Thanks for sharing that with us. Accidents happen and I'm glad you're still alive. Is the cost that much cheaper when you get pure nic or 500mg/ml? Are there any other advantages? I only see disadvantages with that. I use 60mg/ml for my own diy and I have 100mg/ml that I will cut down before mixing. I might just cut all my nic down to 36 to be a little safer since I vape it at 18-24 and it's easier and more accurate when making small batches for myself. One other question, how long after the 7 days did it take you to recover and do you have any permanent injuries?

Sounds like the wall adapter crapped the bed. I have dozens of these types of ac/dc power suppliers/adapters from everything from cell phones to guitar pedals and I can't remember ever having one of these things fail. That's why I find it strange that the kgo ones seem to have these problems. Maybe they were too concerned about making a good ecig and over looked the charger. I don't know. If it were me I'd plug the usb from the kgo into a wall adapter from a cell phone or similar 5 volt wall adapter. The brains of the charging system are in the part that you say still works, I think. If it works in a computer's usb port it will work in a different adapter that puts out the same voltage. My ego charger calls for 5v 500mA in and it sends 4.2v 420mA to the battery. I can plug the usb cable into my computer, wall outlet usb hub or cell phone wall adapter.

Big tobacco can kiss my ***. If it came down to it all I have to do is figure out how to extract or obtain nicotine and I don't need help from anyone. I don't use much now but I still want some in my juice. Other than that I already have 100% working homade mods with homemade attys and juice that is that completely made from scratch. I've paid tax on cigarettes for years and if a tobacco co. thinks they're gonna get more money outta me they gotta nother thing commin'.... my middle finger.

I'll stay out of this contest to give everyone else a better chance. I already have a ProVari and I'd feel bad if I were the one to win. Thanks for the contest RG, keep them coming!!

banana cream sugar cookie is what I made and it's pretty good!

Oh, so I was paddling down the street in my cannoe when I saw a one legged man licking an ice cream cone and I thought to myself, I wonder how many pancakes it takes to shingle an elephant.

70/30 is a good pg/vg mix in my opinion. That's as high as I ever go with vg. More than that tends to shorten the life of the atty/carto and takes away from the flavor. Alcohol or water is sometimes used for high vg mixes but pg is so much better in my opinion. I make my own juice usually with about 20%vg and no added water or alcohol and I get really good vapor, TH and flavor.

Some cartos can't even handle the thick juice. If you have a bottle of that and your having problems, just use that juice for direct dripping. You could try to thin it out with a little pure grain alcohol, water or pg but unless you add more flavor and nicotine you will have a diluted version of what you have now.

A ultra-super-mini ProVari the size and shape of half smoked analog that can read my mind and deliver the flavor and the amount of vapor I'm thinking about at any time... and powered by cosmic radiation that is ready available so I don't have to charge it.

Until that comes out. I like my ProVari mini but I need to try other delivery methods. I'm open for suggestions....

A control board for my GE electric stove. But that only gets me half way there. Cheapest I can find online is $105.

Now that it's in my hand I'd have to say that for a VV mod this does qualify for a mini!

This one is a cover up/add on. It used to be just some music notes floating in nothingness.

I would think that pharmaceutical glycerin is better suited for vaping than food grade. The skin protectant I use is 99.5% glycrin and USP and food grade that I saw says may contain traces of nut or peanut. I've used both but generally not more than 20%. PG is a much better flavor carrier and makes for a better throught hit. I would go with all PG If I had to choose from one or the other.

There is no such thing as pure nicotine,or at least you should never try to obtain it. A couple of drops could drop anyone dead by just getting it on your skin. There are some suppliers that will sell 100mg per ml(vg or pg) but even this is to dangerous to work with IMO. Personally I use 60mg per ml but since I vape 18mg/ml I could get away with using 36mg/ml. No matter what you need to be carefull and keep out of reach of children and pets. 60mg/ml probably won't get a smoker or vaper sick if it got on you skin and you washed it off right away. 100mg/ml probably would and if anyone ever drank any amount of any dosage they could get really sick or worse.

100mg/ml=10% nicotine by weight and very dangerous. Imagine how dangerous 100%pure nicotine would be!

As for non-nic ingredients. Walmart or local bakery or pharmacy for VG, Local bakery, craft store, ecigexpress for flavors. Tractor Supply sells PG which I think is USP. I got a small bottle of PG from BluemistVaping but for a $19 you can get a gallon from Tractor Supply, so long as it's suitable. Does anyone know for sure? There's one right up the street from me and they have it in stock but I never checked into it.

I've been at it for over 2 years and I'm still learning. I used to think a kgo was just a typo and thanks to Viper Ron I now know what a drip shield looks like. Vaping is evolving very quickly and it's hard to keep up but there's always someone here to answer any questions.

I've tried Winston from Wordup. It's one of thier better tobacco flavors imo. Last I knew they have an option for all of thier juices to be PG, VG, or 50/50 mix. I always got 50/50 mix but if I were to make it myself I would make it 80%pg 20%vg. Some supliers will not disclose thier percentages and will only say that thier juice contains both or one or the other.

I've seen my brother and two other aquaintances buy the kGo mega 1100mAh starter kits for $43 plus shipping from sweet-vapes. That's a great price for 2 batteries alone and you get a charger, 2 attys, cones, etc. It works exactly like my 1000mAh Joytech batteries but I don't notice any extra anything because of it's slightly higher voltage. Don't know how much the bateries are alone but why not get the kit and have an extra charger, attys and so on.

My experience with 1000mAh Joytech batteries is I put a fresh one at 6am and I'd have to chain vape quite often to drain it by the evening but it usually lasts me til I am ready for bed. If the kGo 1100mAh batteries can do this, and I suspect they do, This would be a great way to get a bigger battery for smaller money.

I just might do this myself when my Joytech batteries are no longer usefull.(This may take another year or so)

I am a total moron. I don't understand this thread. Had bbq ribs today. Thursday was in the 80's, cold enough to snow tomorrow morning. Still can't wait for the mailman...

My experience with the eGo C still has no leaking issues even with the hard plastic tank caps and after many refills. I am using a silicone one now and am having some issues. When the tank is full I've been getting dry hits. Another thing is that the cap is much more difficult to put on. I know it's suggested not to fill the tank to the top but I always did with the hard cap and had no problems. I'm going back to the hard cap because it works fine for me and it's easier. Also I haven't had issues when the juice is low either. There were a couple of times that it leaked for whatever reason but for the most part it works for me like it's designed to from begining to end. There are enough parts in this e-cig to make diagnosing a problem difficult. That's why I wouldn't recomend it to anyone but at the same time I like it very much for myself. Mabey it's not the tank cap that's causing leaking problems for some vapers, mabey it's the way the heating coil sits in the base or something. I don't know because I haven't had these problems.

No offense taken and I'm sorry if it seems like I brought heat on you, that was not my intention. If there was no differnces in opinions we would have this forum. Like when you say that a voltage is outdated I totally disagree. 3.7 is the industry standard weather or not it is regulated, or varries slightly during use or the meter says 4 or 3.1 with a load or what ever. The electrovoperoligists say that kgo has a higher voltage output. The amperage is what really does the work and I don't know how they compare that way but by going up with voltage and amperage doesn't mean your going to get a better vape. There are more variables to punch in like what kind of atty/carto/dual coil that the battery is pushing.

I have tried 3 different large mah "3.7" batteries today to see if I could notice a difference. I'm not putting this in the review section because it was not an extensive comparison.

Joyetech eGo 1000mAh

SLB kgo 1100mAh

Mark's mod 14500 900mAh

I tried all back to back and back again with a Lr306 drip atty. No noticable difference
I tried kgo and eGo with ego c tank setup. No noticable difference
I tried kgo and eGo with kgo atty. No noticable difference
I tried kgo and eGo with elegance clearomiser No noticable difference

I liked the lr 306 the best. The elegance clearomiser in not lr but works good and even better at 5 volts(different mod)
The one way the kgo beats the eGo is the price but that's only if it can stand the test of time. My eGo already has.

I can understand some concerns because long term tests (10-20yrs) can't posiblly be done or even started yet. But I agree that our own personal findings and beliefs should out-weigh what others have no experience in(MYOB). I am another person who quit quitting until stumbling into vaping. I'm another 27 year smoker who could be dead right now from suicide because of Chantix, which BTW doesn't work. Another 2 year example of how vapor has had no ill effects and too many positives to list. To the FDA and/or whoever else that have concerns: Thanks for looking over my shoulder and keeping an eye out for potentionally hazardous things but until you walk 27 miles uphill in my shoes and 2 miles back down you're opinions mean very little to me.
