    Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage: Which is better and why?

    With the introduction of the Darwin and, more recently, the Kick, Evolv has changed the face of the APV market by introducing variable wattage APV's. This has led to much confusion about whether variable voltage or variable wattage is the better technology and why. A long technical discussion...

    Where to get a Darwin repaired?

    My Darwin is intermittently firing all by itself. I have to flip the arm down after every vape to keep my atomizer from dying. I figure it's something with the logic board and I'll need to send it in for repair. I sent an email to Evolv about getting it repaired, but I haven't heard back from...

    Charge your PV while camping using water and fire

    Just ran across this project on Kickstarter. Thought those of you who like to camp frequently might find it useful for charging your PVs while in the middle of nowhere. The PowerPot by David Toledo — Kickstarter

    Darwin - What's your wattage and battery life like?

    I picked up a used Darwin last week and the battery is not lasting as long as I'd expect based on the few reports I've seen around the web. It seemed like I could expect around a day per charge. I'm getting in the neighborhood of 4-5 hours when vaping between 8.4 and 10.5 watts. I probably take...

    Package containing my Darwin was stolen :(

    I've been trying to buy a new Darwin for about 5 months with no luck, so I finally broke down and bought a used Darwin. Tracking info says it was delivered today, but it's not in my tiny mailbox or in front of my door. I assume one of the people who have been working on my building this week...

    Icon switch always engaged after inserting battery

    I'm having problems with the switch on my icon. When I insert a battery (AW 14500 IMR) and screw the fittings tight, the atty fires immediately and the button has no travel. All of the advice I've read regarding button issues talks about adding or removing washers, but I have an Icon 1.1 which...

    GoodSense Vapor's 306DCA with debridged attys?

    After looking at this picture, I'm wondering if it's possible to use the 306DCA from GoodSense with debridged 306's. Seems like the design assumes the bridge will be there to screw the atty tightly in place, and without it, there's nothing to grab onto. Can anyone with a 306DCA confirm use with...

    Looking for pocket safe 14500 mod

    It's time to get a new mod. I looked through the e-cigarette mod database and found a few candidates, but it's been a while since I've been on the forums. Thought I'd check to see if anything fantabulous has come out recently, or is coming out soon, that isn't listed in the DB. I've got my eye...

    [Tutorial] Make a 2xAA (Box Mod) battery box fit any 14500. Simple, free mod.

    The 2xAA battery box is an awesome unit for making mods, but it suffers one problem. Sized to fit a standard AA, it doesn't always fit the inconsistently sized 14500's available today. The red and black Trustfires are the go to 14500 that seems to fit every one of the 2xAA boxes out there, but...

    Box modders - How do you secure your atty connectors?

    I've been using Loctite Heavy Duty Epoxy to secure my connectors. One problem that I keep having is juice leaking down the connector barrel which then gets trapped between the body of the battery box and the epoxy holding the connector in place. This creates a small pocket in the epoxy that...

    Hey ECF...you're awesome. Thanks for being you!

    Just how awesome you all are was recently put into sharp relief for me. Not long ago, I purchased a used sports car. I joined a forum dedicated to info on the car, and in thread after thread, people are rude, stand offish, and try to be sarcastic or belittle others at any opportunity. Not every...

    Charging Circuit for 14500's that will fit in a 2xAA box mod?

    I've been tooling around the search results for "charging circuit" and most threads seem to be focused on 500mA+ circuits. I know there are box mods out there with USB charging circuits in them, but I'm coming up empty so far on finding info on them. Anyone have a good source of info for a...

    I need some encouragement ECF!

    I came to the realization this weekend that, to preserve my sanity, I have to leave my wife. My stress level is through the roof and I smoked two packs of cigarettes since Saturday. I can't seem to stop right now. I don't want to be a smoker again on top of having to get divorced. Please, help...

    Yes Virginia, mechanical switches CAN fail...

    ...like the one in my Reo Grand just did. So, can we as a group please stop telling people that mechanical switches will never fail? They are mechanical. Anything mechanical will eventually fail. /EndFrustratedNicotineDeprivedRant

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    I'm posting this in OUTSIDE! because I know that people have good relationships with suppliers and I figure this could get heated as they come to the defense of their favorites. I like our fearless suppliers too. I think they are fine individuals, but I feel that it's time for the e-cigarette...

    No more Ciscos 306s at VaporFlow?

    The only LR 306's I saw on the site were made by Joye. Are you not carrying the Ciscos anymore?

    The Chuck - Long Term Review

    Shortly after I began vaping back in July I decided to make a venture into the world of mods and order one for myself and one for my wife. I wanted something customized to suit our personalities, so a pair of new Chucks was the obvious choice. I spent days searching the internet for pictures...

    Something similar to Vapor Etc. Red Box?

    I love the taste of Vapor Etc's Red Box, but it's chewing up attys like no tomorrow. Can anyone who's tried it recommend something similar?

    In search of the perfect mod...

    Sad times. My wife lost my Buzz. :( Happy times. I get to buy a new mod. :) After I got my Buzz, I started using Cisco LR 306's and I've been vaping 3.7v exclusively. Since I'm not using VV much these days, I'm just going to get a straight 3.7v mod this time. I've been looking for a while now...
