    Volts and Ohms and all things techie...

    I actually have a serious question or two... hope they belong here! :) I was wondering if someone might be able to talk a little about the voltage of the Bloog battery options, particularly the Trifecta, which I happen to have my greedy eye on. As an aside, does the Trifecta have a cut-off...

    PV adapters are now instock $3.99 each -- 30ml $9.99 @ GP

    Great, thanks Rob. By the way, what would you say are your current most popular juice flavors in terms of what everyone actually orders? Maybe the top 3 or so each for both standard and new? And one more before I crawl back under my rock... you've probably covered this by now, but you used...

    PV adapters are now instock $3.99 each -- 30ml $9.99 @ GP

    Probably too late to ask since I already pulled the trigger on the order... but it's been a while since I've ordered juice, possibly as much as 5 or 6 months (yep, the credit card payment option brought me back!), so I'm wondering if you might have changed juice suppliers for any of your...

    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your 510

    Really nice job, Kristin... this will be a big help for new users and veterans alike. I already have 5 of the links opened in tabs and will be going through them, at least one of which I had been looking for a while back, but could never find. Thanks for taking the time to put this together...

    Merged old sticky threads (2)

    I just received my stick minutes ago, and was bemoaning the distinct lack of vapor, and came here (naturally) for the answer - and here it was! This thread triggered my memory of the cap method that I'd seen months back (along with my memories of mangling 801 atomizers with various types of...

    Vape Friendly Airlines

    Not the answer I was hoping for with an American flight to Chicago coming up next week, but thanks for posting this... at least now I know. Great idea for a thread, RIA! Tim

    Israeli Bans E-cigs------Health Ministry institutes complete ban on e-cigarettes following recent FDA press conference

    Health Ministry Bans Electronic Cigarettes - Health - Israel News - Israel National News I can't describe how angry this makes me. As if it wasn't enough that the FDA is working to eradicate e-cigarettes in our country, health officials from another country have now decided to take their cue...

    too much liquid?

    Yessir, much clearer... thanks for taking the time to clarify. I'm going to try this over the weekend, because I think it will solve the problem I've been having with the shortened filler (which leaves room for the air pocket in the original version of the mod) getting pushed down in the...

    FDA Conference Audio

    Chris, Thanks very much for hosting and posting the audio, I am absolutely much better informed for having heard the actual call. I'd summarize it this way - nothing has changed in the FDA's position or activities, this was merely an anti-e-cigarette propaganda tool. I wish I could get that...

    Perpendicular or parallel?

    Most would probably say to have the flat sides parallel to the hump - in other words, orient the long sides of both the atomizer bridge and the cart to run in the same direction. This should reduce the chances of the bridge/hump/wick melting the short/flat/straight sides of the cart. I feel...

    too much liquid?

    I see this too... what I've been doing lately is to take a couple of hits from the cartless atomizer whenever I top off or replace the cartridge, to get some of the liquid out of the atomizer and make room for a little more to soak up from the fresh cart. Seems to be doing the trick so far, and...

    too much liquid?

    Could you clarify what you mean by "cut one edge off the straw"? Are you cutting through one of the bent edges to leave the straw in kind of a "C" shape when looking at the end? And if so, does the open or closed side of the "C" make contact with the curved side of the cart? I'm kind of...

    Janty Dura-C Leaking

    That usually indicates an "over-juice" condition of one form or another - topping off with too much, overfilled pre-filled carts, overfilling yourself, flooded atomizer, etc. It takes some time to find the right level. Take a read through the Joye 510 subforum, if you haven't already... lots...

    510 usage and maintenance instructions from Joye Technology

    I wouldn't touch the wick with a q-tip, as you'd almost certainly leave some fibers behind on the mesh, which probably wouldn't vape very nicely... :) Most seem to soak them in an alcohol bath, rather than applying it directly. @renderwrks: good point on the distilled water, seems obvious...

    801 batteries

    Well, I don't have anything to compare it with other than the RN-4072 batteries from Puresmoker, but I bought an 801 battery from Jane at electroniccigarettesales.com (electronic cigarette e-cigarette e-cig electric cigarette e-liquid : BATTERY FOR PEN STYLE (STAINLESS SOLD OUT)), and I like it...

    Bad taste in cartridge material

    grumpster did the Fluval video, and it's excellent: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/20403-fluval-cartridge-restuffing-video-instructions.html I got the same funky taste when I packed too much polyfill in my cartridges. The Fluval is much less prone to it, but it's still...

    long grey hairs in atomizer under bridge. burning taste

    Have you replaced the cartridges since you noticed the taste? Did you get it immediately, or after you had been vaping for a while with each atomizer? If you have fluid leaking out the sides, the carts may have gotten hot enough during prior sessions to fuse the fibers in the filling material...

    Burning Taste --POLL-- discussion

    I suspect that there is a lot of confusion around this issue because "burning taste" might actually mean different things to different people - it's nobody's fault, but writing about smell is like painting about taste. There's the taste that tells you your cart is getting dry, I'd call it a hot...
