    Stick with 901s on Ego-twist or change?

    I've been vaping for 2 years and stuck so far with 1.8ohm LR 901 atomizers I drip with ego-twist set at ~3.7. I've always loved the taste and TH from these, but lately my attys have been burning out in 3-4 days each, which gets annoying and expensive. I've never had luck with cartomizers -...

    Difference in all the Joye Egos out there?

    Hi - I started vaping a year ago and bought and use the standard 650 mah Joye ego battery with a 510 connection. Now I'm in need to buy replacement batteries and seem to have been burned buying knock-off egos at other sites that don't last as long or hold a charge. Can someone explain what all...

    LR 306 Atty Problems

    I have recurring problems with New LR 306 atomizers - I have tried both 1.5 and 2 ohm varieties on both Ego batteries and set at 3.5 or lower on my provari. They work great for half a day with great throat hit and vapor, then seem to putter out - with very little TH or vapor. I am using Cisco...

    What Atomizers to use with ProVari?

    I am looking to buy the ProVari. Does the unit natively accept 510 atomizers, or do I need to buy an adapter? There are so many types of 510 atomizers out there - can someone suggest what best fits with the Provari? I want to use cartridges. Thanks

    Coughing up Tar

    I've been off analogs for 3 weeks now! Yeah! But I'm still coughing up phlegm with flecks of tar as my lungs clear themselves out (I was a 1PAD for 15 years). How long has it taken other vapers to clear out their lungs after quiting analogs? I know it is different for every person, just...

    Smokestik vs. ego

    Hi - I started out with the SS, then was encouraged to get the eGo. I refill both the SS cartomizer as well as the eGo cartridges, but just don't get the TH with the SS as I do the ego, even with the same juice. Why is that? Is it that the power is less? I wish I could get the same...

    Voltage Differences?

    Hi - I am really into this vaping thing and want to try the next level. Am currently using an eGo. But am interested in the Provape. Can someone please explain why different voltages matter for vaping? Do you get a better TH or vapor at different voltages? What voltage is the ego? Would...

    Anyone in Austin

    Hi - I've been vaping for about a month. Anyone out there on the ECF forums from the Austin area? Are there any local places to buy supplies - I buy it all online now, just curious.

    Where to buy 36mg Juice?

    Most of the ejuice sites recommended here top out at 24mg. That works for me, but I vape a lot. Do any vendors sell pre-mixed 36mg juice? I don't think I'm ready to go down the DIY path quite yet. Thanks!

    Organizing Cartridges

    OK - so I've now ordered lots of different juices and blank cartridges. I've been trying them all, but am sure getting confused what liquid is in each cartridge before I try another one. Has anyone figured out a label or way to mark a cartridge to know what flavor to use in each one...

    Atomizer maintenance

    Hi - I will be new to using an eGo I ordered, so will be my first experience with a 3 piece unit. What do I need to do for atomizer maintenance? Do you blow through them every so often? Or clean them? What about cartridge maintenance? Do they need to be cleaned somehow? How many times...

    What is a passthrough?

    I know, newbie question. Can all eGos use a passthrough? Does this mean you have your eGo connected to the USB on your computer all day while you vape?

    Joye eGo setup advice

    OK, I have been reading everything I can on ECF for the last couple weeks. What a lot to learn, but everyone here is so helpful! I have finally decided to take the eGo plunge, but am still confused: which is easier to refill with juice - the carts or cartomizers, and what cartomizer can I buy...

    RN4081 Cartomizers - work well with Smokestik?

    I am still a bit confused. Can you buy blank RN4081 cartomizers that work with the Smokestik batteries (I have a Hendu)? I am looking for blank units to fill with ejiuce, but use my SS battery. I assume an RN4081 has a different internal design than the prefilled SS cartomizers? Which is...

    How is Nicotine Juice Made? How to determine Strength?

    I'm new to the e-cig and juice world. I don't understand how purified nicotine is made into a liquid. Is it somehow squeezed out of tobacco leaves? What company or person does this - meaning, where are all of these ejuice companies getting the purified nicotine? How do we know all of the...

    Refilling SmokeStik Cartomizers

    I recently bought the Hendu SmokeStik and have been reading everything I can about how to refill the cartomizers in the forums, but am still a bit confused. From what I can tell, the SS cartomizer is a more advanced 4081 with an atomizer included as one piece. The cartomizers are meant to be...
