Im in Cincinnati pretty much. Well about 40 minutes east of Cincy.

Quick update. It has now been a whole month since I had my last analog. I feel great. Only problem is that all the money I'm saving on cigs I'm spending on ecig gear!!

My mod plan is still in the planning stages, but it's coming along. I have all the wiring diagrams I need, but have to decide on batteries and such before I start cutting holes in expensive exotic woods. This will be a tabletop model, something I can sit on the end table beside my recliner, totally for home use. An AC cord would be really cool, so I wouldn't ever have to charge.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, please share. My mind is on overload with all the info out there!!

Dude Im the same way. I have an addiction. I just got 4 packages today in the mail lol. I dont care about the money really I have that, Im glad Im healthier now and I just love vaping!! Ive spent about 500 bucks on kits, liquid, and gear already. Sad part is I only been vaping a little over a month. LOL

[Rip Topaz]

Ha!! I can top that, just not on the money end.

I've only been vaping a month, and I'm already building my first mod!!

[Strykker118A]

Sweet man. I just got my first mod in the mail today. Got myself a Big Kazoo from Kalamazoo Vapor Shop. Its a 5 volt boxmod and I have to say that I love it. I cant put it down to save my life. Vaping at 5 volts is so sweet Im glad I found this thing while still in my first steps in my vaping journey. If you havnt vaped over the 3.2/3.7 volts, you dont know what your missin. What kind of mod are you building?

[Rip Topaz]

It's a wooden (of course) box mod, it'll have an 18650 battery, UV LED(s), and 510 connections.

Everything else is still being decided. I have the box built and ready to go. Just gotta get the parts ordered, probably Monday.

[Strykker118A]

Sweet man, well git r done and post pics on this thread if ya can. Good luck, hope all goes well. Vape on!

The biggest problem is going to be finding empty cartos with the proper threading to fit the battery. If I can do that, I'm gold. Otherwise, I'll be building my own PV since the individual parts are available online. Just a bit bummed to have spent $40 on something I'll be replacing eventually anyway.
Kinda wish I'd have waited and researched a bit more before switching from analogs.

Don't sweat a bad purchase. I bought a disposable for my first PV. I decided then and there I was going to quit. I went back and bought a 510 and a PCC. It was OK to start. I them moved up to a Riva and then an eGo t setup. I then found this site and moved along until I found what I liked.

I have since gave away my 510 and PCC to help out a person who was on the fence. I will do the same with my Rivas and eGos. Good luck and keep on Vapin.

LOL, I think I would go back to smoking if it was not for all the cool PV gear! I have spent the same $ on PVs and such as I would have smokes, maybe more. But it is fun for me and keeps me not smoking so I dont care. I have lots of mods, batteries, juice. It has become a hobby for me and my health has improved alot. Enjoy the ride, stay on the quest for a great all day vape.

[Rip Topaz]

So I placed an interesting order last night. I got an eGo battery and charger (for when I'm out), a 510 tank cartomizer (for the all day, at home vape), a few different dual coil 510 cartos (just to see what's out there), a bunch of Trustfire 14500 batteries and charger (may use 18650's in future builds), and then the fun stuff.

Parts. Lots of connectors, LEDs (the cool UV ones!!), battery holders, switches (including one of the expensive C&K ones), and all the fixins to wire up the mod boxes I've made over the last few days. I couldn't stop at just one.

So I'm going to take some measurements and try my hand at designing a nice ergonomic, exotic wood box mod. Given my background with musical instruments, I'm sure there'll be pix I come of intricate inlays, crazy fiber optic displays, and all other kinds of goofiness.

I'll post some pix as soon as I figure out how to, using the mobile app.

I can't figure out how to post pix here, but the mod was a success!!

I've been using it as an "at home" vape, since its got a bit of heft to it. Decent enough sized box that it'll sit on the table by itself with a tank carto screwed into the top. Killer amounts of vapor!!

The KR 808 is now on the shelf. I may throw it into the car so I have a backup, but it has at this point outlived its usefulness.

I'm working on several more mods, as well as matching USB passthroughs. I have a ton of great looking, matching scraps, so each mod I'm making, I'm making a matching passthrough.

Modding is fun!! Try it.

[Strykker118A]

There should be an image button on here somewhere. Then you just add the url or whatever that crap is lol

[Rip Topaz]

Let's see if this works. If it does, this is my first 3.7v box mod.

Exactly my logic behind getting the ego-t. I've been using what's available locally, so my choices aren't all that great.

As long as you have a credit/debit card your options are limitless and I must say it feels good getting packages. Im like a kid on Christmas day when my packages come. Shoulda seen me today when the mail ran. I literally ran to the mailbox for my Madvapes and Vaporpro orders, lol.
