My lineup is evic, svd, vamo, itaste vv but that's on its last legs so the backup lesson has been learned

Just out of interest roughly how long have you had the itaste vv and how do you know when it's on its last legs ?

I bought two itaste vv and I'm trying to minimise my spend on vape gear now, but wondered when I might need to flex the credit card again.

I got mine in July and the thread isn't very good on mine might be better on yours though also there is an airflow controller on safercigs that would help make it last longer I did drop it once an it has a small dent but but still works just the threading is on its way out I think

maybe not holding the charge long, maybe dropped/bashed to within an inch of it's life, threads stripping, too many juice spills into the electronics?

just theorising on my part, but these would be the common things to look out for on any battery/device

Charge is ok just threading issues

I thought 6 months would be about right with my itaste vv's. I was planning on getting more in the new year maybe from fasttech or uk. I just get the battery don't need to get new clearo's and chargers though the fasttech ones come with charger and the uk one it was extra if you wanted it.

Best advice I can give, would be get yourself along to a vape-meet.
You'd not believe what you can learn from fellow vapers in the flesh.
The forum is GREAT for finding stuff out, but being told and shown at the same time is even better!

[babs]

Would love to be able to do that Fred unfortunately it's not possible but this forum is great to find things out too.

My best advice is read read and more reading on this site, there is more guides/tips/advice on here than you can shake a stick at

EDIT: Oh and youtube has more than enough guides to make anyone a expert at vaping.....here for instance:

Sage advice, just one thing to add, make sure you have enough juice. When I first started the 15mls I bought with my kit ran out very quick and I had to ask a new juice supplier to send out my order very quick, which they did.
But I did buy 10 stinkies as I had no juice, I had only been vaping four days, and they were my last and tasted awful!

*shudder* oh yes gapy, I remember that one time I bought 'Home & Bargains menthol' rather than turn to cigarettes...it was almost enough to put me off vaping for life! No wonder people look at me like I'm mad when I extol the virtue of weird and wacky delicious flavours I've found (through forum)

Best thing about vaping is variety I alternate between my trusty aga-T, ego twist, itaste mvp, and a dripper. Vary your flavours too, keep a few cartos full of different ones so you can get a pleasant vape change when you want to.

I almost never ever buy most things in single quantities . . . the fear of running out is too strong.


Hence why I have a house full of stuff.

I thought it was a warehouse?

It was, until Walmart sent a cease and desist letter

I always thought it would be never ending like the warehouse in warehouse 13 you would be walking round there for weeks shelfs upon shelfs vaping goodies and a mixing room and steeping room and tasting room haha

What a wonderful place it would be though!   I'm not quite that bad, despite the rumours.

My advice to every vaper, not just noobs, is to stock up on everything you will need to make yourself self sufficient just in case the EU anti-ecig bureaucrats get their way come 2016
