    Wanna appreciate what you have?

    I have a solution for the folks that get tired of their daily PV and think they need to upgrade. Recently, after an unfortunate accident with my Sabre Touch going for a long walk off a short pier, I purchased a cheapo disposable at a cig shop to puff on while my batts charged for my backup VV...

    "Oh Crap!" PV Moments

    While on vacation down on the coast and against my better judgement, I took my Sabre Touch to the pier to do a little Speckled Trout fishing. In one of those moments where you know it's a bad idea, but you do it anyway...I set the ST down on the rail of the pier while fishing. My actual...

    VV Box Not Operational

    Hi, I recently purchased a new VV box mod from Mad Vapes. I am trying to run an Acorn tank from Parkes on top of it at around 2.8 Ohms. I charged the brand new (from MV as well) Ultrafire 14500's up and am getting nothing at all. Can you give me any thoughts of what I can try to make it work?

    Help!!

    I just purchased a used Saber Touch. I am trying to get it to work with my Trustfire 18650 batts and an ego mega dual coil. Inside the battery tube says to use 18650 or rcr 3volt batts, but I'm not getting any fire. Is there a trick that I should know about here? Sent from my T8788 using...

    Nicotine Suppliers?

    I've been getting my nic from RTS Vapes and, while I'm happy with the product, I'm rather sick of paying their exorbitant shipping rates. They charge over $12 for USPS Priority, and they don't offer anything but. I'm just sick of my shipping cost being higher than the cost of my product...

    This Is Customer Service!! KUDOS To Parkes Vaping!!!

    I ordered a new Shine mod and an Acorn tank from Parkes Vaping on Friday last week. I received them in the mail Monday. The Shine looks awesome, and you can't beat the prices!! I did have a small issue with the Acorn tank leaking through the center post. Likely there is a tiny hole that...

    Another Battery Question

    I'm trying to put together everything I need to order for my first mod build. I've pretty much settled on a MV 5V box kit. Probably laughable to all you pro modders, but it's my first so don't laugh too loudly. :blush: The MV site doesn't specify which batts to use for the 5V. I'm assuming 2...

    This Flavoring Stuff Is Kinda Crazy!!

    OK...here's the story... I was quickly running out of flavoring to do my favorite DIY juice with 6% liquid Menthol, 6%Koolada and 20%Wintergreen, all from TPA. So I cut back tremendously on the Wintergreen flavoring percentage to keep everything tame. I made the exact same amount of juice...

    Box and Battery Fit Question...

    OK, I've just about studied myself into never never land now and I think I'm about ready to try my first box mod build. I would really like to take advantage of a larger mAh battery (or two) on my first attempt. Something like an 18650 or so. My question is, when it comes time to go to...

    FS eGo Kit Arrived...

    YIPPEE!! :tongue: The FS eGo kit arrived that I won from the My PV Shop forum giveaway just in time for me to take it down south to where my nephew lives. I have talked to him at great length about vaping and he always seemed extremely interested, but cannot afford to purchase a PV and...

    Chinese Instructions...

    Being a manly-man, I do not consider instructions a worthwhile thing to read in general. However, today I was bored at work when my new charger came in from Madvapes. I actually read the instructions for this little jewel. Don't you just love reading instructions from made-in-China...

    Whodathunkit???

    So I've been trying to come up with a good menthol recipe and really thought menthol and koolada would get me there. I started with a 5% mix of TPA menthol liquid and 5% koolada, and tweaked it from there up to 7% menthol liquid and 6% koolada, but it always seemed that something was missing...

    BIG Mods???

    I have large hands! I have noticed a trend in PVs to try to get them as small as possible. In looking toward a future high end purchase, I am looking for the following... A tube mod...such as the Provari but BIGGER! Preferrable chrome Variable Voltage 510 threading I just get tired of...

    It's All About The Menthol, Baby!!

    OK...I admit it...I'm a menthol JUNKIE!! When I smoked, it was menthols! My favorite everyday juices are menthol! About the only thing I haven't tried in menthol was Cinna-menthol. :blink: (Not a cinnamon fan.) So I have some liquid menthol and some koolada enroute. Can anyone give me some...

    Rediscovering The Fluxomizer...

    I tossed my last two Fluxos in the emergency stash whilst vaping my beloved EMDCCs. When one of my two EMDCCs finally tanked after a month, I performed the seal mod that Mindfield introduced me to on one of the Fluxos and juiced 'er up. Man, I had forgotten what a wonderful vape these...

    Did I do that?

    I have noticed that when I vape my DIY unflavored juice, I start feeling funny. My face feels flush and I just feel "off." I used the ejuice me up calculator and applied the nic amounts for my 60mg nicotine to arrive at a 24mg final. I am also using the wal mart humco brand glycerine. I...

    Vaping And Hunting...Hunters Weigh In...

    At long last, after about 20 years away from the sport, I finally got myself a new bow. My question for you bow hunters (and gun hunters as well) is about vaping while hunting. Do you do it? I'm thinking that, since I now vape primarily unflavored juice, that the smell would likely be so...

    Unflavored Juice

    I just DIYd up some 24 mg unflavored juice at 80PG/20VG as a base stock for flavoring later. Being that taste ranks down on my list of importance (TH and vapor production being most important,) I'm really seriously thinking about trying to vape it. I know when I worked in the lab, I actually...
