Bump Everytime You Buy Something New
irwink replied to blucavvy's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Got an eVic Supreme a few days ago. Using it right now with a kfl at 18w. Nice vape. Only complaint is the usb port cover. Took it off and tossed it. No more complaints. -
A good reminder how dangerous generic chargers are:

Absolutely not true. I have about 50 years of electronics experience starting as a kid and 43 years in the electrical industry. Am currently the sole electrical safety guy for an industrial manufacturer with several remote sites nationwide in case you want to argue. Avoid cheap knockoff products and the odds are in your favor. Even given that there will always be a chance of a catastrophic failure in electrical/electronic components of the highest quality. That risk is all around us every day. -
E-Juice, Batteries, Tanks, and Airlines?
irwink replied to Earthling789's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I flew into Newark, NJ today for work. I fly frequently and vape the entire way. 3 30 ml bottles in carry on. Batteries one each in snack size ziplocks. Fixed voltage eGo in my shirt pocket topped with a mini protank that I fill after going through security. This is what I stealth vape the whole way. Never had a problem. -
How I overdosed and what happened.

Another contender for the 2014 Darwin Awards. -
I've seen them on Madvape's site but haven't tried 'em.

Do you all carry all your juices, tanks etc with you daily?
irwink replied to vmshaw's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I used to sweat things when I left for work but have dependable gear now that I've gotten comfortable with. I carry 2 18650 devices with fresh batteries and a full tank apiece for driving and at my desk, an eGo with kpt mini for walking around. For just in case I keep an empty kpt and some juice in my laptop bag. -
I can only speak for the kfl+. I'm very happy with mine, have no issues and it's an easy platform to build coils for.

I own a Provari, 2 Semovars, an eVic, Vamo, Sigelei Zmax and other stuff. To be honest I wouldn't lose a whole lot of sleep if I learned all I could use were the Vamo or Zmax for the rest of my life. The Semovars and Provari to me perform marginally better but not night and day better. For me their main advantages are not strict vape performance. I'm very pleased strictly with the performance of all of the above. As with other products there's a lot of hype and people merely wanting to believe their device performs head and shoulders better than the rest. I have no doubt they have convinced themselves that they are right. By nature people always want to convince themselves they've made the better choice and seek justification. Reinforcement via other enthusiasts via internet forums seeking reinforcement themselves just build on it. For me the belief that 33 mhz device vape performance is drastically inferior is flawed. Its power output may not be as pretty on an oscilloscope but I personally don't watch an oscilloscope while vaping. I do often think about the old story of the emperor's new clothes...

I've had a couple of 120V wall adapters without enough output to adequately supply an eGo usb charger. Same symptoms - the batteries would never come to full charge. When I charge an eGo batt now I just use a usb port on my ups or computer.
-
Agreed. I still carry a fixed voltage eGo around at work because it fits nicely in my shirt pocket with a mini pt. 1.8Ω is just right for me.
-
If you came to a vape forum to ask that question you probably have no business even thinking about opening a retail business of any kind. No offense but it's not something one just jumps into.
-
Cool stuff. I'm starting to feel that tinkering itch... I need another mod like a hole in the head but wth.
-
Do some research and choose the one with the features you want coupled with some degree of reliability over time. From my experience people will often tell you to get what is their own personal favorite. Their's may not necessarily wind up being your favorite. That's true for a whole host of products beside e-cig stuff.

NEED SOME HELP WITH VV/VW SETTINGS PLEASE!
irwink replied to Masta Splint's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Yeah I buy mostly 1.8Ω Kanger coils and they always read somewhere around 2Ω. No big deal as far as I'm concerned. I use vw exclusively in the 7-8 watt range so my pv's auto adjust to varying resistances. -
The link I supplied is in the USA. Vaperev is in LA. That's where I bought both of mine.
-
I meant to mention that I bought one a few months ago and bought a second a couple of weeks ago in a different finish. http://shop.vaperev.com/devices/variable-voltage/svoemesto/semovar-mod.html
-
Svoemesto Semovar. Doubt you'll find a smoother vape. Modular construction. Russian engineered and manufactured in Germany. Uses the Nivel chip.
-
You might want to make sure the top cap, chimney and everything else is as tight as possible. I've had mine leak a little when everything isn't screwed tight.

I'm vaping some mbv peanut butter with about 20% cinnamon roll blended in right now. Probably my current favorite juice.
-
The mbv butternut flavors are very good imo and ones that are vapable right out the mailbox. My last 230ml bottle of peanut butter is down to about 75ml or so. 'Bout time to place another order!
-
I'm the opposite. Almost every juice flavor I've gotten from mbv was very good. The ones I didn't like were almost all random sample flavors they tossed in free with my order. None of them were flavors I would have ordered anyway based on my tastes so I wasn't surprised.
-
I've ordered more winners than losers from mbv based largely on reviews and knowing my own tastes. I have nothing at all negative to say about them. Ordering based on reviews is always a crapshoot as different people like different things. My luck with mbv though has been better than most vendors. Again, I have never had anything but positive dealings with them. They are an excellent vendor imo.
-
Welcome and hang in. It gets easier.
-
Never tried their vanilla but Tasty Vapor does have some good juice.
-
Kinda heavy on the vg% but not unheard of. Could cause wicking issues depending on what delivery device you're using. Personally I go with 80% pg and 20% vg. - just the opposite. Some people go with 100% vg but their delivery device has to be able to accomodate that without wicking issues, dry hits etc.
