When I came home today I found a package from Vapelite. My order of 5 Boge 510LR 2Ω Atomizer from Vapelite - $3.50 had come in.
Rixter? Your rec is made of AWESOME!
Glad you like 'em...best price I've found anywhere on atties.
BTW, the Chocolate Frosted Donut from Sweet Vapes is great! Thanks a million!

Depends on what wattage you want to vape at.
Absolutely. Everything depends on wattage. V²/R = P, where V is your battery's voltage, R is your atty/carto/tank's resistance, and P is power (in watts). There's an online calculator at http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-ohm.htm to help you achieve your desired power level. Remember, "safe" is between 4 and 8.5 watts...the higher the power, the hotter the vapor.
-
When I try out different flavors, I usually just vape out one flavor and then just move on to the next without cleaning at all. Sometimes there might be some residual taste, but only for a few pulls.
Like blucavvy suggested, rinsing in really hot water should clean an atty up nicely unless the last flavor you vaped was something very strong, like VaporGod's Arctic Wolf, which, in my opinion, will absolutely RUIN an atty...permanently!
-
I find that as long as you're not "showing off" by trying to fog up a room, most people don't mind at all. Just hold your vapor in for a couple of seconds and you'll get your nic-fix while exhaling virtually no vapor at all.
-
I've noticed that my nic-juices darken (or redden) and "mellow" to some degree with steeping (aging), so there must be something to it.
-
I do. But for no logical reason I can think of.
Same here sometimes, but I figure the USPS shakes it up enough in transit.

My question is... what do I get?
I just posted a basic review of (and links to purchase) several reasonably-priced atties that I've tried over the past few weeks in search of "The Best One". You can find it
-
So far, I've tried several reasonably priced atties and listed my results below. Although the ohms ratings were different, I adjusted my voltage to provide the same wattage to each atty so I could be as objective as possible. I also tried several different juices to see if that made any difference, and with and without a variety of drip shields and drip tips.
1) IKV io6 LR Atomizer 1.8Ω from IkenVape - $8.49 - Great taste and performance, but little harsh at times.
2) IKV 901 LR Atomizer 1.5Ω from IkenVape - $8.49 - Just got it today so it needs to break in a little, but the great flavor and easy draw definitely suits my taste.
3) Vapage 510 Hybrid Atomizer 1.5Ω Universal from Clouds of Vapor - $8.99 - Good taste and draw, but popped after only 6 days of moderate usage.
4) Smok Tech 510 2Ω Atomizer from Sure Vapes - $6.49 - Got this one a couple of months ago, and it still tastes great despite some decline in airflow from major use.
5) Boge 510LR 2Ω Atomizer from Vapelite - $3.50 - At such a low price and with such good taste and performance, this one just might be my favorite.
All the atties that I tried provided comparable taste and performance, and I can't really call any out as being "The Best", but if I had to pick two, they would be the IKV 901 LR Atomizer 1.5Ω from IkenVape for the easy draw & capacity, and the Boge 510LR 2Ω Atomizer from Vapelite for the excellent price.
...and the search goes on...
-
That, my friend, is the $64,000 question. I've heard about dry-burning, soaking in Crest Pro Mouthwash, PGA or clear liquors, Coa-Cola, and many other methods, but I still haven't found anything that makes them perform like new again. Those methods may clean up residual taste issues, but I still can't figure out what will make the airflow improve on well-used atties.
I recently went on a quest to find an atomizer that provided great taste and longevity, and in my search, I came across a really great deal on a atty that meets all of my requirement...for $3.50. It's the Boge 510LR 2Ω Atomizer from Vapelite. As cheap as it is (about half of what comparable atties cost) and as long as it lasts (several weeks so far on my first one), you can't really go wrong with it. When the airflow bogs down and you can't restore it by a good soaking or dry-burning, then toss it and grab another.
By the way, Vapelite has the best prices by far on Dekang e-liquid that I've seen anywhere, and if you want something from Dekang that they don't have, they'll order it for you and let you know when it comes in. Most juices are $10 for 50 ml...try to beat 20¢ per ml. Dekang DK-TAB is one of my absolute favorites, and usually out of stock at most places, but not at Vapelite...they even have 0-nic for mixing down to your desired strength.

Not to thread-jack but I was curious if anyone has heard of the ego vision spinner? I'm pretty sure it isn't a Joye product but it appears to be very similar to the twist. Anyone have any experience with one?
Dammit, mse12! Now I gotta buy something else!
And I just bought a new Twist today! -
Ordered a blue eGo-C Twist, a matching blue cone (and a stainless one for my other Twist), a clear blue drip tip, and an eGo quick-charger from myvaporstore.com today. I also ordered some 1.7Ω Resurrectors in XL and standard sizes from CCV.

I wish I understood what the chart meant. So what would be best for an ego battery 650mah?
1. Find your battery's voltage on the top row.
2. Pick a number in the body of the chart between 4 and 8.5 (the higher the number, the hotter the vapor).
3. Find the resistance level in the column on the left side that lines up with steps 1 and 2.
4. Order an atty/carto/tank with that resistance.
5. Wait on the mailman.
6. Vape
7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 when it dies.
Some juices taste better at higher power (wattage), and some juices taste better at lower power. Some people like a hotter vapor than others. Since taste is in the mouth of the beholder, I'm afraid that a little trial and error will be necessary. I'd start with around 6.5 watts and adjust to your individual liking.
may help (or frustrate the **** out of you...not sure).

The only places that I've seen that sell flavored 36 mg juice specifically state that it's intended for dilution only...not for vaping full strength. For instance, if you have some low nic juice and it's just not enough nicotine for your liking, you can purchase the same flavor in a higher nic strength and mix up to your desired nic level.
I was a two-pack-a-day smoker for over 30 years, and 24 mg literally makes me high. I'm talking room-spinning, cold-sweat having, "I don't feel so good" high. I can only imagine what 36 mg would be like.
-
WOW! Gluttons for emotional upheaval...much?
How about "What Has Been The Most Uplifting Thing You've Personally Witnessed?" for a thread?
-
nic is what provides the th, period.
Have you tried Dekang DK-TAB 0 mg? You'd never know it's 0-nic by the TH. Granted, 18 and 24 mg has a marked TH increase, but the 80/20 PG/VG DK-TAB 0-nic provides me with plenty of TH.

its not your tongue that the problem, its your sinuses. when I can't taste my fave flavors, I usually get out the saline nasal spray, and inhale some good steam through my nose for about 30 minutes. cleans it right out and the flaves return
Yeah...I forgot to put that in my list of things I've tried. Since I work in a cabinet shop, I use a neti pot to flush my sinuses with warm saline as opposed to a nasal spray, so my sinuses stay pretty clear.
Does it make any sense when I say that I can smell the juice but not taste it? I know it sounds weird, but when I get vaper's tongue, I can still smell the juice in the bottles, but the "taste" is just not there. I know that the sense of smell adds complexity to the four basic tastes, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, but here lately, it seems that the only thing I can't taste is my e-juice.
I thought the problem was solved when my IkenVape's RY4 Gold PG arrived. It was as if someone turned the switch back on for a couple of days, and all of my juices immediately tasted good again, but it's gone now. It's really too bad because that just might have been the best tasting RY4 I have ever tried, but now it's bland, too.
Hmmm...wish it would come back...I miss it.

Since I made the switch on April 8th of this year, I've had a sore throat once for about 24 hours, but no respiratory problems or cold symptoms at all. I can't be completely sure that it's because of vaping, but I'd really like to think that at least one of my vices is actually good for me.

2 boxes Smok 1.7 lr cartos and 1bauway 510 lr atomizer.
If they're single coils, I'm pretty sure they're the same thing that CCV branded "The Resurrector", and if you've never tried one, you are about to have your world rocked! Hit 'em easy the first time because they truly are little fog machines...I've yet to find anything even close.
FYI - Keep them topped off and don't run them dry as they will definitely burn the filler material inside if you don't keep it saturated.
rixter if your'e looking for a good spot for LEO stuff check out http://www.ecigarsenal.com/Default.asp
awesome prices and fast shipping. avidvapor sells the best LEO-510 adapter i could find btw, it has a groove cut in the adapter with an o-ring press fit in so that you can still use the "sanitary cap" the LEO comes with.
Nice to see you have your finger on the vaping pulse.
I've bought all of my Boge Leo 800 mAh PVs from ecigarsenal.com and they are an excellent company to deal with. I've been very happy with both their products and their service, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a very reliable, solid, and inexpensive PV. I love mine.
I also have the Leo to 510 adapter from avidvaper.com you're referring to (in polished brass) and although it's a little pricey, it's definitely superior to others I've tried.
From EC blend (all 15 ml, 50/50 vg/pg, 6 mg nicotine, extra flavor unless otherwise noted):Eggnog
Irish Cream
chocolate malt
vanilla malt
5 ml. white peach ala Zoe
Don't know about the other flavors you ordered, but their Chocolate Malt is one of my absolute favorite juices.

This week I bought a stainless steel 650 mAh eGo-C Twist from myvaporstore.com to replace the 1000 mAh Twist I dropped to death last week. The 1000 mAh Twist was just too long, so I decided to go with the 650 mAh this time around. It's the same length as my Boge Leo 800 mAh batteries...perfect. It cost me $24.34 including shipping. Not only is it the best price I've been able to find anywhere on a Twist, they have them in Pink Pearl, Green, Blue, Black, Stainless, Red, and White.
I ordered some stuff from VapeLite as well. I got 100 ml of Dekang DK-TAB (50 ml 18 mg and 50 ml 0 mg to mix down nic strength with), a Boge 510 LR 2Ω atty, and a 510 to eGo adapter for one of my Leos. The entire order from VapeLite using the discount code "takeoff10" was $30 including shipping. I order a lot from them because their prices are unbelievably low and I've yet to be dissatisfied with their products.

And whatever you do, don't drop it! I dropped mine today while sitting on the couch and it fell about 18" to the carpeted floor...now it's dead.

Good tips, guys. I decided to change things up a little and ordered some Sweet Caroline from iVape and some of their limited run RY4, too. I ordered some of IkenVape's RY4 Gold PG as well because it's near the top of several Best RY4 lists I've come across lately (right below Forever Vapors' Dulcis...which is, sadly, out of stock). I'm still waiting on those to arrive, and I'll post some reviews once they do. (Can you tell I like RY4?)
On my last EC Blend order, I switched my usual Chocolate Malt and RY4 from 50/50 PG/VG to 80/20 PG/VG, and there's a huge difference in the flavor strength. I also used their Create Your Own E-Liquid Wizard to make Blueberry 7, a 7 Leaf Blend with 25% Blueberry in it, and with the same 80/20 PG/VG blend...also excellent. I guess that since PG is supposed to carry flavor more efficiently, I'm tasting those juices a lot better now. The thinner blends also load into cartos easier and seem to wick better in my atty tanks.
I think the switch to higher PG content might solve my "vaper's tongue" problem...at least temporarily.

Well as it turns out the 1.8 ohm atty head is working like a charm again? Guess it might have been gunked up a bit but I vaped thought it and it is producing once again
You know, when you think about it, the "making things happen" part is just a coil of wire...if it gunks up, the coating acts as an insulator and blocks the juice from some of the heat, as well as blocking some airflow. With continued use, one of two things will happen; the crud will burn off or disintegrate, or the coil will pop. As long as the coil still gets hot, you've still got a working atty tank. 4 volts (9 watts) with a 80/20 PG/VG usually disintegrates the crud nicely for me.
Correct Way To Steep?

Same here with the hot water. I run a glass of very hot water, drop in my juice bottle, shake it up occasionally while the water temperature drops to room temperature, and it's done. Tastes just like juices that I put up to "mellow".
Try it yourself...put some of your newly purchased juice in a small bottle and try the "hot water steeping" method...compare it to the juice you don't soak and you'll notice a difference.
