Once I bought the Chameleon I quit looking for anything else. I am so content and happy. I had a JB on order and pick it up every now and then-The dang thing just chokes me. I am trying to give it time, but I just love my Chameleon. It is my all day, everyday pv. All I am ever interested in now is atties.
6 weeks in a 2dr coupe? Now that's good packing!!!!

I heard there was quite a long wait for the JB, I am thinking of trying to eventually build my own. I am working on the basic box mod first, and still researching the best method of delivering the juice on the juicebox mod, and will take that on once I feel ready (and I get all my parts together)

I have been waiting for a couple of custom little chucks. I am hoping some time this week, they will be ready.

I am really enjoying the simplicity of these laser mods though. I am not a huge fan of the box shapes, but in order to get juice in line with the atomizer, I have not found an easier way to go about it (YET). I am just getting the hang of soldering and could really use one of those 3rd hand tools to hold stuff, instead of wrapping my leatherman tools with rubber bands to use as wire clips ;)

The LPV2 and Chameleon did that for me also. No more search for a new device! I also think after several different attys that I have found the perfect combination for me. I received my first 302 yesterday and so far I'm loving it on the Chameleon. It's a bit big for the LPV2 so I'm using either a carto or a non-Joye 510 on it. Thanks to IkenVape and this forum I can stop fiddling with equipment trying to make it work right and sit back enjoy vaping :)

So today was my two weeks with the LPV2. It still hangs around my neck every waking moment of the day. I probably use it 1/3 of the time and the Chameleon the other 2/3. The poor Bartleby and my KR8/901 setup are very lonely off to the side. The LPV2 hasn't let me down yet. The button works perfectly, my end cap threads are doing fine and I couldn't be happier with it.

We spent Saturday evening with the In-Laws, Mom, Dad and Sister. It was Mom-In-Laws birthday. For Christmas we had given Dad a disposable 510 kit to see if he would like vaping. He did! Then we set him up with another auto battery, an adapter for the KR8, a bunch of cartos and a bunch of different flavor juices. He was on his own after that LOL. He ended up getting a KR8 battery and then a e-cigar. I walked in Saturday and showed him my Chameleon, which he took a hit off and was blown away by the amount of vapor and flavor. It had on a 801 atty with my Orange/Menthol juice mix. Then he spotted the LPV2 around my neck so I reluctantly took it off and showed it to him. Lets put it this way, I had to pry it from his hand when we went to leave. He kept it all the time we were there and barely set it down, even when we ate. He has a birthday next month, I may have to get him one :)

I think this LPV2/Cartos will be my last e cig purchase for a while... I have been swept up into many areas trying things out, buying supplies like a mad woman and I have to get a handle on my spending. It's been a fun shopping spree and I am glad I got to make Iken my last stop for supplies for a while. If I don't type this out and make it more of an announcement than just a thought rolling around in my head, I might find more excuses to buy more stuff, so hopefully I will be able to put that CC away and enjoy all the stuff I have been buying for the last month or so. Its funny how all this started with Kirk getting a Blu, and I don't even smoke tobacco... but that's besides the point, I like to smoke other things, and this was a great tool to help ween me off of my daily smokefest that I have been indulging in for so long. So it is not all in vain, but yeah I have been buying e cig stuff like there is no tomorrow, so now I must step down and pull the plug on my spending. I'm glad I got to have this experience here with all of you, I won't be going away, just might not be as eager to buy... I hope. Is there an e cig supply buying support group?? My name is April and I am addicted to spending money on e cigs :D

Dicipline is a toughy, but yes I also did the same then it settles down. Yes please do check in from time to time, this is just for selfish reasons. I just want to hear how the cross country move/camping venture goes :D:D
Also how do you like the zebra wrap after you been using it? Does it hold up well? What a sweetheart of Witchway to offer up.:)

Thanks Aspen :) I will be posting pictures to my facebook page mostly since they will actually upload there. Welcome to Facebook | Facebook should get anyone interested to my FB page.

I will be testing out the zebra soon, when I get the LPV2 I just ordered last night. I don't know if Kirk would care for a zebra pattern on the one he is using now ;) I did put black vinyl on his (started off red) and it's holding up nice so far. I will report in the Beta thread about the stripes once I apply them and use them for a few days.

I think about that all the time, people I know (at parties mostly) are also passing other smoking devices around in a group, and nobody seems to think twice about it. I don't know how many times I got sick after a party, because of that very reason. It's like sharing a straw, or toothbrush, you just don't want what they might have. Even if you can't tell they are sick, they might just have the germs hanging out waiting for the next victim. I am not a complete germephobe, but sharing anything you put in your mouth is just asking for some kind of infection.

Naw-I didn't let her get at my atty/cart. As you know I have way too many extras. When I pulled out the stash, she was all OMG. LOL. So funny. I let her pick what she wanted to try and she chose the Chameleon with a cartomizer. She had picked up an e-cig before going to Europe last year and when it came time for more nicquid she was told she had to buy some large quantity bullcrap.(That's her explanation.) I pulled all the flavorings,pg,vg,pga and nicotine out and began the tutorial. Talk about a happy young lady.
I have actually typed the importance, on this forum, about cleanliness with vaping and usually get-yeah you're right. I can tell it isn't truely believed. People will learn. I am a tad of a clean-aholic, just a tad. And here I sit all congested up and sinuses(sp) giving me a fit!

jam is the sweetheart for helping me out! My zebra stripes are doing great. I was worried that all the handling would lift the edges but that is not happening. I wear mine from a necklace all day and down the back where it seams together, towards the bottom there is a rough place on one edge where it has rubbed on my shirt, but it's not lifting at all. Where my fingers hold it all the time is the same as when I put them on, maybe even smoother feeling. I'm very pleased with how it's working.

I've been whining for days about having to take the zebra stripes off to test the new cut for the vinyls. I haven't taken the stripes off yet, it's killing me LOL So last night hubby got two more lasers so we would have them to test on and I don't have to take my stripes off this one. He is soooooooooo good to me :)

That is sweet of him! I have been thinking of getting the 510 LPV2 model just to have it, but man has my CC balance grown this month! I have ordered a ton of atty's, cartos, juice, 2 little chucks, the LPV1, LPV2,a 5v passthrough, adapters and some modding parts (some of which I already destroyed in the process of attempting to mod them, note to self, solder away from plastic box...) bought and sold a 801 kit, I also bought a GG slim, but quickly resold it on the classifieds for a $20 loss, after I found the chucks. The custom graphics are what got me on the chucks, and the solid build, but that's beside the point. I still want a 510 LPV2, but need to back off the spending :shock: My reasoning is "Hey! I won't be spending this kind of money once we move, and our incomes are fixed for a little while so do it NOW while you still can" little monster in my head that convinces me to buy things ;) I need to bind and gag that little bugger! One thing is for sure, I will have vaping supplies to last me for quite a long time, should they become hard to come by, or get banned or something... Just one more... nobody will know... it will be my little secret...hehehe I'm definitely hooked.

The only saving grace are the 510 kits I ordered for wholesale pricing and have been selling to friends and local peeps who want e cigs, the little extra profit I get for them helps balance out my spending some. I got a few extra 510 kits to take with us on the road, as I know we will probably be approached at some point when using our e cigs and might have the opportunity to sell a few kits along the way. Our little egg camper is an attention grabber, so throw in some glowing led lights while we are vaping and that is like a bug zapper, people won't be able to help themselves. Originally that is what got me sold on the e cig, aside from the cleaner "smoke", I could not stop looking at Kirk's when he was puffing away on his blu, ooooooh the pretty blue light.... it was hyptnotising. That is the only feature I miss about the mods, and still daydream about a mod with a slow fade color changing light on the end for those times when you don't mind grabbing peoples attention, or at a party or festival. Once I get this modding thing down a little better, maybe I can attempt to build one. I already have the color changing bulbs sitting here staring at me. Ok, this has turned into quite a pre-dawn ramble, woke up early, head is still a little fuzzy. Need coffee..... :lol:

Well then let me Thank both of you. I thought the same thing , that it would lift and just be temporary. Great news to hear how well it's holding up. Sure was a nice gesture to buy a couple to spare your anxiety. lol

I know it's a bit late in the game, but I finally got my batteries in and have been testing the laser mod for a couple of days now, and I don't think I can add anything new to what has already been discussed. It works well, as good as any other 3.7v mod I've tried. Noalox seemed to fix the sticky threading on the battery cap. I wish the battery lasted longer, but you can't really expect long battery life out of a little 10440.

All in all, I like it. The switch works well, it's not too big, looks great, and fits easily in my hand. Pair this with premium cartomizers, and it's a great little vaping device.

Never too late!!!! Happy to have you join us :)

At least the 10440s are small, easy to carry, recharge fast and are fairyly inexpensive to replace. At first the battery life bothered me, but I bought 4 batteries and they change out so quickly I don't even think about it now. The battery and my 901 cart seem to last about the same amount of time so I just change them both at the same time now. Only takes a few seconds. it's become such second nature I don't even notice I'm doing it. Of course I'm so ditzy most of the time I don't notice a lot of things I do ;)

jam... The buying is addicting, I know! It does slow down after a while though LOL At least I keep telling myself that. Now I have the devices I want, plenty of batteries and have found the attys and carts I like best, I really should not have to spend a whole lot more.

Your excitement about your move is catchy. I find myself looking for your post talking about it. You are so creative you'll probably invent a new mod and have Isaac and Val sell it for you ;) Please don't stop posting!! I know I enjoy reading your posts and look forward to what's ahead for you.

rose... I'm working on vinyl covers for the two Lazer mods that Isaac will be selling on his site. So you can change colors or designs. My business is extremely busy right now so I'm working it in where I can. They are getting close!! My Zebra LazerV2 was the first one I did and jam has been helping with the testing. We are very excited about this :)


aspen... I'm sooooo thrilled to be able to do this and work with Isaac and Val. They are such wonderful people and I'm honored to get to know them and be part of this forum. Everybody here has been great!

*hugs* To All!!!!! I always feel soo good after I've been here :)
