We have now reached our 1st 50 customers. So the store opening contest is now closed.

The first 50 customers will be eligible to receive a 50 Cal by answering a qualifying Q. That is right a 50 Cal. When placing your order, please respond in the note box with your answer.

The Q -- How many steps/procedures does it take me to complete a 50 Calibre from start to finish? (Polishing and cleaning do not go into this equation). Straight machining operations. The closest answer will receive the prize. Worth playing for? The 50 Cal will retail for $89.99

Since the majority of folks placing their orders did not answer the skill testing Q, we will do a random draw between the 1st 50 customers to decide who the winner is. I thanks everyone who has placed orders with us and hope you call again soon.

BTW the correct answer was 59 different processes go into making the 50 calibre.

Doh! Forgot about that quiz question. . oh well, given that I know nothing of machining I'd probably have been way off anyway.

It depends what folks are used to I guess Eric. I vape my own liquids 70/30 @ 6mg and find plenty of satisfaction, except during the moon phases, where I vape 8mg tobaccos at 4.2 - 4.5V. I normally vape the eGo my GTD so 3.7V is always a welcome addition on those moon days - if not then the Lava tube does the job well and of course the kick set @ 7.5 - 8W on the 50 cal. That being said YMMV. The Smoov cartos meter out at 2.2/3Ohms

Ah, so they're more or less LR cartos. That makes a big difference. What sort of battery life do you get? Are they PWM regulated?

In days of old a 2.2 Ω anythign would be considered LR. These days 2.2Ω = SR when compared to a few years ago where SR was 3Ω. Wrt battery life aprtially charged battery (fresh out of box = 4 hrs. I will know more later. PWM I don't think so but when I get them on my oscilloscope I will know more.

True, but the key here is that the Volt, Bloog, V3, et al. all use 2.6-3.0ohm cartos, which is why the vape is kind of anemic. 2.2ohm however would produce a much more satisfying vape I would think -- though likely at the expense of battery life unless those Smoovs have an efficient regulator up in those tubes.

Hey Switched, not sure why but you have options to choose "black or white" for both Wicking material & Nichrome Wire

[ukeman]

thanks switched, i got my i06 1.8's ordered .... i was worried that i'd be SOL with them being hard to get, but great to know these are available

 

[Switched]

No problem good buddy. You guys cleaned me out this WE with Isaac being down. I have more on the way though. As in the Godfather, I made Isaac a deal he couldn't refuse

 

[Madagain]

Would there be any chance of getting 4 26650 protected batteries and a charger for them by the end of April or close to it? *crosses his fingers*

 

[therealcmac]

Thanks for the bonus DT with my drip shield Switcher I manged to lose one of the o-rings in the DS when i was cleaning it out with some tissue, once i realized this I dug through my garbage for 10 minutes......and found it! YAY! Still trying to get the rotten banana smell off my hands though haha. Looking forward to getting my I06!

Ahh good buddy unfortunately no. I don't have them in stock and the W-188s were back ordered but on their way (on a slow boat from China)

No problem my good man, what we do for vaping eh? A little lemon juice should help in that dept. That IO6 is going to have you spoiled for life

 

[5cardstud]

I got my package and thanks for the great drip tip Buddy. Yours have larger o rings and the one I had kept coming out but the one you sent stays put. I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to even try the Imist but I'm coming to and end with all these damn PCs so that's next on the list. I got stuff from before your order I still haven't tried. I do thank you a bunch Buddy.
