In his last PM he said, "Also I opened it up and my eliquid was actually hot I don't know if my coil was on or not but the eliquid wa pretty hot. I haven't seen one light on the ecig at all yet besides on the charger." I rather like my laptop so I don't use it to charge my e-cigs, it's too risky that something will go wrong. Since he's having issues with charging his eGo, that's even more reason to get an AC adapter and use that instead.

Here's his picture: I see that you're using the USB to your laptop. Do you have an AC adapter? I would not charge a battery on my computer overnight while I'm sleeping without some form of protection for the battery just in case something happens.

CE4s have been around for a number of years. Anyone who has been vaping for at least three to four years would have had one. Can you take a picture and post it here for us to see what battery you have? That might give us some more information with which to help you.

If you vape inside an airport, you can always go into a stall in the bathroom. Hold the vapor in for around ten seconds. When you exhale, there's usually very little to no vapor at all. Stealth vaping.

Did you try changing the coil? You don't mention what type of coil (the material your coil is made of) that you're using. A little more information might help us to help you.

I'm kind of confused here. What do you mean when you say, "tricks" with vapor?

Earthling, I just tried something on the Triton V2. When the coil started not working as well as it used to (and this is where I'd usually just change the coil for a new one), I took out the coil, dried the connection end off, took a Q-tip to the inside of the bottom part of the tank where the coil screwed in, and let it sit for a few minutes. That seemed to do the trick and I wound up getting nearly two weeks on that coil. Don't know if it was a success or just a really good coil but time will tell.

Aw, you're sweet to do the research to find something that will work for her. The cuboid does look interesting. I think you're going to need more batteries.

The first thing I would ask is, "what does she want?"

Get both and save yourself the conundrum of having to decide.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

My favorite tank to use with the iStick 50W is the Aspire Triton 2. I have seven of them, four in rotation. They also have a mini version but I like the bigger tanks (about the size of a regular Pro Tank 3) because I don't have to fill them as often. There are smaller box mods out there, I prefer having the longer battery life of the 4400 mAh size. If you figure how long your Spinner 2s last at 1600 mAh, think how much longer a 4400 mAh battery would last. Right now, on one of my iStick 50W, I have a Kanger Pro Tank 3 on it with a 1.8 ohm coil and it works just fine at 8.0W of power. These days I now prefer to use by wattage instead of volts that I was used to with the Spinners. I've also used Kanger Pro Tank 3 minis with the eGo adapter on it with no problems. I get the wraps from ebay. Although I never recommend buying hardware from eBay, I have no problem with wraps as they're just little things that wrap around the battery. Nearly all of my iStick 50W are black with different colored wraps on them. Mightyskinsdecals1 is the vendor I use. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=iStick+50W+wraps+skins&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H0.XiStick+50W+skins.TRS0&_nkw=iStick+50W+skins&_sacat=0 There's the link for the search. You can scroll through to find what you like. Just keep in mind that once you put the wrap on, you can't really just take it off and change it without stretching the wrap, they're only good for one time use. As for the battery, I've purchased nearly all of mine from MyVaporStore at $34.95 each. I've gotten great customer service and their price for the 50W is about the lowest I've found. The second from the right has the Kanger Pro Tank 3 on it.

I've long since moved on from the Spinners I once loved so much and now all I use are the Eleaf iStick 50W. They're a "box" battery but nicely rounded to fit into your hand easily and comfortably. The extra weight was easy to get used to. I love that it has an internal battery so I don't have to mess with external batteries and an extra charger. Best of all is that it's 4400 mAh. No matter how much I chain vape, I still only need to charge it once every 4 - 5 days. I've also gotten all kinds of different colors and designs of wraps so I can customize what it looks like. It's very easy to use. Add to that, for you, I would suggest getting an Aerotank 2. They can use the very same coils as the Pro Tank 3s. Aerotanks are good workhorses and perform very well.

Hi Patricia. Try putting the batteries into the freezer for about 10 minutes or so. Then, use something rubbery like a thick rubber band, put that over the top of the coil left inside the battery, use a small flat head screw driver to push against the piece left inside while trying to unscrew it. Once you get some movement, you don't have to push against it so hard and you can continue to unscrew the piece out. What you're trying to do is to break the screw loose at first. Are you screwing your tank on too tight? I've never had this happen before so I'm curious about the cause. Anyway, I hope it works for you!

Please do not double post. I deleted the duplicate. Our members are good about helping people out. Someone *cough @Compenstine cough* should be along soon-ish.

And another problem with studies like this is that they are typically run by people who have absolutely no real clue about vaping other than what they see at their local convenience stores or the cloud chuckers. One extreme or the other, which doesn't really do a good job of representing many of us who started vaping to stop smoking, and are now in it for the flavor and hobby.

I've tried using premade coils on my JAM and Stillare RDA. It was okay but I prefer to build my own coils. When you're ready to take the plunge, the first thing on your shopping list should be a good ohm meter. Don't trust that your mod will read the resistance of your coil accurately. Much safer to have a dedicated ohm meter instead.

I'm glad you found something that worked. I was running out of ideas, lol. Personally, I prefer a mod where I have more control over how much power I use. It makes life so much easier that way to be able to customize the power for each different flavor and coil resistance.

Sorry, long day and brain's fried so I only barely skimmed tonight. Still, from what I saw... I have one question: where do they find these people they used in the study? The data suggested regular use of electronic cigarettes is still very low, with just 5.5% of adults and 3.1% of 12- to 17-year-olds having used e-cigs in the past month. Azer added that daily e-cig users make up a very small percentage of these 30-day e-cig users. “In fact, among current adult e-cig users, more than 40% had only used an e-cig less than three times in the past 30 days,” she said. “We believe [this] points to the continued lack of consumer adoption of the products.” Seriously? Ugh. I'll read this article more carefully later after I've had a good night's sleep. I hope there's some better research than what I just quoted above.

What Bebop said. Also, what material are you using for wicks?

When you say you're "burning coils", what exactly is it doing? Are you getting a burnt taste? Or does the coil suddenly stop working? You said you're using 80/20 juice, that's 80 PG/20 VG? If so, and you're getting a burnt taste/harsh vape, that could be the problem. You need a higher VG juice. If you have 80 VG/20 PG, then maybe the juice is too thick and your wick can't soak it up fast enough and you're getting a dry hit? If it's 80VG, try adding a drop or three of distilled (or at the very least some filtered water) into your tank to thin the juice out a bit. If you have PG, that would be better to add but water also works in a pinch. Might give that a try. In rare instances you just get a batch of bad coils...

If you're not using TC, then I would suggest putting in a new coil after priming it first and letting it sit in the tank filled with juice for at least ten minutes or longer so the wick is thoroughly saturated. Start your power on a low setting like maybe 8 watts. Vape. If that's not doing it for you and giving you the vapor and flavor like you want, turn it up a little. Vape. Repeat until you get a slight burnt taste and then turn it down just a bit. That should be the sweet spot for that juice and coil combination. It shouldn't be burning up coils -- also, make sure you have enough air flow going through your tank. Give that a try then let us know if it works for you.

I was just curious because I know you two are running more power than my measly 9.7 watts on 1.8 ohm coils. However, even chain vaping I only have to charge once every 3 - 4 days. lol

What are you two running that eats through batteries so quickly?

How many watts are you currently using that you're burning coils? What PG/VG ratio of juice are you using?
