Did anyone try a carto or a DC carto in their Verey tank yet?
Nice one Verey, your tanks look great and you're very fair with your prices too...good on ya!
Sorry Verey, just noticed your video..thanks.by the way, i can't say dual coil carto most of the time either! It normally comes out as doil cool carro..for some weird reason lol.

Hi Roachie,
If you get more than one reply offering a trade, i have two clearo tanks, and would like to swap one for a carto one..Does Arry now make a DC carto version? (i asked Arry who makes these tanks, if a DC carto would fit, and he's not sure it would fit properly in a standard carto tank).
Cheers.

Hi Scott and Maria,
Good for you for deciding to ditch the fags, believe me, it will be a decision you won't regret.
My wife Chris and I both packed up nearly 3 months ago, after decades of smoking, mountains of nicotine patches, the foulest tasting gum i've ever tasted, those plastic nicotine inhalers, prescribed drugs, nothing worked for very long, then we discovered ecigs. Here we are completely fag free almost 3 months later...next to having our kids, it's the best decision we've ever made.
Most people start with some kind of ecig starter pack (some of them have two complete ecigs as part of the set, one for each you), and then move on to something they can customise a bit..these sorts of ecig are often called 'PV's (Personal Vapers) or 'Mods' (modified)
In the kit you should get removable/chargeable batteries and charger, and all you need to start 'vaping' right away.
I'm not really experienced enough to recommend one brand over another..although Riva is supposed to be a good one to start with.
Good luck with giving the tobacco the boot, and welcome to the amazing world of egics and vaping.

It does actually work well too.
I was thinking of binning the DC carto i've had in for a couple of days due to flavour and TH dropoff, but using this inhale method, it brings the flavour and TH back.
Agree with other that say if you take too big a 'breath', it does tickle the back of my throat a bit..but the sweetness...wow, after the tickle dies down (a second or two), it's replaced with a wwarm, sweet, honey type taste (RY4/cherry cigar mix juice).
I can't see this working too well with those that have a very tight draw..probably bust a lung!
Nice tip, ta.

That's how we see it too.
It's like an evolutionary leap in smoking. It's true 21st century smoking.
A fag is light it, smoke it, dog it.

Thanks Jason. Another reason why this vaping malarkey is much better than smoking isn't it. Didn't have many people making rollup mods in their spare time did we?! ;-)
Cheers.

Okey dokey, Thanks for the help with images all. Here's the infamous ASDA nose hair trimmer mod:   (Please excuse the filthy keyboard..i keep meaning to clean the thing) It takes a 14500 battery, and works surprisingly well for a £2 nose trimmer! I've since disconnected the red LED, as it seemed to be taking too much power. Very rough first modding attempt...has glue spots all over, a few (a lot) soldering iron burns, and the 510 connector is a bit wobbly! All i did was gut it, change the switch (was a slide up latching one before) add an LED and a 510 connector. Here's an EXO that died from spontaneous switch combustion!  Replaced the switch, made one out of a toy helicopter rotor end weight (brass button), a micro switch i found in an old TV, a Boge Leo atty cover and ends. I've since got rid of the rubber black paint finish, and now it's all metal.  The stand was made from a bit of polycarbonate i had in the shed. I call it 'The Vapestation'..;-) Cheers all...go easy, i'm only little. |

You should be fine posting here Spikey. I agree with you about David at Provape, excellent customer service. I have a Provape which I have used once and never since, because I got the Provari. Between that and product testing, I don't get time to use anything else. Great stuff, thanks Jason. The wife's Provape is a solid little number isn't it..it looks and feels so much better in the 'flesh' than in the pictures eh. I'm thinking i know they're quite expensive, but a Provari and a Provape should last the pair of us years if we look after them..and as we're in this for the long haul, it should be money well spent we reckon. Images to make you all go " Woo..oh...dear.."coming right up!  Ok..i give up...wonder if anyone can tell me how i upload images? |

Is it allowed to post images in this forum, or should i post to the 'modding' forum?

1 year Hanow! Nicely done.
Can't comment on the taste of tobacco, not touched one since packing them in for ever! Even walking behind someone smoking in the street makes me feel a bit queasy to tell the truth! Every time i pick up my PV, i think how lucky we were to find vaping.
Cheers.

Well done to you too Roachie, 4 months down eh, nice going.
We love vaping too. I can't believe i went around stinking like a stale ashtray for most of my life.
Ah well..looking forwards to the next 30 odd years of vaping!
Cheers.
