First time dropping Aspire Nautilus
bcartervol98 replied to hutterz's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
I ordered 5 KPT 2 replacement glass and 5 Davide Mini replacement glass and still have all 10. I have dropped those tanks so many times on the boat, stood up with them on my lap, and all I have done is bent bases and broke drip tips. I have yet to break a glass lol. -
Choosing the right coil resistance, help!
bcartervol98 replied to Earthling789's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I pay $1.19 each for them regardless of how many I order unless I find a co-op to get in on. I don't really bargain shop because I have a vendor I trust and am really loyal to them. I do not mind paying a fraction more to feel 100% comfortable I am getting genuine products and quick cheap shipping. That said, I will never pay B&M prices unless I am someday forced to and if that day is coming, I will order every 1.8 ohm KPT coil in the US if I can LOL -
A good reminder how dangerous generic chargers are:
bcartervol98 replied to bcartervol98's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Excellent point. I am of the opinion based on my personal research of exploding batteries and stories similar when I started vaping that it is very very risky to charge your batteries using anything except a wall adapter. Also you should never leave them unattended like you said too. When I am in a position to need to leave them charging when I am not in the house I have a dutch oven that has a chip in the rim the perfect size to fit 4-5 charging cords. With the heavy lid and cast iron build I am certain it would suffice. Thing is I haven't used it in forever since I have so many batteries in rotation now. I think I could go a week and a half to two weeks at this point and never run out of batteries without charging them lol. -

I only use 1.8 ohm single coils and love em. I order them 10 boxes of 5 at a time and just stay stocked up. -
I think it is important to reiterate that cheap doesnt make something a good value. When it comes to supplies buy verified stuff and stay away from the FleaBay knockoff stuff. I cringe every time I read someone post something like "I just got 4 AW IMR 18650s for $10!" and I think, no you didn't. You got AW IMR wrapped cheapies. When it comes to batteries, chargers, and rebuildables-meters buy good stuff, not cheap stuff. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-27515446

New vaping dude with a few questions.
bcartervol98 replied to Bearded Ninja's topic in Introduce Yourself
I am 90%+ sure the Kanger universal single coils will work in them. I much prefer the single coil over the double coils. They do everything I need them to do and use less liquid in the process. -
My favorite tank on any battery is the Anyvape Davide Mini (single coil). I have heard others say it is the closest thing to a dripping flavor producer on the market. I wouldn't know dripping never really appealed to me. I do know it is by far my favorite tank I have tried over the past year +.

Whats your TOP e Liquid Vendor?!
bcartervol98 replied to Tony8806's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Fuzion is all I vape right now and 99% of the time its a flavor called Endless Summer. It has probably been 4-5 months since I had anything else in a tank. Fits my taste absolutely perfect. -
E-Juice Usage per Week - What is Yours?
bcartervol98 replied to Earthling789's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Yea everyone is different but I would never advise a new vaper quitting analogs to start below 18mg and would strongly recommend 24mg. -
I am pretty loyal to sweet-vapes.com They have every color in stock now. It should be here tomorrow.

Hana Modz Protects Its Trademark
bcartervol98 replied to charliestheman's topic in General Vaping Discussion
One of my employees has a battery from one of the local awful shops that is branded "JoyTech" not "JoyeTech" lol. -

What do you carry your supplies in on the go?
bcartervol98 replied to rbalenbin's topic in New Vapers Forum
I am also a "one flavor" guy except on occasions. I gave away everything else once I tasted my ADV. Usually my supplies consist of two batteries and two tanks one in my pocket and one in a cup on my desk as a backup. I no longer even keep a charger at work I am very confident in my equipment. Now for a weekend trip or vacation I use a toiletry bag and load everything into that. Has always worked for me! -
Can too much heat hurt e Liquid?
bcartervol98 replied to Patricia's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
I am not sure it is completely fallacious but I have never steeped a liquid I didn't like out of the box and all of a sudden it was awesome. I do know my flavor I vape is good at the top of a 125ml bottle but the bottom is flat out awesome. -
It will never match a mechanical for vapor production, but I cannot tell any difference between my Vamo and my Spinner V2 as far as vapor production goes, or my others as far as that goes. I just like them because I am not in a vapor production contest and at times I wish I could have less vapor (as my office fills up again and one of my employees walks in waving his hands in it lol). Mods and APVs are fine, most love them. They are just not for me because there is just more to go wrong and like I said a million times, I am a find what works and stick with it guy. Once you hold and use the V2 1600mah Spinner you will not call it a little Ego battery I assure you lol.

I love Brian at Veteran but generally order my stuff from Sweet-Vapes.com because that is where I started and I am a loyal guy. They are the same price but Brian keeps a few colors where SV has them all. I do try to order something from Brian from time to time because he is such an awesome guy. If you are wanting Black or Rainbow colorsIwould order from him.

I have in Vision Spinner 4 1300mah all over a year old. A couple have been submerged in water. They still all last me 18-24 hours depending on how I vape. 0 issues 4 650mah only about 3-4 months old. Last me 10-12 hours. Mainly use these when I need a small piece to be a little stealthy 1 900mah about 4 months old that my wife uses so not sure how long it lasts bet there have been 0 issues 1 V2 1600mah and another on the way. When it arrives I expect to gift my Vamo to someone because it is the best Ego battery I have ever had my hands on. If you had that many issues you probably got knockoffs or a bad batch possibly imo. That's the only logical way I could even conceive someone calling these garbage. I have only three items that have given me 0 issues since I started vaping over a year ago. Those are Vision Spinners, Anyvape Davide Minis, and KPT2. Everything else has had at least small issues.

Second what Tam said about the Spinner!

has anyone order from sun-vapers.com before?
bcartervol98 replied to azizcansaythis's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Much prefer sweet-vapes.com for best selection and service. I ordered some clearos there when I first started vaping and they were knockoffs I'm fairly certain. You already have chargers and everything? And yes those two are compatible. -
I can't heat up my coils!
bcartervol98 replied to Tony8806's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
Pretty sure Sonys are made in China too like virtually every piece of vape gear lol. -

nic level makes that much difference?
bcartervol98 replied to jerryjoe's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
I will agree. I easily gave away over 1000ml of liquids that I ordered that I didn't like lol. Now I found my "holy grail" but everyone's "holy grail" is different. All I know is if you want the highest quality ingredients then bargain shopping might not be your best option. From what I gather other than Fuzion and Fadora that I have tried and are great there is also Five Pawns that is top shelf. I would sleep confident knowing I got top notch ingredients ordering from any of these three. -
nic level makes that much difference?
bcartervol98 replied to jerryjoe's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
It really depends on the liquid. The same PG/VG % and Nic Levels will have a different throat hit with different flavors. The Endless Summer I rave about at 18mg has 0 throat hit and a ton of flavor with no nicotine taste. At 24mg it has a very strong throat hit and a strong nicotine taste. I would not recommend dropping below 18mg at this point (just my 2 cents) unless you try it in a small way first to see if it satisfies your cravings. I have vaped 1 year and 1 month and still cannot do 12mg and to be honest have no desire to. I thought I did, tried it a couple times then ordered 24mg to mix it back up to 18. Remember, Nicotine is not the enemy, tobacco is. -

I have 0 throat hit in my Fuzion liquids at 18 mg. -

bcartervol98 replied to jerryjoe's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
I went from 24 to 18 and still occasionally 24. I have no plans to drop lower than 18 ever. Dropping in nic levels is not a requirement lol
