its running 7v plus and its not regulated. the batteries in it are what i was told to get by the owners. ill talk to them about it when they contact me back. thanks

I bought a GLV2, Ultrafire 3.6 volt or 3 volt RCR123 Lithium Battery Charger and 4 AWRCR123 AW RCR123a Protected 750 mAh Battery's all less than a month(ish) old and i keep popping attys left and right. GLV sent me 5 standard resistance carto's with my order and popped all but 1 of them on the first button press. I bought 4 HR 3.5 ohm attys from puresmoker and popped 3 of them first button press, the last one lasted me a week. I popped all my backup standard res attys (10ish) within a week. AND i just popped a IKV 4.5 ohm first button press. I have been vaping for about 3 years now starting with a joye 3.7v kit with manual batteries. I have also owned a tornado kit from TW with little problems, (except the clearomizers which all cracked and leaked, even against the claims that they dont crack and leak). I wanted to move into HV vaping and the GLV2 came highly recommended. I am at a loss here and its getting to expensive to use the GLV2 with all the attys its popping. What am i doing wrong?

Hello all. I just received this email from TW today. New York, utah and now this? I wonder what the future holds for vaping? It seems like it will become illegal to vape and that really sucks. Read this email.... Totally Wicked in FDA Showdown Totally Wicked is going to court to demand the release of its electronic cigarettes , currently impounded in the United States. In addition, the Lancashire based company hopes to bar the FDA from exceeding its law making powers, which could threaten the company’s future in America. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a federal agency established to regulate the release of new foods and heath related products. It is Totally Wicked’s belief that they are attempting to regulate their electronic cigarettes and accessories as drugs, devices, or drug-device combination products under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act. In October 2010, acting on orders by the FDA, U.S Custom’s officers detained a shipment of electronic cigarettes and accessories being imported into the United States through Miami International Airport by Totally Wicked. They claimed the products appeared to be “misbranded” and “unapproved new drugs”. Totally Wicked refute the claims. The company does not, and has never, marketed or advertised its electronic cigarettes for any therapeutic purpose or as a smoking cessation aid. Instead, Totally Wicked markets, labels, and sells its electronic cigarette products and accessories solely to provide adult consumers with an alternative smoking experience that excludes many of the inconveniences and negative associations surrounding smoking traditional cigarettes. Totally Wicked is as an ongoing business. Electronic cigarettes are imported from overseas as at present there are no domestic suppliers. Therefore, 100% of the company’s revenues are obtained from the importation and distribution of electronic cigarettes and accessories and, unless there is a reversal of the FDA’s policy, Totally Wicked will remain unable to import any electronic cigarette products into the United States. This could put the company’s U.S future in jeopardy as current stocks of electronic cigarettes are already nearly exhausted, and Totally Wicked will be required to close its doors in the immediate future in the event that it is unable to obtain further shipments of electronic cigarettes. The case continues.Follow The Totally Wicked Blog and Mr_Wicked on Twitter for Updates as they happen.

i have a brand new tornado from tw. i think the batteries are 650 mah? i regularly vape using a passthrough. i get my juice from tasty vapors. they dont give enough vg to make us happy so i am getting rdy to mix my own juice. i am going to buy a silver bullet i think. i want a higher voltage system than the tornado. does anyone know of a great HV pv that i might be happy with? i was looking at the silver bullet at the same time as the tornado but my gf MADE me get the tornado cause it was cheaper. i have been vaping over a year and was ready for a higher voltage device. i constantly keep my attys wet and the dry burn was due to the attys getting weak and more so after washing them and the vape was weaker. i want to try the cisco attys. i am also curious about the tank system from tornado. dripping is nice but only at home. hard to do in a car hehe.

thanks for the replies all i will try the cisco attys after reading some reviews for it. also i am getting ready to start mixing my own juice. i have done some research on it but will still have a few questions.

we are having the same dang problems. ecigs are so unpredictable. some days ya just cant get them to preform at all. i am dripping into lr attys on my tornado using a passthrough. 2 lr attys and once is vaping ok but with a peppery harsh taste and the other will not produce vapor worth a crap. my gf has one too and cant get it to work for her at all. she eats through 2 batteries a day and is sneaking smokes now. my problems started after washing out my attys.

Hello all I have been vaping for over a year now. I started with a joye 510 and through the course of time the chargers stopped working and the batteries refuse to hold a charge for more than 20 hits. Didnt matter if i bought new attys or batteries. I noticed that all batteries and attys are not created equal even if i ordered the parts directly from cignot (where i originally got my first ecig). So about 2 months ago i decided to upgrade because the 510 wasnt doing it for me. I was still smoking and only using the ecig while at work. I wanted the silver bullet but chose the tornado from totally wicked instead. Out of the box it was great! Plenty of vape and the batteries lasted forever. Problem is that the attys from totally wicked do not last long at all. When vapor production got low i cleaned the attys with hot water and allowed them to dry. Then i got them hot to burn off the crusties or whatever and washed them again. Doing this with my old 510 kept my attys working fine forever but with the tornado...it doesnt. The attys have not worked right since. Low vapor production, very low. I then decided to try LR attys also from totally wicked. Wow!...And then a few days later...WTF? I ordered 2 attys. First one worked fine for about a week and then got weak and the second one leaks juice straight through to the battery but seemed to work great. At the 2 week mark i decided to clean them with 91% alcohol and they dont work very well now. The first lr atty seems to produce but has a constant peppery taste and the lr that leaks wont preform well at all. The leaky atty gets red hot in half a sec and the other one will wont get red hot for 5 secs or better...but produces vape better. I am at a loss. I think i read somewhere, maybe on their website that they are chinese made attys. I drip and the juice comes from tasty vapors, but im about to start mixing my own so i can get more VG in the mix cause im sick of 10% max from tasty vapors. The biggest question i have is, Where can i buy high quality premium 510 attys? Is there even such a thing? I googles it and nothing but random forum posts off topic and chinese websites.
