I have yet to try a bottom coil although it has always perked my interest!

Kanger has two bottom coil clearos the TO and the T3. The TO has the plunger and the T3 has the same shape as the T2 and holds 2.4 ml.

I got a pack of 5 of the Kanger TO's and used 2 of them. I liked the vape, but the plunger got old after a few days. The thing that turned me off was the amount of leaking every time I filled it. It seemed to get worse with subsequent fillings. I'm giving the other 3 away - today in fact.
 
I like cheap shipping ... what vendor?

hey I'm sorry! I thot I added it was ecigcharleston (like BWhare said!) :confused:
I think I should be set hardware wise for a little while (esp if I quit readin' bout all the new stuff "youse" all try!) -
I have 4 mini vivi's in use and 4 spare. The Twist is going to be sent back as it's havin' issues ... It doesn't know when to stop firin'!
Last night used it it for a couple hours and had 3 incidents of it stayin' stuck on til I bumped the button again.

Thinkin' while it's a fine set up - I don't see any advantage to "lockin'" the settin of the eGo-VV - that subtle button is still a pain.
May put that up on the PIF Treasure Chest - unless there is a taker here that would like to try it. (Pass it around the world!) ETA: tis on it's way to another home :cool:

Hi y'all,
I'm new here and an older dude..LOL

but be warned: hangin' out with this gang can be dangerous for your pocketbook! :laugh:

It's gotta be hard to see your family goin' thru this w/ your dad. I'm thankful my dad went very suddenly (young) and unexpectedly.
Whether it's quick or prolonged - there is just no preparing for that final moment. We watched 3 other family members with cancer - less than 2 years from diagnosis. Everyone was sure my hubs was going to be the first / next. Like Deb said - you'll find support here.
Our realtor's Bro-n-law was diagnosed on Monday - the following Sunday he passed away.

Sorry to hear Salt :(

And good to hear that he does us a PV when in bed.
Where is that "What THEY said" button? Who knows, given a little time - he may go 100% to the PV! :)

What's the story w/ these? Do you just fill from the bottle or needle?

Let me know when so I can set my DVR. BTW Great drawing of the mad scientist {Janet} in lab!

I see we both love our water! :) I do prefer the Dunk/Donuts blended at 50/50 with sweetener!!

Donut shop is good too!
I get the 80 count K-cups from Sam's - better price than Keurig. But usually do a Keurig variety order 2 times a year.
Love their Butterscotch (out now - bummer) as a night cap! Haven't tried Dunkin' yet. Bro-n-law like "Half Caf" ...

I'll leave the coffee maker & supplies for the "noon crowd"! Gotta finish chores now that the fountain float is fixed!
Have a good day all!

Don't work to hard Mul! :p
 
Iffy: been meaning to ask - just what is that BIG long black carto called? Haven't tried it yet ...


Mini vivi users: How often do you 'clean' em? Do they last longer if you use a higher pg ratio?
From what I've been readin' it looks like my clearo's are short lived bcs of the higher VG use. I have spent myself too far out so I want to be sure I take the best possible care of what I have. I suspect after my last 'spending binge' I'm about even w/ what the counter says I should have saved! (Wait! Take that back! Can't put a price on better breathin'!) :vapor: :laugh:

That's an eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer (eMDCC). It's the most fuss free device I've found. I start my v-verts on 'em. That carto is very rugged and easy to maintain.

Several eMDCC notes:

DO NOT fire 'em dry! If ya do, toss it (burnt filler taste).
They will hold 4-5ml on the initial fill.
Ensure the filler material is completely damp. Let sit and soak several minutes on the initial fill.
Keep joose out of da center tube. Gently blow out any joose if you can't see light through da tube.
Top off when flav and/or vapor wanes.

When I was using 'em, they would last me at least a month in my rotation. I still use 'em when I'm out boating/fishing. Although some other devices may give a bit more flav, this is the 'blue collar' carto that works hard fer ya!

Kico - I have only had mine about a month & half. I have not cleaned them yet. I use a 50/50 mix and unfortunately do not know if that makes a difference or not. I do have one to take apart as my wife does not like the juice I put in it anymore. After experimenting with two other tanks (not mini vn's) I feel somewhat more comfortable cleaning and re-wicking if needed. I work all weekend and clean it Monday night! I am right up there with you spending more on vapors than smokes... And you are right breathing better is priceless!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

I got 2 about a month ago and have been using them all the time with either 70/30 or 60/40. I've taken the outer tank off and patted the wicks with a paper towel which seems to take off most of the dark stuff and then just fill them up again. I replaced 1 head, but that was totally my fault. I tried to pull out the wick and pulled out the whole coil - DUH! Didn't think I pulled that hard, don't know what i was thinking. Anyway, popped a new head on that one and was good to go. The other head is still fine - so far.

Sometimes when I unscrew the top to refill, the post also twists and you can't really tell that's happened. I take a puff and nothing. Unscrew the top, take off the little silicone fitting, stick a screwdriver (or blunt kitchen knife) in the slots and tighten the tube, screw the top back on and it works like new. If Mike didn't tell me it just needed to be tightened I might think that the whole unit was toast.

Ok - so what is the + to that as say compared to the vivi's? (So glad I CAN NOT buy anything right now! LOL! But I have a wish list!)

The difference is the T3 has a bottom coil design. I prefer bottom coil cartomizers but haven't found a bc clearo so far that doesn't have one problem or another. I do like the bc ce3's except they need a needle to fill and are not as easy to clean as other clearo's plus they don't hold enough juice for me.
I do like the Vision Nova's and they have worked very good for me but I'm still looking for a bc design that works as well.

What the difference in how the CE3 clean compared to the others?

Mike what is that new thingy on your Provari?

G'mornin everyone & Happy Friday!!!

It's a Z-Atty-Pro by Zen~

It'a very well made to fit the Provari giving it a hybrid look. It has a 3ml pyrex tank (stock) and an SS tank optional.

You have to wiggle the tube off of the base, and use something like the eraser end of a pencil to push the seal out to clean them really well, whereas with the vivi and new stardusts you just unscrew everthing.
