    An OH NOOOO ! Moment

    Hello everyone! I haven't visited these forums much since about a couple of weeks after I got my first PV (and Ego-T), but have just recently rediscovered them. In the 8 months since, the Ego-T batteries died on me after some questionable (that is to say, definitely imitation) atomizers leaked...

    I Broke my provari...

    This happened to me once. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the indentation that the spring sits in threaded? My solution was to manipulate the base of the coil into a very slight oval. Then I placed the cap on a desk and, using a pair of needlenose pliers, I grabbed the spring about halfway...

    17 years, 10 months, and 10 day compared to 15 days.

    Very nice! I actually quit the same day you did, and I haven't looked back. I've smoked one cigarette since getting my PV, just out curiosity as to how they compare, and it was honestly disgusting. I could smell the nasty odor coming off of my fingertips and beard for the entire rest of the...

    Accidentally Held Button on Ego-T; Burnt Plastic Taste Forever? ='(

    Random new question here, but what is the general consensus on how atomizers get destroyed, anyway? Provided that you've cleaned them gently with shorting out the coil, and don't heat them up to the point that they destroy the electrical connections, I don't exactly understand how such a simple...

    Optimizing the stock eGo T

    I started having that problem with one of my atomizers. The solution was to put a couple drops of e-liquid in the battery end of the atomizer and blow gently but firmly until they'd entered. Then pop the cartridge back in, take a few long, slow no-button puffs to get wick wet, then try it from...

    Accidentally Held Button on Ego-T; Burnt Plastic Taste Forever? ='(

    Oh yes, I love the on/off feature. My bed in my dorm room is right behind the chair at my desk, so I tend to use it as a table. I was waiting for the phonecall, and when I finally got it, I kinda vaulted onto the bed. Oh, young love... making me ruin my atomizer...

    Accidentally Held Button on Ego-T; Burnt Plastic Taste Forever? ='(

    Thank you everyone for your responses. I had intended to build a new wick using pyramid teabag material as suggested in the following thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/169520-simplecjs-ego-t-wick-mod.html What are your thoughts on using that material for the purpose...

    Accidentally Held Button on Ego-T; Burnt Plastic Taste Forever? ='(

    Is the burnt taste coming just from the atty? If the plastic on the tank/tank cap hasn't melted at all, the atomizer has likely just been dried out. Put a couple drops of a clear-ish liquid on the battery end of the atomizer and blow it through. You'll know when this has been accomplished by the...

    e smoking dangers?

    1. 48mg would irritate your skin, but we're not talking about alien blood here. You'll get to keep the body part. Just rinse it off as soon as you can. 2. Keep the cap on the bottle and nothing will escape it. Just shake it up before you use it. 3. Way too strong. You don't need to worry about...

    Accidentally Held Button on Ego-T; Burnt Plastic Taste Forever? ='(

    What an interesting experience this has been. I ended up finding a video on YouTube (go figure, right?) explaining a cleaning procedure involving rinsing with hot tap water and dry burning. I took apart the smelly atty and attempted this method, to no avail, as I could still distinctly smell the...

    Absolutely heart-warming. Going completely above and beyond like that for a total stranger in need... I don't even know what to say.

    Accidentally Held Button on Ego-T; Burnt Plastic Taste Forever? ='(

    So there I am, laying on my bed, talking to my girlfriend on the phone. Typical conversation. We say goodbye, and I get up to go do something on my computer. But where the hell did I put my e-cig? I look around all over the room before I see the shiny metal endcap of the battery sticking out...

    Vaping and Sexual Health

    Being new to vaping (and completely in love with it), I've been doing as much reading as possible on side effects, both good and bad, that people have experienced since switching from tobacco to e-cigarettes. Of course there are the obvious benefits such as improved lung function from the lack...

    Has It Really Been A Week Already?

    It's funny to think that here in the western world, we see e-cigarettes as less-expensive alternative to smoking, but in China, where the vast majority of these devices are coming from, cigarettes are still so cheap that these things would be an expensive switch. I suppose I can't really...

    Just Joined- My Story

    Welcome! I'm new to the whole vaping thing myself. Initially, it's a little off-putting, because besides the "smoke" and the throat hit, it doesn't seem particularly like a cigarette, which makes the thought of a permanent transition a little bothersome. Then, a few vapes later, you realize that...

    I Would Like To Have Your Babies

    Okay, so the title might be suggesting something that's sort of biologically impossible, but you get the idea. I ordered an eGo-T kit and a sampler pack from you guys a little less than two weeks ago, and it has allowed me to completely give up smoking since I received it (which was very timely...

    Has It Really Been A Week Already?

    mithrandir - I'm currently studying mechanical engineering, although recently, I've begun to doubt that it'll really satisfy me, so consider me undecided as of now. Who knows, maybe writing could be my thing. carpedebass - I've been hearing a lot of good things about the MDCC's, I'll have to...

    Has It Really Been A Week Already?

    The nightmares can be quite terrifying, I agree. I had another one the night after the Scooby Doo one where I woke up with severely aged versions of my friends and family standing over me whispering, "He's awake!" I was informed that I had been in a coma for 30 years and World War 3 had occurred...

    Thank you everyone. Here's to many more smokeless weeks and years to come! :vapor: I couldn't resist, never seen a default forum emoticon like that, haha.
