Sounds like what's called a partial burn. Part of the atomizer is probably damaged thus the reason for the nasty taste. I would toss the atomizer to be honest. Another tip, don't clean your atomizer unless it's an absolute must. You should wait at least 2 weeks before ever cleaning an atomizer and even at that, it's best to avoid it if at all possible. Keep it coated with liquid and this won't usually happen.

A list of the chemicals in the liquid will be posted shortly.

Yes, The eGo PT has a built in battery.

Oh the things that end up on this forum

In fact engadget just recently reported a study which finds electronic cigarettes to be 1,000 times safer than cigarettes (Boston University's School of Public Health) http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/18/new-research-says-e-cigarettes-are-safer-than-real-ones-no-ciga/

To answer yes I really do think it's worth the money. Granted if you already have a mod that's 5 volts, well then you've got your 5 volt vape. For me though I enjoy 4.1 which is sort of a weird voltage level(although Skruff says he likes the same volt level as well) and there are other times where honestly I love 3.7 volts. It's nice to be able to quickly switch on the fly. The other features are nice. Not to mention safety is always number one for me. There are plenty of safety features built into this unit and the fact it's a single stacked battery is impressive. I get the feeling that the person behind the build really knew what they where doing. For me, it's the first mod that doesn't feel like someone cut a tube and slapped a battery inside. A lot of thought has gone into making this device.

Pro Vari arrived yesterday Review here: http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/forum/topic/9600-pro-vari-review/

Well my Pro Vari finally arrived in the mail. Short review: This thing kicks some major balls. I've tried close to 40 mods now and nothing comes close to this bad boy. When I say this sets the new standard I mean it. I sort of picture all the mod makers working away, the guy that runs Provape walks over to the table, whips is wang out and says "lemme show you how this is done." For obvious reasons I don't often review other suppliers products. But this thing is to good to pass up. I will create a video review once I get around to it but for now here is the text version. (By the way Vapor Talk has no affiliation with Pro Vape. I paid full price for the unit the same as anyone else) Lets start with the body Pictures don't do the Pro Vari justice. Pro Vape really needs to get some new pictures done. The pictures on their site look like someone is trying to sell a Ferrari by posting cell phone photos of the car. It just doesn't show off the beauty of the unit. Looking at their pictures I assumed the body would be made of thin aluminum. Instead I'm pretty sure it's made from DARPA's latest bullet proof technology. It's sleek, well built and looks a lot like a light saber. The atomizer fitting is well built and has recessed top cap. If liquid does happen to leak out, it's not going to run down the unit. Although not the first to implement this, it's still a nice touch. Both the top cap and end cap are chrome in color. The body is brushed steel look. Complaints: Minor. 1. I'd love to see this unit in black. It would look amazing. 2. Your hands smell a bit like brass afterwards but I have no doubt this will fade in time. A good cleaning with some baby wipes will remedy this. I'm really nit picking here. The end cap It seems minor but people often complain about the end cap on mods. IE the spring popping off, cap no screwing in smoothly etc. The cap literally screws on as smooth as a volume nob on a stereo. The entire cap covers the spring so there is absolutely no way the spring will ever pop off. It's locked up tighter than an Enron share holder. Built in micro controller That's right, they put a mini computer in this thing. The Pro Vari has an amazing list of little features. On the fly voltage adjustment - You can change your units voltage from 3.3 - 6.0 in a matter of seconds using the built in digital display. Nice. Ohm reader - There's a damn ohm reader built in. (Wonder if Radio Shack will let me return the one I already have) Not sure if your using a LR atomizer? Use the built in ohm tester to find out. Voltage Checker - Check the currently voltage on your battery LED on off - Turn off or on the LED Sleep mode - Need to pack your unit and go? Put it into sleep mode and it will shut down to stop the battery from draining. This essentially disabled the button but you still have access to the LED feature screen. All this is controlled via the built in LED screen. Slick. The screen is covered by a magnified piece of glass/plastic making it easy to read the red display. 6 quick clicks and your into the menu. 10 clicks and it turns into a stealth fighter. The Button Often over looked but extremely important. This is what I was probably worried about the most. The pictures show what looks like a plastic cheap button. Not the case at all. The button is large. sturdy and comfortable on the hands. It's clear and has an embed LED to show you when the unit is engaged. While only time will tell, I don't see the button going out any time soon. Battery Life All day. ProVari takes a single 18490/18500 battery which needs to be purchased seprate. While I haven't really tested the battery life, I did use the battery right out of the box without charging it. I ran at 4.1 volts (the happy spot for me) and it lasted well over 12 hours without an issue. This wasn't constant vaping but the battery didn't die. My guess is you'll get plenty of battery life. I'm sure other members will report on this later. To sum it up The Pro Vari is an amazing ecig mod. With all the bells and whistles anyone could ask for and a 1 year warranty to boot, this is money well spent. Granted the price tag at $150 bucks is steep, this could easily be the last mod you ever need to buy.

I personally think one bottle is about a carton as one bottle usually last me 5 days. But I know there is a topic somewhere on the forum god knows where, that has the answer to this. 3 drops = 6-9 puffs. Someone figured out how many drops are in a bottle.

ha ha talk about an old post!

We're not sure yet. If the factory can reproduce our flavors correctly, then we will offer Vapor Talk flavors. One we or another I'd like to have our flavors in the store. We'll be working on it all through the start of next year

Yes you can squeeze the gel right onto the atomizer. With that said though, the factory is working on a special cartridge that will hold the gel. It's not done yet but once it's ready, I'll post pictures here for everyone to view.

So I thought I'd drop this little gift before everyone goes home for the holidays. Coming soon to the Vapor Talk Store, Vapor Gel. I would normally post this in the store area but because this is actually quite a significant change in the way we use liquid I thought I'd post here. I've posted some pictures below for everyone to have a look at. We have some samples that due arrive this week and I'll be sure to create a video for everyone to see how the new product works. No more leaking, longer usage. Due to arrive 2nd or 3rd month of 2011. It will be available at the Vapor Talk Store and Vapor Galaxy. Special thanks to Luke for his help.

Strange screenname but welcome to the forums. The eGo really is the way to go.

I'm going to sticky this topic lol Congrats Frank you get a stickied topic.

As far as I'm aware FDA has immunity against a monetary damages lawsuit. (Unbelievable)

I went ahead and merged the 2 topics about this eGo cartomizer.

You took the words right out of my mouth

Yup I agree. I mean studies are already starting to show that e cigarettes are a safer alternative. LEGALLY we can actually almost say that. The recent study done showed e cigs to be 1,000 times safer. Yet the FDA STILL WANTS to appeal this case. I mean they REALLY don't want to loose this. 3 time in court all the way to supreme? Give me a break. If the FDA looses again in supreme court. That's it done deal. They will have to regulate under the current tobacco laws. What's more important is how they classify it. Will a new class be created? Will it fall under cigars? Cigarettes? If they end up following the same laws as cigarettes, flavored e liquid would be removed and vendors could not sell online. For now, it's a waiting. It's going to be a ride, but the evidence is really stacking up against them. What more worrying is whether or not NJOY can continue with the legal fees. When Smoke Everywhere was involved in the case, the 1 year they where on board cots them over $400,000 in legal fees. They dropped out of the case due to cost. The FDA could be trying to push this solely to put financial pressure on NJOY.

Basically, the FDA is appealing the case, again. If the court accepts their appeal, we'll be back to square one all over again but this time in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will have to accept the case first though. If the "stay" is approved, it means that FDA will be granted the authority again to seize electronic cigarette shipments at the border.

FDA has asked for a rehearing and rehearing en banc and also filed a motion asking that the stay be reinstated pending a rehearing. (Stay meaning permission to again, continue seizing product at the border) This will now most likely go to the Supreme Court if they accept the case. One thing interesting to note is this from a member "Legal One" on ECF. He has been involved in the FDA case and wrote the following: FDA ct. app. motion reinstate stay pending rehearing.pdf FDA petition Ct. App. rehearing and rehearing en banc.pdf FDA ct. app. motion reinstate stay pending rehearing.pdf FDA petition Ct. App. rehearing and rehearing en banc.pdf

Yea I should have stated Cartomizers are the exception. Boge Soft Top cartomizers are hands down the best. Nobody has them beat in my opinion. Not even Joye Tech.
