I need some help with a couple of things I can't figure out, please someone. :) I have all the adapters and I want to use the GoGo battery with some of my eGo stuff and the ePower cartos. I can't get anything to work not even when I add a 510 to 510 or 510 to eGo on top of the GoGo to 510. Any suggestions?

If you have more than one of the Go-Go to 510 adapters, try a different adapter. I have two, and one works all the time, perfectly. The other one, not so much. Adapters seem to be fickle things.

Also I want to use my VV eGo PT with the ePower cartos but I can't get it to work unless it's hooked up to my computer's USB port which I've read isn't a good thing to do. I've tried different AC adapters/wall socket, all 5v, but none work and all it does is blink blue 3 times. It works great on the computer though. What do you guys think of using the PT on my computer? It's a new laptop and I hate to take the chance of burning up the USB port or worse.

I had the same issue. What you need is a 2amp wall wart. Most of the AC adapters we have are not 2amp. I picked up a wall wart for the iPad, marked as 2amp, and now my PT works beautifully.

Just had my first experience using WePay and I must say I like it a lot. Not sure how much easier if any it is for Eric but it is a painless effort on the customers part! :thumb:

Onto other matters, as Angel mentions, all adapters I have ever used are "iffy". Thankfully for the price Eric sells them at, buying 2 at a time is good practice. They all seem to have some little quirks that can make them hair pullers and again, at these prices, if you need an adapter, grab two.

I love the 510 to Go-cart adapters as they allow me to use my Chopper and Go-carts on virtually anything I have. One tip on them, "just in case", is that the contact post on the carto side is slotted. That is for intake apparently as you don't adjust them with it. The center post will jump out of its place if you do.

It is connected to the bottom post by a wire so it will go right back into place but! If this happens, notice there is a short insulator sleeve on that plug. Make sure when reseating it that the sleeve remains between the plug/post and the adapter body. That small sleeve is what keeps positive and negative separate and if not reseated just right, you will get a short. For most folks and especially old goats with bad eyes like me, best to just sit it aside if you can't be sure the insulator is in place.

For what they allow us to do and the potential consequences of a short, best to just use your second one. This is is no way a reflection on Eric nor anything to do with his operation. It's just a simple fact that whether you buy reasonably priced adapters like Eric sells or pay a premuim from elsewhere, adapters are cheap! Think of them as being as disposable as a cartomizer. They aren't made to last but the options that they allow make them very worthwhile to have - Just be sure to get 2. ;)

Thanks in advance. :)

I may have missed this in our email discussions but the Passthroughs are specifically made for use with a computers USB port, not a wallwart. (wall plug)

Wall Plugs are ALL made differently with different milliamp ratings.
Thats why the iPad one with 2amp works for you because it is supplying extra power. The wall plugs you have (from me most likely) are not supplying enough.

The USB port on your computer supplies a constant 5Volts at 500 milliamps (1/2 amp) which is what the passthroughs are made for. The wall chargers I sell are all 500 milliamp but that is not always the case, these devices are not exact. They are only for use in charging the batteries and nothing else.

Plugging a passthrough into the computers USB port will not burn, fry or damage it in any way, laptop, tablet or home computer as the passthrough is designed to use a standard USB port.

Please note: I recommend you ONLY use the passthroughs on a computer.
This doesn't mean you can't or it won't work on something else (obviously from posts above) , only that this is what it was made for. I can actually use mine with the car USB adapter but it does not work on the wall chargers (I tested it also)

I am sorry I didn't catch this earlier, I just assumed it didn't work on your computer.

Aditionally, do not plug these into a USB hub, powered or not, only a native on board USB plug on a computer or laptop.

Has anyone that has gotten the dual coil from Eric looked to see if they would fit in the tank?If so how good is it?

The dual coil is much too big for that, wouldn't leave much for liquids. The dual coil I have is the same diameter as the Go-go battery. You'd need a bigger tank and it already holds 5-6ml so there isn't much reason to IMHO.

OH MY GOODNESS

I have been vaping my new "Pizza" non freaking stop. I am so addicted it isn't even funny.
It is more like this:

than this:

But oh my I am sooo addicted to this.
Will anyone want to try this?

I know it sounds a bit gross, but it's not.
My first taste was like, yechhh, then, I stepped away from it and still tasted it in my mouth, a few minutes later I tried it again... same reaction, then I just kept going back to it and now I am hooked. I actually feel like I have had a meal after vaping it.

I think I am going to call it "Pizza Bread Sticks" because that's what it reminds me of, a nice well seasoned bread stick. More on the seasoning flavor than the bread. This one beats my cinnamons that I have been addicted to.

I am not pumping this up, I realize everyone's tastes are different but I have to say, it's my best yet. The base is from TFA so you could make it yourself but I did tweak it a bit, like I do everything.

I am going to put it on the website, but I do not have labels for it yet, so if anyone orders, you might get a hand lettered bottle. I recommend that you let it steep a day or so before using.

I am putting this in a Chopper Tank until I get totally sick on pizza (oh, maybe sick is a bad choice of words... LOL) :)

Eric, over the last couple of years here there have been MANY posts about people who have used the PT on their computer USB port and either blown the port or even fried their mother board. It's been highly recommended not to use them on computers. I'll see if I can find some of the threads and send them to you. My computer is new and I just hate to take that chance.
