Puffing on some 18mg Palm Tree Smoothie today! Delicious as always!
I am the same way about babying my stuff....I hate it when it goes wonky....I use a regular AAA battery charger with regular batteries and sometimes it does the same thing....I have to adjust the points to make full contact...Did you check your batteries with an OHM meter? With some of my first ones for my original modbox were just awful at holding a charge...One battery is pretty much brand new and the other is older. I am using one of the batteries right now and it seems fully charged. My problem is the charger will not turn green when they are fully charged. I totally forgot about this; A while back my charger was doing this same thing, so I cleaned it really good and slightly lifted the pin. I keep my contacts on my charger and batteries pretty clean, but I went a head and cleaned them all again yesterday. I just wonder if it is getting worn out. I have used it everyday sonce november no less than once a day. Maybe I should slightly lift the pins on my batteries? I have a tendency of rolling a papertowel up and twisting it into the batteries, not hard or anything, but I guess it could possibly push the pin down after it is done quite a few timesI baby my stuff so I just hate when something gives me problems! Lol

The pin is pretty immobile on both counts I think. Ego style batteries I have never seen float though I suppose there's ones that might and pins on attys are generally adjustable by screw or in the case of standard tanks you might be able to adjust the pin out of the rubber grommet but usually screwing it on the battery pushes it back in. Idk...show me your charger, I suspect I have a spare.One battery is pretty much brand new and the other is older. I am using one of the batteries right now and it seems fully charged.

Well. That was, as trips almost exactly halfway around the world go, rather uneventful!
Fly to Thailand, dogs, luggage (with Vamo, MVP2, Spinner, eGo sticks, two Aeros, three Evods, spare heads, and about 100mL of liquid) and mental state (in descending order of importance) intact - check.
Cancel cellular service - check, after much wailing, gnashing of teeth, rending of hair, arguing with disembodied 'customer support' drones, and finally paying the damn early termination fee to just be RID of this horrible company which shall remain nameless but rhymes with 'hay, tea and tea' - CHECK.
Reestablish internet connectivity - check.
Settle into new digs, learn immediate neighborhood - check(ish). Still have to sample the street food carts, but it's not a bad place to live. Loud. But good food nearby, good shopping nearby, easy access to some surprisingly world-class public transport. Haven't found anything I'll have a hard time purchasing on the local economy....other than vape gear and liquid. There are supposedly some B&M vendors with stocks 'in the back,' but I'm not at that point yet. If my main shipment of liquids (1.2 Liters total) takes too long or (heaven forbid) is seized, then it's onto the local economy and hope for the best.
Test a few vendors for APO compatibility and ability/willingness to engage in creative customs form labeling - next step.
How's things back in 'Murica?
Well, it looks like I need to get another charger for my smoktech 900mah batteries (510/ego threaded batteries). I had to get 1 anyways, because I am going to start my oldest sister vaping, but now that mine is not charging properly I have to get 2! Lol I have had this one since around November 2013, and have used it daily. So, it has lasted a long time without any problems. It turns red when I twist it on the batteries, but it will not turn green saying if it is charged. It is charging, but not fully. Anything I should try guys?
I went in to Mad Town Vape's B&M location today and was met by the sweetest woman. I apologize as I forgot her name (Kathy?). She was awesome and walked me through all of the different flavors. I tried almost every single one and learned a lot about what I do and don't like in a liquid (how can people like ry4?!). I was there for a good while and not once did I feel unwelcome.
Both her and Dino were extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. I ended up picking up 4 15mL flavors, a Pro Tank 2 mini and some coils for <$40! That is a totally unheard of deal anywhere in Madison! I will most definitely be coming back when I need some wick and kanthal wire (30 ft for $3.99!) or tasty tasty juice. If you get in some eGo->510 adapters I would definitely pick up one of those too!
As sparse as the store currently is as it was only recently opened the items they do have are all top notch! The mech mod he showed earlier looks even better in person if a bit sharp around the edges.
My only complaint is that the address and hours aren't prominently displayed on the site. It'd be nice if that was at a glance somewhere.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!
Pineapple Upside-down Cake is GREAT!!! Very true to taste. I can even taste the caramelized sugar on top!!! SWEEEEEEEEET!![]()
Thank You, Dino!

So glad you made it to your destination somewhat intact! Being a foodie myself, I can NOT wait to hear about your eating escapades! (And maybe some more juice reviews as well? pweeeze?) Have fun my man! 'Murica will be waiting for your return!

For real? I do need 2 to be honestI have a bag of them just laying around. Made by Kanger. I was sent them by mistake. Let me know if you need some ducky
Sounds like a new beginning and a lot of fun for you. Are you able to mix with the crowd or do you stand out like a sore thumb? I bet the food is pretty good. Please tell us more as time goes on, I find it very interesting. I have been shipping to a few soldiers in different countries so ordering through us shouldn't be an issue. Hope you stay safe.

I've always wondered how traveling with vape gear is. I fear they will think them explosive devices LOL.
For real? I do need 2 to be honestI am going to give my oldedt sister everything she needs to get started vaping! I am super excited! The only thing i am missing to get her started is the charger. With my charger acting up , I need yo get two now.....lol I do not want you to feel like you have to
I appreciate that! You really go above and beyond for a vendor
thank you

can someone please explain how to top fill the 3.1 clone ? ... I've overfilled it 3 times now
I don't want to use a syringe ... Dino said he fills from the top ... I just don't know how to do it, without a mess
once enough leaks out the breather, or I empty some, the clone works fine ... very good taste
it is, as Dino said it would be, a slightly better, more intense flavor than using a Kanger Aerotank Mega
still, very similar in flavor ... the trade off for me is simplicity, ease of filling ... the q-tip technique allows me to fill the mega almost completely full, it looks full when upright ... q-tip thru the drip tip hole, fill 'er up, screwing in the base pushes out the q-tip, no leaks at all
I've no prob building coils, my first was 28 ga at 1.7, then a 26 ga at 1.1, using rayon, vaped great after it finished leaking
any help would be appreciated
