Thanks everybody. Guess I'm being a little too OCD about mixing fluids. On the subject of equipment, does anyone have a recommendation for a good tackle box-like thing to keep all my pipettes, flavors, etc? It's a little unwieldy keeping them in a cardboard box!

Thanks! Just realized that was my 5th post. Guess I didn't have to wait that long.

I wanted to post this in the DIY section, but I found that I'm not allowed there yet! Guess I'll have to wait till I grow up . I've been starting out with DIY'ing using the little kit I got from onestopdiyshop.com, and I was wondering how you DIY pros keep all your measuring stuff clean. I've mostly been using 1ml and 5ml pipettes. Mixing juice requires at least four pipettes if I want to keep it all separate (PG, VG, nic, flavor) - more if I'm mixing several flavors. Do you just buy a whole lot of pipettes and only use them once? Label each one and have a different pipette for each flavor? Clean them out between uses? I've tried pumping distilled water through them, which seems to work OK, but I was wondering if anyone had a neater solution. Your tips most appreciated!

A lot of places (like sweet-vapes) will sell you 100% VG juice. http://sweet-vapes.com/category/100-vg/

Would be sad if this causes an end to the cottage industries that seems to have sprung up around e-cigs. Will be hard for those mom-and-pop operations run out of people's PO boxes to operate if they're subject to intense regulation.

Found this on Wikipedia regarding non-standard devices. It sounds like this would be a problem if the battery draws more than the USB maximum current (900 mA on newer devices), since my guess is that it doesn't really have the circuitry to ask the USB hub for the right amount of power. My grasp of electrical engineering concepts is a little shaky. I haven't looked at this stuff since high school, though it's been fun to review it as I try to get a grip on atomizer resistance and the like. Any way of figuring out what kind of current the 3.7v 650 mAh E-Go draws when it recharges via 5v USB? I assume it's some fraction of 650 mA, but not sure how to calculate it exactly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Non-standard_devices Some non-standard USB devices use the 5 V power supply without participating in a proper USB network which negotiates power draws with the host interface. These are usually referred to as USB decorations. The typical example is a USB-powered keyboard light; fans, mug coolers and heaters, battery chargers, miniature vacuum cleaners, and even miniature lava lamps are available. In most cases, these items contain no digital circuitry, and thus are not Standard compliant USB devices at all. This can theoretically cause problems with some computers, such as drawing too much current and hurting circuitry; prior to the Battery Charging Specification, the USB specification required that devices connect in a low-power mode (100 mA maximum) and communicate their current requirements to the host, which would then permit the device to switch into high-power mode. In addition to limiting the total average power used by the device, the USB specification limits the inrush current (i.e., that used to charge decoupling and filter capacitors) when the device is first connected. Otherwise, connecting a device could cause problems with the host's internal power. Also, USB devices are required to automatically enter ultra low-power suspend mode when the USB host is suspended. Nevertheless, many USB host interfaces do not cut off the power supply to USB devices when they are suspended since resuming from the suspended state would become a lot more complicated if they did.

Hi all, New here, just got my Joye E-Go the other day and loving it. Also went a little nuts with ordering DIY stuff, so I'm hoping to be mixing my own liquids in a few days. My E-Go has a mini-USB pass-through battery, and it came with a mini-USB cable that I've been plugging into my computer. I also have about a bajillion other mini-USB cables from external hard drives and the like, and I'm wondering if these are interchangeable. I also have a number of USB-to-power outlet adapters of the sort that came with my iPhone. I'm wondering if there's any danger in using accessories these in addition to the cable that came with the device. Everything I've read says that one should be very careful not to use the 510 charger with the E-Go...but my impression was that all USB cables were 5v, so there shouldn't be any difference in terms of the power supplied. Thanks to all on these forums. I did a lot of reading before buying, and the info here helped me save a lot of money in bad purchasing decisions. Cheers!
