    So, how many people have you "converted" ?

    Two directly, my brother and mother. Two indirectly, cousins of my wife. They'd seen me vaping for a couple years and finally picked it up, but I played no direct part in it other than answering the occasional question. Tried converting a couple others to no avail. My father hated it, and he...

    I stopped the day I got my first eGo kit.

    getting a burnt taste every time i refill my tank

    Hard to give advice without knowing what tank you're using. Whenever I'm on a fresh fill on an eVod (or similar; protank, protank 2, etc) I dry hit if I don't take some dry pulls between hits. Usually I just fill it and take two or three good hard drags, and take a good hard drag once every six...

    What was your first e-cig (and 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc)

    Envy Bliss. Cheap throwaway one, created zero visible vapor, nearly no flavor. It was, all in all, terrible. It was also $80 for a kit (two batteries, 5 carts, USB charger) About a year later I bought... Dragon... I think? It, too, was $80, but used cartos. The flavor was good, actually...

    Flavourart Flavors in 30ml bottles?

    ecigexpress only has them available in 10s so I checked freedomsmokeusa and again, only 10s. Upon digging it seems some flavors are still available in 30s at ecigexpress, but I'm looking for cantaloupe and spearmint. Not spending $12 on 30ml when I was spending 8 just a few months ago.

    Honest report of vaping pros and cons from my point of view

    From what I've read, I have to second the statement that bleeding gums is a common side effect of quitting smoking and is most likely unrelated to vaping. As far as your snoring easing up, I'm going to hazard a guess and say it takes a lot longer than a month and a half for your respiratory...

    What problems are you having with your Pro tank?

    Today I was doing some yard work and took a vape break, and I was flooded. I pulled the tank off, blew it out and reattached and was instantly flooded again. Rinse, repeat, still flooded. I blew *REALLY* hard and then noticed I had a lot of juice rolling out of the top of the glass where the...

    Protank Leaking from Glass

    I've seen that sun-vapors has acknowledged this, but I digress... One of my protanks is leaking from where the mouthpiece meets the glass. All I want to do is fix it myself rather than return it. Ergo I'm looking for recommendations for an easy-to-apply glue that will sufficiently stick to...

    What problems are you having with your Pro tank?

    Floods like a sieve when heading outdoors into warm weather. Really pissing me off. Constant dry hits. First coil ran for a week without a single dry hit after removing one wick. On my 3rd coil now (replaced a day old coil thinking it was the problem) and problem still persists, at 8 watts...

    Sudden burnt taste from protank ???

    Dry pull once. Maybe twice. Experiment which works best. I flood pro tanks really easily with dry pulling, though, with a wick removed. Or, pull harder when you draw. I've recently started having to do this. Same juice on my end, just not wicking worth a damn anymore. The juice you're using...

    Am I getting bored of vaping?

    I went through this around 3-5 months into vaping. I think it's just your taste buds are waking up. I powered through it with unflavored for about a month and eventually everything worked out, but the flavors I fell in love with when I began vaping no longer tasted the same to me and were...

    Passed my first "test"

    My mom still smokes so I've yet to get away from the smell. Before I started smoking I never really liked the smell, but always ignored it okay. Now that I've been vaping for two years, I can smell the smokers in my classes and find the smell of cigarette smoke to be beyond disgusting. I...

    2012 The Best of the Best DIY flavorings from each flavor manufacture

    Wintergreen - Flavor Apprentice Cantaloupe - Flavourart Caramel - Flavourart Cappuccino - Flavourart I have a thing for flavourart, apparently. If anyone else makes a flavor, I find flavourarts to always be superior. I'm finding a lot of flavors just don't vape worth a damn, though...

    Box-shape VV recommendations

    I own a lavatube, and I really really don't like the tube shape. I fell back to my altoids tin for now. I love it, but it's just too bloody large (and I really need to rip the guts out and put them in a new tin) so I was really excited about the VV gripper, but I'm not overpaying for another...

    Box-shape VV recommendations

    18650 preferable since I have 6 of them floating around. I own a now broken VV Gripper, but they're so crappy that I don't want to replace it I also own an altoids tin from smartvapes but it's too big and a 14500 box from madvapes but it's just too cheap feeling. Around the size of the VV...

    Gripper Discussion

    It's not so much that it's a quality control problem, in my case. The battery door is literally held in place by sliding into two little slits on both sides, and the top end of the plastic of that slit broke extremely easily. That's not quality control, that's piss poor design. I've given up on...

    Gripper Discussion

    I was really peeved when it happened, but I've calmed down now. If anything, it's probably a good thing because I'm not thrilled with the button placement anyhow. It's a shame, though. The feel of the mod is really nice. I like the gripper part of it, and the rubberized coating feels nice.

    Gripper Discussion

    AW 2000 mAh IMR. They fit, but they're snug, didn't seem to be putting much stress on the battery door. The door broke from a tumble, but still. I knew it would be a weak point, I didn't expect it to be THAT weak. I think I might transplant the guts into a smaller altoids box, big enough for an...

    Gripper Discussion

    Couldn't be unhappier with this thing. I knew it when I saw it that the battery door would be trouble, and it is. When it's closed, it's held down along the back end by a slight edge of plastic on both sides, which broke incredibly easily. Tape is currently the only thing keeping mine closed...

    replacement screw for Siam Mods Carto Punch

    I can't find anyone who has the information on what size a replacement screw should be. Went to Home Depot and looked through but couldn't find any loose self tappers. I've sharpened mine twice but eventually it'll run out of metal so I'm trying to find some cheapy replacements, without...
