At the risk of getting my wrist slapped by the mods for doing 3 separate posts in a row - let me thank whoever posted about the Panny's on sale the other day. Mine arrived today.

Do we have too many batteries? Between Janet and me we have 40 in rotation and another 8 in the zombie drawer. They still work but don't hold the charge as long anymore. Ok I'm annal and I track them - these 8 range from 282 to 460 days old.

Lol. Keep up with political realities that I've been keenly aware of for the last 20 years? OK. No problem. Take those realities elsewhere? Why? They remain reality and nothing has changed. The USPS rocks. The attempts to take it down are greed-driven and nothing else. The USPS will do just fine without interference, as it as has done since its founding by Ben Franklin.

I got those AG whatever things coming..................

That would be an AGA-T2 with pyrex tank. I'm waiting on a couple more of them and a couple IGo-L dripping RBAs from the same co-op.

Now, you're going to learn what frustration is really all about. These work well, in a blind vaping test I'd wager one could not tell the difference between the AGA (retail ~$25) and a ZAP, Cobra or DID (~$150-$200).

First, they have tiny screws on the positive post. Second, its well known that the wick sits a bit too far from the positive post. This causes a 'long' lead from the post to the wick which has a nasty habit of 'glowing' and making it frustration to tweak/prod/poke the coil into submission. Two ways to correct it 1.) bend the wick toward the center post to shorten the lead 2.) add tiny washers (2.5-3mm) under the top screw. The washers extend the positive contact area to eliminate a smidge of the wire in 'open air'.

Here's a pic I may have posted earlier showing the additional washers. This is a spiffy-washer-mod because I also add a cut down spring from a cheap ballpoint pen then I don't have to mess with the little screw. I can just trap the pos lead between the spring-loaded washers. The spring trick isn't needed but I do recommend adding the washers. PM me your mailing addy and I can send you some of the washers.

Well.... I'm now a happIER vaper! Volt no longer. eGOs, Kanger T2s and CE5s in use. And lawsy what a difference these minor changes have made. WHEW..... Now if my IBtanks will get here, I can check those out and prolly move up another tiny step :)

I do have a question tho.... I noticed that the T2s have very short wicks at the top, and therefore require tipping regularly. For those who use these same clearomizers, do you have a pref between the CE5 and the T2?

AND.. I like the manual batt on the eGO bettah. And the CELTIC is soooooo pretty. :) I thought the fatter batt might bother me, but nope. Like it alot!

    Mike I'm almost positive hubby has tiny washers out in his garage but if not I will PM you and thanks!!

    Tiny-tiny and stainless steel - not plain steel or galvanized.

    oh - and if anyone else has an AGA-T and need some little washers get in touch w/ me.

    If you had a grasp on the tiniest part of even one of the issues involved, your post might be worth a response. As it is: those who have no desire to know the truth are not worth the expense of time and effort. We will continue to carry on despite those who are so gullible as to have been sold down the river of ignorance. Your so-called "logic" contains not one shred of logic.

    My apologies for offending you. As you yourself said "the majority of USPS's financial woes were brought on by a greedy Congress in 2006. "Hey, the Post Office has money! Let's take it from THEM". And I concur in that I believe that most businesses are more efficiently and effectively managed by the private sector, rather than our government. Just my humble and ignorant opinion, of course.

    Have a good evening.

    Yay!!!!! Natasha no longer frustrated with shopping and vaping happily!!!

    between the T2 and CE5/stardust.......I prefer the stardust and I use the longer wicks, so not quite as much tilting needed. Just my preference ;)

    LOL... No frustration ATM, but the shopping has not yet stopped!

    So... the CE5 is aka "stardust"?

    ATM, the T2s seem to have a bit more flav. I get an OCCASIONAL "burnt" taste w/ the CE5. But, I also read that this is not uncommon for the 1st tank of juice w/ a clearo. The T2 def tastes better right now. Howev, I like the fact that I can change the drip tips on the CE5.

    And y'all know what I forgot to buy?? A freaking syringe w/ a needle nose tip. Bought from 4 diff places and did not buy a dadgum syringe. I did find this bulbous thingy in my kitchen... I guess it's some sort of mini-baster of some sort, never have used it.... and it works for now. But really... no syringe? Pffft

    OK, now. What's all this stuff about carts and attys? I've used only clearomizers in my 20+ days history of vaping exclusively. Lol. I know nothing of anything other than clearomizers and I know there's a lot to learn, but I've been happy with the Ce4/s, the T3, and the big-... 6ml whatever-it-is that I've got.

    I still have my Volts, and just recently bought a Volt Spinner with some T3s from SI. Sort of my last hurrah!

    I am so happy you like the manual Ego.....especially the Celtic......it's just about one of the smartest ones I've seen!

    I happen to like the T2s. For some reason, they perform better for me than the T3s and yet I love the Evods....go figure!
