when I get some time, I might do this to the front page for one or two items and some other categories.

I'd start with a prominent pic Autumnwolf's LG mod. Maybe a big ole pic of a wood mod on each side of the home page main body since most have wide screen monitors? I know they aren't a high volume item, but they are unique to your site. JMHO.

Like it...a lot. As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. :thumbs:

BTW, you really do carry a nice line of clearo's. I think you made a wise decision carrying the Thor line. Great form factor little tank.

hey that looks really nice! I love the descriptions of the different clearos with the pics, that is very helpful.

Just checkedyour page.Seems you are still out of the Kanger T2's. Any idea when they will be in?

My order is due to ship Wednesday, so if they use UPS I *might* get it Friday. EMS I might get it Saturday.
If not the following week. Didn't expect to sell out in two days LOL

But I have colors and resistances coming this time :)

I'd agree with you, but it's a very very small percentage of sales and that space is better left for popular items.
I'd love to showcase Lewis's work more but I can't really, some people are short on time, and they might assume I am a specialty store of some sort.

at least that's how I am thinking LOL

I need to get bigger before I do something like that. Need to quit the day job and all that :)

Oh well, thought I'd give it a shot while we're on a roll:D

FWIW, the area for the pics I'm referring to is the large blank areas to each side of the home page when viewed on a 16:9 widescreen monitor. The same area that is intentionally left blank so nothing is missed when viewed on other formats. Cheap seats as it were.

ah,.. never explored that option, I'll see if I can work in that area.

Eric,

Can I get a sales pitch for the difference between Go-go Dual Coil 3.5ml Clear Cartomizer and 510 Dual Coil 3.5ml Clear Cartomizer

I have used Ego mega dual coils, and frankly they are the best tasting vape I have come across, I am hoping that the ones with the 510 connection are comparable. (and I hope the plastic cracking issue is gone, but I doubt it).

I don't give sales pitches :)

These are almost identical to one another.

this one: (the one I think you are using)
ego Dual Coil 3.5ml Clear Cartomizer - One Piece

this one:
510 Dual Coil 3.5ml Clear Cartomizer

and this one:
Go-go Dual Coil 3.5ml Clear Cartomizer

are all basically the same. the differences only really being the threadings.

the go-go fits o the go-go, the ego threads on the eGo cones threads and the 510 screws into any 510/ego, when I had the Go-go made I asked that they be designed from a sample I sent, which was something like the second one without the cone threads

I have 2 of the Kanger T2's and tested them on several devices including 2 XL3's and every combination worked for me. Is it possible one of your XL3's connector pins is just too low? Love these things so far but this is the first day using them. No leaks and very easy to fill. They measured 2.8 ohms on the provari out of the package but after a tank they are measuring 2.6 and 2.7. Very happy with these and it's hard to argue with the price for sure.

Don't know what the exact issue is. Firstly I have to say I really like the T2s. I have been vapin mostly 3.5 to 6ml tanks with DCT duallys so this was my first non carto type device since the CEs I used a long while back. I got some CE2s but passed off to the Mrs as I burnt up the first one. (stuck it in an Omega with a kick set at 9volts) My bad, I forgot to change the voltage, but it's all good, she likes them...back on topic. Well, when I first got the T2s and the XL3 mini, I just filled it up with the tobacco juice Eric sells, which is the best bar none IMHO and it vaped like a champ. I vaped on it on the XL3 mini for a few hours. Then I pop a 3.7v batt on a variable voltage mod I have (3.0 to 6volts) and added the 510 to eGo adapter and it was vaping fine on that. When I switched back to the XL3...nothing...now intersting enough, if I put the 510 to eGo adapter on the XL3 mini, it fires up just fine. The other T2 I have, I tried that on both the adapter and XL3 and it works fine on both. Weird...no big, but just weird...sharing my experience. Don't want to fiddle with it b/c it vapes like crazy and my Siam Pyrex XL tank just got crushed this weekend, so will keep these up. The Apollos I have are okay, but the T2s are better at wicking and no gurgle (tired of fiddling otb if I don't have to). Anyway, was just seeing if it was an isolated incident or not. Thanks.

Anyway, was just seeing if it was an isolated incident or not. Thanks.

what I have noticed is the inconstancy in the connectors on all cartos and batteries, this has been come more evident with the newer cartos I have been carrying, with many of us using different cartos and different batteries problems are arising. this is what I believe is happening:

1. you put carto Type 1 on an XL3 it fits well and fires and works.
2. you put carto Type 2 on the XL3 it also works fine.
3. you put carto Type 1 back on the XL3 it now seems to have issues.
4. you put carto Type 2 on the XL3 it works fine.

hmm, did Type 1 just go bad?

Now it gets interesting..

1. you put carto Type 2 on an eGo it fits well and fires and works.
2. you put carto Type 1 on the eGo it also works fine.
3. you put carto Type 2 back on the eGo it now seems to have issues.
4. you put carto Type 1 on the eGo it works fine.

did type 2 just go bad?

There is no discernible pattern except switching of the cartos.

My belief (and in testing it seems to be correct) that some of the connectors on the cartos are a mm longer or shorter than others, this causes more compression on the connector of battery 1, which causes the next carto not to make a good solid contact. In the case of a battery without a compressable connector, this is reversed and causes the connector on the carto to go higher inside the carto which can cause leaks.

I have confirmed this behavior with Apollos and CE4's & CE5's on certain ego adapters, it compresses the center post UP, which causes gurgling and leakage. It seems to me that any carto that uses the ego cone threads can and might cause problems for other cartos that are similar.

solution.. none that I know of. :(

This is just based on testing and might not be the cause of some issues that have been reported (note I do not mean just my stuff, I mean everywhere) it's been a mystery of why something works and then gets finicky. I think this is the cause. or at least one of them.

Don't know what the exact issue is... . Anyway, was just seeing if it was an isolated incident or not. Thanks.

So if I understand correctly, everything works if you use an adapter in certain setups? That makes sense if the center (positive) post on the XL3 just got pushed down a little. If you carefully pry it up with a jewelers screwdriver just a hair, as in 1mm, I bet it will start making contact with that T2 again. If you ever take one of these apart, you'll see that the center pin is just kind of floating in there in a silicone or rubber gasket so there is some play up and down with most center pins. But if you move it too far you'll break it.

And if this is the case then the solution or workarounds are either use adapters when needed or to try preventing pushing the pin down, never over tighten a carto onto a battery. I just tighten them enough until they make contact and work without being loose. And as Eric pointed out, this is a pretty common issue with all different products. I have a riva that no matter what carto or atty I screw on I always have to lift the center post the next time. Just be careful not to pry it up too far, take it slow, pry up a little then try it and see if it's fixed.

One more thing to try (first) is to screw the mouthpiece of the T2 on before putting it on the battery, this will make contact with the center pin in the T2 and might push it down slightly, it might be enough to make contact with the center pin on the XL3.

Hope something here helps, let us know.

edit: wow the formatting on this totally screwed up lol.

Yeah Eric I think you got it right. Virk I am going to try a couple things to get it to fire, but I think it's that T2 that got compressed as the other one works fine. I just got to figure out how to get it back down just a hair. The 510 to eGo connector appears to be taller than the XL3 mini's connector, but the tiny measuring tool (a dental pick) doesn't have mm's on it so just going off sight. If I come up with a solution, without breaking it of course, I will post back. Its not a big thing, but I do work with another vaporer that has modded some stuff so will get his help with figuring out an answer. The T2s are still awesome, they are my sole vapors right now. Nothing compares to the flavor and the vape. I have cartos that produce more vapor and throat hit (they are on a 10v ) but they have very muted flavors. For the amount of vapor and throat hit these produce at 3.7v it's a no brainer. Thanks everyone for the input!

eGo C Twists in stock...

However, I got hosed and must not have been paying attention, I ordered them from HelloSmoke and not JoyE.
I am not really sure how I did this, I assume I just mixed up the contacts.

anyway, they seem to perform just as well and the same, they lack the eGo Twist branding, but other than that they are identical.



I have placed them at a lower price to reflect it not being from JoyE.
I don't really think it matters, these things are copied all the time but still, you need to know if you are interested in them.

I also have new eGo passthroughs, "on the go" I call them. These have batteries in them and will be charged via the cable or a standard wall plug/cable set up. So if you carry the cable with you, you'll always be able to charge it or use it anywhere you go that has USB outlet. (like a car)

New Type, no longer is there a connector on the bottom with USB threads that can get broken of, now it's a small USB plug.

three different sizes, 650, 900 and 1100mah





last a new 1100mah Variable Voltage ego rubberized black

3-STAGE VARIABLE voltage output.
It ships in a default mode of low voltage (3.2v) indicated with a red.LED ring..
With five quick clicks of your batterie's manual switch, it changes to a pinkish/purple.LED ring which indicates medium voltage (3.7v).
Another quick 5 clicks and you are at the highest voltage (4.2v) indicated by a blue.LED ring..

BLUE.ring= 3.2v
PURPLE/PINK.= 3.7v
RED = 4.2v

If they are the same people that made the original Hello 016 Battery they should work good. I still have a Hello 1300 that I've been using for over a year and a half. They produced the first 1300 mah battery on the market.

Same as far as I know, everything I have ordered in the past is good and the build quality looks identical to joye so I think I'm safe, just a bit miffed from my mistake.
