I dunno, but not only is it a 4000 mAH battery, but its a 4000 mAH IMR high drain. I'm still on the battery I got it with a week ago at vapefest, on its factory charge, reading 4.01 and 3.89 under load. So it not only lasts forever, but its consistent through that whole length of time. I don't have any other IMR over 1500 mAH. And even the non-IMR 18650s are only up to 2600 or so.

I got my Ato-Miser in earlier this week. While I am good at repairing computers, I'm really not electronically or mechanically inclined, as my plumbers and electrician bill will attest. After watching the video tutorials Drew has up I was able to make one in about 3 minutes, at a perfect 2.1 Ohms, using a 2.0 wire. No troubles with breaking wires at all. The wires I have are thicker at the ends for winding around the screw, with the resistance important part in the middle where you wind it around the wick. The top is large enough to drip quite a bit through. The taste is off until you use it for a bit -- at low voltage especially. If you burn it in a bit at high, the taste goes away faster. Drew indicates this in the video, that the coil needs to get blackened. They do seem to work better with VV PVs, as the resistance you get when making one is variable, its easier to adjust the power going to them. They are probably something I will add into my normal vaping rotation only infrequently. However, if the nasty bureaucrats try to take my vape away I am some common electrical wire away from not being dependent on atomizer suppliers. (Which is the one link we haven't been able to DIY easily before this.) Like a good geek, I am ready to vape through the Zombie Apocalypse.

Ms T's are STRONG and sweet, about the few my dead tastebuds can recognize.. Chocolate brownie and Bananas Foster are amazing.

Judge Leon roflstomped the FDA and told them they had no control over e-cigs.

Give DIY Flavorshack's Clove a try, I've converted clove smokers with it, it actually has that clove mouth numb effect. Only up to 30mg tho.

Thankfully trying to vape from the wrong end is not as annoying as lighting the filter end of the analog.

And DIY flavorshack Clove.. that'll numb your mouth for hours, after a mouthwash bath, water rinse, and overnight dry.

I know just what you mean, being a diabetic. My friends giggle at my obsession with sweet vapes. You have to try Chocolate Brownie and some of the other concoctions at Ms T's Bakery Essentials. Bananas Foster Coffee is spiffy, so are the fruit flavors. The Chocolate Brownie is like eating brownie batter before it goes in the oven. Dawn at DIY flavorshackalso has some great sweet flavors, although I find them not as strong flavor as Ms T's. But they are closed till the 18th. Worth the wait though, so save the link. Tiramisu, Thin Mint, Horchata, Eggnog, fruit flavors, Cheescakes, strawberry champagne, etc. Dawn also sells some great kits for making your own juices, I just got one and am going to try some of my own Also had some great tasting sweet stuff from JuicyVapor, mmm peanut butter cup. And MyFreedomSmokes.com. And last but not least, the Vapor Talk store has a few sweet selections, the Colada is nice and strong, sweet creamy and fruity. The Midnight is light and subtle but sweet. I haven't tried their cheesecake yet. I CAN have my cake and vape it too!

I loved mine for a week or two, then I killed it. Then I killed the fixed one. Then I killed the new one. *cries* I'm a VP-PT killer. *although kudos to Chris and Jeso for working with me to try to figure out what is killing it.

Welcome TheLostFayth, don't give up, you can find what works for you. I started with a 510, and most of the time that is what I use. However, I'm a geek, and I like fiddly with carts, juice and modifications. It isn't always as convenient to go out and about with, for that I often use a KR808D-1. Its a two piece unit with an atomizer built into every pre-filled or blank cartridge, which are meant to then be disposable. You can fill and refill them, its just more convenient for me when out or driving. I don't have to mess with carts, attys and getting the cart lined up with the atty right or dripping. Just screw the cartomizer on the battery and go. Their flavors aren't as good as some of the custom juice, but they aren't bad for the convenience. I like the flavors from vapor4life, they seem to have the most variety in cartomizers. Up to you, 510 is a great model and my usual vape on a VP1 or VP-PT, but for some people who don't like to fiddle, I recommend the other unit.

I had a pair of sneakers with see through soles, "air walk" marketing or something, they still made me take them off. And no, they aren't too bright. Thankfully I can now flash a badge at them and they realize my security clearance is far higher than theirs and usually leave me be.

I purchased an e-cig for my 70-something father for christmas, I ordered the KR808D-1 model (available from numerous vendors although I prefer Vapor4Life). This is a two piece with the atomizer and cartridge in one, they can be refilled, but they are meant to be disposable. This is what I used when I go out, just for ease, 510 at home. I figured it would be far less fiddly for him, and he'd be far more likely to actually use it.

I found spiffy little ziplock baggies at the craft store that are like 1" square. Fits a cart in on an angle, and doesn't have much air room left inside. We'll see how that works. And yeah, I'm using GrimmGreen's shredded PTB mod

That's okay at home, when I'm at work or driving, I don't want to look like I'm inhaling something illicit.

Yep, I mean a few days after I've filled them and they sit in the tackle box they have no flavor and little smell. Whereas when I just fill them they have both. Didn't know if was the being unsealed, or having them all in the same box. I'll try putting them all in a big ziplock. Maybe seperate baggies for overwhelming smells like Clove and Amaretto. Wish I knew a place to get all those little baggies, craft store maybe?

Sealed as in more than just putting the rubber cap back on? Can they be sealed all in the same zip lock baggie say, or do they need their own little one?

Oh Oh Me please, for an invite!! Been waiting on the beta sign up, but its never come. mergryphon@gmail.com

In an effort to cut down on my vaping maintenance, I've been refilling carts en-mass so i have 20 or so ready to go. That way I don't have to refill every day, and can grab a flavor I'm in the mood for with little fuss. I've noticed that ones I've not gotten around to for a week or so seem to have no flavor. Even ones that usually have a strong scent, like chocolate mint. Do they degrade smell and taste in open air? (as opposed to pre-filled ones that are sealed in plastic until opened.) Do they all need their own little zip lock baggie? Would keeping them in the fridge help? Or do I just need to stick to only keeping a few filled and refilling more often? Jen

\ Cool, I would prefer that to making a new account here and being limited to the n00b area again. The Facebook API must allow it, because I know other web sites that added the linking ability later.

Chris is there no way to connect an existing VaporTalk forum account to an existing facebook account? If there is, I'm being dense and can't find it. Jen

I'm not a DIYer, but I've been hunting for a great clove. Trying to convert my friends who smoke those. Finally got one that has that 'hit' you get with a clove, almost made my mouth numb. From Dawn at DIYflavorshack.

GrimmGreen's shredded PTB version is the best, its under his video's on YouTube.

2) I use a tackle-box to hold all the paraphernalia, and a case-logic diabetic travel case when I need to bring along more than I can fit in one of the standard two battery 2 cart cases. 4) I am extremely AR, so I use a brother label maker 1/4" or 3/8" cartridges to make thin labels with flavor and nic ## on it, they fit in a slim band around the battery end of carts and cartomizers.

Speaking of LEDs... I'm still waiting for a purple LED spade, so I can replace my purple LED VP1... (someday they'll get my hints and I'll be the first in line to order one.)

Are those double-strengths the kind meant to be vaped as is, or only to cut or be cut? I have some 24mg from MFS, most of it was pretty good, some of the flavors were too subtle for me. Been loving Ms.T's Bakery Essentials, but she only goes up to 30mg. Awesome rich tasting stuff though. So many people rave about Geoff and Tastyvapor, I expected more. And since he only sells 30ml bottles I now have 4 mostly full bottles of 36 and 48 that taste like vaping rubbing alcohol to me. I can taste the mint in the mint chocolate chip a bit, but I still get the chemical aftertaste. Its a little better dripped on a 306 atty than on the 510, but not much. Either way, I figure <5 analogs on any given day is way better than 30-40 a day, and I like vaping more otherwise. But I still need the anonymous, I'm addicted to surfing sites, ordering extra's, scoping out mods and trying a billion juices searching for that vaping nirvana. :P
