    Box Mods - Can't Find on Site

    I wanted to stock up on the plain old VV box mods (pre-built, not kits) I've been using them for some time and can't seem to find them on the site anymore. Have you discontinued, or are my search skills off kilter? I've always thought they were a good way to go: basic and functional, maybe not...

    Fun Fact & Figure

    I just finished off the first of my two 500ML jugs of 48mg unflavored from MFS and cracked open the second. Out of curiosity, I checked my order history to find out when I bought that nicotine and discovered it was in February 2012 and that (with a coupon code) that half liter (i.e., all the...

    Vaping Before Ultrasound Procedure

    I'm scheduled to go in for an abdominal ultra-sound late tomorrow morning (probably nothing serious, but something ugly showed up on a bowel x-ray). The fasting rules I was told over the phone seemed more comprehensive than what I've heard in connection with other medical tests: "No eating...

    Custom Text Color - Likes Received Header

    I've been fooling with customizing my profile page. Whether it's how it always been or how I set something (can't remember), I'm having a low contrast problem when looking at the Likes Received list. Specifically, I have trouble reading the lines that indicate who liked my posting. Can't seem to...

    Cutting Coil Ends (T2) - What do you use?

    I've now made a couple of new T2 coils successfully. One step I find a little tricky is closely cutting the two ends that emerge from the inside and outside of the plastic sleeve. It's probably a matter of my not having a small pair of scissors that is pointy enough to cut the kanthal easily...

    Approaching perfection -- but too darn long!

    I tend to be a late adopter with almost every innovation that comes down the way, so it's only been in the last couple of weeks that an eGo Twist found its way to me. And then this weekend, my introduction to clearomizers (the rebuildable CE4 from Good Prophets) was in the mailbox. Combined, the...

    PG Evaporation from Gallon Bottle?

    I bought a gallon jug of U.S.P. PG about six months ago and dispensed some into smaller bottles for mixing. As I recall, that didn't make much of a dent in the gallon. For the first time in a while, I looked at the translucent plastic gallon bottle and noticed it's down way below half. Either...

    GMail Hack Attempt - Anybody else?

    I reserve my gmail account mainly for online commerce, quite a lot of it e-cigarette related. Several days ago, for the first time I got a notice when logging into gmail that my account had been accessed by a computer in Japan. (The message was vague as to whether it was a successful login...) I...

    Alt text in message lists

    I've long noticed a teensy, but occasionally annoying, error in the message list coding. On a "My Posts" or "Today's Posts" screen (and probably other message lists as well) when I mouse over the thread title I can see the first sentence or so of the OP's posting. That's good. But If I go over...

    Voltage and consumption

    Since I've started using a tank with my VV mod, it's of course easier to pay attention to how much liquid is being consumed. Yesterday, I was feeling a bit dissatisfied with what I was vaping and, for the first time in quite a while, hooked up the multimeter to check my voltage. I was somewhere...

    Carto Extender?

    I'm fairly new at this tank thing, but liking it a lot. I'm wondering if there's a way to extend my regular length Volt cartos (which I really like and have a lot of...) to fit an XL tank instead of cutting down the tank to fit the carto, as I've been doing. I tried cutting a length from a...

    URL & Login Data

    I'm not sure whether this is a new issue or some result of changes on my end. When I access ECF using Chrome, for whatever reason, my location bar always autotypes e-cigarette-forum.com without the "www" at the beginning. Lately, when I access that way, no matter how many times I check the...

    When drop bottles don't...

    Don't you just hate it when it's topping-off time and your juice bottle (especially the typical soft plastic kind) is clogged, has an air bubble, or whatever, and will not give out any drops? I know there are ways to solve it when you have a little time and space--run hot water through the...

    The Shortest Drip Tip?

    Although I tend to prefer vaping directly on the open end of my 808 carto (a/k/a "stovepiping" or "tailpiping"), I've discovered that I need to keep my cartos too wet for that when using my higher voltage mod. I could avoid juice in the mouth with the original carto end cap, but to me they're...

    Graphic Cigarette Warning Labels Blocked By Judge

    WASHINGTON — A judge on Monday blocked a federal requirement that would have begun forcing tobacco companies next year to put graphic images including dead and diseased smokers on their cigarette packages. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that it's likely the cigarette makers will...

    Different Cartos, Different Fill Techniques?

    In the whole area of cartomizers, sometimes I feel like I've read too much advice... For the time being, I've settled into two different cartomizers for my two different PVs. For my 5V box mod, I'm using the standard resistance (can't remember the ohms) 808 Premium cartos from LitecigUSA--...

    Accidents that worked?

    I'm curious how many of the rest of us have discovered a product, technique, etc. by accident or mistake and found it worked really well for you. My examples: not long after starting to experiment with using cartomizers on my eGo, I inadvertently ordered a couple boxes of 808 cartos (the...

    Thread adapter advice sought...

    My setup of choice involves 808 cartomizers connected to 510 power (eGo or mod) via a thread adapter (from Madvapes, if I recall). One of the reasons I prefer this kind of setup is the slightly tighter, more cigarette-like, draw the adapter introduces. What I don't like about it, however, is...
