    The Latest Bad Research

    Here's what now passes for "research" in the anti-ecig camp. Kind of long, but the summary is worth looking at, if for no other reason than to get your blood boiling...

    Introducing Futura - The Modular DNA 20 APV by NexgenVapor[ISSUE]

    Z-Atty info needed

    Anyone know the dimensions of the Z-Atty-U and Z-Atty-G? I'm guessing the U is similar in width to a Vivi Nova standard, but more informed info would be appreciated.

    Kick Users: Read Up!

    So I've been having this issue with my Kick: often, even with a fresh battery, it'll go into the dreaded pulsing (low batt) mode after only a few minutes. Generally I've been able to resolve this by removing the batt and re-installing, but today it really bugged me so I called the factory for...

    American or European Made VV Mods List?

    Maybe we could compile a list of non-Chinese VV-VW devices. I'd be interested to know what else besides the Provari, Darwin, etc is out there. Might help publicize some of the smaller makers as well. Anyone care to begin?

    Support the USPS!

    As many of you may have read, the U.S. Post Office is planning to eliminate Saturday service as a cost-cutting measure. While this may or may not be acceptable to our pathetic excuse for a Congress, the fact is that the service has been burdened by mandated retirement pre-funding expenses since...

    Am I the only one who doesn't think think the Provari is "all that"?

    Just checked out the Provari subforum to see what all the fuss is about. Wow, what a cult! Somewhere between the Summer of Love and Jonestown, I think. I've tried these things, and while they're undeniably nice units, imho they really don't vape any better than my old LT 1.0. Sure, build...

    Young June is Dead, Long Live L-Rider 1.5

    So my early version Young June black chrome suddenly started sizzling all by itself, then gasped its last. RIP. Man, I'm just done with these things. The L-Rider 1.5 is soooo much better (and that includes the Lamebo, with its squirrely center pin). As a backup to the Vamo, or even as the main...

    Can't access blogs through Android app

    Anyone else experiencing problems trying to read blog posts with the Android app? I keep getting "unexpected sever response." Very annoying. Thanks in advance for any input or advice.

    Will Vamo Extinguish the LT?

    The new Vamo, with VV and VW, seems like it may be the new LT killer, considering price points are about the same. Someone better come out with an upgraded LT or they may be history pretty soon.

    Requiem for a Young June

    After giving my black chrome YJ what I consider a fair and valid testing cycle, I've come to the conclusion that its PWM circuit isn't quite ready for prime time. While my LT 1.5 (L-Rider, or Uniq - who knows) performs perfectly - nice, uniform vape, voltage consistent to the end, smooth and...

    Uniq LTs?

    Anyone seen or used the LTs made by Uniq? Apparently they make a whole range, from L-Rider clones to a Vmax copy. I'm wondering if they're any good or not.

    Huh. Who Knew?

    Wow. Just accidentally found that if you click the fire button five times in succession on an L-Rider 1.0 it gives a resistance reading. No idea these early models had that function. Am I the only one who didn't know this?

    Vivi Nova Care and Maintenance

    I don't claim to be an expert on these things, but since so many users seem to be experiencing problems of one sort or another I thought I'd throw in my $.02 and expound on a few simple measures to keep 'em up and running at full speed. 1. Remove the white silicon cap and cut a small triangular...

    Nice Vivi Nova Clone

    I haven't been a great fan of clearomizers over the years, having had no end of frustrating experiences with the CE2 series, but I have to say that the Vivi Nova clone sold by free-cigs.com has completely changed my mind about these things. After reading many less than complimentary reviews...

    Juice and Carto Life Expectancy

    So generally I get about three days out of a given carto, whether it be Boge, Kanger, Smoketech, whatever. First day is usually tasty, second functional, third flavorless, fourth - dead. Imagine my surprise when, after receiving a juice order from vapeBig, loading up my last 2 ohm Boge XL, and...

    Easy LT button fix

    I posted this fix as a reply to another thread, but thought it might warrant its own since it seems to be such a common problem. So, as you all know, the firing button frequently refuses to work, causing no end of frustration and sore thumbs. Why this occurs is a mystery (to me, at least), but...

    The Root of All Evil

    Anyone else of the opinion that plastic fill and wicks cause most of the taste, burning, and draw problems with almost all carts and clears? That if manufacturers would simply use metal or some other non melt-able material none of these issues would occur? IMHO, as long as these devices are...

    The Amazing Automatic Drip-o-mizer!!

    So I was filling a new cart a couple of weeks ago, but little did I know that my needle had developed a slight hook on the tip, probably from being dropped. Anyway, upon retraction, the polyfill snagged and came straight out of the tube - damn. Brand new cart destroyed... or so i thought...

    Another reason to go with VV

    When in the course of human events (namely vaping) it becomes necessary to decide whether or not to toss a cart, atty, etc., the resistance of the device bears consideration. In my many years of messing with old electronics (radios, amps) it's been a fairly common thing to find resistors which...
