Can I ask this here/now?

[Vapoor eyes er]

That's not true at all. You can always buy an 808 to 510 adapter. They only cost $3 last time I checked.

Also, in my experience, 510 threaded stuff is far less reliable. There are often problems with the way things fit together, leaking clearos seems to be the norm, and quite frankly 95% of 510 threaded parts are just cheap Chinese made garbage. The truth is, if you're going to stick with high quality parts only, even in 510 you've only got about 5 companies to choose from.

Since he has 808 parts already, IF he wanted to look into upgrades the Halo Triton would be his best offer. Yes, it's 808 which makes it more proprietary, but being more proprietary is actually a GOOD thing. For one, everything he already has would work on a Halo battery (And Halo does have VV batteries as well). Also, Halo parts are made to work as complete systems, not just generic parts which fit other generic parts. Their batteries last longer than Ego with the same mAh ratings, their clearos fit perfectly and NEVER leak a drop, their coil designs are FAR superior to any top coil clearo you're going to find on an Ego, and everything is always made to the highest quality.

510 threading could be described as a Jack of all trades, Master of none. You can be sure that everything will screw together, but have no guarantees on quality, or even if the parts actually work once screwed together.


And then there is the other problem with 510 threading that no one likes to talk about....

https://www.google.com/#q=510+broken+threads

Been vaping for 2 1/2 years and all that time have used 510 threaded PVs and not one issue. Perhaps it's because the vast majority of vapers use 510 thus the reported failures are higher. As for the Google link you supplied- note most failures are reported by new vapers. A common problem with new vapers- over tightening accessories to the PV.

I have some 21mg patches the hospital gave me, so I'm hoping I can wear a patch and vape with 0 nicotine.

I don't know anything about the PG/VG ratios, so I'm experimenting with those - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...unt-bakor-vapor-pg-vg-blend.html#post12010423

Maybe a stupid question but why would u vape 0 and use 21mg patch instead of just vaping juice with some nic in it?

My lungs. I'm not sure where nicotine collects in the human body, but absorbing it through my skin is surely better than through my lungs - I hope.

Been keeping this blog since Dec 2008. I have a page on FB too - facebook.com/Sherry10.4Collum - would be grateful for "likes" if anyone's interested

I would but have never had a FB account. There's also another option available. Some truckers either have a larger Mod in the cab or a Pass Through. Two diff types of pass throughs:
1/ can only be used while connected to a USB or cig lighter
2/ can be vaped while charging/ connected to USB or used/ vaped without being connected to a USB or cig lighter.
Here's a couple of #1
VV PT:
USB Variable Voltage Mini Passthrough - Chrome
3.7 volt PT:
Mini eGo USB Passthrough - MyFreedomSmokes.com
Just food for though down the road if you have a problem with the battery life of the Kanger. Would also need a USB to car adapter. There are larger/ longer ones available.

I'm not familar with your brand but I'm guessing it's a cig-a-like. I started with the eblu gas station cig-a-like as well. The part that screws onto the battery is called a cartomizer and I'm guessing this is what you meant by prefilled cartridges that you are buying. Depending on how your model/brand works you may be stuck buying with the same company unless you upgrade to an ego/evod type style. But you can refill those for a cents as opposed to several dollars for a prefilled one.

Use a fork to pop off the top and then just add liquid to the cotton type filler being careful not to get any in the center hole. I use one of these Empty 10mL Needle Tip Bottle you can get them from anywhere though. I first pour my liquid into the needle tip bottle and then use the needle tip bottle to refill the cartridge/cartomizer.

I've found that you can probably reuse one of those cartridges about 5 times. They eventually go bad or start getting a burnt taste to them if you reuse them too many times. If your looking for different kinds of flavors/vendors where you can purchase your own liquid and refill these cartidges you can check this out http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...cussion/458263-3ml-cheap-sampler-bottles.html.

If that is a cig-a-like I think you might eventually want to consider upgrading to a ego/evod style batter. If it has a 510 and ego connecter 99.9% of the tanks, clearomisers, and/or cartomisers are going to fit it. Don't get me wrong the cig-a-likes serve their purpose and got me started into the ecig world. I just found that recharging those after every 20-30 puffs was getting annoying.

Also I think in the long run it's going to be cheaper for you to use something with a tank/clearomizer type setup then buying prefilled cartomisers. It's cheaper to refill them your self but it's easier and I think even cheaper to just fill up a tank.

Very cool Will definitely have to get something like this when I get back to work.

I'm sorry I missed that one. Nicotine delivery via vaping is a very inefficient delivery system because the vapor particles are too large to be absorbed via the lungs (unlike smoking). Most of the Nicotine absorption via vaping takes place in the mouth and the nasal area.
In regards to vaping and the lungs the PG is anti bacterial- used in lung operations and when it was cost efficient was used to sterilize hospitals via the air duct system. It's also the carrier agent for medicine in inhalers.

Actually with vaping you don't have to inhale with a deep lung inhalation like you would with a cig. The nic is in smaller particles in vapor and is readily absorbed by your tongue, cheeks, nasal passages, (mucas membranes). In smoke the particles are bigger and is mostly absorbed by the lungs.

Nicotine is also not a carcinogen (i.e. it doesn't cause cancer) You may also want to look into what PG and VG is. PG is used in athsma inhalers. VG is relatively safe to inhale as well but don't think there have been as many studies with it. The biggest unknown health issue lies on the flavoring not the PG/VG/Nic. The FDA has approved those flavors for consumption but not for inhalation. There's actually a study about to take place that will hopfully clear up the issue on flavorings http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/media-general-news/517858-donate-dr-farsalinos-new-study.html

I guess I personally don't care if you get your nic through the patch and your skin or through your mouth cheeks or lungs...whatever is working for keep going with that You mentioned your pocket book earlier and I just think getting it through liquid and vaping is probably going to be a lot cheaper than buying the patch? As said if you are worried about the lungs you don't need to inhale at all into the lungs to absorb the nicotine.

I hear you Mohamed, but I'm not working at the moment, so I've got to watch every penny. I'm still the highest bidder on New Genuine Kangertech Kanger Evod Starter Kit Double Set Stainless Steel | eBay - only 24 more hours to go! I really can't even afford this, but for the sake of my health....

Yea! It's getting better all the time!

The hospital gave me a couple of boxes when I was discharged. They're supposed to last 24 hours. Of course, now I owe the hospital $21K because I don't have any insurance.

Umm not sure if you noticed this or not but the wall adapter in the picture for that looks like a UK power plug and not a US power plug. So if you do win that bid you might be stuck using the USB charger or buying a UK/US adapter.

It doesn't look US, does it? I didn't notice, but I have a USB wall adapter that came with my Bull Smoke starter kit. So $20.00 would still be a good deal considering what comes with it.

Just looked again - "All our Kits are US models and come with US wall Adapter"

Well that's good at least...too bad they have an inaccurate picture though

It doesn't look US, does it? I didn't notice, but I have a USB wall adapter that came with my Bull Smoke starter kit. So $20.00 would still be a good deal considering what comes with it.

You'll want to double check with someone else on here that has more knowledge about your Bull Smoke starter kit and chargers. I know for a fact that I can only use my eblu wall charger with the eblu. I can not use that with any of my other gear. Something about blue being reverse polarity. Basically that means the "normal" positive and negative battery terminals are switched. So that will short out your battery and possibly cause it to catch on fire.

As said someone with more expertise in this area will hopefully come along and determine if Bull Smoke starter kit is one of these reverse polarities or not. I'm not even 100% sure with mine. I might be able to use my eblue wall charger with my eg as long as I plug the USB that came with ego. I guess I'm not sure if it's the eblu wall adapter that switches the polarity or if its the USB cord that came with the eblu that does the polarity switch.

To be safe I've only used that one with my eblu kit though. Someone luckily told me about the reverse polarity before I started a fire. eblu might be the only ones that do that? I think they did that so are forced to use there products. All of the ego/evod/stuff that you see on this site use the normal polarity though. But just to be on the safe side I'd wait to hear from someone before you use your Bull Smoke USB Wall Adapter with your new ego battery.

I didn't win the eBay auction, so I'm gonna go ahead and order what Painter suggested in the first place:

...When I had an 808d-1 battery I really liked the clearamizers. Lasted longer than the cartos, easier to fill, and e-Smart clearomizers - package of 5

Thanks for the link Painter - is there any way you can get credit for my order, or something? (Sent you a pm asking same)

 

[Mohamed]

I don't normally do this but in your case with your health bills etc. PM me and I'll send you my ego and usb wall charger. I only use them say 10% of the time so it's not a big deal on my end. I use my passthrough, vamo, gripper etc most of the time anyway so it's not hurting me anyway. I feel like it's time for me to help others and am glad to do so.

 

[Mohamed]

Also with with your nic patch...you can never beat free If they are giving it to you for free I would be in the same boat.
