I wouldn't trust my $100-$160 mods to checked luggage. I'd carry them with me, but keep the batteries seperate from the mod to keep from being hassled. I don't really feel the need to vape on the plane, but sitting in the terminal waiting for a delayed flight - its a must have item.

If nothing else, just go with the old coffee trick. Nothing works better than a hot cup-o-joe to disguise that vape. Prolly wouldn't work with a 7.4 V monster mod, but works great for PG juice vapes at 3.7v. Just hold it in an extra second and you're golden!

Good luck!

Sorry, but I simply must respond to this specific statement. A couple of weeks back I was getting tired of everyone praising that 'Vision eGo Top Coil Cartomizer' thingy... so I went ahead and ordered myself 5 of them... oh, and a couple of the LR version ones. I just had to see what all the hype was about! Could it be? Could we possibly have something that everyone simply must have when they vape? I don't know... but I was certainly excited to give these bad boys a shot! So, they finally arrived about 3 days or so ago and I immediately started filling a couple of them up to give em a go! Well... let me just say this: I have not been this unhappy about something 'vape related' since I first started over 2 years ago! I have now filled 4 out of the 5 standard ones to see if it was possibly just a bad piece. Nope! They ALL suck major !! I mean... talk about major reduction in quality of flavor coming from those things! I didn't have a single juice make me a 'happy vaper' yet... and I'm honestly trying to give them a fair shot to 'break-in' if they honestly really need to do so for 3+ days now. Not only is the flavor terribly weak... a couple of them even give off a nasty taste. One thing I can say for certain however... is that they are all just like the next one... very consistent I guess you could say. Unfortunately, they are all consistently poor/weak to say the least. I truly did have high hopes for these little things... I was seriously going to be super happy if they were all that everyone was making them out to be! I should have just reminded myself of what I said when I tried CE2's when they first came out: I have NEVER liked 'top coil' type carto designs... every single time I tried them I got the same CRAPPY outcome... Horrible / weak flavor !

No thank you 'Vision eGo Stardust Thingy' that everyone is raving about!!
(Unless they improve them somehow along the lines and I don't have to worry that there will be NO FLAVOR !)

I think I will stick to what works for me: 'Direct Dripping' and/or 'Carto Tanks' !

Sorry, I just had to put my .02 out there too !

Thought the guys would be able relate.....and yes, we really are that mean.

I want Gorilla Juice to be stronger. I asked, but no response other than that they mailed out my order. Very Sad.

My kgos are dead. I've gone through two chargers already. Very Sad.

I helped a very special person out, today.. at least, I hope I helped. Very Happy.

I found out that I helped some unexpected and unknown person to make their e-cig experience work better for them. Very Happy.

Life should not be measured by Sad and Happy moments. I think that Kipling said something about that:

".. treat Triumph and Disaster, both imposters just the same."

During Sad moments, Kipling's poem "If" is very iffy.

During Happy moments it's very nearly the best advice on how to live given to Man.

Deal, Free ebook on DIY is now officially in the works. I hope I can write better via book than I do here. Imma hire kitsune as my editor, and all of you kids as my test puppets AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAMAWAHHAHAHA!


Seriously, Imma do it.

LOL! Ok.. The flavors are muted. You'll find that a lot of people concede to that one... However, some people disagree. I wish I disagreed.. but, I don't. The flavors are muted, imho. Fine. The dry scratchy throat hit, however... well, all I can gather on that one is either you are not allowing your wick to absorb the juice fully or that your wick isn't absorbing the juice properly (someone punched a few small holes in it and said it worked great). Mine didn't need that.. but I have the ego elegance without the new adaptation (no metal spout in mine).. don't know if that makes a difference.

As for the wicking issue... someone described it pretty well.. the juices darken in the 'tank'.. perhaps because the wick has difficulty absorbing all the elements of the juice simultaneously. All that said, the device works adequately. I like mine.. I put Bobas Bounty in there.. it never clogs. I've had it for over a month and use it every day; it's still going strong. I am not a great fan of the molasses flavor in the Bobas, but I like the tobacco flavor.. so, to me.. the ego elegance (Vision Ego Transparent Clearomizer) works fine. Is it as good as your standard boge lr 2.0? Such a hard question to answer...

My take on the 306DCA can be read here:

FedEx just dropped off package #2, GotVapes is the only hold out but I am certain it will make it by Monday. It can Take its time for I now have enough back up for 6 months at least.

We all have to find our own path with vaping or not vaping. Even if he goes back to smoking....vaping will still be there when he comes back.

Haven't tried anything different yet than the 18 mg 70 pg 30 vg mix except to accidently reverse the pg and vg content on my Ginger's Ry4 mix ...too smooth for me. LOL!

Yes, it's the eGoT (1000 mah) and has 510 threading. Both the kgo and the ego are pretty much the same. The eGo is a bit more expensive than the kgo, though. You can buy an eGo battery for about $17.95 or so.. where a kgo battery is only $8.50. Please someone correct me if you've found cheaper prices. I can understand the price difference.. the eGoT battery is more sturdy, not as flashy--more discreet. There is a power difference, but it's almost negligible, imho. So, even if you have to get 3 egoTs to 2 kgos (and that's a bit of overkill), I think it would be worth it. MInd, I had an kgo fail on me after less than a week, along with its charger... so, I'm sure that adds to my reservation. I had a charger fail on me when charging my eGoT.. but the battery is fine... more than fine.

have you tried just plain old cartomizers without a tank? if you like CE2's then youll like just plain cartomizers. They are more consistent from what I found, been using the smoktech 1.7 single coils and boge SR and LR's. I think smoktech even has the xl and xxl sized cartomizers to hold more liquid

I did find a place that sells the emdccs for $9.95 for a pack of 5, and a co-op that sells the xl dual coil cartomizers for less than a dollar each (about 60 for $58)... so, that's good.

I haven't heard a peep out of my brother since Wednesday, so I'm just trying to stay positive. In retrospect, and don't hate me for this you guys, I think I would have gone with the ego setup.. I think they are of better construction. The kgos are a bit more powerful... really good for emdccs, but I just "feel" that the one little ego (1000 mah) that I have is just constructed better. It feels more secure... and..
I think they may even last longer.

Mind you, I've had issues with the chargers on both models.

That is what is keeping me from going to tanks.When you vape only a portion of the liquid get vaporised ,the rest would build up and either funk up the element or at least degrade the flavor of the liquid.In my opinion of course as there are a lot of tank fans.I think Boge carto's are the most cost effective for me as when they get funked up a new one is not that expensive.2 or 3 cartos and 2 bottles of liquid a week = $16.00 or $18.00 a week for me. That would have been a day and a half of Camel lights.

So happy, today. NIce to know that jeffb's wife's surgery went well, and that he has promised to wait on her for an entire month! I hope he's a good cook! I can see it now.. a beautiful tray .. of mods..

jeffb: "Here you go, darling.. we have coffee, creamer, bacon, waffles.."



(Seriously, good to know your wife is doing well. )

I barely slid under the wire for my atomizer went out on me leaving me with absolutely nothing. Less than 20min later my Great Grandson pulled up with 2 Carlson e-cigs but one had a bad battery (no problem) and one cart is tough to draw thru. He lives 72 miles away and I could not figure out how he knew I was in need for the only place I have confided the fact I was out was here. It turns out he called the wife to tell her he was coming and she told him and he lives in a much larger town.

As bad as these are they will hold me until my care package arrives (hopefully monday) and those will hold me until my order arrives

Well, it has begun.. my brother started Vaping exclusively 3 days ago. I spoke with him yesterday and he said that other than the first day when he felt a wave of depression, he is no longer craving a cigarette. He's quite amazed, actually.. very much surprised. And, he's loving the emdccs. I know that we may hit a rough patch right around the 2 week mark, and I am not sure how I'm going to deal with that one--one day at a time--but for the moment, he's perfectly content. He says the e-liquid from Liberty is a tad harsh on the first draw (Menthol Tobacco), but otherwise he's enjoying the taste. I have to remember to not talk about other flavors. As a noob, ignorance is bliss, I think.

@Monkey.. The Peppermint, double flavor, 70/30 sounds really good. I'm going to wait to suggest that to him, however.. If he starts faltering, I may just send that to him along with some sample coffee-like, fruit, and sweet flavors.. and maybe some Bobas Bounty.. Gorilla Juice.. and, and.. lol!

One thing that concerns me is the price of the emdcc,s! He loves them, but has anyone noticed how much more expensive they have become??? I'm going to have to find another cartomizer setup that is just as good. So far, I know that the Boge 2.0 LR cartos are not as good, imho. The only thing that has come close to me is the 306 atomizers. But, he already said that he's not interested in atomizers... too much fiddling. He likes things to be simple. When I spoke with him, he actually had already pre-filled 6 out of the 10 emdccs.. Oiy..

Yes, but an atty will last 3 weeks! And you can change flavors. An emdcc only lasts for 5 to 7 days, one flavor. I go through about 3 a week with refills because I like to have different flavors. I guess you pay for the convenience of not having to drip all the time. So, if an atty is $10 for 3 weeks with the same use, then the emdccs will run $45 in as much time -- minimum. And that doesn't even include e-liquid.. so, say another $30?

Still, my cigarettes would have cost $105 at $5 a pack for 3 weeks (pad). That said, I didn't quit cigarettes to save money. So, the best bet for my brother would be to not introduce him to other flavors for as long as I can... and to see if I can get him to start dripping. I think you go through less e-liquid while dripping, less cost all around.

Just a thought: If the cost of e-cigarettes become comparable to the cost of smoking, I think it would hurt the community more than they know. The cost of just getting started is worth it.. but if the cost of upkeep and continuance continues to increase as it has in only the few short months that I've been vaping (about a 25% or more increase)... I see real problems there. For now, it's within my budget, and I have room to play with, but that's not the case for everyone. As people on tight budgets try to economize, excessively reusing cartomizers.. or even innovating and modifying e-liquid delivery systems.. Things are liable to get out of hand. I understand that people are trying to make a living.. but with the tenuous situation that we are all in,... I just think things need to slow down a bit.

Just my 2 cents. For me, I'm happy with the vaping world and its community. I just want to keep it that way.

The best one is the one that you enjoy more than smokes. Price and.high tech dont matter when it comes to personal satisfaction. Personal satisfaction might include ease of use no fidgeting or it might include getting your engineer friends active in your vaping gear. Then of course there are all the in betweens.

Tbe best might be looks, size, versatility , simplicity, power , battery use, ... there are tons of variables.

The BEST ecig is the one that gets you vaping with ease so you can then sit back and research the various ecigs with a relaxed grin on your face and your smokes in the trash.
You'll be wanting.backups for your backups... at home mods... going out on the town ones.... and when money is no problem there will be no stopping you from finding and achieving nirvana.

I would start with one that is simple and one that you will enjoy using even after you're a vet at vaping. The smokelessimage Volt rocks (sealed automatic) and takes all pressure off.

Congrats on your decision to stop smoking!

My SB doesnt have a weird eraser sticking out the side.

I am just glad they are working for your brother !!! as some point he may be willing to try new things, Like you said, ignorance is bliss.

Well for me the best way is when theres a good sell or deal I jump on it and buy plenty of back ups

I would never spend that kind of money on that mod.. skip that sight all together! Get a Provari for that price! they are trying to sell you on 10.4v which no atty can withstand so they are selling you something that you can never use! I suggest you skip that device and go for something with quality provape.com

Joye Tech "Brand" eGo chargers won't work with KGO batteries. Hoosierecig states this with the KGO batteries. I've been using all my eGo type chargers with my KGO batteries without any problems. KGO's have a problem with eGo chargers made by Joye Tech for some reason. Why I don't know.
