    Looking for a new good Carto to use.

    Yes there are other options that work just as well.. i had the same issue, and when i can't get the resurrectors i found that the Smok dual coil 1.5 or 2.0 ohm double punched and plated cartos work just as well.. atleast the draw is the same and the amount of flavor and vapor produced is about...

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    Your right Topwater and Baditude, I think i was thinking of the kinoko 18500's.. The 14500's are much less than that.. I just edited it so as not to confuse anyone else, including myself any further lol

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    one reason i stress buying from a quality UL-listed and approved manufacturer.. they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and most likely millions of $ testing cells to point of failure..and designing the perforations to allow the cell to vent properly should it hard short or have a...

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    They don't have to be li-mn..theres a big misunderstanding that li-mn cells are safe.. they are marketed as 'safe chemistry'..bvut by no means safe.. They are said to be safe chemistry due to li-mn cells being able to get a bit hotter than older cobalt based lithium cells before they go into...

    what tank should i use? with innokin MVP 3.0

    eesti, that's where your going to run into an issue.. everyone wants a ton of vapor, but the most throathit and flavor..but you can't have it that way.. VG gives you dense vapor, but doesn't carry flavor well and doesn't give throathit.. PG gives throathit and carries flavor well, but does not...

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    Panasonic and Sanyo both make 14500's and 18490/18500's Panasonic makes 18350's AW has never manufactured cells, never, not once.. His name is Andrew, he buys cores and rewraps them, puts his initials on them and sells them.. I don't bother with AW's for a number of reasons.. I know what...

    El Cheapo 510 tank stand

    I hate to wake up an old thread, but I'll add my idea. I went to the local hardware store, into the flooring section and bought some nice flooring samples.. the good stuff is usually 1/2"+ thick and felt backed.. You can get just about any type of wood you like or even solid colors(brown/...

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    As for the AW batteries.. AW has never manufactured lithium batteries.. they only buy cores and rewrap them.. Not all lithium cells are made in Japan, Sony,Samsung,Sanyo,Panasonic and LG all have plants in China. Illumn does performance testing on all their cells as well, without rewrapping...

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    There are no true 2000mah 14500's. The specs are exaggerated.. stay away from them at all costs. You'll want to stick with a UL listed quality cell made by one of the big 5 manufacturers.. Panasonic/Sanyo/LG/Sony/Samsung etc.. Everything else you see is either a rewrapped cell Example...

    I need help

    Yep, o-rings should solve your problem. If you continue to have problems and get fed up..just spend the money and buy a nice IBTanked setup, their about the best bang for the buck. There are other really nice carto tanks but they start getting really spendy. Another option, you can find the...

    Need advice on buying a cartomizer tank please !

    I have been a carto tank user for wow, a little over 6 years now.. I use other things, but primarily carto tanks.. pretty fuss free and hold an impressive amount of juice. You're right in thinking they are pretty much leak-free. One exception to that is if the tank comes apart/carto slips out or...

    Li ion and Li MN batteries

    Just an FYI, AW are rewraps of other cores.. 90% of the time they are Panasonic and sometimes Sanyo cells..then marked up..They just wear Andrews initials (AW)..I'm not saying they aren't good cells..they are..I just won't pay an extra 40% or more for a rewrapped cell. Check here..these guys...

    Aspire Natilus Tank, always tastes burnt, why?

    Ah ok, so, either your wattage/voltage is too high, or your airflow needs adjusted because your not pulling enough juice into the coils...simple wicking issue. With bottom coil tanks, its not just gravity that keeps them supplied with juice..they need the proper amount of vacuum when you drag to...

    Does this mod exist? Round, 18650, 25 watt (fixed is ok), SMALL

    Heres the deal..i think alot of us did this.. when we started vaping we all wanted something small or discreet. But, then we spent a fortune on disposable items..egos and the like. Until we finally became so frustrated and sick of throwing cash into the wind that we just said F it and bought...
