Hello everyone, I am new to vaping, and have been doing so, for about a month now. I was wondering a couple things, does anyone have any tips or tricks on mixing your own e juice? I am very interested in mixing my own. I have never mixed e juice before. Also I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get on the list for a hellfire mega or a hellfire of some sort. I looked at the DID but I wasn't as impressed as I was with the Hellfire, especially since I like to see how much fluid is left.

Welcome to ECF Mixing your own juice isn't rocket science , But you might want to wait until you have a bit more experience in the vaping scene . There are juice calculators out there (free) that will tell you how many drops of this and how of that , etc pretty straight forward . I assume your still using some percentage of nicotine . So you need to get juices PG/VG some % of nicotine juice and some flavorings . As for the list for Hellfires , good luck with that . Find out what vendor sells them , and ask them to notify you when their back in stock . But right now they seem to be on lots of people's wish lists , so it may be extra hard getting your hands on one . Good Luck .

Can't answer yours but because this is a general vaping questions-thread I thought I would sneak my own question in here too :). I'm a first time vapor, got my volt in 3 days ago (perfect shipping 2 Belgium!) but there just isn't coming a lot of vapor out. tried the other battery and a new cartridge but theirs a shockingly difference in the amount of smoke out of mine and those in reviews on youtube. Maybe this is normal for a electronic cigarette, but as a chain smoker I do miss the vapor. Thank you in advance :)

Another thing that I was curious about, I have an ego battery right now and I want to upgrade to a mod bat?? So I can change the voltage when vaping for better throat hit, flavor, and vapor. Any suggestions for a good mod to go with, I have a local store where I live in Idaho, and they only have one mod available called the Wraith. Any suggestions would be great, the local store that I go to has a website that you can see the mod they sell its vapoligy.com

If your interested in variable voltage you might want to try the Ego Twist - cheap and it works.

If you don't mind a bigger money layout, try the Apollo VTube - great mod, great customer service, plus a warrenty.

just my :2c: from what I've heards....

That mod would be fine, but you can get the same thing at Apollo. It's called the VTube, and it's alittle bit cheaper. There's no shipping charge, and it has a one year warrenty. It's a great device!!

Apollo also still has the 30% discount with the code vtube30 making the vtube kit about $53 more for the ss or chrome. You will pay that for a couple of twist batteries, big difference is when a twist battery dies you have to buy a new twist, when a battery for the vtube dies you just buy the battery. $10 for a high end battery for the vtube vers $20 for the twist adds up over time.

You don't mention what ohm resistance on your atty, or carto , or what juice your vaping . On a lower voltage device , try using a low resistant atty/carto . And PG doesn't produce as much vapor as VG , so look at what % of each your using . Remember higher PG = more flavor and throat hit . VG = more vapor and less flavor . It's also usually thicker , so doesn't wick as well in carto's , unless you thin it down a little . You can use distilled water or vodka , but only a few drops at a time . You don't want to lose all your flavor by going too thin .

Very true on the cost of battery replacement . Something to think about , for the long run .

Do you mean the Smokeless Image Volt? Mine works a charm. Lots of vapour. Did you charge the batteries before using them to get them to full charge? You need to charge them about 4 hours first time before using them. Also - if you aren't getting much out then it sounds more like its the cartidges. Dont screw them on too loose, or too tight. What flavour are you vaping?

Once you reach 5 posts on here, you can go over to the Smokeless Image section of the site and ask in there. They have a few staff members that monitor the site regularly. Just don't make empty posts to add up to 5. :) The moderators don't like that. So chit chat a little for 3 more posts.

Tell us more about yourself or something like that. Helps get the post count up early on. :)
