    Trying hard not to cry..

    I lost my Ego-C USB mod last year in the fall while gardening. It fell out of my pocket, and landed in the garden, and I searched for it for weeks. It wasn't until all of the rain, snow, melt, snow, melt, snow, melt, rain, and finally pulling out all the dead plants this spring, that I found...

    You sir, have given me an idea... I have 3 cases from WD Passport Hard Drives and with a little modding and some resin casting, I plan to do something just like this. Very nice work... now I just need to know how much you spent on everything. LOL

    How come i can't get 5volts out of my laptop for pt

    Some manufacturers, like Toshiba, put a purpose built USB-Power port on their laptops that produce a full 5v whether the computer is on or off. Usually my phone is plugged into that port, but I do notice a difference from the other USB ports on the computer when using a passthrough. If your...

    VapeFest 2012 Chicago (worth going?)

    I'm going, but I live an hour and a half away, so I only have admission and fuel expenses... I wouldn't drive 20+ hours for a vape fest unless I was a vendor... There will be another one near you soon enough. =)

    Terrible chemically taste in mouth and I smell weird. HELP!!

    I've had this as well. I found that my tonsils hold a few nasty pockets of rotting food, and because you no longer smoke, now you can taste and smell those pockets of what basically amounts to solid balls of puss. If you have your tonsils still, you can look in your mouth in a well lit mirror...

    Capacitor Box Mod????

    it actually IS possible to use a capacitor to power a mod, but the problem is you'd have to have something like this... Absolute CAP350R Digital Power 3.5 Farad Car Capacitor That thing is about a foot long and 4" in diameter, so not really anything close to portable... Plus it's 12v. If...

    Request for design. Vapor Hookah!!!!

    I know this is a dead thread, but I wanted to debunk some of the notions about vaping through a hookah, and make some suggestions for people (who have a ton of juice) to try. I picked this thread to reply because there was a lot of misinformation in it, I wanted to clear it up, and it was the...

    New member in Ottawa, can't post anywhere but here. Sucks. Brick and mortar shops in Ottawa?

    Welcome to the forums! Just make sure your posts contain more than just fluff... Bumps and Hi's don't count for your post count. But anyway... I hope you find a Vape Shop in your area... there's none anywhere near me, and it makes me want to start my own Vaping Lounge. =)

    Here a Puff, there a Puff, everywhere a Puff, Puff.

    They do... Johnson Creek sells a bacon flavor that literally tastes like smoked bacon.... it is truly awesome. I vaped it for breakfast the other day, and it was "filling". =)

    Day #2.5. I keep on buying new kits and getting discouraged!

    When I started with a 510, I figured out quickly that you have to "prime" the atty, by taking a short quick draw right after you push the button, then a slow and steady full lung hit, rather than a cheek-draw like you would with a cigarette. You'll probably cough a few times if you do it right...

    Something new happened to me today

    Even when I was a regular smoker, the smell and thickness of second hand smoke in bars would get me sick unless I smoked too. So when I was quit for a while, and went out to the bar before the statewide ban in Wisconsin, I would get totally sick to my stomach as soon as I walked in, but if I...

    New to vaping, bought a blu starter kit from walgreens, encountering difficulties.

    I also started on a Blu, and it didn't last very long for me from the get-go. I shared those things with ALL my friends, getting all the smokers to try vaping, and a few of them enjoyed it, and everyone thought it was cool, but it was just not a good enough replacement for analogs. My gf at...

    LED questions for building mods...

    My box mod was done with a 2v 80ma green 5mm LED and a 470ohm resistor from radio shack... the instructions I had were to use a 500ohm, but the Shack didn't have any. 55ohm may not be enough for your LEDs.

    charging batts with computer

    Unless your computer has a dedicated USB port for electronics charging (my Portege has one that is designed for charging stuff) you shouldn't use your computer to charge anything except your cell phone... Also, yes, MOST computer USB ports output 5v at 500mAh, so even your phone might not...

    What does your mod remind you of?

    The box mod I just built, one of my friends said looks like one of those breathalyzers they put in cars for repeat offense drunk drivers... So yeah, I definitely have plans for an aesthetically pleasing custom mod soon. =)

    questions on glue

    Aquarium Silicone is ok for sealing your electrical connections, but not for bonding pieces. If you're having issues with super/krazy/instant glue, you need to sand the surfaces to be glued a little just to rough it up, before gluing the parts together. Modeling glue I think is the best for...
