Didn't want to break the clearo or the eGo since the spare is charging. As for the dog (Standard poodle)...he has a touchy stomach, didn't want him to be farting all night, it scares the toy poodles.

No way I'd plug chargers or pass-thru's into my computers. Ain't plugging an inexpensive piece of gear made in China in my expensive computer (likely made in China) but you know what i mean. :oops:

I quit using my laptop as a charger or as a pass thru about a year ago, but I was at the house I am renovating and the charger was at the other house and I was on my last batt. My plan was to do it one more time and only charge it enough to get me back home (it had worked plenty of other times with no problem). It fried the laptop at around the 30min mark...

I'm going to have to design a soft washer type do hicks to put between the Protank and battery so if muffles the air intake. When I clasp my hand around there it's a lot better and it's quieter too. Taste is above average so no complaints but I'll still say Atties, especial RBA, are better delivery system when you have a good one working right.

    Nah... prolly not. I bought 4 6 wks ago, and one is already completely dead, won't recharge. The other 3 I now have to charge more than once during the day, rotating all 3. I may well have just used em up already! They don't seem to last terribly long, IMO.

    Strange. I thought the Volts lasted a lot longer than that. Are you sure they're not knock offs?

    You know, for a smart man, the husband can be incredibly stupid some times! He 'suggested' that with 400ml of juice total, I have enough at the rate I vape to NOT buy anymore for at least a year..or ever! I did not hit him with my eGo, or rub him down with a raw steak and let the dog at him....


    WELL... next time you are able to leave the house when he is going to be left home alone, accidentally drop his car keys and the TV remote in your purse. Leave your cell phone in the kitchen. It's painful and it's legal.

    I don't have a problem with the air intake using it on my Vamo although I've heard a couple of others not liking the airy draw. I did however have some gurgling as I got to the bottom of the tank and then some leaking. I refilled and it continued to leak so I changed heads and now it is working fine again. I guess I will have to try it a little longer before I retire my other tanks. lol

    Well I was operating blind about putting the innards in. Had to use a magnifying glass to look at pictorial instruction number 3. Honestly, I don't know if it's in right. Will revisit it all when it's empty and or ure a thing needs to be used a repeatedly before it's ayes or no. Right now it's still a yes even if I don't know if I assembled it right because I can clasp my hand around the connection t o fix. But if mine leaked I'd send it back. But mine came directly from china. Sorry to hear yours is leaking. Maybe a thread or caught and it's not screwed all the way down. The threads aren't exactly buttery smooth type thing. I keep in mind it's price. Oops. Oh it's working fine not threads good. Innards. Hmmmm. Well. Its going to have to evolve however it evolves as far as my use of it. I'm not going to be giving it extra attention and I'll be using it when I feel like vaping that free sample I put in it. Removing it from my Vamo to replace with my Phoenix clone RBA for whatever. Its fine though. There should be more styles no doubt. I'm hoping to do a RBA Pyrex tank set up instead eventually. Might even go up to $60 for a decent uncomplicated good one. The Pro Tanks vapor production couldn't really get a whole lot better without being over kill iIMO

    i burnt a double stacked usb port on the left side of my laptop out,computer store told me it would cost over 400.00 to fix it.

    i'll never plug any e-cig crap in to it again,i only have one usb port left that i plug my mouse in to,if i burn my computer up i will never afford another one,my daughter gave me this one.

    i could buy a usb hub,but it is just more junk on my kitchen table.

    Looking on the bright side, glad that it only caused the destruction of one USB port and didn't disable your computer entirely!
