  1. Carto with a tank, IMO is better than dripping, but close. Then again I think dripping on an ego with an ego is fairly frigid, even with the cone. Avoid, the chinese lavatube. There are plenty of good mods that are US made, better and around the same price. Plenty of people have had the LT's break on them already. As far as tube mods go you have Variable Voltage options like the Buzz Pro and Infinity Pro from notcigs. You have the Provari as well. The VVV from kalamzoo vapor shop is 5V regulated, good idea. It works with about three different batteries at 3.7V and two different batteries at regulated 5V. You can use the DC cartos with those and a wider variety of atty that will be a warmer vape that the 3.2V or less with the Ego. The Silverbullet and other multi battery unregularted tube mods like the Bolt and such are all also good and durable. Good luck...
  2. If you get the tank with the DC cart just make sure you get some LR cartos to go with it in stainless steel. You can punch them or slot them yourself if you are so inclined, if not just get the prepunched ones. DC cartos are not the way to go on an Ego. The best thing about tanks is a constant and consistent source of liquid. They even out your hits big time.
  3. I'd drop Mike a line or pm him over at vapersforum. he is lespaul77 or something like that. I bet otherwise it kicks ***.
  4. I would go with the Provari or the BP. Simple, variable voltage, and nice and m1a1 tanks so you don't have to refill constantly. Also American made and around 150$ for the setup. The BP is what I am getting next.
  5. The ego tank system? It is just a large atomizer with a cartridge that holds more liquid then the average cart. If anything it is less complex than a carto. The issues with these are clean the atomizer fairly regularly and minor leaking issues and a fairly cold vape.
  6. I personally boil mine and then do my best to dry them out a bit and then hit them with a hair drier for a bit and them leave them to air dry with a desiccator or just out in open air for 48 hours.
  7. I don't know how close to Indy you are but there is a big vape store there and lots of people seem to recommend them. This way you can go in buy and get advice and maybe even help with liquid. If we had a place like that in Boston that is what I would do.
  8. Cool. So far I have met a total of like three people that have vaped around here. Two were introduced to it by me. I have a friend that worked with people who vaped at State Street in Boston and they have since been told no vaping at the desk during work. They have been sent outside with the analog users.
  9. The link works. The girl in the picture has a nice set up. Pretty sweet.
  10. http://bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/health-wellness/2011/12/05/cigarettes-threat-therapy/qcPg62KPXglAwXi9nWMdhN/story.html This may be only of use to online Globe subscribers because they and the NYT haven't figured out how to make any coin in the modern world. I will try and dig up the article elsewhere. Needless to say it seemed fairly well balanced and well written for the most part. It seems odd to me that the American Cancer Society seems so dead set against vaping. They seem to not have a clue.
  11. What is most funny is that the one dude sticks the ends up his nose and then goes right back to vapeing it. Boogers in the mouth!
  12. As a recent convert to e-cigs myself here is what I did. I bought a 510 and then went out and bought single Blu's until it showed up. Now I think they don't last for beans and draw like hell, but at the time I was happy because I didn't know any better. So my 510 came in because I wanted one that looked like a cigarette. It was cool. Still is cool. It was decent enough. I started reading around here and the dozens and dozens of threads that said buy an Ego. So I did. Why.......I mean whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did I waste my time with anything else? It boggles my mind how much better the whole experience is. I'm still learning. I have a lot to learn, but damnit if there is something better than a straight up Ego with decent juice and a low rez carto I can't imagine what that would be like. Don't make the mistake I made. Just buy the VT deal. It is a great deal. Buy some EMDCC's or some Boge 510D LR cartos and you will never look back.
  13. I can't imagine futzing with a tank system. But I am a noob as well. It looks like so much work. I don't know maybe if I had friends that used them and cash to fail at it but it seems there are too many spots for failure. I am stoked with my low rez cartos. Frankly they produce more than enough vapor.
  14. That was pretty funny, irrespective of common sense.
  15. Man that place is bananas. (vaporrenu) It is almost too good. They have everything and will do it anyway you want. I ordered three from there. I can't believe the combinations and shear number of options and flavors. . Thanks for the skinny. I hope this takes care of the matter. I want to try new stuff but every time I get a PG flavor it doesn't sit well with me.
  16. Sorry if this is rehashing old things here but I believe in being concise. Who are the best 100% VG liquid suppliers? To me it seems like most people blend. Or most people at least prefer PG. I think I have come to the conclusion that I am not a PG person at all. It tastes funny to me. In fact when I vape PG liquid no matter what flavor it all kinda tastes the same to me. At least the aftertaste is the same. VG seems better to me, little to no aftertaste and clearer flavor and more vapor. It kinda boggles my mind that so many people seem to like PG and remark on how much better it tastes. Does anyone else feel this way? So who are your favorites?
  17. noXious is spot on. Plenty of substances or compounds have multiple names. It is likely that the stuff is VG, because realistically Propylene Glycol can referred to as Glycerol but it is really infrequent.
  18. Why would a pH test measure nicotine level? Also mjradik is kinda correct about the overall pH of the liquid. Although if nicotine has a certain pH I'm not sure that the citric acid or whatever adjuncts would have an effect on the overall pH of the solution. In other words there are strong acids and weak acids. Their relative pH could be similar but strength and concentration be different. One would have to consult a food chemist to know how the other products might effect the overall pH.
  19. Who knew so many vapers would be musicians? Our stuff is a bit harder so consider thyself forewarned. http://thetenaflyvipers.bandcamp.com/ Everybody's stuff sounds great.
  20. Nice. I am in a band in Boston as well. http://thetenaflyvipers.bandcamp.com/ One more Boston band and we could have a vape show. I know Swid from The Acro-Brats and Razors In The Night and probably a few other bands is vaping a bit as well.
  21. Ordered Christopher. Thank you again....!
  22. Awesome Chris. Thanks. Also if I order from VT and FV can I combine my order or do the separate companies have to do thing separately?
  23. I want to get a green Ego batt with LR DC Boge cartos and a charger. If I buy the battery does it come with the cone? I don't wanna buy a whole kit just the pieces, unless someone out there. (i'm looking at you FV/VT) sells a starter kit in green. I think I want to do it this way because I kinda know what I want. Can anyone out there hook me up? Also when the heck is Dulcis going to come back in stock?
  24. I think you'll be happy with the mega DC cartos. I get plenty of TH with a 510 megas with my 510. Plus cartos are so easy to fill. No fussing. Pour some liquid on the plastic cap thingy and slowly press the cap end down in. Wipe it clean and good to go. I have no issue with the juice either. I also think TH and vapour are independent things. Look at the home page for the blog on E-Liquid. IMO, 24mg VG is what you should be using. I personally like VG better than PG and the TH and vapor production are higher IMO. People say the VG stuff tastes better but I think it tastes like crap. So if TH is Vapor is what you are looking I would be using VG.
  25. Right Jeff. Every industry has to do QC testing. If you make anything from drugs to toys you need to ensure that you are producing what people are paying for. That goes double for something that is potentially harmful. Also the mislabeling makes no sense. Say you are producing ink. You are making blue for a specific type of press. You punch up a formulation and then weight the ingredients like a cake and mix them and then label them. You then run tests on the outgoing batch to ensure everything you did was correct and won't mess anything up. You also monitor incoming batches of product used to make your ink. That way it ensures that the formulation you are using is the same as it was the day before and so on. You also either deliver an implicit guarantee that your product is what it says it is, or you deliver a certificate of analysis showing it to be that way. You keep a history of these things so you can track what you have made in case there is a problem you can answer it quickly. The fact that these people haven't done this little bit is scary. This kinda crap seems to happen when businesses like this sort of thing are in it's infancy. Growing pains if you will and then the market regulates, until it gets out of control someone gets hurt and then the government steps in. I'm not sure regulation is a bad thing if screw ups like this continue to happen. Right Chris and Jeff. Every industry has to do QC testing.
