Lurker's Chit Chat Thread # 5

[Shellie]

I think i'm starting to understand... LOL Okay, time to make some decisions, the first of which is should i spend any more money right now?
i ordered from fasttech but it hasn't shipped yet so i could cancel and order some of this stuff instead...

 

[Shellie]

Oh, and thank you SO MUCH for being so very patient with me

 

[Shadav]

no worries...we all started out knowing nothing and overpaid for cheap crap lol

I spent a lot of time just lurking the forums and gathering info everyone here has helped out a lot and then my old ranters gang that's mia or spread to the wind and badittude were all very patient with me and well ocey just smacking me upside the head when I was really being stupid

I usually hung out in the newbie section but lately it's been overran by the "fanboys" again...sometimes I pop in and try to help out but get tired of idiots trying to push off what they think vaping should be instead of trying to find what the person wants from vaping...

 

[daleron]

Great job you're doing there Shadav

 

[Shellie]

"idiots trying to push off what they think vaping should be instead of trying to find what the person wants from vaping" <----- This. Exactly. I started in the newbie forum section but as soon as i had my five posts in, i started looking elsewhere because people were telling me to get reos and provaris and i didn't even know what a mod was yet! LOL

 

[Shadav]

Great job you're doing there Shadav

thank you dale

 

[Shadav]

yeah the newbie forum goes through it's phases....there are a lot of people that try to help but then the fanboys over run it for a while and the rest of us step back for a bit until the fanboys get bored

 

[Robino1]

Gosh I you guys!

 

[Shellie]

Shadav, I think you solved my spinner problem! I have 1.5 ohm coils. It goes to 4.8 volts. I had it set at around 4. That's too high for my coils, right? So I spun it all the way down and now it works with the protank! Not with the other tank tho.

 

[Shadav]

yes a 1.5 oHm should only be set to 3.5 volts....maybe 3.8....3.2 lowest...anything over 4 will burn your wick and juice

 

[Shellie]

Well it wasn't firing at all. Strange.

 

[Shadav]

Gosh I you guys!

That's an on going problem
Nothing in the world wrong with an eGo or spinner or twist; especially if you're just starting out

thank you dale

Gosh I you guys!

Gosh, we you too!!!

Have you tried lifting the center pin in your battery just a little bit Shelli?
Sounds like you're not getting good contact there

like the other tank doesn't work at all? you may have accidently pushed the center pin of your spinner down....so the other tank isn't making a connection when screwed on
have to be careful not to over tighten tanks....that's where that 510 to ego adaptor i posted about is an absolute necessity no more worrying about that
you can try to carefully pull the center pin back up a little, not to much and not to tough so you don't damage the spinner....

[Shellie]

Yes I did that maybe not enough tho. But the other tank is charged, but it won't even turn on

Ah well, like Shadav said; you gotta be pretty careful with that.
Hummm, you may just have a lemon there

 

[Shellie]

I agree. that one i bought locally, so i may just go to them and be like WTH? But, it was at a tobacco shop, so not sure they're going to do anything about it.

 

[Shadav]

you are confusing me tank = charged? tank turns on?
um.....we need some terminology help here
mod/battery = the battery unit, the actual vaping device
tank = well, the tank, where the juice goes into

can you post a pic of what you have that might help me some.

I think that was just a mis-step there Shad, sounds like her battery won't come on.
I know my mom can't use the one's that require 5 clicks very well cause she can't time it right to get it on
