Damn Sarah, Sorry about that websit addy. That's what I get for going from memory. It is a good site though. TasteYourjuice.com
I hope the other address didn't take you to anywhere pornographic or anything. :oops:

Anyway, to clean the Vision stone, you just take it apart. It's only 4 pieces. In fact, if you're just changing juice, you don't have to clean it at all. Just pop the cap off and rinse it in hot water, shake it out and refill it. It'll take a few puffs before the new juice starts flowing and the little bit of water in the wicks isn't even noticeable.

Oh, and it does work better with thinner juices, say less than 50%VG.

I was thinking of starting out with 70/30 or 60/40 pg/vg to start out. As I said I'm not really sure what is in this one that I have so I'm just kind of guessing. I seem to read 70/30 is what alot of people use? I'm going to order a few little bottles today to refill these ones and see what I can get a taste for. I watched some videos for cleaning these out so I have confidence!

And nope no porn sites. It was some site about drinking juice to give you energy or something lol.

That vision stone is sold out on gotvapes. Is there any other reputable place to buy it? I seem to have bad luck with picking sold out places!

Ooh that vision stone grande is sexy! Have you used one of those? That will fit on my e-power too I believe. are most things 510 threaded?

Here's what is in my cart to order. I need some things to last me a little while. I need a couple more juices, I ordered one 10ml bottle from backwoods, but I know I need more. Anything in my list you think I don't need? I might tone it down a tad it's a little hefty on price.

Edit: fix pic

I actually think I'm going to possibly skip out on one of the clearomizers or both and get that vision stone 3 and maybe a grande.


Ooh this is also sexy. http://www.vapage.com/Vapage_Premium_V_Mod_System_p/vpk-010-011.htm# I want.

Just a bumpy update :D

I received my epower today and it's a beast. I'm actually almost positive I don't like it at all. It's literally just too big for me. As soon as I get verified member status, I'm probably going to sell it in the classifieds and go with something smaller. I think I'll go back to my original idea of the kGo since that seems a much better size for me. I really appreciate all you guys did to help me pick this out. Anyone that wants it can let me know!

Hi Sarah, how's it going? Sorry I've been out of touch for a while.

I'm pretty sure that I said in this thread that the 18650 was going to be pretty damn large and that you should probably get the 14650, which is closer to the size of a Joyetech eGo. I now have both, and just measured them. The 14650 is about 17mm in diamter, and the Joyetch is 14mm. That means the 18650 must be about 19mm, which is huge. If I ever said to get the 18650, I apologize. I'd look back to see what I said, but this thread is damn long.

The 14650 is plenty big, but not too big. It's exactly the same size as an EMDCC (eGo Mega Dual Coil cartomizer), which makes for a great look. It uses a 1050mah battery, which is plenty. I seem to prefer the blue standard drain batteries to the red high drain ones, at least for the attachments I'm currently using.

Please get an e-Power 14650, and not a kGo, for all of the reasons previously stated - replaceable battery being the chief one. You will like it, I can practically guarantee you of that. I will buy your 18650 from you for what you paid. The simplest thing might be for me to have a 14650 kit shipped to you, and then you send me your stuff.

You might as well sell me the cartos and everything else that is 2.0 ohms, because you want 1.5. You do not want 2.0. At all. 3.7 volts times 3.7 volts divided by 2 ohms is a measly 6.8 watts. 3.7 x 3.7 / 1.5 = 9.1. A much better vape, period.

I can order it tonight if you want, along with the proper cartos. Let me know.

(I'll be AFK for a couple of hours starting in about 15 minutes).

It IS the 14650 and it's still way too huge for me. I'll definitely sell it to anyone that wants it along with everything it came with.

I'll be leaving for work in a little while but I can read and check pm's from my phone.

John I appreciate your kindness very much, I'm just too femmy for some of this stuff! If I have to replace a kGo battery at 17 bucks, I don't mind. I rarely am away from home long enough to need much more than what that will give me.

Wow.....hahahahahaha it must be HUGE!! I will be so happy for u when u get a decent PV!!! I'm feminine too when it comes to these....and its hard to find something sleek that still holds a decent charge. But my eGO does thank goodness.....and I got a 510 pen style last week(just a battery).....it works with all my attys and tanks......its silver, sleek and slim.....charge holds for about 6 hours. That's all i need for being out and about. :)

Sarah, I have 5-10 good reasons why you should just hang on to that e-Power for the moment, which I'll give to you right after you look at these pictures to get some better perspective on the size of the 14650 is relative to devices that aren't as dinky as your Greensmokes thing.

This picture shows the Joyetech eGo 1000mah battery (it happens to be a passthrough [USB port on bottom]) next to the Smoktech e-Power 14650 (on the right), with a ballpoint pen on the left for scale.

JT eGo - ST e-Power 14650 - pen.jpg

And here is a pic of the E-Power 14650 with a chrome eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer (EMDCC) on it, which it looks like it was made for:

Smoktech e-Power 14650 - 3.5 DCT alone.jpg

Now here's a pic of the Joyetech eGo, probably about the same exact size as your proposed kGo, with a Smoktech 3.5ml (DCT)tank on it:

Joyetech eGo-Smoktech 3.5 DCT.jpg

And lastly is a pic of the Smoktech e-Power 14650 with the same tank on it:

Smoktech e-Power 14650-3.5 DCT.jpg

So this is the size difference we're really talking about. Not that dramatic, is it?

I'll start with that on my "Top Ten Reasons that Sarah should hang onto her Smoktech e-power 14650 for the time being":

10) The size difference likely only seems dramatic compared to the dinky little thing you're used to
9) Fits EMDCC like a glove
8) Looks good with DCT tank as well
7) Replaceable batteries - easy to upgrade batteries, can be charged without tying up power unit
6) Replaceable switch - keeps long term costs down, husband off your case
5) Only cost you like $45, and can be sold to friend dying from smoking if you still don't like it after trying it
4) You can buy a multiple battery charger (cheap) so you'll always have lots of fresh ones on hand at all times
3) Sending it back is a hassle for you and the vendor
2) You can experiment with different battery types - high drain, regular drain, different chemistrys
1) It's probably just right for your husband, who will almost undoubtedly be wanting a PV

So that's it. Please don't send it back.

I've bought four them so far for friends who are killing themselves, and am buying about four more this week. Surely there's someone you know who needs to stop smoking, and what better way to start them out than to hand them a setup of their own and say "here, use this. If you like it, you can buy it off me." If you don't keep it around for yourself, please consider hanging on to it so you can help someone else. I'm at around six people and counting whom I've gotten off of cigarettes, and that's in the last three weeks. It feels good saving someone's health, if not their very life; try it, I bet you'll like it.

I totally understand all of your reasoning John, I really do. Something that size is just definitely not for me. I need to shop around for something smaller that has a couple of batteries. As long as I have more than one battery the charge time really isn't a big deal. I'm really happy with the size of the one that I have now, though the battery could last a tad longer. I may shop around for a slim or penstyle kit.

I completely understand what you are saying about all of it. And yes I *only* spent 45$ but that needs to go for me being able to afford to buy something else.
