What do you do when your favorite e-liquids provide you with plenty of vapor but virtually no taste at any wattage?
I have, from time to time, noticed that my juices go bland on me for a while, and then miraculously come back to life after a few hours, days, or weeks. It's not just one juice in particular, either. It seems that all of my traditional tobacco-flavored juices do it at once, and fruity flavors are the only thing I can taste, and then just barely.
At first, I thought all my e-liquids had gone bad on me because food and beverages still tasted fine. I left my juice container in a hot room and thought the heat had ruined their flavor or something. They later came back to life though, so I had to conclude that the culprit was my taste buds.
If anyone has a trick to revive dead taste buds, I'd love to know about it. I've already tried switching flavors, brushing my teeth and tongue, drinking plenty of H20, and eating something salty...all to no avail.

With most PVs being cheaply mass-produced in China, I would imagine that the fail rate is pretty high, but there could be quite a few reasons that your eGo stopped charging. It might be as simple as the center post being pressed down a little too far to make a solid connection with your charger. Since the center post on most devices isn't solidly connected to the device itself but is surrounded by a silicon insulating sleeve, it can usually be lifted back up with a small knife point, pick, or tweezers. Just make sure that your device is turned off so as not to short anything out while you're working on lifting the post back up.
In the event that lifting the post doesn't work, I would contact the vendor immediately and see if they'll replace it. I have had 100% success in replacing broken gear when it's relatively new...vendors don't want bad reviews for defective items.
a video I found on the technique. -
I think what would be neat is a hookah design where the central body contains a main power supply, and each "hose" provides power to an individual connection for a carto/tank/atty. You could use it for social vaping sessions but instead of cooling the vapor through water, each end would actually have an individual delivery device connection. You could even incorporate a variable voltage potentiometer on each mouthpiece to accommodate individual vaping preferences.
Just a thought.

Personally I would. I got the 2 pack from Vapage. One of them last only a week and a half BUT, my second one has lasted for almost a month now. Pretty steady use at 3.7v. As Kitsune said, you will get the ones that pop in a day but sometimes, you get the one that will last months.
I think I will get a couple more, but I'm going to try the 1.8 ohm version next time. I hate to judge on one popped atty, and maybe the 1.8 ohm version will be a little more forgiving than the 1.5 ohm, and they do provide really good taste. However, I can't really look at an $8 (+ shipping) atomizer as "disposable". I mean, I know it's going to die someday, but compared to Boge 2ohm and CCV 1.7 ohm Resurrector cartos for around a buck, I can't justify the expense. On another note, I have to say that the IkenVape 1.8 ohm io6 I got in the mail today kicks major butt in the taste department right out of the package. With the exception of airflow problems on some of my PVs, it just might be the best tasting delivery device I have ever tried.

I personally don't want cool vapor.
-
...the AMG Hybrid Uni by Vapage is a great atomizer. I look forward to seeing how long it lasts.
...and it looks like about 6 days. 3.4 volts (7.7 watts). It popped this afternoon. Should I even try another one? It did taste good while it lasted.

Still getting, "Cross site forgery request (CSFR) detected. Please note all such attempts are logged." I'm tethering through my Samsung Gem I-100.

Deciding on what to buy next. Will be using it/them with standard ego and a twist, both 650mah.

What have tried with them so far?

Congratulations! Wasn't that hard with the right equipment, was it?

An experienced vaper once explained to me that when figuring power (wattage) on dual-coil delivery devices, you have to divide your power in half because you're splitting the wattage across two coils, hence a cooler vapor but twice as much...sort of like vaping from two low power setups at once. A dual-coil setup utilizing 9 watts is like taping two 4.5 watt PVs together and vaping them at the same time. Here is a link to the explanation back when I thought I knew a thing or two. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/298257-my-head-spinning-help-me-youre-my-only-hope-5.html#post6148777

To the high-watt vapers: What kind of atty/carto/tank are you using and how many coils does it have...simply out of curiosity? (jeffb...I already know you're a Vision Clearo guy)
-
Anybody that vapes at less than 8 watts should be ashamed to call themselves a vaper.
OUCH!
-
Here's a handy little online calculator that does the math for you if you're the curious type. Just enter your device's voltage and your carto/atty/tank's resistance, click the "Calculate" button, and the wattage and amperage will be displayed. It might make things a little easier to figure out what products will perform the same as what you already have, especially when it's time to buy new gear that performs like your favorites. It's also handy when trying to figure out what to set your variable voltage devices at to match other PV's performance.

...The other positive for the T2 over the Vision V3 is that my non Sweet-Vapes juices don't seem to get sludgy in the T2. Sweet-Vapes juices just don't seem to sludge up at all, so that's a non-issue. But with other brand juices in the Vision V3 they will sludge up around .6mL out of a 1.6mL fill.
Yeah...I've noticed that happening with my Vision V2 and V3 Clearos. I wonder what causes that to happen?
-
Using the formula V² / R = P, where V is voltage, R is resistance, and P is power (in watts), what wattage do you prefer to vape at on your favorite juice delivery devices?
I know that for me, it depends on what I'm using as a delivery device. 8.88 watts is just right for my 1.8Ω Vision V2/V3 Clearomizers (4 volts), 7.7 watts seems to be the sweet spot for my 1.5Ω AMG Hybrid Uni atty by Vapage (3.4 volts), and my 2Ω Smok Tech 510 atty provides its best performance at 8 watts (again, 4 volts). My Boge 2Ω and CCV (Smok Tech) 1.7Ω Resurrector cartos both like 3.7 volts, but that puts them at 6.85 watts and 8 watts, respectively, which seems like a pretty big power difference.
I don't know why different juice delivery devices work best at different settings (maybe it's in my head
), but when I start messing around with voltage settings, I always tend to go back to those listed above because they work best for me.So how about you?

Same here, but when I unscrew and slide the tip up, what runs down is the same color and consistency as the e-juice I'm using, which leads me to believe that a small amount of e-liquid is, like you said, condensing in the coil area and mouthpiece. It's not enough to make it gurgle, but if unchecked, it will get sucked up and into my mouth...yuck. No big deal if you're mindful of it, though. This happens on every Vision V2/V3 Clearomizer I've used, but never happens using my Vision ViVi Nova, which is surprising because the design concept is so similar.I unscrew the tip on mine a little now and then and you can see some condensation run out of that area. -
wholy ****, i love it. i'm totally getting one
Better hurry...my friends from work saw mine and are buying them up fast. They are available at quite a few sites, though.
I have been using my new 1.5Ω AMG Hybrid Uni by Vapage (from Clouds Of Vapor) on mine for a 7.7 watt vape, and dressed it up with an eGo Nomad Cone from IkenVape. It's a real performer, and very pocket friendly.

For personal taste the 2 best I have ran across is the LR atty from Altsmoke and the AMG Universal from Vapage. I will say the Altsmoke LR are better if left bridged.
I have been hearing a lot of good things about the AMG Hybrid Uni by Vapage, so I ordered the 1.5Ω version from Clouds Of Vapor over the weekend. It got here today and I've been trying it out this afternoon. I haven't had much of a chance to rate it against my Smok Tech atty, but I will say that so far, I'm really liking it a lot. The vapor production is really good and I'm getting a good throat hit from it as well. It holds a lot of e-liquid, and the juices I've tried in it taste really good...maybe not better than the Smok Tech atty, but definitely not worse. It seems to produce a slightly hotter vapor, and that's after compensating the wattage on my eGo-C Twist to match the 6.8 watt setup that I'm using my 2Ω Smok Tech atty on. I'm going to keep on vaping both setups and see if I can come to some conclusions, but I have to say that for the money, the AMG Hybrid Uni by Vapage is a great atomizer. I look forward to seeing how long it lasts.

Free shipping to Canada?
Well, now...that is a good question. You might try emailing them, but their tagline does say, "Remember shipping is ALWAYS free!", and as far as I know, Canadia is part of "ALWAYS".

* UPDATE *
I got a reply from Isaac at Ikenvape this morning, and they've already shipped out a replacement io6...it should arrive by Wednesday. I really hope this thing lives up to the hype. Not that it's really expensive, but it's supposed to be such a great atty...I was a little miffed when it popped right away. I do have to say that he sounded as disappointed as I was about it's immediate failure. He was genuinely concerned and I could tell right away that he's somebody that cares about his products and customers. I will update this post when it arrives and I have a little time to try it out.

Crystal Clear Vaping now has them in black or stainless steel for $9.85 + free shipping here.

What I like with my eGo T2 passthrough and eGo C passthrough is the eGo 2.4 ml changeable coil clearomizer.Once the atomizer doesn't work like I want, I just replace that part only. I think most places sell packs of five atomizers for around $3.99?
Although I haven't tried one yet, I'm sure that the Kanger T2 / eGo 2.4ml CC (Changeable Coil) Clearomizer is on par with the Vision V3 Ego Clearomizer for value, quality, and performance, but I don't think you'll find a 5-pack of replacement atomizers for $3.99 ($.80 a piece). I found single eGo CC Replacement Coil's here for $2.49 each, which is about the same price as the Vision eGo V3 Clearomizer and Vision ViVi Nova replacement coils.

Thanks. Would these also work?

These are the same thing with the CCV logo on them, but at a substantially lower price...$7.80 + free shipping. I prefer buying the 3 Box Bundle Deal of the 510 Smok Tech 1.7 ohm XL (15 Resurrectors), because the XL is slightly longer and holds more e-liquid, you save a little buying multiple boxes, and Crystal Clear Vaping doesn't charge for shipping. You can also just buy 1 box of XLs (5 cartos), too They come in black, stainless steel, or clear, but the clear ones aren't very durable.

I've never bought a replacement atty and the performance seems fine to me. I keep waiting on the coil to pop before I replace it, but it just won't die. I'll probably buy a new one soon just to see if it can somehow get any better than it is now.
I did a when I first got it back on June 15th of this year, and I'm still using the original 1.8Ω atty. Granted, I don't use it on a regular basis because it's a little bulky and top-heavy for my eGo-style batteries, but I've run a lot of juice through it and can't tell any difference in performance. I do clean the atty with really hot (scalding, actually) running water and then soak it in PGA from time to time, though.
When I finally break down and buy a Provari, it'll most likely be my main delivery device.
