  1. I've seen them on the kanger website before but I only saw packs of 100 for $10.00 Edit: found these too 5 for $1.00 http://www.sun-vapers.com/buy/o-rings-for-rdas-and-protanks-5-pieces/ Hope that's what you're looking for.
  2. I pesonally didn't have any problems with my KP2 besides the airhole issues. I just seen a lot of postings (not just on this forum) about small issues that many people had with theirs. I only had one problem with mine and it was an airhole issue that is taken care of now. I like how the entire tank can be taken apart for cleaning, my KPmini broke the other day (apparantly they don't bounce just glad I had another one) and there was nothing to save since its just one solid piece but I kept the base (I have no idea what I'll do with it). I personally like Kangers but I haven't tried any other brand so I have no idea if I'm missing anything. I never had anything survive a vodka soak so Pluid must be a STRONG smell, maybe another Vodka soak before putting it back together. In other news I can't wait to see the final AeroTank in person. HnyBear you are so lucky, have you done work with Kanger before to make them choose you?
  3. Order arrived today (took forever I ordered them on the 4th but I'm not surprised it is the holidays), the coils come wrapped around a wick I'm estimating its the diameter of the standard wick used when buying new coils. The wick is much longer than it needs to be but that was a good thing, I just cut off the excess and used it as flavor wick. When I put it together and it read 2.8 ohms but I think I may have accidentally added a wrap when I was putting the coil together so its probably meant to be 2.5 but close enough. After letting the wick soak up some of the juice I've been vaping for the last few days I took my first hit and tasted machine oil or some other type of factory taste regardless it wasn't the fruit smoothy I've been vaping. I forgot to torch the wick and wire to remove the residue which messed up my first test. On my second attempt it read out at 2.6 and after doing my best to remove residue from the set up I have to say it tastes like a stock coil, not any worse or better but I only got to test two out of 50. And one of those tests were negated by my mess ups. Since I've ordered these I've gotten much better at building my own coils and the setup I use seems to be more flavorful than stock but I would say these are a good buy for someone who doesn't want to build their own coils but wants to try and save a few pennies. I'll keep this box and use them when i don't have the time to build a coil and if I get through a good amount of them I'll order another box. To sum it up they aren't worse than stock IMO but they also aren't better. They make it feel like a new coil out of the package but I still prefer my own personal rebuilds over these. I would buy them again if needed and they are being added to my box of extra equipment. EDIT: If you order these just remember to take a lighter to them or soak them in Vodka etc. to remove the impurities in the wick so you don't get a mouth full of factory oil vapor like I did.
  4. That sucks from what I read a lot of ppl didn't like the KP2 because of its many issues, maybe I just got lucky and recieved a problem free tank. Its to bad because a bad product can stop many people from trying any other products from a company. I would sell it or give it away and get something I could use, it would suck for that to be your backup tank it you had to use it for some reason. (But I'm sure you have plenty of tanks).
  5. Dual coil? Can it still be rebuilt and could I put normal KP coils in there if I wanted? I had the same problem with the KP2 on my lavatube but it fires fine on my Vamo and I love it. I think the LT was blocking the air holes on the 2. I've only had a kp2 and a kp mini, if its an upgrade to the kp2 I'll give it a shot since I'm already in the market for more tanks.
  6. I have always had good service with ecblendflavors.com. Sometimes they add in freebies (juices, friend tips, etc.) and they have 20% off until New Years. The code for their discount is on their homepage. I also ordered from a few of the other bigger online retailers and had no complaints, I just like the flavors and delivery time (less than a week to California).
  7. O I just remembered theres another vapor store that I used to frequent before I started ordering my juices online. They have good chargers and batteries so I might just go up there, bite the bullet and buy both today. I'll at least check out prices and see what they have to say about this battery I bought. If the brands they have are also generic or off brand I'll just skip them and order online.
  8. Okay I was in the market for a new charger anyway because I got tired of waiting for 1 battery to charge at a time. I'll look at a few of the chargers you suggested and see which one I like and auto shutoff is a must. lol I wouldn't be surprised but I was hoping to avoid that by buying from a local Vape shop. Maybe they got hustled as well, (they do have a big box of them). I could always just go there and return the battery (I hope) and if they don't accept the return or exchange then I'd know how they do business. I got the battery at a local vape shop that just opened a couple of weeks ago. The charger I do not know it was the one that came with my lava tube a few years ago. Yep I just looked at it again, there is no branding on the battery whatsoever and I'm not going to keep putting it on the charger until I know it won't blow up in my face.
  9. Hey everyone I searched around the forums and google but couldn't find an answer to my question. I just recently purchased a 18350 battery (blue with no writing on it) for my Vamo so I could start using it in shorty mode. Out of curiosity before I put it on the charger I used my voltmeter and it read 0.2. I put in in my charger (a generic one without a model on it that came with my lava tube V2) and it instantly turned green. I waited about 5 minutes and decided to take it off the charger because i didn't know why it was turning green instantly. After waiting a few minutes I metered it again and it read 0.5 so it was charging the battery but I didn't want to blow the battery up. I was wondering if there was a test I could do to see if the battery is bad so I could know if I need to take it back to the store before I bought a newer charger and had the same issue. I read that the smaller battery needs spaces to charge on some chargers but all of the ones I seen online were made for specific chargers and mine has no branding on it. My current charger only has its ratings on the back it says Input voltage: 4.2V DC 450mA/750mA/900mA. Since it is a generic charger and the batteries that came with it were Dishy brand 18650 I wouldn't mind buying a new charger that can charge more than 1 battery at a time. The only other suggestion someone gave me was buy another 18350 and stack them in the charger, that didn't seem like a good idea to me but I could be wrong. Any help is appreciated ~Drew~
  10. Same here. Every since I started using the technique mentioned earlier in this thread I've been building coils that I am very happy with. Now I just have to start buying more wire and wick online because the only store around me that has it locally sells the wire at $10 a ft. same price for the wick. Its much cheaper on eBay and even cheaper if I buy them both separately in higher quantities online. The kit I ordered from fasttech still hasn't arrived yet but it just made it to the states on friday and should be here within the next two days so after it arrives I will post about the quality of the coils.
  11. Cool my Vamo arrived today, after using my mini pro on it all day I decided to try my KPT 2 on it. I haven't noticed the center pin getting pushed down but I only tighten it until its snug. The KPT 2 worked great, none of the problems I had with it on my LT. On my LT I had to back the KPT 2 off so far it was super loose or it blocked the breather holes. With the Vamo I can tighten it until its snug and still get a good draw from it, now I can stop refilling the mini so often. I am also enjoying the variable wattage option and have been playing around with it all day. The LT is now in the drawer waiting to be called upon again...it's always fun to have a new toy. EDIT: the answer to the poll is everything's fine, no attachment needed.
  12. Bad aftertaste could be many things. Have u tried a new coil to rule out that possibility?
  13. Oops I must've missed that part, in my defense I watched it at 5am when I probably should've been sleeping. I'm glad more and more reputable vape stores have been opening near me...
  14. Wow... I almost bought some batteries off eBay yesterday but I'm glad I didn't. I'll just pay a little extra and get them locally. Did u order it yourself? If so can you name the seller so we all know to never buy from them?
