    Boge cartomizer? Really??

    Hi - I just got a 5-pack of Low Resistance 510 cartomizers from a dealer - won't say who for obvious reasons. The reviews for these were pretty glowing but I find myself pretty underwhelmed. They're the "old-fashioned" kind with rolled packing rather than like the new CE-2s. I haven;t measred...

    Auto Switches?

    Hi - Ok, so maybe they aren't the usual modding choice but does anyone know anything about how to reliably fix/unstick the automatic switches in vaporette batteries? Or maybe where they might be bought? I've got some on a week-long soak in isopropyl but don't know if it will help. I've also...

    BLANKIN' Blinkin' LED!

    Hi y'all, A couple of my best batteries recently quit working and are doing something I've never seen: If you take a drag, the LED blinks like 20 times, if you connect it to a charger the LED blinks like 20 times, if you shake them the LED blinks like 20 times! Real frustrating as these are 2...

    Battery Schematic?

    Hi. y'all! I work in electronics and do a lot of modding and a WHOLE lot of repairing of my batteries and m-series atomizers. I have a few DSE-801 size/type batts I got and adapted for use with my m-series atties for a site in China - you probably know it but I won't say just in case that isn't...

    Where to buy Blu attys????

    Hi, y'all - I was given a couple of Blu batts and atties awhile back that "didn't work". Found they were just fine. The "problem" was that these Blus run/charge at a NEGATIVE voltage rather than the positive voltage, center pin to casing, that every other rig I've seen runs at. Anyhow, the...

    Need a circuit schematic - PLEASE!

    Hi, I'm trying to fix some batts - one, especially that has a part visibly burnt. I've been unable to find anything on the 'net on the markings on the chips. 3-pin sot23-ish parts. From what i can piece together, it looks like there's a PIC chip (8-10 pin leaded smt) and two 3-pin parts on the...

    Vaped in hospital for 5 days!

    Hi - Figured I'd share my experiences, too. Been "noking" ("not smoking") for 12 months. First 2 months a little rocky but then only 1/2 a cig 2wice in Dec '09. ("1/2 a cig" because I couldn't hack it - tasted/felt like crap). Previously 2+ packs per day. Went from spending $60-$80 per week to...

    Need schematic for auto and/or manual Batt

    Hi - I was given some really jam up batts by the lady who sells e-cigs at the local flea market. They are 1000mWh Gamucci manual batts that, allegedly, didn't work. Well, one was easy as they simply 4got to install the LED board on the top of the batt in China! It worked anyway, just didn't have...

    Manual Gamucci charging?

    Hi - I was given a couple of manual batteries by a lady who sells e-cigs at the local flea market. They were, supposedly, defective and returned by customers. Well, one I had to repair the LED wire and the other works just fine. I found that they fit my old KR808D-2 (two!) cartos and charger...

    Where Can I Get A......? Where can I buy Kanger batts?

    Hi y'all. I have an old KR808D-2 batt from my original Smoking Anywhere (Smoke51) that I built an adapter for and use with my m40x series vaporette. (like my word?). The higher voltage is great for better vapor and throat hit, though you do have make sure to keep the coil wet because the current...

    Is the Kanger brand superior or not?

    Hi all - I've got an old Smoking Anywhere (really! - I think they were called "Smoke 51 before) PV with two GREAT batteries that came with GreenSmoke cartomizers. About 8 months old, bought in a mall. The form factor is - I think - KR808D-2 and the batts have a longer and about 1mm narrower...

    Adapt KR808D-1 or DSE501 to KR808D-2?

    Hi y'all, I just got a DSE501 280mah and also a KR808-1 of the same capacity. I bought an adapter from 501 to KR808-1 and a pack of carts. So far, so good... The thing is that I have a "Smoking Anywhere" (formerly Smoke51) rig and its connectors are KR808-TWO! I'd wanted to use these batts...

    Question about battery voltages

    Hi y'all - I vape m4xx series exclusively but I DO have a "Smoking Anywhere" two-piece vaporette with 3 batteries that was my first foray into e-cigs that I didn't care for. Too expensive and dicey as to whether or not the guy in the mall would have the cartomizers I used when I ran out. I work...
