OK maybe it's just me

[TheVTech]

I cannot for the life of me figure out what half of the mods and cleaning and other things here are that people are talking about.

1) Keeping the condom on for vape tests?
2) How do you clean a cart?
3) Cutting the condom in half??

Any videos for those of us who are image challenged by words?
Thanks!

 

[Taryn]

I don't do videos but maybe someone who does will step up to the plate, if not I'll be happy to throw more words at you

 

[TheVTech]

Thanks Taryn, I know I can always count on ya. LOL

A mod is anything used to power an atomizer that is not a factory made battery. They typically use a higher voltage and vape more/last longer.
Do a search for Chuck and Silver Bullet or even Protege on the forums. Or better yet scan through the modders forum her on ecig.

The "condom" is the rubber piece that comeson the cartomizer's when new. You can poke a hole in one then you can let a stranger use it without getting germs.

Don't know about cutting a condom in half.

Washing, well think a bit on that one.

I was under the impression "mod" was just short for modify or modified. For instance, the 'teabag mod' is to replace the batting in the carto with a teabag filler...

Was this just a transition from batteries being the only mods back in the day?

 

[Taryn]

Mod is just short for modification. Both the battery mods and any adjustment you make to your PV constitutes a mod.

Thanks guys, I guess I need to be more detailed and not so lazy in my typing.
I understand MOD as I mod my computer cases and other items or have over the years.

I'm just having a hard time visualizing what individuals are stating for their mod or trick. So was wondering if videos were out there for them.

Cleaning still has me baffled unless you are meaning that literal of cleaning the cotton like material? While still in the cart case?? Details are missing for me that would help make these more understandable as I'm not the one doing the mod and new to these processes for V4L style cartos as Blu's didn't have anything you could really do for a mod like we can with V4L.
Make sense?

Check out the video post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...deo-care-feeding-cartomizers-parts-1-2-a.html

It covers refills, a "carto condom" mod, and cleaning.

Thanks for the link I sent it to a friend that's a bit challenged but too far away for me to go over and show her how. Explaining it all was driving me nuts

w00t I knew it wasn't just me!!!
Um...that's a good thing right?8-o

Of course it is VTech, you just keep telling yourself that.

You are not alone VTech... and this might make you feel better. When I first ordred from V4L I had a battery from somewhere else so I only ordered carts and juice. Well I read Taryn's thread that's a sticky at the top, titled "My Refilling Trick". In that thread she talks about putting her cart in the battery bag and spinning it. Well my first battery came in a small ziplock baggie, which I had saved. So I tried putting the cart in that bag and spinning it. It didn't work very well to say the least. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong. My next order from V4L I did order a battery and when the order came, much to my surprise there was a "battery bag". Once I saw the bag I felt like a real idiot, but did have a good laugh over it.

Now you know you are not alone. Sometimes seeing something instead of just reading it, makes it a whole lot easier to understand.

 

[Taryn]

I was only a couple of weeks into vaping when I wrote that, so I really wasn't as clear as I could have been in that thread.

 

[WitchWay]

It really was funny and you did make perfect sense. I just hasn't seen the right kind of battery bag at the time LOL I now have two bags and fill them both up with 3 carts each and spin together. Love the spin trick! Now I combine the plunger trick and the spin trick together.

 

[Joe Camel]

I don't do videos

you should though

 

[sawlight]

Thats what I've been saying! Might even have to open the wallet and pay for that

 

[scuzzy19]
