Bad Luck With Egrip

I don't know if anyone has issues with their protank 2 but I hear a lot more negative than positive on them. I was messing with one of those bootleg ones and I couldn't figure out why it kept on leaking. Now just yesterday a friend gave me his protank 2 and Im guessing it was because he was tired of it leaking. When I first took it apart I took all the pieces off and connected them all again one by one making sure it was air tight as I added each piece. Everything was air tight until I got to the coil. I was taking a drag off it and it immediately started leaking and I was like why the heck does it do that? I noticed that it was leaking from between the coil and atomizer where the two little airholes are. What I did to fix this was take an old coil and gently pull off the little silicone ring (above where it says the ohms and below the wick) then I dropped it into where the coil meets the atomizer. After I just screwed in my coil and it works perfectly. No leaking whats so ever! Very good cloud production so far I recommend trying this if you have one. Sorry if someone already wrote this but I did a lot of looking around and never found an answer. Also didnt know where to post this so I apologize if this is the wrong section.  

I've got a VTR that i was using with an aero tank, but was burning through coils like every 4 days. Local vape shop recommended the nautilus mini since that's what the owner uses with the same juice I use. Doesnt quite fit with the VTR ring, but they showed me how to screw the base in and just pop it in that way. Cool, no problem right? Yeah right.

I go to refill and i cant get this ....ing thing off at all. The 510 connection is not stuck in to the device, but the bottom ring to unscrew the glass part is just not budging at all. So now I basically have a inert device and tank that cannot even be used and I'm out 52 bucks in total for this damn tank and coils.

 

Problem

You've screwed your new atomizer into your mod. It's all the way in and works, but the atomizer wobbles.

Why? - Because the positive 510 connector is too long, meaning that only the front part of the negative threading is engaged.

Solution

A shim.

shim
/ʃɪm/
noun
a washer or thin strip of material used to align parts, make them fit, or reduce wear.

Cut a disk the same size as the base of the atomizer, put a hole in it's center slightly larger than the 510 on your atomizer. Slip this over the atomizer 510 and screw it into the mod, wobble gone.
The thickness of the shim will need to match your application. If it's too thick the 510 may not reach the positive pin and no juice will flow.
I initially used a credit card which was too thick (1mm), the positive pin didn't connect. I then used a playing card (0.5mm) and this was spot on.

Why? - The base of the atomizer is now supported, so the free play on the pin does not matter.

This is bad, and what's worse is I know it's bad but I can't seem to stop. I keep buying mods and tanks and juice and accessories. I've been vaping for almost a year now and for the most part I was happy with my setup (once i got past the cheap ego battery setup I had). I was rockin an MVP 2.0 and a nautilus tank. Loved every second of it. But recently the MVP threads got messed up so no tank would connect to it. So I decided to upgrade my setup and get a Sigelei 150w. Now THIS thing is amazing.

You would think since I was happy with my setup that would be enough. NOPE! I ordered an RDA (Mad Hatter) to go with the sigelei because the nautilus just wasn't fully utilizing the mod. I ordered wire, wick, ohm meter, the whole kit and kaboodle. But I also ordered an MVP 3.0 Pro for the times the sigelei batteries were dead or I just needed a smaller device. Got the MVP in today and it's amazing. I definitely love Innokin products.

That's it though, right? NOPE! I haven't even recieved my RDA yet and I was browsing the interwebs looking at forums and reviews and came across the Kanger Subtank Mini. Looks awesome. So I ordered it. But not by itself, oh no no no, I saw a kit with a Kanger Subox Mini and Subtank Mini starter kit. So I ordered it. Oh god will the impulse buying ever stop!?

Let's not get into my juice collection. I have more bottles than I know what to do with. Originally it was a handful of bottles that could sit on my desk, now I've had to rearrange my dresser so the multitude of bottles can sit up there. I have so many flavors that I love that I keep switching them around and it's driving me crazy. And everytime I see one of you post about your new favorite all day vape flavor I look into it, think it sounds amazing, and end up buying more.

Aww screw it, I love vaping. I'm sure i'll buy something else real soon. Speaking of which...I could use a new drip tip to go with my new tanks. Gotta go.

(thanks for reading my rant)  

Hello!

So I started vaping 5 or 6 years ago. Started with on of those ego pens and some kinda weird atomizer I don't even see around anymore and gave up on it within a month.

About 2 months ago I started again when my buddy gave me his old vv pen(not sure of brand) and his Nautilus (sp?) tank. I liked the flavor much more but it still wasn't cutting it. So I went to my local b&m and ended up with an egrip. Now, that sucker is what got it all started for me.
Within a week, I got the rba and started reading tutorials and safety tips for days upon days. Built my first coil on it and fell in love with rebuilding.

Anyways, I'm getting off subject lol. So I went with the egrip and upgraded to an istick 50 watt with a freak show RDA. Was buildimg on that thing daily, not for bad reasons besides addiction to building lol.
I used that for a while. Then i thought I wanted more power so I then upgraded to a sigelei 150. Using a lemo and magma exclusively. My favorite RTA and RDA.

Last week I was shopping around online and found a rogue RDA for 5 bucks and a kbox for like 12-15 bucks. Went ahead and ordered 3 of each because I figured if I didn't like em I could sale or give them to friends.

Well it turns out that this new 20 dollar set up is now my absolute favorite and don't see myself needing any of the other equipment anymore. Cept the lemo for drives and what not.

I just wish I would have realized this earlier.
Got a picture of it for you, next to can for size reference.
Not sure why the pic is sideways like that but tilting your head makes it look normal ha.  

Hi all,
I have used this pipe for a long time: 5pc 1.8ml Vision V.Tox BBC Bottom Coil Changeable Tank Cartomizer
it is leaking from time to time and taste burned after about a week use.

I use this juice: 30ml Dekang E-Liquid E-Juice VG Based with 21 flavor, DeKang eLiquids
DK-4.
Can anybody recommend a new ecig for me that is not leaking, not too expensive, and just work well? I did not follow the ecig evolution this last years


If anybody have any opinions about that ejuice i use please share. (Quality?/bad for health?)



Thanks  

Is there a logical reason why a mod would just randomly shut off very frequently when using one brand of battery and do it much less often with another? And this isn't a situation where I'm only referring to a single battery this is any battery of one type doesn't work well and any battery of the other type that I've tried does. * this is a long post if you don't want to read the whole thing you could just answer that question and that would provide me with a lot of information

My snowwolf mini mod which is the sigelei product not the original snowwolf is having a fairly common issue where occasionally the whole device just turns off. Then you have to loosen the battery cap pull the battery out so it's not making a connection and then put the battery back in and it turns back on. I've seen this reported multiple times. Now when I was using Samsung batteries it was really bad like I would get maybe two Puffs before it would shut off. But with LG batteries it seems like I can use the product almost like normal. Like I can get a good half day usage out of it before it has a problem and then I take the battery out put it back in and I get another few hours.

I know that there is a slight variance in size between these batteries or at least it seems like there is because my drip box gets the Samsungs stuck in it but not the LG which I solve by taking the stupid sticker off of them not the wrap the sticker.

Now I've only had this for 31 days so while it is past the stores warranty it's not past sigelei or snowwolf. I'm debating on whether or not I even want to worry about this warranty situation because if it continues working the way it is as long as I use LG batteries I would rather not take the chance of getting a much worse product. I feel like it's going to be hard to get them to warranty it and at the very least I have a month or two to figure this out.
My question is why would it do this why would it work so much better with one kind of battery and be nearly unusable with the other and also like why would it do this in the first place at all why would it just randomly shut off the batteries are good it's definitely the mod my first thought would be that there's a short but why would one battery cause a short and not the other or at least not as frequently?

I've had such bad luck with sigelei products that I honestly believe if I try to warranty this they're just going to send me a broken device LOL how does that work if they send me a broken device can I warranty that product? Do I get another 90 days? Or do I get the rest of my warranty period carried over from the first device? Or is it a situation where you only get one warranty and then if a device breaks again you're out of luck  

I have tried three different brands and types of vaping devices (the first one was Smok, the second one I can't remember the name, and the third was a Voopoo nano drag) so far that have all ended up leaking when not sitting upright, even when I'm positive everything was put together and working correctly. I'm looking for a recommendation of something small that I can just toss in my pocket or purse when on-the-go without having to worry about leakage, and was hoping you guys would know of some that would suit this?

I'm just looking for something small and simple as I'm not really into doing mods or messing with settings or anything like that, and would need something I can fill myself as I have a few big bottles of juice that I haven't been able to use due to this recurring problem.  

I've ordered lots of mods from a number of different countries. China, Indonesia, Russia, Australia, the UK, Canada...and now France.

I ordered a mod from a vape shop in France. Made it out of France OK. Then Monday (December 30, 2019) US Customs and Border Protection held up my parcel. Not a word since. I looked at the USCBP website. It lists a number of prohibited items, vaping equipment not being one of them.

I don't know what to do now. The Postal Service is no help. Since they (USCBP) haven't contacted me, I'm not sure that I should reach out to them first.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
 

I ordered a geekvape Aegis Boost Pod-Mod I read on a site that it is a salt nic device and ordered a kit that had 2 juices that came with it. The juices that came with had the option of 30mg and 50mg. I also ordered a few more juices and replacement coils. Iwith the higher mgs because I smoke and when I don't smoke I have a chew in. After doing some research i seen you can't use that high of mgs in a sub ohm device. The coils it came with are .4 and .6. Did I waste my money or can I use 50mg vape juice with the geekvape aegis boost
