    Yeah, well the Chuck is pretty old school by today's standards. I remember when the custom wrap was announced. I was seriously looking at getting one. Ended up with a Mako Midi, which I still use, though not as often as my K100.





    That's one piece of lingo I haven't picked up on. See it threads about the kayfun too. :unsure:






    I posted that in a thread back in 2010. I still use that box. Has different stuff in it now.

    Still use my Mako quite often. Also think it has one of the best locking switches around.

    also came up with the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...supplier-forum/53487-zfm-zero-filler-mod.html :)

    Which has become the ego tank.

    I think you're right! I never bought any because I had so many dead batts to salvage. It was really ridiculous how all the devices had different threading. Life could have been so much easier. Then we bought all the adaptors that didn't last...
    I'm glad the 510 finally became standard but it wasn't the best choice.

    I just had to paste this over to where it belongs...
    I'm glad I started "using electronic cigarettes" when I did.
    Yeah, I hate the term "vaping" even if Oxford has accepted it.
    From my first Njoy Pro that I had to mod with a portable phone battery to stay off of analogs... them the 401, 901, 801, and finally seccumed to the 510
    Who would have thought that we would expect batteries to to accommodate the demands of our individual atomizers.
    I wish someone would do a timeline of the ECF Modder's Forum. Everything we have now started there, and atomizers were last on the list. Who remembers the Fang?
    Everything was 3.4 ohm. The goal was battery life and then power.
    Then came box mods, low ohm attys, regulators, mosfets, potentiometers, variable voltage, touch switches, top feed, bottom feed, batt explosions, venting requirements...............

    Ahhh, I am loving this Egrip. Finally. This could have been done years ago.

    I followed the modders forum much closer back then...the good bad old days....:laugh:
    Everything was done to increase the power, wattage for more vapor. Never saw the 180 watt mods or sub-ohm coming, not sure how necessary it is at this time, although I do vape at higher wattage than I ever thought possible (10-15 watts..:ohmy:)

    I remember when PWM was brand new in "Modders", a way to replace the analog VV with it's heat problems, and the cost of the more advanced switching regulators. Back then we found that PWM mods hit harder at the same voltage settings as other regulators and nobody considered it a problem, it was a sought after feature.

    That was shortly after the time I drifted away. All I wanted was a small form factor and extended batt life. The extras were just making things bigger... Things I didn't want to bother to learn about. It's amazing how fast and far things moved. I kind of wish the Chinese had refined the Nicostick then. We could have had a non-vv istick in 2010! Even the Egrip could have been done then.

    Wow, Bookmarking this! It looks like a lot of them are archived but, wow! Thanks Zoidman.

    OMG. That link has me more confused than I was when I first investigated this site waaaaay back in March 2014. Lol ;) I have no idea what any of the topics from back then even mean!
