If it works for you go with it.My taste and smell were messed up from years of smoking,after a while of vaping and no smoking I could smell and taste things I could not before.One was how bad a smoker smells ,I always knew I smelled like smoke but had no idea how bad it smells.Some of the less expensive import liquids have less flavor than others.I found some really tasty liquids but the cost per ml was higher than my budget allows so I just get those for a treat once in a while.That is all part of vaping trying out all the different e-liquids to find the ones you like the best.

When I first started vaping I could not taste most liquids .Then after a while my taste buds and sense of smell came back and now I can taste liquids I could not taste at first.I suppose that is why cinnamoon,clove and menthol flavors are so popular as they do have a stronger flavor.I am not sure why you would have had such a dramatic difference on those two batteries.If they are both fully charged technicly you should not be able to tell much difference.The ego will stay stronger longer due to higher capacity battery.

When I first started I tried all the tobacco flavors and didn't like any but I did like the frooty ones,a year and a half later its the opposite .I prefer the Camel flavors the best.Clove is really good for me as well.

Here is one http://www.vaporkings.com/USB-Charger-DSE901-DSE801-Joye-510-and-KR808D-1-p/univ-usb-charger.htm

For no nic I use VT Dulcis ,AwesomeVapor or WetYourStick Janty has some tasty liquid but kind of pricey for me.None of it will taste like a Marlboro but you should eventually find something tasty to look forward to.There a few place to get get no nic for some reason,I suppose demand is low.I would like to find more Dekang no nic flavors than WetYourStick has to offer if anyone knows of a supplier.

The only difference is battery life as they use the same carto's /atties and are the same voltage.I suppose size is another thing the Ego is larger because of the bigger battery.OOpsie I forgot about Ego mega atties which are larger.You won't go wrong with either as you can switch at a latyer time and still use what you get.

"but when we smoke, the flavor is consistant, with cigarettes" I don't know they never tasted as good as I rember they did when I first started smoking.

I have found if I use the same flavor for too long my taste buds get used to it and the taste diminishes.I usually keep at least two different flavors going on different atties/cartos to keep that from happening .I switch off through the day.The more different the flavors are hte better this seems to work.

Try soaking them in hot water ,I use denture cleaning tabs .Freshens them right up ,I rinse sevela times with hot water from my coffee maker.If you any liquer around soaking them in that might help.If you are hurting you can just blow them out real well after cleaning and use one .But best to let dry for a while.Prime with three or four drops.They all get funky after a while depending on what liquid you use as it does not all vaporise ,stuff gets left behind.

I am not sure that is the only thing that caused us to be this way.

Welcome.The Ego is the first choice around here ,but it is not penn like,for that you want a Joye 510 cartomiser kit or a KR808D ,check out the suppliers in the supplier section of this forum ,don't pay more than $50.00 for a starter kit unless it is an Ego.

When I used to drive a school bus I witnessed the district spending $2.00 to get $1>00 quite frequently.Now I work in healthcare and they are spending $3.00 to get $1.00 kind of nuts.

I agree that is a good plan,I usually recomend getting one or two starter kits for carts and chargers but you will not need those going that route.

I didn't call it a passthrough someone else did.But it will allow someone to vape plugged in to a usb port or unplug and roam around.It is considered a 3.7 volt device and it would be way less expensive and trouble than trying to build something that does the same thing as would the Joye 510 passthrough (again not my title).

I would go with a JOYE , DSE or KR kit as there is a lot of places to shop for supplies and the prices are more competitive as a result.They all will make vapor and deliver the nic ,and we all have our preferences based on different criteria.Some are concerned with size and appearance ,some battery life ,some vapor production and some just cost .Check out the recomended suppliers on the forums and stay away from the ones who will not identify the manufacturer and actual model number.Steer clear of the free kits as nothing is free.Be very careful who you give your chargecard number to as in the process you are giving them permission to remove money from your account and you are agreeing to whatever terms they have in the small print we all never read.

As you can see we all have different interpetations as to what we read in the spec. sheets on batteries and chargers.If you feel uncomfortable after all this advice I would recomend just purchasing one of these http://www.vaportalkstore.com/products/Joye-eGo-USB-Passthrough.html as it fits the description you gave or a Joye 510 passthrough with battery box,or one of the many mods that are avaiable and time tested.Building this stuff is a hobby and requires research ,which is why you are asking questions and some trial and error.Good luck.

"uber small "? thats just not right,bigger is more better.Keep us posted you come up with some neat ideas I can rob.

I agree with that to point ,no matter how many amps the charger is capable of the battery protection circut will regulate it to what ever its setpoint is. I am a firm beleiver in keep it simple ,so I would just build a couple of AA box mods and spend my money on extra batteries and a good charger.14500 batterie will provide hours of vaping pleasure and you can put two or three in paralell to keep the voltage up for longer or you can series two and add a regulator if you like for 5 volts.The switch is the key ,I have found that http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049718 is my favorite,I remove the paddle and it can be recessed to prevent accidentally turning it on and it is a very reliable switch.The ones most people use seem to be temperamental you have to kind of jiggle them.

"But charging a pair of batteries in series is not the easy. I don't agree with mcquinn, that's not the function of a protection circuit.If you want HV and charging, track down Jolly's Tekk mod video" The question was " would like to build a 3.7volt box mod that I can use a 2-3 "AA" box. My question:has anyone figured out how to add a usb cord to the box mod, so that the batteries can be charged through a usb port or usb wall wart, instead of having to recharge the batteries in a separate charger, and then change batteries.It would be neat to be able to make this box mod like a sit and go passthrough" You can make these things as complicated as you want.While you can add all kinds of things the protection circut built into the battery is designes to regulate the charging and discharging current and to stop current flow if voltage gets too high or too low to prevent a sudden release of energy.What I read into the question was how to build a passthrough like an original Joye with battery box and with detachable cord for portability.The original Joye passthrough used nonprotected batteries and a protection board built into the battery box,that is the part that malfunctions.

Tube and flashlight mods are more difficult to build ,although those have most of the hard bart done for you.But for me $30.00 is a lot of coin ,I would rather build a box full of box mods for that much.

I try to get the liquid that leaks between the pot that holds the element and the battery connecter out so they don't leak all over the place .It seems to make more sense to blow from the connecter end to me.

That is good,I like to watch Blue Man Group video's ,same kind of music.

http://www.batteryjunction.com/prcimopcbfor.html if you want to be double sure.All you really need is to add 5 volts DC properly polarised as the protected batteries will stop charging when full.Most chargers are just 5 volt power supplies .

glad you found something that worx for you.
