    Chybrid iHybrid Clone tip for 18650

    Just wanted to throw this out there. The iHybrid clone one might find on Fasttech only takes 18350 batteries but if you have a VamoV2 ( I can't comment on the other Vamos) then you have the bottom extension piece that the cap screws on to. That extension screws right into the bottom of the...

    DID/CHID Custom Atomizer

    So, out of boredom, I created an atomizer out of my old DID clone. I basically removed the center tube and the chrome tank altogether. Then, using epoxy and stainless steel dowels, drilled through the top deck piece and the bottom deck (the part with the 510 connector on it) twice - once through...

    Ego-T 900 MAH Voltage issue

    So I just received 20, 900mah ego-t batteries and right off the bat I felt that it wasn't pushing the usual voltage. I metered it at 3.2,3.3 volts. Clearly too low for a fully charged battery. So I tested 3 more and the results were the same. Anyone experience this? I will add that I've bought...

    Genesis Air Shapes/Patterns

    We all know how important the airhole placement is on a genesis. It means the difference between a lot of vapor and almost none. I've had a few genesis attys namely the Phoenix, DID mini and AGA-T. It's clear to me that the shape or path the air takes is center to things like flavor, throat hit...

    Smoktech Telescope Button getting hot?

    As the title says, the button just started getting hot and I can't find any place that it might be shorting. Anyone have this issue or have a suggestion as to what might be causing it?

    YAMT (Yet Another Mesh Thread) And how i make m ine.

    So, I've recently had excellent results with a method I use to roll wick for my AGA-T and I thought I'd share it. Firstly, the consensus is that SS mesh doesn't actually wick from tank to coil. It does pull some up, and if *really* well used and impregnated with carbon, etc then I assume it...

    VP2-BB Draining batteries

    As the title suggests, it seems that merely putting a battery in the thing and screwing in the cap, will render the battery dead within hours. This is with any atty/carto combo. It's such a simple mod, I realize there isn't a lot of troubleshooting but wondered if anyone had the same issue...

    Sour percentage

    Is 5% reasonable for sour in a recipe or is the stuff so strong that, that would be too much?

    3.7v Mechanical non-bottom button mod

    What are some good mods that aren't VV, are 3.7v and aren't bottom button. Bottom on the side like the GG is fine but I don't really care for the bottom button. I've only ever used a bottom button once so maybe I'd change my mind with a good one? Anyway, list away....:)

    Nicest mods list

    So, I'm in the position to buy a really nice mod. I don't really want to spend over $160 or so, so Zen's are out. I use rebuildables mainly and would like a hybrid but a hybrid isn't necessary. I typically use a 3.7 mechanical mod as I hear regulated mods can have issues with 1ohm or lower...

    Phoenix tips

    I know that the phoenix has taken a back seat to many of the new, cheap rebuildables out right now such as the DID and it's inexpensive clones but I still use the phoenix.I have come to some sort of mastery of the thing, I think, of which I would like to share my tips and my process for setting...

    Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer battery usage

    So I got my phoenix the other day and it's been going through 2 or more 18650s a day whereas with a 1.7 boge carto it will last most of the day. I figured out how to test the ohms of the coil and was getting 1.2 ohms and some folks suggested that was probably the problem. I made a new coil...

    Interesting Switches

    The switches here: http://adafruit.com/category/35_72 They are rated at 3 Amp 250v. Is that adequate for a mod switch? They're super cool if a bit deep.

    Customized Bolt

    Nothing major to speak of but since I stripped the red paint off of it and modified the button to have a metal insert and shorter travel, it looks *so* much better. It feels like an entirely new mod and an altogether more expensive mod now. I haven't taken any sandpaper to it yet, nor polished...

    Good god I'm tired of these flavors....

    I've had these 2 juices for a week or more now and OMG I'm tired of them. I can't actually even taste them at all. Even if I wait 30 mins or so between vapes its just warm vapor with no flavor whatsoever. I'm assuming this is normal? I have more liquid on the way but right this minute I don't...

    Lake City - Live Oak Anyone?

    I realize that Live Oak/ Lake City is a hole in the wall but I can't imagine I'm the only one here that vapes. I did meet someone at my work, a customer, that vapes and know more have to be out there. Let's see if there's enough support to start a vape meet.

    Is it more about the voltage or the mod?

    Ok so the bottom line is as long as the device puts out X watts, that's all that matters, yes? Granted the physiology of the connector (airflow, etc) can effect it, in the end it's all about the attachments. Everyone is like, "this mod vapes like a beast" but couldn't any hole in the wall with a...

    Where to go from here...

    Ok so I've had a Bolt for almost a month now, vaping 1.5/7 dual coil carto's and tanks. I do have a regular Joye 510 Atty that I've been using since my other cartys died but I've only been using it at 3.7 volts. I really want to go to higher voltages. Due to wallet constraints, I'm going to be...

    Crystal Clear Vaping

    Hey guys, so I thought I'd share my experiences with Crystal Clear Vaping and an issue I had with myBolt mod. The Bolt is my first real mod. I vaped about 2 years ago when my wife and I got some Joye510's and some juice. I wasn't really satisfied with them as the vapor production was just too...
