E-pipe Problem

So I ordered an e-Pipe 628 from China, and it worked for a day, but now I can't get the coil to fire. The distributor offered to take it back, but maybe someone can help me figure out what's wrong with it, so I don't have to go through the hassle of wrapping it up and shipping it back overseas (at my expense).
Anyway, it's fully charged, and I definitely know how to work it, but when I connect the bowl to the cartomizer and push the button, nothing happens. I took the bowl apart and looked for a loose wire, but everything appeared to be in working order. I've also tried all three cartomizers, and none of them work anymore. (They all worked the first day.) I'm pretty sure the battery's center pin is making a connection with the cartomizer. I even pulled the center pin of one of the cartomizers out a little bit to make sure. Is there anything else I'm missing? My daughter swears she didn't drop it when I let her use it. This is so frustrating! I can figure out pretty much anything by fiddling with it long enough, yet this thing is giving me heck! I've been at it for over a week now.

Why Are Cartomizers Flat On The Top?

95% of everything I vape is with different clearomizers that I use. They have these tips on the top that fit my mouth nicely, and I like vaping with these clearomizers.

I keep a few cartomizers around for plastic cracking e-juices, and my question is - Why don't cartomizers also have that tip on the top? Why are they all flat?

I far prefer clearomizers over cartomizers for my set up, but for those times when I do use a cartomizer, it sure would be nice if they came with the same tip on top that clearomizers use. Cartomizers should at least let people put their own tip on them, but that's not possible either, at least on the ones that I've seen.  

Its Time To Upgrade The Pipe

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  

Recommend An Easy Set Up Please

Hi all, it's been awhile for me. I've been using an ego like battery with a rebuildable ego vision cartomizer since last May. While its rebuildable I have not gotten into replacing parts. The other day I went to reorder cartomizers to find they can no longer be ordered. I have only ever ordered from one place and I am at a loss for what to top my batteries with. I am looking for something really easy to use. If this is the wrong place to post, please move. I wasn't sure where to post since I still feel new but am not new.  

Sigelei 50w V2

Good evening ladies and gents! It's been awhile since I've been to this site. First off, I've been cigarette free for two years, eight months.

I first started with a pair of Ego Twists. They are still working with a lot of use! I decided to go with something that uses a 18650 battery and chose a E-Vic. That turned out to be a piece of junk. After that, I purchased a Z-Max which while being a good device, but hit the button wrong, and it will change settings. I thought it straight-lined (it didn't). I guess i hit the button wrong (again).

I ordered a Sigelei 50w V2, and have been using it for three days. I really like that it didn't cost an arm and a leg, $60 from BeVapeHappy. Yes, I could have spent $150, or more, but I have bills and such to pay.

The Sigelei is very simple to operate, and using 1.8Ω cartomizer and a IBTanked at 10w, it's amazing!  

Major Rta Problem

Okay you all helped me out tremendously, but now I have a new problem. I ordered and received a UWell D2 RTA. I unboxed it and built using the original coils that came with, everything was great and it worked perfectly. This morning I took it apart to change the cotton. Put it all back together went to go take a puff and got pretty much what felt like a quarter bottle of juice in my mouth. Took it apart and redid it, same scenario, took it apart again same scenario, took it apart of third time, check to make sure all gaskets where in place and they are put it back together and got an absolute Mouse full of juice again. Does anybody know about this RTA that can help me out please? I am at my wit's end with this thing, when I did it the first time everything was perfect and I loved it worked perfectly. I've already wasted a tremendous amount of juice trying to do this.  

The Old Dog And His Old Dog

Posting a picture of my set up for today got me thinking as it featured my oldest original well used, worn, scratched and faded iStick 30w which has served me so well and has far outlived its projected lifespan.


A lot changed for me back in October 2015 - my grown up daughter and her husband had switched to vaping as they couldn’t smoke even in the grounds at work and had taken to vaping.

They liked it and gave me an e-pipe, tobacco flavoured vape liquids, a couple of 18350 batteries for it and a Nitecore Charger.


I thanked them, said I’d give it a try - with my fingers crossed and the thought in my mind, “Aye that’ll be right, I’ll stick it in the drawer and phone you in a few weeks saying it broke and I’m really sad about it.”


A week later my conscience got the better of me and I tried it on a Friday morning ( the 17th of October ), was amazed that I got through a day on it without a craving, thought I’d try it over the weekend, did, and have never smoked in the four years plus since. Amazing since I had smoked for more than 50 years previous to that.


I took the e-pipe to Spain with me for the Winter and while there bought a couple of the old style Ego batteries and plastic tanks with their trailing glass fiber wicks “just in case.”


The 18350s need constant charging, the juice soon destroyed the threads of the pipe’s plastic tank and the back up devices gurgled badly and so I went down to Fuengirola where there was a big vape shop and asked could they recommend a better tank - they suggested a Nautilus Mini and when I asked about a battery for it ( I didn’t know they were actually called “Mods” then) they gave me an iStick 30w … and the rest is history.


I joined this Forum about five weeks after I switched to vaping. In those days MTL was THE thing, the setup I’d bought was “flavour of the month” along with the GS Air Tank and one by Kanger. I learned a lot on ECF in a very short time, and I’ll always be grateful for that.


I tend to be a bit of a stick in the mud when I find something I like and my motto tends to be “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!” I’ve experimented with mechs, squonkers, drippers, and coil building over the years but always come back to my old faithful Nautis and iSticks - simply because for me they work and they work well.


Having found kits that worked, I dropped out of the Forum for a few years until in Spain over the Winter gone I thought my Nautis were failing me or giving up the ghost ( in actual fact as I discovered when I got back to the UK I had had a batch of really really bad coils ) and started reading ECF again and found that the new best thing for MTL was the Zenith, so I gave it a whirl.


I was slow to take to the Zenith I have to admit - while it made my batteries last longer for some reason and was super easy to refill on the go, at first it vaped too dry for me, seemed too airy and the drip tip didn’t initially suit me at all but I persevered with it ( them) and now keep a set of seven for use outdoors or for when travelling or for when I simply feel like a change.


Here’s the Old Soldier!


Anyone else still using old kit?


 

Problem With Device

Hey guys.. i been vaping for a while and not had this hapen before.. i am using a Hugo Vapor Rader and ot has been working with no problems until today... when i go to use it, when i try to fire, it says high atomizer the first time i push fire button followed by low battery (have tried multiple sets) when i press again. If i persevere and keep attempting to fire it works fine as if there were no problem until the next time i go to use the device when the process repeats.. i have taken the tank apart and cleaned and put back but the issue continues.. anyone have any ideas on what is wrong/what i should do?  

Rockymountainvapor Problem?

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, they do not seem to have an active ECF thread anymore. Please move if necessary.

This thread is not to smear them, but to ask if any current customers know what's going on with them.

I know they are still in business because they have a 2019 holiday sale posted on their home page.

Problem is, I placed an order on 12/2 (Cyber Monday) and my order is still in "pending" status.

I contacted them via contact form 2 days ago and no response yet.

Are they usually this slow and unresponsive? Or did they suffer a tragedy/loss?

I ordered from several vendors that day (US and China) & all have shipped within 48 hours. All the US orders have been long since delivered by now. In fact, I am fixing on getting an order from china delivered sometime this week as it has already been released by US customs. lol

I have never experienced such a long wait for shipping from any US vape vendor so I'm a little concerned. I don't like my money being tied up with vendors who say they have X in stock, but don't. Not saying this is the case with RockyMountainVapor, but I don't really know.

I see they are no longer an ECF supplier, so that is a bit disconcerting. I'm certain they used to be at one point.  

Dropped My Itaste Mvp 3.0. Something Weird Happening

So I dropped by brand new MVP. I had the Eleaf Melo tank installed when it hit the ground. Didn't see how it landed or anything. But when I picked it up and tried to vape the resistance reads "-.-". The device seemed to be fine, so I thought maybe the coil or tank fell out of wack and tried it on my iStick 50w. It worked fine!

So obviously it must be the MVP then?? I installed another Melo that I bought and it works fine on the MVP. But after disassembling the older Melo (that was originally on the MVP) and putting back together it still will not fire on the MVP, just the iStick. I tried playing with the center pin on the Melo but have had no luck.

So what the heck is going on?  

Xtar Vc2s Charger Question

Hey guys,

I finally updated my charger a few days ago (I think before I had the VP2) or something like that. Quick question on something I'm noticing that seems a bit odd to me.

When I charge (for example 18650's), a battery that's fully charged in channel 1...it flashes FULL/0.00 mA, I remove the battery. A few minutes later, I'll put the battery back in the same bay, and all of a sudden there are a few hundred mA's that show up on the screen that need to be charged back into the battery and it takes a few minutes for channel 1 to recognize the battery is fully charged and flash FULL/0.00mA again (although it does show above that's fully charged at 4.2v).

If I take that same battery and do the same test but this time in channel 2, within a few seconds it recognizes that the battery is fully charged and flashes FULL/0.00mA. So it seems channel 1 is not working as well as channel 2 is, when it comes to recognizing information from the battery.

Is this normal for this charger or do I have a defective charger?
