Vuse Solo? So Horrible!

I got some coupons in the mail today for a vuse and a cartridge pack for free so I figured I'd try it for fun. It was the worst experience ever.

The quality feels horrible. The connection between the cart and the battery is a flimsy feeling plastic connection. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work. Do you push? Do you twist? Kinda hard to tell, sometimes it didn't make a connection. Same problem with the charger provided. The charger actually split at the seam when I tried to fit the battery in it.

Luckily, I didn't have to charge it. Not cause the battery was dead though. The taste was absolutely horrible. I had 4 people try it, and 3 out of 4 gagged. It's not just the taste, it's the 4.8% nic that really hits you.

The commercials make this thing seem like a solution to the problem caused by the people who make it, but I think it's true intent is to scare people away from ecigs in general. If that was my first, it may have been my last. The markten at least looks good.

A New Sticky?

Something I have been battling with is the fact that I do not know what PV/VG liquids will work with what devices? I know this will be ever changing and that taste is subjective. I just think for new people getting into vaping a sticky of this will help everyone out. I know there are a lot of people here who are very experienced and can give the newer people a general guide to what liquid works with what device.

Something sort of like this:

50/50 mix will work with these tanks/clearomizers and these mods.
And so on.

I know that someone with little knowledge of vaping will look at a juice and they think it will taste great, but when put into a device it wont work or it will taste horrible. I know it would probably take some work, but that knowledge would be invaluable to new vapors.

Just a thought.  

The Possibility Of An Ego Type Battery Charger Mod

Just curious that if I could build a device that would allow me to connect an eGo or Vision Spinner 2 type battery to a charger like a Nitecore Intellicharger i4 that it would work safely and efficiently in place of the usual USB charger? I have an idea as to how to make the connection but I wanted to get some feedback on the idea before I actually proceed to build it. I admit that I am no expert when it comes to Li-ion batteries but my goal is to be able to charge the "stick" type batteries that I own in a faster and safer manner than the seemingly low tech USB chargers. Thanks for any input offered.  

Playing With My Vuse Solo

As I posted yesterday I received some Vuse coupons in the mail and bought one. Tried it and was unimpressed with the flavor so I wondered if you could add a better tasting juice to the cartridge. Yes you can... Take a razor blade and cut around the top of the carto to remove the black wrapper, be careful not to cut yourself. Take a small screwdriver and pop off the black plastic top. It wasn't easy and pretty much destroyed it. Now just drip some new juice around the inside of the carto. I had a bunch of other cartos with the white rubbery tops do I just used one of those for a new top. It fits nice and snug. Wala, you're done. It made the flavor a lot better. Tolerable enough to use for the last few hours. So now I could see using the Vuse on a regular basis. It just needed a juice hack.  

Ego-t Battery Not Screwing Into Charger

I ordered two of these batteries from FastTech. The cheap price and high capacity (without having a mod or some awkward huge battery) attracted me to them. Some two weeks later they show up...

I have two Puff King chargers that came with starter kits we bought at a B&M store. We've been using them with Tripl3 eGo batteries, one Puff King battery (and another Puff King battery, which was taken back and exchanged for another eGo-T battery, which broke), and so far no problems screwing any batteries in. These two from FT show up however and neither will screw into one Puff King charger, but they both did into the other (same charger, down to the model number and everything). Now, one battery from FT still screws in, but the other doesn't.

I took the non screwing in battery to a local B&M store and the guy there was able to screw it into one of their chargers. He handed it to me, and I unscrewed it, screwed it back in, unscrewed it again, and then neither of us could screw it in again. Now I have one battery from FT that will screw into one of my chargers, but not the other. The other battery will charge, but it has to just like sit in the charger and hope the connection stays okay for it to charge. I still have no problems screwing any of my other batteries into either charger, just these ones from FT. Also, it's worth mentioning that the FT batteries never seemed to screw in right... it always felt weird and finicky getting it to go in.

What's up with these batteries? They claim to be eGo/510 threaded, just like my other batteries. They look just like my other batteries too, except they won't screw in right...  

Battery Reading Fluctuates

Okay so I did look this up and it appears that other people have mentioned this specifically with sigelei mods but I didn't see any that were more recent. I look at my mod to see what my batteries charge looks like to see if I need to go ahead and change batteries and I swear to God the thing starts jumping around as though the batteries are charging themselves and then going back to the 40%. Apparently that's a problem that the mods have and isn't something to be concerned about but it freaked me the heck out. They're doing just fine now that they're in their external charger thingy but I just want to make sure that that's not a sign of something going wrong with the batteries that it's just my mod being weird I've checked the connections and everything to make sure it was clean and that the batteries were fine and not dented or unwrapped and everything looks good. I just need some assurance that the batteries were not like failing or that a regulated mod would shut itself off if batteries were jumping around like crazy in reality if that's even possible
For clarification it was doing this when I was not firing it  

Stay Clear Of Cheap Ego Chargers

Okay guys, first of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section, was unsure where to post this warning.. I just want to show you guys my experience with eGo chargers.. I'm unsure of where I got this one, I think it came with my Vision Spinner battery, I'm pretty sure the supplier just bundled it with a crappy cheapy one.. Here's what happened to mine:
Imgur

I noticed after a weird flashing occurred on the LED, the battery LED was constantly flashing, I noticed that the plastic had caved in and I thought I had stepped on it or something, but nope! The whole thing was melting and it smelt absolutely horrible, I opened it up and I noticed that one of the capacitors on the PCB had burnt out.. Be careful with chargers and NEVER leave batteries charging unattended, this could've caused a serious problem if it had caught fire.. Please be safe everyone!  

Please Help Before I Give Up Vaping

I need help asap. I am in tears as I just don't know what to do. I keep getting this awful taste from vaping, it's sort of in my nose as well, it's a chemical horrid acrid taste, I have changed oils, tried different company's. I have renewed the oil barrel (cleartomizer?) sorry not down with the lingo. I have tried about 4 new ones. I am at a loss. I know I may have vapour fatigue, as I can hardly taste any of my old flavours, however why am I tasting a horrible taste? I can understand not tasting anything, but can't understand why everything tastes horrible. I have been vaping for 9 weeks after smoking for 25 years, I was getting on great guns really enjoying it, now I am in tears as I just don't want to start smoking again, but I can't stand the taste I am getting. At the moment I am vaping a mint one as it's the only one that covers up the horrible taste. But not completely. I usually vape sweet stuff, like caramel, blueberry, Amaretto. Help please.  

Wanting New Hardware

I currently use Halo's Triton batteries and I like the batteries but I do not like the tanks. I have been having issues with them wicking and it's annoying. I use the batteries now with the regular cartomizers because the cartos always work and I don't have to fiddle with them. The problem is they are a regular carto and don't hold much juice so I'm always topping them off. I've always like the streamlined look of the triton and ego style batteries and the battery life is ok on them but I'm tired of having to fiddle with crap. I just want to pour in some juice and be able to vape for a while without worrying about anything.

I have noticed the Isticks and they actually look kinda cool but I'm still concerned about jumping into the box mod world. My other concern is what tank would you use on them that would be better than the Triton tanks, do they make some that are hassle free and you can just vape and maybe screw on a new coil every week or two. Another thing is it seems all the new tanks out there have metal mouthpieces and I HATE those, they feel horrible on my lips. I like the regular plastic kind that don't get cold or hot but are just normal feeling (if that makes sense).

If someone could please give some advise on a tank, there are so many new things out there and I'm lost. I have been vaping off and on for several years but have never found anything to keep me off cigs for more than 6 months at a time because of all the fidgiting thats involved. Also any thoughts about going from an ego style battery to a Istick.

Thanks for any and all help. This stuff is so confusing to me.  

Battery Connection

i have a Smowell dvp-50'and it seems to me the battery is not making a connection. If I hold the battery part down very hard it will come on but soon as I stop pushing down it will go back off. Anybody can help me?  

Charging An Ipv Mini

Can I use an external battery pack to charge an IPV Mini?

I have a 10,000mAh external battery to charge my cell phone (Note 4, with a 3500mAh battery), which has 2 options for charging: 1.5v=1A and 2.5v=2.1A.

Is it recommended? Is it safe? Are there any precautions I need to take if I use the battery pack?

I haven't gotten around to getting an extra 18650 battery (and charger) for the IPV Mini. I've finally realized that it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge the battery via the USB cable. But the one battery doesn't quite last me all day, depending on how heavy I'm using the Mini.

I usually carry a Volcano Inferno once the Mini dies, but the Volcano really sucks in comparison to the Mini. I'd love to be able to charge the Mini while I'm out and about.

I've added a pic of the external battery for specific information.


Thanks for all your help.
