Those I know all about. The 2.5ohm DCCs I'd stick on my stacked Silver Bullet and vape at 7.4V. That is a spectacular vape. :D (And believe it or not the DCCs actually lasted a good week even at that ridiculous voltage. Back when they were good that is. :D)

7.4?! That should be illegal.

Hey Mopar is your Vivi 2.5 made by Vision? I'm just wondering since it's so much cheaper than other places and you don't have the logo on the box pictured. Furthermore the wicks look like the shorter ones in v2 rather than the supposedly longer ones in v2.5

Very little to nothing is made by Vision. They just stamp their brand all over it and resell it to people at 50% mark up. The long short wicks is my bad because I didn't specify. They are completely rebuildable and you can use any gauge and wick you like and never buy another assy as long as you don't want to. Hence the "super secret backdoor edition" I was able to skip paying visions stupid markups and delivery the product at a fair price.

Mopar we definitly neeeeeed all of these.

Also some smoktech king kong steel drip tips :D

V-max's in a range of colours etc will be available next order I put in with smoktech they just ...... me off so I've been holding out.

I assume it was the lack of communication that ...... you off with them? If you do place an order would you consider carrying these? 510 DCT 4.5ml(with 35mm cartomizer inside), I think it would be nice to have a source for a standard 35mm boge/kanger carto tank since thats one item I couldn't get from you when I was looking.

I think what you meant to say is Visions wouldn't allow you to sell their product so you had to find a different route.

Hi folks - new around here at ECF and started vaping first of May. Ego-C starter kit, then pretty quick to stardusts. Loved the concept of the Vivi and had been (im)patiently hounding poor Tom asking for ETAs looking forward to try them.

So while holding out on an order waiting for the vivis I finally snapped on Wednesday night to pick up some Firebirds for the weekend (ship next day from Newmarket, arrive to me next day always). Of course, less than 24hours later 'poof' the vivis are in and time for a second order within 24hours, lol.

These 3ml Firebirds are pretty are pretty impressive. I had some threading probs with one of them where it doesnt seem to screw down properly to get a post connection to fire. One works on everything I have but the other only works on one of my ego batts I have (a twist) and one of my two 501-ego adapters I have for the LT. I pulled the pin (not connected to the metal air tube by the way and is only a few millimeters long - easy needlenose pliers pull and adjust) but that didnt work but at least didn't cause leaking. Not a big deal at all as it works fine on some of my equipment so its useable. I should mention that first time on the ego batt I pushed through a half turn of slight thread resistance/grind about 2/3 on, but pressed through ...maybe cleaned up a slight alignment issue.

I sense a dilemma -- these firebirds are darn good and taste great -- and I also have a set of vivis with parts that should arrive Monday. Not sure which will win now, but it is refreshing to have two great products (trusting mopars good experience and the vivis dont suck) back to back. Also tucked a couple SD2.0s in with my viva order for fun :) SDs were the only positive ce-X experience I had had prior. Tried two stone3s and hated them with no taste and tried a variety of techniques, but couldn't get them working properly...suspect the wick material is crummy and will just wait to work with the vivis if I have to DIY any rewicking for flavour.

Preaching to the masses of course here but Canvape has an evangelist customer in me as I convert the family and friends. Sweet prices, quick to get new technology...and I love that I can high-five an order at night and it will ship the next day and arrive the following.

Anyway - hi everyone - and a big thanks to mopar in general. Appreciate your discussions -- the forum is a big help as I dont really have any realworld vape-buddies except for my newly converted family members who look to ME for tech support, ha....Im sure many others are in the same position.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Vaping can look a bit puzzling at 1st but you absorb a lot in no time.

Soon you`ll be sharing DIY recipes.

I'm not sharing my recipes! I learned my lesson when you mentioned ecto cooler! I will share this since I'm stocked up:

Capella - Root beer float. It is some killer stuff. 12% flavouring and I don't steep it. I think you would like it martinc! I've only been dripping it so far and its superb. I had to separate this flavour from the rest as the smell permeates through the bottle.

I think he's saying why would he sell thier product when he could just bypass the middle man and go straight to the source providing us with the best price there is with the same product, thats what canvape is all about!!

exactamundo , heres a good example , the bloog max fusion and the smookless image one , i confirmed they are the same product coming from the exact same wholesaler but whats up with the huge price difference , when the first came out they were like 50
$ apart in pricing , one just had the bloog logo one had the volt logo , the volt is not a cheap knock off its the same product blood just decided to be greedy and up their profits at our expense , i bought a bloog , paid 100 for it when its really only worth 20 $
this is just one example but there are many , once a company throws theyre lable on someones product many just assume its their own product and everything else is a cheap imitation ,

once u take the greed out of the equation everyone wins , more people can try things and save money the vendor must not make as much as most canadian vendors because he isnt marking it up to a ridiculous amount

look at the ego twist , authentic joye , is 22$ here , look else where 29-35$ ,

Haha on the DIY comment - already starting in that direction. Thanks to the junk drawer full of mediocre to vomitous juices I have from 2 months hunting for premix vendors across the galaxy, I did add a handful of LorAnn flavors in my vivi order in an optimistic attempt to salvage about a litre of miscellaneous vendor juice products/orders. Only two months off cigs, I was surprised how long it took for my taste to stabilize (prob 4 or 5 weeks) but I definitely have learned what I don't like to vape and have a decent idea of the types of flavors I enjoy most. Its been an expensive start to my journey but oh so fun...

I saw the talk about the ego adapters not working with the 3ml Firebird. Mine worked at first for like an hour or so then all of a sudden it stopped working. Is there anything I can do??? I can't vape my Firebirds now :( :( :(

Pull the sleeve off and check the air holes around the base of the Firebird, make sure they're not plugged. Also, wipe down the tank and the inside of the sleeve. I notice that a thin film of condensation can build up between the sleeve and the tank, and when that happens the draw starts getting tighter.

Chelly, In my case, it was that it wouldn't even thread on :( However I was lucky enough to have other adapters to get it to work.

I did try it on my KSD and it wouldn't even fire, so Monday at work I m going to be digging into it

For what it's worth I've tried it on 4 different devices (eGo Twist, Lambo, standard eGo and my ProVari with an adapter) and it fired up fine on all of them.

I am batting 50% Mindfield.

Twist, works everytime although at the start it was getting an occasion dry hit for the wife.

Standard ego adapter I have = no threading.

LT with a 510-901 and a 901 to ego fit like a glove, and no dry hits.

KSD thread in just tickity-boo but no fire.

but in baseball .500 is pretty damn good?

The draw isn't tight, it's perfect. The adapter just makes everything not work. It's brand new and was working great with SDs and the Firebird tanks for an hour or two and then all of a sudden, nothing will fire. I thought I broke the damn clearo. I didn't though. So now the SDs won't work (but I can use 2x510 adapters for those), and the Firebird won't work on anything but my ego which is 3.7v only so the FB is useless on it, wimpy wisps of wimpy wispy vapor :(

You using the adaptor on the LT? (not sure if you still have one) if so the adaptor probably pushed the center pin down on the LT, they do that as I have found out, try gently pulling the pin up a bit on the LT with something.....i bet you it will fire. Unless I am reading this all wrong which i would not put past me, in that case forget i mentioned it :p
