    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...

    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...

    Newbie: Why don't we only talk about power (watts)?

    I am a vaping newbie, but I am already interested in the variable voltage PVs out there. Even more, I am thinking I would like to make my own high voltage, or even better, variable voltage PV. But while I am somewhat familiar with DC electricity, I think I am probably in the category of...

    KR808 USB PT, inline battery, & LR atty questions

    I am confused and have several questions. First, as I understand it, my KR808 USB PT has an inline battery. So I would assume that this is supposed to be a typical KR808 battery at 3.7 volts. So I was surprised when I put a volt meter on it and read 4.5V. Q1. Is my 4.5V reading reasonable...

    Best Vendors

    I know the criteria for "best" is very subjective, but what I like is the lowest possible price while still getting good service. That is what I mean by "best". So, I have found a few vendors that I am very happy with based on the above criteria. I will list them below. But the Internet...

    Why should I care about vapor production?

    I have been vaping for about a month now (and not a single analog for about 3 weeks). During that time I have learned a tremendous amount (mostly thanks to this wonderful forum). But there is one very simple concept I have yet to figure to out. Why should anyone care about vapor production...

    TopVapor USA E-liquids - Need to steep?

    I have worked on the assumption that the China liquids, having come all the way from China, do not really need to steep. So far (I have not been at this too long) all my juices have been from China and they seem fine right from my mailbox. But I am wondering how quickly the TopVapor USA...

    Question about 901 carts

    I started by buying a KR808d-1 from SmokeTip (very happy with them). From this forum I soon learned that the DSE901 atomizers would work on the 808. I bought a couple of 901 atomizers mostly planning to try my hand at dripping. That is working pretty well (though I did just post a question...

    How do these drip tips work?

    I have been vaping for about 3 weeks. I started off with a two-piece KR808d-1 from SmokeTip (been a huge fan of their prices and customer server -- but that is not the point of this post). Then I learned (from this forum) that DSE901 atomizers would work with the KR808 batteries, and I...

    Noob's first cartomizer refill -- problems

    I recently purchased a SmokeTip branded KR808. It has been great and I have been about 2 weeks now without having an analog. Then I ordered some e-juice from Rocky Mtn. Vapor. Yesterday I tried for the first time to refill some used cartomizers. To experiment I filled some using the...

    What does it really mean to say an e-cig is a KR808d-1, 501, 901, etc.?

    First, I apologize if this information exists elsewhere. I assume it does, but I was not coming up with the correct search criteria to find it. Throughout this site I often see e-cigs discussed not by brand name but something more generic such as the KR808d-1, the 510, 901, etc. But I am not...
