Are you posting directly into the reply box? That's what I do. I had problems with the image function in the bar.

I've been using the image function, just like every other forum I've been on. Guess I should try directly to the reply box.

Do you wrap the URL in img tags? Like [img ] URL here [\img ] without the spaces.

I'll try it tomorrow so the OP can see what my 450 mah egos look like and you can see the lipless ego rings from fasttech.

Evolv3, I would like to mention something about the f15, I have a few that I got from Vapelite (it's been a great site, great prices and fast shipping. Most all of my tanks are from him and I do have very, very many of them. My taste buds have ADD). There isn't a flange on the bottom of the f15 cartos, so say you have a tip that fits on tightly and you go to pull it out, the carto will pull out of the tank, juice everywhere. I also wanted small tanks. If I may make a suggestion, the f17s are a lil bit taller but there's a flange so the whole carto doesn't pull out of the tank when you pull off your drip tips. Of course if you leave the tank on the battery you wouldn't have to worry about it.
That price is for the tank and the carto, they do sell replacement cartos.
And yes, you can change the drip tips, 510.
If you do need a sleeve for the ego it would image D that Ocelot posted. She's a smart and helpful cat, that one. ;)
But I have to say it again, the f17s are awesome! They are polycarbonate so they will crack with volatile juices. I recently got one of the 19mm IBTanked tanks for my lemon Vape (for when I'm drinking beer. :D)
Hope that may have been helpful. Good luck! :)

If you really want to stealth vape follow these instructions.

1. Get a drink cup from a fast food restaurant, some short pieces of elastic bands and some "bendy" straws the same diameter as a drip tip.
2. Place your PV into the cup with the button pressed up against the side.
3. Make a hole in the side of the cup just large enough for the button to be pressed.
4. Glue the elastic bands to the cup sides so that they can hold the PV in place. It also helps to then fill the cup with paper towels or other filler.
5. If your button lights up put a small piece of black tape over the hole to hide the light. Make sure you can still press the button.
6. Put the short end of the bendy straw into the tank/carto or whatever like an extra long drip tip.
7. Place the lid on the cup with the straw poking out.

I think how to use this should be pretty self explanatory. No one is going to question you sucking on a straw from a McDonalds cup. Just be careful about blowing the vapor and you are all good. If someone does see the vapor and glares at you, just remark to yourself: "Damn this drink is so cold I can see my breath."

Enjoy. :D

HEHE....that's sounds similar to trying to hide something else when I was younger....too funny!! Not trying to be that sneaky but I will remember just incase I ever need to be :D. Just concerned about fitting In pocket without looking like im hiding a light saber or roll of quarters in there. Thanks everyone for the awesome info. Will definitely look into each and repost once I make a decision as I get some more time tonight/tomorrow.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if you're kicking a heavy habit, stealth vaping calls for some heavy hitters especially if you're always mobile so I got myself a variable voltage reo grand and some 1.7ohm mini cartomizers from reosmods.com top it off with a matching polished steel shorty drip tip from empiremods.com and you're good to go. Profile is size of a pack of marlboro lights 100, practical, and can take a lickin' (we call that building character). Since VV Reos are protected, you don't need a fuse or a kick, just a couple 18350s the same my provari mini uses.Here's my VVG in action when I was walking in the park with my boo, see even offline I keep thinking 'bout you lil vapers who live inside my iPad!



*a bottom feeding box mod is a PV battery holder in the shape of a box. It contains the battery and an internal "tank" with an extended juice tip that when pressed by the user, sends an amount of juice up to the dripping atomizer. Instead of the usual ritual of hand dripping a few drops of juice into an atomizer, the bottom feeder box mod allows a more convenient method of "dripping" that can be done anywhere. No wicking materials to clog like a carto or string-wicked device like a clearomizer or vivi nova.

The most popular mod is the Reo box mod. http://www.reosmods.com/

What I've heard are juices that are citrus based, cinnamon, stronger mints, colas, creamy flavors and banana, I Vape banana cream pie from Vape dudes all the time and haven't had a problem.
My friend shattered a tank with wintergreen. My boyfriend shattered tanks with cola and root beer.
Also, I think I saw a thread a while back that people were listing juices that they had problems with cracking tanks, somewhere on here.
Here's a pic of a f15 and a f17 on a 450 mah battery, so you can see the size difference. :)

Sorry about the pic being sideways. My iPad or this site doesn't always wanna cooperate with me.

Since Lucy showed the exact tanks you are looking at I'll just add some pics of the 450 with an Evod and one with a Pro DCT tank. The reason I chose the Pro DCT is because it's made out of Polypropylene which isn't effected like the standard plastic tanks (poly carbonate) with tough juices.



...and here is the different size D rings to cover the ego threading. The left one is the standard one with the lip on top and the right one is from Fasttech with no lip on the top edge. Both have air slots on top.



My tablet takes pretty poor pictures, but at least it's something. :toast:

ETA- Hey the pics worked! Thanks Ocelot!

Lol at vape porn. Thanks for the tip Pat. However, I tried that switch on the side, it's the ringer? I think I would have to go to the general setting to get the screen to be fixed. Too lazy. Lol. So sorry peeps, pics from me may be to their sides or upside down. However, once in a while they will be right side up.
More Vape porn comin' at ya. Let's see if I'm lucky this time...

The only polypros I have are from big daddy but they are on the pricey side like 50 bucks a tank Big Daddy 5ml Tanks & Tubes : Big Daddy Vapor but their customer serviceis very noob friendly, I chatted with the misses through email many nights answering questions and giving me advice on voltages and ohms and cartos and stuff

Hey Skidoo, where did you get your polypropylene tanks? A while back I tried to find some, I could only find them on the health cabin site, in China. I did order them and they sent me an email saying they couldn't ship without it costing $12 to ship (the same amount of the 3 tanks I ordered), I passed.

I have 5 from myvaporstore. Pro DCTank Tube (well 4 now, because I ate crap on my bike with one in my pocket and the tube got a little crack in it, glad it wasn't glass though). They're a little spendy, but I've had zero problems with citrus and cinnamon juice in these. One less thing for me to think about or worry about.

I also have a couple tanks coming from Fasttech that looked cloudy in the pictures like my polypropylene tanks, but they have yet to get to me. It doesn't say they are polypro in the description, but if they are I'll be stoked.
