Many people mix flavors and/or nicotine levels. Since you're only going to add a drop or three, I don't think it'll affect the levels of nic very much at all. As for cracking a tank with adding the fireball liquid, you should be fine with just that small amount. From what I've read and heard, cracking tanks only happens when you use just the fireball in a tank (not mixed with another flavor), and even then not all the time or right away. If you do want to use the fireball by itself I'd suggest getting something like the Pro Tank with the pyrex tank and you won't have any problems.

Yep, you should be able to use it with no problems.

I got mine at Empire Mods. http://www.empiremods.com/category_s/64.htm?searching=Y&sort=5&cat=64&show=100&page=1 Scroll down to the 5th and 6th item from the bottom and you'll see them. The tapered cone I use for things like the Nano and the straight cone is used for things like the Vivi Nova -- when I can be bothered to use them. Keith at Empire Mods will treat you right, he only sells top quality stuff but his customer service is even better. Also, I see he's finally put the drip shields in one place with all the other eGo products. These drip shields are a must if you direct drip and they're made especially for eGo batteries and hide the threads.

1. On all my prior stuff the end glows when it needs to be charged. Do the EGO T 1000mah and the Vision Spinner 1300mah do something similar on the blue light on the button you push to activate-lock on these batteries They both come with a charge but not fully charged. I always put them on a charger when I first get them but it's not absolutely necessary. If I remember correctly I think I read somewhere that you should but can't remember why... :P 2. When you press the button 5 times it locks it. Should I do that only when it is in the case and I do not want the button to get pushed or should I do that between vapes as well? Does the battery lock-unlock function affect battery life? Push the button five times and it'll flash. Push it once and if the light comes on it tells you that it's on. If the button stays dark it's in the "off" position. I've never found that it matters either way to affect battery life if you're not actively using it. 3. With the variable voltage Spinner, is there a guideline that certain flavors, say fruit, taste better at a higher or lower voltage than say tobacco flavors or is this just an experimental thing that each person kind of has to dial in for themselves? Because every person has different taste buds you'll have to see what voltage works best with which flavors. Start at the lowest setting, vape, dial up a bit and try it again. When you get a slight burnt taste, back it off a bit and/or when you get the best flavor. For me, I've found that fruit flavors work best at lower voltages while bakery and coffee flavors work better at higher volts. Everyone is different so it's just a matter of finding what works best for you. That's also the fun part!

That's hard to say. They both have wicks, the V2 CE4s have a choice of short or long wicks, I like both but for different flavors. My Mini Nova is great but I needed to get a little cone to hide the threads otherwise it looked unfinished to me. The CE4 looks good just as it is. As for performance? They're both good IMO. Sorry, I'm not much help.

Press the button five times and it blinks. When it stops, press the button once. If it lights up that means it's on. If the button stays dark then it's off. The reason you may want it off is -- for example you're riding on a bus and have the e-cig in a pants pocket. You wouldn't want the button to get pressed accidentally and have it start heating up when you don't want. I have little side pockets on my purse that I use to hold my e-cigs. When I lean on something with the purse in between... I prefer not to take the chance that the battery will heat up inside my purse.

These are just my guesses because there's not much information on that site and I'm not familiar with that brand, you can take it for whatever it's worth. Looks like the battery is similar to an eGo battery with 510 threads, I could be wrong but that's my guess. I believe you could get a drip tip to put on the atomizer and direct drip without having to use the tank part. If I were you? I'd buy a clearomizer and ditch the tank and atomizer altogether until you get the hang of things. Then, once you get used to using clearomizers, I'd ditch the battery and buy a Vision Spinner, which is a variable voltage battery. Others here with more experience than I have with tank style cartridges could give you more information. The 510-t and eGo-t (the t = tank), I think. If I'm not wrong here, I think you could get any cartomizer, atomizer, clearomizer that has 510 threads and fits eGo batteries. A few examples are Vision Stardust (aka CE4), Kangor T2 or T3 or MT3, Vision Nano, Vivi Nova, Vivi Nova Mini, Vision Nano, EVOD and the new Kangor Pro Tank to name a few. These are the ones that seem to be pretty popular and work well. If it were me, I'd pick up an EVOD or Vivi Nova Mini to start. Those work (for me). The EVOD would look the most "finished" and not stick out the sides of your battery unlike the Vivi Nova or the Pro Tank.

Do you have a link to what you have or post a picture of it? That might give someone enough information to be able to answer your questions better.

Got mine just the other day and...man! Talk about some vapor coming out. The first coil burned out in less than 24 hours and I didn't even use it that much. I discovered that my local brick & mortar store carries these so I went to get replacement coils. They handed me a box of EVOD coils and said that they fit the Pro Tank. Thankfully, the coils are very inexpensive. I'm hoping this one lasts longer than the first did. I like the Pro Tank much better than the iClear30.

Difference in an Atonomizer and a Cartlidge.

Brian at The Veteran Vaper has 1.8 ohm coils for the Vivi Nova. http://www.theveteranvaper.com/vivi-nova-long-wick-replacement-coil/ The "best" anything in vaping is very subjective. What one person loves, another can't stand. I'm very partial to the Vision Spinner myself. It's nearly identical to the eGo Twist except the Spinner's numbers are easier to see so you know at a glance what voltage you're vaping at. Sorry, no help on the menthol juice but my preferred online store for that would be EC Blends. Hope that helps a bit! -
And don't forget the back ups! And the back ups of the back ups.

The Vivi Nova Mini is a favorite!

Just received my iClear30 plus some replacement coils from SmokTek today. Holy cow! I think we need a few more wicks in this here, son. *boggles* Wow. Yeah, and I also want a couple of small fishing type sinkers so it'll weigh a bit heaver. 0_0 Also, in the mail today came the ProTank from Vapelite. This thing is just as heavy. It came with a thread cover and one extra coil. *falls over laughing* I put the ProTank and thread cover on my 1300 mAh Spinner and it looks ridiculous! And I could hurt someone with it if I used it as a club. Oh. I need to put juice in it and use it now? Really??? I'm not sure I want to put extra liquid weight in it... ^___________^
-
If I remember correctly...you're right! Just a tip on using those: fill to the bottom of the rubber/plastic middle cap, don't go above it. When you fill for the first time let it sit for a few minutes to let the wicks absorb the juice. If you don't you risk getting a burned taste that won't go away. Good set up though. You're gonna love the Spinners. I just turned two of my friends on to those after they've been using eGo 650 passthroughs. They're both now asking me why I didn't make them buy a Spinner earlier.

Milk Chocolate from Vocano e-cigs http://www.volcanoecigs.com/usa-liquid-milk-chocolate.html and Chocolate Malt extra flavor from EC Blends are two of my favorites. It's especially good since I'm allergic to chocolate but I can have these. http://www.ecblendflavors.com/chocolate-malt-eliquid-flavor/

Yes to all of Kitsune's advice. I second them! The regular Vivi Nova is rather large-ish. The Vivi Nova Mini holds less e-liquid and is smaller around, it doesn't look so top heavy on my eGo batteries. YMMV. You also can't go wrong ordering anything from Brian at The Veteran Vaper. You get great quality stuff and his customer service is even better! The coils have different ohm choices. The lower the ohm number the hotter the vape. Since you're looking for something "strong", I would suggest getting the lower ohm rating. Plus, when you buy e-liquid, the higher percentage of PG and/or nicotine, the stronger the throat hit. More VG = more vapor, smoother throat hit. There are many good vendors out there where you can customize each of their juices. My favorite is EC Blends. They also let you choose extra flavor, sweetner, added shots of different flavors, the list of things you can customize is endless. Whenever I try new things from them I buy a $2.99 bottle of 5 ml so I can see if I like it or not before getting a bigger bottle. -
You could always do a search on Youtube. I'm sure there are plenty of reviews on it there.
-
I've searched on and off today and haven't found any that are bridgeless. Thanks for the offer of teaching me how to take the bridge off, I've learned how to do that a while ago. It's amazing what you can find on Youtube.
-
Must've gotten the 306 confused with the 901s. So many seemingly "random" numbers running around, it's hard to remember which ones are 510 threaded and which ones need adapters. Thanks! Will go looking for some 306s. Hopefully I can find some in bridgeless.
-
When it doesn't work anymore, when the draw becomes too tight to get a good hit, when you get only a tiny bit of vapor coming from the unit.
-
Hi Kit! I'm with you, I love Brian's store. Just got an order in from him today. A 306 doesn't have a 510 connection, right? You need an adapter to use it on an eGo type battery? I'll have to go take a look... Oh, to see all the new toys. Wish there was a way to get independently wealthy overnight without having to do anything for it.

First, I'd like to get recommendations for your favorite bridgeless atomizers. I'm looking for a good bridgeless atomizer, preferably a low resistance one - I prefer 2.0 ohms but that's not a deal breaker for me. 1.5 or 1.8 ohms are also fine. What do you like best about it? Link? And second, why are atomizers more expensive than cartomizers? They're not that much different other than the filler material, are they? Since you can take the filler out and use it like an atomizer I would think that, with more materials inside, a cartomizer should cost more. Thanks in advance for any help.

Iclear30.. I REALLY wanted to hate this but...

Right? I was all...oooooh, shiny! What kind of fancy ego batteries did you get, Kit? -
Tired of cracking clearos, need advice on what works....
Tam replied to Aquatroy's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Not sure but I think the tanks are being made better as I've not had a clearo crack on me since the first few months when I started vaping last year. I have a T2 that's filled with cranberry and it's been fine so far. -
Not that I know of but EC Blends has roast beef in their novelty flavors section. I tried it once but didn't care for it although it tasted just like roast beef...
