    Old vaper stuck in his ways looking for new path

    You may be exactly right. This is what my OP is all about. Trying to see if any of the newer tech is something I would be interested in. I won't hurt my feelings at all to keep doing what I've been doing for the last few years. But you (and few others) have already sent me down the path of...

    Old vaper stuck in his ways looking for new path

    I don't even know what MTL is (only recently learned what RTA meant). I now have something more to research. So this is what I was talking about in my OP. You great folks are helping direct my learning. Thank you!

    Old vaper stuck in his ways looking for new path

    DIY juice was one of my earlier experiments. I had all the equipment, a myriad of flavors, etc. I think I still have a bottle of the concentrated nicotine in a cabinet -- not sure what its shelf life is. Eventually the mass production of high quality juice at fair prices caused me to abandon...

    Yes! It was aquarium filters. Those little thin blue sheets of foam material. Thanks for the memories!

    Old vaper stuck in his ways looking for new path

    Background: I started vaping years ago when the technology was relatively immature and rapidly changing. I was an avid participant in this forum at the time. I used 808s and 510s with all sorts of atomizers, cartomizers, clearomizers, and tanks (and most of them were awful by today's...

    Constant problems with cartomizers -- please advise

    I am getting very frustrated with my inability to find a cartomizer (and I am using the term pretty loosely here to mean any mechanism of delivering juice to a heated coil). Dripping always works fine but that is simply not feasible most of the time (at work, driving, etc.) I am not a newbie...

    hope the new server is up and running quick

    I have been researching and contemplating my next e-cig purchase for a while now and I finally put together a nice order for MV and then I find out that I just missed the midsummer sale event by a few days. After cussing myself for missing that I then find out that their server is down for...

    How To Clean and Rebuild The Gogo Cartomizer

    Alara asked an interesting question that I have not yet noticed an answer on. How about using the blue foam (marine canister filters) as a filler replacement? Has anyone tried that? What is differnt about the blue foam vs. the Fluval Water Polishing Pad that might effect its use as a filler...

    The Echo Thread

    My KR-808 chargers do not work because the threads are too recessed for the fat Echo battery to be able screw into the charger. Madvapes sells a 901 (same thread as 808) battery extender that looks like it might make it possible to do, but I have not yet ordered one. Of course that is just...

    Help with VV circuit

    Well, that would have been a good idea. Shoulda done that. But in all my efforts to figure out what is going on I have since desoldered all the components except the regulator and then soldered in some wires so I could connect it all to a breadboard and further play with the circuit (the...

    I have put the pot on my DVM and verified that when turning the pot it ranges from 0 -50K. I also tested both resistors and they were will within tolerances.

    Help with VV circuit

    No offense, it is a good question and I should have said to begin with. I am using two 14500 batts in series as power source.

    Help with VV circuit

    I am trying my hand at my very first VV mod. To make the first attempt simple I chose to purchase this little VV kit: Variable Voltage Regulator Board Kit Rev 2 This circuit gives me a steady 1.3 volts output no matter what the setting of the pot is. I have examined my soldering job many...

    The Echo Thread

    I think I may be dragging this thread off topic a bit, and for that I apologize. But please bear with me as I think this will be a very quick aside. The descriptions of the volt indicator linked by JimmyJet above says "These indicators may not work properly with batteries that use linear or...

    Well, now that makes sense to me. Is this something readily purchased or are these homemade contraptions?

    Smoketip?

    I just wanted to throw in my $0.02 for ST. They were where I started my vaping experience and I send everyone that asks about e-cigs to them. With their excellent product and customer service they make entering the world of e-cigs very easy.

    The Echo Thread

    Thank you tx and everyone else that replied with help on my charger problem. Also thanks to Bill who replied with help via PM (he is a great vendor to work with!). We solved the problem by slightly rasing the connector on the charger to better meet the battery. Charged great over night and...
