new toy.

[Anoob2]

I can feel the addiction... I mean hobby growing already.

Just got my new stainless epower 14650 last night. I've been smoke free for about a month and figured it was time to upgrade and reward myself without spending a ton of cash.

All I have to say is I love my new toy. Been hitting it hard all day on one bat. I guess now I can retire my 902 kit to backup status.

I just thought I would share. Maybe after a bit ill right up a noobs review.

Good choice on your part. Much more cost effective for one of the better 3.7 volt models over the Ego, for example.

If you decide to upgrade again, there are many options from 5 volt to variable volt models.

Glad to hear you like it. What are you using on it?

 

[Anoob2]

The resurrectors mostly. I used a clearomizer that's a mid 2ohms. But mostly the resurrectors.

Best of luck with it!

 

[Anoob2]

thanks swedishfish. From what I have read about the switches I may need it.

 

[hairball]

Good luck and glad you're enjoying it.

You gotta remember that ALL ecigs have occasional problems. Anything that has electronic parts and is used on a constant basis will occassional have things that break. At least with the E-Power you can replace just the switch, and dont have to replace the whole unit, liek you have to with proprietary battery PVs. That being said, you wont neccessarily have problems with the switch. Most of the EPower switch issues involved the 18650 Epower, which most vendors stopped selling, or the switch the E-Power had when it first came out. The original switch had a rubber button which would get stuck fairly easily if you got any juice on it and would also fall out completely. Smoktech has def made big strides with making the switch a lot better. They are now on the 3rd version of the switch which is a LOT better compared to the orignal. They now have plastic buttons and work a lot better. Which switch do you have?
I know some people have had problems with them, but that doesnt necessarily mean that you will. I am still using the original plastic button switch that cam with my E-Power and it has worked flawlessly. With all ecigs though, you should always have backups. The switches are cheap and you can get them for under $10 so its good to always have a spare so your not stuck if one does stop working properly. I have a few backup switches and I ordered an extra one when I bought my EPower. I have not had to use it, but am still glad I have it in case something ever does happen. I actually ordered a spare tube from Hoosier for $5.50 and used my spare switch to build another E-Power for about $15 bucks.

Congratulations on your new epower! Enjoy!

I have two of them. No problem with switches yet and they are replaceable. At home I use an provari and the Epower the rest of the time. I vape both at 3.7 volts and can't tell the difference.

congrats on your new toy!

Rob - I ordered the new kit from ccv and they no longer come with the blue switch and an extra white. It just came with the new white switch. So far so good. I have been "testing" it pretty hard all day. If the switch begins to not handle the resurrectors it won't be horrible. I will be ordering a few extra switches maybe another tube and all just incase so I have spares.

Good idea to always have "extras" and "back-up".
Welcome!

Congratulations. I have four starter kits and I'm always looking around for more. Fun, ain't it?

Am I the only one who now seems to vape more than I smoked???? I have some great new toys and am in the process of opening a mod store in Adelaide South Australia, currently siting in my garage (waiting on lease to be signed by landlord for shop.) surrounded by about 500 502's about the same 808's some 901's and loads of parts not to mention the thousands of cartridges, carts, atty's and juice. My point is I never seem NOT to be vaping on something, is it "kid in a candy store" syndrome or do others seem out there seem to be vaping more than breathing also?!?!?!?!?

Congrats on the new toy!!!

Dont be Afraid to try out the Boge 2.0 on your Epower. I personaly liked them better than the CCV cartos.

This is why I vape 100% mechanical mods
