Welcome! If I didn't tick off these guys with my questions you will be fine!!! lol I started asking even before I bought anything..... Lots of good info and great ppl to help you on your way here.

I don't smoke ANY e-liquid. I vape.

Yes sir! Come to play in my sand box? Ok I'll go play in yours. LOL

Typing on my cell gives me a whole new vocabulary and typos like no one's ever seen before!

A Noobie's Guide to Batteries While in the chat room one night, someone was asking if there was a guide for batteries. He was hearing all these battery numbers in the conversation, and not familiar enough to follow along. I decided to write this guide to help familiarize the noobs to all the batteries we use for mods. All of the batteries we use are either 3.7volts or 3.0volts. There is however a 5volt battery used in the Mako Maksi, but it's not one of the popular batteries you frequently hear about, so I'll just concentrate this discussion on the 3 and 3.7volt varieties. The 3.0volt batteries are primarily used in pairs for a total of 6.0volts for 6volt vaping, and single battery mods are 3.7volts. The 3.7volt batteries are usually only paired if the mod has a voltage regulator (adjustable or fixed) for consistency in voltage throughout battery life and load conditions. Now that you have a little background on how the batteries are used, let's try to make sense out of the numbering system. The first 2 digits of the battery number indicate the dimension measuring across the battery. So a 10440 measures 10mm across, a 14500 measures 14mm across, and so forth, and the last 3 digits make reference to the length. For example the last 3 digits in a 14500 battery would suggest that the length would be 50.0mm long, but that would be for the unprotected version of the battery. The overcharge/overdischarge protection circuit will add between 2 and 3 mm to the length of the battery, so a 14500 is really 52.5mm long. Aside from the physical size of the battery, there is something referred to as mah (milliamp hour) rating. This is a capacity rating of the battery, and indicates the amount of energy the battery can store. In other words, how long it will last between charges (more mah, more charge life). Physical size will affect mah ratings, and therefore smaller size batteries will typically have lower mah ratings. Some batteries are available in more than 1 mah rating. Below is a listing of the more commonly used batteries in e-cigarette mods. **This is not meant to be a complete list, so please don't shoot me of you know of a battery I didn't list.**

I found this image while i was surfing the net trying to find good pairings with my 3.7v and 5v ecigs. Hopefully it can help someone else as well

My names Chris I'm new to the forum and to vaping. I have ALOT of questions and want to learn as much as I can, so if you see several posts from me, please bare with me!

Welcome my names chris too

Holy cow! How did I miss that??? Next order.

That's just not an option for us vv v3 users... Probly only fire down to about 1.3-1.5 ohm coils. Also, if you're thinking of useing the pro tank or something similar sub ohms would burn the silicone cap I believe. Gonna need a mech mod or a higher end vv/vw device and a rebuildable top, along with alot of knowledge and the proper equipment to test coils.

Your APV won't sub ohm. There's a learning curve to building coils and a BIG learning curve to sub ohming. If you're new to vaping, I recommend sticking to what you have for a little while, while you do some research into mods, battery safety, coil building, rda's, and rba's. There's a plethora of info here. Just read thru all the pinned threads on the "Hardware Specific" sub forums, and then read thru some of the other threads.

Thanks for the info and good luck with yours as well!

I ordered some unflavored base liquid and some flavorings to try my hand at mixing my own. I don't know much about mixing so I'm most likely gonna kill myself..... lol

Would you mind shareing what you think it was and how you fixed it? I have the same setup and might help me incase I run into the issue in the future. Thanks

Whoot was a good vape mail day today received the batteries and sample flavorings from Proetus and my Cloud Chasers Inc Tee Shirt. Sorry no pics my camera is charging lol

Make sure your coil is tightened down all the way into the base.

That's pulling the center pin of the battery connection.

Welcome to VT! I'm pretty sure a large number of us came here to ask questions and to learn. So don't feel bad about asking them! If you have a question, look around in the forums to see if you can find an answer. Chances are, whatever you are curious about has already been asked/answered. If you can't find it, then just ask! I'm still learning alot from these guys.

Hello Yall ! I am sooo excited...Last night I ordered my first juice online...I ordered the Menthol Ice from Mt. Baker...I can't wait to get it...I ordered the 15ml. bottle...Hope I like it...OH...Did I mention I can't wait !!

Good read Jeff! It still amazes me however, that so many of the "experts" are so woefully ignorant. They say, it "could" do this or that, but they spend their time denouncing the product instead of doing ACTUAL hard science.

There are different types of direct dripping. The kind that he's talking about is just using an atomizer, not an RDA so he won't be sub-ohming nor will he need to learn how to build a coil. All you need to do is to buy an atomizer like this: https://www.vaportalkstore.com/product-p/510-atomizer-lr.htm Since I believe he has a fixed voltage battery I would suggest getting a low resistance atomizer to make it work well. The 1.7 ohm I linked to should be fine. He'll also want to get a drip tip (mouth piece) to put on top. For convenience and to keep things from getting messy I would also suggest getting a drip shield (you'll want to make sure to get one for a 510/901 type of atomizer, other types and styles won't fit right). At the top of this page on the upper right hand side you'll see a magnifying glass. Click on that and type: direct drip. That should bring up all kinds of threads on direct dripping. READ THESE and take heed to the advice because there is a learning curve to it. Good luck!

imo id stay with the set up you have now do some research on it and make sure you read and undertsand the safety invovled with sub-ohming or dripping even at a higher ohm. different things go into the driping world, youll have to learn how to do rebuilds and such, so best start reading up and this forum has all the info ya need

When I saw "E-Roll" the first thing that came to mind was an Electronic Tootsie Roll.LOL

I also got my new volcano lavatube v2.5 in the mail. Two new mods and a beautiful baby girl. It just doesn't get better than this.

Okay... i'm gettin the idea that Troy does not think highly of the e-roll... I just wish he'd come out and say how he REALLY feels...

I'm trying to do a pinwheel coil with Tiger wire, The only problem is getting wound without it overlapping. LOL

Well that didn't work. Dang windows phone

Any time I get on my cell to type anything I want to throw it across the room. LOL

Lol! I try my best to proof it before I post! Had to turn off my autocorrect though, cell has an expanded dirty vocab now. Don't need the asterisk police on me! Lol

Touch typing. It's how it's done. Lol.

I'll post some pics on a coil I'm working. Calling them dragon eyes. Spiral cup that holds a ball of cotton. Still working on it

They SUCK! I had a hard time selling the thing with a straight face..wispy, no batt life, leaks like a derrick, and should have never hit the market, marked em at cost, and all I got was dust. Sold em to a knock off wholesaler in town at a loss.. You two type fast..

Lmao that's going to the next lvl

Or, is it that they BLOW?!

I don't think thats what he is saying. I think he's saying... THEY SUCK! Lol

Hey, Troy. So are you saying that Erolls suck?

Once the dna40 comes out I'll stop using mechs. By then you'll have the power needed that comes from sub ohm builds. 40watts on lipo pack will be awesome. Lipo packs from the rc world far exceeds the batteries we use in the tube mechs.

MT Dobies Yep run on watts, only way to go if your VV/VW and read this easy how to on the way it works, after you read, youll know how to go 8,9,10 w....http://content.spinfuel.com/taking-the-mystery-out-of-variable-wattage/

Just got my new magneto in today. I'm so stoked

Just grabbed one of these for my personal collection $220 Akuma V2 From GP Customs out of the Philippines! Thanks to Leo Lee at Cloud Chasers Inc

They need to outlaw Diet Coke cans because they resemble the Coors Silver Bullet cans. <--- Sarcasm

Thats ok, I have my own setup for wrapping coils that works for me.

Today we launched our E-Liquid Review site that has been in the works for months, We’ve been vaping for a year and half now and found the biggest issue is finding new liquids. I'm sure you've noticed that the market for e-liquids/juice is extremely fragmented. The only way to learn about the ins and outs of various juices is to keep up with forum posts, reddit, and all the vendors sites. It's a mess! So we set out to create a new site to solve the problems we had as vapers. Below are some of the notable things you will be able to currently do: Search (just like Google) through our growing catalog of 1000+ product across many vendors and liquids View YouTube reviews for many of the products Personally Rate and Review each liquid while viewing the community’s ratings to decide on your next purchase View and compare pricing information and easily make purchases with direct product links Add liquids to your personal profile to keep track of your daily vapes, liquids you want to vape, and liquids you have vaped in the past We know the site is not perfect right now, and there are a bunch of things we plan to add in the coming weeks. We would love to hear your feedback about the site so we can incorporate it into a future release.
