Any Vapers?

[Night Hawk]

Last year the same two along with CCV were on the Top 5 US vendors list for eliquids. I've ordered from both at times as well as gotten a few freebies. Besides Bloog at first and later CCV the 3rd place I ran into was the Mom and Pop Vapor Shop where they have literally page after page after page of flavors to pick over. But when ordering a few like Blueberry cheesecake I didn't have any better tanks! The first two DCT tanks leaked like sives plus not too many flavors vaped well on those CE2 clearomizers!

I also ran into some great flavors when ordering hardwares where often the vendor will toss in a small bottle or two with the order. T-Vapes where I got the deal on one of the Atlantis tanks is a shop out in LA tossed in some Florida Sunshine I still have to get to some time. Another was Root beer. Smoke Emotion tosses in a bag of gummy bears! PB Dragon tosses in lolipops of all things. The growing list of vendors here is often one time orders however when finding a good buy on some hardware(s) but never ending up going back. I simply add the good ones found into a more extensive list of some 40+ sites.

It looks like a great mod while I still went for the ICig V9 mod I put on credit of course and won't be paying until the next bill comes in about the time it should be in NEXT YEAR! :roflmao:
Using the discount code I paid an even $50 for it saving $2.63 which helps a little bit! ho ho The other mods I was looking over where the DOVPO DT-50 4000mAh Variable Wattage APV Box Mod as well as the SMOK XPRO M50 Box Mod I spotted when looking over what Smoktech has out for the latest and found the YT cilp there.

I like the idea of the 4000mah size but dread investing in things with sealed batteries for the larger mods! I had a SMOK Groove II with the improved battery compartment but 3800mah sealed battery which seemed a big plus for the 15w mod over the 11w 2600mah sealed battery in the iTaste MVP 2.0 but where is it now? DOAed on me back in June once I started using it nightly! Cheap Chip and cheap plastic casing as I found when pulling it apart to see if any connection was cold solder or not. Recycle Bin time for that one back then!

After just putting a 3rd tracking update by email request for the E-LVT 2.0 30w mod ordered on 12/6 and submitting a support ticket at Fasttech two things happened just before 1am! First the tracking was finally updated as the order was released from customs after a long wait likely due to the holiday volumes going through as well as FT getting back to me "Quickly" which was a pleasant surprise since most vendors can be a bit slow at times! I expect to that one in friday or saturday since the Smok BEC Pro 50w ended up staying at the NY sorting facility for a full day or so before departing the NY sorting facility due to the heavy volume of mail seen at this time of year.

Some are now somewhat concerned about the silica used for wicking on the Atlantis coils but the jury is out on that being any real concern. My luck so far as with anything Kanger on the other hand like their tanks and clearomizers like the lousey T3s and Evods as well as the Aerotanks Mini and Mega leave much to be desired! The Sub Ohm uses cotton which won't last like the Aspire coils have been so far not having the need still not to see any replaced or rewicked! I've been running just one on the ZNA 50 mod at 30w and change flavors on each refill over the last 3 weeks without any burnt taste!

Well it's all too easy to simply light up and kill yourself over time... :banghead: OR You put in a little effort to make things go much better in the long run! I would never advise anyone who has never smoked to pick up a new vaping habit since it would actually serve to defeat the purpose of changing over from a known health risk to starting a new cleaner healthier habit as far as smokers are concerned to bring in someone already nicotine, tar, cadium, carbon monoxide, 4,000 chemicals free into an unnecessary habit to begin with.

Im not sure what might be out there thats similar, but I made a awesome tasting juice I can't put down.

I used a 60PG 40VG blend for it, and for total flavoring I used 6% White Chocolate, 3% Graham Cracker (Dark), and 1% Sweetener. All from Flavor Apprentice.

It was good just an hour after mixing, but after a 48 hr steep got even better.

Not sure what to call it, but its very good. Been vaping it last 2 days.


So if you can find something like that give it a try. Pretty good. This one a bit light on the flavor too. Its there for sure, but not to overpowering which makes it a great all day vaper.


Got a couple Deadly Sin clones steeping now too. Gonna give it 2 more weeks before I try it. I had it pretty much spot on to the original (Not exactly but darn close to me), but decided to tinker with it a bit and make it a bit more my own mix.
I upped the Cinnamon Danish in it just slightly to see how that works out.
Got a second bottle that I added slightly more tobacco instead (RY4) Trying both altered versions to see which is better.

May try a third with butterscotch ... hmmmm. Lots of ideas.

Came up with a few new flavors this month that are very promising. excellent right after mixing, but we'll see how thay come along after some age.


No one else got into mixing your own from scratch yet?

 

[Night Hawk]

Well for the White chocolate/Graham cracker you might call that one a White chocolate cookie or something along those lines. Here not getting into any DIYing at all I do still end up mixing things at times!

I have what I call "JUNK JUICE" with a large bottle I drain a few drops out of a tank into when changing a flavor(no need with Atlantis or Nautilus it seems) or some unwanted flavor when either trying a new one or getting in a sample that suffers. Surprisingly when adding a little menthol into the mix it seems to vape ok but with a rather rare blend of things!

 

[Wishmaster]

Sometimes you can come up with amazing stuff that way.
may be flavors you would think would be disgusting together, but taste awesome. But a lot of the time they actually do taste as bad as they sound. Still potential to stumble onto something great, and it does happen.

Really weird how some flavors work in reagrds to Ejuice.

Sometimes, you may think you have a good idea for a vape and it doesn't turn out good at all. Like REALLY BAD...
such as a Dill Pickle vape. Don't try it. Uhh, still makes me cringe.

 

[Night Hawk]

It must be a real loser for sure! :roflmao:I've run into a few I thought were quite vulgar as well as thought some new flavor had too much flavoring in it to later learn it was the clearomizers in use that couldn't provide an adequate flavor or vapor output to worth the bother! Later when trying out those exact same flavors once getting into better gear a world of difference came about!

Now that was the type of problem I had been seeing when I received samples for new flavors as well as early on getting a few freebies tossed in with orders or having to choose a flavor at some places where they packed in a bottle along with a hardware order. You would think that stuff is the absolute worst "Immodium AD crud" you ever had until the upgrade came along! While I see many now simply looking to see how big of clouds they can make with each new one coming along I prefer to keep it real finding out what works best with what. That does on occasion involve a few drops of one in with another flavor to see how it comes out when simply not wanting to see the remains of a bottle for example going to waste.

Hope everybody had a fabulous holiday! Just got in the latest vape mail that was a bit "overdue" I would say as a result of all that holiday (vape)mail out there for sure! That would be the DovPo E-LVT 2.0 in Brown not Grey or light Blue as seen at most places that carry it. Here's a few snaps I took as well a matching that up size wise with the iStick and ZNA 50

Those three I uploaded at Fasttech following opening up a support ticket when it was a bit overdue without any USPS tracking update until right after the ticket was opened! How ironic?! In the exchange however since another order will be on the way soon I agreed to update the information. The last here shows how it looks when placed up next to the iStick and ZNA 50 mods showing the trend that is being seen when the E-LVT was one of the first high wattage mods to be coming out.

Well the first flavor that went into the Atlantis sitting on top just happened a custom blend I had requested with the Rum, Coconut, Tobacco, and Menthol added in to make an excellent smooth flavor. Also can leave the 18650 high drain battery in it and simply plug in the usb cord for charging it or see it charged in the Nitecore D4 to keep alternating the batteries which can help increase the life of rechargeables.

 

[Dude]

Looking good NightHawk. If memory serves me right, the DovPo is also a power bank. Should come in handy

 

[Night Hawk]

The E-LVT is just that as well as the MVP which now will be left lonely in one of the mod stands or likely packed away once I dremel the opening that fits into just a bit to allow the 30w mod to stay there! The ECig V9 of course will be replacing the iTaste VTR which still has a Nautilus 5ml sitting on top of that one.

The MVP as well as the next mod on order both have the usb out port for charging things as well as the Beyang 30w announced lately and only seen listed at certain Chinese based wholesale sites. But the old stuff except for ordering four more eGo-V V4 3-15w batteries(SMOK ACEs first to go lately next MVP) and the VTR for now will be tucked away. A pair of Kraigen Atlantis tanks are now on pre-order as well as a pair of stainless steel covered glass replacements for one pair of the four Atlantis tanks which will leave me with four glass replacements if ever needed as part of upgrading the tanks since I have already tended to two out of the five Nautilus 5ml and the pair of Nautilus Mini tanks.

All that will more or less complete the hardware upgrading for a time at least. I may still order a tank or two of the new Horizon Scion quad core tank coming out but likely a bit later since I won't be in any rush. Had a rather expensive shopping season this year between Black Friday upgrades as well as gift shopping which some kids happy being the two sons of a friend with each getting a touch screen tablets of their own that include detachable keyboards and the leather carrying cases those come in tapped the reserves while a good deal of the vaping gear ordered was on credit to make it all work out!

Looks great Doug. Should be sweet with an Atlantis or subtank.

 

[Dude]

Thanks Paul. It arrived in the mail today It is very nice. It is very well built, and the buttons on it has a good feel. I picked up an Efest 35a battery for it. I don't like the tiny screws for the battery cover I feel like I could strip them easy. I may just use the usb port to charge it. I have a battery charger but think the usb is convenient.

 

[Night Hawk]

On the DovPo E-LVT 2.0 30w I just got in there's a single hex head screw for the battery compartment plus spares in a plastic bag for some unknown? reason as well as the allen wrench and what would be used to remove the chip card being a tiny phillips head screwdriver suggesting that can be replaced or upgraded at a later date.

Rather then using a thin allen wrench I simply left the battery in as well and have it charging at the moment I've been using some Panasonic High Drain flat head type 3100mah 18650 batteries and while still having some Efest batteries find those to be too fat to fit into various mods however.

I think you will find soon that the Atlantis tank plus the Kraigen Atlantis 8ml replacement modified tank coming out on the 5th of January will work out better for you there. The Nautilus 5ml tanks as well as the Mini tanks seem to run best between 11-14w on average with menthol flavors kept at 11w or 12w while others like blends are run 13w-15w. With the Atlantis tanks I've been running those between 20w and 30w on average to find the "just right" spot depending on which flavor.

The Nautilus still looks great on top but just remember not to turn it way up too fast! When any flavor gets hot back down on the wattage a bit until you reach the best place where you get the smoothest vape. The word on the Hanz Modz has been good so you should be set for a time there.

Been in conversations with someone who takes a scope to various mods to see what the story is on each and gave that one a clean bill of health. The iStick 20w however gets slam dunked big time! The simplified terminology would be that using pulsed signals unlike the Innokin iTaste MVP's steady RMS/Mean type.

 

[Dude]

Thanks NightHawk. Yeah I am running the Nautilus at 11w now. Nice and cool vape. The purple efest fit right in although it was a little tight. I'm really happy with it, it feels great and seems to be very good quality. One definite plus is the battery life. I've been vaping it about 18hrs, minus sleep of course and it still shows 75% charged

 

[paulpicks21]

Very nice Doug. Looks great.

You will get through the battery a lot faster once you have one of the new tanks at say 30w.

I bet I will, and the juice too. I'm looking forward to it. I will go to a hardware store and pick up some screws I think. I do have a precision screwdriver so I may just be overreacting on that. I may mod it with some magnets too. Overall I am really happy with it.

Is it bad to use the usb port to charge, compared to using a charger?

Yeah you will fly through the juice Doug lol. I order by the 100ml's now.

It is a little fiddly removing the screws but what I do is just remove the top screw and loosen the bottom one and swivel it round to swap the battery over.
There is nothing wrong with just charging it via the USB but it takes ages to charge. Well the 2 batteries I have do. I have the Purple Efest like yourself and a Samsung 25R. They seem to take hours to charge so I just charge 1 while using the other and swap them over when 1 is getting low.
My IPV V2 came with 4 spare screws so it's not too bad if I wreck the odd one. But so far they are fine.

 

[Dude]

My mod didn't come with spare screws. I think I'm just overreacting, I didn't strip them when I put my battery in. I put my new battery in, it was already charged, so I don't know what the charge time is. My 350's charge in about 1.5-2hrs, so I'm guessing 3hrs for the 650's

 

[Night Hawk]

I use the usb port on an alarm clock I ran across in a Walmart some time back. It had two ac outlets with an on/off switch plus the usb port. The port is adequate and originally must have been intended for cell phones but works well for charging eGo batteries and mods. I already recharged the E-LVT since i was vaping with that since it came in friday and all day yesterday.

There will be either a green led or the lcd display will see something scrolling back and forth on that during the charging until completed. Plan on about 2 1/2-3hrs. for a full charge and then the mod will go dark. These mods have the mini charger in the circuitry to allow this as well as automatically turn the charging off once the battery is detected as full. That will save on the need to keep removing the cover.

The port on the alarm clock as well as the ac wall plugins like Belkin you find in the electrical dept. at a store like ACE or Walmart have a higher amperage then the pc ports. Generally those are found to be between 750mA and 1A on average being intended to handle the draw a cell phone, smart phone, IPony, digital camera, etc. will place on them. While with high drain batteries I would prefer to continue rotating them to allow each battery to sit for some time before used again I won't be using the DovPo constantly as the only mod or one of few since I leave each rest for a few days having the others to work with.

As for Efest that's not a bad brand but forget using them on any aluminum mod or mechs since the batteries are simply too large in diameter. The 18650s were originally designed for heavy duty flashlights to begin with and the need to limit the diameter in those just wasn't there years back. Here's a look at an 18650 led flashlight with a 2 for one offer at the moment. The short video clip shows how those are used for camping or for security guards, etc Voidhawkâ
