  1. Hi seaspine. A standard 510 charger will not work with the eGo. The eGo's threaded end will not fit into the charger since the eGo has a larger diameter than a standard 510 batt. A 510 usb charger will work though.
  2. Altsmoke developed a PT for the BB. http://altsmoke.com/feature/bb-completept.html Its a little pricey compared to the VP/PT and the Puresmoker PT.

    That was a good news report. I enjoyed hearing the other peoples reactions. Thanks for sharing Brian.
  6. I am finding I get a metallic taste with the brass tips that interferes with my juice flavors. I will probably order the stainless steel tip and see how that does. I'm also not liking the cold tip on a cold morning.
  7. I think the pen clip is the way to go. Sounds like you're going to be active, so not only might it be uncomfortable in your pocket you risk the chance of pushing the button and getting a pair of "hot pants"
  8. Just remember my friends... don't take little things for granted, and be happy for every day we have to spend with our friends and families... because that's all that really matters in the end. Excellent reminder DAYVAPE!!! We will continue to pray for your dad.
  9. Excellent post snubber!! +1 for you.
  10. Hi rawortley, checkout some of the suppliers in the "Supporting Suppliers" section. You cant go wrong with any of them. Joye is the only company that makes an authentic Joye 510. There are copies out there so beware.
  11. I'm with Jeffrey on this one. My 510 charger has been plugged in for 4 months now and not one problem. I have not heard of a typical e-cig batt charger causing a fire or anything like that.
  12. Well thats good news. The FDA has always contended the PV was a "drug delivery device". Now that their study says it doesn't deliver nicotine they will back off. .... Please Note the above post was purely sarcastic and in no way do I believe the FDA is going to back off now.
  13. Hi Wannavape, you won't have a problem with your 4th battery losing power in a day. If that was to happen then there is something wrong with the batt. Just today I pulled out a 510 batt I charged 1 week ago and it still worked like a champ. I would assume batts discharge at a certain rate but I dont think that will affect you in the course of a day.
  14. So sorry to hear about this DAYVAPE. Thoughts & prayers coming to you and your family.
  15. I have 4 510 chargers and lost one after a month. So if my math is right you have a 25% chance of getting a bad one.
  16. Hi Derrek thank god you have a back up even if its the Blu. Yes back-ups are very important!!!!!!!
  17. Interesting article: Study: 'Electronic cigarettes' don't deliver By Paul Courson, CNN STORY HIGHLIGHTS Nicotine delivery system same "as puffing on an unlit cigarette," researcher says Virginia Commonwealth University studies "no-smoke tobacco" devices FDA has halted imports of the devices as it studies their effect on health RELATED TOPICS Smoking and Tobacco Use Food and Drug Administration Virginia Commonwealth University Washington (CNN) -- "Electronic cigarettes" that vaporize nicotine juice to inhale instead of smoke from burning tobacco do not deliver as promised, according to research at Virginia Commonwealth University. "They are as effective at nicotine delivery as puffing on an unlit cigarette," said Dr. Thomas Eissenberg, at the school's Institute for Drug and Alcohol Studies. His study, funded by the federal National Cancer Institute, is the first by American doctors to check the function of so-called "no-smoke tobacco" devices, which are unregulated in the United States for sale or use. The units are shaped like a cigarette and contain a battery that heats a filament to vaporize liquid nicotine in a refillable cartridge. Smokers buy the devices to get around no-smoking restrictions and to attempt to quit conventional cigarettes. Some users nickname what they're doing as "vaping" instead of smoking, to reflect the vapor produced by the heating element. The devices are marketed as an alternative to smoking, but retailers avoid making claims about health or safety. Fans have established a Web site, www.e-cigarette-forum.com. Founder Oliver Kershaw said the site "is the largest e-smokers community online with some 26,000 members, most of whom are in the U.S." Jimi Jackson, a former tobacco smoker in Richmond, Virginia, who sells electronic cigarettes, is convinced there are immediate health advantages in avoiding the known cancer-causing substances in the smoke of a burning cigarette. "I smoked 37 years, and when I found them, I was, like, 'Thank, you Jesus,' " Jackson said with a laugh, as a reporter visited his shop, No Smoke Virginia, coincidentally just a few blocks from where the research was conducted at Virginia Commonwealth. In March, the Food and Drug Administration imposed a ban on continued imports of the devices, pending regulatory review for any health risks. The latest clinical evidence suggests users are not getting the addictive substance they get from smoking tobacco. "These e-cigs do not deliver nicotine," Eissenberg said of the findings he expects to publish in an upcoming issue of the British Medical Journal. This past summer, Eissenberg recruited smokers without prior experience using e-cigarettes to volunteer to use two popular brands of the devices for a set period. The 16 subjects were regularly measured in a clinical setting for the presence of nicotine in their bodies, their reported craving for conventional cigarettes, and certain physiological effects such as a change in heart rate. "Ten puffs from either of these electronic cigarettes with a 16 mg nicotine cartridge delivered little to no nicotine," the study found. But the units may deliver hazardous chemicals, according to preliminary checks by federal regulators. In a notice to importers, the FDA blocked continued shipments after finding diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans. The government's statement noted there are no health warnings on the products, and that "the FDA analyses detected carcinogens, including nitrosamines." The notice of the import ban says "the product appears to be a combination drug-device," that "requires pre-approval, registration and listing with the FDA" in order to be marketed in the United States. A company challenging the import ban claims in federal court documents to have sold 600,000 of the devices in a year's time through a network of 120 distributors in the United States. "We are on the verge of going out of business, which is why we are suing the FDA in U.S. District Court," said Washington, attorney Kip Schwartz, representing a company called "Smoking Everywhere," a U.S. wholesaler that was importing the devices from China. The lawsuit questions the FDA's authority to block shipments of a non-tobacco product, and says the agency has violated its statutory process for product review. Liquid nicotine is available on the open market through pharmaceutical houses and vendors who sell e-cigarettes. A judge has yet to rule on the company's request for an injunction that would allow imports to resume. "There has been no change," said FDA spokesman Siobhan DeLancey. She said "a decision in the case is still pending, with no timeline." President Obama, who has described himself as an occasional smoker, has been offered one of the devices by Florida Rep. Cliff Stearns. The Republican lawmaker's office said the president did not respond. An administration spokesman last year said the White House was not aware of the offer. In a copy of a letter to the chief executive dated March 26, Stearns wrote, "I have recently given out e-cigarettes to a few members of Congress and they have become quite a hit." Sales of the devices continue at shopping mall kiosks and small storefront retailers, apparently drawing from stock imported before the FDA began to block shipments from overseas suppliers.

  18. ecigsupply.com has them for $7.29 each if you order more than 5.
  19. I have dealt with Jason at electronicstix now going on 4 months. I have always been extremely satisfied with his customer service. Shipping is fast and his prices are good. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending electronicstix to everyone.
  20. Welcome to Vapor Talk rctowne. Many suppliers sell 510 atty's in bulk. I do know that electronicstix.com sells them in packs of 5.
  21. Judging from the pictures that were posted it looked real to me. There are also other stories of exploding batts.
  22. One last idea DasBeanz, take a paper clip and put it in the center post hole of the battery. very slightly pry up on the center post. The issue may be that over time the atty will press down on the center pole and ultimately you wont have a good connection from the batt to the atty. Its worth a try.
  23. Well since your atty's are working on your other units thats not the problem. I have heard Janty had issues with the chargers, maybe the batts aren't charging properly. I would go to Janty and ask them to resolve the issue.
  24. Classic rock for me also, unless my daughters in the car then its pop & hip hop. Gonna go see the Eagles in April at the Hollywood Bowl.
