If a clearomizer leaks it is faulty. The CE4s did leak from time to time, but after a month of straight T2 use I keep 4 full plus one attached to a battery in my case at all times and none have leaked a drop. They are designed to seal. I carry mine in my pocket and generally leave it laying on its side on my desk. T2s are very good about not leaking and super easy to fill. The atomizer head is above the rim of the tank on those so there is virtually no way to get liquid into the hole in the top unlike the CE4s where it is virtually impossible to not get liquid in there.

I am not the guy for that advice either. I have used two attys total, the CE4 which I did not like and the Kanger T2 which I love. Another piece of advice. Dont get too hung up on finding everything in one place. I get my hardware from theveteranvaper.com, my batteries from sweet-vapes.com, and my liquids from vapedudes.com and sweet-vapes.com. I will stand behind any of those three sites 100%. I think what you are talking about is a "direct drip" atomizer where you drop a few drops in, vape it, then repeat over and over again.

Yea Spearmint and Strawberry Fields are 100ml orders for me. Too bad Sweet-Vapes only offers 30ml as their biggest bottle.
-
That is just stupid if you ask me. Dipping is one of the more disgusting things I see people do. I am lucky my employer sees the value in me quitting smoking and is very supportive of me vaping in the workplace.

I think this will work. You may have to upload to Photobucket or another photo sharing site then paste the IMG link here. This is my case on my desk at work a few weeks ago. There are CE4s in this pic, I had not switched to the Kanger T2 as of then.

I have never heard anything other than to use them until they die, then fully charge, and repeat from anyone whose advice I trust. I also truly believe that although lithium ion batteries do not develop a memory like the old NiCad batteries did, their life is not determined by use as much as charging cycles. This makes me believe wholly in using them till they blink, then charging fully.

I am a big reviewer and, unless like some of the places like eliquidmarket they "vet" their reviews before publishing them, they will respond. Personally I would just not worry about it, but I am fortunate enough for a $20 mistake to not be a big deal and not worth the hassle. Others may feel differently. I would just bash them everywhere you can write a review and never order from there again. I am feeling repetitive here, but for hardware you will not get better quality and customer service than from Brian at theveteranvaper.com. Like my 2 liquid suppliers, he is the only place I go for attys and accessories.

The normal life span of a lithium ion e-cig battery is about 300 charges from everything I have read.

VaporLeaf shipping was fast, and they were very responsive to my questions. My only problem with them is the one flavor I tried from them is among the worst I had ever tried. Again, taste is subjective, but when I shipped all those I gave away last month to Tam the lid on the "Denver Dusk" had leaked a little and she even commented on the musty smell lol. I have stopped paying attention to reviews on liquids and each time I order my 100ml bottles of my all day vape flavors, I usually add one or two 10ml bottles of something new to try.
-
I do not know much about them at all, probably decent batteries but I am not an expert there. The 4 I have are the first 4 I have owned. Personally, I would just get 2 Vision Spinner 1300mah to start. Sweet-Vapes.com has a good supply last time I looked for $24.95 each.
-
Sounds a lot like my experience with "SunVapers" out of San Diego. Ordered 10 CE4s and every one leaked and tasted like they had been soaking in vegetable oil or something. I just threw them away and wrote it off and learned to only order from vendors I trust and anyone selling things a LOT cheaper than the reputable places I know....well there is a reason for it.
-
I would almost puke if i accidentally hit a menthol cig, but I have stopped thinking about my PV as a "cig" and have branched out. It happens to everyone that vapes a long time. Smoking murders your tastebuds and as they come back, your taste will change. I ordered 4 30ml bottles of Traditional Tobacco when I found it to be a good "drinking" vape. That was over a month ago and I have yed to go through the first bottle, but have killed 50ml of Spearmint lol. Go figure.
-
Again I disclaim that, when it comes to flavors, it is extremely subjective. What tastes good to me is not necessarily what tastes good to others. A lot of people love liquids that I would not vape if I had a gun to my head and flavors I like others may detest equally badly. I gave away a bunch of flavors I tried and didnt like about a month ago after trying a little bit of everything. The only thing for certain for me is that Sweet-Vapes.com is my go to supplier for tobacco and VapeDudes is my go to supplier for everything else. For example I ordered some "Dekang" liquids after reading great reviews, and they tasted like moldy sweat socks smell. For me, finding the right PG/VG mixture and nicotine levels is almost as important as the flavors I like. I bet I would like some of the flavors I gave away had I not ordered 16-18mg and 50-50 at first. Live and learn lol.

As far as tobacco goes, I have found FOR ME, the only one close to the real thing is "Traditional Tobacco" from sweet-vapes.com. I order it in 80-20 24mg. The American Standard from VapeDudes has a strooooong Maple Taste to it, and I am not a fan of their Classic Tobacco either. The only flavors I do not get from VapeDudes are Tobacco flavors and have found that Sweet-Vapes.com and their line of "Signature Tobacco" and especially their "Traditional Tobacco" is as close as it gets. For me the flavors I have in rotation are Spearmint VapeDudes 70-30 24mg (I never once smoked a menthol, but the Spearmint tastes almost exactly like double-mint gum and I love it, has become an all day vape for me) Strawberry Fields VapeDudes 70-30 24mg Juicy Peach 80-20 24mg from sweet-vapes.com Traditional Tobacco 80-20 24mg from sweet-vapes.com Just ordered 50ml of Blue Honey and Candy Cane (peppermint) from VapeDudes that shipped today, looking forward to trying those Just a note, when I found the tobacco I liked I thought I was in heaven. Then as time passed I have found I am not fond of the flavor of tobacco as an every day vape. I reserve that flavor for when I am drinking beer or liquor and really want a smoke. It works, and for me is the closest thing I have tried but I would branch out and try different things.

My 1000mah EgoT batteries last about 24-36 hours and my 1300mah Spinners last about the same since i am using a somewhat higher voltage on those. I always wait until mine is fully dead to recharge although I remember reading the Lithium Ion batteries do not develop a memory. The way I do it now it is hard to tell though because I simultaneously use two now. My Spearmint, Strawberry Fields, and Peach I use the 1000mah standard batteries and for my Tobacco and Coffee flavors I use the Spinners. I usually have both loaded and switch between them. Seems like I am charging about every 3rd or 4th day this way, and still have one of each fully charged in my case when the other dies. Having 4 batteries really takes the charging pressure off. My wife has the same kit so basically it is like having 8 batteries but again, with as long as these things last I never have had more than one dead at the same time because I have chargers everywhere. One for the boat, one for the car, 2 at home, and my wife and I both keep one at work lol.

Not a ton more vapor production but I use 80-20 and am not concerned about clouds of vapor its plenty but better throat hit for sure. I use Kanger T2 sometimes called Ego CC Longwick Clearomizers. I generally use my stock batteries for fruit and minty flavors and my spinner for tobacco and spicier flavors.

James Gandolfini aka Tony Soprano. Was my favorite all time series. At 51 way too early.

I love my Vision Spinner 1300mah, easily would be my recommendation. I have two of those and two eGoT 1000mah. Sweet-Vapes.com is where I got my Spinners, $24.95 each.

Everywhere and anywhere. My productivity at work is far higher since my "smoke break" consists of me grabbing my PV and hitting the button. So far I have vaped in a hospital room with the permission of my cardiologist, in my office at work, in bathrooms at restaurants and on an airplane, in our "non smoking" condo at the beach, all places I would have to go outside before. I also stop at the store a LOT less. The thing I love the most beyond that are the "Man you smell a lot better" and my boss commented my office now smells like scented candles instead of an ash tray.

Just passing along, they have a promo not requiring a code in anticipation of their vacation. The message is as follows, I stocked up on a few 50 and 100ml bottles to get the savings "We will be having a stock-up SALE in preparation for our summer break. The SALE will begin on June 15th and end on June 25th. During the SALE purchase any 50ml bottle for $25 and any 100ml bottle for $45! We will be closed June 25th through July 5th to enjoy quality time with our families. Thank you for your support! Vape On & Vape Strong!"

The "Throat Hit" that mimics smoking to a certain degree, as well as the flavor, comes from the PG(Propylene Glycol) and the vapor production comes from the VG (Vegetable Glycerine) in the liquid. I prefer 70 or 80% PG and 30 or 20% VG depending on what the vendor offers. I find I get plenty of vapor from those mixes as well as a nice throat hit even at the lower voltage I like for most flavors. With that said, all flavors are different. Some 80-20 produces more vapor than other 80-20 mixtures. Its all about finding what works for you. I like a good throat hit and strong flavor, so I go with a higher PG mixture. Also PG is thinner and more easily absorbed by wick type delivery systems like the Kanger T2 I use. Pure VG is difficult to use in a lot of clearomizers using the wick system because of how thick it is.

twss Sorry, couldnt help myself lol

I have never tried one, but the CE4s are as well, probably a reason i LOVE the T2s so much.

The Njoy King Review, Its that GOOD......And BAD
bcartervol98 replied to Atari's topic in e Cigarette Reviews
If 10 pack of these were around $5 they might be worth it. At $6.99 each with about a 2-3 hour life span they could get quite expensive. I have known people to quit using them as a "cold turkey" aid but they are not feasible at all as a regular vape. -
