Just received my Ego 2 kit from V4L and some tanks. Loving it so far. Question though for anyone, how can I increase the throat hit for any juices? Im loving the taste of all my juices, just want a bigger TH. I have heard of adding everclear, but is there anyway else?
What nic level are you using? Ive found that upping the nic level adds TH. Right now Im using 24-36mg and sometimes the TH is TOO much, like when its been a couple hours between hits.
I like menthol in some things, but if I want a throat hit I'll use higher nic or increase my wattage. More nic or heat is really the best way to go for throat hit. I'm not familiar with the ego kit you have but if you want to increase your wattage you might want to try low resistance atomizers or cartomizers. That is only if your ego can handle LR. I know some can and some can't.
This is the 1 I have- EGOBTW, the 5ml Dual Coil Mega Cartomizer are pretty sweet.
I've never used the mega dual coils. I have heard very good things about them. Ive only used the standard 1.5 smoktechs. I usually use them around 4.5 volts in a dual coil tank. I get tons of vapor and killer throat hit. Since they use two 3 ohm coils I can turn it up to 6 volts and still get good flavor, but the heat is way too much for my throat to handle.
 
Absolutely loving my provari with clearomizers. Ridiculous clouds of vapor.

Used V4L batteries for quite awhile and got a little variable voltage boxmod from madvapes. None of them hold a candle to this thing. Even better, this thing won't die on me. Finally stocked up on juices and I think I've finally found the perfect battery atomizer/cartomizer and juices for me. Set forever. Went from unhealthy smoker to happy vapor here. All because of this thread. Thank you all.

wow. Through one emergency after another--it's now been almost two days without anything--either cigaret or ecig. Not what I intended quite yet but that sure speaks to the success of these systems. :cool:
Wow, congrats :thumbup: Reading through the thread, for awhile the ikenvape carts http://www.ikenvape..../808cartomizers were being pimped, but then saw some negative stuff.

I need to buy some juice, but also want to buy some

A) ikenvapes

B) Bloogs

for carts to work with the V4L batts, where should I buy?
I've never used them but I've heard that Smokeless Image makes an identical Bloog battery and cartomizer. They cost less and shipping is less.Smokeless Image

Ikenvape makes really great atomizers. I really love their new i06 atomizer. Its a re-designed 306 atomizer. Their cartomizers are good, but I wouldn't say they are great. Since I really only use 510 connection, I get the standard (3 ohm) Boge cartomizers for my 5 volt box mod. Boge makes probably the best cartomizer. They make an 808 cartomizer, but I've never used them for an 808.

You can get the boge 808's at Avid Vaper. I would probably go with those at 2.0 ohm. It really helps those small batteries get a good hot vapor. I've never used the V4L batteries at Low Resistance so you might want to make sure they can handle 2 ohm cartomizer.

OK, I'm in. Been following this thread on and off as it pops up and have been interested. Went with the Volt starter kit from smokelessimage.com (thanks Trogg), two batteries, charger, 15 carts (tobacco sample pack and a sweet sample pack like grape, etc.) for 53 bucks, free shipping. Looking forward to vaping and quitting analogs all together. You guys have been great in this thread, thanks!

I'm glad to hear that. I've actually been ordering the volt cartomizers for my old 808 batteries. They are really good and just as good as the bloog cartomizers. I even got a volt starter kit (1 battery, 2 cartomizer, charger) for free at a vape meet in Dayton last month. I gave it to friend at work who was interested in trying it out and they ended up getting PCC kit. They were really pleased. I think your going to like it. They didn't like the tobacco sample pack much, preferred the menthol sample pack of cartomizers.If you get some blank cartomizers, I can send you some Juice. I've been making a lot of Hawaiian Punch and Grape Juice. i even got some new flavors in including Mountain Dew, and Vanilla Swirl. PM me if you want to try some of my DIY.

 
Anyone try V4L's new Tanks? Not really a tank per se, its more of a carto surrounded by a clear enclosed juice chamber.

I bought the exact same type of thing for Volcano. I friggin love the things. After a few weeks they gunked up so I should have bought more of the cartridge that goes inside the tank. I'll be buying again.

Got my order today and.......AWESOME. It's only one day in but this Volt is definitely doing it for me. I have tried Grape and Ry4 and like both, can't wait to try Trogg's DIY flavors after I get some blank carts. So I'm sure it varies, but do two or three vapes equal one smoke, or just hit it occassionally whenever you want the buzz? I definitely felt more of a buzz on my first hit than I have with a real smoke in years, and no cravings for tobacco (again, I know it's early but :thumbup: ).

 
I read a study not long ago that said a regular cigarette delivers 1.5mg of nicotine per cigarette, while a 16mg juice delivers .15mg in an equivalent # of "drags." So, even if you use 36mg juice, 10-12 drags (arbitrarily choosing that as the # of drags in which you'd smoke an analog), you're still only getting about 30% of the nicotine delivered that you'd get from an analog, so I don't know that people fretting over their nicotine content is necessary. If this is accurate, you need worry less about how much nicotine is in your juice and more about simulating the smoking experience enough to keep you from actually putting match to tobacco.
Nice to know the numbers, and I pretty much went strong for the two extras I ordered (24mg). I went through enough of one of the included tanks today already to manage adding a couple drops of cappacino to it and noticed an immediate improvement all around. I'm beginning to think everybody around here is waiting to see how this works!

See Evilgrin's post from above. At the time I asked I was worried about hitting it too hard but without mods that seems unlikely. Just FYI--I never did go above 24 mg, and dropped down within a couple months to carry multiple strengths down to 0-nic. I found this to be easier than I ever imagined after 40 years of smoking, and haven't even done e-cigs for a few months now although I think I'll keep one around for awhile.
 
My Cheatsheet for Tube mods. (pricing includes batts/chargers

$215 Provari This seems to be the best and most expensive product on the market

http://www.provape.com/ProVari-Variable-Voltage-V2-p/provari.htm
I went with the Apollo. Gotta say I love it. been dripping and got some carts for it to refill. If you are looking for a way to up the punch or go VV. This is a very good way imo. and cheaper than my original V4L order.
 
Mad props to Trogg, who hooked me up with some of his juices to try last week. He sent Hawaiian Punch, Grape Punch, Green Apple, and Mt Dew. He made em to my specs of 70/30 PG/VG, and 24mg nicotine.

The Green Apple is awesome, its by far my favorite. Trogg, let me know when you get the supplies to make more of this, I definitely want a big batch of it. This is my All day, every day juice. Never gets old.

Hawaiian Punch and Grape Punch are both good. I think the grape is a bit smoother, but I like em both. Now Im thinking that a bit of menthol would be good in the Hawaiian Punch.

Mt Dew - this one has a strange aftertaste. My least favorite of the four, but thanks for sending it my way to try. That one will go in my extras box for when I run out of my regular juice or need a change of pace.

And now, back to power vaping the green apple :thumbup:

Thanks for the reviews. I'll order some more green apple today or tomorrow.
 
After some time with these juices, I gotta say, I REALLY like the Hawaiian and Grape punch as well as the Green Apple. All 3 are good for all day vapes, IMO...I believe juices have to steep for a bit before they get really good and come together, and I think that was the case here. I mean, I liekd them when I first tried them, but now they are smoother, and just seem to be better all around. Killer TH, great vapor, and the flavors have settled in nicely.

:thumbup:

I havent revisited the Mt Dew yet, but I will soon and see if that one has changed at all.

I spent pretty much the first year just vaping Bloog's Coffee and Camel flavors, thinking the fruit flavors would be too sweet. But I tried out some Cherry carts in my last batch and I have to say I'm liking them a lot.
 
Thanks guys :thumbup: Got my first e-cig yesterday. 1100mah eGo battery with a dual coil cartomizer. Haven't smoked or really wanted to smoke a Marlboro so far. Now that I know this is a viable replacement for cigs, time to start researching liquids and figure out the ones I like the best.
Just occurred to me that it's been a year since I started. My lungs feel infinitely better now. Thanks again guys.
 
these devices are super hamo
1. Hamo is slang for a Samoan, a person from Samoa or of Samoan descent. Samoan is a polynesian language, and other dialects of the polynesian language tree substitutes the Samoan 's' with the letter 'h'. Therefore Samoa becomes Hamoa, shortened further to Hamo.Are you a Hamo? Are there any Hamo's in the house?

2. The term used to describe a game of Hide and Seek that ends up turning into a make-out session. Hide and Make Out.

"Are we really going to play Hide and Seek, or is this just going to turn into HAMO?"

3. Hamo is a word made up when you cannot call some one a homo or a ###### due to parental over sight or censorship on games. A substitute for homo.

n00bs are hamos

he is a closet hamo

Which is it?

 
I just wish I had the knowledge before (almost a year and a half later) as I do now. Would have saved a lot of money and sometimes frustration.

So I've definitely hit my sweet spot and I have settled in to what works for me.

Basically I get everything from Volcano now. Just easier that way and I'm not going to fret if Bloog has a better this or V4L has a better that. What I've purchased from Volcano works just fine.

If I knew then what I know now I would have just started with this setup:

1. Inferno Super Battery (or something similar) Link

2. A few tube tanks with a bunch of refills Link

3. Only PG juice. I know people love VG but PG works just fine for me and makes the carts last much longer.

Was vaping one of these setups the entire 18 holes I golfed the other day and kept vaping into the night.

Thanks for the tip. I've seen far less V4L sales over the past couple months so I'm definitely more interested in alternatives. Stupid question, do the tube tanks fit right onto the Super battery and essentially hold pure juice (as opposed to drenching the V4L cartomizer filler material)? BTW- I've moved away from condom method other than the initial cartomizer fill. Seems like the cartomizer lasts longer and gets less gunky if you drip refill.

To answer your question about the tube tanks. It's actually the cartomizer that screws into the battery. It pushed through the bottom of the tube and out the other end. Never have any problems with leaking. There is filler inside the cart which keeps wicking up the juice from the tank via a small hole towards the bottom of the cartomizer. That's why I get PG liquid. Works better in this kind of setup.

Am I remembering right that PG is throat hit and VG is vapor? If so, I should definitely look into this tip. I couldn't care less if I get plumes of vapor as long as I feel a strong TH. For that matter it wouldn't surprise me if I could do 0 nic as long as I was getting good throat hit.

lol...I ditched the condom method after about a week. Dripping is the way to go. Takes 20 seconds to top off, then Im good for a couple hours. Then 20 seconds to top off, then Im good for a couple hours.

Yup. Ive had a couple 100% PG juices that were just too harsh on the throat. Like a burning harshness, not a nice clean throat punch. But Ive also had a couple 80/20 mixes that was like a mule kick to the throat (in a good way) and hardly any vapor. Id hit Troog up and see if he could mix you a sample of something like an 80/20 that you could try. Ive got some more juice on the way from him as we speak.

are any of you afraid of future health issues with using these?

There is no long term data on what these things are going to do to you.

I guess it can't be worse then regular smoking but who knows, i guess we'll find out in 20-30 years.

If you can figure a way to get good TH with 0 nic you'll be rich. I tried to find one that had any TH with no success. Finally I just started putting a little menthol crystal in the carto to resemble something like TH (and I didn't smoke menthols). It worked, but it wasn't the same as 18mg of nic.

No.
Ditto. I won't worry unless they find something entirely new to worry about. There's no smoke.
I'm in this camp too. I'm constantly ridiculed by a couple of my buds because "you're still getting nicotine." Maybe I'm pooh-poohing the risks associated with nicotine, but my goal all along was to avoid the 3000 or so carcinogens. I think I read somewhere that VG is a common ingredient in processed foods. Personally, I won't lose sleep over the unknown. I don't see how someone with that mentality can keep sanity looking at your typical processed food ingredient list, or breath air in a metropolitan area.

I remember you posting that you didn't condom fill a couple months back and was surprised. It seemed like a sure way to make sure the cartomizer was properly drenched. I've come to realize maybe that is not so important to drench that filler over and over again.

As we know the key to a carto lasting is to keep it wet (or not let it get too dry). Ive got to where I can taste when the cart needs juice pretty easily. Once the taste starts to taper off, I top it. Ive even got to where I cant pop the caps off without the use of a tool (V4L cartos), so topping off has become quick and easy. I do still miss on occasion and spill a drop here or there though. I dont know how many bottoms of shirts Ive stained with juice from my little cleanups. lol

Last chance to get it the running for the juice, otherwise it's Fantasy Girls.

Trogg, I'm just now getting into the grape juice. Ended up really liking all of the juices you sent.

I'm pretty much hooked on the butterscotch right now. I made myself 100ml the other day.I got the vape mail today. A few 4oz bottles and some of the original apple you liked. I'll mix it up tomorrow and should have it out on Tuesday.
 
I ran into the guy who runs a small shop here in Quincy MA. He only sells starter type ecigs and kits. I showed him my volcano batt with the tube tank and he asked me to come show it too him later so he could get a better look. He says he's never used it or seen it before. To me he's doing himself a disservice only limiting himself to the v4l type starter kit. He should have a "head shop" sort of store where vapers of all types could go and buy his stuff. I can't believe this guy is still in business. I can't believe that's all he knows is the starter type stuff.

That's all I've run into around these parts until just recently, when I encountered a lady selling a full range of eGo's from a shopping mall kiosk. She is well versed in many other systems too though not so much the mods. I understand there are two others selling eGo's in the Triangle area so that speaks well in general to these systems taking root in the retail world.

False alarm. I saw a package and thought it was my vape mail. Turned out to be my wife's yarn of the month club.

When I first read it I thought you wrote "yam of the month" club. I thought you were either his kidding or wtf?
 
Hit a party last night w/family, first I'd seen one friend in over a year. He picked up on these electronics after we talked, and is now down to 6mg and almost totally off cigs. :cool:

 
Had what hopefully will be my last cigarette ever on Sunday night. I originally had a New Year's resolution to slowly cut down and quit using e-cigarettes, but slowly realized that it was going to have to just be all or nothing, and had a targeted quit date of Memorial Day for the last couple months.

I'm doing the whole "staged quit" thing where I sub in the electronic cigarette (Bloogs, FYI) for the real ones, then cut down to the non-nicotine cartridges over a few months or so once I get past the craving for regular smokes. I'm using the medium nicotine cartridges which are 11mg.

Smoker for 15 years and so far, using the e-cig, this is the longest I've quit for. It's the first time I've really made a legitimate effort, but to be fair, the e-cig definitely is helping.

Still, I want a f'ing cigarette. Bad. Yesterday was pretty easy. This morning it's consuming me. The worst times have been my "triggers", such as post-meal and in the car. I don't even want to know how bad it's going to get next time I have a beer. I find myself pretty much constantly hitting the e-cig (which really doesn't bother me, as long as I don't smoke a real one). How long does this last? Any suggestions or words of wisdom here?

Hi LC,

Congrats on quitting! Not sure If it will get any easier for you. You might want to try using higher nicotine when you get that trigger. The Bloogs became unsatisfying to me after a couple months so I started using the more advanced mods, higher voltage and trying different flavors. It's taken me about a year and I think I'm finally set up to where I want to be. I still crave the ease and immediacy that cigs offer, but my variety of flavors, tanks, atomizers to choose from keep me off the smokes.

My suggestion would be to focus on quitting the cigarets, and use whatever ecig works for you to do that. If it takes higher nic like trogg posted then that's still worlds better than a cigaret. You've doubtless seen from this thread some who have found it easy to quit, some who have had to work towards that goal--and some who have no intentions of quitting the ecigs ever. It's all good, imo, as the nicotine may be addictive but it's the other crap that'll kill you. FTR--I was an easy quit. Amazing how that worked after 40 years smoking. Even so--in the beginning I was chain vaping, so if you want a cigaret don't hesitate to substitute an ecig. I had already quit smoking in the car--but with ecigs I got a pass-through with a car adaptor and that was a great benefit for me too, pretty much constant vaping. Also didn't jump from nic strength to the lighter ones all at once, instead I kept a stronger liquid for mornings/parties/tough times and lighter dose flavors for when it was easier. Play with the ecigs and liquids a little and enjoy them for what they are, and the more you appreciate them the less you'll miss the real smokes. I wouldn't even think about quitting the ecigs until you're not worried about having quit the regular cigarettes. Good luck.
