Patricia

That is so awesome. Many of us have done it. My wife and i did it together and we are so glad we did. Best thing ever. We can hardly believe we are at almost 3months now without a puff. No more ashtray kisses!

Hi all!
I just got into vaping when an old friend of mine actually bought me an ego-c for my 30th bday (which just passed on Friday). When I posted on Twitter that I wanted to quit smoking analogs (cold turkey) when I turned 30, he went online and purchased me a kit from ConstantVapor.com. I got my kit June 11th, and have been analog free since then. When my BF smokes analogs around me, the smell of it makes me want to gag. I honestly can't believe I used to smoke cigarettes for so long!
BF is actually thinking of getting a kit for himself, since I started, just so that we can vape together. To be honest, vaping has been the best decision for my health that I've made in a long time.

Made the step into the full on vari-controls.

The Joyetech eVic is my new couch-smoker. Most of my vaping is while watching TV or on the computer. Keeps me from snacking - interesting side-effect.

I had a different off-brand large rebuildable tank (3ml) but I kept sucking juice. It was like a straw. May have been a fluke with that tank, but it really made it unuseable. I even replaced all the o-rings and different atomizer.

Well, new brick and morter store here opened up a few miles away, so I went there to see what tanks they had and bam, walked out with a new Vivi Nova Pro tank. Haven't looked back.

I still travel with my Joyetech eGo batteries and smaller clearomizers just because the eVic is huge in comparison.

I went with the eVic because I am a geek. I love data and numbers and statistics. I play with the app as much as I vape now.

And, props for the http://www.vaportalk.com/marketplace/ . I ordered the eVic from there and it was only a 3-day turn-around from ordering until i had the eVic in my hands.

Will post photos when I get home.

You are the second person to say that. That was so much fun. I miss the contest!

Congrats to all the winners!!!!!
Nice contest Brian, you rock!!!!

Oh Brian, you do know how to get a girls attention

I'm not sure if I did this quoting thing right, never done it before but I just went to Brians site, Veteran Vapor, and looked at the Protank and that baby is going to look so good on my chrome Twister. I don't think a Twister is considered a Mod but it is still going to look SWEET.

OH no Brian, you would not do that to me would you? I am MUCH too shy to let yall see me doing my tipsy table dance. .

You'll do fine Patricia !!! I go for no fuss, no muss.

do you have a vivi nova or EVOD?

If you do, I treat it the same as I do my vivi nova and EVOD or Kanger T3....fill it, vape, refill as needed. when its not vaping right, I put on a replacement head, fill and vape.

I assume you will be using yours on an Ego type battery.....there is a sleeve that fits between the battery and tank to give it a more finished look.
http://www.theveteranvaper.com/ego-sleeves/ (Type C). Not sure if the contest included the sleeve or just the tank (I should know tomorrow when mine arrives)

no need for it to be complicated. the replacement heads are fairly cheap.

I just grabbed it with 1 hand and wiggled the tube gently and it came right apart. Same with reassembly just held 1 end and pressed the tube back in. never had issues with gurgling, leaks etc. I found it easier than vision ce4 etc as far as ease of use and performance. I'm sure you will like it. Just remember its very fragile if it drops it could shatter. Thats my only beef with the pro tank, love how it performs but it's extremely fragile. Use it at home on carpeted surfaces or in the couch.

Just buy new heads, cheap and easy, and if your not comfortable rewicking, can be messy. To clean them, I just rinse in hot water, and make sure they are dry before refilling. The tube is large on the KPT, so you can fit a qtip all the way up during filling, and ensures no overfill gets down the tube. On a twister you'll look like your eating a drumstick!

I hold the tank upside down of course when I fill it. I usually fill to at least the top of the glass section and no more than 1/8" from the opening of the vent tube.

I personally don't dry burn these coils until after a 24hr vodka soak. Then I use an eGo battery set at low voltage to fire it at something like 3 second bursts. Depending on how much crud there is I often use a tiny jewelers' screwdriver to gently scrape stuff away. Once you see no more smoke during the burn and the coil windings each glow brightly then it's as clean as it's going to get. Dry burning a coil after some use and cleaning is necessary for any kind of decent performance. It's either that or just keep buying new coils.

Do NOT dry burn any coil at high voltage. You can fry one really quickly that way.

Gurgling usually happens in tanks when some liquid gets into the center post. All you have to do is take the tank off the battery, hold a tissue loosely around the bottom (where the tank screws into the battery), blow into the mouth piece to clear the center post. Dab tissue into battery to collect the juice there, rescrew in the tank and you should be good to go.

From my experience with the Pro Tank dry burning is not necessary.

Topping off means to fill it up. In this instance he was saying keep it filled, which I don't find necessary with the Pro Tank. This guy might be over filling his tank, which is why he keeps getting gurgling. At least that's what it sounds like to me with your descriptions and not having seen the vid in question.

well in my experience so far:

1.) to top it off means just to keep it filled. dont let it get down past halfway. i dont think thats a necessity. I have used it all the way down to basically the bottom of the tank and had no issues with it gurgling.

2.) I did try to rewick the coil but there was no dice with that one bc apparently the cotton wicking i use is too aggressive to the tank and it cause the atty to flood. however the replacement coils are only 1.65 a piece at the veteran vaper so buying replacements are no issue.

3.) burn drying the tank is simply using heat to dry the tank out after you have washed it out. you can use a lighter or sometimes an atty without a wick. quite frankly... i havent done it... but i dont see why it would change the performance since its a pyrex tank.

4.) make sure when you unscrew it from your battery that you make sure you are grabbing the bottom ring since it does like to unscrew from the tank and leave that ring... which will cause a HUGE mess depending on how much liquid is in it. LOL

anyway patricia i dont think you will have too much trouble with the tank. Its pretty easy and just treat it as you would a clearomizer. Also after you fill it for the first time.... let it sit for a few minutes and wick up the stuff especially if your using a high VG liquid.

Well I can see right now that was not a PM but a reply to the forum. But its all good as I want to thank the regulars for giving out so much information. Helps me a lot to stay away from cigarettes and learn a new hobby /skill. Lil Not good with email texting though.

Yep. We need pictures. Otherwise, how will we know if you really danced on the table? Better yet, put up a vid.

Patricia, by now you must know that when a VIP member does something that other VIP members would really like to see, we ask for pictures. I might be stepping on Chris and Jeff's toes, and jumping the gun, but I am pretty sure that you are going to get requests for pics of you on top of the table dancing. Of course I could be totally wrong, because.......I know a lot, about very little, hahahah

Tesla in chrome...sweet...

Not bad on an evic also..

And if you like fried chicken..throw it on an ego!!

Awesome contest!! I think you should do one on a weekly basis. Maybe give away a bunch of EVICs next
