[DNCMenteer]

This is what I love to see. People helping out others. If he were in Houston, I'd get a couple of spare attys to him in a heartbeat. This is what makes this Forum great.

Let me know if you find any forum members in the hawaii area....tought to get ANYTHING out here....

i tend to vape alot...imo...i like the manual batts, and find that if i dont get decent throat hit and vapor i tend to *crave a cig*....looks are as important as a screen door on a spaceship....i just dont care....definatly not made of money due to the fact that im active duty military with wife and kid....sooo i guess to simplify...
good vapor @ throat hit...
long batt life/ or cheap batteries
looks like (insert anything here)
fairly inexspensive startup @ replacements.....
Any ideas?....i feel like im asking for everything while offering nothing! lol

One of the heavy duty mods seems to fit your needs. Problem is, they're expensive. If you have a small place to work, check out the Battery Mods forum, and read up on the Nicostick. It's a good little mod you can build yourself for less than 5 bucks. Batteries are about 3 bucks. I just built one on my kitchen table for my RN4081 atomizers. I'm just waiting for the batteries to come.

Personally, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get a second, different model of e-cig until I had been vaping for awhile. Frankly, it takes awhile to get used to vaping in general, and I think it makes good sense to stick with one model and figure out what you like and don't like about it . . . then you're in a much better position to pick a second model.

Unless you really dislike your current model, I'd make sure I had 3 extra atomizers on hand for that model (that is 3 in addition to the one you're using), and some extra batteries (minimum 3 total). I'd do that before branching out to a different model.

But, of course, if you really don't like what you have, then by all means try another model. My point is that when you're first starting off, I think it's enough to get used to vaping in general and your particular model in specific . . . and then start figuring out what you want to add to your arsenal.

But advice is worth exactly what you pay for it . . . and mine is free.

Thank you for your advice Julie, i have basically all the spares you recommend for my 510....and i absolutly love my 510....i was just posing a question about what a good spare would be.....but really, your advice will be helpful to anyone who listens!

I think I know the answer to this but my atomizer wont heat up. I thought perhaps I just needed a fresh battery but aftet putting a new battery on it still wont heat up. Is it dead? Please say no! I don't
have a spare. I tried to order one the other day but they were out of stock and they are supposed to e-mail me when they're available. This is for the RN-4081

We're neighbors. Check your PM. I may have what you want - the reason I'm vaping a 510

I was just in Genoa yesterday to Jan's Tent sale, then ate at Star and Lil's.

I save everything! The 4081 is my favorite. I took one of my dead 4081 batteries, and cut it with a tubing cutter at about 1 inch. I used it for the atomizer connection. Re-soldered the wires to the switch.(be careful of the rubber center button mount) I made the hole a bit tight, and pushed the butchered battery connector end in so it stuck out about 1/8 inch, and put a dab of crazy glue on it. I just screw my attys into it.

If you go to the Battery Mod Section, I just posted A picture of the Nicostick style passthrough I just made. You can see the battery connector in the picture.

The Thread is "Nicostick Passthrough - Thanks Nicowolf"

As soon as I got my first device, I knew it was the only thing I had ever found that could get me off the analogs. Right away, I wanted to make absolutely sure that I was never in a position where I ran out of anything under any circumstances.

I know it's over the top but the following makes me "feel safe":-

• At least 5 (preferably 10) working 901 atomisers and batteries and a manual Passthrough.
• At least 5 (preferably 10) working 510 atomisers and batteries and 2 PCCs, and a manual passthrough.
• Spare USB and mains chargers for everything.
• Couple of hundred mls of juice.

I am hoping to purchase my first high-power device in the near future and I think then I might need a little less of all the other stuff around me.

I am sure I am not the only one who likes to be prepared?
Or maybe I am and I need to call a psych.....

 

[DNCMenteer]

wow jim that passthrough looks awesome....anychance you could make one for the 510?????? id love to take it off your hands

Are you my long-lost daughter, or what?

All of my 510 batteries are still working. As soon as one goes dead, I'll have a connector.

Heres the parts list for it.

1 - 2AAA Battery Box from Radio Shack - $1.69
1 - 3 Amp momentary switch from Radio Shack - $2.49
1 - dead e-cig battery.
1 - old USB computer cord.

I cut the holes by spinning an Exacto knife into the plastic until I could get a round file into the hole to finish the job. Filed out the hole for a tight fit of the battery connector and switch. A dab of crazy glue on each to hold them. Solder the wires on, and snap the cover back on. Took about 15 minutes at the kitchen table.

The Nicostick took about 1/2 hour. Looks the same, but just a bit bigger. You need a 2 AA battery box for the Nicostick.

Its my dream to have one someday....someday...

I fully agree with you but the usb charger has not meanig to me, can you make me change my mind

 

[Lisaf01]

Are you my long-lost daughter, or what?

heheheheehhehehehe

I am not on my own here then, no?

And no, I am not made of money - I am in fact out of work right now. Even making sure I have all this backup stuff - it's cheaper than analogs in the long run - they cost around £6 a packet here now and I went through anything from 25-50 a day - this is way cheaper and soooooooo much nicer.

tlm222,

You still out there??

 

[Jim Davis]

A USB charger can be plugged into a computer, 110v adapter, or a 12v car adapter. It's a pretty handy thing to have.

 

[Lisaf01]

They enable you to charge your batteries from your USB port instead of the mains charger you would normally get with a starter kit.
Hope that makes it clearer.

Yeah - We got sidetracked, and he didn't come back yet to tell us if our suggestions worked.

Maybe he's busy vaping now, and forgot about us
