Suggestions for first time E-Power user?

[SummerDawn]

Hey all. Per suggestions from this forum, I just ordered an E-Power starter kit from Liberty Flights as my first step up from KR808D-1 models. They were out of stock on the 18650 starter, so I settled on the 14650 (as well as a boatload of juice from Kick Bass, Vapor Bomb, and AVE). I would like to hear any and everyone's tips, tricks and suggestions for a first time user. Thanks advance.

Hey SummerDawn, I've had my Epower 14650 for about a month and a half, and really do love it. It has been everything that I had hoped it would be. The one weak point that I have found is the battery charger that comes with the kit. Mine quit working after about a week. I got mine through madvapes and made out a ticket on the faulty charger. Hoogie had a replacement in the mail the next day. The batteries that come with the kit are ok, but IMR replacement from Electonicstix will give you a much longer use per charge. It's always good to have spares anyway. Aside from those issues (which are minor) it's a great unit. If you want a real all day vape, order some EMDCC cartos and a V2 shorty adapter (which is necessary for those cartos on the Epower) and you are good to go for 8-10 hours.

BTW where do you live in Wyoming. I grew up in Saratoga, though that was MANY years ago.

How does the spacing look after you add the V2 shorty? An EMDCC fits flush and pretty on a standard ego/riva, just like the XL type B attys.

Hey Gadd, thanks for your suggestions! I'm going to be putting in an order for a spare batt charger, replacement batteries, the EMDCC cartos, and the adapter. :] You have been a huge help.

What are your thoughts on using a drip tip with the E-Power?

Renstyle.. With the EMDCC in place, the Epower looks fine to me. The threads for the cone do show, but because the large carto is the same diameter as the threads, it still looks good. Does not detract from the appearance to any significant degree. IMO

I do not drip much, except to try out new flavors. I find it too messy for my liking. That said, I have dripped with Epower and should be no issue as it is a sealed unit. I always use drip tips with my cartomizers just because they are more to my liking than the rubber caps. The EMDCC come with a rubber tip. The original ones were a whistle tip design, but the newer ones are like the pawns. I prefer the whistle tip style so I am keeping the tips when I order new EMDCC's. That may be a while though because these things are long lived. I'm still using two that I got over a month ago. Cleaned them once, which was easy, and still going strong. I ordered 8 when I made my order and still have two brand new ones still in the wrapper. They are great and a perfect partner for the Epower.
HAPPY VAPING

Awesome, thank you for all your help. I ordered some anodized drip tips from Liberty Flights and they are the pawn shape, although I think I too might prefer a whistle shape. Does anyone sell them anymore that you know of?

Nitelite vapor sells whistle tips for 510 and I think 901. You can get them in anodized too, I believe. They also sell some really great liquids. Bounty Hunter is their flagship flavor and has gotten a real following. I like it OK, but it's not my favorite, but I do really like the US Marshall. Mostly tobacco flavs, but definitely good ones, and inexpensive.

Thanks Gadd!

Oh and btw, I live in Jackson. I attended my first year at UW in Laramie before transferring to CU for my last 3 years, and while there I went to Saratoga on almost a weekly basis to hit up the hot springs. ;] Lovely place, Saratoga.
