    COV Gen II is falsely advertised.

    Mine came in two days ago. It's chrome plated brass source: My dremel The tube isn't "fused quartz" source: I'm not an idiot? It's just not glass. It's made of plastic. It bends, it's thin. Either change the description or prepare your mailbox and wallets for refunds. I got it working fine...

    My only issue with the Provari and how I fixed it.

    The Provari was almost obviously designed around and for the AW IMR 18650 button tops that they sell and use. I've disassembled my Provari and the battery lines up perfectly with the small hinges located here. Now... while the AW IMR's are fine and dandy it's my personal opinion that they're...

    VVPV Constructive Criticism.

    First off, I'm absolutely loving this device. It's perfect for my rebuildable atomizers. It rocks the Phoenix and trivecca atomizers like it was made for them specifically but I would rather jump right into things that I would like changed and that could improve the device itself. 1. Dump the...

    New DID-copy user, some help needed (It an't hot spots!)

    So apparently I'm somewhat gifted as a new user that I don't really have that many issues with hot spots, maybe a few when I'm starting out but after a while, they all go away and things are hunky dorey. My problem is that my wicks don't really feed worth a damn and I haven't seen too many...

    Stealthing like a Boss...

    I see a lot of threads here about where you should or should not vape and overall if you can learn to stealth the right way, I don't think many of you would even bother asking because no one will know you're doing anything anyway. People equate smoking with smoke and since vapor looks like...

    Found this in Stormy's Vapor Cellar, bought one. Any other names for it?

    Was looking for more Phoenix atomizers as I own about three of those, and I found this classy looking thing. Rainbow Rebuildable Atomizer - $24.99 : Stormys Vapor Cellar, Electronic Cigarettes & More I like the top-down wire loading of it, seems like it would be easier than aiming wire through...

    My Provari is ringing, is yours?

    I'm a young guy, 24 and my ears are pretty good. I can hear high frequencies like the ringing of a CRT television. My Provari makes such a noise, from the chip whenever I press the button. Can anyone else hear this from their device? I saw a thread in a google search that it might be part of...

    Trouble finding decent enclosures.

    I would love, absolutely love to do a 2x18500 OKR-T6 box mod, preferably aluminum, batteries running horizontal on the bottom, circuitry and button up top, and a thumbwheel on the side. It seems so simple and I know I can do it because I've done it to other mods and I have experience with the...

    Ordered mine Friday, no idea what the wait time is... but I'm super excited.

    I have put off getting a Provari since I first learned about it years ago. "WEEEEEELL, I don't really need one, I have VV box mods." "WEEEELL, I don't really need one, I'll just get a kick for my Silver Bullet." "WEEEELL, I don't really need one, I'll just get a Varitube X." "WEEELL...

    Love my Phoenix rebuildable atties, wondering how switching to SS would alter things.

    I've done tons of research on how to go about using it and where to get it. I more or less just don't understand the benefits as I have never used SS as a wicking material before. I figured I could either go about just putting a bit of silica wick along the bottom of the atomizer to help the...

    Finding No-Resistance wire?

    I'm doing some ViVi Nova rebuilding and I've found a good source for Kanthal A1 resistance wire so I have that taken care of, I just need no-resistance wire. ...and as you can probably guess, that isn't the easiest term to google and COV is out of stock, has been for a while. Are there any...

    I think I just found the secret to fixing Stardust wicking issues.

    Just screw them up. Completely screw them the hell up. I take a paperclip and use a pair of pliers to bend a small hook into it, then I simply stick it down into the Stardust and mess up the wicks as much as possible, push them every which way, up, down, all around, break up that braid. Leave...

    It's the end of the world.

    I've wanted someone to investigate this for a while. I found this on Reddit not too long ago. I've suspected that Boge had changed up their cartomizers as well. It looks like this user did a bit of research to find that Boge cartomizers from three different retailers came up with all the same...

    Do you guys have a walk-in store?

    This doesn't seem to be addressed on your website anywhere but my wife and I take trips to SC quite often to visit her family down there and we have to travel through Charlotte to get there. It would be awesome to stop in on the way down.

    Where can I get Smoktech 1.5ohm Sinle-coil Cartos?

    310 Vapers was where I got my last order but they had limited stock. I need a good, trustworthy place in case they don't stock back up before my next order, although I did get enough to keep me until the zombie apocolypse so they might stock back up before I need more. Just fill me in one some...

    Building a DNA board and a POT into a Bolt.

    I've had this vision for a few weeks now and I've been planning it out. Cutting the dial out wouldn't be that big of a pain, I would simply take my dremel and make a slot for it to fit a dial similar to the buzz-pro dial, glue that in, glue in the DNA, solder in connections and pack it all with...

    Figuring out the Smoktek Polyfill Problem.

    It looks like not much of anyone is interested in getting Boge to make lower-res cartomizers as per my pathetic attempt at making a petition to see if they would comply with a community-wide request. So, it looks like you'll just have to deal with it like I'm dealing with it. Why am I dealing...

    The Bogetech 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8ohm Cartomizer Petition.

    Lets get these made. Speak on your behalf of the community. We want Boge quality in low resistance cartomizers! Many of us are tired of Smoktech's shady quality and know the quality of Boge cartomizers. Lets get this petition going. Petition The Bogetech 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8ohm Cartomizer Petition

    The APV buying and selling loophole. Hear me out for a bit.

    I've noticed something that I am rather ashamed of and I can't help but feel that others have probably done this as well. PV companies and manufacturers, I will normally buy your PV and use it, and love it... but I don't see a reason to come back for anything else. I ordered my GLV2 from GLV...

    For those having issues with Altsmoke's checkout

    Just wait, that's all you have to do. It looks like it is going to fail, it looks like it is hanging up but just wait. It is a long process. My Silver Bullet order yesterday took around four or five minutes of page loading before it completed. Do Not reload Do not stop the page Do not go back...
