  1. Apparently, this is an unregulated box mod using four 18650 batteries in parallel. What brand of batteries are you using in this? What kind of build is your coil and what is the resistance? A few more details would help us to help you troubleshoot.
  2. We get silly around here, Edna, it's not really aimed at you but others before you who have had similar problems. After going through every trick we know, we've found out that the original poster got it from eBay or another place and the hardware was a knock off. Basically, we were laughing at ourselves. I'm glad you have a sense of humor that is just as twisted as ours. Taking it back to your B&M is a good idea. Even if there are no returns, they might be able to help you fix the issue or... they might make an exception and exchange your tank for you. Good luck! Just as aside -- Bebop never did come get his coffee after I made a whole pot just for him!
  3. Or better yet... Craig's List!
  4. I was starting to wonder if it's possibly a knock off and not genuine Kanger...
  5. Poor Bebop. Shall I make some coffee for you?
  6. After trying everything on the market to help me quit... and none of them worked, vaping was my saving grace. Haven't had (or wanted) a cigarette in over four years now after more than 38 years smoking. Best decision I ever made was to start vaping.
  7. Put the rubber band just above the 510 threads onto the base of the tank. I wouldn't use pliers or anything, just your fingers so the rubber band should give you better grip.
  8. To get a better grip on the two pieces use two rubber bands (I like the wide ones best), one on each part to help with the grip. Then, instead of trying to loosen it, turn as if to tighten to help break the seal and then try to loosen. That sometimes helps. Good luck!
  9. No, that's not normal. I would take it back to the store you bought it from and have them troubleshoot it for you. If you got it from an online vendor, send them an email to see if they can help you. Your tank should not be leaking like that and it could be dangerous to continue to use.
  10. You don't compare it with others, it's what works for you. Everyone has a different idea of what's "good", only you can say what it is for you.
  11. My friend who also lives in the same city as you just posted pictures of her back yard... underwater... but so far the water hasn't risen to the point of coming inside. She complains a lot about the lack of drainage when heavy rains hit.
  12. Wow! I'm glad your wife is safe and wasn't in the car, Jason. Depending on how badly damaged the bible is, you might be able to get it rebound. If it's hand sewn, it might get a bit expensive but can be done. How are you guys handling all the water otherwise?
  13. Welcome to Vapor Talk.
  14. We call it 'vapor' instead of 'smoke' because that's what it is. You get smoke when you're burning something but it's only vapor that we exhale. That aside, she gets less vapor because of several different things. One, the PG/VG ratio in a juice will make a difference. More VG, more vapor. More PG, less vapor. Another thing it could be is the unit itself, the resistance of the atomizer, how she draws in the vapor... it could be many things. Without more information, it's hard to say why she isn't blowing clouds.
  15. If what you got helps to keep you off analogs, then it's all good.
  16. Many of us love Fadora Vapor's flavors. Our own @Compenstine is the owner and he'll work with you until the cows come home to get you the right flavor that you want. His Birthday Cake flavor is amazing as is his Cinnamon Spice that has real bits of cinnamon if you want it that way. EC Blends is also a very good vendor that I've been a customer of for quite a few years now. They have every flavor imaginable including pizza and roast beef. LOL
  17. Go you!
  18. Yes, you can buy premade coils for the Triton 2 or you can build your own, but to build your own, you'll need to buy the rebuildable coil deck which is separate from the main tank. The tank comes with a replaceable glass tank (the plastic is what is on it when you get it), and two coils.
  19. Please to be 'splainin' to meeeee.
  20. Coil kits sold separately.
  21. Wow, Comp, that's some table you got there. I tried to delete it for you but couldn't.
  22. It's Memorial Day and a three day holiday for many. I think people might be sleeping in so they're not on the computer yet. By my time zone it's now 6:28 am (MDT). You time stamp shows your original post was at 3:30 am my time when I was still asleep. Give people time to wake up, have some coffee, and turn on their PCs before they start getting ready for their holiday preparations with family and friends. I'm sure others will be along shortly but I wouldn't expect a lot of responses today -- it'll probably be slow coming in. That said, do you have any specific questions you want to ask? "How vaping can help me out? Please guide.. " doesn't give us much to go on. While I'm not a medical professional or a scientist, I can't say how taking in nicotine in any form can be healthy for your baby. Vaping is probably less harmful than traditional cigarettes that carry more than 4000 carcinogens though. After trying nearly every smoking cessation aid on the market and by prescription, vaping has been the only method that got me off the analogs (cigarettes) and I'm over four years smoke-free.
  23. If you want "primitive" by today's vaping standards, get yourself a Vision Spinner battery (like the old eGo but with variable voltage) and a Kanger Pro Tank 3 mini. That's "old school" yet still works like a champ if you don't want anything fancy.
  24. There are so many different options out there that only you can say what will work best. Vaping is so subjective and has gotten more so since you last vaped. It all depends on what you like. Let me give you an example of my vaping preferences. I like no fuss, simplicity and ease of use. The Eleaf iStick 50W with no TC but a massive 4400 mAh internal battery is my go to. I love that I only have to charge it once every 4 - 5 days. For several years I was stuck on Cisco Hybrid HH.357 direct drip atomizers, but at $20 a pop, I began looking for a tank that gave me the superior flavor and performance. After trying many different tanks that all came up short, I stumbled across the Aspire Triton (the original version). It was what I was looking for... until the third refill when it no longer wanted to work despite whatever tricks I could conjure. Eventually the Triton 2 came out that fixed the problems of the original. I use a 1.8 ohm coil (kanthal build) for a cooler vape although there are many sub-ohm choices as well. For a very low price, you can also buy (separately), an RBA deck so you can build your own coil for this tank should you feel the need. For someone who vapes mouth to lung, the Triton 2 works very well for me. The back ups and back ups of the back ups and the back ups of those... I'm embarrassed to say how many different mods (both external batteries and internal), tanks, coil building materials, etc. that I've amassed these past four years but my favorites are the iStick 50W and Triton 2. For a change of pace I've recently added the Coolfire IV with TC but I find I don't care for the warm vapor that the TC coil puts out (the Triton also has Ni (nickel) coils for TC). So, that's what I would do. What are you looking for in a vape? Do you go for flavor or the flavor and cloud combined? Cool or warm vapor? Does it matter? You already said earlier you're a mouth to lung vaper so many of the sub-ohm tanks will probably not work well for you as those tend to go toward the direct lung style of vaping. Clear as mud yet?
  25. If it were me, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. I'd diversify with more less expensive options so I could get back ups instead of just one that could go out and leave me with no alternatives but that's just me. Proprietary batteries are fine if you have more money and can afford to buy more should that one go out. If you only have $125 to get up and running, you're going to need a mod, a couple extra batteries (if you're going with the external battery option), a quality charger, a tank or two, at least two 5-packs of coils unless you plan to build your own coils but that would be more money. Then, you're going to need some juice, at least two flavors to start. Oh, one more thing to buy if you're getting the external batteries. Make sure to get a plastic battery case to put your extra battery in. Have you seen those news stories where the battery blows up in someone's pants pocket? That's because they put a battery in there with no case and loose change and car keys... all things just waiting to short out your batteries and start a fire. Safety first.
