I don't know if this was in jest or seriousness, but I think it's fun so I'll answer within the quote..,



I just love a good enabler )

oh it wasn't in jest...i'm all about helping others when and if I can and I'm kind of a search queen and well living just above the poverty level i'm all for saving money and well vaping is such an awesome cause, I'm all for getting people set up with good gear that's easy to use and will hopefully last a long while

the mvp v2 is really easy to use...just like a vv ego, set your voltage to what you want and that's it....press the fire button and vape away...it's all the benifets of the bigger regulated mods but just easier and smaller the button glows green when fully charged, yellow when it starts to need charged and red means dead simple unlike egos that gives no notice and opps it's dead....

sorry got sidetracked while reading/writing....it was like christmas here....4 deliveries today...WOHO I haz some vape mail and then some of the school supplies are trickling in...I did all the school shopping online this year, screw dealing with idiots at stores...and got great deals and was able to get kya a few things she'll like instead of just what was there, like her back pack and I surprised her with some transformer folders from ebay couldn't find good binders but found the kind with the plastic covers so she can design her own pictures to put into them

my living room is over flowed with boxes....really most of these boxes are a good size, could fit 3 whole reams of paper in....but instead one had 4 boxes of 4pack dry erase markers, one had one package of 200 sheet of paper, one had 4 notebooks in.....a huge box that I could fit a microwave in had the paper plates and ziplock baggies in.....

be back shortly....

so I got the cleaning stuff from ecig that I had ordered while it was on sale... I orded 11 of them I mean heck 10mL for 75 cents each and a bottle of free juice (I know odd amount...was aiming for the $10 mark)
well they jipped me a bit but I won't complain...they sent me 2 bottles that appear to be about 30ml and 1 10ml only = 70ml not the 110ml that I ordered..the bottles may be a bit bigger than 30ml...so they sent me also an extra juice looks to be about a 3ml bottle...can't complain

and then a newish (I guess they've been around at least a year but are a small family owned company, The Refuge) had asked if I'd review their juice after seeing my review thread and of course how could I say no
they sent me a 30ml bottle of each juice that they currently carry with a thank you letter, info about them and info about each juice...just wow....

 

[daleron]

SWEET Shadav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Evie Luv]

....yeah, and my mom was 37 when she had me, which in the mid-sixties was ANCIENT for having another baby. So she always said.

My husband is a change of life baby because his poor mom just thought she had finally started menopause when in fact she was pregnant. His sister who named him was 16 and then his 2 brothers were 11 & 12.

 

[Shellie]

Shadav, sounds like a good day! I do a lot of my shopping online too. I do go to stores when I need something right away, and for most groceries. Mvp you say? Hmmmm

 

[Evie Luv]

Shadav that is awesome that you get to sample all those juices.

 

[Shadav]

lol i feel like it's christmas around here I figured when they asked they send maybe a juice or two or a small sample of each but 30ml of each *faints*

finally cleaned up all the sea of boxes from the living room Avery's happy she's got lots of bubble wrap and filler paper to color and play with
not even gotten half of the school supplies in yet though....man if this is a preview, i'm going to have a sale on boxes

 

[Evie Luv]

I order some things online. Especially if I don't have to pay tax or shipping and I'm not using gas to go 40 miles to go get it. But I've never thought of getting paper plates and stuff like that online.

I get bulk item's sometimes, like dishwasher tabs and stuff

 

[LoriP1702]

UGH! Glad i got my backup today. my spinner isn't working AGAIN! this is getting insane. i woudl bring it back to teh vape shop, but the one i went to was while i was on a road trip

Sorry you're having such vape issues. Glad you got that back up though!!

My husband is a change of life baby because his poor mom just thought she had finally started menopause when in fact she was pregnant. His sister who named him was 16 and then his 2 brothers were 11 & 12.

Oh wow, bet that was a shock. Did they spoil him rotten? My sister and brother would complain to my mom how spoiled I was, and mom would tell them to just go look in the mirror to see who'd done it.

GRACIOUS WOMAN!!! I bet you're worn out!! How exciting though!! Always fun to have packages arrive.

...I ordered a few workout dvd's yesterday, they shipped today...so I have UPS packages to stalk now.

Kind of on pins and needles to get started.
I know, sounds crazy, but I am. (hope the excitement lasts )

 

[Shadav]

yes yes, mvp v2 is a great mod, it's just a little step up from the ego's as far as ease to use plus it offers all the features of the bigger regulated mods, if you want to learn how to use it (which is really easy) tests your atty (tanks) oHm (resistance) so you know what it is and then can set your mods volts to an appropriate level (if you want, or just use whatever volt setting you like....rule of thumb add 2 to the number, so if your atty's oHm is 1.8 you want your volts to be around 3.8 or less, if your atty is 2.4 you want your volts to be around 4.8 or less) it'll make since after awhile, it's all about taste preference...the higher the oHm (resistance of the addy) the higher to volts usually to get a good taste from but don't want to go too high as you will then chance burning the wick and going to low it won't warm the juice fast enough and your drip tip basically becomes a straw instead of vapor and can cause leaking from the bottom pin....this for any device not just mvp btw lol...
can be used in watts (power) if wanted instead of volts, that's just a personal preference (to each their own using volts or watts....)
is built in battery, so no need to buy extra batteries to keep on hand and know which one is charged, which one needs charged...but the battery is just as good as regulated mods and will last a good 2 days
passthru charging so if you wanted to can vape while charging, no need to wait for it to charge first or find a backup mod to vape with
510 and ego threaded so you can use all kinds of tanks on it
lightweight compared to other regulated mods and pocket friendly
plenty of wraps out there to design it the way you want it or places to get free products to make your own wrap to make it the style/color you want
a puff counter, for fun, to tell you how many puffs you've taken since last time the device was shut off
and if you were in dire need to you can charge other devices (like cell phone) from it

it really is a nice all around mod to have and really simple to use....after using a regulated mod vs the mvp v2, I like the mvp v2 but my TECs will always be my baby and well missed still trying to fix it so it's safe to vape with again....

so that said lol I'll be back in a bit with a list for you to check into on some good items to have

hahaha I usually wouldn't have, they were school supplies for avery so figured while I was doing her shopping I'd just see and heck they were so cheap it wasn't even funny....plus with walmart if you spend over $50 it's free shipping, so why not....they have a lot of nice things in their saving center category (clearance, rollbacks, bundle discounts, daily values, special buys)

bottom coil tanks
$3.90 Pink mini glass protank 3 - 1.5mL 2.0 oHm Purdy! I like. This i know what it is, I have one but not so pretty

$4.66 Bottom Coil 3mL 2.4oHm glass tank with removable drip tip I know what this is, but is it a knockoff for something? is it a protank clone or something else?

$4.71 Glass bottom coil tank 2ml 2.2oHm Oh, i think i see. you're showing me different styles and ohm clearos. okay, but i still don't understand what ohms correspond to. feel so dumb. all i know is the guy at the vape shop told me mine was 1.5 and i should stick with that for the spinner. didn't say why.

$6.36 authentic glass eVod 1.5mL 1.5 oHm Ohhh, really pretty. I think I might come down with a case of shinitis.

I use one of these, just a different design...hyper tank clone: $9.59 5mL 2.2oHm HyperTank Clone - rainbow colored
this is the one that I have 10.44 HyperTank Clone Is there a difference between these two other than the design? And what's the difference between this and the others? Sorry, should I just go ask in the newb thread?

carto glass tanks
$5.70 DCT Style 3mL 1.5 oHm Tank
$10.42 anodized glass 6mL DCT 1.8oHm I use this one in a different color...tanks awesome but the carts sucked... More prettyness

[Shadav]

i've given up on vivi novas and won't recomend to try one....the last one I got just because I had some rebate points on FT and thought I'd try it once more....it worked well at first, but then same old same old....it keeps leaking out the bottom center pin.....how does a top coil leak out the center pin? I get bottom coils doing that but really?!?!

 

[daleron]

I had lousy luck with vivi nova's too

I saw you LB!!

 

[Shadav]

yes everything under the bottom coil "Category" is basically protank knockoffs they are bottom coils, meaning that the coil/wick rests at the bottom of the tank, which tends to give a cooler vape...there's no difference in them other than tank sizes, styles and the coil oHm's (which all are replaceable coils so you can buy whatever oHm coil you decide that you prefer)
basically yes clearos but these are all glass, better quality, no worrying about tank cracking juices and easier to clean than plastic tanks
tried to explain briefly in an above post about the oHm....oHm is the resistance of the coil, the higher the oHm the higher the volts you can vape at...higher volts means warmer vape...different juices taste better at higher volts (hot) and some better at lower volts (cool)
rule of thumb is whatever your coil's oHm is you would add 2 to it to get the "best" volt setting for that coil
so if you have a 1.5 oHm coil then you would want to set your volts to 3.5 or less to avoid burning your wick and juice, you might be able to go up to 3.8 but you'd chance burning the wick
if you have a 2.2 oHm coil you would then set your volt to 4.2 or less...you could maybe go up to 4.8 volts but you would risk burning and if you go too low volts then you're not warming the juice enough that it could oversaturate your wick and leak out the bottom of the tank....

there are top coil tanks like vivi novas but they are a PITA and have always leaked on me so I don't recommend them at all anymore...top coil tanks, means that the wick and coil rest at the top of the tank and tend to give a warmer vape

the carto tanks, are just that a carto (like what the cigalikes use) inside a tank so all the goodness of a cart if you like carts but in a tank to hold more juice

the ET is the next step up from the bottom coil tanks it's a bit advanced but it's one of the easiest so called rebuildables out there...it is a dripper, not a tank (but does come with the option to make it a tank)...drippers give a more clean/pure flavor) but typically only hold a small amount of liquid, but the ET actually holds a lot for a dripper

no the 510 to ego adapter is not that....actually it adds more of a gap...it goes into your devices 510 connection (where your tank screws into) and then you screw your tank into the adaptor....this way you don't strip your devices threads from repeatedly removing tanks and can help if your tank springs a leak, the juice will first fill the adaptor before it gets too much down into your mod's connector
