WTF, how the hell do you vape 40mg liquid?! I can barely go above 10 without having to take a xanax. How much did you used to smoke?

I used to smoke 1/2 a pack of Marlboro Lights.
I recently went down to the high 20s and went back to around 40mg. Turned out that when I began vaping at lower nic levels that I was vaping 3 times as much.
At 40-50mg = I take a few drags and I'm good for awhile. It's also much harsher so you don't get into the constant vaping that many do at the lower MG.
In the Mid 20mg the E-cig is attached to my mouth.
Everyone has a different tolerance and effect from Nicotine.
Kudos to you if 10mg satisfies you. For me at 10mg I'd be vaping nonstop and if I were just beginning on E-Cig would be back to analogs before it could make your head spin.
I haven't Smoked Cigarettes for more than 3 Years and don't miss them.
What is there to work out? put a few shelves in put the product on display, vape in the profits
I'll let you know when I get it, thanks again. It should be in today
I dunno I vape just as much at 8 mg as I do at 27 mg how ever I could see 40 working for someone as long as they didn't chain vape they would be okay its when you start chain vaping at that you could get nic poisoning
Pretty much a perfect fit maybe a mm off but it fits well Just like a new modbox..
I'm getting mine in the mail tomarrow, but I'm wondering, has anyone found a case that works well? I figure my bet is just to keep the mod as is since the casing looks strong and just put the cart/atty in my usual ego case. But if anyone else has any suggestions, let me know.
They fit well in a large or extra large ego case I just keep mine in my pocket its rugged enough to take it
After using the mod for a day, what I've noticed is it really kicks up cartos. I have a few carts that don't generally draw well, but they perform much better on this vari cool. This mod can serious kick your ..., it satisfies cravings A LOT more than any that I've used. As advertised it keeps cool the whole time and doesn't feel like it's going to blow up at anytime. The circuitry is impressively secured. My main complaint is the battery compartment, it's very loose. On the other custom mods I've bought the cover is tight, it just isn't on this one. There is a spot for a screw, but it's not very practical if you change voltage a lot (there is a little wheel inside). That's just my 2 cents.
Not true,mine just stopped working after about 4 months.It seems the solder broke of the connector(just my guess)an there is no longer any power to the atty.The atty and batteries work fine in my other boxes.In fairness I'd like to say it did increase my battery life when it worked.
There goes the superior U.S. craftsmanship theory.
I'm going to be reviewing the Smoktek Smokbox Varicool 6Amp Beast this weekend. The results will be found on this thread.
I'll also be testing it versus a Provari in Xtreme Vaping and Battery life. It's going to be a hoot.

Thanks for taking the time to review this unit, I look forward to your results! (the good, the bad and the ugly)
no power to the atty or or the light no longer comes on.. if there is no power to the atty it may be you just need to pull the pin back up on the connector if the light doesn't come on then it could be the connector
Chuckie,
I sent you a PM. Please take a look at it and let me know what you would like to do. We would like the opportunity to make this right with you.

New to the Smokbox lineup, Transparent versions! Check these out, just in time for the Labor Day Sale!
Click on the pictures above to go directly to them on our site.
The clear models of the VariCool and 5V come in a new FlashBox model which has a color changing LED inside the box, between the button and connector. Pretty cool looking if you're into flashy! The other models have the same color LED as the box and matching buttons. If you also want a flashlight, the LED's on the blue and standard clear model are very bright, just so you know...
All models carry our 60 day warranty against workmanship and defect.
Get More Vapor!

Normal use,I've had it happen on another box but I resoldered it.It's a pain getting through the hot glue.
@Mogium
Been there done that.
Orion has offered to look at it and try to make it right,I think that's a fair offer.I'm mailing it back to him on tuesday.I'll let u know how it goes.
Just wanted to give you all a thumbs up. I've finished torture testing the 6 Amp Beast and I did a comparison to the Provari V2 in High voltage Vaping.
The complete results of my testing are found on this thread
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...k-smokbox-varicool-6amp-usa-mod-review-3.html
Synopsis: The maximum that the Provari v2 could go was
On a 1.8 Ohm Vivi Nova it did 5.5V // 2.75 Amps //15.1 Watts
on a Dual Coil 1.5 Ohm it did 4.9V // 3.2 Amps //16 Watts
The Smoktek Smokbox Varicool 6 Amp Beast
On a 1.8 Ohm Vivi Nova it did 6.4V // 3.2 amps // 20 Watts
On a Dual Coil 1.5 Ohm it did 6.2V // 4 Amps // 26 Watts
For Xtreme Vaping the Provari V2 at 3X the price couldn't compete with the 6 Amp beast.
In real world tests 6 Amp Beast generated around 25% more Amps and around 50% more Watts under Xtreme Vaping Conditions.
To take it to the next level I'm going to have to find a 1.25 Dual Coil Cartomizer, as nothing that I put on the Beast took it beyond what it could do easily. I got tired of puffing the 1.5Ohm Dual Coil Cartomizer, and the Plastic on the side did start to melt, so I guess a 1.5 Dual at 6.2V is pretty extreme!!
I was using a Tobacco liquid with PG and Vg and the house was totally stunk up by the end of the test, so I got a good bawling out from the wife.

Thanks for yet another great review Tom! I'm very happy to hear the results. I have two questions; what batteries were used in the test, and what happened to the 1.25 dual coil carto I sent with this unit?
Hi Rob, I'm ahead of you, I just revised my review to include the batteries used and the chargers, in addition I found the 1.25 Dual this morning and did a test with it. Since you asked the results of the test are below.
Batteries used were all AW
For the Provari AW 18650 2000mAH
For the 6 Amp Beast Two AW IMR 14650 600Mah Batteries.
1.25 Dual Coil Cartomizer Results
You ever feel unsatisfied. Well I was feeling unsatisfied because I hadn't tested this unit on a Dual Coil 1.25 Cartomizer, which is the absolute maximum that you can go in xtreme vaping. I went on the Internet to look for one. Than I thought, why don't I double check the Cartomizers that Smoktek sent me. Lo and behold their was a Dual Coil 1.25 Cartomizer.
I'm going to do a very quick test.
The Provari showed the Cartomizer at 1.3OHM but I'm going to assume that because it doesn't show 3 digits that this cartomizer is performing at 1.25 Dual Coil.
The Provari went up to 4.5V and errored out on anything higher.
So 4.5V 3.6Amps and 16.1 Watts is the maximum the Provari can do. The chip is rated for 3.5Amps so the provari with this Cartomizer was brought just a tad above it's chip limitation and refused to go further.
Now for the Smoktek
At 5.2V it pulled 4.9 under Load
At 6.1 it pulled 5.8V under load
At 6.3 it pulled Solid 6V under load, It's so hot that I'm burning my lips but I'll try to see if I can last for 10 seconds. Sorry the maximum that I could go was 8 seconds. It's just so hot, but it maintained a solid 6.0 the whole time
Now we take it to the Max 6.6V
It started at 6.2V than down to 6.1 v at around 8 seconds and than to 6.0V
I'm going to make the statement that the 6.2V and 6.1V is the maximum it will go
But for a stable vape 6.0V is it.
The Beast does as advertised
6V 4.8Amps and 28.8 Watts Stable
It maxes out at
6.2V 30.6 Watts and 4.96 Amps but won't remain stable.
Conclusion:
The 6 Amp Beast will provide stable 6V vaping on the Lowest Dual Cartomizer that is standard in the Market.
The Provari V2 Wimps out at 4.5V, It's 3.5 Amp Chip limits it to this level.
