I have to say I'm sorry to Altsmoke and to you the readers, I'm an Idiot :( My problem is in fact with NHaler and not with Rob/AltSmoke.
I removed my comment and mods can remove any mention in this post. I love my Silver Bullet and feel bad for ripping on the wrong company--One I like and has great service! It was late when I posted and did not notice which post I was in. Total brain fade on my part, I am so sorry about this to all of you.
I'm still mad as heck about the LR attys from NHaler being bad and lack of support as you could tell. Please forgive me, and I think I'll not post negitive comments any more--they just bite me in the ...--jeeez you would think I would no better by now.
To end. AltSmoke is a great company, and I have had great service from them and I do recommend them :)

Cartomizer's are supposedly the easiest and most hassle free addition to your PV. I've never used one so I can't comment on that, but with dripping, as soon as you taste the flavor diminishing ever so slightly, drip a couple drops... simple as that. With a drip tip it's even easier!

Dripping is allowed with automatic batt's, but not advised. Sometimes when dripping you may over-fill and have some juice run through the airholes on the atomizer and down into the battery connection. If it's an automatic battery that's a big problem because of the air intake hole that goes through the middle. Manual batteries don't have that air intake hole, so they are coined "dripping friendly". A quick wipe of the connections when you over-drip on a manual batt and you're good to go!

I'm not sure about the power pack from radio shack, maybe an expert could chime in.

Hope that helps, and happy vaping! :)
Thank you for the info. Maybe manual batteries are the way to go. I'll give'm another try :)

Are you looking for something instead of using the passthru? Some passthru's actually come with a rechargeable battery built in so you could essentially still vape if your power went off.

I think what you are talking about from radio shack is just basic power adapters which wont work as it wouldn't have the connection to you ecig.

You could always go with a power adapter that has a 5v USB power port on it.

If this didn't answer your question, please rephrase as I am a little confused as to what you are asking...

Edit: they also make PCC for certain models to be able to charge on the go...
I've tried an older version of the pcc and didn't like it. I don't feel comfortable using the passthru from my computer because it's the only computer I've got, and I also read that you get more even vapes from a power pack.

This is the one you want. And you will need the "size N" tip with it (you get one free tip when you buy that enercell in the store. they have the tips in the store too).

What do you mean by "move around with my passthru"? The cord is like 3' long. You're not going to be able to walk around with a passthru.
I guess I wanted some sort of battery pack I could take with me while doing housework, or even going outside to sit on the porch or take a walk. I read it gives more even vapes from one of those.

Thx skinny. I really hope you get things worked out with them.

Hmmm, depends on what you want. Is it that you find the Yeti a bit weak? or that the batteries don't last long enough? or...what?

Any kind of battery solution will gradually weaken until the batteries are dead. Lots of batteries in parallel will give you more capacity ==> same power but lasts a lot longer. Batteries in series gives you higher power and lasts as long as a single battery. That enercell gives you the option of selecting the power you want with a switch (pretty much only 5v and 6v are useable and maybe 3v).

I'm guessing that longevity of your batteries between charges is not your primary concern? And maybe you're looking for a stronger vape? A fine solution for all the above might be a BB, with the recommended 14500 battery (actually a few for rotation while charging), and the Low Resistance atomizers. It's basically equivalent to 5v vaping with a regular atomizer (just a little less intense).

(yeesh, do I sound like an AltSmoke salesman or what? :) -- please send commission in credit for parts and accessories)

I guess the enercell is what I want to go with the passthru. And as soon as I can, I guess I'll be ordering the bb and a drip thingy from Rob. So you think the bb is better then the silver bullet?

No. just different. It's smaller. Since it's smaller it takes smaller (less capacity) batteries. Those guys with the SBs can go well more than a day without recharging a battery. The BB will go about 1/3? of that... maybe less. But it fits in a shirt pocket, it weighs less, and maybe a bit more discrete when used in public. Currently the SB doesn't have a passthrough option but that's supposed to be remedied soon. Either one will give you the (not recommended) option of stacking batteries for 6v vaping.

Quick1,
I see why you go by that name--you are indeed quick. Although, I did not re-type my original post, I just think the same all the time...lol!
Anyway, it was because of you I saw that I messed up and thanks for calling me on it. I WANT to let people know when these little companies are good, and I WANT to let people know when these guys are bad. So to mess up like this is huge for me, and I feel horrible.
Keep up the good work

Well, good for you. Although rather outside the envelope, I can imagine how you might have just been thinking of your experience and then substituted Rob and his company... I do believe you forgot and even though an honest mistake it was rather negligent on your part. Most of these suppliers are indeed small businesses in start-up mode and trying to get their business off the ground. Mistakes like that can do significant damage. That thing about one black mark being worth a hundred atta-boys... especially on a public forum. I'm guessing Rob was going to sort it out with you privately as he's too professional to get into something like that in public.

Quick1,
I know what you mean by your comments, and I know the repercussions of my comments--that's why I went back so quickly and removed it, and also said how much an ... I was. We all make mistakes--I guess it was my turn :eek:

It was an honest mistake Skinny. The important thing is that you owned up to it. Well done. 100 days of singing altsmoke's praises and you will have served your penance.:)

Personally, to me it doesn't matter what it looks like or how big it is. I just want a strong battery that will last a long time and a lot of vapor. I'll drag a battery around on wheels if it means getting a good vape, lol.

Then the SB might be a better choice for you. BB == SB as far as the vape potential. It's just a difference in size, weight, and interval between battery recharges. (...and that the pass through for the SB isn't out yet -- but it's supposed to be coming). heh, come to think of it, the BB does not come in a chrome polished finish either.

I guess I know what I'll be ordering next then. The Silver Bullet and passthru, and a drip tip. Thx for all of your help Quick1, and to everyone here, ty for making me feel welcome :)
