2010/2011 vapors..what were we thinking?

[classwife]

I only messed with the filler and coffee stirrer straws for a little while (regular 510 cig alike)
Adapted to dripping quickly.

Ah...the thrill of the newly released Joye eGo !
That was some heavy mailman stalking right there !!

I could hardly get the wrapper off more or less the glue, lol. I've had Black cartos in a tank for more than a month and that wrapper still didn't loosen.
Didn't feel like coughing up the $2.50 for SS back then.

I gave up after a while and just used 'em black, too. Didn't ever notice that affecting anything.

I kinda sorta miss mailman stalking for new shinies.
All I ever buy anymore is the occasional liter of nic to add to the freezer and some flavoring. But I'm happy with what I use and don't see a good reason to spend more.

Yeah, well, that was back along. We made do with what we had...

LOL!!!!! Kinda makes me wanna dig around in the junk drawer to find my old one and fire it back up just so I can "vape old school"



*takes a good long haul off my .48 triple coil Rampage*

NAHHHHHHHH I think Ill stick to this!

You young whipper-snappers have no idea what it was like in the olden days. The CE2 with the syringe, and yes the hammer and nail carto punch.

I remember the biggest discussion was how to boil and clean cartos and was it worth it? I have to admit that I haven't had any vape gear on a cookie sheet in the oven for a good long time.

How many of you still have some homemade device for spinning cartos? Anybody still have denture cleaning tablets? Does everclear go bad...I haven't used that in awhile...may have to actually drink it. I still have some old 808 batteries...I just can't find the charger.

I finally tossed all of my old gear in the trash about a year ago. So crazy to think how much effort we had to put into vaping. Now I hardly think about anything but firing it up, charging batteries every other day, and filling tanks once daily. Sometimes it's hard to believe I stuck through all the ancient devices, but I'm sure glad I did.

We were determined is the best assessment I have , I started when the EGO was just coming out....went through allot of atties. then the cartos(hot stuff on a 650 Ego)..........then I personally went through a rough patch looking for a decent clearo, finally settled on the innokin 30s........still use carto tanks with my ZMax's as well as Kanger Subtanks on my box mods( tried all the protanks, genitanks,mega, etc, until kanger finally got it right )....wasted allot of juice, burnt my throat many times, a few thousand dollars and 5 years later Vaping is much ,much easier.........we stuck it out because the alternative was to go back to smoking............not a chance

Well said! It does make you wonder though. As far as vaping has come in such a short time...whats next?

 

[zoiDman]

we have come a long way!

I got so fed up with vape gear failing me, I bought a Provari. Still have it packed away and always will. Thanks for the memories.

I ran across my homemade Taryn Spinner recently, when I was going through a drawer. I also found a couple boxes of 'original' V2 Menthol cartomizers. CE2s? I used those for a long time. I also remember making 'ghetto tanks' from 30ml syringe tubes.

I remember a supplier (V4L?) rigged up a food processor to spin dry 808's. Think it was $40!

My limited time cleaning taught me that you can clean the filler, but not the coil.

 

[tj99959]

Ha-yes, life's biggest problem finally solved.

 

[r77r7r]

Lol, I think I can bring myself to throw out my saddlevalve now. Not great memories. I ended up using MarkFM's version and works great. Might get me one of those Smoketech carto-punchers now that the prices are better.

I briefly attempted cleaning and drying cartos, as many others did. I was never very successful. The best quote I remember someone on the V2 Forum saying at the time was: "Cleaning a cartomizer is like washing a pillow".
