Yeah, a direct fit cartomizer would be great. I've seen pretty good performance so far from the tea bag mod. I've noticed that the performance seems to degrade after a few days though. I wonder if the residue builds up and just becomes gooey causing it not to wick anymore. I also wonder if there is anything I could add to it to loosen it up without wasting the juice that is currently in there. It might be worth it as an experiment to take out the bag, clean it thoroughly (if possible), and see it I get the same vapor production I had before. If that works, then finding something to 'ungoo' it might be worth considering. I made a new tea bag mod yesterday and am still puffing on it today. The vapor production over that amount of time is very impressive. <just took another puff - very nice > So it has performed well without a fill up since about 5pm yesterday. It is now about 1pm, and still going strong. That's obviously not constant vaping, but it's just nice to be able to pick one up and not have to goof with it first thing in the morning.

Thanks. I think I will give the passthrough a shot. 15 bucks isn't much to spend on something like that I think. Update: I used the teabag mod this morning going to work. It was about 40 minutes total drive time. It did get weak around 30 minutes. I tapped it on the steering wheel a few times and it got a bit more life to it. Differences: I filled it up last night and was using it continuously this morning.

Well if you guys are interested: After modifying the 510 cartridge with the Mighty Leaf tea bag (leaving the stringy lining in), I have been able to vape for nearly an hour on two occasions today. I didn't really count the drops to fill it, but I would say it is somewhere around 10. Breakdown for driving (I refilled the tea bag prior to getting on the road): Drove approximately 20 minutes; idle for about an hour; drove approximately 30 minutes home. I used the 510 the whole way without a noticeable drop in vapor. That is acceptable for me. I will let you know if it fades in quality over time. For now, I am pretty happy with the results.

Thanks for making me feel welcome and for the advice! I just looked at a Vapor4Life usb passthrough. Anyone have an opinion if that would be a good way to test out the 808 before buying a whole kit? (ummm... don't assume I know what the hell I'm talking about here though) :-) It looks like there is a reasonable amount of variety of cartomizer flavors. And I assume you can just buy the usb passthrough and some cartomizers and be able to vape. thank you

Thank you! That's a pretty important distinction there, isn't it? :-) Well, it's at least good to know there is nothing wrong with my device. It does concern me that my father in law might not be willing to screw with this thing as much as I am. He has one now and I doubt he will be willing to keep refilling as much as he smokes. I created an introduction titled, "Old Dogs and New Tricks" in the introduction area of the forum. I expressed in a little more detail my concerns with refilling the 510. It doesn't bother me that much, except when I'm on the road. Does anyone have an opinion about the Vapor King? I was reading another discussion about this one and it seems you don't have to refill it as often.

Hello, I just received my first e-cig a few days ago. I bought one for my father in law too. He is a very heavy smoker. I was hoping this would be a good method for him to continue the activity without all the harmful issues associated with smoking. I have a Titan 510 from TW. I really like it. It seems to be true that once you get a taste of these things, they are hard to put down. It has completely eliminated my desire for a smoke. However, it isn't initially as easy as firing one up. And I am a bit concerned that my father in law will get frustrated and not want to keep screwing with it. I also get the impression he is not very open to having someone hover over him to try to improve the process - not that I'm much help at this point anyway. I basically gave him the 510, gave him a brief idea of how to use it and refill the cartridges, and just let him play with it. My concern is that he will not want to refill these things as often as it appears one has to in order to keep the vapor going. I stumbled into a 808 (Vapor King) discussion which was comparing the 510 and 808. They seem to claim that you can pretty much vape all day with their 'cartomizer.' I was fussed at for asking a question there (on another forum), so I will try to ask it here: Does anyone know if this is true about the Vapor King? Is this something I should look into for a low maintenance alternative?

Ok... I am completely new at this, but are you saying that you have been puffing for 2 weeks without a refill? If that's the case, my 510 is defective. :-) I just made a mod to mine (a spin-off of the PTB mod) by using a Mighty Leaf tea bag and leaving the stringy part in. I was ecstatic to get close to about a hour of decent vapor out of it. Any suggestions out there for what might actually be going on with this thing, or is it normal to have to top off constantly? Thanks
