  1. I just cover one of the holes with a finger when I want a heavier draw on the T2s. You could also use a tiny piece of tape as well. As you vape longer you'll find that your preferences will change. When I started out the first clearomizer I got with my eGo battery was a CE4. Then T2s came along. Then CE5s, T3s, MT3s... and the list goes on. I still have a bunch of CE4s and recently went back to them to find I like them again. But only for certain flavors. The same with T2s. So, as you go along you may jump around from one thing to another and continue to experiment to find what works best for you. At that particular time. This is also what makes vaping fun.
  2. Brian at The Veteran Vaper only sells the highest quality stuff. He also carries the replacement coils for the T2.
  3. Unlike a tank or clearomizer you use an atomizer to direct drip. It's a metal cylinder with a heating coil (bridge) inside. You directly drip juice onto the bridge, replace the drip tip (that's a mouth piece that makes it more comfortable for your lips), and vape. There are also things like bridgeless atomizers that don't have a bridge over the top of the heating element. Drip and direct drip are pretty much the same things, just a different way to say things is all. Almost forgot to add: direct dripping will give you the truest flavor of a juice with no muting and it's easy to change flavors - I've found it's best to keep like flavors in each atomizer for the best results.
  4. I love the T2s, those and the CE4s are the first things I tried with my eGo 650 pass through - my first. Good luck! I hope they work well for you.
  5. Does their terms of sale mention how they deal with returns? Most places that sell e-liquids do not allow you to send it back because they don't know for sure if it's been tampered with once it's left their store. I'd send another email if you haven't gotten an email saying that your order has shipped. If it has shipped, why not give it a try? You never know, you might like this ratio.
  6. All of those that were mentioned earlier in this post fit an eGo battery with 510 threads. That means the one you have, I think. Didn't you say you had an eGo-C? If I were you and just starting out, I'd get an EVOD and a couple of extra coils. They're a bottom feeder so you don't have to worry about having to tip the e-cigarette to wet the wicks. No dry hits either unless you chain vape waaaay too quickly. As much as I love the Vivi Nova, the wicks are on top so you'll want to make sure to keep them wet. This means tipping when you get near half-full. I've also found that the EVOD doesn't mute the flavors as much as top feeders but that's just my opinion. Your experience may be different. If you haven't put in your order yet try going over to The Veteran Vaper. Brian is a forum member and gives most excellent service! He has EVODs, Vivi Nova, Vivi Nova Mini, T2 and Pro Tanks as well as replacement wicks and coils all in one place. I've yet to hear anyone have a bad experience when they order from him. Can't say the same about some other places. http://www.theveteranvaper.com/cartomizers/
  7. You won't get anything but the very best service from Keith at Empire Mods. He bends over backwards to make sure his customers are happy.
  8. The Pro Tank should work on the eGo-C just fine. They both have 510 threads and are compatible. While the Provari is nice you might wait a while before putting down that kind of money on a battery until you know what you like, what works for you, and if you plan to stick with vaping. Just my opinion. In the mean time experiment with your eGo battery. If you want to go a step up, pick up a variable voltage device like an eGo Twist or a Vision Spinner. I highly recommend the Spinner. Both are very similar, the Spinner is just easier to read the numbers. Your eGo-C charger will also work for both the Twist and the Spinner so you don't have to buy anything new for that. Other than a Pro Tank you might also want to check out an EVOD. They're both bottom feeders (they wick from the bottom of the tank so it's very rare to get a dry hit).
  9. Second Ron's suggestions. I get my Spinners from Got Vapes. You can also get the Vivi Nova or Vivi Nova Mini at the same place. Don't forget to get the charger for the Spinner as well as extra coils for the Vivi Novas. You should be set with these and a couple of bottles of juice. I prefer EC Blends or The Vapor Room for that. Link for the Spinners: http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?zenid=24f50471df09cb6327475e17da985a60&main_page=advanced_search_result&x=0&y=0&keyword=Vision+Spinner&dfrom=mm%2Fdd%2Fyyyy&dto=mm%2Fdd%2Fyyyy Scroll down for the 1300 mAh Vision Spinners and double check to make sure you're on the right page for the color you want.
  10. Thanks so much, Uma. Without friendly, helpful people like you I wouldn't have made it this far.
  11. Thanks, Rixter. I'm so happy to have made it this far. Wouldn't have been as much fun without you! Dang, Mike. I knew I would forget to name someone in my post. You've been wonderful to me since I got here. Thank YOU!
  12. There's no rhyme or reason to when a juice will crack a plastic tank. Sometimes they do, other times they don't. It's all a gamble and you cross your fingers and hope for the best. While you're at it you might want to keep a bottle of juice and an extra clearomizer or three with you in case it does crack. With a bit of luck you won't have to experience it at all but keep a close eye on it just in case. And there's no such thing as a stupid question.
  13. Thanks, Gracie. I'll be looking forward to seeing this post!
  14. So we don't hijack the thread more than we already have, let's move this discussion to a different one, shall we? To quickly answer your questions, yes, I love the Boge 2.0 atomizers. They do come ready to drip and you don't have to pull anything out. The ones with the filler material inside are called cartomizers, which I can't seem to get to work right for me. You can easily modify a bridged atomizer by taking the bridge out and that will sometimes give it a little longer life, or you could buy the bridgeless ones and drip. Before starting I would strongly suggest you get a drip shield. Those will make your life so much easier because they're very forgiving if you over drip like I tend to do. Why don't you start a thread "how to drip" or we can just add to an old one of mine. The answers I got were what got me started. Link below. Those links are in order of progression and the learning curve I went through. Let's move along now.
  15. Why yes. Yes, I do. Thanks for noticing, Jeff. lol And thanks for being so patient with me while I learned the ropes, your help -- and humor -- made it much easier.
  16. Without your encouragement I wouldn't be here, Mark. It's been a great first year, Ron. Thanks for being a part of it!
  17. Well, I didn't really do anything but I think the manufacturer did. Maybe. And even when it cracked, a piece of clear duct tape took care of it until I could get another tank. The only thing to is to try it out but keep a couple of back ups handy and with you at all times, lol. Learned that lesson quick~ Not all citrus and/or cinnamon juices will crack a tank - just that they sometimes do. Take a chance and try it ~ c'mon, live dangerously. My take on changing flavors in the Evod depends on what kinds of juices you're going to use. If it's two similar in flavor type of juice and I wouldn't mind them overlapping for awhile, I wouldn't bother cleaning the wick and coil. If it were two different types then yes, I'd rinse well and let dry and use it again. Even after rinsing the wick may retain a little of the flavor if it was a stronger one. In that case I'd start with a new coil. Kitsune got me started with direct dripping and now I'm totally hooked! There's a bit of a learning curve, but if you stick it out it's totally worth it! From my experience, getting the right equipment is essential. Atomizer, drip shield, drip tip and lots of patience at first. Give a shout when you're ready. I'll be happy to help as much as I can.
  18. Just ordered five 306 atomizers (2.2 ohm) and four 306 extended Delrin Drip Tips from Brian at The Veteran Vaper. Thanks to Kitsune for the rec. I'm so excited to try these.
  19. Thanks. I think I'll wander over to see Brian and order some.
  20. Thanks, Kit! And thank you so very much for all the help you gave me when I first ventured into direct dripping. Without your help and encouragement I don't think I would've stuck with it.
  21. Thanks, Ghost. I'm so much happier vaping than I ever was when I was smoking. So many new toys and new flavors to try...
  22. Just googled eLea e-cigs and it looks like an eGo type of battery but I don't have a clue about the threads. My recommendation? I'd go get an eGo battery or a Vision Spinner, a couple of clearomizers and try again. Good luck!
  23. Let me rephrase that question: what's your favorite atomizer when you direct drip?
  24. As of right now it's been one year since I got off analogs. Bought my first eGo T pass through on May 10, 2012 but still smoked while I got into vaping. Each day I smoked and wanted less until May 15th, I got off analogs completely and began vaping only. To be frank I've lit up a couple of times to satisfy my curiosity to see if I still had any desire to smoke again. After a couple drags I'd have to go brush my teeth and take a shower to get the taste out of my mouth and the smell out of my hair. Since then it's been a wild ride while I've explored all kinds of new vapor related toys, found this forum and met some wonderful people who have been so very helpful. They've taught me so much and in turn I hope I've been able to pass some of that knowledge on to new vapers. I want to thank Christopher for creating this forum and for working tirelessly to make it even better. A special thank you to Kitsune for pushing direct dripping so much that I finally got the nerve to try it, and also to Blucavvy, Jeffb, Mark, McQuinn, VaperRon, Uma, and Rixter who patiently answered so many of my questions when I got stuck. I know I'm forgetting to name some people here but you have my wholehearted gratitude for your help and making me feel welcome. After all the different methods tried, all the times I've tried to quit and failed miserably I'm so happy to be able to say, "This is it. I've been off cigarettes for one whole year. I hope to be able to say something like that next year...and the next...and the next...
