I primarily use an IGO-L on a Vamo with 28 or 30g Kanthal. My problem is that after half a day's use I will notice flavor dropping off and see that the wick isn't wicking anymore (liquid is...

    Heat issue present with a single 18650, but not with stacked 18350's

    I have a SS Vamo and a gunmetal Vamo. I primarily use stacked 18350's but I have a few 18650's lying around as well. Presently using the 18350's I have not noticed any heat coming from the base of the unit during vaping. But last night I threw in an 18650 and immediately noticed the bottom of...

    O-Ring fix for RBA's

    I've been having issues with drip tips fitting too loosely on some of the RBA's I have (Phoenix, IGO-L). The IGO-L also has a "pop top" that uses o-rings and for me it fits way too loosely. Couldn't find a local source for o-rings that worked...I got the recommended ones (#47) from Lowe's and...

    Help--2 18350's vs 1 18650 in Vamo

    I've had my Vamo for about a week, and I bought 2 18350's with it. I then ordered a couple of 18650's as backup, but I have found that the 18650's do not produce anywhere near the experience that the 18350's do. With the 650's, the flavor seems muted, vapor production not as good, and vape not...

    Thoughts, experiences, and recommendations from an RBA noob

    I'm about a week in to my first experience with RBA's (specifically the Phoenix clone) and thought I'd offer my thoughts, tricks, etc. as a newbie. This information did not originate with me; I am simply copying what others have done and expressing what worked for me. The best...

    Different colors of latest AVE batch?

    Just received a new order of Boba's, Flue Cured, Havana Gold, and Gorilla Juice. All the juices save for HG seem to be different colors than usual. Boba's is usually a deeper, more opaque red, but this one is much lighter and transparent. FC also usually has a slight orange/reddish cast but...

    Problem with labels rubbing off

    Not a major issue, but has anyone else noticed lately that the ink on the labels of AVE juices are rubbing off? Just with regular handling, within a few days the labels are completely blank. Kinda annoying. With the clear bottles it's not a big deal since most of the AVE juices have...

    Bee's Knees first impressions...

    I like it. I've had mixed results on honey juices in the past--none were terrible, but they just weren't...right. Either the honey tasted "phony" or the honey taste was overpowering. I was more concerned about the latter with BK just because of my past experiences. But this wasn't the case...

    VV recommendations for AVE juices?

    I'm new to VV (just got an eGo Twist) and almost exclusively vape AVE. I previously was using an eGo with Joye LR atty. If any of you VV veterans can offer some suggestions for voltage/ohm combinations that would maximize the AVE experience, I would be grateful.

    eGo twist stock date?

    First of all I want to say thanks to you guys for being such an awesome supplier. And it's great to be able to support a (relatively) local business. Second, when do you expect to stock the eGo twist? Very interested in trying out this product and will definitely order from you guys as soon...

    The post office stinks!! (Or maybe I need to plan better!)

    Tuesday I placed an AVE order since I was running low...too low, but I figured I had enough juice to last until the order got here. Order placed on Tuesday, shipped out Wednesday (thanks for the fast shipping guys!), travels almost 500 miles in 24 hours to Little Rock by Thursday...I figure I'm...

    Any word on 1.5 ohm LR dual coil atty restock?

    Very interested in the LR 501 dual coil atty, but see they're out of stock. Any idea when they will be back up and available for purchase? Thanks.

    AVE saved me $800!!

    Before I found Alien Visions, my e-cig experience was spotty at best. I wasn't able to completely quit smoking until finding AVE's wonderful juices. Today I got the results back from my life insurance exam--I was required to wait 1 year after quitting smoking before applying again as a...

    New year can be happy because AVE arrived today

    Just wanted to say thanks to Ben and co. for helping to kick off the new year in style. Got my Christmas order of AVE in today, so all is well. I have been going into withdrawal for the last few days, so thanks to AVE for putting it in to overdrive during the holidays and getting us juiceheads...

    I hate Hype...

    ...or at least I thought I would, until I finally tried it! I am really the last person I expected to like this juice...I vape AVE tobaccos 99.9% of the time, and while I have tried some of the sweet flavors, I generally am not a big fan. Plus due to an unfortunate peach daiquiri incident in...
