Grrr FT, Just placed an order for two more Eternitys

I warned you it was dangerous there! That is where mine came from though and other than the bad wait time I do love them and when I can by 2 for the price of 1 I just have to settle in and wait... I can't see paying 30 when I can get 2 for 26!

Authenic or knock-offs ??

Ooooo Bobbi, that tank is pretty ... except I'm not a fan of Pink

 

[balwin]

I admit I'm kind of interested in that halfling thingy but I have no idea how to use one or put it together or order it or ...or ... or

LOL's, somebody want to put one together for me and send it to me?!?

I'm KIDDING!!!

When you order it if you order a tube and caps, they put it together for you. It takes a tiny carto that is like an ego drip atomizer size just tiny and then by the time you put it in the tank it doesn't hold too much. I fill every other day or so except on that one, that one took me almost no time to need to refill!

They're knock offs but ya know, only difference being the drip tip and no branding, no complaints from me.

Yeah, but I don't vape all the time So it would be perfect for me IF I used that kind of thing.


Oh Bobbi! I'm sooooooo glad that Purple Pansy tank has sold already!!!

Normally I'm not much on pink either but they are out of stock on the other colors... I end up with a lot of ego pink batteries too... Bruce loves to have lots of batteries (he has 40 various size egos) and most are from the multiple ego sets from ft so when they come in I get the pinks... for some reason he just doesn't do pink!

I also like the one that has the swan... One of these days I will try one of theirs... I'm not as fond of the cap colors as the ones available from IBT but the price difference... do you get what you pay for or ... I will give up and try one one day though... I just love carto/tanks!

I didn't see that one and I don't need to either

Sorry, got distracted by my computer guy ... we're discussing another computer for the house or a 17 inch laptop 8-o

The eternity is a knock off but I've been using them for 3 months now and not had any trouble with them. They have the same things in their little tin that everyone in the US has and for the price difference I can't make myself think it makes sense to pay for a US one that comes from a company in China just because it has engraving on the side. I priced it in Pueblo for 39.99 and looked at it and went ah yeah, no! I already had mine on the way. I have been happy enough with them to plan to buy 2 or 3 more from ft. What can I say, I work for my money and can be kind of tight when it comes to seeing the same thing for 1/2 or less...

Ears perk up??? filler thingies for the cartos... what cartos... who is using a carto for what... what kind of carto... pre-punched???

Okay if you order some before me let me know how they are please?

Bobbi, I use cartos unpunched without a tank. I like Ikenvape the best of the two brands that I've tried. I have not tried the Smok though. These in the link below are the ones I use. They're wonderful, and the taste is fabulous! The owners name is Isaac, and he is just soooooo awesome. Their customer service is absolutely wonderful!! The only downside is, he sells out quickly, and then you have to wait for things to come back in stock. So, if you order, keep that in mind, but the cartos last WEEKS for me!! I know I'm over a month on the 5 I've been using daily.

510 Mega Fusion LR Punch! 2.0

What do you use to fill cartos that are not pre-punched if you don't mind my asking? What kind of cartos do you prefer for that?

I use the medicine type dropper for these. I put a toothpick in the very center tube to keep that from getting flooded.

Thing is Bobbi, the cartos should taste the same whether they are used with a tank, or without. It's my understanding the tank is just to give a constant liquid feed so you don't have to fill as often as you do just an unpunched carto.

I have an IBTanked in transit, so I'm excited to try a carto tank.

I use my Pro Tank for the most part, because it's so convenient, but I also vape on my cartos daily too.
Right now, I'm vaping with my WyVern that I got going on Christmas, and it's vaping like a champ!!

Here is a pic of the WyVern without the top pieces on. It looks very similar when assembled to the one Dale showed you earlier that she just ordered. This one has the tiny phillips head screws instead of the brass assembly in the one Dale ordered.



You can click on it so it's a little bigger, that was my first attempt at a coil wrap, last summer....it worked too!!!
I believe the WyVern is a knock off of the Phoenix type, but I can't remember for sure. Those of that style are all so similar, I can't imagine one truly vapes a lot differently than another. But that's just my thought.

Welsh, I have a ProVari mini, with the extender for the larger battery. I've been very pleased with mine, not one complaint at all. But, I only have it, 3 regular ego type, and one VV twist type ego.

I personally don't have good luck with purchases. I always get the defective one, that breaks right away, so I wanted the extra long warranty, and I even spent the $20 or so for the additional year, so that gave me a two year warranty. But Bobbi is absolutely right, you can get several mods for the same $$, but when I bought mine, there was no FT, at least not that anyone knew of, and even the Vamos were (I want to say) $60-$70.00, before the batteries. Truthfully, I would think that power/voltage isn't going to be any different in the other variable voltage devices vs. a ProVari, but that's just my opinion, I can't back that with any facts. You know there may be something about constant voltage vs. voltage that diminishes as the battery weakens, so that initial statement may in deed be off. But, to me, power is power.

The ProVari camp would disagree with me no doubt, but I also don't beat up my mod, and some guys truly need one that can stand up to being dropped on concrete, and otherwise tortured. I think they may have an edge in that dept., but again, I can't even say that for sure.

I agree, why do people not realize it's almost ALL made in China anyway???

Ohh, nice! I vote for the laptop! I don't even have a desk top anymore. Each Bruce and I have the exact same laptop and can go where ever we want. When we go away, they fit in the front pocket of the suitcase or in the backpack.

Well I kind of have to trust my guy, he knows soooo much more than I do about this kind of thing.
When I got this set up I just gave him the money and said go get what I need!!
He did a wonderful job too


Oooo! Pizza's here ... BBL!

 

[daleron]

Ummm, Lori? If you swing back by how about a direct link to the unpunched carto's you like?
Those have holes ...

Cool! I will have to try some of them. What size do you favor? How long does it go when you fill it? I think you are right about the tank just making the refill times less frequent. I have heard good things about the ikenvape before. Do you have anything to protect you from the heat on the sides of the carto? I would guess my drip tips would fit it as well so don't have to buy new ones for it right away. My AiV juice mostly comes in glass with drippers so that is no problem. I like the idea of the toothpick too! I'm not fond of juice in my mouth! I think you will enjoy your IBT, I certainly have! I am only now reaching out to other types to see what is available though.

The little dripper looks pretty much like my little ones do too. Mine also have little screws in them. You did GOOD for a first wrap, looks nice!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Provari. I am just one of those people who has so many set up at one time that I can't afford to spend that much for a single one. I have paid an average of 20 for each of my vamo so it comes out a good thing for me. However, all mods aren't created equal I will say that! I have 2 mechanical mods that are Omegas, while they function and I won't be throwing them away, I don't use them too often either. They are uncomfortable to fire, requiring you to use downward pressure to fire. By the end of the day they make my carpal tunnel scream loud! Bruce has one I can't think what they called it, you have to scroll through so many things to get to the right spot on the menu that I just gave up and told him no I will not help you with it, learn it or don't but I'm not making me crazy trying to figure it out! He uses it and mostly likes it, I avoid it like the plague! I have a KTS that I use some, but am so used to my vamo it gets less use than it otherwise would, mostly cuz I have to think about where the fire button is!

As far as egos go, I have 5 twists that came from ft, and a pink 900 that is another one of those where Bruce got a big batch and didn't want the pink. I can not tell a lie, I tend to start people on a pink whatever... We have a set of 6 1300 mAh coming in the next few days from ft that I will get the pink and probably another color from. I like that size/length as it is comfortable for me to use and lasts a long time. The 6 is $32 so I can't complain there. I don't use the twist on my egos all the time so that is ok too.

Mostly I am one of those people that will choose something they like then just keep getting that. Though over the past 10 months I have gone through a series of different things I have been settled on my vamo, egos, carto/tanks and eternity for about 3 months now and am happy here for now at least I don't forsee any big changes, then again when I got my 6 protanks I thought I would use them forever then I went to vapefest in Sept and found the carto/tank...

Sorry about the novel length reply...

Ok, so FT has further awoken my desire for a mech mod and yes, I know I said I had to wait for the MVP to die, but that's looking increasingly too long to wait.

The Smok Magneto, anyone have one? tried one? wanna recommend it? tell me to leave it alone? anyone?!?..

That makes good sense! I always love to have someone who knows what they are doing that I can trust to make the serious decisions! Computers change so fast it is impossible for the average person to even keep up! LOL, remember the first one.. had about 500 kb of memory! A dinosaur, what was that 10 or 15 years ago?!
