^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^OR JUST DO WHAT BLUCAVVY SAID^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (I failed to actually read your post before getting riled up blucavvy...so yeah, we all got hoodwinked into spending time looking for good deals.) I have to post in this thread simply because it will be remembered for a long time, and I cannot allow myself to miss this epic opportunity My .02, Get the Ego-T and then come back and make another thread about how it doesn't work My actual .02, because I am really not that much of a bad person. Save a few bucks, pirate Ghost Rider 2 for free (can I recommend that legally?), and get genuine JoyeTech. Pick up the passthrough here: http://vaporcrave.co...hrough-p54.html Then get a pack of Boge 2.0's from the same site: http://vaporcrave.co...roduct-p88.html Pick up some E-liquid, from the same website: http://vaporcrave.co...-10mil-p28.html I suggest getting two 10 mL bottles of E-liquid in different flavors that you think you will like. I have orded from vaporcrave, quick shipping, excellent products, quality juice. $43.95 total with shipping included. You will not realistically find a more reliable, quality, cheaper choice elsewhere. If you want to search go ahead. That amount of juice should last you about 10 days depending on how much you vape. Then get a job and buy more juice and a VV device. As legally required most websites ask if you are 18 before they will sell to you, but that is not my concern here. My real concern is how you were footing a smoking habit without a job. Please dear christers tell me you didn' t just pick up vaping without being a smoker...because that would just cherry top this wonderful thread. (honestly can't believe I got (almost?) as fired up as Mega on this one...hol-E KatzZ.)

Truth deadpool. I have "quit" smoking before, only to go back 9 months after. The PV allows me to keep my habit/addiction, enjoy my life how I like to, and still be healthy about it. True love

I use the mini, with the 18350 battery and have had about 4 hours of heavy vaping at about 4.5Volts (would expect 2X out of the 18650). Maybe try a panasonic battery? I understand they perform a bit better than the AW's, and can take more charging cycles total. Are you using the 1600 mah or the newer 2000mah battery? They recently improved their 18650's to 2000mah in the same size. I understand they are no longer producing the 1600 mah.

At work and I get this: "The link you are accessing has been blocked by the Barracuda Web Filter because it contains content belonging to the category of: Intimate Apparel & Swimsuit" Silly web filter. I am amazed how many E-cig related websites this thing blocks as Porn...sad.

TL;DR = PV for just about everyone except my mother, who has lost 4 ecigs that I have bought her. I also use "Puffer" as an affectionate name around my friends who ask to use it. "Hey can I use your puffer?" I talk to a lot of people who smoke, because everyone that I know smokes just about. And at the gun range I get hassled a lot about my guns, and then they see me sucking on my device and they get questioning and I use Personal Vaporizer just because a lot of them think cigarettes are still cool. I had a gentleman who quit smoking 10 years ago (granted he is a complete idiot, and the range warden on Wednesdays...) ask me what it was, and I told him that I used it to quit cigarettes. He boasted that he did it cold turkey, and when I told him that I quit cigarettes, he mumbled, "Well, almost." and that pissed me off and I simply don't deal with ignorance. I informed him that it was 100% safe and that nicotine is just about the same as caffeine. (Yes I know that the constriction of blood vessels caused by nicotine is a good cause of heart disease.) And he said he didn't believe it and that I was an idiot to think that this was safer...I no longer talk to this man. So long as you get off of analogs, I am proud of you no matter how you did it.

LT mini is now slowly getting seasoned with dripping and some cartos. I still love my EGO, and wouldn't suggest starting with a VV device, but it is a fine addition for when I am just sitting about and want to really tinker. If you aren't a tinkerer(er?) don't expect to love dripping. LT is excellent. Exactly what I wanted/needed/expected. Stable and simple enough. A good question I have come up with, what is the use of a drip shield? Is it something I should pick up? I do get quite a bit of leakage with dripping. I drip at about 4.2V with a 3.0ohm 510 atty for my fruity flavors, but get more dry/burnt hits than I would like and end up dripping 2 drops and get leakage. Any thoughts on what could help me out? I have the bridge in the atty, is this something I should remove?

Back from a bit of a breather. Yey. So I will be posting randomly, hopefully more than less, but truthfully there isn't a whole lot that you need as far as recipes go. Just use a good calculator for a basic feel and make sure you have your nicotine base about where you want it and you are off to the races. I did a Pomegranite and blueberry one this morning at 100% PG and I love it. Here goes. All of my recipes are for 5ml of juice unless otherwise stated. 1. ~1.3 mL or 24% 100mL/mg unflavored 100% PG Nicotine base, this allows me to total 5mL of fluid at about 24mg strength. I usually just go with 1.3 mL as I know I will be adding more flavor than the recipe calls for, and I don't want to lose too much strenght with the extra liquid added. 2. 2.6 mL or 52% USP Food Grade PG. Used PG only because I wanted throat hit for this flavor. I am a much bigger fan of PG than VG. Sorry to those with PG allergies, I am not very helpful for you guys ;( 3. 0.2 mL or 3% distilled water. I use this to thin things out a tid bit. It also seems to make things mix a bit better as a binder of sorts. It might not be worth the hassle of adding this tiny amount of water, but I make sure to add just a little bit to every recipe I make. It just seems to help. 4. 2.0 mL or 20% of flavoring (I was only supposed to use 1 mL of flavoring, but ended up using twice as much to suit my tastes. I did not correct it with additional Nicotine, I just went with it and it is wonderful), split into two flavorings. TFA-Blueberry (A very strong and great blueberry. I love it), and TFA-Pomegranate. Went with about 1.4 mL of blueberry and 0.6 mL of Pomegranate. Arbitrary division, but it turned out wonderfully. 5. 4 drops of 100% PG menthol. (I created my own menthol additive by dissolving way more menthol crystals than I should have in a 5ml bottle of PG. It works wonders for adding mentol to anything. (I am a menthol freak.) The menthol is just a hint of something else. It is not meant to even compliment the flavors, but just leave an extremely faint bit of Huh?!. I typically add a bit to everything I make. I have only used this juice dripping and have killed about half of the container so far today. I have been sitting by my computer doing taxes all day so it is easy to drip and kill liquid. My next will be a Pralines and Cream 50/50 mix. Let me know if you need more detail, or have questions/comments. Love you all, Sase Trase (who spelled his own thread wrong)

I have decided to post a new recipe/ review of that recipe here every weekday and randomly as I feel like experimenting. A blog of sort about my DIY journey. I use 100mg/ml liquid for my mixes, it is a 100%PG mixture because I am a big PG fan for the throat hit, I find it is easier to keep off the analogs when the liquid performs more harshly. A quick warning about this strength of liquid: THIS STRENGTH WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO CRY IF YOU GET A DROP OR TWO ON YOUR HANDS! I thought I was Mr. Toughguy, lo and behold I was careless, got about 5 drops on my hand, and even though I vape 24mg/ml liquid, the room started spinning, I almost passed out.=(Everything is fine now, but I have found a new respect for nicotine)@ This stuff is not for playing. I remember when I started smoking,13 years old, and we would hit them as hard as we could to get a buzz, thisbwas 10 times that buzz, and not fun. I don't ever want to do that again. I suggest using 36mg/ml for mixing. It is plenty strong, and still cost effective. I am a huge fan of menthol and sweetener. I love the cool feeling, and I love sweetness in my juice. My recipes will reflect that. I also love huge flavor, so I go very heavy on flavors. I suggest starting low and working it up to taste. A word on menthol crystals. They are very cheap and extremly strong. In a 5ml container I added 6 medium to large crystals and filled it with PG, placing the plastic dropper bottle in my pocket for about a half hour dissolved the crystals and resulted in a very strong liquid I could drop into any liquid to add a hint of menthol. I do this with almost every liquid just to add another flavor layer and bring me back to my old Newport habit. Will continue post later, sweet vapes order just got here

lavatube has been here for about two days now. I am loving it. i use a 3 ohm 510 atty and drip, which is much easier than i thought. deliciousness is all i can say. i have een whipping up my own liquids. look for a guide post i will be writing in the diy section soon, along with many recipes . the LT is ezactly what i needed. hassle free, great setup. it just works. clicky button and easy adjustments. i highly reccomend it to anyone. excellent product at a great price. you have not experienced high vg liquids correctly until you vape them at high voltage for the warm volumeous flavor. amazing. any hesitation about getting a vv device should be quashed. just do it as it is well worth it.

I have a few drip tips/510 attys coming, what is the life of a typical 510? I am hoping the 510/dripping will work better with my higher VG liquids than my ego-C tank system or carts. Bobas is great, but jams those up pretty hard. Any specific differences between drip tips? I have a few soft ones and a few acryllic ones coming just for fun, I think? Haven't gotten on the tank train yet as I am still learning and I don't seem to have to refill cartos too much as I am using Ego Dual Coils and they hold plenty, and when switching between two they last quite some time. I don't think I will really need a tank. Although I am sure I will get one, or a few...I want A Jonboyusmc tank just for fun, but they are quite hard to obtain... Will post back with my experience once the LT arrives! Also, new favorite liquid website! Sweet-vapes.com! This place is amazing. Picked up their blueberry cheesecake in double flavor 24mg, and the throat hit is rediculous. I cannot believe the flavor and power packed into it.

Not sure but BUMP because I have the same thought.

Awesome. Any tips for dripping? I have never done it before and when I get my lavatube/510atty/drip tip is it pretty straightforward or should I pull up some youtube vids? Maybe I am just anxious...

Clear, so I have to use the cartomisers from volcano then? Are there any other options or do they work quite well? 1.5 dual or do you use the 3.0 single? I think I could get more vapor out of the 3.0 single in theory, but who knows till I try it EDIT: Out of stock on the refil cartomizers...sad day.

7ml or 4ml would you suggest? I figure the 4 would probably be enough as I don't go through THAT Much vapor at a time. What the hell is the tube sock they are wanting me to pick up with it? Is it just a carrying case/cover for the tank? As far as carts go for it, what options are available there? Is it just like a boge you stick in there after punching it? or do they corner the market and only allow you to use their size carts? Also, thank you Kit. You have been extremely helpful in all of my vaping endeavours.

I spill on clothes/blankets/horses all the time. Kidding about the horses...mostly. A quick washcloth does it if the smell/spot bothers. Always washes out when fully washed. Just spot treat with a washcloth, as mcquinn has stated, will remove the stain for the most part.

Quick answer: No, neither has any benefit of being less harmful to you than the other. Not that I am aware of, PG is an oil derived dispersant, nothing too terrible except that it is derived from petroleum http://en.wikipedia....ropylene_glycol VG is about the same thing, VG typically isn't derived from vegetables, although we still use the term VG what is usually meant is Glycerol, also known as Glycerin(e), and it is typically derived also from petroleum. Neither have been found to be cancerous, both are used in food additives/medicinal uses for various things. Skin protectants/moisturizers/ect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol In my opinion neither has a significant damage to the environment or to the body over the other. It is simply based on how you like your vapor to perform that would determine your usage.

Put your tanks in the FULLY SEATED POSITION! Takes some force typically, but you will know if you take it out and see that there is a hole in the bottom.

To start, the Totally wicked "Tornado" Is just an ego-T, so that may help you out with your searches and such. (Though I suspect you already know that The Ego-T was notorious for having atty issues, but never anything as bad as what you have experienced. I would go to another vendor or talk to TW about it. You shouldn't have 2-3 bad attys in a bunch...there are always some bad attys, but never 50% hopefully. I might suggest upgrading your setup from the tank system, Ego-C or A VV device (such as the Lavatube) could be viable options. I would HIGHLY SUGGEST you get some cartomizers as backups so you don't have to go back to your analogs...that is terrible that you had to do that...I feel horrible for you... pick up some of these from anywhere you want. http://vaporcrave.co...roduct-p88.html Boge LR attys are a really good alternative to the tank system and they will work with your Tornado batts. They are 510 connection, the same as your ego style battery. The beauty of the batteries you have is they are very interchangable and you can easily use many different options on them. Let us know if you have other questions Good luck to you, and always have carts on hand in case of atty failure.

Recently ordered my Lavatube, Should be on its way soon Will keep you all posted on experiences/results I will be brand new to the 510 setup, having only used my Ego-C before, so I will post a full review on it as a complete newbie to the setup, although not to vaping. Hopefully it will help some out there make their decisions on VV vaping.

This is the single best marketing strategy I have ever seen...someone needs to capitalize on this NAO! P.S. Free condoms with every 3 bottles of juice ordered or with every starter kit!

Ok, so I don't know if you have any experience with the Ego-C, but this uses the wick to pull liquid out of the tank. I am ASSUMING, that removing the wick would probably not work in this type of atty. I have dripped onto the coil before, but the liquid tends to go through the air flow hole and onto the battery connection. Simply playing around with ideas for fun, I typically just toss attys and am wondering if there is a way to reclaim them. I will try removing the wick and seeing I have a few with terribly burnt wicks, which were burnt onto the atty coil that I won't mind losing. I shall play around and see how things go. Will post back with results/thoughts.

Rebrand and resell! COME ON GUYS! WE CAN'T LET THE ORIGINATOR MAKE ANY MONEY! Anyhoo, thanks for noticing that. Now looking back I can see it... PRobably get the Lavatube kit from lavatube website when I am done playing with my liquids and stuff...maybe get it earlier so I can drip, have never done any dripping and when I start experimenting with my mixes It will be challenging to do so on my Ego-C (the only unit I currently own) I'll have to look into 510 atty and dripping. With the Lavatube then I should definitly get the 510-Ego adapter then. correct?

Would anyone recommend the Galaxy VV mod (http://www.vaporgalaxy.com/The-Galaxy-VV-Mod-Galaxy18650VV.htm) over the Lavatube? I don't want to hijack this thread, but this is basically the exact same thing I am looking into. Provari is just a bit over what I want to spend considering the fact that I will probably break it 10 days in... once I am capable of keeping a solid device safe I will upgrade, but I want to try out VV vaping before jumping off teh cliff. Thanks guys!

Is the cone not moving from the battery at all? I have had some difficulties with my cone base becoming very stubborn and not wanting to remove from the battery. I simply used a pair of pliers and removed it with some extra torque/grip. I have also had a Joyetech Ego battery start spinning on me, where the black part spins on the metallic button part. Basically destroyed my battery. I didn't notice the battery was spinning until it was too late, I had dropped that one previously so it was my bad there. If the cone base spins, but simply won't come off the threads are stipped then, and you can try to get them apart via pliers/other tools, but your battery/cone base are probably done for in that case. Regardless, if you are using your original Ego-C cone/battery, there may be a warranty involved? Haven't bothered to look into that yet as I haven't had any errors that were due to manufacturing, always my user error so far. The cone/battery should always be able to make contact if properly seated...sad day that you are unable to make the connection.

I cannot view the dewicking video, is there a text version somewhere? Also, what is debridging? Still learning guys, thanks for the help!
