    Auto batttery

    I was lucky and avoided the learning curve for the most part- starting with an Ego, adding a couple of Rivas, a box mod, and a black Silver Bullet. Lately, though, I've gotten the urge to try an automatic battery. I did get an automatic generic 510, but it has a really hard draw. So I guess...

    Question about ordering from Capellas

    My first order with Capella took six days from order to shipping, which I didn't think a whole lot about because there was a holiday stuck in there, and I realize I have gotten spoiled by the next day shipping by many of the juice and hardware vendors. My current order took nine days from...

    Looking for an old thread with FA Tobacco graph

    There was a thread I'd read previously that had a graph that someone had created based on info from the Flavour Art site that showed the various tobaccos and the "quality" that they had, such as smoke, vanilla, hay, etc. I've tried a couple different ways of searching for this, and apparently...

    O-Rings for Drip Tips?

    I've got a bunch of drip tips that seem to fit some of my atomizers and cartomizers but are too small for others...they stick to my lip after the hit and then fall off and roll away, often under the couch. They are 510s if it matters. I seem to recall reading in another thread somewhere that...

    Hoping someone can save me some intense math re 100 mg/dL juice

    I just got my package of nic juice in (thanks Levy for amazingly fast shipping). Most of what I got was in 50, but I did get one of the little samplers of 100 mg/mL. I vape at a fairly low nic level, anywhere between 5 and 10. I'm still in the discovery phase so I am not making big batches of...

    Anyone using 10440 batteries?

    There's a couple of the ultraslim mods out there that I like for being out and about. If I recall correctly, both use the 10440 batteries. Assuming the use of standard atomizers or cartomizers (as opposed to LR), what kind of battery life do you get out of these? Living in the middle of...

    General question regarding batteries

    I was shopping around in general looking to see if electronic stores sold the types of batteries used in mods. In my travels across the internet, I saw that Frys sells an 14500 lithium 3.6V that is not rechargeable. It costs more than a rechargeable one, so you sure wouldn't want to make a...

    Looking for a couple flavor recommendations

    I wondered if anybody could recommend a good smooth, mild tobacco flavor? I have discovered that I really cannot stand the Flavour Art tobaccos. No matter how much I let them set to blend, soften, die, they still give me an overpowering smokey flavor (this is in both flavoring and a couple...

    Looking for Flavor vs Voltage rules of thumb

    In my head, it seemed that the stronger flavors like mint should be at their best with a stronger voltage, like a 5V or LR configuration (for those of us that prefer a 3.7 setup in general). Then I read a thread that said that the mints, in particular a thin mint cookie type, were better at the...

    Happy new owner of a BSB

    I brought my black Silver Bullet in from the mailbox at about 5:00 last night and have not left it out of my hand for more than five minutes since I brought it in, except to sleep. I was tempted even then to tuck it in next to me, but I was afraid the dog would be sneaking some of my caramel...

    Question regarding working with Flavour Art tobacco flavors

    As near as I can tell from my reading here and several other web sites, the FA tobaccos are quite potent. It was recommended somewhere else, especially when working in small quantities like for the initial test batches, to dilute it down a good bit while working with it. For the FA tobacco...

    Atomizer/Cartomizer Differences

    I use the eGo/Riva setup, although I am waiting for the arrival of a big battery mod. I can't help but notice that there are adapters to take them to different styles (or are they thread sizes?) like the 510 to the 801 (same as a KR808?) or 901 and some that are threaded the same but have...

    Questions re: Making a sweet black tea (Lipton type)

    So it seems we can make liquids by soaking flavored "things" in our PG, like Snus. So I want to try a sweet black tea and was curious about the proportions. When I make a 6 ounce-ish cup of tea, I use a single tea bag. For vaping purposes, do I want to make a much stronger brew? Obviously...

    Passthrough and Adapter Question

    I have a 5V USB passthrough that I use predominantly with the 2A/USB adapter from MadVapes. I would like to get a generic 510 adapter (I assume 3.7V). My question is two-part. Unless it specifically says 5V, can I assume it's 3.7? Also, once I track down a lower voltage pass-through, can I...

    3.7 Big Battery Mods

    I'm looking into getting a big battery (18650) mod. I actually love my RiVa and eGo, but have this paranoia about the proprietary batteries getting difficult to find, plus my frugal bone sees the wisdom in spending half the price to get a battery that lasts twice as long. I really like the...

    General preferences question

    I've only been vaping a month, and was lucky enough to start with an eGo and in short order I got a pair of RiVas. For convenience sake, I got a passthrough which turned out to be 5V and I got a couple of LR atties just to try. I used my LR atties and 5V for a three day period and they got me...

    Looking for a sweet smooth mocha

    I just started with attempting DYI, and I'm already at a loss. I would love to come up with a white chocolate mocha or even a plain mocha. I'm working strictly nic free with PG right now just for practice. I got some cappuccino thinking it would contain the cream. I'm using about 1.5 mL of...

    More curiosity than interest

    Is there a reason that you don't see a lot of liquids in the salty flavors? Other than a few random ones like buttered popcorn, I'm a little surprised that there aren't Cheeto, Dorito, salt & vinegar potato chips, etc. type flavors.

    RiVa and cartomizer- more tip than question

    I picked up some LR cartomizers to use with my RiVa to simulate the good vapor production I get with my 5V passthrough. I assembled my RiVa with the LR carto and the vapor production was almost nil and the draw was hard enough that I worried I would soon be slurping juice. I was in the process...

    Insomnia

    I'm about three weeks into vaping, had an immediate reduction in my two pack/day habit to 7, 4, then 2, and in the last two days I have one cigarette total. I was smoking Virginia Slims Ultra Light 120s. I am currently using 16 mg juice. My sleeping habits were never great, getting six hours...
