Old lurker, 1st post, frustrated and venting.

I never have problems with the batteries, it's always the attys or carts. Carts are no big deal as they aren't as expensive. I've looked at mods but was uneasy about that since I want to order something NOW and it should be something I'm mostly familiar with. I will take a look at the great suggestions you have posted here. I don't know of any local shops.. I have a friend who sells (who got me hooked on this in the 1st place a year ago) but only 808 and no juice. Anyone know of anyplace in Seattle?

Stuff happens. QC will always lag somewhere at sometime and a lemon will get thru.

You get one carto bad in a pack of ten, yes it sucks but, you have nine other chances rest will be good.

Cant say same for batteries unless you order alot but, at price of ego batteries, who orders five or ten at a time?

Figures all of those places are at least a 30-45 min freeway drive away. Thanks though! Hey, maybe I should start another business?

Hey, that's not bad. I drive 180 miles round trip other day to KVC to get some stuff. I get sick of waiting for little white truck to show up at mailbox.

Not a bad idea on the biz and you're welcome

then I recommend a Maxi Roughstack V2. I say Maxi because the 18650 battery will run a lot longer then the 16340 that the regular mod takes, plus you can stack batteries for 6V, or use a 4.8V battery. For roughly, $40-60, your headaches and frustration would disappear.

I second this. I battled with mini's for months until I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Roughstack. from the moment I received it my hardware struggles were over. The only thing I had to concern myself with after that was consumables (juice/Boge 2.0) and vaping. I bought the smaller Roughstack because it was more discrete and never really had a problem with battery life. I bought my Mother a mini-kit for Christmas and now my RS is going to her. ...already. She loves it. Even if it's not a RS, a mod should be in your future.

I understand you're pain!! I've been there and done that. I started with the 510 stick and was unhappy with that, graduated to the ego and lived with its problems. Now it's all good with a Provari I got for Christmas. Hang in there, with all the help from ECF!!

I agree with ruet, Boge LR cartos are the way to go. I use them on my silver bullet and they work great.

Sorry about all your problems. I went straight to a Mod when I began vaping and have been relatively happy. As far as batteries go after 3 + months 4 X 18650 batts- 1 dead and the other 3 discharging quickly and after some research found that upgrading my batts was the way to go. As for delivery systems I stay away from tanks and use cartos and have been very pleased. Started with Boges and now use SmokTech Mega cartos- don't really need a tank cuz of the size of them. If I were to ever graduate to a tank system it would be an add on.
Good Luck.
