Awesome! Let us know how you like it!

If you have an adapter, I'd also be curious to know how they work on your Volt batteries.

Will do. GotVapes was sold out of adapters, so I'm searching for one now with cheap shipping. If anyone knows of a good source, let me know.

that's why I was hoping somebody better with words than I could offer a better constructed reply. As much as it could go down to "harm reduction", those 4000+ chemicals aren't in the flavorings and all, I'm sure it will come up often enough in certain circles to prompt a more in-depth study.

I thought your reply was very good. :)

The only way I was able to get stuff (tanks) to work on the Darwin was with the flexible extension from Twisted. Best tank system I've used so far has been the GP SSR. Easy to change out CE2s, adjustable air draw, very little if any leak. My only gripe is on the tubing, it's a flexible soft plastic as opposed to something with more rigidity.

The sapphire "tank" looks more like a cartomizer. Still, you make a good point about its circumference. It would be a pain to have to remove it any time I wanted to turn off the Darwin.

The last thing I need right now is another PV. :)

Please let us know what you think about them.

I needed it like I need another hole in my head. Oh well... I was looking for something else for my husband. Maybe this will be it, if he can get past the button. Of course I also have the GoGo, so I could have given that to him to try. Maybe I just have a pv problem, I "need" them all. :facepalm:

He still doing well with the e-cig? A new toy couldn't hurt. I bought several at first which seemed to help me through the rough days. Not that any were all that rough. But it made it even more fun.

Maybe it's because I started with an auto (it sucked) but I'm not sure why so many are hung up on pressing a button. blu is so freakin' sensitive. It goes off if you open the PCC, pick it up, look at it funny or curse its name...

I can't wait for someone to post an easy and effective way to clean the sapphire. At $3.50 a pop, it's a whole lot less disposable to me than my $1.50 cartos.

Do you currently clean and refill cartos? Which cartos do you use? How many refills do you get out of them before they die or you toss them?

They call it a "hybrid"; it's similar to a bottom-coil cartomizer, with an integrated atomizer that is similar to the Ego-T or 510-T. It looks to be the same diameter as conventional cartos.

The "tank" designation has gotten a bit confused; it refers both to the big homemade "tanks" that use CE2 internals with a larger ruggedized "tube", as well as the Ego-T/510-T style tanks.

The Vision is just a commercial "Big Tank"; it uses a CE2-style engine with a larger, more rugged clear tube.

I wouldn't say he's doing well. He's barely gotten out of the gate. He didn't love the tobacco like I was sure he would. But the Hunters Blend was better than the BacKo. I had him try about 8 of my flavors and he picked VelvetVapor's cherry, and VR caramelized cappuccino. So I ordered those in a higher nic content for him, which in hind sight might have been a mistake, right now the 24mg is making him cough. I also ordered VR Cherrywood. So the search and saga continues. Maybe once his current carton is gone.

I don't clean cartos (anymore). I refill them until I don't get a good flavor from them and I toss em. I use horizontal coil cartos on my 808 autos. The GoGo's are also horizontal coil, but I barely use that anymore and if I do mostly I use it with an 808 adapter. I hate the bigger cartos, 3ml is too much of a commitment for me with new flavors and once I have a small carto started I don't want to waste that and fill the GoGo's.

I'm sure you guys can find a combination that works well for him. We're all rooting for you for sure.

you really want me to not respond to katiem phonedude? she makes it quite difficult. She's really good at what she does.... <sigh>

That's entirely up to you.

Would I? Absolutely not. I would show her that her opinion on anything is not worth a reply. That she is extremely insignificant.

But that's just me. :)

(having her on ignore dosn't hurt either LOL)

I think she must have gotten scolded (finally!), she's really toned down her responses. She really needs to stop with the "nicotine is poison and causes damage" crap; it isn't, and doesn't in the amounts we use.

Perhaps she doesn't realize that nicotine gum is one of the worst methods of NRT, because it is so easy to overdose repeatedly simply by chewing too fast.

I use a AFSv2 on mine and never turn the Darwin off till I go to bed. Still get two full days of use before I need to re-charge.

I can't have her on ignore! Her posts are so interesting and informative, and I'm an ecig user, so you know I must be weak! :laugh:
