I've tried your ego and 510 so you can't say that, even though it was just a drag or two :p

If I want to I can cough my brains out from the TH and also get so much nic I can't see straight from my 28 mg juice, I can see why you'd need 5v with the kool-aid you vape :D


I'll bet Marshall Applewhite would have loved my Kool-Aid juice :)

After reading all the comments I may be up to try one now, anyone know who sells real good ones here in Canada?

I'm surprised that Nanovapor didn't mention his PV which is certainly a Golden Greek (GG) going by his avatar and varing volts capability. I've sort of stumbled upon this GG personal vapor just by posting in the Australian forum. This page is a general rundown in the GG (GGTS) Golden Greek Telescopic Storm | The Golden Greek Ecig with links to worldwide suppliers and a GG wiki (all your research in one place!)

Can handle any atomizer model type which is about as flexible as it gets and hand crafted for esthetics, again how nice a PV can you get?

There are different models and price ranges $80 - 190 about and all models do the varing volts thing. For the vendors, none in Canada and the US vendor doesn't ship to Canada but the Australian supplier does (and also the Aussie one DOESN'T ship to the US lol). The Canadian dollar is close to being on par with Australia.

Getting various volts depends on which batteries you drop into the cylinder which can all be purchased at Happy Vaper. There is the ECF subforum too: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/

This would be one of your options kingcobra and I woudln't worry about being a noob of any sort on this forum - I think the forum member population has a LARGE new vapers demographic.

It seems the majority of the people who go after mods are also those who used to drip. I tried to drip a few times with my 801, and it killed my atty. Plus, it was just too inconvient and too expensive to replace those attys. I've since graudated to an ego with boge 510 cartos and I've found my niche with it. I tried an ego-t, and it was ok, but still prefer my boge cartos on my ego 900 mah battery. Like many have said, to each their own. I don't find myself being anywhere near as inconvienced with my ego as I was with my 801. It works all day with no recharge, don't need to carry an extra battery, and I only have to top it off a few times a day. Comapred to carring 5 or 6 extra batteries + same # of cartridges, 2 or 3 extra attys, plus having to top off the cartridges every 10 minutes that I had to do with the 801. I'm in my own personal vaping heaven with this and don't think I will need to change any time soon. Just my $.02

Thanks to the people who have helped out. I know people have said that it's no trouble importing hardware but I've also heard stories where hardware only was seized. Now when you're talking $200+ that doesn't turn me on too much. It's too bad there's such limited hardware for sale in Canada, with almost all of it being directed at first timers, I guess I am getting the itch a bit to try something else out but I guess there's not enough of us around.

Here's the quote from the HC website:

These products come as electronic cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and pipes, as well as cartridges of nicotine solutions and related products. These products fall within the scope of the Food and Drugs Act, and under the Act, require market authorization before they can be imported, advertised or sold. The sale of these health products is currently not compliant with the Food and Drugs Act since no electronic smoking products have been granted a market authorization in Canada.

So that means that at least according to them, no electronic cigarette product can be imported. So as always it's a matter of them catching it and seizing it or sending it back but according to this they can do it, so it's a crapshoot it seems.

After looking around the provari might be worth a try, I really like that you can get an adapter for the ego-t and I really like the tanks and can't get my head around using filler crap yet. So you can select the voltage, not sure I'd want to run higher than what the ego batteries put out, I seriously couldn't stand more TH so if that's why people do it then maybe I'm good where I'm at, I dunno.

I can get 2 days out of my ego batteries although I do charge them every day just to get into the habit, and I figure that's better for them. I don't really need a 6 ml bottle in the thing and the tradeoff is that you can't see how much juice you have in the cart which for me isn't worth replacing a couple of tank fills. I also use several flavors at once so that means swapping out the bottle so maybe that's more inconvenient, and there's the old juice in the atty, need to switch attys too? Like someone else said, it would suck to be me :p

So that takes us to the straight up VV stuff like Provari, I don't mind the clicks and it might be fun to play around with, on the other hand if you don't up the voltage you've wasted your money and if you up it this will wear out your atties faster. So not a no brainer by any means there, although I'm still curious enough that I would probably buy it if it was available here but not curious enough to look to import it. On the other hand all kinds of people have imported gear so maybe the risk is real low, but for now I'm going to hold off.

Bloog tells me that Jack will be getting some manual batteries in very soon, that's something else I may want to try, so maybe I'll go with that next and hold off on the mods.

Batteries, atomizers and plastic cartridges contain no food or drugs. HC has no authority on them, though they like to spout off misleading information like the quote above.

Vaporizers and fog machines after all, have been around for a while. Just because someone decided to put nic in one doesn't automatically mean they are within the scope of HC's authority.

It's like banning the importation of light bulbs because people errr... use illicit substances in them. Sigh... probably get censored for that. Good ol ECF.

No point in buying a Bloog manual battery thats 220-480 mah if you have an ego-t that has a 650mah battery. They are both 3.7 volt units, yours will last longer. I guess the simple answer is if your ego-t keeps you off the nasties then you have no need at all for a mod. Some people need a bit mote throat hit, heat and vapor than what a standard unit can deliver to stay off the cigarettes, and thats where a high voltage, variable voltage, top fed, bottom fed mod will come in handy.

At the end of the day, there are many who enjoy the look of a certain device, the fact that it may be handcrafted or a collectors item and start collecting different devices just for the fun of it.

I for example have a 5V top fed mod because I made it myself and wanted to learn how. Now I have a demon killer when I get a hankering for the cancer sticks.

I hate to take their side but they see it as a drug delivery system, and it actually is :) So these things are within their purview unfortunately and they do make the rules as well. You won't get an argument from me as far as their having their heads up their ... though.

I get that, I was only looking at trying out the bloog not because it runs at a different voltage but to check them out for how they vape. They do look pretty cool as well :) I want to graduate to the point where I've tried something before I end up dissing it :)

I guess you like your homemade mod Neon, I guess I'm a little surprised that you still get that "hankering" after all the time you've been off smoking, but if you need 5v or 7v or whatever by all means bro ;) Maybe you may want to up the nic a little if you get these hankerings, or at least keep some around for when you get the craving. It's not the vapor you're craving here I'm sure, and while jacking the voltage will get you a bit more nic, there are other more evil ways to be considered :)

Thanks again for turning me on to this and if you talk to me in 30 years I'm sure I'll still be lovin' it :)

Right but you don't even have to have nicotine in it, so where's the drug there?

They might as well call a bottle a drug delivery system too, because it may or may not have alcohol in it.

I bought a few things from some American sites. What they shipped through customs was "led lights for your home and office" and "battery charger". Always iffy doing business outside the country, but I'd definitely shop around for a good mod.

i used to see the same thing when i ordered stuff from china a few years ago when the usa was blocking stuff in customs. lots of fun descriptions that really didn't match the stuff inside at all :D
