It's just as well... that place is the modders hangout, where they sell all the 1st run mods. Even the 2nd & 5th runs sometimes have their problems... which is why a lot of them are very limited runs... and the devoted experienced users test run them and provide good feedback to the modder.

Speaking of which, the IKARUS V2 will be out soon too. Even it had a few quirks that have been dealt with. Gotta love the modders who listen to their feedback and improve what/where they can!!
I wish Zen would drop his eGo and work out the quirks in his series grrrrr.

ROFL, you go Tams!

Jeffb is going to pif his batt to me. cuz i said so.

I AM a nonsmoker!!!

Let me know when you start stocking the Boge brand of atomizer? I'll be sure to pick some up when you do.

Okay, they really need to stop coming up with so many cool toys now!

This one as well as a couple of others I saw from today's Vapelite newsletter all seem to have the easy to replace outer wicks. It was a real trial for me not to click "add to cart" today.

I've never ordered juice from you Chris but are your liquids 100% pg? if they are i'd like to see you start carrying some mixed juices like a 70/30 pg/vg. That's my personal preferance for juice.

Vivia Nova, and mini novas, stardust clearo's (or whatever you want to call them) the one's with the replaceable atomizers, vision nano's, mt3's, vision spinners, dripping atty's and drip shields.

just some of my recommendations.

if you started carrying all of this i'd probly only ever order from you.

The answer to most of your questions is we are all different.Higher voltage or lower resitance heats the liquid hotter quicker so you get more warmer vapor.It usually does change the flavor ,some liquids change for the better some not so much.If you are just starting out I would suggest you stick to the basics.Get an Ego type battery ,there are lots of good deals on EGO tank types.The tanks don't work as good as other options but do work and you can ditch them when they go bad.You are mostly after batteries and charger.The you have to experiment with stuff like Boge refillable cartomisers,dripping with Ego,Joye 510 and 306 atomisers and Vivi Nova Clearomiser or Vision Clearomisers.Any of those should do a good job ,the tricky part is finding liquids you like and for that you just have to try a little from everybody until you find what you like.Hope that helps.Kind of overwhelming at first.

I have a black 400mah spinner and love it. I didn't bring my Provari with me to training in Va. but this thing has been a great device for me. Easy to pocket and if it breaks or i lose it it's only a $20 batt.

3.8v with a 2.4ohm (or so) vision nano is just about a perfect setup on the go.

Well I got 10 Nano's coming from AltSmoke.
I'll lat ya know how they do for me.
I got a lot of 6mL bottles of juice to sample.

Heck no, man, this is one of my favorites thanks to jeffb's ban hammer.
And Rixter compares apples to bazookas - you can't beat that!!

Wow talk about thread necrophilia

Blu, buddy, I hate to break it to you but Brian gets whistled at because he's prettier than you are.

And you're welcome on the rec for the nano. Glad it's working for you!

Yep, that should get me started.

Cinnamon flavors tend to crack plastic, which is why you were told not to use it in your EVOD. The citric acid in some of the citric fruit flavors might also be problematic (eg. lemonade, orange, etc.) but not always.

If I were you I'd get some bakery flavors to try in your EVOD. Those should work just fine. Vanilla cupcake, waffle, blueberry/strawberry or whatever flavor cheesecake... There are so many different flavors available.

From my personal experience (and your mileage may vary), I'd suggest getting a Kangor T2 or T3 or MT3 or a Vision Nano to go with an eGo style battery.

Read through the threads here on this forum and you'll learn a lot! Also, don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. There's always someone who will answer

I'm really enjoying my first go with a vision nano, thanks for the recommendation Tami! Brian, i think you just need to suck less hard cuz i have no whistling :wink:

Aaahhhh, see, Blu, that's where you hit the nail squarely on its head: You have to have a bit more patience. The P word is so not in my vocabulary.

I got mine from Altsmoke http://altsmoke.com/nano-clearomizer-510.html If you order 10 or more you can get them for $1.99 each but since you don't know if you'll like them or not I'd start with one or three. At $2.99 a piece, that's still not bad.

Thanks again Tameiki!!
Your questions back then were very relevant to me here.
So here's what you helped me find at empire:

Delrin 306 XL Drip Tip
Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.8ohm
eGo Drip Shield Cone

Hopefully these will save me some frustration in direct-drip land...
You officially have yer name in my book of awesome!!

The liquid inside the atomizer will leak out of the bottom ventilation holes, it's a very small amount unless you over drip. That's why you'll want to get a drip shield. You don't have to have one but if you don't, you'll have to wipe the bottom portion of the atomizer every now and then or the juice will start to accumulate and then eventually ooze down the battery, your fingers...

Not totally necessary but I like to rinse the drip shield in warm water periodically to rinse off the juice it caught and then allow it air dry.



That's my first foray into direct dripping. As you can see I ask a LOT of questions. The folks here were wonderfully patient with me. lol

This next link is about drip shields:

I think you'll find some helpful information in the comments.

Let me see.... Before attaching the atomizer to the battery take a paper towel or tissue and hold it very loosely to the end that will be screwed onto the battery. Then blow through the top to blow out anything there. Do this several times, you don't have to worry about being too gentle here. Another thing is to remember this move when you flood the thing by putting too much juice in that it gurgles and won't really give up any vapor. Blow it out and start with a couple of drips.

I'm a terrible dripper and used to consistently flood my atomizer for a good long while when I started.

The first time you need to drip in four to six drops of liquid. I like to let it sit for 10 - 15 seconds to absorb the first time. Then vape. You'll know when you've run out of juice when you get a really harsh throat hit that tastes like chemical or something that's definitely NOT your e-liquid.

Have you gotten a drip shield? I believe those make the direct dripping experience so much better. When I first started I had an eGo cone. Those were okay except for the tight draw due to no air holes. You can get the eGo drip shields at Empire Mods. There are only two styles that have eGo in the name of the drip shields. These will cover the threads of your battery. The other 510 compatibles will also work but the threads will be visible unless you get a separate thread cover or don't care about it.

Good luck!

Hey, I'd whistle at you, too!

Anyone who's ever ran out of juice, or battery life....or have had a head or carto inexplicably go t*ts up in the middle of a work day, or evening social event will tell you to always have backups!!! In fact, you should always keep around backups for your backups...

I figure I might as well give them a chance as well:

1-Kanger EVOD eGo Clearomizer - Black
2-Atomizer Head for Kanger EVOD - 1.8Ω/ohm
2-Atomizer Head for Kanger EVOD - 2.4Ω/ohm

And a grip extension for my new 'carry piece'... oh wait...wrong forum! My bad folks...

Yeah I'm looking into various cartos and tanks for them that would are recommended for various ratios of pg and vg. I've gotten quite a bit of feedback in regards to people's favorites with carto and tank combos. I'm thinking about starting a thread asking what people's favorite combinations are. And also, thank you so much for the EC blends website. I ordered two of their 5ml bottles that could be what I'm looking for last night when I got home. (I use tapa for browsing and posting forums from work) and I'm really excited about their selection of flavored along with the various strengths and ratio options.. Amazing site, I can't thank you enough.
